In ancient China, the struggle for power and position can be described as a royal family, especially as the imperial family, their struggle for power is not uncommon, in order to seize the emperor's throne, the drama of father and son killing each other is also often happening. Among them was such an unfortunate emperor, who had just killed his father to seize the throne, and was killed by his own descendants.
In the second year of Qianfu, Zhu Wen participated in the peasant uprising, and he relied on his own ability to lay down many cities. However, the peasant rebel army was full of contradictions and could not achieve unity, and Zhu Wen's cronies advised him to submit to the Tang Dynasty. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Wen felt that he could only surrender, so he defected to the Tang Dynasty and helped the Tang Dynasty suppress the peasant revolt at that time.
For Zhu Wen's behavior, Emperor Tang did not hesitate to praise, but also gave the name "Zhu Quanzhong", hoping that Zhu Wen would be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. However, Zhu Wen was not satisfied with this, his goal was always the throne, and in the following period of time, Zhu Wen gradually grasped the power of the imperial government with his own ability, and then he forced the Tang Emperor to give the throne to himself. After Zhu Wen ascended the throne, he changed Tang to Liang, for Liang Taizu.
Zhu Wen was fierce in nature, and all the battlefields he passed were bound to bleed and drift, and it was unbearable to see. Empress Zhang Hui was still able to advise her when she was alive, and after her death, Zhu Wen became even more brutal and absurd. Zhu Wen often let his son go out to fight, but he himself had his daughter-in-law mixed with him, and what was even more shocking was that Zhu Wen's son not only did not feel ashamed, but used his wife to please Zhu Wen and wanted Zhu Wen to pass the throne to himself.
For Zhu Wen's character, his heirs were deeply affected by it, and one was more incompetent than the other, which also made Zhu Wen not know who to pass the throne to. After Zhu Wen fell ill, he thought about it and decided to pass the throne to his adopted son Zhu Youwen, but this matter was known to his son Zhu Youjue, who was extremely dissatisfied with his father's decision, so he found an opportunity to stab his father, and then killed Zhu Youwen and took the throne himself.
However, the matter did not end like this, although Zhu Youjue ascended to the throne, but because of his means of seizing the throne, there are still many people talking about it. After Zhu Youjue ascended the throne, he was also absurd and unscrupulous, which made the ministers of the DPRK deeply dissatisfied. In the second year after Zhu Youjue ascended the throne, his descendants and brothers planned a coup d'état together with their ministers, forcing Zhu Youjue to have nowhere to escape, and finally chose to commit suicide.
After Zhu Youjue's death, Zhu Wen's third son, Zhu Youzhen, succeeded to the throne, but because he was equally faint and incompetent, he became the last emperor of Later Liang, and soon after Later Liang died at his hands. Later Liang had three emperors, but Hou Liang only had a history of 16 years, the most prominent feature of which was the killing of father and son.
Zhu Youjue was as ambitious as his father Zhu Wen, and for the sake of the throne, he did not hesitate to stab his own father, but Zhu Youjue did not get what he wanted, although he seized the throne, but he reigned for less than two years, he was forced to die by his own children and brothers. Later Liang also survived because of this father-son cannibalism, and became a short-lived dynasty.
