In August of the first year of Jing He (465 CE, the sixth year of Northern Wei Peace), after killing Liu Yigong, Liu Yuanjing, Yan Shibo and other auxiliary ministers, Liu Ziye finally took power into his arms. The contradiction between the little emperor and the auxiliary chancellor has existed since ancient times, so it is difficult to say whether Liu Ziye did it right or wrong, but after killing several people, Liu Ziye's performance was quite disappointing.
Someone will fall, and Xu Ye will become Liu Ziye's most favored minister. Although Xu Ye is also quite talented, as an old minister of Liu Song, he relied on patting his ass this time. Xu Ye was good at greeting flattery and knew how to please others, at this time the ministers of the DPRK were either killed or exiled, only Xu Ye was scheming and skillful in pandering, and never rebelled against the emperor. Therefore, Liu Ziye was more generous to him, and no one among the other subordinates could catch up with him.
Liu Ziye is really fooling around with people like this, but compared with Liu Ziye's private life, this is not a thing, in fact, It is not Liu Ziye alone. Princess Liu Chuyu of Shanyin was the eldest daughter of Liu Jun, the half-sister of Liu Ziye. Although Liu Chuyu was married to he shu, the duke of Tuoma, she was an unbridled and debauched person, and once she said to Liu Ziye: "Concubines and your majesty, although the gender of men and women are not the same, but they are born of a father. His Majesty's six palaces can have tens of thousands of beautiful women, but the concubines are only horses, which is really unfair. ”
Hearing his sister complain like this, Liu Ziye not only did not criticize, but chose thirty face heads (male favorites) for Liu Chuyu, served next to Liu Chuyu, and crowned Liu Chuyu as the princess of Huiji County, and Feng Lu was the same as the king of the county, is this ridiculous? But compared to what they did later, the sisters and brothers did not do anything for the time being.
Because every time Liu Ziye went out, Liu Chuyu would accompany the chancellor, and as a result, Liu Chuyu saw that the official Lang Chuyuan was beautiful, so Liu Chuyu went to Liu Ziye to ask Chu Yuan to serve him. This Chu Yuan is not small, he is the son of Chu Zhanzhi, who is a general who has been a horseman, or Liu Yu's son-in-law. Chu Yuan himself was also a donkey, married to Liu Yilong's daughter Princess Nanjunxian. Therefore, according to the generation, Chu Yuan is Liu Chuyu's uncle.
Of course, Liu Chuyu did not care about these things, Liu Ziye saw his sister's request, of course, he also agreed to his request. Chu Yuan stayed in Liu Chuyu for ten days and was repeatedly persecuted by Liu Chuyu, but Chu Yuan swore to die and was finally spared. The strangeness of the sisters and brothers can be seen, in fact, according to many gossip sources, the sisters and brothers themselves also have ambiguous scandals.
Not to mention the sexual immorality with his sister, Liu Ziye was also quite disrespectful to his father Liu Jun. Once, Liu Ziye ordered another portrait of the emperors of the Liu Song Dynasty to be painted in the Taimiao Temple, and after the painting was completed, he entered the temple to watch, pointed to the portrait of Gaozu Liu Yu, and said: "He is a great hero, and he has captured several Tianzi alive." He also pointed to the portrait of Emperor Wen Liu Yilong and said, "He is not bad, but it is a pity that he was beheaded by his son in his later years." Then, pointing to the portrait of his father, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun, he said, "He is a big rosacea, but why is there no more now?" After saying that, he immediately asked the painter to draw Liu Jun's rosy nose.
If you think that Liu Ziye's absurdity is limited to this, you are wrong, Liu Ziye quickly targeted his aunt Liu Yingmei, the princess of Xincai. Once Liu Ziye announced that Liu Yingmei had entered the palace to meet and forced him to have sex with her. However, at this time, Liu Yingmei was already He Mai's wife, and in order to permanently occupy Liu Yingmei, Liu Ziye left Liu Yingmei in the harem, calling her Xie Gui's concubine, and lied to the outside world that Liu Yingmei had died. In order to make the lie more realistic, Liu Ziye killed a palace maid and gave it to He Mai to be buried with the etiquette of a princess. Afterwards, Liu Ziye also named Liu Yingmei as his wife, and with special permission, allowed Liu Yingmei to ride in a royal car with a dragon flag and a bell, and when entering and leaving, the street market he passed through was martial law.
This kind of little trick naturally can't hide from He Mai, who is plain and cheerful, has a chivalrous demeanor, and has many people who die for him. Of course, he could not bear this insult, so he planned to depose Liu Ziye while he was traveling, and install Liu Zixun, the king of Jin'an, as emperor. But who knew that things were leaking, and Liu Ziye, who had suspected He Mai's ambitions, personally led his troops to kill He Mai.
Liu Ziye's absurd cruelty is by no means limited to this, so what kind of moth will he make? We'll talk about that next time.
