War is cruel, and there must be victory or defeat in war, and if the defeated side wants to survive, it must surrender to the victorious side and concede. Similarly, at the time of dynastic change, if the losing party wants to survive, it must become a slave to the country and surrender its identity. Even in order to eliminate the other party's defenses, in order to prove that they are not a threat, some of the lords after the fall of the country will pretend to be stupid and beg for forgiveness to the new monarch like slaves.
The last monarch of the fallen country is generally referred to as the Post-Lord. In history, there are many post-lords who were forced to submit to their subjects, the most famous of which are Liu Chan, the lord of the Western Shu Dynasty, Sun Hao, the lord of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Chen Shubao, the lord of the Southern Dynasty, and Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. All four are incompetent, and the country is broken and the family is destroyed, while they themselves kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and they are still breathing, which can be described as ridiculous.
The first Western Shu Empress Dowager Liu Chan was known to everyone, and Zhao Zilong's seven in and seven outs was to save him. He ascended the throne in 223 AD, and with the loyal assistance of Zhuge Liang, he reigned for a total of 41 years, which was not easy in the war-torn era of the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Chan can be said to be the longest reigning emperor in the Three Kingdoms. After Liu Chan stepped down in 263 AD, liu chan surrendered to the state of Wei, and in order to make the other side accept his surrender, Liu Chan also made a lot of efforts.
He inherited his father Liu Bei's talent for acting, and went out of the palace with his hands tied to ask for surrender, and such a respectful attitude really satisfied the other party. In the days when he was a prisoner, Liu Chan's happy attitude presented him with many dangers, which was also the biggest highlight of his last days.
Because of Liu Chan's attitude of being at ease with the situation and being carefree and only caring about pleasure, Sima Yan did not have much hostility towards him. Therefore, Liu Chan died peacefully after living peacefully in a foreign country for more than ten years, at the age of sixty-four. In an era of constant war, this age can be said to be the end of life.
This second was Sun Hao, the lord of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, who was in the same era as Liu Chan. The Eastern Wu Emperor was known for his cruelty, and after he was taken prisoner in the Jin Dynasty, people could not believe him, after all, he was not like Liu Chan. How could Sun Hao, who was IQ Online, not realize this, but since he was a prisoner of the ranks, he was naturally prepared for the test that Emperor Jin wanted to carry out.
When Sun Hao was escorted to the Jin Emperor, the Jin Emperor gave him a seat and told him that this position had been reserved for you for a long time, and the tone was full of pride. And Sun Hao did not have a little ambiguity, and replied wittily, I also left the same position for you there. Emperor Jin was stunned and laughed, so Sun Hao passed the Jin Emperor's pass and eventually lived until his death in the Jin Kingdom.
The third is Chen Shubao, the lord of southern Chen, who had a brilliant life and single-handedly established the Southern Chen Dynasty, but when it came to the fifth generation, there was a problem, and the Chen family actually produced a ridiculous emperor, that is, Chen Shubao. Chen Shubao never deals with political affairs, but only knows how to enjoy, eat, drink and have fun all day. Subsequently, he was destroyed by Emperor Wen of Sui, and it was logical that Lord Chen Hou was also captured.
It is also very interesting to be captured, the Sui Dynasty army hit all the way to the gate of Jiankang, Chen Shubao immediately panicked, none of the officials in the city would command the battle, there was an army in the air but could only wait for death, a group of people anxiously hugged and cried. As a result, the Sui army directly attacked the city, and the Chen Dynasty's army was completely defeated.
However, Lord Chen Hou dragged his two concubines into a dry well, and was eventually captured by the soldiers. After being captured, Chen Shubao immediately expressed his loyalty, and at first, Chen Shubao was nominally a minister of the Sui Dynasty, but his name was not right, his words were not smooth, and he could not communicate with others, so he strongly demanded that Emperor Wen of Sui formally appoint him in writing. In such a heartless and lungless way, in the end, Emperor Wen of Sui lost his guard, and thus also got a good death.
The fourth was Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and everyone had memorized his words "When is the spring flower and autumn moon". He was also the only one of the four who did not have a good death, but he could only blame himself, did not think of committing suicide when he was captured, did not correct his identity after being captured, and was full of resentment.
In Li Yu's life, his strength is to write a word and then give it to the harem beauties to flirt. Because of this, he is full of literati temperament and bookish temperament. And the students care most about dignity, they can't stand the humiliation, but they want to survive. Having become a captive, but still wanting to be humiliated, ridiculous. He had submitted to the Northern Song Dynasty, but was forced to leave the ancestral temple, and his beloved Empress Xiaozhou was occupied again, which directly defeated the tenacious Southern Tang Empress.
Finally he vented his anger in the form of a poem on his birthday. He knew that someone was watching him, but he didn't want to put up with it any longer, and a masterpiece of ancient writing, "Yu Meiren", was born, "just like a river of spring water flowing eastward", and the end of the straight chest was to be given death.
Conclusion: "The homeland cannot look back at the moon and the middle of the moon", and history often repeats itself, back and forth. The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time. War is a necessary means of determining ownership, and there is nothing wrong with a gun out of power. Since it is a war, there will be victory and defeat, and the winner will live and the loser will die. Success and defeat, history is so realistic and cruel.
