Emperors of the Liu Song Dynasty: A pair of difficult brothers - Liu Yifu and Liu Yilong

(Miserable Emperor 0408)

Only Tan Daoji was not the mastermind, and the second was like Xie Han, who held the military power out of the town, Liu Yilong did not want to expand the scope of the attack, and ordered him to go out with Xie Han, temporarily escaping the disaster - living for an extra decade. Tan Daoji was a famous general in the early Song Dynasty, and in the past ten years, he had made many military achievements, and his close generals around him had also experienced hundreds of battles, and his eight sons were all talented. Emperor Liu Yilong, because of his frequent illness, sent his younger brother Liu Yikang (劉義康), the Prince of Pengcheng, to assist the imperial government. In the twelfth year of Yuan Jia (436 AD), Liu Yilong's illness turned serious, and Liu Yikang, fearing that no one would be able to control Tan Daoji after the death of the emperor's brother, requested that Tan Daoji be recalled to the capital to see him. Tan Daoji lived in Jiankang for more than a month, and Liu Yilong's condition improved, so he let Tan Daoji return to his office. In the spring of the following year, Tan Daoji had already boarded the ship, and Liu Yilong suddenly became ill again, so he hurriedly summoned Tan Daoji to the shore, saying that he was going to set up a banquet to entertain him. Tandoji was arrested as soon as he came ashore, and the emissary pronounced his crime with the emperor's holy will:

"Tan Dao Ji Ji Jie is fortunate, The Horn is in the past, the pet spirit is good, and it is not comparable." I did not feel admiration for the special encounter, and I thought of it with great thoughts, but I was empty and doubtful, and I walked on the frost for a long time. Since Yuan Jia, suspicion and obstruction, unrighteousness, and ungodly things have been attached, and the people who have been violent have listened to them and shown themselves. Xie Lingyunzhi is fierce and ugly, not subject to conspicuousness, accepting heresies, and hiding every compatibility. And sneaking gold goods, tempting plagiarism, fleeing will arrive, really prosperous, day and night waiting, hope is not hopeful. The general of the Zhen Army, Zhongde, entered the DYNASTY in previous years and repeatedly showed this trace. It is known for its positions as Tai Hyun, Yu Ban Ha Yue, Mi Sew Rong Yang, Shu or Noh Ge. And the long evil is not merciful, the fierceness is reckless, because of the disease of the sleep, the rules are reckless. Pang Yanzu, who joined the army of the former Southern Barbarians, had a traitorous state and secretly informed him. The husband and the prince have no generals, and the punishment is forgiven. The sin is deep, and Joss is even worse. You can collect the court lieutenant and correct the punishment letter. Nothing was left to chance. (Book of Song and Biography of Tan Daoji)

More than two hundred words of Liu Yilong's holy will are all frightening, mysterious and mysterious crimes, such as "empty doubt", "guessing and obstructing knots", such as "unrighteous and unkind heart, attaching to the reckless things", such as "sneaking gold goods, attracting plagiarism", such as "long evil is not bad", "rules and evil intentions", etc., but there is no real evidence of the crime. The sentence that barely has some practical content is "Xie Lingyunzhi is fierce and ugly, not a subject is conspicuous, accepts heresies, and every compatibility is hidden", to the effect that Xie Lingyun is a person with a vicious heart, a bad word, and a failure to keep the way of the subjects is already very obvious, but Tan Daoji accepts his heresy and often covers it up for him. Linchuan Nei Shi Xie Lingyun was the grandson of Xie Xuan, a famous eastern Jin Dynasty minister and famous landscape poet, who was killed in the tenth year of Yuan Jia (433 AD) for the crime of "conspiracy".

TanDoji (?) -April 9, 436)

Don't say that Xie Lingyun's so-called "conspiracy to rebel" is basically an unjust case, even if the evidence is conclusive, Tan Daoji's "accepting and accepting heresies, every compatibility is hidden" is also difficult to sit on, not to mention that Xie Lingyun has been "ambushed" three years ago, if Tan Daoji really has the evil of complicity, it should have been "Ming Canonical Punishment" three years ago, why should it be postponed to three years later? It is said that when Tan Daoji was arrested, he was "like a torch" out of anger, took off his turban and fell to the ground, saying with hatred: "It is the Great Wall of Ruru!" Sure enough, when the Northern Wei monarchs heard the news, they all joyfully celebrated, saying, "Tan Daoji is dead, and there is no one in Eastern Wu who deserves our fear!" In this way, Tan Daoji can indeed be called the "Great Wall" of the Liu Song Dynasty, and Lu You's poem "Shu Rage" "Plugging the Great Wall into the Air and Promising Yourself" uses this allusion. Tan Daoji had two confidants who loved Xue Tong and Gao Jinzhi, and because of their bravery in battle, they were compared to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and were also killed at the same time; and Tan Daoji's eight sons were killed one by one. Liu Yilong finally left behind a grandson of Tan Daoji, TanRu- the three or nine clans that did not kill and exterminate the "rebels" were already "emperors and great graces".
