"Those who have gained the tao have much help, and those who have lost the way have little help," and since ancient times, people have praised the kings who love the people like sons, and for the tyrannical and unkind kings, they are often deeply resentful.
Liu Yu, the deposed emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was a brutalist who regarded the lives of others as grass, and he also took advantage of the fact that Xiao Daocheng, the prime minister, used his belly as an arrow target when he was sleeping, which almost cost the prime minister his life, so Xiao Daocheng had a grudge against the later deposed emperor and vowed to repay this arrow.
Brutal ancestors of the Liu clan
Liu Yu's brutality may have inherited some of the traits of his ancestors, Liu Yu's father was Liu Yu, and the emperor before Liu Yu was the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye, who was a rare tyrant in the Southern Song Dynasty, who often killed people indiscriminately, even to his uncles, planning to kill them.
Of course, his uncles were not easy to mess with, Liu Ziye's uncles were united, and finally Liu Ziye was ruthlessly killed by his uncles, and later Liu Yu was proclaimed king, known as Emperor Ming of Song.
Because Liu Yu's means of obtaining the throne were not legitimate, many people were reluctant to submit to him, and Liu Yu directly adopted a simple and rude approach.
He killed all the capable people who did not want to support him and could not use them for themselves, leaving most of them with inflammatory tendencies, and the general Xiao Daocheng, who had been making many achievements for the Southern Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, was also walking on thin ice in the face of this situation.
Emperor Ming of Song was not only cruel, but also suspicious, and he had always been afraid that Xiao Daocheng had a disobedient heart, and he also sent people to reward the imperial wine to test whether Xiao Daocheng was loyal.
Xiao Daocheng was very aware of Emperor Song Mingcheng's intentions, so he decisively drank the imperial wine to show his heart, and Emperor Song Mingcheng let down his guard against Xiao Daocheng from then on.
Fish begins to rot from the head
Emperor Ming of Song died of illness after eight years of reign, and his ten-year-old son Liu Yu took the throne, and was known as the Deposed Emperor.
Less than two years after Liu Yu ascended the throne, there were rebels, and finally they were suppressed by the general Xiao Daocheng, who was made the leader of the Southern Song Dynasty and the assassin of Yanzhou to defend Jiankang.
Three years later, the fifteen-year-old deposed emperor Liu Yu began to expose his cruelty.
He often carried needles, chisels, and saws with him, and as long as the left and right attendants were slightly unsatisfactory, he would go on a killing spree, and his tyranny was even greater than that of the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye.
With such a murderous king, the people of the city did not dare to go out, so that the prosperous Jiankang suddenly became a deserted city.
After the empress dowager heard the news, she tried her best to persuade Liu Yu, but Liu Yu still insisted on going her own way, and what was more, Liu Yu also disliked his mother too nagging, and ordered the doctor to poison his mother, but fortunately, under the gentle persuasion of the doctor, Liu Yu gave up killing the empress dowager.
Archery for fun
The empress dowager was spared, but Liu Yu took aim at Xiao Daocheng, a hero who had helped the imperial court suppress the rebellion, at that time Xiao Daocheng had already made great achievements in battle and held a high position, equivalent to the later position of prime minister.
On this day, The Prime Minister Xiao Daocheng was taking a nap at home, when the deposed emperor Liu Yu suddenly broke in and saw Xiao Daocheng's round belly.
He thought it was funny, and then he stepped forward to draw a bullseye on it, and then prepared to shoot the target with an arrow, and Xiao Daocheng, who was frightened and woken up, quickly got up and got out of bed and knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
Later, under the persuasion of the guards, the Later Emperor finally agreed to wrap the arrow in a cloth and shoot the prime minister's belly, and before leaving, he also threatened Xiao Daocheng and said, "You wait, tomorrow I will kill you."
Hearing this, Xiao Daocheng was really frightened, but he was not frightened, he looked at the back of the Emperor Hou's departure and secretly resolved: "You wait, sooner or later one day, I will definitely take revenge on this arrow!" ”
The tyrant was killed, and the revenge was repaid with an arrow
As an emperor, Liu Yu never knew that he loved the people like a son, and often out of fun, he regarded the lives of others as a child's play, so most of the people around him were often afraid and frightened in the face of Liu Yu, afraid that they would not be able to do anything and lose their lives.
Of course, there were also a small number of people who could not bear all kinds of evil deeds in the face of Liu Yu, so Liu Yu had already died tragically at the hands of one of his own subordinates before he could kill Xiao Daocheng.
After Liu Yu was killed by his subordinates, the head was sent to Xiao Daocheng's palace, Xiao Daocheng saw that the cruel and unrestrained Emperor was really dead, and the revenge of the once arrow was finally repaid, and the heart he had been hanging on could be put down steadily, and then he dressed up and entered the palace to discuss politics.
If you don't win the people's hearts, you will destroy yourself
Since Xiao Daocheng used his own belly as a target for the deposed emperor, and even said such terrible words to him before leaving, Xiao Daocheng made a great ambition, in the face of such a cruel monarch who did not care for the lives of his subjects, he could only kill him quickly, otherwise everyone could become a ghost under Liu Yu's sword.
Therefore, Xiao Daocheng gradually accumulated his own strength in the later stages, united with the people around Liu Yu, and eventually killed Liu Yu.
Xiao Daocheng succeeded because of the will of the people, Liu Yu's brutality had already aroused the wrath of the people, and the king lost the hearts of the people and would be destroyed.
Timely cultivation of the three views
The posthumous position of the deposed emperor can be described as a top of ten thousand people, but he did not cultivate a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values.
He was only interested in fun, a fifteen-year-old teenager, who had no fear for the lives of others, and even had murderous thoughts about his own mother, and it was creepy to think about such a person.
There are also similar incidents on the news, some cases of children brutally killing their mothers, and a person who can kill his mother who is pregnant in October, which is really frightening.
Whether it is the deposed emperor or some children in the current society, why can they persecute the lives of others so brazenly?
In addition to the brutality of the parties themselves, it is their parents who are worth reflecting on. Do you do your best to educate your children in a timely manner with heart and love?
When the Emperor was 15 years old, it was the adolescence of our children now, and the emotions accumulated as children or the bad behaviors they learned as children grew up to be exposed.
When the Later Emperor was young, he often heard the pleasure obtained by the elders through continuous killing, so Liu Yu also believed that this was the right behavior when he grew up, so that he finally died tragically at the hands of others.
Our current parents should learn from history and not have a second or third brutal post-deposed emperor appear.
In the process of children growing up, do their own responsibilities, cultivate children's correct values, sense of responsibility and reverence for their own and others' lives from an early age, do not feel that children will let them develop at will, so as not to let parents have weak hearts when they grow up, and regret it is too late.
