The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Today Xiaobian wants to tell you about the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty is Liu Yu, it can be said that a Ming Emperor, he and his sons are representatives of the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, speaking of Emperor Wen of Song, I believe everyone is not unfamiliar, he is Liu Yu's third prince, named Liu Yilong, who ascended to the throne when he was less than twenty years old, it can be said that he was very powerful, and he was the emperor for thirty years. Xiao bian felt that with his presence, he would make the Southern Song Dynasty so stable and an undoubted Ming Jun.
Everyone knows that the dynasty at that time was a chaotic world, the people did not have a good life, and civil wars were raging, and in such an environment, this Song Wendi could also carry out a prosperous life, and xiaobian really impressed him. At that time, although there were wars, but Liu Yilong did not start a war, he chose to let the people of the country cultivate and recuperate, Xiaobian said this, everyone may feel that this is a benevolent monarch, but he is not a female monarch, everyone should not be deceived by what I said above.
His methods can be described as very powerful, and in order to stabilize his throne, he designed to kill many courtiers in the imperial court to stabilize his throne. At that time, the three Northern Expeditions were all major failures, but in the end they died at the hands of their sons, and the end was too tragic. In fact, at the time of succession, the rule of Yuan Jia, which was created, was to continue Liu Yu's plan, which was not his idea, his father could be described as a generation of overlords, if he had to die a few years later, perhaps the Southern and Northern Dynasties could really be unified in his hands at that time.
Liu Yu used a series of political means to make his country strong, and later the eldest son became emperor
, continuing his father's plan at that time. And also added some ideas of their own, in the light of the court to absorb talents, and attach importance to the agriculture of the people, encourage farming. Improving the knowledge of the people of the country, in such a chaotic dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty became a powerful country. For the common people, Liu Yu was a good emperor, and Liu Yilong was also a good emperor.
In order to develop the people's agriculture, he also set up a special Litian Edict and sent ministers to give the people grain seeds, not to give, but to borrow, and when the grain was planted, the grain was handed over to the imperial court. If the agricultural governance of any place is not good, Liu Yilong will dispose of the officials in this place as punishment. Not only did he attach importance to the lives of the people, but he also built some hydraulic projects, and some of the current water conservancy projects were established from that time.
One year, there was a sudden drought in the countryside, and there was no harvest of grain grain, and Liu Yilong ordered to go to the relief of the victims, and his uncle embezzled and accepted bribes, and after he learned about it, he directly removed his post and was punished accordingly, which can be said to make the people love him more. During his reign, there were also many literati. In fact, when Liu Yu had just died, the new emperor was Liu Yifu, but Liu Yifu drank all day, and when Liu Yu defeated the Southern Dynasty, a group of founding ministers who fought with him appeared.
And Liu Yifu also abolished these courtiers. It can be said that these courtiers were absolutely loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, he discussed the need to re-establish a prince, and after consultation, he let Liu Yilong become emperor, but after he became emperor, he turned his face and did not recognize anyone, and killed all the four courtiers who supported him as emperor. Not only did he kill all the founding heroes, but he was afraid that his fourth brother was robbing him of the throne, so he also killed his younger brother.
Although the emperor was very cruel to his courtiers and his brothers, but in the treatment of his son, he still could not be cruel, at that time he liked his son Liu Shao very much, but his son had different opinions from himself, in the Northern Expedition at that time, the two were even more opinionated, at that time the Northern Expedition was three times a failure, Liu Shao believed that the failure of these wars was the responsibility of the minister Jiang Zhan, so he wanted to kill this courtier, but Liu Yilong did not want to kill this courtier, Later, the emperor snubbed Liu Shao's mother concubine, which deepened the hatred between the two of them.
Liu Shao and his other brothers committed a terrible mistake, fearing that their father and emperor would know, and even joined forces with wizards outside the palace to murder Liu Yilong, and were later discovered by the eunuchs around the emperor. Although Liu Yilong was very angry, after all, this was his own blood and bones, and he was not willing to punish them, so he did not pursue the responsibility of the two of them, and the brothers did not repent, and they acted even more wantonly, and even secretly hid the "master", although the emperor knew his son's approach, he still couldn't bear to be ruthless, so he put this matter down.
But what he didn't expect was that it was because of his own soft heart that he finally killed himself. The brothers were so afraid that they would be punished, and once when he was out, the brothers led soldiers and killed him. And such a generation of monarchs was killed by his own son, and Liu Shao also became the emperor, but not long after he was killed by his other brothers, it is also said that how can the emperor who ascends to the throne make a dynasty last?
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
