Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang were all heroes of the founding of the Liu Song Dynasty, so before Liu Yu's death, the three of them and Tan Daoji held auxiliary political positions. Shortly after Emperor Shao of Song succeeded to the throne, he was deposed by the assistants Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, Fu Liang, and Tan Daoji, and Liu Yizhen was made emperor. Later, Xu Xianzhi believed that Liu Yizhen was not suitable for emperor, so he deposed Liu Yizhen and established Liu Yilong as emperor instead. In the end, Liu Yilong was able to succeed to the throne for Emperor Wen of Song.
Liu Yilong was able to inherit the throne, and indeed had a lot to do with Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang. After the abolition of Liu Yizhen, the then attendant Cheng Daohui wanted to support Liu Yigong as emperor, but was opposed by Xu Xianzhi, who was then a sikong, and led hundreds of officials to support Liu Yilong, and the heir to the throne was established.
After that, Xie Han led the xingtai to Jiangling, the town of Liu Yilong, who was then the assassin of Jingzhou, to welcome Liu Yilong into Beijing, and finally Liu Yilong was able to claim the throne as emperor. Liu Yilong followed Xie Han into Beijing, but he was suspicious, and the hundred officials accompanying him were all waiting in strict formation, guarding against the harm brought by Xie Han. This is the foreshadowing of the tragic end of Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang.
He was jealous of Liu Yilong and his power was constrained
After Liu Yilong became emperor, he became jealous of Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, who had established him. What needs to be understood is that all three were the founding heroes of Liu Song at that time, had the status of auxiliary government and dignity, and after Liu Yu's death, they were able to depose the Liu Song Emperor. For the Liu Song imperial family, this was an unfavorable factor that could already threaten the imperial power. Therefore, with the help of gradually relying on Wang Hua, Wang Tanshou, and Zhi Yanzhi, Liu Yilong, who succeeded to the throne, began to cut and suppress the power of Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang.
Liu Yilong
At the beginning of Liu Yilong's succession, Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, who had contributed a lot to his succession, were greatly rewarded. Liu Yilong entered Xu Xianzhi as Situ, Zhongshu ordered Fu Liang to add Fu Yi tongsan division, and Xie Han to be the assassin of Jingzhou. However, after taking control of the situation, Liu Yilong began to use his original Jingzhou confidants to gradually control the situation in Liu Song.
First, Xu Xianzhi and others wanted to let Liu Yilong's confidants go to Yanzhi and leave the center to serve in Yongzhou, but this obvious plan to weaken their own strength was opposed by Liu Yilong, and finally Liu Yilong let Yanzhi replace Xie Han's original position of Xie Han, who had gone to Jingzhou to take up his post, and led the leader. He also served as a servant of Wang Tanshou and Wang Hua, who were originally Jingzhou's confidants, and Wang Tanshou also led the Right Guard General, Wang Hua led the Xiao Riding General, and Zhu Zirong led the Right Army General. "Huiyong Prefecture Assassin Shi Chu Shu Du Du, is the right town of Xiangyang. Envy and other desires are to take Yanzhi as Yongzhou, not allowed to go up, enlist as the leader of the middle, and entrust the government with Rong. "With Tan Shou as his attendant, he is looking for the Right Guard General and the General of the Horse Riders." Zhu Rongzi was made the general of the Right Army. At this point, Liu Yilong was able to rely on his own confidants to control the central military power.
Tan Daoji participated, and three people died
Under this situation, the original Liu Song Triple Ministers, in addition to Xie Han who left the town of Jingzhou, Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang felt that Liu Yilong, the Emperor of Song, was jealous of themselves, so Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang surrendered their auxiliary political posts and "returned to the government", but they could not make the trip.
Xu Xianzhi
The two also tried to make friends with Wang Hua, Zhi Yanzhi, and others who had been appointed by Liu Yi, but they were vilified by Wang Hua and others, and vigorously publicized Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang's previous acts of killing the king.
Although Liu Yilong's intention to eradicate the three people at this time was already very obvious, Liu Yilong was still jealous that Xie Han in Jingzhou had the power of Jingzhou, so he pretended that the Northern Expedition would repair the warships and jointly encircle Tan Daoji. "The Supreme desires to envy and so on, and to be obscure." He proclaimed the Northern Expedition, and also said that he would worship the Jingling Tombs and govern the ships."
Finally, in the third year of Yuan Jia (426), the third year of Liu Yilong's succession, Liu Yilong announced that Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang had killed Emperor Shao of Song and Liu Yizhen before, which was a rebellious act, and questioned the three of them. Xu Xian committed suicide after hearing the news, and Fu Liang was also executed.
After that, Liu Yilong asked Southern Yanzhou to assassinate Shi Tan Daoji, Yongzhou to stab Shi Liu Pu, and zhongling to Yanzhi to send troops, and after Jingzhou Xie Han heard about it, he raised an army to resist, but in the end the soldiers were defeated and killed. At this point, Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, the three ministers of the Liu Song Dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, all ended up with a tragic end of being killed.
Looking at the similar endings of Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, the three ministers of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Liu Song, and even the ending of Tan Daoji, who later assisted Liu Yilong in killing Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, this was actually the outcome decided by Liu Yilong to strengthen imperial power and kill Liu Song's powerful heroes.
Tan Dao Ji
Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, Fu Liang, and Tan Daoji, who followed Liu Yu to establish Liu Song, were able to hold auxiliary political positions, and of course had great power. At that time, Xu Xianzhi served as Sikong, Lu Shangshi, and concurrently leading the Yangzhou Assassin History, Fu Liang served as the Zhongshu Supervisor, Shangshu Ling, and the General of the Leading Guard Army, and Xie Xian successively served as the General of the Right Guard, the Commander of the Servants, and the Leader of the Central Army. In the early liu song period, the three of them were all high-powered, which was also an important basis for the three of them to decide the abolition of the imperial power of the Liu Song Dynasty.
At that time, Liu Yilong, who was the assassin of Jingzhou, was supported by the three people and ascended the throne, and inevitably had to face the situation that the political power of the Liu Song Dynasty was controlled by the three people. In order to avoid the struggle with the imperial power, Xie Han asked himself to go out of the town of Jingzhou to assassinate the history, but he was also able to settle down and consolidate his own upstream key places.
Faced with the situation that the center was controlled by Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang, and the upper reaches of the outer fang town of Jingzhou were also controlled by Xie Han, Liu Yilong needed to be wary of the end of his own abolition like Emperor Shao of Song and Liu Yizhen. Therefore, in order to consolidate his imperial power, Liu Yilong appointed his original confidants in Jingzhou, and gradually squeezed out Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, who controlled the center and upstream. In the end, when the time was ripe, and tan Daoji, who had the strength of the army, was drawn together, Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, who threatened his imperial power, were killed.
Looking at the similar ending of Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, Fu Liang, and Tan Daoji in the end, this is actually a measure taken by Liu Yilong to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the Xiang power. As far as the consolidation of imperial power was concerned, Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang, who were able to influence the inheritance of liu song imperial power and abolish the establishment twice, the final tragic end was that the imperial power was happy to see this result.
Combined with Liu Yilong's reasons when denouncing the three people, it is believed that Xu Xianzhi, Xie Han, and Fu Liang's abolition of the two emperors is not correct, although the three have the merit of supporting their own succession, it is undeniable that the three are also a threat to the stability of the imperial power. This is also the fundamental reason why in the end, although the three people wanted to retreat and return to the government, they were still killed by Liu Yilong, who wanted to consolidate the imperial power.
