We can often hear this in some costume dramas and see it in some novels, letting us know that being born in the imperial family is not only a fortunate thing, behind the glory and wealth of the brocade, there is more unspeakable bitterness and sorrow.
But who would have thought that this sentence would have originated from the last words of a child who was only ten years old?
This child was none other than Liu Ziluan, the Prince of Filial Piety of Shiping.
He was crowned king at the age of 5, worshipped at the age of 8, and died at the age of 10.
The short life was full of scenery, but in the end it ended with a tragic end of being given death.
Let future generations can't help but sigh with regret:
''The most ruthless imperial family!'' ''
The Son enjoys grace by virtue of his mother
Liu Ziluan was the eighth son of Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of song, and his mother was Yin Shuyi, the daughter of Liu Yixuan, the king of Nan County. Yin Shuyi had a beautiful appearance and was favored by Emperor Xiaowu of Song. Therefore, under such a premise, Liu Ziluan, who was born by Yin Shuyi, was naturally also very happy by Liu Jun.
Unfortunately, since the ancient red face has a short life, Yin Shuyi has died with infinite grace and unending beauty. Her death caused a great blow to Liu Jun, causing Liu Jun to be devastated, his soul was not guarded, and he even had no intention of government affairs, ignoring his duty as an emperor, but focusing on going to her spirit every day to drink and mourn.
Built a temple for her.
It is precisely because of this fierce and deep love for Yin Shuyi that Liu Ziluan, who lost his mother at a young age, not only did not fall out of favor, but was even more cherished by Liu Jun. He gave the prince, who was still a child, not only extravagant clothes and food, but also rare treasures
Power that everyone in the government and the opposition envy
。
Official fortunes are prosperous, and the steps are smooth
When Liu Ziluan was five years old, he was crowned the King of Xiangyang,
There were 2,000 households in The Food Estate, and he was posthumously appointed as the general of the Eastern Commandery. At the same age, he was renamed the Prince of Xin'an, changed to the general of Northern Zhonglang, the Assassin of Southern Xuzhou, and the leader of Southern Langya Taishou. Three years later, he was awarded the Zhongshu Order.
The post of Zhongshu Ling was feasible for the position of prime minister during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the status was the same as that of the prime minister, which was true
One man is below ten thousand
, highly respected. But if you want to hold this position, its threshold is also very high, if you are not a rich and talented person, there is no chance to enter the job.
However, it was such an important position that Liu Jun did not use other elites, but asked himself to be an eight-year-old prince into the bag, and his extreme preference for Liu Ziluan was also evident.
But unfortunately, Liu Jun will not know until his death,
His excessive favor with Liu Ziluan eventually became a weapon for forcing the prince to die
The new emperor took the throne and became a fish
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the worse you fall. let
Liu Ziluan is in the phase, which undoubtedly pushes him to the cusp of the storm, becoming a thorn in the eye of some people, a thorn in the flesh, and wants to get rid of it quickly
When Emperor Xiaowu of Song was alive, he could also provide protection for Liu Ziluan and protect him from the dangers around him. However, in 464 AD, Emperor Xiaowu of Song died, the new emperor took the throne, the age of ten, Liu Ziluan, who was not yet winged, instantly became a fish that was nailed to the chopping board for others to grasp.
The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended to the throne was to order liu ziluan to be degraded as a commoner.
And gave him a glass of poisoned wine
。 The new emperor was none other than Liu Ziluan's half-brother Liu Ziye, a famous tyrant of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Liu Ziye was detained in Jiankang as a proton at an early age
During those gray years, he was humiliated, persecuted many times, and almost wanted to die. Such an experience has made Liu Zi's heart sensitive and twisted, and he is in urgent need of family comfort. However, after becoming crown prince, Liu Jun did not give Liu Ziye so-called fatherly love, but often scolded and reprimanded. As a result, Liu Ziye's psychology gradually deformed,
For the younger brother Liu Ziluan, who was loved by his father, he was also full of jealousy. And Liu Jun's desire to depose him as crown prince and re-establish Liu Ziluan made Liu Ziye hate this younger brother and want to put him to death.
If today is already his, Liu Ziluan's fate is decided by him Liu Ziye.
In the next life, I wish to serve the people and not to give birth to the imperial family
Death is something that everyone fears. Many adults are emotional and disfigured in the face of death, let alone a child.
Perhaps we all think that when this beloved little prince greets death, he should be afraid, uneasy, and crying.
But he didn't.
With a kind of arrogance and dignity that only adults can have, he greeted his own death with detachment and indifference
。 At the same time, people are surprised and admired, but also feel heartache and regret, helpless, and even unconsciously think, if this child grows up, what kind of powerful character will he become?
Ten-year-old children, who should be the most innocent, are ignorant of everything and are full of curiosity. Ten-year-old children should have stayed in the library to listen to Mr. Li's lectures, and when they went to play after school, they were carefree.
But Liu Ziluan was ten years old, but he stayed in the cold deep palace, clinging to a cup of poisonous wine, and personally ended his life.
Only one sentence remains.
''May the next life not be born again in the emperor's house.'' ''
Liu Jun was ruthless, Liu Ziye was his eldest son, and he became a proton at a young age, sacrificing his ambition to fight for the world. However, after Ziye returned to the palace, he never gave the child the care that a father should give, causing Liu Ziye to eventually become cold and cruel.
Although his ten-year-old brother does not pose any threat to his throne, he still kills his brother because he refuses to let go of his old hatred.
Although Liu Ziluan was favored, no one had ever asked this little prince what he really longed for in his heart. When multiple official positions are awarded to this child, it means that his thin shoulders are under pressure that does not belong to his age.
The heavy responsibility forced his young heart to be tortured to the end, prematurely fading its childishness and leaving a single piece of vicissitudes
People just long for the scenery of being a prince and grandson, but they have never thought about the sorrow and sorrow behind the scenery. Liu Ziluan was crowned king and worshipped, and it seemed that the future was bright and immeasurable, but in the end it was only a tragic death.
Born in the imperial family, it is full of blood and rain, and the brothers and sisters fight, just to compete for the throne. For if you do not stand at the highest point of power, you can only be a lamb that can be slaughtered, which is the royal law of sad survival.
This is also why, in the end, Liu Ziluan had the desire to be a civilian cloth in the next life when he was dying.
Despite the loss of glory and wealth, although there is no power, there is no longer the so-called insincerity, the so-called deceit.
He can be an ordinary child, have an ordinary home, have real affection. In your spare time, you can also have a few friends as a companion, simply play, and enjoy the childhood that children should have. Finally, he grew up peacefully, according to his own wishes, free to contact the world, rather than being imprisoned in the court and not free, in a group of adults with their own ghost fetuses, a person full of loneliness and loneliness.
He could go and see the flowers that bloomed in the spring, the cool spring water in the summer, the maple leaves like fire in the autumn, the snow in the winter, and slowly passed through one year after another, until he gradually grew old and died.
Or this is the best ending that Liu Ziluan wants for his own life.
