Liu Cong: reigned from 310 AD to 318 AD, also known as Zai, the character XuanMing, the fourth son of Liu Yuan, emperor of Han Guangwen, with a clever personality when he was young, and was violent in the later period.
After the death of his father Liu Yuan, Liu He took the throne, and he attacked and killed his brother Liu He and established himself as emperor.
During his 8-year reign, the reign was the heyday of the Han Dynasty, and the use of military force and the extensive construction of palaces provoked the revolt of the people of all ethnic groups.
He died of illness after nine years of reign and was buried in Xuanguang Mausoleum (present-day unknown). Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Liezong.
His father Liu Yuan died, and the crown prince Liu He took the throne, but Liu He was suspicious and jealous and had no kindness to everyone, and he was suspected of killing his brother, which caused disaster, and Liu He was killed in the west room of the Guangji Hall on the seventh day after he took the throne. Thereafter, Liu Cong took the throne.
According to historical records, Liu Cong was "knowledgeable in the history of the classics, good at belonging to the text", "weak crown you Jingshi, celebrities do not make friends", and he "bent three hundred pounds of bow", which can be said to be both literary and martial arts.
When Liu Cong's mother, Zhang Shi, was pregnant, she dreamed of a round of red sun in her arms at night, and when she woke up, she told Liu Yuan about it, and Liu Yuan warned Zhang That this was an auspicious omen and not to say it to the outside world.
Zhang Shi was fifteen months pregnant before he gave birth to Liu Cong.
On the night of Liu Cong's birth, a white light appeared in the home, and when he was born, he found that Liu Cong's left ear had a white hair more than two feet long.
Liu Cong was intelligent and studious since he was a child, and when he was 14 years old, he had already read the scriptures and history, synthesized the words of a hundred families to come to his own unique conclusions, and especially liked to recite the "Sun Wu Art of War".
In terms of calligraphy, his cursive and calligraphy are very well written; In terms of writing articles, he has written more than 100 poems and more than 50 praises, all of which are pearls of character and outstanding literary talent.
At the age of 15, Liu Cong began to learn the martial art of stabbing, his arms are as long as ape arms, and he is good at archery, and can bend a bow of three hundred pounds, which can be said to be the best.
When Wang Hun of Taiyuan saw Liu Cong, he was shocked and said to Liu Yuan, "I can't predict the future of your child."
Before he ascended the throne, he had been helping his father Liu Yuan fight on the battlefield. But once it reaches the peak of power, its human inferiority is exposed.
Soon after Emperor Zhaowu's reign, Liu Cong made his wife Hu Yanshi empress, but he let his wife not love, but he was obsessed with his father's concubine.
Liu Cong had been fascinated by the beauty of Shan Hou before, but at that time, Liu Yuan did not dare to act rashly, and at this time, he had no scruples when he became emperor.
After seeing Liu Congyi Rong Xiuwei, he had long been in love.
The two were of the same age, one was lonely in the spring, and the other was burning with desire, so they fornicated night and night.
Within a few days, the court knew about it, and it was a joke for a while.
Liu Yi, the son of Empress Shan, was in a youthful mood and could not listen to the sneers and sneers of others, and repeatedly advised her gently when she visited Shan Hou in the palace.
After listening to it, he hated and felt ashamed, depressed in his heart, bedridden, and died less than a year later.
Shan Hou's death made Liu Cong mourn, and soon heard the palace people say that the cause of Shan Hou's illness was caused by Liu Yi's advice, and he hated Liu Yi very much in his heart.
Just remembering the affection of Shan Hou before his death, he couldn't bear to do something to Liu Yi.
Since Shan Hou's death, Liu Cong also selected many beautiful women to fill the harem, appointing the daughter of Sikong Wang Yu as Zuo Zhaoyi, the daughter of Shang ShuLing Ren As Right Zhaoyi, the daughter of the great general Wang Zhang, the daughter of Zhongshu Supervisor Fan Long, and the daughter of Zuo Shu Shooting Ma Jing as nobles, and the daughter of the right servant Zhu Ji as a noble concubine, all of whom wore gold seals and purple silks to enter the palace in turn.
Liu Cong heard that the two daughters and four granddaughters of The Taibao Liu Yin's family were all tianzi and national colors, so he wanted to marry into the palace without distinction between respect and inferiority, and take them as concubines.
His younger brother Liu Yi persuaded him that he could not marry with the same surname, and Liu Cong asked Liu Yannian and Liu Jing, the two of them, who catered to Liu Cong, saying: "Taibao Liu Yin said that his ancestor was Liu Kanggong of the Zhou Dynasty, and although he had the same surname as His Majesty, his ancestors were different, so of course he could marry as a concubine."
Liu Cong was very happy, and immediately summoned Liu Yin's two daughters and four granddaughters into the palace, and crowned the second daughter as a concubine and the fourth granddaughter as a nobleman.
Liu Cong spends spring supper with six beautiful women every day, where is there time to deal with political affairs?
He lived in seclusion in the harem, and the music of the courtiers was taken in by the Middle Yellow Gate and judged by the two noble concubines on the left and right.
Liu Cong named one of the two noble concubines Liu Ying and the other Liu E, implying that Yao's two daughters, Emperor E and Lady Ying, were alluded to.
In ancient times, Emperor E and Lady Ying married Shun, which meant that Liu Cong was a Ming Emperor like Yao Shun in ancient times.
Liu Cong had to prepare delicacies every time he dined, and the residence was luxuriously decorated. Zuo Dushui's emissary Liu Yu once sent fish and crabs late and was beheaded in Dongshi.
Liu Cong likes to go out hunting, going out in the morning and returning at night, and when he returns, he lights thousands of candles to continue the joy of the day.
Liu Cong wanted to make Liu Ying an empress, and his mother, Zhang Shi, suspected that Liu Ying was the second concubine, and did not allow him to succeed Liu Ying, and sent his brother's two daughters, Hui Guang and Li Guang, into the palace, and let Liu Cong choose one to be empress.
Liu Cong had to choose Hui Guang. Just when Liu Ying's father Liu Yin fell ill and died, Liu Ying died of depression because he did not become empress, coupled with the death of his father.
Liu Cong was arrogant and desolate, and there was no discipline inside and outside the imperial court.
Liu Cong's mother did not eat for three days because Liu Cong was too angry. Liu Cong's second son, the general Liu Shi, repeatedly cried and advised, and Liu Cong was furious and said, "Do you want me to die?" Born to cry day and night!"
Liu Shiji died of illness.
A few months later, Liu Cong's mother Zhang Shi died, and Empress Huiguang was the only aunt in the palace who hurt her, so she cried so much that she cried and died soon after.
Liu Cong saw that his mother had died and no one cared about him anymore, so he crowned Liu Ying's sister Liu E as empress. Fortunately, Liu E was soft-hearted, and often advised Liu Cong, who was absurd and easy to kill, and saved the lives of many innocent people.
In the first month of the fourth year of Jiaping, three suns appeared in the sky from west to east, an earthquake occurred in the Binh Duong area, chongmingguan fell into a pool, the water inside was as red as blood, and someone saw a red dragon flying up from the water.
A meteor broke into the Ziwei Wall, shaped like a dragon, and finally landed ten miles north of Pingyang, landing on the ground and growing thirty steps, twenty-seven steps wide, a piece of flesh, the smell filled the entire Pingyang City, and there were often cries of day and night next to the meat.
Liu Cong summoned the secretary of state to discuss the fierce ji, and some ministers said that it was the reason for the excessive favor in the back court. Liu Cong shook his head and said, "The sky is fickle, what does it have to do with personnel?"
At this time, Empress Liu became pregnant and gave birth to a freak in human form, and Empress Liu also died of dystocia. Liu Cong was very fond of Liu Hou, and inevitably he was overly sad, and he made the funeral ceremony extraordinarily solemn.
One day he went to the home of Jin Zhun, the protector of the Army, to drink and reminisce, and saw Jin Zhun's two daughters, both of whom were the beauties of the sinking fish and falling geese, called Jin Yueguang and Jin Yuehua respectively, and Liu Cong couldn't help but lose two of his three souls.
Jin Zhun had long intended to use his two daughters to seek high-ranking officials, and this beauty plan had been raised for a long time. At the moment, Jin Zhun dedicated his two daughters to Liu Cong. Liu Cong carried the second daughter into the palace that night, and the happiness of the clouds and rain in Wushan did not need to be elaborated.
The next day, Liu Cong made his second daughter a noble concubine. Jin Yueguang was particularly soul-destroying, and after more than ten days, Liu Cong crowned her as empress.
Since the favor of Jin Yueguang, the two Concubines of Liu Gui were snubbed, and Liu Cong, in order to comfort them, was crowned as The Left Empress and the Right Empress respectively, and the plus Empress Jin Yueguang was made the Upper Empress.
All of a sudden, Liu Cong had three empresses, which was really unprecedented. The imperial court's program often remained categorically absent.
Lieutenant Chen Yuanda advised him that the establishment of the three empresses together would have serious troubles in the future, and asked him to take back his life. Liu Cong refused to listen, demoted Chen Yuanda to the rank of Right Guanglu Doctor, and seized Chen Yuanda's military power.
Liu Cong's body could not satisfy so many concubines in the harem, and Jin Yueguang still stayed alone in the empty bed, so it was inevitable to find a few beautiful teenagers to enter the palace to pass the loneliness.
Unexpectedly, this matter was clearly heard by Chen Yuanda, who was specifically unable to live with Liu Congji's concubine, and he collected a lot of evidence about Jin Yueguang's secret affairs and wrote it down and handed it to Liu Cong.
Liu Cong saw that it was Jin Yueguang's adulterous affair, and the evidence was overwhelming, and he couldn't help but be angry, so he immediately ran to the palace of empress Shang to scold Jin Yueguang and threw Chen Yuanda's fold on Jin Yueguang's face for her to see for herself.
Jin Yueguang carefully watched the recital and did not dare to distinguish, so he had to kneel on the ground and cry, begging Liu Cong to forgive her. Liu Cong whisked his sleeves away in anger, and the next day the attendant came to report that Liu Cong said that Jin Yueguang had committed suicide by taking poison.
Liu Cong was originally angry for a moment, and hurried to see it, only to see That Jin Yueguang's face was miserable, and he cried loudly while holding the corpse, before causing the internal servant to be buried.
From then on, Chen Yuanda was blamed for Jin Yueguang's death, and no matter what rules he had, Liu Cong ignored it.
He ordered his son Liu Cang to be the chancellor, and all state affairs made Liu Cang decide that he would indulge in sexual pleasures in the harem every day and not ask about the government.
