As the saying goes: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread far and wide." "Since ancient times, those great emperors, in addition to the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, are still in people's memories, and others such as Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youfan, and Song Wu emperor Liu Yu are also excellent emperors, but not necessarily everyone can remember them.
In the era of peace, it is often the country and the people, so there are fewer things happening, and there are relatively few "shining points" in the history books. And those unreliable emperors can often "flow through the ages" and become the talk of later generations after tea and dinner. Since ancient times, there have been dirty Tang and chaotic Song dynasties, on the one hand, from the opening up of its social atmosphere, on the other hand, it is mainly the chaos of the royal family.
We are talking about another strange emperor today, Liu Jun, the Emperor Xiaowu of Song. Compared with the dirty Tang Dynasty and the chaotic Song Dynasty, the burial of The Liu Song Emperor in the Southern Dynasty was even worse. Liu Junben was the third son of Emperor Wen of Song, Liu Yilong, and the history books record that "Yuan Jia was born at midnight in August of the seventh year of Yuan Jia, and there was a light room." Less machiney, bright and cheerful, reading seven lines, talent is very beautiful, male and decisive love of martial arts, good at riding and shooting. ”
Liu Jun grew up with a golden spoon, and he was clever and clever, not only excellent at reading, but also good at riding and shooting, and his poetry was also passed down through the ages, so it seemed to look like a rich and handsome man. In 453, Liu Shao launched a coup d'état, killed his father Liu Yilong, and became the new emperor, Liu Shao seemed to set a bad example for the Southern Dynasty, most of the emperors after the Southern Dynasty died of death, and the royal battles were bloody and cruel.
Liu Jun, who had been commanding troops for a long time, heard the news and was also angry and rushed to the crown, so he sent troops to Jiankang. Liu Jun's military achievements were numerous, the army was strong, Liu Shao's troops were not opponents, and eventually Liu Shao was killed, and Liu Jun regained the throne. Liu Shao was unpopular with the people, and failure was inevitable, and after Liu Jun seized the throne, he was indeed remarkable in governing the country.
Liu Jun, who seems to be wise and divine, has the biggest weakness, that is, lust. With a knife on the head of the color, especially the emperor and general, it is easy to ruin the reputation when it comes to this problem. Liu Jun's mother's name was Lu Huinan, the name was very good, and the appearance was outstanding, and the historical records recorded that "Emperor Wen Lu Shuyuan, Zhen Huinan, Danyang Jiankang people also." He was elected to the harem by color, born to Emperor Xiaowu, and worshipped as Shuyuan. He is old, unfavored, and often follows his ancestors. ”
Because Liu Yilong does not like Lu Huinan, Lu Huinan often goes out with his son Liu Jun, and the relationship between mother and son can be said to be very good. After Liu Jun became emperor, Lu Huinan was made empress dowager and lived in the Xianyang Hall. Because Lu Huinan has been away with his son for a long time, no one has paid attention to it, and Lu Huinan's style is outstanding, it is said that the two have also had a bad thing.
Liu Jun was lustful, often in the palace with concubines, regardless of the venue, of course, no one would care about him, but Liu Jun often stayed in the empress palace, and came out very late. Although Lu Huinan is over forty years old, because of the good maintenance, he does not look old, and Liu Jun is the year of vigorous energy, so there are many scandals in the palace.
The history books say that "in the boudoir, the respect is very little, there is some royal luck, or stay in the empress's room, so the folk are noisy, salty and ugly." The palace is secretive, and it is impossible to distinguish it. "When Liu Jun was in the concubines, he was often in the empress dowager's palace, which was easy to make people suspicious, and there were many messages from the people. Shen Yue can only be said to be a secret matter in the palace in the history books, and it is really unclear.
People who want to write history books are reluctant to say more when they encounter this situation, because in ancient times, when feudal etiquette was strict, these things had great effect on royal dignity. For the matter of incest with his mother, Liu Jun still had some restraints, but he had no scruples about other concubines. Liu Jun had an uncle named Liu Yixuan, the sixth son of Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu.
When Liu Shao killed Liu Yilong, Liu Yixuan assisted Liu Jun in his crusade against Liu Shao, and after his success, Liu Yixuan was also made a high-ranking official such as the prime minister and the assassin of Xuzhou, and was a very popular subject. As a result, Liu Yixuan's life was equally extravagant, with his wives and concubines numbering in the thousands, all of which were more than the royal family, which showed how corrupt the officialdom had been at that time.
Liu Yixuan had many wives and natural children, and these concubines said that they had given birth to many daughters. In order to prevent the rebellion of the heavy subjects, when the general went out on the expedition, most of his family was in the capital, which was equivalent to a hostage. When Liu Jun heard that his uncle Liu Yixuan's children were all outstanding in appearance and the color of the country was heavenly, he moved his mind, his majesty the emperor, looking for a few women is not nothing.
What is fatal is that Liu Yixuan's daughter is Liu Jun's cousin, but the color heart together cannot be controlled, and Liu Jun forcibly takes Liu Yixuan's daughters into the harem despite the opposition of everyone. This emperor was also unprecedented, and every day Liu Jun mixed with these women in the harem, and he no longer cared about political affairs.
When Liu Yixuan learned that his daughter was insulted, he was also angry from the heart, so he raised an army to attack Liu Jun again, even if he thought that his strength was not good, he was quickly defeated, and finally died of depression. Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty was a great emperor, but his descendants were very indisputable, not only Liu Jun, but Liu Jun's son Liu Ziye was even worse. I think that if Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty knew about his descendants' behavior, he would definitely wake up from the coffin and die again.
