In May of this year, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu was very ill, he summoned the crown prince Liu Yifu to the front, and said sincerely: "Although Tan Daoji is very talented, he has no ambition, unlike his elder brother Tan Daoshao, there is a kind of rigid spirit that is difficult to control. Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang are unlikely to have other delusions. As for Xie Hui. He has followed me everywhere many times, and he has some ability, and if something really happens in the future, it must be on him. After instructing his son, he wrote an edict in his own hand: "If there is a young son of heaven in the future, all political affairs in the court and the central government will be entrusted to the prime minister, and there is no need for the queen mother to come out as regent." Sikong Xu Xianzhi, Zhongshu Ling Fu Liang, leading general Xie Hui, and Zhenbei general Tan Daoji all accepted the order. On May 22, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu died in the West Temple. When Liu Yu was alive, he was pure-hearted, frugal in life, very strict in all aspects of diet and daily life, dressed plainly, and rarely went out to play or hold grand banquets. He once liked the niece of Later Qin Gaozu very much, and he was very fond of her, so he delayed many national events. When Xie Hui persuaded her slightly, he immediately sent her out of the palace. Liu Yu's property is in the treasury, and there is no private collection in the palace. Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty was not satisfied with the excessive amount of labor spent on weaving this fine cloth, so he asked the officials in charge to impeach the local Taishou who had sent the muslin cloth, and sent the tribute back, and forbade the local production of this fabric. When her daughter got married, as a princess, the dowry was only 200,000, and there was no expensive dowry. Therefore, both inside and outside the palace, this is a warning, and no one is too wasteful.

Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu Heroic I, people mostly focus on his golden iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles of legendary history, but its frugal attitude to life, rigorous political style is not well known.
Liu Song's Lingnan Taishou tried his best to curry favor with Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, and organized the staff to carefully weave a light and soft fine fine cloth. Moreover, paying tribute to the Son of Heaven is a good way to express one's ideological consciousness and administrative talents. How could I expect that Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty would not eat this set? The horse slapped on the iron hoof, and played with a black yarn in vain. This gentleman was born at the wrong time, which is too unfortunate!
The misfortune of the traitor and villain is the great fortune of the people, according to which we can imagine the secular customs of the people in the early years. "Forbidden inside and outside, don't dare to be extravagant", it is not easy to do this step. It's a pity that Emperor Wu of Song was not able to educate his children well, and when he observed his subordinates, he had a keen eye, but when facing his son, he couldn't help but see flowers in a fog, and he was blinded by flesh and blood.

Queen Yingyang was rude, so she was good at playing with the left and right, and the game was excessive. Tejin Zhishi Fan Tai said: "When I heard that Your Majesty was in the back garden, I practiced martial arts, and the drums were in the palace, and I heard it outside. In the court, between the noisy provinces, it is not enough to threaten the four people, and only the monsters from far and near are born. His Majesty's practice and entrustment of the government and ministers are the same as the beauty of Gaozong's understanding of the dark, and he is more pro-villain, afraid of non-social and social schemes, and the way of the world. "Don't listen.

During the mourning period after the death of his father Liu Yu, Liu Yifu, the king of Yingyang, liked to behave frivolously with the attendants around him, and the trouble was simply unseemly. Fighting, chasing, killing, and killing in such a serious and dignified place as the forbidden palace not only cannot make people from outside the country submit, but makes people everywhere feel ridiculous. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has handed over all political affairs to the prime minister and ministers, making people feel like the Shang Zong of the ancient Shang Dynasty, with a calm and graceful demeanor. Unexpectedly, he got mixed up with those villains in the palace. I'm afraid this is not a good way to govern the country and stabilize society. Liu Yifu ignored Fan Tai's advice.
At that time, Sikong Xu Xianzhi and others were already secretly discussing and preparing to abolish the young emperor.
Xu Xianzhi and others invited him and Jiangzhou Assassin Wang Hong to join the dynasty because Nanxianzhou Assassin Shi Tan Daoji was the general of Emperor Liu Yushi of the Song Dynasty, who was very prestigious in the capital and had a strong military force. In May, both of them went to the capital city of Jiankang, and Xu Xianzhi and others told them about the plan to abolish the young emperor and set up a new emperor.
On the 24th, Xie Hui said that his army's mansion was a dilapidated house, so he moved his family to another residence, gathered a lot of troops in the mansion, and informed Xing Antai and Pan Sheng, the people of the Zhongshu Society, to prepare to deal with the situation in the official. That night, he invited Tan Daoji to live with him. Xie Hui was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, but Tan Dun fell asleep, and Xie Hui was greatly impressed.
In those days, the young emperor Liu Yifu opened a row of shops in the royal garden, and personally did business and play. Together with his entourage, he rowed for fun, sometimes it was dusk, and he was still in interest, and he also took a boat to enjoy the Tianyuan Pool, and even slept on the dragon boat in order to make it convenient.
In the early morning of the 25th, Tan Daoji led the troops to open the way, and Xu Xianzhi and others followed up and entered the official from Yunlongmen. Xing Antai and the others had already persuaded the Imperial Forest Army first, so no one came out to resist. Before the young emperor Liu Yifu got up, the soldiers rushed over and killed the two attendants first, and cut Liu Yifu's fingers, took him hostage from the East Pavilion, and confiscated the emperor's jade seal. When the ministers heard the news, they rushed to bow and say goodbye. Then the guards sent him back to the palace where he had been a prince.
In the middle of the road, Xu Xianzhi and other generals supported Liu Yigong, the brother of the young emperor Liu Yifu and the current assassin of Nanyu Prefecture, as the emperor. Xu Xianzhi and others thought that Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, had always had a high reputation and many auspicious signs, which was more appropriate. He claimed that he was ordered by the Empress Dowager to list Liu Yifu's various faults one by one, deposed him as the king of Yingyang, and succeeded to the throne by Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu. At the same time, a general amnesty was introduced for criminals below the death penalty level. and claimed that on the orders of the Empress Dowager, she took back Liu Yifu's imperial jade seal, degraded Liu Yifu's empress Sima Maoying as the concubine of Yingyang, and transferred Liu Yifu to Wu County. Guarded by Tan Dao Ji into the palace. Liu Yifu, who had been demoted to the king of Yingyang, was placed under house arrest in Jinchang Pavilion after arriving in Wu County. On June 24, Xu Xianzhi and others decided to send Xing Antai to kill him. Liu Yifu had a lot of strength, and rushed out of Changmen with all his might, and the pursuers threw him to the ground with a latch, and killed him.

Emperor Wu had the foresight and saw that Xie Hui might come out to make trouble, but his eyesight was still not enough, and he didn't see that Tan Daoji, Xu Xianzhi and others also had the courage to raise troops, let alone that the crown prince Liu Yifu was far from being able to take on the big responsibility. People are not as good as heaven, or are they confused by the authorities? Later readers are only afraid that the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise. But the old emperor said that there are a few people who can be relied on, which probably makes the prince too relaxed.
Since Liu Yifu is overwhelmed, why sigh. Jiangshan is still surnamed Liu, and the one in power is still his son, whether it is Liu Yilong, Liu Yigong, or even Liu Yizhen, it is better than this incompetent son of man who is in business.
Pei Zihu, a writer in the Southern Dynasties, thought that the fundamental reason for the lack of courage of the young emperors was the improper education of Emperor Wu. There is some truth to this. If there is a good heir, the country may not be able to pass it on: without a good heir, the country is destined to not be passed on. Liu Yu is a hero, but because he did not educate his son well, the hero's courage and heroic career settled with his own land, and the later heroes are worth pondering.
