There are nearly 500 emperors in the history of the Chinese nation, and there are all kinds of strange emperors among them, some emperors have not been in court for decades, and some emperors pretend to be fools and pretend to be blind, which can be described as strange. And the emperor introduced by the editor today is Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He can be said to be the most chaotic emperor in history. Today, I'm going to tell you a story about it. The most unruly emperor had an affair with his biological mother, and forced his sister to give birth to 6 sons for him!
In fact, for the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, friends must be a little unfamiliar, this period is divided into the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties, the north is the Great Wei Dynasty with Mulan, and the south is the Song Dynasty. In order to distinguish the Song Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties from the Song Dynasty of the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, historians call this Song Dynasty Liu Song, because the emperor's surname is Liu (the emperors of the Southern Song and Northern Song Dynasty are all surnamed Zhao). When Emperor Liu Jun of the Song Dynasty first ascended the throne, he was also diligent and loved the people, and his political achievements were outstanding. He spared no effort to recover the territory militarily, and in many battles he would personally drive the expedition, which laid a solid foundation for the stability of the situation in Liu Song. But in the later part of Liu Jun's reign, he became unscrupulous, and he began to spend a lot of people's fat and ointment to build palaces and so on.
In addition to his mother, he is also very fond of his cousin Yin Shuyi, this concubine's surname is Liu, her father is Liu Yixuan, she has been very outstanding since she was a child, Liu Jun has long had a love for her, so when he has not become the emperor, the two secretly have a connection, but they did not have power at that time, so they can only have a quiet tryst.
In ancient times, close relatives got married, and it was only between cousins, and it was absolutely not allowed between cousins and sisters, and obviously they also had a sense of crisis. But he didn't care about it, and when he ascended the throne, he immediately wanted to include his cousin in the harem in the open and honest manner, and Liu Yixuan, as his father, was even more annoyed, and directly rebelled, and finally the old father failed.
Liu Jun still secretly took his cousin to the harem, called her Yin to the outside world, and named her Shuyi, and since then he has been favored by her. Yin Shuyi was also very competitive, and after being favored, she gave birth to 6 children one after another, 5 of which were sons
But people are not as good as heaven, and then his cousin died of illness, which made Emperor Liu Jun painful, and Liu Jun died a few years later. The new emperor was very angry at the domineering behavior of his cousin and her six children, so he found an excuse to kill all six children. As the lord of a country, Liu Jun ruled half of the country, but his life and private life are disagreeable. Not only did he have an affair with his mother, but he also forced his cousin to give birth to 6 children, an emperor like this is really rare in history.
