In ancient history, the end of the deceased king was also relatively bleak, and even if he could escape it, he would often suffer endless humiliation. As for Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Cao Huan of Wei Yuan, the monarchs of the dead country who received favorable treatment, they are even rarer. As far as the author wants to talk about today during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were a total of 9 kings who died in the country, and as a result, 8 people were killed, and only one died well!

In other words, Xiao Daocheng was just waiting for an opportunity to replace the Southern Song Dynasty. In the third year of Shengming (479), Liu Zhun was forced to Zen in Xiao Daocheng.

In September of the same year, Chen Ba attacked and killed Wang Shengbian, deposed Xiao Yuanming, and established Xiao Fangzhi as the emperor, with the year name Shaotai.

Yuan Xiu first left Gao Yang, and then broke with Yuwentai. After offending the two powerful ministers, Yuan Xiu naturally would not have a good end.

To sum up, among the nine fallen kings of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, only Chen Shubao was lucky enough to get a good ending. The reason for this is that Chen Shubao was addicted to alcohol and did not pose a threat to the Sui Dynasty, and his sister married Yang Jian, which prompted the latter not to kill him as customary.
