The Southern Song Dynasty was established by emperor Liu Yu of the Jin Dynasty, and the Ninth Emperor ruled the Jiangnan region for a total of 59 years. Although the Song dynasty only existed for fifty-nine years, he was the largest country in the territory of the four small imperial courts of the Southern Dynasty Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen, and at the same time, the Song dynasty was also a strange dynasty of tyrants in Chinese history, among the nine emperors, only the Song Wu Emperor Liu Yu and the Song Wen Emperor Liu Yilong had remarkable points, and the rest of the emperors were all non-violent and adulterous, so the Shangnan Dynasty Song, like the dynasties with a short lifespan in history, could not escape the historical conclusion that "its rise was also booming, and its death was also abrupt".
Since Emperor Wen of Song's Liu Yilong was killed by the crown prince and Emperor Xiaowu's liu jun was established as emperor, through the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye, the Ming emperor Liu Yu, and the later deposed emperor Liu Yu, these emperors were all known for their sexual violence in later generations. What they are good at is cannibalism. Soon after Liu Jun ascended the throne, he was jealous of Tongzong, and since he killed Liu Yixuan, the king of Nan Commandery, he successively eliminated Liu Shuo the King of Nanping and Liu Hun the King of Wuchang, forcing liu Shi the King of Jinling and Liu Xiumao the King of Hailing. All the kings were killed except for the female dependents.
After Liu Jun's death, his son Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne and was known as the former deposed emperor. This is the product of his father Liu Jun's absurdity and fornication, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has taken pleasure in killing people, and although his ruling ability is far inferior to that of his father, his absurdity is far above his father. His mother, empress dowager, was sick and thought about him again, and this guy actually refused to visit his mother because of the ghosts in the patient's room, and his mother, who was angry, called for people to take knives one after another, wanting to cut open his stomach to see how he had given birth to such an unfilial thing.
After Empress Wang's death, Liu Ziye dreamed that his mother said that he was not filial piety and benevolence, that there was no one of the virtues of a king, that his father had no way, that he had destroyed flesh and bones, and that he had provoked anger and resentment, so the rest of the people were not worthy of being emperors, and after the emperor was returned to Emperor Wen, Liu Ziye began to be jealous of his uncles, especially Liu Yu, the king of Xiangdong. Because Liu Yu was obese, Liu Ziye ordered people to lock him in the forbidden place and ordered him to feed on the trough like a pig, calling him the "Pig King". Thanks to the wit and witty wisdom of Liu Xiufan, the king of Guiyang, Liu Ziye was dismissed several times with clever words, so Liu Yu was able to not die.
In order to survive, Liu Yu, the king of Xiangdong, joined forces with Liu Ziye's close associate Shou Shuzhi and others to kill this tyrant in the name of the wizard tricking Liu Ziye into shooting ghosts in the bamboo forest of Hualin Garden.
After killing Liu Ziye, the courtiers proclaimed Liu Yu as emperor and for Emperor Ming of Song. After Liu Yu succeeded to the throne, due to the years of civil strife experienced by the Liu Song regime, coupled with the southern invasion of Northern Wei, its territory and population were greatly reduced compared with the era of Liu Yu and Liu Yilong.
Empress Liu Yu not only did not learn the lessons of the reign of her brother and nephew, but was even more absurd and cruel, and she was also harsh and unscrupulous. Liu Xiufan, the king of Guiyang, and Liu Yu saved their lives several times, but Liu Yu still found a charge to kill him and his brother Liu Xiuyou, the prince of Baling, in the name of his cleverness and fear of endangering his descendants.
Because of excessive absurdity, Liu Yu prematurely lost his fertility, and his so-called sons were either the sons of kings or the sons of his concubines and ministers. All the sons killed their mothers and ordered other concubines to be raised in the palace, and the crown prince Liu Yu was the son of Liu Yu's noble concubine Chen Miaodeng and his favorite minister Li Dao'er.
In the first year of Taiyu (472 AD), the thirty-four-year-old Liu Yu died of absurd disease, and his son Liu Yu succeeded to the throne as the deposed emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Liu Yu was young but active and too fierce, and after Liu Yu was made crown prince in the second year of emperor Tai's reign (466 AD), his murderous nature was completely exposed.
Since Liu Yu took pleasure in the Eastern Palace, he often took pleasure in hand-bladed others, so no one in the Eastern Palace was unaccustomed to it, even if the little prince saw that he was unhappy and innocently lost his life, for this reason, Liu Yu's many admonitions were still ineffective.
Once such a person lost his restraint for the emperor, there was something under the heavens that he did not dare to do, so everyone in the palace was in danger.
This guy is a free man of behavior, he often mixes in the city with a few attendants in civilian clothes, but also carries a sharp weapon to kill people, and speaks to people, whether in the palace or in the city, as long as someone is slightly inferior, Liu Yu will kill people at will. Over time, as long as Liu Yu didn't kill people one day, his heart would be itchy.
One day he was wandering to a house, and when he heard the groaning of a woman in the house, he led someone into it. When he entered the house, he saw that the midwife was delivering the mother. When he arrived, the baby's head was already out of the birth canal, and Liu Yu, who was deeply amused, kicked the midwife away, and pulled the baby out with both hands, resulting in heavy bleeding and death of the mother. He threw the dirty baby to death, then stomped on the dead baby's head with his foot, and then laughed and flew away, screaming that he could deliver all the women in the world.
The old minister Xiao Daocheng had made outstanding contributions since the time of Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun, and the Ming Emperor Liu Yu also relied heavily on him after he succeeded to the throne. Xiao Daocheng repeatedly assisted the Second Emperor in quelling several rebellions, and Liu Yu entrusted him with a heavy responsibility before his death. Liu Yu was made empress dowager and appointed Xiao Dao as chancellor.
Of course, Liu Yu was very suspicious of such a heavy minister, and several times he found reasons to kill Xiao Daocheng, but xiao Daocheng hid from him. Liu Yu was not dead hearted, and once he led people to visit the Xiang Mansion. At that time, when Xiao Daocheng was taking a nap, Liu Yu saw that his navel was not ordinary people's big, and he felt that this was a natural good arrow target, so he asked people to pull up Xiao Daocheng, and without saying a word, he was about to shoot the bow, which frightened Xiao Daocheng and fell to his knees in a hurry to cry out that the old man was not guilty.
Thanks to Xiao Daocheng's bodyguard Wang Tian'en's impatience and wisdom, in the name of Xiao Daocheng's such a good arrow target, if he didn't shoot it at once, he wouldn't shoot next time, so Liu Yu replaced it with an arrow without an arrow, and Xiao Daocheng's old life was saved.
After this fright, Xiao Daocheng began to study the abolition of the establishment with the general Wang Jingze and others, and the nerd Yuan Yue believed that the emperor was young and cong would be able to change it in the future, so he did not approve of the abolition. Xiao Daocheng had to spend a lot of money through Wang Jingze to bribe Liu Yu's personal bodyguard Yang Yufu and others, so that they could find an opportunity to kill Liu Yu.
On the seventh day of July, he was very drunk, and before going to bed, he ordered Yang Yufu to tell him to watch the weaver girl cross the river in the courtyard, report it when he saw it, and kill him if he couldn't see it.
Yang Yufu felt that it was better to stand up and take risks than to die, so he joined forces with Yang Wannian, and the two of them took Liu Yu's sleep and cut off Liu Yu's head with a self-defense knife.
After receiving the confirmation, Xiao Daocheng immediately led troops into the palace, first killing all the guards around Liu Yu, including Yang Yufu, who had been evil for many years in the name of emperor, and then welcoming Liu Zhun, the prince of Ancheng, as emperor in the name of the empress.
Liu Zhun was the son of Liu Xiufan, the King of Guiyang, whose genes inherited his father's wit and mother's appearance, and he was one of Liu Yu's favorite princes during his lifetime.
However, this prince who was "born in the last days" was destined to pay for his absurd and cruel father and brother, no matter how clever and virtuous he was.
Two years later, Liu Zhun was deposed by Xiangguo and Qi, who had proclaimed him emperor. After Xiao Daocheng usurped the throne, he made Liu Zhun the King of Ruyin, but Xiao Daocheng did not intend to spare the thirteen-year-old boy, but ordered someone to find an excuse to kill him.
The most famous words that Liu Zhun left to his descendants were what he said after bidding farewell to the palace people, "I wish to be born in the next life, and never to give birth to the imperial family again!" ”
