However, due to the lack of horses in the south, it was difficult for infantry to deal with the heavy cavalry of the Northern Wei, and the various armies soon returned home, and the Northern Wei took away Shandong and the Jianghuai River Valley, and thirty years of recuperation were destroyed, and Liu Song's national strength was greatly weakened!
In the later period of Liu Yilong's reign, because the crown prince Liu Shao, Liu Rui the Prince of Sixing, and princess Dongyang believed in the demon Dao Yan Daoyu, they secretly buried a jade man in front of the palace where Liu Yilong lived, which was used to curse Liu Yilong! As a result, Liu Yilong was furious and planned to abolish the crown prince, but he was hesitant to discuss the abolition of the prince with the chancellor in the palace all day, sometimes discussing an all-night discussion!
In order to keep the crown prince's seat, the crown prince Liu Shao launched a rebellion one night and led the prince's subordinates to occupy the palace. At that time, Liu Yilong was discussing with the minister about abolishing the prince, when he saw the rebels coming in, he raised the coffee table to block it, and all five fingers were cut off, and then he was killed by the rebels! Crown Prince Liu Shao inherited the throne!

Helan asked her son Tuoba Shao for help.
In order to save his mother, Tuoba Shao decided to launch a coup d'état to kill Tuoba Jue!

Emperor An Lushan of great Yan
An Lushan called the empress dowager, because of excessive obesity, blindness in both eyes, and a very short temper, he punished the ministers and eunuchs around him at every turn, and even beat them to death! Living in the palace again, all the big and small things were conveyed by Yan Zhuang, and the generals could hardly see him! The problem is that even if Yan Zhuang makes a small mistake, it is also a violent beating, which makes Yan Zhuang very faceless! In particular, the eunuch Li Pig'er was beaten the most and the hardest, and he was almost killed several times! Later, he thought of abolishing An Qingxu and replacing it with An Qing'en, the son of the Duan clan!

So Yan Zhuang persuaded An Qingxu to kill An Lushan to inherit the throne. Then he said to Li Pig'er: "You can't count the number of times you have been beaten before and after, if you can't do a big thing, sooner or later you will be killed and pulled down!" ”
Li Pig Er also agreed! That night, Yan Zhuang, An Qingxu, and Li Pig Er quietly came to the outside of An Lushan's palace, and Li Pig'er entered with a knife, slashed at An Lushan's stomach with a knife, directly killed him, and buried it under the bed in the palace! An Qingxu ascended the throne as the Emperor of Great Yan, and all matters were handled by Yan Zhuang!
Later Liang Taizu Zhu Quanzhong
Zhu Quanzhong, whose real name was Zhu Wen, was a general of Huang Chao, and later submitted to the imperial court, and was appointed as the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedushi for his meritorious efforts in suppressing Huang Chao, and after that, he worked hard with Xuanwu as a base and became the largest separatist force at the end of the Tang Dynasty! Later, at the invitation of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen went west to Chang'an, executed all the eunuchs, controlled the entire imperial court, and forced Tang Zhaozong to move east to Luoyang, further controlling the Tang Dynasty! Soon after, he killed Tang Zhaozong and established Emperor Tang!

In 912, Zhu Wen personally led an army to attack Li Cunxun, the king of Jin, not only did not win, but was counterattacked by Li Cunxun, and Zhu Wen, who was in his sixties, fell ill and said to the minister sadly: "I have been running the world for decades, and I did not expect the strength of taiyuan's remnants to be so strong!" My sons are not angry, I may be dying without a place to die! "After saying that, I cried sadly!
In order to preserve the world he painstakingly managed, Zhu Quanzhong was ready to pass his throne to his adopted son Zhu Youwen! Because Zhu Youwen was guarding outside, Zhu Wen gave The Jade Seal and other heirloom items to Zhu Youwen's wife Wang Shi and asked him to summon Zhu Youwen back! As a result, Zhu Youjue's wife, Zhang Shi, knew about it and immediately told Zhu Youjue!
Zhu Youjue was in charge of the palace guard work at that time, and perhaps Zhu Quanzhong sensed that Zhu Youjue might rebel, so he changed him to the History of Laizhou Assassins! Zhu Youjue believed that Zhu Quanzhong was planning to prepare for Zhu Youwen's succession to the throne, and if Zhu Youwen ascended the throne, he might be given death, so he found his old subordinate Han Xun, who was the head of the palace guard, and the two decided to start an incident immediately after discussion.
That night, Zhu Youjue and Han Xun led five hundred of his cronies into the palace, surrounded Zhu Quanzhong's palace, killed Zhu Quanzhong and buried him in the palace, and Zhu Youjue ascended the throne as emperor!
