In 433 AD, Xie Lingyun, a generation of "death kings", ended his arrogant and unruly life

Xie Lingyun, formerly known as Gongyi, was born in the Xie clan of Chen County, and was a poet, Buddhist scholar, and traveler during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

At the age of eighteen, Xie Lingyun inherited his grandfather's title and was given the title of Duke of Kangle. After Liu Song's Jin Dynasty, he was demoted to the title of Marquis of Kangle.

When the duke became a marquis, he was naturally very dissatisfied.

So Xie Lingyun began his crazy death career!

Xie Lingyun was extreme in nature and often violated the orders of etiquette.

The imperial court only regarded him as a somewhat talented literati, while he himself thought that he had a level of participation in the country's major politics, but he was not appreciated and reused, often indignant, provoking dissension, and slandering those in power.

Because the Jin Dynasty did not have a complete history book, Emperor Wen of Song asked Xie Lingyun to write the History of Jin.

As a result, for two years, Xie Lingyun did not even finish the outline, and Emperor Wen of Song was very angry, but because of his talent, he pardoned him.

But he did not appreciate it, and Emperor Wen of Song summoned him repeatedly, but Xie Lingyun did not even pay attention to him, and Emperor Wen of Song demoted him to Yongjia Taishou in a fit of anger.

After Xie Lingyun arrived in office, he ignored political affairs and went sightseeing every day!

Later, as a waiter, Xie Lingyun often said that he was ill and did not go to the court, but only built ponds, planted flowers and trees, transplanted bamboo, fiddled with herbs, and endlessly let the laborers in the yamen serve him personally.

Out of the city to play, sometimes a day to walk one hundred and sixty or seventy miles, often a walk is more than ten days, neither go to the book to ask for instructions, nor ask for leave.

The most excessive one, there was no news, two years did not return!

The imperial court thought that he had made a mistake, and told the world that he had died, and less than half a year after he was treated for his funeral, he actually came back on his own horse!

This embarrassed Emperor Wen of Song and relegated him to Linchuan Neishi.

After Xie Lingyun arrived in Linchuan to take office, he was still the same as when he was in Office of Yongjia Taishou, so he was impeached again by the relevant personnel.

Situ sent Zheng Wangsheng, the king of Linchuan, to arrest Xie Lingyun, but Xie Lingyun instead captured Zheng Wangsheng and detained the emperor's emissaries, actually rebelled and fled, and wrote a poem to mock Emperor Wen of Song!

Emperor Wen of Song was furious and sent troops to requisition.

Xie Lingyun could write poetry, but it was really impossible to fight, and he was quickly defeated and arrested.

Originally, he should be killed according to the crime, but Emperor Wen of Song remembered that his grandfather Xie Xuan had contributed to the country, forgave Xie Lingyun, and avoided death and charged the army in Guangzhou.

Xie Lingyun committed the felony of treason, but he was spared the death penalty, and he should have thanked the emperor for his grace, but he wanted to pay for hiring people to rob the prison, let people buy bows, arrows, guns, shields and other weapons to rob himself at the mouth of the Three Rivers!

These people are opponents of the regular army.

So it failed again, which completely angered Emperor Wen of Song, and issued an edict to put him in Guangzhou to correct the law.

Yuan Jia was killed by Emperor Wen of Song Liu Yilong in 433 on charges of "rebellion", at the age of forty-nine.

In this way, Xie Lingyun, the Great King of Death, ended his arrogant and unruly life!
