Why did Liu Yu kill Emperor Gong of Jin
Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty was a great hero in the minds of many people, and he went from a commoner to an emperor, which of course shows that he was a very talented person. However, many people think that Liu Yu was a fierce person, he once strangled Sima Dezong, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and later told everyone that the emperor died suddenly.
Three years later, he killed Sima Dewen, the Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, all of which made posterity full of doubts about this emperor. So, why did Liu Yu kill Emperor Gong of Jin?
In fact, all this has to start from Liu Yu's birth, he was born in a civilian family, he can have such great achievements in the back, all of which he worked hard to come from. Liu Yu is a very talented person and a very ambitious person.
At that time, he had already controlled the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was not satisfied with this, and he hoped that he could truly ascend to the throne. Originally, Liu Yu planned to wait until after the death of Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty before letting the new emperor "take the initiative" to let Xian, but Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very strong, which made Liu Yu unable to wait any longer. Liu Yu killed Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ascended the throne.
Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty hated Liu Yu very much, but he also knew that his ability was no way to compete with Liu Yu, so he had always been very cautious, so that Liu Yu could not find a way to abolish the new emperor. Therefore, Liu Yu devised a murder case, which adopted a more cruel method to treat Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu finally ascended to the long-dreamed throne through various channels. But the way he obtained the throne has never been recognized by future generations, which is the black spot of his life.
How Liu Yu died
Liu Yu was born very poor, and once relied on selling shoes to make a living, but it was such an ordinary citizen who even ascended to the throne, but in less than three years after he ascended the throne, he lost his life. So, what exactly caused such a legendary figure to die? How did Liu Yu die?
In fact, Liu Yu did not die in the war, let alone in politics, and finally defeated Liu Yu was physical. Liu Yu's death was related to his health, and in 422 AD, his body began to feel unwell.
At that time, many famous doctors came to see this legendary figure who had just become emperor, but their medical skills could not save Liu Yu. In May of that year, Liu Yu left this world because he was seriously ill.
At that time, Liu Yu was already 60 years old, which was already a high life expectancy in ancient times. There is no special reason for Liu Yu's death, and there is nothing to question behind it, he died because of illness.
Shortly after Liu Yu's death, according to his will, with the assistance of a cadre of old ministers, the crown prince Liu Yifu ascended the throne, and the era belonging to Liu Yu has become history.
But even though his life has come to an end, his once legendary life is still remembered by many future generations. Many people have learned a lot from such a humble emperor.
