Since ancient times, toku has been a sacred word. This is because tonalism represents a kind of trust, a kind of loyalty. Shang Tangtuo was isolated from Yi Yin, King Wu of Zhou was isolated from Duke Zhou, Emperor Wu of Han was lonely from Huo Guang, and Liu Bei was isolated from Zhuge Liang, all of which were called Kuang Shi Mei Tan in later generations.
However, not all orphans are successful. The entrustment of a generation of male lord Liu Yu can be described as an extreme failure. Not long after he took his breath, his eldest son Liu Yifu was jointly deposed and killed by four auxiliary ministers.
Liu Yu, nicknamed The Slave, is perhaps one of the most warlike emperors in China, and can be described as a veritable emperor of the ages. He fought all his life and never lost a battle. Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Shuyi once praised him: "Humane slaves once lived." Think of that year, Jinge iron horse, swallowed like a tiger. ”
Liu Yu was born in the grassroots and grew up in a chaotic world. Liu Yu lived in the era of the last period of Wuhu Chaohua. The land of the Central Plains has been ravaged by the Hu and Han warlords, and it can be said that the mountains and rivers are broken and the lives are ruined. The times create heroes, and Liu Yu came into being under this dangerous situation.
First, Liu Yu quelled the civil unrest and suppressed Sun Enlu's rebellion, and then he marched north, eliminating the rebel Huan Xuan and putting Emperor An of Jin back on the throne.
After that, Liu Yu spent only more than 10 years to sweep away Qunhao, successively destroyed Southern Yan, Later Qin, and Shu, and recovered Luoyang and Chang'an, only one step away from unifying China and expelling Hu Yu. Who knew that at the very moment when Liu Yu was preparing to attack Hexi Helian, Liu Yu's political partner Liu Muzhi died.
In order to prevent a fire in the backyard, Liu Yu was forced to return south, losing the best opportunity to unify the world. Eventually, Liu Yu deposed Emperor An of Jin and established himself as emperor for Emperor Wu of Song. Later, Liu Yu poisoned Emperor An of Jin and killed the previous monarch, making a very bad start.
When Liu Yu was proclaimed emperor, he was already over sixty years old. Just when Liu Yu was preparing for the Northern Expedition to Northern Wei, he could not afford to fall ill. It can only be said that his longevity and origin have constrained his achievements. From a small soldier to an emperor, Liu Yu really wasted too much time.
In 422, Liu Yu became seriously ill. Therefore, Liu Yu entrusted the matter and appointed The Taiwei Wang Daopi, Sikong Xu Xianzhi, Shangshu servant Fu Liang, the leading general Xie Han, and the general Tan Daoji as the ministers of Gu Ming. The so-called employment of people is not doubtful, and suspicious people are not used. However, Liu Yu did not do this.
In May of that year, Liu Yu was already terminally ill. So he called the crown prince Liu Yifu to him and admonished:
"Although Tan Daoji has a strategy, but has no far-reaching ambitions, it is not like brother Shao has a difficult temperament." Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang, when there is no different picture. Xie Obscure number from the conquest, quite aware of the change, if there are similarities, this person must also be. ”
In Liu Yu's eyes, Tan Daoji, Xu Xianzhi, and Fu Liang were no threat, except for Xie Qian's deceitful thoughts, and if anyone had different intentions, it must be him. Liu Yu's admonition made Liu Yifu suspicious of the four auxiliary ministers. As a result, Liu Yifu began to secretly cultivate his own forces and try to restrain the auxiliary chancellor.
On the other hand, the four assistant ministers also distrusted Liu Yifu. In their view, the crown prince likes to be with villains and is difficult to entrust to the world. Now that northern Wei is becoming more and more powerful, it is difficult to resist the invasion of the Hu people by making Liu Yifu emperor.
After Liu Yu's death, the conflict between Liu Yifu and the four auxiliary ministers became more and more intense, and he had begun to repeat the mistakes of Liu He and Huo Guang, the Marquis of Haixia. In this regard, Liu Yifu's close confidant Fan Tai was impatient, and he entered Liu Yifu's words, hoping that he would handle his relationship with the auxiliary ministers wisely. However, Liu Yifu was young and vigorous, and he turned a deaf ear.
In this way, the relationship between Liu Yifu and the four auxiliary ministers has become difficult to clean up. And Liu Yifu? Because he was too young and playful, he opened a market in the palace and played games with the eunuchs every day. When you are tired of playing, you will sleep directly in the dragon boat in the palace.
At the same time, Liu Yifu, who was good at riding and shooting, also trained soldiers in the palace. And all this made the four auxiliary ministers extremely afraid. In 424, the Liu Song Dynasty suffered a major defeat, and Luoyang was captured by northern Wei. Liu Yifu, on the other hand, was hesitant to enjoy himself and turned a deaf ear to the major affairs of the military state.
Therefore, the four auxiliary ministers decided to break with Liu Yifu completely, so they colluded and prepared to launch a coup d'état. In May, Tan Daoji entered the dynasty, and he had considerable prestige over the forbidden soldiers in the palace. Xie Han, on the other hand, secretly gathered his generals in the mansion and responded with Xing Antai and Pan Sheng, the people of Zhongshu She.
On the day of the coup, Liu Yifu was still sleeping soundly on the dragon ship as usual. Tan Daoji led the army and entered the palace. Under the guidance of Xing Antai and others, Tan Daoji was not blocked in any way. Arriving at the Dragon Ship, Liu Yifu discovered that Tan Daoji had launched a coup d'état. So he took a weapon and fought against the rebels.
In the end, Liu Yifu was outnumbered, cut off his fingers by the rebels, and lost his ability to resist. So Tan Daoji and the others took his seal and took it to the Tai Womb.
In the end, the four auxiliary ministers announced that Liu Yifu would be deposed and that Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, would be welcomed into the imperial palace to succeed him as Emperor Wen of Song. Liu Yifu was killed by Xing Antai. Liu Yu's bones were not cold, and Liu Yifu was killed at the age of 18. Liu Yu's orphan can be described as the most failed orphan in history.
"The adopted son of the ancient man, who can speak and teach words, and can perform the rituals of Fu Xiang." Song Zhi's teachings are different from Si, and in the center, he is a concubine, and outside is close to leaving. The prince, the prince, there are handsome, there are waiters, are two positions, all are Taiwan soap. To restrain his deeds, to teach him the law, to lead him to no, to be reckless, to speak is not as good as etiquette, not to know what is in the present and ancient times, and the scrupulous can persuade him to be miserly, and the foolish or to seduce him with fierceness. ”
Simply put, Liu Yu lacks systematic guidance for his son. Around the prince and the prince were a group of villains. There was a lack of education, and the Liu Song Dynasty had repeated coups and chaos.
In the author's opinion, Liu Yifu actually did not have any big mistakes, but he lacked experience and ability to deal with things, and he was not the opponent of those old foxes at all. If virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters. If he could cultivate obscurity like Emperor Xuan of Han did with Huo Guang, how could he be put to death?
