To say that the ancient people are too powerful, or their origin shows their extraordinary, maybe both of them, today to talk about a child, yes is a child, 8 years old in the eyes of our modern people is not a child? Everyone thinks about what we were doing at the age of 8, reading and playing, but this child has become a being above ten thousand people in the imperial court at the age of 8. He was crowned king at the age of 15 and ascended to the throne at the age of 21.
He was Liu Jun, the fifth emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, who became a chancellor at the age of 8 and was made the King of Wuling at the age of fifteen. The "History of the South" records Liu Jun: "Shao Jiying, the god is bright and hairy, the reading is seven lines, the talent is very beautiful, the male determination loves martial arts, and is good at riding and shooting." ''At the beginning of the wuling kingship, he was not favored, repeatedly went to the outer prefectures, successively led the army to fight against the Qunman of Yongzhou, participated in the Northern Expedition, and pacified the Yanjiang Man and the Xiyang Man, and repeatedly made meritorious achievements and was recommended by the generals.
In the twenty-second year of Yuan Jia, due to the death of Liu Dao, the barbarians in Yongzhou rebelled and rebelled, and In order to quell the rebellion of the barbarians in Yongzhou, Emperor Wen of Song transferred Liu Junwai to yongzhou as the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou Thorn History, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou Commandery, and the military and ningman lieutenants of the six counties of Xiangyang, Jinling, Nanyang, Shunyang, and Xinye in Jingzhou, the four prefectures of Yongliang, northern and southern Qin, held the posts of festival and general as usual. Liu Jun thus became the first member of the imperial family to leave the town of Xiangyang in a hundred years since the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After Liu Jun arrived in Jingyong Prefecture, with the assistance of Shen Qingzhi, Zhu Xiuzhi, Liu Yuanjing, Zong Wei and other generals, he vigorously recruited northern displaced people in Yongzhou to form a barbarian army, and later accepted Xue Andu, who returned to Liu Song with northern volunteers, and formed a powerful Jingyong army.
During his more than three years as the Assassin of Yongzhou, Liu Jun commanded Shen Qingzhi, Liu Yuanjing, Wang Xuanmo, Zhu Xiuzhi, Zong Wu and other generals, quelled the riots of the barbarian tribes in Yongzhou, such as Yidaoman, ZhushanMan, and YunshanMan, and captured nearly 100,000 barbarian populations before and after and incorporated them into the state household. At the same time, in the territory of Yongzhou, water conservancy was built, rested with the people, and Liu Xiuzhi was appointed to repair the Liumen Weir, which solved the problem of "the weir has been destroyed for a long time and the public and private industries have been abandoned" in the yongzhou territory, and Yongzhou has established a reputation in the yongzhou territory by harvesting abundant harvests year after year.
In the 27th year of Yuan Jia, after the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Eastern Road sent by Emperor Wen of Song was defeated by Northern Wei, the Wei army, under the command of Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei, Tuoba Tao, invaded the Song from the south, and the Wei army went south in four ways, and the soldiers pointed directly at Pengcheng, at that time, Emperor Wen's sons and Liu Song's clan were mostly afraid of the Wei people. Only Xu and Liu Jun, who were guarding Pengcheng, were determined to hold Pengcheng, and because Liu Jun's insistence on defending The Wei army was never able to conquer Pengcheng, so they turned to the south to attack, and finally because of Liu Jun's correct command, tens of thousands of rebels in the south were wiped out in less than two months. The safety hazards in the southern region have been completely calmed.
In the first month of the 30th year of Yuan Jia, the crown prince Liu Shao launched a rebellion to kill Emperor Wen and ascended the throne himself, while Liu Jun was ordered to be the general of Zhengnan and a general of the scattered horses, commanding an army in Wuzhou to conquer the rebellious Xiyang barbarians. Although Liu Shao said that he had already ascended the throne as emperor, his younger brother Liu Jun was a piece of his heart disease, afraid that he would avenge his father, so he asked his subordinate Shen Qingzhi to secretly kill Liu Jun, but unfortunately Shen Qingzhi did not kill Liu Jun, but instead gave Liu Jun a secret, and also suggested that Liu Jun go on a crusade against Liu Shao and proclaim himself emperor.
Soon after, Liu Jun raised an army from Jiangling and led an army to attack Liu Shao, because Liu Jun was guarding the town for many years, and his army also went through many battlefields to fight, and also won the support of various military towns. In contrast, Liu Shao's forbidden army was obviously much inferior, so it was quickly defeated by Liu Jun's army. In May, Liu Jun captured Jiankang, beheading the puppet emperor Liu Shao and his second brother Liu Jun. Liu Jun, the emperor, granted amnesty to the world, and he was only 21 years old at this time. With these achievements, it would have been passed down through the ages, but unfortunately, the old age was a bit too late. why?
During Liu Jun's reign, politically, he carried out a series of reform measures, weakened the power of the shi clan, vigorously promoted the Hanmen, and strengthened the control of the local and clan offices by changing the state towns and establishing the canon, further strengthening the centralization of power, and culturally, he revered the Buddha and restored the liturgical music. However, in the last year of his reign, Liu Song, who had built a large number of civil engineering, abused people's power, and was extravagant, causing the situation to improve in the early period of his reign, went into decline in the last year of his reign. At the same time, in order to consolidate the throne, he wantonly weakened the Liu Song clan and laid hidden dangers for the further infighting of the Liu Song clan for more than a decade after his death until its demise.
