Review
Emperor was the title of the supreme ruler of the country during the feudal period of China, and these two words basically mean a lifetime of gold and jade food and supreme power.
Generally speaking, only people with talent and morality and wisdom can become emperors, so as to ensure the development of society, but in the more than two thousand years of feudal history, naturally there have been many evil deeds that have misled the country and the people.
Today we are going to talk about this emperor who summoned his aunt in the middle of the night, which made his uncle furious: I swore to kill Ru. What's going on here?
Faint little emperor
This emperor, named Liu Ziye, was the sixth emperor of the Liu Song dynasty and a famous tyrant during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When Liu Ziye was young, because of his extreme personality, he was often reprimanded by his father Emperor Xiaowu, but this kind of reprimand was obviously useless, and Liu Ziye's radical and violent personality became more and more intense, and the whole person became more and more distorted.
When Liu Ziye reached the age of 15, Emperor Xiaowu died. In this way, Liu Ziye became the supreme ruler of the Liu Song regime with an immature mental stage.
After he ascended the throne, he was so uncomfortable that there seemed to be no one in the world who could control him. Liu Ziye fainted to the point that when his mother was seriously ill and dying, Liu Ziye said, "There are many ghosts among patients." Stunned, he did not go to see his mother for the last time, only to eat, drink and have fun, and the angry empress dowager wanted the attendant to open his stomach to see why he would give birth to such a son.
After the death of the empress dowager, Liu Ziye was even more unrestrained without the last heavy discipline, and it was said that Liu Ziye was cruel and ruthless, murderous, and only cared about playing with women all day long.
He often ordered the palace ladies to chase and fight each other naked, and if some people did not comply, they would kill each other. He also gathered the concubines and princesses together and forced his right and left attendants to bully them, and if they did not comply, they would be flogged and punished, and in serious cases, they would lose their lives.
Liu Ziye was also suspicious of Cheng, believing that his uncles were all threats to the throne. So he imprisoned them all, abused them all day, ate pig food for his relatives, drank chaff and beat and bullied his uncle and brother in prison when he was slightly unhappy.
The scum of the aunt
As mentioned earlier, Liu Ziye was absurd, and he also did a dishonorable thing that violated human morality, it turned out that Liu Ziye had an aunt named Liu Yingmei, who was a great beauty, and Liu Ziye had thoughts about her when he was a child, but he was only a prince at that time.
Now, as an emperor, Liu Ziye naturally wanted to do something, so late one night, he used his imperial power to summon Liu Yingmei to the palace.
Liu Yingmei originally thought that the emperor summoned her in the middle of the night to have an emergency, but she did not expect to be taken advantage of by Liu Ziye when she arrived at the palace, Liu Yingmei knew what was going on, but she did everything in Liu Ziye's eyes just to try to get away with it, just to make him more excited.
So Liu Ziye told her that if Liu Yingmei really swore to die, then her family outside the country would lose their lives. Under this threat, Liu Yingmei really had no other way but to compromise, so she was forcibly occupied by Liu Ziye and stayed in the harem.
However, leaving his aunt in the palace did not affect well after all, in order to be justified, Liu Ziye killed a palace girl posing as an aunt, sent the body to the home of his uncle He Mai, and announced to the outside world that Liu Yingmei died in the palace last night, and now he has sent the corpse back to the horse family, and Haosheng buried the corpse.
He Mai couldn't figure out why his wife had been fine the night before, but now she was a cold corpse. The moment he heard the news, he became suspicious.
Finally saw the body that was sent back, but after lifting the white cloth, he found that it was not his wife Liu Yingmei, he immediately understood Liu Ziye's animal behavior, as a man He Mai could not bear this humiliation, he vowed to kill Liu Ziye with his own hands.
It is said that although this Liu Ziye is cruel and ruthless, he is not a fool, his natural way He Mai will certainly not let go of himself easily, He Mai is born with a bold nature in his daily life, his friends are all over the world, and there are many dead soldiers who can be used for him. Such a person, Liu Ziye, actually did not want to stay for a long time, so he personally led his troops to kill He Mai before he mai found trouble for himself.
The end of Liu Ziye
Liu Ziye reigned for only two years, the world was already in chaos, and his tyrannical behavior was also disgusted by the world. As the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people grew, the plan to overthrow Liu Ziye gradually took shape.
Liu Ziye was still tyrannical in the last stage of his life, constantly killing people, and extending the butcher knife to his uncle, unconsciously speeding up the pace of his own demise.
Liu Ziye had an uncle named Liu Yu, a man of courage, who secretly united many of his cronies and prepared to assassinate Liu Ziye directly.
One night in 466 AD, Liu Ziye was tricked by liu Yu's good wizard into the Bamboo Hall of Hualin Garden, where Liu Yu's men and horses had already been ambushed, how could Liu Ziye, who came alone, escape from heaven, and in a few moments, this famous tyrant in history was killed at the age of seventeen.
Liu Yu became the new emperor and began to clean up the mess left by his nephew, and the history of Liu Song finally went back to normal after Two years of Liu Ziye's absurd reign.
epilogue
Liu Ziye's life can actually be summed up in a sentence of "if he does not die, he will not die", even if he can do less absurd things, not so bloodthirsty and cruel, and not leave human ethics behind, he will not be assassinated at the age of seventeen.
Such fainting emperors as he are not a minority in history. When people have power, they can easily lose their rationality. Power is a double-edged sword, and it can benefit those around you when it is used well; and once you lose yourself in power, it must be going to an extreme, and you will eventually be sanctioned.
History is a mirror, through it, we can learn some things, but also can learn from history, learn from the lessons left by predecessors, only by doing so can we truly understand history, use history, and let history help us grow.
