Why were the two little emperors of Liu Song so brutal? This can be traced back to Liu Jun, the emperor of filial piety. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt that time, the brutality of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty had already begun, and they were so cruel to their own brothers, let alone killing others?

In the short ten years of his reign, Liu Jun successively killed his younger brother Liu Shuo, the king of Nanping, Liu Hun, the king of Wuchang, Liu Xiumao, the king of Hailing, and his son Liu Dan. Liu Dan served as the assassin of Southern Yanzhou, Xiaowu Emperor Liu Jun because he was suspicious of him, so he sent a large army to besiege Guangling, after breaking the city, Liu Jun ordered the slaughter of the city, the men who were more than five feet tall in the city, all beheaded, and the dead were as many as thousands. All the women in the city were given as military rewards to the generals who had slaughtered the city as slaves.

After the death of Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun, Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne, and the ugly drama of cannibalism continued to be staged. Before Liu Ziye died, he sent someone to take poison to kill his younger brother Liu Zixun, the king of Jiangzhou Assassin Shi Jin'an, Liu Zixun was only ten years old at the time. The military power of Jiangzhou was actually in the hands of Shi Deng Wan, the governor of Jiangzhou, Deng Wan raised troops to resist, and after Liu Ziye's death, Liu Yu ascended the throne as Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty. Deng Wan supported Liu Zixun as emperor in Xunyang, and Liu Zixun's two younger brothers, one was the Jingzhou Thorn Shi and the other was the membership Taishou, and they all responded with troops.

As a result, a large-scale civil war broke out between the kings of Emperor Wen led by Emperor Liu Yu of the Ming Dynasty and the kings of Emperor Xiaowu led by Liu Zixun, King of Jin'an. On the one hand, Emperor Ming sent his generals to the Jin Tomb, defeated the northbound army on the membership side, and finally marched into eastern Zhejiang, captured Liu Zifang, and ended the military operations in the eastern battlefield.

On the other hand, it was specially designed to deal with the military pressure in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the war was stalemate in the area of Quezhou. Because Zhang Xingshi, a general of the Ming Emperor, and others stole 300,000 grains and rice from Jiangzhou in Guikou, the Western Army 100,000 people collapsed without a fight. Emperor Ming soon captured Xunyang, killing the eleven-year-old Liu Zixun, and then Jiangling, killing the remaining twelve sons of Emperor Xiaowu.

In the process of cannibalism among the royal families of the Liu and Song dynasties, the town generals who participated in the civil war surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty one after another, giving the vast area north of Huaishui to the enemy country, Huaibei was lost, and Huainan became the front line. Under the circumstance that the beacon drums are connected with the war, the Huainan region of Huaihai is the only one that Tianfu has funded, and it has also made the people short of money.

When the Northern Wei Dynasty marched into Qing and Qi, they plundered all the people in the Qing and Qi areas as slaves and maids, and gave them to hundreds of officials, called Pingqi households. It can be seen that the civil war of the royal family suffered from the people of the Southern Dynasties.

Emperor Explain, he was persecuted by Liu Ziye and was almost killed, but when he was in power, he not only killed all the sons of Emperor Xiaowu, but also killed four of his only five younger brothers. After the death of Emperor Ming, his son Liu Yu succeeded to the throne, and Emperor Ming's only remaining younger brother, Jiangzhou Assassin Shi, King of Guiyang, Liu Xiufan, raised troops, led 20,000 people, 500 cavalry, and rushed down the capital Jiankang. Fortunately, Xiao Daocheng, the general of the right guard, commanded the city defense army, held Taicheng, and sent Huang Hui, Zhang Jing'er and others to surrender to Liu Xiufan, and took the opportunity to kill Liu Xiufan, so as to save the crisis.

Liu Jingsu, the king of Jianping, was the assassin of Southern Xuzhou, guarding the entrance of Beijing, seeing the chaos of the government and the fall of power, he wanted to raise troops to seize power, but unfortunately the army was defeated and died. In the tide of internal turmoil within the Liu Song royal family, power was concentrated in the hands of Xiao Daocheng, the middle-collar general.

How could the emperors of the Liu and Song dynasties not be brutal in this series of vicious circles? When they committed violence, there was hatred and childlike pranks.

Emperor Wen of Song was killed by the crown prince Shao, and the third son Liu Jun took the opportunity to lead the army to seize the throne, that is, Emperor Xiaowu of Song. He was absurd and brutal, forcibly held his niece, had two clan wars, and finally slaughtered Guangling City. At that time, the folk rumors said: "Looking at Jiankang City from afar, Xiaojiang is haunting against the current, and I saw my son kill my father, and then I saw my brother kill my brother." ”

His son, the former deposed emperor, succeeded to the establishment and killed the clan, and was later killed by Liu Yu, the king of Xiangdong, for Emperor Song Ming. However, he also killed the clan, causing the descendants of Emperor Xiaowu of Song to die. After his son, Emperor Hou of the Song Dynasty abolished the emperor, the political situation was turbulent, there were repeated rebellions, and the general Xiao Daocheng gradually grasped the military power. After the death of the abolished emperor, Xiao Daocheng supported Emperor Song Shun and monopolized the government. After eliminating political enemies Yuan Cang and Shen You, he usurped the throne, founded the country with the name of Great Qi, known as Emperor Gao of Qi in history, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished.

The Southern Qi dynasty was the shortest of the four dynasties, with only twenty-four years. Emperor Qi Gao belonged to the clan of the Xiao clan of Lanling, but his status was not high, so he was despised by the clan magnates. His political style is also like that of Liu Song in the early years, he was thrifty in government, and he died after reigning for four years, and was succeeded by the crown prince, that is, Emperor Wu of Qi. Emperor Wu of Qi was the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no war with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the people were safeguarded, and the history was known as the rule of Yongming.

After the death of Emperor Wu of Qi, he was succeeded by Xiao Zhaoye, the grandson of the emperor, and the state politics were gradually controlled by Xiao Luan, Xiao Luan intended to usurp the throne, and after killing Emperor Qi, he re-established his younger brother Xiao Zhaowen, and soon abolished the emperor and established himself as Emperor Qi Ming. After Emperor Qi Ming succeeded to the throne, he used the pawn to kill the kings of the clan, and the descendants of Emperor Gao and Emperor Wu were killed.

The Marquis of Qi Dong is Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of Qi in the Southern Dynasty, after the enthronement of the state government appointed to the eunuchs, killed the ministers, every time he traveled, expelled the residents, built the halls of Xianhua, immortals, and Yushou, and was extremely beautiful.

After the accession to the throne of Emperor Xiao Baojuan of Qi, Xiao Baojuan sometimes went out every day, sometimes every other day, and traveled everywhere. Wherever he is to pass, the inhabitants on both sides must be expelled, and all must be avoided, and those who violate the prohibition must be killed. Therefore, from Wanchun Gate to the suburbs, there are almost no people in the surrounding hundreds of miles.

Once when he arrived in Shen Gongcheng, there was a woman who was in labor and couldn't leave, Xiao Baojuan gave her a caesarean section to examine the fetus and identify men and women. Another time in Dinglin Temple, there was a monk who was sick and couldn't walk, hiding in the grass, but was discovered by Xiao Baojuan, he ordered the left and right guards to shoot arrows at the monk, and the monk was shot like a hedgehog. Xiao Baojuan also personally fired several arrows, and the arrows penetrated the monk's brain.

Xiao Baojuan set up 296 pheasant shooting fields, every time he went to shoot pheasants, he must first let the lieutenant beat the drum, as soon as the drum sounded, everyone in the service must run immediately, and the slower ones will be hit by arrows. He also likes to go out of the palace at night, the drums are beating, the firelight and candles are in the sky, the halberds are crossing, the people are noisy, the people are all shocked, crying all over the road, Xiao Bao is smug and smug. His arm strength is outstanding, he can hold a heavy bow of three and five buckets, and he can carry the white tiger on his teeth, which can reach seven feet and five feet high.

Yuchen Ru Fazhen, Mei Worm and others selected dozens of beauties for Xiao Baojuan and filled them into the harem. There is a woman named Pan Yuer, who was originally a woman in Fengyue and lived in the capital. She is bewitching, her body is graceful, like the clouds and mist after the rain, her waist is soft, like the willow belt before the wind, a pair of eyes are low and horizontal, two eyebrows and spring mountains are long paintings, the skin reflects the snow, and the black hair is like satin.

Xiao Baojuan got this woman, like a heavenly maiden descending to earth, never seen before, after a night of party, the five bodies were numb. All Pan Yuer's clothes, extremely selected treasures, no matter how valuable they are, as long as they can get Pan Yuer's favor, they will not hesitate to pay for hundreds of billions.

According to legend, Pan Yuer's amber chuan is worth 1.7 million. The utensils in Pan Yu'er's palace are all pure gold and silver, and the gold and silver stored in the inner treasury are not enough to use, so they buy from the people, and the gold and silver treasures are several times more expensive for a while.

Xiao Baojuan ordered the rent of wine in the capital to be converted into gold, and Pan Yuer also squandered it, not knowing how to save, today to ask for this treasure, tomorrow to ask for that treasure, the messengers on the post road are endless. Whenever Xiao Baojuan and Pan Yuer traveled, Xiao Baojuan asked her to go first in the car, and she stepped on a horse to follow behind, and was willing to be a slave.

Pan Yuer's father, Pan Baoqing, because Concubine Pan was favored, rewarded the mansion in the capital, and Xiao Baojuan called him his father-in-law. When he arrived at Pan Baoqing's house, Pan Yuer personally made soup for him and bowed down to draw water. Xiao Baojuan sat and drank with Pan Yuer, and Ru Fazhen, Mei Wormer and others attended in turn, regardless of men and women, and they were full of joy. There is also the eunuch Wang Baosun, who is only a teenager, he was born with beautiful eyebrows, like a virgin, Xiao Baojuan is a son, very favored, and Pan Yuer also looks at him differently.

Wang Baosun is small and delicate, and often sits on Pan Yuer's lap and drinks together. Often returned to the palace until late at night, Wang Baosun slept next to the imperial couch, so he was pampered and arrogant, and gradually intervened in political affairs. Even the forged edict to control the minister, the fortunate ministers of Mei Worm, Wang Yuzhi and others, also had a fear of him. Wang Baosun sometimes rode into the palace and shouted the name of the Son of Heaven, but Xiao Baojuan didn't care, and still stayed by his side sooner or later.

In the past, the ancestor Xiao Zhen built Xingguang Building, painted green paint on the upper floor, Xiao Baojuan ridiculed Emperor Wu for being too stupid, so he covered the glass upstairs, but when Xiao Baojuan and Pan Yuer went to the night tour, they had not returned to the palace, and the forbidden area in the palace caught fire, destroying more than 3,000 houses. Because the palace gate was closed at night, the people outside did not have an edict, and they did not dare to open the palace gate without authorization, and when Xiao Baojuan heard about the fire and galloped back, he hurriedly opened the door, and the palace had been burned, and the palace maids and eunuchs were burned to death, and Xiao Baojuan couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Baojuan was the second son of Emperor Xiao Luan of Qi Ming and the sixth emperor of Southern Qi. Xiao Baojuan's biological mother, Liu Huiduan, died at an early age and was raised by Concubine Pan. When he was younger, he didn't like to read, and he liked to catch mice for fun. He stuttered since he was a child, spoke little, was introverted, and only knew how to play all day long, often digging holes and catching mice with the guards in the East Palace, making all-nighters.

Xiao Luan didn't care much about him, but he was worried that he was not scheming enough and would not be able to control those uncles and brothers of the clan in the future. After Xiao Luan usurped the throne by conspiracy, he indiscriminately killed the descendants of Emperor Gao and Emperor Wu, and successively killed twelve princes to consolidate his throne.

When he was dying, Emperor Xiao Luan of Qi Ming said to the crown prince Xiao Baojuan: "Those who threaten the throne must be decisively killed." ”

The little emperor kept this in mind, and after ascending the throne, he used his own practical actions to carry forward his father's killing habit. After the death of Emperor Xiao Luan of Qi Ming, the crown prince Xiao Baojuan ascended the throne.

Xiao Bao went out to play, irregularly, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, and he didn't want to be seen, and whoever met him would be killed. Therefore, the local officials always paid attention, and whenever they saw him out of the palace, they immediately ran to call for the expulsion of the people, so that there were no pedestrians on the road, and the empty houses were stored.

Xiao Baojuan inherited his father's training, and after he ascended the throne, he killed the right servant of the minister of Gu Ming, Jiang You, Sikong Xu Xiaosi, the right general Xiao Tanzhi, and the leading general Liu Huo. Xiao Baojuan regarded the people as grass mustard, and also killed the ministers of civil and military affairs at every turn, and his cousins Jiang Qi and Jiang Yan had many good words and admonishments to him, and he held a grudge and killed the two. Sima Cao Hu, the town army, had a lot of wealth in his family, and Xiao Baojuan killed Cao Hu and swallowed his belongings.

Xiao Baojuan's crazy indiscriminate slashing and killing caused the panic of the ministers, and in order to protect themselves, they rebelled one after another. Chen Xianda, the commander of Qi, raised troops in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, and marched to Ma'anshan, Anhui; Cui Jinghui, a general in Pingxi, rebelled and joined forces with Xiao Baoxuan, the assassin of Xu and Yan'erzhou, to besiege Jiankang. Although Chen Xianda and Cui Jinghui were defeated and killed one after another, they caused shocks in the government and the opposition.

After Xiao Baojuan put down the rebellion, he became even more mediocre and brutal, and he played day and night with Pan Yu'er, eunuch Mei Worm'er and others. Because he was worried that the most powerful Shangshu servant in quelling the rebellion would shoot Xiao Yi and take away his throne, he sent someone to poison Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's younger brother Xiao Yan was furious, and Xiao Yan and Lu Shengzhen, the assassins of Yongzhou, led 10,000 people to raise troops in Xiangfan, Hubei, and supported Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, to proclaim himself emperor in Jiangling, and announced the abolition of Xiao Baojuan as the king of Fuling, and sent troops to attack Jiankang, the capital of Qi.

In the face of such a dangerous situation, Xiao Baojuan did not know that the end was coming, and he was still indulging in frolicking and playing. He practiced the military formation in front of the Huaguang Hall with his attendants and officials all day long, for fun, but he didn't pay attention to the soldiers and horses outside the city, and slept day and night, as usual. When he heard the sound of drums outside the city, he put on a big red robe and climbed to the roof of Jingyang Tower to watch the excitement, and the stray arrows almost shot him in the legs and feet.

In Xiao Baojuan's opinion, the rebellion of Chen Xianda and Cui Jinghui was quickly quelled, and Xiao Yan did not have to be afraid, so there was no need to worry about it. But after several battles, Xiao Yan was not only not eliminated, but became more and more courageous until the capital Jiankang was tightly surrounded.

Xiao Baojuan's close confidant, the eunuch Ru Fazhen, fearing that the soldiers would flee, knelt on the ground and begged Xiao Baojuan to reward the soldiers with treasures.

There were hundreds of processed timbers stored in the harem, and Ru Fazhen asked to use them as fortifications for the city, but Xiao Baojuan told him that this was the best timber reserved for the construction of the palace and should not be used lightly. So everyone was resentful and did not devote themselves to him, and the surrounding areas were entered, and the city was thinking of perishing as soon as possible, and no one dared to strike first.

The eunuchs Ru Fazhen and Mei Worm took the opportunity to slander Xiao Bao and said: "The ministers are not doing their best, so the siege of the rebels cannot be lifted, and a few of them should be killed to establish the monarchy." ”

Xiao Baojuan listened to their words and prepared to raise the butcher's knife to the ministers again. Xiao Baojuan's single-mindedness finally contributed to the alliance of internal and external opposition forces, hastening his demise.

Wang Zhenguo, who was in charge of guarding the capital, and his deputy Zhang Ji were the first to cause trouble, and they secretly sent people out of the city to get in touch with Xiao Yan outside the city and present him with a mirror. The implication is: the mirror can reflect things, and the sincerity can be seen like a mirror. After Xiao Yan accepted the mirror, he understood it and gave back a broken gold to Wang Zhenguo and others, which is a metaphor: the two of them are concentric, and their benefits are broken. In this way, the inside and outside of the city were united, and an alliance to overthrow Xiao Baojuan was formed.

At night, the inner line secretly opened the palace gate, and Wang Zhenguo and Zhang Ji led the soldiers and horses to suddenly attack the main hall. At this time, Xiao Baojuan was listening to the performance in the Hande Palace, and fell asleep in the lingering music. Suddenly heard that there were soldiers and horses coming, and hurriedly ran out of the north gate of the Hande Palace, trying to escape into the harem, but the back door had been closed and could not escape.

The eunuch Huang Taiping rushed forward and slashed Xiao Baojuan's knee with a knife, he fell to the ground, Zhang Qi rushed forward and cut off his head with a knife. After Zhang Ji arrived, he summoned Wang Liang, the right servant of Shangshu, to sit in front of the hall, and ordered the hundred officials to sign a note, wrap the head of Xiao Baojuan with yellow silk oil, and send someone to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was overjoyed when he learned that Xiao Baojuan was dead, so he asked people to enter the palace to check the treasury and books, arrested Ru Fazhen, Mei Wormer and others, and chased Xiao Baojuan as the Marquis of Dongduan with the order of the Empress Dowager Xuande. Xiao Yan was the middle secretary, the great Sima, and the secretary of the Lu Shangshu, and took charge of the power of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

In the following year, Xiao Yan usurped the throne, the country name was Daliang, known as Emperor Wu of Liang in history, and Xiao Qi perished.
