Although the time of China's division is not much different from the time of unification, because the Qin Dynasty's idea of great unification has always been deeply rooted in the thoughts of every Han people, it has not become a confederation of many countries like Europe.

At that time, although the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already the scale of a great power, it was impossible to satisfy Liu Yu's ambitions, because only the unification of the Central Plains was the real power.

Liu Yu's Northern Expedition had twice, and it was also the most successful and far-reaching Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Liu Yu first annexed Nanyan and then eliminated Hou Qin to take back Guanzhong, and wanted to use Chang'an as a base, and then complete the hegemony of the Central Plains, but unfortunately his confidant Liu Muzhi's ascension to heaven led to the emptiness of the base camp capital, Liu Yu had to return to health, and the general he arranged was incompetent because of the eleven-year-old second son Liu Yizhen's incompetence, which led to infighting, and was finally occupied by the neighboring country Xia.

The dream of the reunification of the Central Plains was officially broken, in addition to the loss of troops, the main reason was that Liu Yu was already very old. It didn't take long for Liu Yu to usurp the Jin and Song Dynasty, and although the subsequent arrangements were cruel, they were all to reassure the successor, and the successor also created a rare prosperous era because Liu Yu left huge assets, and although the successor also made several Northern Expeditions, but because of Liu Yu's poor qualifications, it was just a void after all.

And Liu Yu's momentum of the Northern Expedition made many historical celebrities admire it very much, and he even wrote a poem to admire.

"Through the ages, heroes are nowhere to be found, and Sun Zhong is looking for a solution. The dance pavilion is always blown away by the rain and the wind. The grass and trees in the slanting sun, the ordinary alleys, and the humane slaves once lived. Thinking back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger. Yuan Jia was hastily, sealed the wolf Juxu, and won the Canghuang Beigu. Forty-three years, I still remember the beacon Yangzhou Road. can look back, under the Buddha shrine, a crow shrine drum. Who asks: Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"

After the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north, Fang and Liu Song formed a north-south confrontation, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty was born in the military, was resolute and frugal, said that the emperor still practiced frugality, and the political style was very good for a while.

But he doesn't seem to pay attention to the education of the royal family, so that he trusts people and causes great changes. He noticed that the power of the clan was high at that time, and the authority of the monarch had fallen, so he reused the Han clan to control the secrets in the government affairs, and entrusted the important military power to the clan and the royal family. The clan held the military power and political region, so it had the intention of usurping the throne, so there were many tragedies of cannibalism between the emperor and the clan.

After the death of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Shaodi of the Song Dynasty succeeded him, and was killed by the auxiliary ministers Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang and Xie Hui because of his playfulness and immorality, and renamed Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, for Emperor Wen of Song. Later, he and the famous general Tan Daoji of Beifu eradicated Xu Xianzhi and others who controlled the national government, so that the political situation was stable, and Emperor Wen of Song advocated frugality and clarified the rule of officials, and created the rule of Yuanjia.

Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty repeatedly went on northern expeditions, but due to insufficient preparation and Emperor Wen's erroneous command, the army was short of money and the national strength was greatly reduced. The famous general Tan Daoji was eliminated because of his military exploits and was suspicious of Emperor Wen of Song, which made Liu Song lose a general who could balance the Northern Wei Dynasty. When the Gai Wu Rebellion occurred in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liu Song failed to make a real Northern Expedition, and the Northern Wei Dynasty began to launch a number of southern expeditions when the fierce enemy was in decline, and the two sides fought back and forth in Huainan, and the Northern Wei army even approached the Yangtze River for a time, and Liu Song was unable to raise it again after that.

The Southern Dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, including the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, lasted for one hundred and sixty-nine years, among which there were twenty-four emperors. The benevolent Ming monarchs were rare, and most of the other emperors had one thing in common, that is, they had a brutal temperament, and their cruelty dwarfed even the tyrants in the Wuhu.

Take Liu Ziye, a little emperor in the Liu Song Dynasty, for example, this child succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen, don't look at his young age, the cruelty and ferocity are much better than the adult emperor, and it is far beyond people's imagination.

After Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne, he was suspicious, thinking that his uncle Liu Yigong would plot to seize his throne, so he personally led an army to kill Liu Yigong and his four sons. After killing, they were still angry, and they were dismembered, their internal organs were cut out, their eyes were gouged out, and then these fragmented organs were soaked in honey, and they were given the name of a small food, called Ghost Eye Zong.

In fact, Liu Ziye is not only worried about Liu Yigong, but he is not at ease with all his uncles. In this case, it is better to catch them all, Liu Ziye simply imprisoned all his uncles in the palace, and these people who were Liu Ziye's uncles fell into the frieze. They were not in the palace to recuperate, but to be beaten, Liu Ziye had no reason, he beat them as he wanted, and when the interest came, he used them as rags and dragged them around on the ground.

Among them, there are three uncles, Liu Yu, Liu Xiuren, and Liu Xiuyou, and these three have a common characteristic, that is, they are obese and bloated like a bucket. This can make Liu Ziye find fun, he ordered someone to make a big cage made of bamboo, put the three fat uncles in it, and gave them titles, named Liu Yu as the king of pigs, Liu Xiuren as the king of killing, and Liu Xiuyou as the king of thieves.

Liu Ziye, the king of pigs, is particularly important, and every time it is time to eat, he asks someone to take off Liu Yu's clothes and let him go to the wooden trough to eat naked like a pig.

There is no doubt that Liu Ziye is a standard madman, he tortured Liu Yu frantically, and when he was not interested, he planned to kill him. Before, there was an official's wife who was pregnant, and Liu Ziye had a whim, took the woman to the palace, and announced in public that if the woman gave birth to a boy, she would be crowned the prince.

This is a huge and absurd approach that makes people can't figure it out even if they knock out their heads. Before this matter was over, Liu Ziye was suddenly furious again, and asked someone to tie Liu Yu up, carry him to the kitchen, and say that he wanted to kill the pig. His other uncle, Liu Xiuren, had a cowardly temperament and had been flattering Liu Ziye, and when he saw that Liu Yu was in danger, he said to Liu Ziye with a smile: "The pig will not die today." ”

Liu Ziye was even more angry, and Liu Xiuren went on to explain: "The pig will not be killed until the birth of the prince, and the pig will die." ”

Hearing this, Liu Ziye turned his anger into joy, and then let Liu Yu go. Liu Ziye's tyranny is shocking, but his absurdity is even better, ranking first in the emperor rankings.

First of all, he said that he killed his brother-in-law, and then summoned his sister Liu Chuyu, the princess of Shanyin, into the palace and slept with her. Princess Sanyin and her younger brother are tired of playing, and they are not satisfied, saying that Your Majesty has countless six palaces, and there is only one concubine, which is too unfair, and please be sympathetic.

Liu Ziye felt that this was reasonable, so he found more than 30 noodles for Princess Sanyin for Princess Sanyin to take turns to amuse. In this way, Liu Ziye was idle, and he said to Princess Shanyin: "I have fulfilled your wish, but none of the beauties in the harem today are better than my sister, I want to exchange with you, but every time the seats are full." You'll have to find a replacement for me to have fun. ”

After Liu Yu's death, his son Liu Yu succeeded to the throne, Liu Yu was only ten years old this year, don't look at his young age, his cruelty is better than that of Liu Ziye, who was sixteen years old at the time.

Liu Yu is a very smart kid, he is ingenious, he can tailor clothes, and he knows how to play musical instruments, he can learn everything, but he can't be an emperor. He didn't like to stay in the palace, he liked to travel to the market and hang out with the pawn peddlers. Those people didn't know his identity either, and they would insult him when there was a dispute, Liu Yu thought it was very novel at first, but soon after, the cruel side of his heart was exposed.

He began to kill people, and he did it himself, which made him very happy, and for the leaders of the rebellion, he personally cut the heads, that is, slowly cut them one by one, and finally killed them. When he went out of the palace gate to the market again, he was not as casual as before, his entourage was armed with knives and guns, and everywhere he passed, all were under martial law, and those who had no time to escape, whether they were people or livestock, were all killed. As long as he appeared, the entire Jiankang capital city was as silent as a tomb.

In Liu Yu's eyes, human life is not even as good as grass mustard, and killing people is completely arbitrary, and the most wronged one is his cronie Sun Chao. On this day, Liu Yu smelled the pungent garlic smell in Sun Chao's mouth, in order to verify that Sun Chao had indeed eaten garlic, Liu Yu ordered the two of them to pull Sun Chao and cut Sun Chao's abdomen open with a knife, he just wanted to see if Sun Chao had garlic in his stomach.

Soon after Sun Chao's death, Liu Yu personally led people to the house of the minister Sun Bo to rob the gold and silver treasures. Sun Bo's family was dead, and when he saw the little emperor coming, he knew that he was going to suffer, so he rushed up and grabbed Liu Yu's ears and scolded: "You are worse than Ji and Xu, and you will not be able to escape the slaughter in the future." ”

Liu Yu hated Sun Bo to death, as a minister, he dared to pinch his ears as an emperor, and he must kill him with his own hands, so he was circumcised.

Since then, Liu Yu has been addicted to murder, and if he didn't kill anyone for a few days, he was like having depression, depressed. For this reason, the Queen Mother reprimanded and persuaded him many times, and he held a grudge and planned to let the Imperial Doctor cook poisonous wine and kill the Queen Mother. The cronies around him persuaded him that the Queen Mother is dead, and you have to carry out the funeral ceremony as a filial son, which is very annoying and tiring, so there is no time to go out to play, so Liu Yu dispelled the idea of poisoning his mother.

What's even more outrageous is that Liu Yu doesn't even let go of babies and pregnant women. When he led the soldiers to kill the minister, when he saw the baby in the arms of the minister's family, he took out the nail iron cone that he carried with him at any time, disemboweled the baby, took out the pink and smooth intestines, and chopped them into meat sauce.

Another time, in the Praetorian Guard's Leading Mansion, Xiao Daocheng, the general of the Central Guard, was taking a nap, and Liu Yu saw that he had a big belly, so he wanted to shoot with an arrow, which was very interesting. The entourage hurriedly dissuaded him, saying that it was interesting to have a big belly, but the emperor shot him to death with an arrow, and he would have nothing to play in the future. Liu Yu thought that the entourage was reasonable, so he changed to a grass arrow to shoot, and the arrow hit Xiao Daocheng's navel. Liu Yu clapped his hands and laughed. But how did he know, just because of this incident, he lost his life.

Xiao Daocheng held a grudge and was determined to get rid of Liu Yu. So a guard named Yang Yufu cut off Liu Yu's head while Liu Yu was sleeping, and the murder weapon he used was the saber that Liu Yu usually used to kill people. Yang Yufu carried Liu Yu's head and dedicated him to Xiao Daocheng.
