Since Qin Shi Huang, emperors have pursued immortality, although none of them can get immortality, but it does not affect the determination of emperors to pursue immortality, Li Yu is no exception, in his later years, he also began to take golden pills in pursuit of immortality. But taking too much Jindan medicine is easy to change temperament and short-tempered, causing some ministers to be scolded for no reason, but the ministers don't know why. Once Li Yu ate Jindan caused his body to feel uncomfortable, he kept coughing dry, and many doctors didn't know how to treat it. It was at this time that Queen Song Fujin discovered the secret of Li Yu's stealing of the golden pill, it turned out that Li Yu was afraid that people would know, and even the queen hid it. Li Yu did not stop taking Jindan medicine because of this illness, so his temper was still hot, and he often reprimanded the ministers around him, putting everyone in danger. At this time, Queen Song Fujin stood up to relieve the siege for the ministers, and helped the ministers say good things to play a round, so many ministers were spared punishment and sincerely grateful to the queen.

Because Li Jingyu was born after Zhong Shi became the emperor of Li Yu, Li Yu was old enough to have a son, so he doted on their mother and son very much, but he was very arrogant in the palace with Li Yu's favor. When Li Yu scolded people, his voice was like a tiger's roar, and even the temple door shook, so frightened that he seemed to lose his soul, but he still ate for a while, as if nothing had happened, Li Yu's anger disappeared when he saw her, which shows the depth of his love. But Li Yu's temper became more and more irritable because he continued to take Jindan medicine, and one day he happened to see King Jingda of Qi playing a musical instrument, so he was angry and scolded him, but at this time, he said in Li Yu's ear that Jing Yu's talent is better than Jingda, Li Yu immediately became angry and said: "The son has been taught by his father, don't you understand this simple truth?" You still say that. Li Yu imprisoned her in a fit of anger, and it was not until later that Li Jingdang Emperor released her.

Li Yu took the golden pill for a long time because he wanted to live forever, but not only did he not get his wish, but he caused great damage to his body. By February of the seventh year of Shengyuan (943 AD), Li Yu's body was already very sick, but the news was blocked, as long as a few people such as the imperial physician Wu Tingshao and the empress knew, even the crown prince Li Jing did not know. After another seven days, Li Yu was critically ill, and the imperial doctor was powerless, Li Yu said softly: "Pass the prince, pass the prince!" Empress Song asked the chief eunuch to invite the prince immediately. Li Yu looked at Empress Song affectionately, "Queen, there are many things I didn't expect, you have already thought of them, with you, I am much more relieved, I have to go first!" Empress Song looked at Li Yu affectionately, with tears in her eyes, and shouted sadly, "Your Majesty", what an not easy couple this is! Li Jing didn't know that Li Yu was critically ill until this time, and he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground, and the eunuch hurriedly pulled him to Li Yu's side in the Shengyuan Palace. Seeing Li Yu, who was critically ill, Li Jing took his hand and cried, "Father, father!" Li Yu opened his eyes with great effort, and said in a weak voice: "Emperor, you are cowardly by nature, you are ignorant and mighty, and you have no armor on your chest, listen, Dechang Palace has a total of seven million weapons and gold silks, which is enough for you to keep your business." You should remember that you should use your talents internally and make good friends with your neighbors to ensure the peace and tranquility of the community, and you must not use troops lightly. I want to prolong my life if I take Jindan, but I don't want to suffer from it, you have to take this as a warning and don't repeat the mistakes of the past. Li Jing nodded, while crying his father, at this time Li Yu has reached the end of his life, can no longer speak, his eyes are closed and there is still a faint breath, to the evening, Li Yu died, at the age of fifty-six, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a generation of legends came to an end. Li Yu is benevolent and frugal, with the style of an ancient sage, and praises for future generations.

Empress Song was heartbroken, as an empress, she lost the emperor, and as a woman, she lost the love of her beloved. But she endured her grief, because there were still state affairs that she needed to deal with, she discussed with Zhou Zong and others not to mourn, and the crown prince Li Jing immediately supervised the country and quickly stabilized the situation, until this moment, the ministers found that the skilled queen in front of them had extraordinary political talents. A few days later, a funeral was held for Li Yu, amnesty to the world, in March, Li Jing officially succeeded to the throne, became the second emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and chased Li Yu as the emperor of Guangwen Su Wu Xiaogao, the temple number Liezu, buried in Yongling.

The new emperor usually changes the yuan in the second year of succession, but Li Jing did not follow the usual path, and changed the yuan to Baoda in the year of succession, which may indicate that Li Jing will definitely take a different way of governing the country from his father. Li Jing added the title of 100 officials, reduced taxes, and honored Song Fujin as the queen mother. With Song Qiqiu as the Taibao and Zhongshu Order, Zhou Zong as the servant, soon dismissed as the envoy of the Zhennan Army, Xu Jue as the right prime minister of Situ, but only a false name, do not participate in the discussion of politics, Chang Mengxi, Feng Yansi for the Hanlin bachelor, and soon Chang Mengxi was demoted to the deputy envoy of the regiment because of Feng Yansi's slander. Feng Yanlu in the "Five Ghosts" is a member of the Zhongshu Society, Chen Jue is a privy envoy, Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui are privy deputy envoys, and Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui can play to Li Jing at any time without being summoned, and others do not have this right, which shows Li Jing's heavy use of them. Zhongshu Lang Sun Ji was worried that Feng Yansi and others were in control of the government, and wanted Song Fujin to listen to the government, Song Fujin said: "This is what Wu Zetian did, how can I do it?" I believe that my son can be a good emperor, and you must also believe in the emperor, and assist the emperor as you assisted the first emperor. So she handed over the power to Li Jing and fully supported her son, and Song Fujin's courage and courage can be seen.

Li Yu never dreamed that his son did not remember his dying instructions, nor did he keep the country he had worked so hard for. More than ten years later, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jing couldn't resist and was forced to go to the emperor's name, changed his name to the lord of the country, and used the Later Zhou "Xiande" year name, and the Southern Tang Dynasty officially became a subject country of the Later Zhou; More than ten years later, Zhao Kuangyin attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jinling City was broken, Li Yu surrendered, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

As the saying goes: orphans have destiny in their lives, and hardships and hardships are good. Forty years of enduring humiliation, changing the dynasty and opening a new chapter.

It is a good policy to stop fighting and being good neighbors, and the reputation of leniency and nurturing the people is passed on. Children and grandchildren do not inherit the emperor's will, and forty years later, it will be empty.
