Young and vigorous Hidden Emperor Liu Chengyou
Yoo Seung-woo officially stepped onto the stage of history, although his father still left him a mess.
However, his father also left him a cadre of capable ministers, and if he could make good use of it, he would definitely be able to make a difference.
Let's talk about Liu Chengyou first, how should we evaluate him.
Some people will ask, why do you have to judge this person when he comes to power, in fact, it's not that I want to judge him, the main reason is that his father, mother, and brother are too capable, so capable that although Liu Chengyou was not born with a golden spoon, it is almost the same.
Liu Chengyou was born in 930 AD, and Liu Zhiyuan at this time was already in an important position in the Later Tang Dynasty, and his family situation at this time must have been much stronger than when his eldest brother Liu Chengxun was born.
's mother is smart and beautiful, and his eldest brother is virtuous and virtuous, it can be said that Liu Chengyou has lived under their halo since he was a child, and he has been imperceptibly educated by them, and Liu Chengyou's talent since he was a child is also very extraordinary.
Although he is not as valued as his eldest brother, Liu Zhiyuan still did not snub this second son, of course, Liu Chengyou added several younger brothers one after another, but his status in the family has not changed at all.
In the sixth year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty (941 AD), although Liu Chengyou was only eleven years old at this time, he had already served as the envoy of the festival at this time, and as Liu Zhiyuan's status continued to rise, Liu Chengyou's status also continued to rise.
But another strange phenomenon happened, although the status of this younger brother continues to rise, but the two brothers never seem to have a fight, of course, it may be that they are still too young, but it can also be seen from these little things that Liu Chengyou still respects the eldest brother very much.
One day, I will stand by my father and brother's side and become their most effective helper.
Liu Chengyou must have thought so in his heart at this time.
In 947 A.D. (the twelfth year of Tianfu), Liu Zhiyuan established the Later Han Dynasty, in addition to formally establishing the heir, he also crowned Liu Chengyou as the general of the left guard, the inspector of the school, and was promoted to the inspection of the inner capital, the inspection of the school Taibao.
It's time to work together to create a better future, and the bad news is already coming.
In 948 AD, Liu Chengxun died of illness, and just before he had time to grieve, another even bigger blow came. Liu Zhiyuan died of illness.
In less than a month, two of his closest relatives passed away one after another, which was a great blow to him.
But this was not the time for grief, and soon he learned that he had been established as the heir to the throne.
Rest assured, my unfinished business will be completed by me.
But then he found out that this matter was not so easy, and the world was still turbulent at this time, and it was difficult to clean up. When he ascended the throne and summoned his ministers, he found that the greatest threat was not from the outside, but from within.
For the stability of the country, Liu Zhiyuan left Liu Chengyou a few auxiliary ministers before he died, and when he saw these people, he suddenly felt that these people were not helpers, but wolves and tigers, and he felt lonely like never before.
For example, once again Liu Chengyou discussed state affairs with Yang Wei and Wang Zhang, and we also said before that these two people were Liu Zhiyuan's ministers who took care of their lives, and they were also very capable. The three of them discussed the results, and Yang Wei and Wang Zhang were about to get up and say goodbye.
But Liu Chengyou didn't seem to be at ease, and when he left, he specially instructed: "After this matter is done, don't let the people complain." ”
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this sentence in itself, but the development of things is beyond Liu Chengyou's expectations. Wang Zhang hadn't spoken much at that time, Yang Wei suddenly jumped up and said sharply: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, there are ministers." ”
At that time, there were some other ministers there, and when they heard him say such a thing, they were all stunned, and even Liu Chengyou was stunned, but fortunately, there was no bleeding accident on the spot, and Liu Chengyou didn't say anything.
But in hindsight, the more Liu Chengyou thought about it, the more wrong it became, although I am young, I am still the emperor, are there any courtiers who talk to the emperor like this.
Judging from this incident, Yang Wei's personality is a little upright and a little pedantic, which also became the beginning of the later catastrophe.
In fact, this matter can't be put on any emperor, but Liu Chengyou at this time is special.
First of all, Liu Chengyou is an emperor who has just ascended the throne, and when he is about to establish his authority, you don't agree with each other, so you give the emperor a dismount, which is equivalent to making his authority challenged, and the emperor can't allow a courtier whose authority is better than him to be on top of his head.
Secondly, Liu Chengyou is still a young emperor, it is when his blood is strong and his temper is also big, if you go along with his wishes, it is fine, once it does not go well, it is bound to do something irreparable on impulse.
Finally, and most importantly, Liu Chengyou's education since childhood, whether it is his parents or his brother, has instilled in him a point of view, you are very smart, you are very capable. Even Liu Chengyou himself may think that he is a rare genius who can save the world,
But there is also a premise for this, and that is when his father and brother are there. But for Liu Chengyou, once those two people are gone, Liu Chengyou's mentality will change, he will not be able to recognize himself clearly, he will not be able to recognize the situation, he will handle things in his own way, and eventually cause some irreparable disasters.
