Shen Yue's book of the Song Dynasty: 1. If the king of Wu counted the quarrels between yin and Zhou, he could not put them in case; Huo Guangshu's fault in Changyi was not enough. * the only way to make a gentleman is to be a master of the society, and to destroy the temple. It's also fortunate that he will die. " ② "Although ziye said that he was the chief of his family, he was less vicious and unfilial ③ "It's a joke to insult your ancestors. You can't stop traveling. You can't stop indulging ④ "To punish the innocent, to punish the women." ⑤ "All hands and feet sweep the house. If you do dirty things, you'll be guilty of three thousand crimes."

Anecdotes and allusions

Suspected incest

Liu ziye's aunt, Princess Xincai Liu Yingmei, is the wife of he Mai, the son of general Wei He Yu. In October of the first year of Jinghe (465), Liu ziye sent his Aunt Liu Yingmei into the palace to meet her, forced her to have a relationship with her and asked her to leave her husband he Mai. Liu ziye left Liu Yingmei in the harem and called her Xie guipin. He lied to the outside world that Liu Yingmei had passed away. Liu ziye killed another palace maid and sent her to he Mai's house to be buried in the princess's ceremonial funeral. On October 21, Liu ziye appointed Xie guipin as his wife. With special permission, Liu Yingmei was allowed to take the imperial carriage with dragon flag and Luan bell. When entering and leaving, the city where she passed was under martial law. Liu ziye often suspected that he Mai was ambitious, but he Maiping was forthright, chivalrous and had many people who died for him. He couldn't bear such insults, so he planned to depose Liu ziye while he was on a trip and make Liu Zixun king of Jin'an emperor. On the third day of November, Liu ziye personally led his troops to kill he Mai.

Liu ziye also had incest with his sister, Princess Shanyin Liu Chuyu. Liu Chuyu, who was immoral, once said to Liu ziye, "although my majesty and I are different men and women, they are all the flesh and blood of the former Emperor. There are tens of thousands of beauties in your Majesty's harem, but I have only one son-in-law. It's not fair. How can it come to such a point! " So Liu ziye gave Liu Chuyu 30 people.

Crazy and unruly

At that time, Liu ziye went against the principle of no one king, killed all the ministers, feared all the uncles, imprisoned them in the palace, beat and insulted them in every way, which was no longer human. Liu ziye's uncle Liu xiuren, King Jian'an, King Xiangdong, and King Shanyang were all very fat. Liu ziye put them up in bamboo cages and weighed them. Liu Yu, the fattest, was called "pig king", Liu xiuren was called "killing king", and Liu Xiuyou was called "thief king". Because the three kings were the oldest, Liu ziye was especially worried and afraid of them, so he often arrested them and kept them close to him. Liu Yi, the king of the East China Sea, is mediocre and inferior, known as the "donkey king". Liu Xiufan, the king of Guiyang, and Liu xiuruo, the king of baling, are young, so they can get along with Liu ziye.

Liu ziye once used a wooden trough to hold rice, then put various kinds of miscellaneous food into it, mixed it, dug a pit on the ground, filled it with mud and water, took off Liu Yu's clothes, put it into the pit, put the wooden trough in front of him, ordered him to eat in the trough with his mouth like an animal, and made fun of it. Liu ziye tried to kill Liu Yu, Liu xiuren and Liu Xiuyou more than ten times before and after. Thanks to Liu xiuren's resourcefulness, he often made Liu ziye happy with his witty words and flattery, so he was able to postpone the killing.

At that time, Liu Meng's concubine, Tingwei, was pregnant. Liu ziye took her to the harem when she was in labor, hoping that she would have a boy and would become the crown prince. Liu Yu once disobeyed his purpose. Liu ziye was very angry, so he stripped his clothes, tied his hands and feet, passed through his hands and feet with a stick, sent someone to carry it to taiguan, and said, "kill the pig today." Liu xiuren said to Liu ziye with a smile, "pigs don't deserve to die today." When Liu ziye asked why, Liu xiuren said, "when the crown prince is born, kill him again
