Life of the characters

Early experience

Liu Yifu is the eldest son and mother of Liu Yu, the emperor of Song Dynasty. Yixi two years (406), was born in Jingkou. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty had already passed his forties and had no son. The birth of Liu Yifu made Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty very happy.

In the 12th year of the reign of Yixi (416), Liu Yifu was worshipped as the prince of Yuzhang when he was ten years old. After the establishment of the song duchy, he was worshipped as the son of the song state. In the first year of Yuanxi (419), he became the prince of Song Dynasty.

To be the crown prince

In the first year of Yongchu (420), Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty, became the crown prince after he was called emperor by Zen.

When Liu Yifu was the crown prince, he was like a small group. When his father Liu Yu was ill, he had no control and had better play.

I often take a dragon boat to Tianyuan pool, play on the water, sing and dance, and have melodious orchestras. I don't spend the night on the dragon boat until the moon falls and I am tired. When Liu Yu was seriously ill, Xie Hui, together with the general Tan Daoji, Sikong Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang, was appointed to assist Liu Yifu.

It was the greatest honor and trust to be a minister. The important position of Xie Hui in the political situation at that time can be seen from this.

However, Liu Yu still has some reservation about his trust in these confidants. He once privately told Liu Yifu that "although Tan Daoji has a military strategy, but no ambition, Xu and Fu have no different intentions."

Ascend the throne for the Emperor

On May 26th, 422, Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty died. On the same day, the crown prince Liu Yifu, who was the emperor, was 17 years old and ordered a general amnesty. In the next year, it was changed to Jingping.

He honored the Empress Dowager Xiao wenshou as the Empress Dowager and granted the Crown Princess Sima Maoying as the queen. Sima Maoying is Princess Haiyan, the daughter of Sima Devon, Emperor Gong of Jin Dynasty. On the day of Renshen in June of the same year, Fu Liang, the minister's servant, served as the commander of Zhongshu and the minister's order, and assisted with Sikong Xu Xianzhi and leading general Xie Hui.

When Liu Yifu was in power, he was impolite in mourning and was fond of visiting. Young people have a childlike heart, but they know how to play, what father's death, what military and national affairs, let alone mind. All the ministers did not listen to their advice. The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty broke the border, lost the battle, and the general was impeached by himself. The Chinese people were frightened, and he didn't care. He was really carefree and happy when he was happy. He didn't worry about heaven as a Qi man.

Abandoned and killed

In the second year of Jingping (June 424), civil and military generals Xu Xianzhi, Tan Daoji and others led the soldiers to fight in. They brought Liu Yifu, who was sleeping soundly, to the shore, collected his seal, and made him king of Yingyang in the name of empress Xiao. He was killed shortly after, at the age of 19. Xu Xianzhi also sent people to kill Liu Yizhen in Xin'an (now Huizhou City, Anhui Province), and later established Liu Yilong, the third son of Liu Yu, as emperor.

The emperor had great physical strength, was good at riding and shooting, and understood the temperament. It is said that the quality of Shaodi's body is easy to be dyed, and his posture can be lowered. Don't follow what you want. Risk is not learning but ability. It's not unfortunate that it's extremely rich. What a pity!

Anecdotes and allusions

The mystery of Tuogu

After Liu Yu's death, Xie Hui, Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang were loyal to Liu Yifu, the emperor of Song Dynasty. However, what Liu Yifu did soon disappointed them. Although the young emperor was intelligent, strong, good at riding and shooting, and good at music, he was pampered and lost his education since he was a child. After he ascended the throne, he played with palace people all day long, indulged in sensual activities and ignored state affairs. In addition, he fought against the Northern Wei Dynasty last year, and foreign invasion was the most serious. Fearing that they might be responsible for the previous emperor's entrustment, they discussed with Tan Daoji, the governor of Southern Yanzhou, and Wang Hong, the governor of Jiangzhou Abandon and set up a new king.

One day in May of the second year of Jingping (424), the weather was very hot, so Liu Yifu, the young emperor, went to the palace Zhonghua Forest Garden (now in the area of Jiming temple in Nanjing) for summer vacation. At that time, Liu Yifu, the young emperor, built a row of shops in the Royal Hualin garden. He wore small clothes and short clothes, which were "T-shirts and shorts". He bought and sold them in person and haggled. I rowed for fun with my courtiers for a day. In the evening, I took a dragon boat to Tianyuan pool to have fun, sing and dance, and have a melodious orchestra. It was not pleasant until the moon was falling, I went to have a snack and drank a lot of wine. I couldn't resist sleeping on the dragon boat.

In the early morning of the next day, Tan Daoji, a civil and military general, led his troops to open the way. Xu Xianzhi and others then entered the palace from Yunlong gate. Xing Antai and others had convinced the Royal Guard in advance, so no one came out to stop them. Before Liu Yifu got up, the sergeant broke in, killed two of Liu Yifu's attendants, cut Liu Yifu's fingers, supported Liu Yifu out of the East Pavilion, and seized the emperor's jade seal and ribbon. Civil and military officials kowtow to him, and the sergeant sends Liu Yifu back to his former residence Taigong.

Cheng Daohui advised Xu Xianzhi and others to support Liu Yigong, the emperor's younger brother and the governor of Southern Yuzhou. However, Xu Xianzhi and others believed that Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, had always had a high reputation and many auspicious omens. Therefore, they claimed that Liu Yifu, the king of Yingyang, had been dismissed as king of Yingyang at the order of Empress Dowager Zhang, and Liu Yilong (the third son of Liu Yu), the king of Yidu, inherited the throne of the Emperor (according to the chronicles of Chinese History), "song Shaodi played a wild game, and Xu Xianzhi and others called Tan Daoji In the capital, Liu Yizhen, the king of Luling, and Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, were killed, and Liu Yilong, the king of Jiangling, was set up for Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty And pardoning those below the death penalty. He also claimed that at the order of the empress dowager, he took back the emperor's seal, demoted the empress Sima Maoying as Princess Yingyang, and sent Liu Yifu to Wujun (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province), where Tan Daoji entered the palace to guard the court hall. After arriving in Wujun, Liu Yifu was put under house arrest in jinchangting.

Xu Xianzhi and others sent Zhongshu Sheren Xing Antai to assassinate Liu Yifu. Who knows that Liu Yifu is brave (according to historical records, Liu Yifu has physical strength, is good at riding and shooting, and understands the rhythm). He stands up and fights, but he has to break through the encirclement and run out of changmen. The pursuers beat him with the bolt. Liu Yifu is injured and falls to the ground. Xing Antai catches up with him and kills him. He is only 19 years old. Xu Xianzhi and others sent people to kill Liu Yizhen, the king of Luling who was exiled in Xin'an (now Huizhou City, Anhui Province). In this way, Liu Yifu, the young emperor, lost his throne, lost his country and lost his life because of the word "play".

After killing Liu Yifu and Liu Yizhen, Fu Liang led hundreds of officials to Jiangling to welcome Liu Yilong, king of Yidu, to return to Beijing to serve as Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty.

The mystery of being killed

In 422, after Liu Yu's death, Xie Hui, Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang were entrusted by their fate. Xie Hui and others had followed Liu Yu to the East and the west, and knew that it was not easy to start a business.

In the second year of Jingping (June 424), Tan Daoji, the governor of Southern Yanzhou, led his troops to open the way, and Xu Xianzhi and others entered the palace from yunlongmen. Xu Xianzhi's subordinates, Xing Antai, and others, have first convinced the Royal Guard. Xing Antai caught up with a knife and lost his life. He was only 19 years old. He had just been emperor for a year, so he withdrew from the stage of politics and life forever.
