The year after the failure of the third Northern Expedition in southern Song Wendi, Liu Yilong was killed by his son Liu Shao. After only three months as emperor, Liu Shao was defeated and beheaded by his younger brother Liu Jun, king of Wuling. Liu Jun acceded to the throne in Xinting and killed all the wives and concubines of Liu Shaojia. At that time, people circulated such a ballad: "Looking at Jiankang City in the distance, Xiaojiang wandered against the current. I saw my son kill my father before, and then my brother killed my brother. "
After he proclaimed himself emperor, he was famous for honoring Emperor Wu, honoring his mother Lu as the empress dowager and making the princess the queen. At that time, Liu Jun was 24 years old, strong and very lewd. No matter how close or humble a woman is, as long as she has some beauty, Liu Jun is called into the palace for luck. Empress Lu lives in Xianyang Palace, and the ladies-in-waiting inside and outside the imperial court and the daughters of the imperial clan will inevitably visit the Empress from time to time. Liu Jun often rushes in at this time. When he sees what he wants, he takes her into the palace to serve her. Sometimes I have sex in the queen mother's room. Empress Lu is too fond of her son to forbid it. Good things stay indoors while bad things will go far away. Therefore, the scandal in the palace soon spread throughout the capital.
However, there is another understanding of this matter. "Biography of Empresses and Concubines in Song Dynasty" said: "Go to the boudoir, show little respect, be lucky, or stay in the queen mother's room, so the people are noisy, salty and ugly. The palace is hidden and cannot be distinguished. " Looks like he's having an affair with his mother, Empress Dowager Lu. The so-called "folk noise" is not the emperor's luck, but sometimes he does that in the queen mother's room. As for the truth? The language in History of Song Dynasty is vague. However, Wei Shu provides a very clear comment: "Your fornication, steaming his mother Lu, the indecent sound spread to Europe and Vietnam." And "in the past four years, I have been hunting in Wujiang Estuary, traveling all over Huxian Mountain, walking with my mother and committing adultery." It couldn't be clearer.
Empress Lu, named Lv Huinan, was born in Jiankang, Danyang. She was elected to the harem because of her outstanding beauty, and was canonized as Shuyuan by Emperor Wen. At first, Song Wendi liked her very much. With the growth of age, Wendi gradually lost interest in Lv Shuyuan shortly after giving birth to his son Liu Jun. In the 12th year of Yuanjia, Liu Jun was named King of Wuling at the age of five. Lu Shuyuan couldn't bear to have her son outside alone at an early age, so she asked Wendy to let her go with her son. Because Lu Huinan had fallen out of favor, it didn't make much sense to go out of court, so Wendi agreed to her request. She is twenty-four years old, and Liu Jun and her son live alone in the fief. It was not until Liu Jun became emperor that Lu Huinan returned to the palace again. I won't elaborate on what happened in the meantime.
The queen is a native of Linyi, Lang. Her father Wang Yan is the great-grandson of Wang Dao, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the son of Wang Tuo, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Her mother is Princess Poyang, the daughter of Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the 20th year of Yuanjia, Wang Xian became the concubine of Liu Jun, the king of Wuling at that time. Although she is not very outstanding in appearance, it is often said that her jasper is not as good as everyone's maid. Wang Xian was born in a famous family in the world, and her manners are not comparable to those of ordinary women. When Liu Jun was not the emperor, he also loved Wang Xian very much. When he became emperor, he gradually became indifferent to Wang Xian, because he could summon women at will. After visiting Yang, the Empress Dowager returned to Kyoto and became a queen.
Liu Jun was born a slut. No matter young or old, as long as there is a little beauty in the boudoir, it is inevitable that Liu Jun will force them to live a happy life. Liu Jun's uncle Jingzhou, the secretariat of Liu Yixuan's four daughters, were raised in the palace at an early age. They are all beautiful, and Liu Jun, whether he is a cousin or not, is lucky together. Liu Yixuan's guts, in the name of Jun Qing, rose up against Liu Jun with hundreds of troops, fearing that Liu Yixuan was too powerful to withstand. He is going to make way for him. Liu Dan, king of Jingling, dissuaded Liu Jun and sent troops to attack Liu Yixuan. Unexpectedly, Liu Yixuan was just bluffing. After several confrontations, he was completely annihilated, and Liu Yixuan and his 16 sons were all killed.
After destroying Liu Yixuan, Liu Jun felt arrogant. He feasts in the harem every day. I used to sneak around with Liu Yixuan's daughters, but now I just make them concubines. The second of these four sisters, Princess Chu Jiang, is more beautiful than anyone else. She has a beautiful smile, which makes people lose their minds at first sight, so she loves the harem. Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy named Ziyuan Liu, ranking eighth among many sons in Liu Jun. He loved Liu even more and named her Qiu. But she is her cousin after all, so she pretends to be the daughter of Yinyan's family and is named Yin Shuyi.
Liu Jun is not only lustful and greedy for money, but also likes gambling and drinking, so he is jealous of insulting the minister. Yan Shibo, the secretariat of Qingji, entered Beijing as a servant and served around Liu Jun. His only specialty in life is flattery, which makes Liu Jun happy from morning till night. Liu Jun often plays tricks on Yan Shibo. On one occasion, Liu Jun played a trick to expose Huan Kun's fatigue, and he was elated. He thought he would win money. Unexpectedly, Yan Shibo threw a Zhang Lu card, and his face turned white. Yan Shibo hurriedly took the cards and said, "I almost caught Lu." Then he voluntarily admitted defeat. After playing cards, Yan Shibo lost1100,000. Liu Jun was overjoyed, and so was Yan Shibo. How can you be happy if you lose money? Because he knew that Liu Jun would be promoted to his position only if he lost money, and money was usually collected.
Liu Jun usually likes to play jokes on ministers. He called Dr. Wang Guanglu Xuan Mo an old man (meaning rude, mean and uneducated), Liu Xiuzhi a servant and an old man (meaning greedy and stingy), and Yan Shibo a ■ (■ is a grin, Yan Shibo has no teeth. In addition, Liu Jun has a nickname according to everyone's height. Liu Jun kidnapped a Kunlun slave. He looks like a fellow villager in Kunlun, tall and strong. He was specifically asked to stand beside him in the battle. When Liu Jun felt a little uncomfortable, he ordered Kunlun slave to beat his minister.
Liu Jun's arrogance is getting worse day by day, because too many rewards lead to an empty treasury, so he came up with a way to collect money. Every time the 2,000 stone secretariat in those places was removed, Liu Jun told them to gamble, and chose D ┐ Tang Fang, where the property accumulated for many years went into Liu Jun's pocket. It's almost like Ryoko.
Liu Jun thought the palace was too small, so he built a jade candle hall. Once, he came to the former residence of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are lanterns and hemp ropes that Liu Yuqiong used as a servant when he was poor. The purpose is to let his descendants realize the hardships of their ancestors' entrepreneurship. Liu Jun couldn't help laughing when he saw that the bedside was blocked by mud and a brush made of kudzu lanterns and hemp rope hung on the wall. Yuan Zhi, an assistant, deliberately satirized Liu Jun and spoke highly of his great-grandfather Emperor Wu's diligence and virtue. Liu Jun changed color and said, "A farmer uses too many of these things!"
Yin's son, who was only six years old, was appointed as the king of Xin 'an, and he led the secretariat of South Xuzhou. Yin Shuyi likes special rooms, but unfortunately, beauty is poor. Daming fell ill and died in April of six years. Liu Jun was so sad that she couldn't eat, just like losing her parents. He chased Yin as your concubine and set up a temple in the capital. At the funeral, the coffin was specially mounted on a dc car, and various ceremonial ceremonies were displayed around it, such as coffin, nine coffins, yellow house, left coffin, feather treasure, advocacy, forbidden sword, samurai and so on. And the advocacy of Yu Bao before and after is even more impressive than the funeral of the queen. Thousands of mourners, officials and imperial court all dressed in white, lined up behind the coffin.
Liu Jun led his wives and courtiers to the grave of Yin for many times, and regarded the grief of crying as a sign of courtiers' disloyalty. Qin satrap wept bitterly, his clothes were soaked with tears, and he almost fainted. Liu Jun was very happy and immediately appointed Liu Deyuan as the secretariat of Yuzhou. There is also a doctor named Yang Zhi, who is very funny. Liu Jun made him cry to Shu Fei, saying, "As long as you cry sadly, there will be a big reward." Yang Zhi burst into tears, crying and almost crying several times. Liu Jun gave Yang Zhi many treasures of gold and silver. Someone asked Yang Zhi afterwards, "Do you have to be in such a hurry?" At that time, Yang Zhi's beloved princess had just passed away. He said, "I cried for my concubine that day."
Liu Jun was heartbroken and ordered deacon Xie Zhuang to write a eulogy. Xie Zhuang has always been rich in literary talent, with thousands of words, and the contents of his words are touching. Liu Jun was lying in the palace, but he couldn't see two lines of tears, so he fell down. After reading the whole article, I sat up and sighed and said, "There are such talents in the world!" He said that he also followed the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and wrote an article mourning Yin Guifei, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hurt Xuan Guifei to Fu", among which "the flow method has an end and the mood is endless. Migration depends on the cloud and the moon. " As well as other sentences, it can be said that every word is touching and melodious, but I feel as if it is not as good as Xie Zhuang's Elegy. Now he ordered Xie Zhuang's words to be engraved on the tombstone. People in Beijing copied it privately, and the price of paper and ink soared once. Among them, Xie Zhuang was the most proud, and his talent became famous.
Although there are many beautiful women in the harem, since Yin Guifei's death, Liu Jun can't find a suitable one. Gradually, due to illness, Liu Jun, 35, died in the Jade Candle Hall in the summer of the eighth year of Daming. Sixteen-year-old Liu Yuxin Ye Zi succeeded to the throne, which was the most fatuous and cruel emperor in Liu and Song Dynasties. After Liu ascended the throne, he was made Emperor Xiao Wu, the name of the ancestral temple, and honored as the Queen Mother. But less than a year later, 38-year-old Wang Xian was angry with his son.
On one occasion, Liu pointed to the portrait and said, "This guy is so lewd that he is inferior by any means." Because of Yin, people in the East Palace have always disliked Liu. When he ascended the throne, he sent a messenger to dig Yin's grave and throw his bones in the wilderness. The Xin 'an Temple built for Yin was also demolished by Liu, and monks from far and near were killed. Before he died, the son of Yin, the king of Xin 'an, sighed: "I only hope that I will not be reborn in the royal family in my next life!"
Surprisingly, Liu Jun, a filial son, has a high poetic attainments. Wang Fuzhi commented on Liu Jun's "Climbing Leshan" and said: "It is tragic but not sparse." All Wen Song recorded its two volumes. It can be seen that there is another side in Liu Jun's heart. Human nature is complicated. Perhaps because of the weak kinship within the imperial court, everyone was influenced by power, including the emperor. When he gets used to the cold world prematurely and has been walking on thin ice, his psychology will inevitably be distorted.
