Chapter 139 Chapter 138 Shun Emperor Liu Zhun

Liu Zhun was born in July of the fifth year of Taishi (AD 469), the third son of Emperor Ming. It is said that he was the son of Liu Xiufan, King of Guiyang. After his mother gave birth to him, he was confined by Emperor Ming. The concubine brought him up, so he became the emperor and respected Chen as the concubine. On July 8, the fifth year of Yuanhui (AD 477), Liu Zhun, the 11-year-old governor of Yangzhou and king of Ancheng, heard that his elder brother Liu Yu was murdered. He couldn't help but shed tears of sadness. Board the vehicle that came to welcome you, and enter the court.On July 12th, Liu Zhun officially became the emperor, changed his name to "Sheng Ming", and granted amnesty.

Liu Zhun, who became emperor, was in a difficult situation.After Liu Yu's death, Xiao Daocheng immediately forced Yuan Can and others to hand over the matter of setting up the young master to him, so Liu Zhun was actually supported by Xiao Daocheng.From then on, Xiao Daocheng monopolized the power in the court, and Yuan Can and others just kept their vacant positions.Xiao Daocheng is an ambitious person, and everyone in the government and the public knows that he has the heart of disobedience. In December of that year, Shen Youzhi, the governor of Jingzhou, rebelled. Situ Yuan Can raised troops in Stone City to get rid of Xiao Daocheng.But Yuan Can and others had the heart to be loyal to the emperor and eliminate traitors, but they had no ability to fight with soldiers. They were not Xiao Daocheng's opponents at all. They were quickly put down, and Yuan Can, Liu Bing and others were all brutally killed.Although Shen Youzhi was a general who had fought many battles, he was defeated and died soon after.From then on, Xiao Daocheng's people were installed inside and outside the court, and the Liu Song regime existed in name only.

In September of the second year of Shengming (478 A.D.), Liu Zhun ordered Xiao Daocheng to go to the palace with his sword, but he did not enter the court and worship without being famous.In March of the third year, Xiao Dao became the Duke of Qi and enfeoffed Shi'e; in April, he became the king of Qi and enfeoffed ten counties.Stone City has become the palace of King Qi, and all the facilities are like the East Palace.Then, special ceremonies were added, with twelve crowns on the crown, the emperor's banner was built, and the son of the world was crowned prince.Liu Zhun ordered Zen to be located in Qi.

Liu Zhun's abdication marked the end of the Liu Song regime that had ruled for 60 years, and a new Qi Dynasty was about to be born.On this day, all civil and military officials gathered in the palace to see off the last emperor of Liu Song.It was time for Liu Zhun to go to the palace to meet with all the officials, but he was so frightened that he got under the Buddha cover and refused to come out even to death.Seeing that the abdication ceremony could not be carried out normally, Xiao Daocheng's confidant General Wang Jing led a group of heavily armed soldiers into the palace to pick Liu Zhun out of the palace in a car. Liu Zhun, who was shaking and crying, was found.As soon as Wang Jing saw Liu Zhun, he hurriedly told him to get in the car quickly.Liu Zhun wiped his tears and asked, "Am I going to be killed?" Wang Jing replied rudely, "No, I lived in another palace. It was the same when your Liu family took over Sima's family." Liu Zhun After hearing this, he burst into tears, flicked his fingers vigorously and said, "May the future generations not be reborn in the emperor's family!"

After the abdication ceremony, Liu Zhun went out of Dongye Gate in a painted wheel cart, and went to Xiaodao to become his prepared Dong residence.It was deserted along the way, and Liu Zhun asked, "Why don't you play drum music today?" The left and right listened and bowed their heads in silence.Wang Kun, the doctor of You Guanglu, grabbed the tail of the car with his hand, and cried loudly: "People are happy with longevity, and veterans are sad because of longevity. I can't die early, but this kind of thing happens frequently!" Shiguan is a doctor. He personally saw Liu Song and Jin Dynasties, and now he also sees Qi and Song Dynasties, so he made this statement.Wang Kun was overwhelmed with grief, and all the officials behind the car also burst into mourning, crying like rain.

Liu Zhun lived in Dongdi for a few days, and was forced to move to Danyang Palace.After Xiao Daocheng ascended to the pole, he was named the king of Ruyin, and he was treated as a non-subject. He could practice Song Zhengshuo in the palace, and writing a letter was not a form, and answering a form was not an edict. In May of the third year of Jianyuan (AD 481), someone rode a horse in front of Liu Zhun's gate, which caused panic among the guards who were already frightened, and someone took the opportunity to enter the palace and killed Liu Zhun.After Xiao Daocheng heard the report, he played in his arms, not only did not add any crimes, but rewarded the murderer generously.

Liu Zhun was only 13 years old when he died.Xiao Daocheng thought of his obedience to heaven and people's hearts in the Zen Dynasty, so he specially added Liu Zhun's posthumous title "Emperor Shun".In June, he was buried in Suining Mausoleum.
