Chapter 60 A young hero ascends to the throne

Throughout the ages, there is no hero to find, but Sun Zhongmou is here.On the dance pavilion and singing stage, the wind is always blown away by the rain.Grass and trees in the setting sun, ordinary alleys, where human slaves once lived.I think back then, gold and iron horses swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger. Yuan Jia hastily sealed the wolf as his Xu, and won the haste.In the forty-three years, I still remember the beacon fire on Yangzhou Road.But looking back, under the Buddha Beaver Temple, there is a scene of Shenyashe drums.Who can ask, Lian Po is old, can he still eat? This poem "Jingkou Beiguting Nostalgia", which has been passed down through the ages, was written by Xin Qiji, a great poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, alleging that Han Wabizhou, the prime minister of power, ventured into the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Jin.Among them, "Yuanjia hastily, Fenglang lived in Xu" refers to the story of Wang Xuanmo's defeat in the Northern Expedition with the support of Song Wendi in the twenty-seventh year of Yuanjia (450).

As expected by Xin Qiji, Han Yuzhou was defeated and killed, just like Yuan Jia's story.Looking at Xin Qiji's poems, later generations often thought that Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty Liu Yilong was also an embroidered pillow like Han Yuzhou.Emperor Wen of Song reigned for 30 years and ascended the throne at the age of 17. He punished powerful officials and improved politics. "Yuanjia Literature" is an era of great books in the history of Chinese literature. Heroes of generals, such as Tan Daoji, Chen Qingzhi, Zongxi, etc., who leaped across the horse and hit four times without stopping, are all rare heroes in the history of Chinese warfare.What historians lament the most is that Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty was murdered in his prime. The murderer was his own prince Liu Shao, which became a famous murder case in Chinese history.who?Yang Guang's murder of Yang Jian is a "possible matter", there is no conclusive evidence, and history books are doubtful.Zhu Yougui murdered Zhu Wen, and An Lushan and Shi Siming killed each other, both of them were tyrants and hypocrites, and they were not born of the empress.Liu Shao's murder of rebellion is clearly recorded in official history, with a beginning and an end, and the iron case is like a mountain.

The important minister Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (small characters sent slaves) won a great victory in the Northern Expedition, destroyed Nanyan and Later Qin successively, and recovered Luoyang and Chang'an.Due to his old age and not many days to come, the old man had no time to manage northern China, so he hurried back to Jiankang to usurp the throne.Liu Yu established the Song State, which was the beginning of the Southern Dynasty. The old man had only been emperor for more than two years before he died of illness at the age of sixty.Prince Liu Yifu succeeded to the throne at the age of seventeen.Liu Yu personally wrote an edict on his deathbed: "If there is a young master in future generations, the court affairs will be entrusted to the prime minister one by one, and the mother queen will not bother to come to the court." Probably because he was afraid that women like Empress Lu and Jia would mess up the government, he entrusted the minister with full power in court affairs.Four ministers Xie Hui, Fu Liang, Xu Xianzhi and Tan Daoji assisted in the administration.

Liu Yifu, Shaodi of the Song Dynasty, was at the age when he loved to play games.Looking through the history books, this little emperor, who has been on the throne for less than three years, really did not have any alarming major faults. He neither murdered ministers brutally nor committed adultery in the palace. After all, he just loved to play.However, several auxiliary ministers didn't pay attention to the young emperor. When Liu Yu was alive, Xie Hui advised: "Your Majesty is old, and you should think about the throne of the world. The throne of the king is the most important, and people who are incompetent should not be allowed to take the throne."

Liu Yu thought for a while and asked, "How about Luling King Liu Yizhen?" Liu Yizhen followed Liu Yu in the Northern Expedition when he was twelve years old.His subordinate general Shen Tianzi and Wang Zhen'e killed each other.During the chaos, Helian Bobo, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, took the opportunity to force Liu Yizhen to defeat all the generals, and he himself hid in the grass alone, only escaping with his own body.At that time, he said to Duan Hong, who joined the army who rescued him: "If my husband doesn't go through this, how can he know it's difficult." , but "light action without moral karma".

Hearing that his father sent Xie Hui to talk to him, Liu Yizhen secretly prepared for a long time, "talking with desire", and really wanted to impress the famous people around his father so that he could become the crown prince.Xie Hui had a prejudice against Liu Yizhen, and he ignored it. He went back and said to Liu Yu, "(Yizhen) virtue is less important than talent, and he is not the master of human beings." Liu Yizhen was sent to other states to serve as governor. Xu Xianzhi, Xie Hui, Fu Liang and others secretly planned to abolish the young emperor. The next one should be Liu Yizhen, but this young prince was not favored by several ruling ministers, so he first wrote a letter listing his sins and mistakes, and deposed him as a commoner , Moved to Xin'an and placed under house arrest.Then, several ministers summoned two highly respected military generals, Wang Hong, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Tan Daoji, the governor of Nanyanzhou, into the court, and announced their plan to abolish the establishment.

At that time, Shaodi Liu Yifu set up a market in Hualin Garden, and he was wearing the clothes of a merchant to buy and sell things for fun.After the exhaustion, I boarded a big boat with Zuo Zuo to tour Tianyuanchi, and stayed on the dragon boat after being tired at night. Tan Daoji led his troops in under the orders of various civil servants, followed by Xu Xianzhi and others.Before Shaodi could get dressed, soldiers broke in and killed two servants immediately. During the dispute, Shaodi also injured his finger. He was helped out of the East Pavilion, confiscated the seal and ribbon, and was escorted back to the Taiwomen for house arrest by soldiers.All the ministers called the Empress Dowager Order, abolishing Emperor Shao as Yingyang King, and moved him to Jinchang Pavilion in Wudi for house arrest, and soon sent people to kill him.Liu Yi Fu Kong was very powerful, and when he saw someone killing him, he broke free and fled until he reached the gate of Changmen. The soldiers chasing him hit him on the head with a door bar, and he was killed after being knocked unconscious.

Then, Xu Xianzhi sent someone to kill another young prince Liu Yizhen in Xin'an. After completing these two tasks, all the officials prepared to welcome Liu Yilong, the third son of Emperor Wu, King Yidu, to Jiangling. Cai Kuo, Minister of the Temple Department, said to Fu Liang after the incident: "King Yingyang is in Wu, and he should be enshrined generously; once misfortune happens, you ministers must have the reputation of killing the lord. , how is it possible?" Fu Liang had already discussed with Xu Xianzhi to kill the young emperor, and after hearing this, he sent someone to stop him immediately, but the young emperor had already been killed by the time the messenger arrived.

Liu Yilong, king of Yidu, was seventeen years old and was sitting in Jiangling.When the generals in Jiangling heard that the young emperor and Luling king Liu Yizhen had both been killed, they were full of doubts and discouraged him from going to Jiankang to succeed to the throne, lest he would be killed by the current ministers again. Sima Wang Hua, a subordinate of the King of Yidu, tried his best to argue: "The first emperor (Liu Yu) made great contributions to the world and was accepted by the whole world. Although the young emperor was overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, the world's popularity has not changed. Xu Xian was a poor scholar, and Fu Liang was born among ordinary people. There is no usurpation scheme like Sima Yi and General Wang Dun. Luling King Liu Yi is really smart and strict. If he succeeds to the throne, he will definitely not be able to accommodate these people, so he is killed. Now, several important officials think that your highness is tolerant and benevolent, and you have crossed the border. Yizhen welcomes you, and actually hopes that you will be grateful to them in your heart, so that you can gain power and strengthen yourself. They treat you as the young master, so they shouldn't have too many delusions."

Liu Yilong made up his mind and headed east.After seeing Fu Liang, he burst into tears and moved left and right.Just after weeping for the misfortune of the Song Dynasty, he asked in detail the original reason for the killing of the young emperor and the king of Luling. Weeping and sobbing, the surrounding officials couldn't look up. Fu Liang was shocked and embarrassed, sweating and unable to speak. Liu Yilong defended himself with his cronies and soldiers, and went straight to Jiankang by boat, that is, the emperor, who was Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty.At that time, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty was unchanging in the face of difficulties, resolute and resolute, and indeed had the appearance of a young hero.

Xu Xianzhi and others felt that Jingzhou, which was originally controlled by King Yidu, was an important military area, so they appointed Xie Hui as the governor of Jingzhou as an external response.Xie Hui was about to leave, said goodbye to Cai Kuo, turned to the people around him, and asked, "Can I avoid disaster?" Cai Kuo replied: "You have been honored by the late emperor's life, and it is morally justified. But killing his two elder brothers and proclaiming himself a minister in the palace, under the prestige of shaking the Lord, according to the weight of the upper class, it is based on the ancients. , it is too difficult to avoid disaster!" After hearing Cai Kuo's words, Xie Hui's spine felt chills, and at first he was afraid that he would not be able to leave Jiankang.After boarding the boat, looking back, he shouted happily: "I have to take it off now!" It's a pity that Mr. Xie was too happy too early, always thinking that birds can fly freely when they come out of the cage, but they don't know that there is an invisible sky net. has been poured on him in secret. After Song Wendi succeeded to the throne, he first stabilized several ministers with high-ranking officials and generous salary, appointed Xu Xianzhi as Situ, Wang Hong as Sikong, Fu Liang added the third division of Fu Yitong, Xie Hui added the title of General of Wei, and Tan Daoji Jin was named General of the North. In the second year of Yuanjia (425), Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang made a petition to return to power, but Emperor Wen pretended not to agree, and they agreed three times. In the third year of Yuanjia, seeing that the time was ripe, Emperor Wen of Song issued an edict to expose the crimes of Xu, Fu, and Xie, and ordered the relevant departments to arrest them and bring them to justice.Xie Hui's younger brother was on duty at Zhongshu Province, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Xu and Fu.Xu Xianzhi was straightforward, perhaps deep down in his heart, he had been waiting for this day with trepidation, and immediately ran to the cave where the pottery was burned in the city wall and hanged himself to death.Fu Liang was stopped by government officials on the way, and Emperor Wen sent someone to tell him: "With your sincerity in Jiangling, I will keep all your sons safe." Therefore, Song Ting killed Fu Liang, exiled his wife and children in Jian'an, killed Xu Xian's second son, and Xie Hui's son Xie Shixiu. Emperor Wen then issued an edict of martial law, and sent generals to Yanzhi and others to attack Xie Hui, and Wang Hong, Tan Daoji and others to attack together. At first, in order to protect themselves, Xie Hui, Xu Xianzhi, and Fu Liang used imperial edicts to order Xie Hui to occupy the upper class of Jiangling, Tan Daoji town Guangling, each with strong troops, originally thought it would be enough to restrain the imperial court.When Xie Hui heard that Tan Daoji had also led the crowd to attack him, he panicked for a while. Although Emperor Wen was young, just after the age of twenty, he was already aware of his duties.He believed that Wang Hong and Tan Daoji were military generals, and the plan to abolish the establishment and kill the emperor was not initiated by them, so he appeased and recruited the two men, believing that they would surely win their death.Sure enough, the second general came after hearing the levy, and respectfully obeyed his orders. Emperor Wen asked Tan Daoji about his strategy for attacking Xie Hui.Tan Daoji said: "Xie Hui and I used to follow the late emperor in the Northern Expedition, and entered the ten strategies, nine of which were contributed by Xie Hui, which was indeed superior. But he never won alone, and the matter of arranging troops was not his director. I know Xie Hui's intelligence, Xie Hui knows my bravery, now I am ordered by the king to conquer him, Xie Hui will definitely lose!" According to historical records, Xie Hui is "beautiful and graceful, good at speaking and smiling, with clear eyebrows and hair like ink on the temples. He dabbles in literature and meaning, supports many things, and the emperor (Liu Yu) loves and appreciates him deeply, and he must be appointed both internally and externally."Once, he stood in the palace hall with Xie Hun, the most elegant family uncle in Jiangzuo. Liu Yu looked at him and sighed: "There are two jade men standing here at once!" (Xie Hun, the old "jade man") "Because it was used by Liu Yu's political opponent Liu Yi, he was killed first) Xie Hui led 20,000 troops from Jiangling, and defeated Wang Shi in Pengcheng Prefecture.Soon, the army of Tan Daoji and Daoyan arrived, with sails and banners in front of each other, and the fleet crossed the river. Xie Hui's army was defeated for a while. Xie Hui and his younger brother fled with only seven followers.Several people wanted to flee to Wei State in the Northern Dynasty. Xie Hui's younger brother was a big fat man who couldn't ride a horse and was extremely slow. In order to wait for him, Xie Hui was finally arrested by pursuers and sent to Jiankang. Brothers, nephews and nephews were all beheaded in the downtown area. The Xie family was full of style, and Xie Hui recited five-character poems before his execution, sighing and saying: "It is so great that it spans the scales of the sea, and it is so strong that it hangs down to the sky. Once you lose your feng shui, you will be eaten by ants." Xie Hui's daughter is Emperor Wen's younger sister-in-law, Princess Pengcheng. It was raining, and the howling could not be suppressed. With a raise of his hand, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty punished several powerful officials one after another. For this reason, historians praised the young emperor Liu Yilong: While enduring adversity, occupying a high position, upholding great power, wanting to suppress big traitors to calm chaos... If you don't covet big positions, don't care about personal favors, don't be afraid of fierce power, and spread your grief and anger, you will be a hero in the Nine Armies! (Wang Fuzhi)
