"Math question"
It is said that there was a man named Zhou Jie who was good at horoscope divination. During the reign of Emperor Mingzong of the later Tang Dynasty, he became a Jinshi and became an official in the court. Later, he deduced that the Central Plains was about to be in chaos and only Lingnan could avoid the chaos, so he moved his family to Lingnan.
At that time, Lingnan was under the control of Liu Yin. Liu Yin had long admired Zhou Jie's name, so he humbly asked him for advice on the disasters of heaven. What Zhou Jie said about astrological divination and asking for fortune-telling are all feudal superstition and deception. All the emperors and ministers of the Central Plains are ashamed of them. Don't fall into the trap. Later, Liu Yin repeatedly requested, and Zhou Jie simply excused himself because of his old age and physical weakness.
Liu Yan was not so polite, and forced him to come out and serve as Si Tianjian of the Southern Han Dynasty, and forced him to calculate the state of Zuo for the Southern Han Dynasty. Zhou Jie had no choice but to use the Book of Changes to pick up two hexagrams, both of which were "Tu". So Zhou Jie helped Liu Yan explain that the number of "Tu" is derived from "five" and then becomes "ten". Two and five are connected, so there should be five hundred in the Southern Han Dynasty. Fifty years of Guo Zuo. Don't get hung up on the specific algorithm. In short, Liu Yan heard that the Southern Han Dynasty could enjoy the country for 550 years. Longyan was very happy and rewarded Zhou Jie heavily.
In fact, the two "Tu" hexagrams mean fifty-five. It was exactly fifty-five years from the founding of the country by Liu Yan to the surrender of the Song Dynasty by Liu Yuan.
"Liu Shiyan's Prophecy"
It is said that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when Liu Yan was building a palace, he excavated a stone tablet with sixteen ancient seal characters engraved on it, "Everyone has one, a mountain is worth an ox, a rabbit's silk swallows bones, and the sea bears Liu's cap."
Later, someone gave an explanation: "Everyone has one" means "adult"; "Mountains are worth cattle", Liu Yan founded the country in the year of the ox; "Rabbit silk", Liu Hongxi came to the throne in the year of the rabbit; "Swallowing bones" means Liu Hongxi slaughtered his brothers; "Gaihai", the ancient Lingnan people took Tianshui as their surname, and "Gaihai" means "Zhao"; "Chengliu" means accepting Liu's surrender.
"Fireproof Vats"
During Liu Yuan's reign, people were ordered to have a bucket in their homes for fire protection, which was named "fireproof bucket".
Later, someone elaborated and said that "the land of Song Dynasty is the difference between house and heart". "Fang" represents the Song Dynasty, and "fang" is the same as "fang", and "barrel" is the same as "tong", so "fire prevention barrel" This indicates that the Zhao and Song dynasties will come to unify Lingnan.
"Nursery Rhymes Become Prophecies"
During the reign of Liu Yuan, there was a popular nursery rhyme in Guangzhou, "Sheep's head is two and four, and it rains during the day."
The interpreter said that the day when the Song division entered the city was February 4th of the Xinwei year, and Tianyu refers to the timely rain by the Wang division to save the people of Lingnan.
The ancients believed in the induction of heaven and man, and believed that strange people would have visions. Whether it was the birth of the emperor or the change of dynasty, it would always be accompanied by various supernatural phenomena or various miraculous prophecies and prophecies. Anyway, with hindsight, it can always be explained by shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target.
Especially for these so-called nursery rhymes, I carefully recalled the nursery rhymes of my childhood, and it seems that in addition to the three vulgar curses, there are three vulgar curses. For example, so-and-so’s head was like a ball, and he kicked it into the department store...
People have different feelings towards the king who has subjugated his country. Some are pitiful, and they lament that "it is not the king who has subjugated his country, but the fate of his country."; some are admirable, such as choosing to die for the country at the last moment, or committing suicide or throwing a ring. , or the most retro self-immolation of the whole family, leaving behind the tragic song of "the king dies in the country"; some are despised, scolding him for his own sins, and deserve to die; and some are laughable, turning himself into a joke...
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was undoubtedly a highly productive period for the subjugated kings, and the Song Dynasty became the final destination of the subjugated kings. Liu Yuan, the conquered king of the Southern Han Dynasty, did not forget to bring his strange temperament to Bianzhou.
"The temperament of subjugation"
Liu Yuan grew up in the imperial palace and was deeply influenced by his father and grandfather's advocating luxury. He has high attainments in art appreciation. Over time, Liu Yuan became a top art master who was delayed by being an emperor. Although the palace buildings and various treasures were set on fire before the surrender, there were still forty-six urns of pearls that remained. The gold, silver and jewels of dozens of large ships were stolen by eunuchs, and the entire palace treasury was burned... There were still forty-six jars of pearls left, which shows the extravagance and corruption of Liu Yuan's puppet dynasty.
Liu Yu used these pearls to make a "Pearl Dragon Nine-Five Saddle" and dedicated it to Zhao Kuangyin.
The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty held this saddle made of pearls and decorated with dragons and beads, and couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship. Zhao Kuangyin showed this saddle to the royal craftsmen. As a result, these royal craftsmen were "all horrified", saying that this saddle was definitely the ceiling of the industry and the only one in the industry.
Zhao Kuangyin asked them to help estimate the price. The final estimate by the builders was 1.5 million. Zhao Kuangyin then paid 1.5 million yuan to Liu Yuan, and then warned the officials: "Liu Yuan is a good craftsman and a habit. If he uses this energy to govern the country, he will lose the country!"
The Pearl Dragon Nine-Five Saddle has since become a living teaching aid in the ideological education classes of the Song Dynasty royal family.
"Tyrant temperament"
One day, Zhao Kuangyin took a carriage and arrived at the Lecture Pool accompanied by dozens of followers. As usual, he studied and studied here and had a banquet with the ministers. Liu Yuan was the most active and was the first to report. Zhao Kuangyin was very happy, so he ordered someone to give him a glass of royal wine to show his favor.
However, Liu Yuan, who was holding the wine glass, was trembling all over and bursting into tears.
How could you be so moved?
I saw Liu Yun lifting his clothes and kneeling down, crying: "I have inherited the inheritance of my father and ancestors for two generations. I disobeyed the imperial court and was punished by the king. I deserve death! Since your majesty promised to spare me, I I don’t dare to ask for anything extravagant, I just hope to be an ordinary citizen of Bianzhou and see a few more years of peace and prosperity... I really don’t dare to drink this wine!”
It turned out that Liu Yu was jealous of the clan ministers in Lingnan and often poisoned the ministers and clans by giving him poisoned wine, so he subconsciously thought that Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to use poisoned wine to get rid of him.
Zhao Kuangyin laughed "haha" and said, "I'm honest with you, how can you be so dirty? Come here, bring the wine." Then Zhao Kuangyin drank the cup of royal wine in one gulp, and then ordered someone to pour it for him again. One cup, "Do you believe it now?"
Liu Yuan was so ashamed that he kowtowed several times and drank it all in one gulp.
“Bar owner’s temperament”
In the early days of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, he convened the ministers for a banquet. At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty was planning to attack the Northern Han Dynasty and eliminate the last separatist puppet regime in the Central Plains.
Liu Yuan held up the wine glass and said: "Your Majesty is wise and the Celestial Empire is mighty. Those tyrants from the past are also sitting here today. I believe Liu Jiyuan will come to meet you soon in Taiyuan. Your Majesty, don't forget , I am the first one among this group of people, everything comes first, and I should be the boss of the Lord of Pretenders!"
This banquet was held in 979. In addition to him, Liu Yun's "lord of hypocrisy" included Qian Hongchu of Wuyue Kingdom, Chen Hongjin of Quanzhou, etc. Before the surrender of the Southern Han Dynasty, Jingnan, Southern Chu, and Hou Shu were eliminated by the Song Dynasty. However, Gao Jichong of Jingnan and Meng Chang of Hou Shu had both died at that time, and Zhou Baoquan of Southern Chu was placed outside; after the surrender of the Southern Han Dynasty, After that, the separatist forces of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue Kingdom and Quanzhou Qingyuan Army were eliminated. Among them, Li Yu, the later leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, had also passed away at that time.
Therefore, Liu Su was extremely proud to say that he was "the first to come to court" and was much better behaved than Qian Hongchu and Chen Hongjin. There is only one Liu Jiyuan from the Northern Han Dynasty who is missing from our "circle of fake friends". He will come in a few days. He is the latest to come, so Your Majesty, you must let me be the leader of the " fake friends circle".
In fact, as we will talk about later, Qian Hongchu was also very well-behaved, but he was still shocked by Liu Yu's shameless face. You are so shameless, and you can pretend to be a grandson even more than Liu Chan, who is happy and carefree about Shu!
Taizong Zhao Guangyi was so pleased with Liu Yu's flattery that he immediately rewarded him heavily.
In the fifth year of the Taiping and Xingguo era, Liu Yuan died in Bianzhou at the age of 39 due to ineffective treatment. This ended his strange and short life and left us prematurely.
After Liu Yuan surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he was first granted the title of Marquis of Enpardon, then the title of Duke of Pengcheng County, and then the Duke of Wei. When the bad news came, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty deposed the court for three days, posthumously awarded him the title of Taishi, and posthumously named him King of Nanyue. He was buried in Hushan, Shaozhou. Because Liu Yuan was posthumously named King of Nanyue, people renamed Hushan Mountain as Yuewang Mountain.
