The suspicion of being the emperor as the emperor has caused many heroic officials to be frightened. They are in a state of self-doubt and are in a state of self-doubt and in a state of insecurity all day long. Whenever there are clues and the situation is disturbed, they will jump over the wall and make a desperate move. They will make up their minds to rebel, in order to turn defeat into victory, and survive in a desperate situation... …
Shen Youzhi was forced to rebel because of self-doubt and fear
like Ying Bu, who was forced to rebel because of self-doubt and fear, emerged one after another during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the fourth generation of , the situation of heroes and generals being forced to rebel due to their own suspicion and fear is particularly common.
The rebellion of Shen Youzhi, a general in the late Liu Song Dynasty, is a typical example.
Shen Youzhi is the nephew of the famous general Shen Qingzhi . He therefore became General Zhenxi, governing the military of Jing, Xiang, Yong, Yi, Liang, Southern Qin and Northern Qin, and almost controlled the military power of nearly half of the country.
As a military commander who respects power, Shen Youzhi naturally understands the principle of high morale to shock the master. In order to avoid the unrestrained disaster caused by "the big tree attracts wind", he deliberately shows humility and generosity everywhere and high loyalty to the court; he has made military achievements to others, others betray him and suppress him, others tempt him and ignore him, and repeatedly confessed his loyalty to the court to the court.
The emperor was afraid that the situation would be out of control, so he summoned Shen Youzhi to the court and took control nearby. In order to avoid suspicion, Shen Youzhi "has a piece of ice in the jade pot". Without saying a word, he followed the car lightly and immediately entered the court to become an official. In short, as long as he can win the trust of the emperor, he can tolerate any grievances, and he can show his loyalty as he can.
As Shen Youzhi's contributions became greater and more powerful, the emperors of Liu Song's suspicion and purge of him became increasingly increasingly. When the deposed emperor Cangwu heard the news that "Shen Youzhi wanted to rebel", he immediately issued an edict, ordering Gao Daoqing of Zhige to send assassin to assassinate Shen Youzhi. Shen Youzhi was assassinated while hunting, but fortunately, the sharp arrow only hit his horse's mud, and he saved his life.
Such strange things happened one after another, making Shen Youzhi worry and indignant. Seeing the emperor repay him in this way, he treated his kind heart as a donkey's liver and lungs, his heart completely cold and gradually became rebellious.
Song Shunzhang ascended the throne and ordered Shen Youzhi to stay in the capital as a hostage. Shen Yuanyan, the son of Shen Youzhi, took the tools of the deposed emperor to cut off the human belly, which was a severe threat and warning. Now Shen Youzhi could no longer hold back and finally made up his mind, "You are not kind enough to blame me for being unrighteous." He rebelled, and the loyal minister turned into a rebellious minister in a blink of an eye.
This rebellion led to a great turmoil, which made the Liu Song regime, which was already centrifugal and stormy, worsened. "The roof leaked and the rain was raining all night, and the boat broke and encountered the wind at the head." Although it was finally pacified, the Liu Song Dynasty was also exhausted and soon died.
In fact, this was originally a completely avoidable rebellion, because the Liu Song Dynasty repeatedly suspected Shen Youzhi and had no way to go, which caused this change. This can be called an example of "the king forces his ministers to rebel"... …
