As the saying goes, "There are tyrants in troubled times, this is really true. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are the second chaotic times after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. All the powerful people kept grabbing territory and becoming kings and then began their extravagant life. Central Plains Five Dynasties successively changed their regimes, and other separatist regimes far away from the Central Plains were also changed like a flash. More than a dozen separatist forces existed, so they were also called the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Liu Yu
wise monarchs are all similar, but each tyrant has their own ways of playing. Among them, Nanhan monarch plays the most. Unlike other monarchs who like beauties, this monarch of the Southern Han prefers ugly women with big shoulders and round waists, and there is more than one. He plays happily every day, so he naturally has no interest in the government. However, in order to prevent anyone from usurping the throne, he ordered scholars to castrate themselves after taking the imperial examinations and want to become officials. After all, there is no descendant of the eunuch, so that no one can usurp the throne. This is a little clever ghost. This emperor is Liu Yu monarch of the last throne in the Southern Han Dynasty.
Establishment of the Southern Han
Speaking of the establishment of the Southern Han, it has to start from the end of the Tang Dynasty. During the Huang Chao Rebellion, the rebel army fled to the Lingnan area. In Lingnan, the two brothers Liu Yin and Liu Yan organized an army of tens of thousands of people and warships to fight against the Huang Chao Rebel Army. As for Liu Yin and Liu Yan, they were born in a scholarly family. The grandfather was Liu Ren'an, the governor of Chaozhou, and the father was Liu Qian, the governor of Fengzhou. Therefore, they responded to it. After the Huang Chao Rebellion was quelled, the Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty appointed Liu Yin as the governor of Qinghai in order to reward Liu Yin and Liu Yan's contribution.
Huangchao Rebellion
At the end of the Tang Dynasty Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty to establish Houliang , and had no time to care about the Lingnan region, so he named Liu Yin as the King of Dapeng County, and finally named him the King of South China Sea, becoming the actual controller of Lingnan. Unfortunately, Liu Yin died of illness shortly after becoming the King of South China Sea, and had no sons left his position to his younger brother Liu Yan. Liu Yan continued to work in the Lingnan region and completely controlled the Lingnan region. Seeing that the civil strife in Houliang continued to storm, he took the opportunity to proclaim himself emperor, the country was named Dayue, and the capital was established Panyu, and changed his name to Liu ban , taking the meaning of flying dragons in the sky, but after all, there were no great people in his ancestors. In order to touch the porcelain, he claimed that he was a descendant of Liu Bang, and changed the country to Han, which was known in history as the Southern Han.
Southern Han territory
However, Liu Jian, the founding emperor, was not a wise ruler. He built a large-scale construction, imposed heavy taxes, and abused torture, which directly set the tone for the emperor behind him. After Liu Jian's death, his son Liu Yan succeeded to the throne, and his father was of the same virtue, incompetent and incompetent liked to watch the strong men fight against him, and was eventually killed by his younger brother Liu Sheng , and it ended in less than a year of reign.
Liu Sheng was not a good person afterwards. He continued to romance like his father. He liked to torture people and killed his brothers to prevent them from following like this. Nan Han was tortured by three emperors and sons for decades and finally survived until Liu Sheng died. He thought that the successor would be better, but as a result, another foolish monarch came. This is Liu Yu, the last monarch.
founded the eunuch dynasty
Liu Yu was only 16 years old when he ascended the throne. Unlike the previous three emperors, Liu Yu looked shy and cowardly, but cowardly does not mean not being cruel. He perfectly inherited the cruel and unscrupulous character of several ancestors, continued to impose levies and kill subjects, causing the people of the Southern Han to live in misery, and also ignored the government affairs and handed over all the power of the government to an eunuch named Gong Chengshu. Gong Chengshu was an old eunuch of the three dynasties and was deeply trusted by Liu Yu, so he replaced Liu Yu to take charge of the government affairs. However, Gong Chengshu was a eunuch after all, and was criticized by scholars every day. In anger, Liu Yu encouraged Liu Yu to say that all the ministers had families, so they could not be loyal to the emperor, but only eunuchs had no family and had no children, can they serve the monarch wholeheartedly.
Really a clever idea
Liu Yu heard it, and it made sense, so he ordered that those who want to be an official after the imperial examination must castrate themselves first. No matter you are the top scorer, the second scorer, or the third scorer, you have to castrate yourself and then be awarded the official position. I thought I would scare away many people, but there were still many people who continue to tempt the official position. Unfortunately, the purity of oneself was a technical job at that time. If a person was not good, he would not be able to save his life. However, many people still lined up to be a purifier. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty writer Yuan Mei said: "History 10, the top scorer in the Southern Han Dynasty cannot be used as a top scorer. It can be seen that Nan Han's behavior of castrating himself first. Therefore, the saying "When you are on the 10th anniversary list, there will be no more wedding nights in " has been circulated.
Note: "All ministers who have the talent, Jinshi, or monks and Taoists can talk to each other, first go to the silkworm room, and then get in. Some people castrate themselves to seek advancement, and some people who avoid death and go to the palace. There are nearly 20,000 eunuchs." ("Zizhi Tongjian Volume 294·Hou Zhou Jiwu")
However, because Liu Yu trusted eunuchs very much, all major affairs in the court were handed over to eunuchs, and they were arranged to be in important positions. Therefore, the career of eunuchs in the Southern Han Dynasty was very hot, and many people were rushing to enter the palace.
likes ugly women with big waists and round waists
Because all the major affairs of the court were handed over to eunuchs, Liu Qing went to the harem for fun every day. It is estimated that the beauties were a little aesthetically tired when they saw too many beauties, and they felt very empty every day. One day, Liu Qingliu was able to think that Persian women were different from the Persian women they imagined. This Persian woman was black and fat, but she was good at sexual intercourse, which made Liu Qing feel different, which made Liu Qing exclaim that a Persian woman was not enough, so she found nine of the same figure, and they gathered together ten, named "Ten Meiwo". All of these women had big waists and round waists, big breasts and fat buttocks.
Everyone thinks Persian women
In order to prevent these ten women from being jealous, Liu Qing first named them according to their personality characteristics and appearance, namely Meizhu, Meiniu, Meiyang, Meixiao, Meixiao, Meixiao, Meixiao, Meixiao, Meixiao . Watching this name makes people "bleed from nose". Meixiao cannot keep her figure strong and powerful, Meixiao cannot keep her voice like a bell. As for Meixiao, you can imagine it yourself. Their leader is Meixiao from Persia, and then formulated some rules and regulations, and the harem is safe and sound.
In fact, Persian woman
Of course, this Persian woman is a bit chill after all. In order to prevent her from falling out of favor one day, she suggested that Liu Qing hold a grand event and catch some scoundrels from the street and pick up some scoundrels from the street and slap them together with the women in the palace. Liu Qing watches on the side and marks them. If the man is stronger, he will reward the man with gold and silver. If the woman is stronger, then castrate him directly. What's worse is that he feeds him directly to the tigers and leopards in the back garden, which makes Liu Qing very busy every day.
finally destroyed the country
At this time, the Central Plains dynasty had changed. After establishing , Zhao Kuangyin began to conquer the separatist regime. The Southern Han in Lingnan was naturally the target of Zhao Kuangyin's destruction. So after preparing, Zhao Kuangyin sent general Pan Mei to attack the Southern Han. At this time, the royal family of the Southern Han Dynasty had long been completely killed, and the general was also killed because the eunuchs took power. Only the eunuchs favored by Liu Yu were in charge of military power, and they were unable to stop the attack of the Song army.
in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty
Seeing that he could not resist, Liu Yu decided to fill the gold, silver and treasures that the Southern Han had plundered for so many years and the concubines in the harem, and prepared to escape by boat. Unfortunately, before he could set off, the eunuchs who favored him left him alone and fled. Liu Yu could only surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty. At this point, the Southern Han was completely destroyed. Liu Yu was escorted to Kaifeng and was named the Marquis of Enshe by Zhao Kuangyin. Although the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed, it was a blessing for the people of the Southern Han Dynasty. After being tortured by the four emperors of the Liu family for decades, he could finally live a stable life.

Life in the Northern Song Dynasty
Liu Yu's life in the Northern Song Dynasty was quite nourishing. He pushed all his bad things to the eunuch Gong Chengshu, saying that he was just forced to do so, and Zhao Kuangyin did not intend to kill him. After all, it is impossible to restore the country by the monarch so hated by the subjects of the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Yu himself also relied on shamelessness to die in the Northern Song Dynasty.

When Song Taizong was preparing to destroy Northern Han , Liu Yu and former King of Wu Yue who had surrendered to Song before, Qian Chu and former Navy governor Chen Hongjin attended a banquet. At the banquet, Liu Yu not only shamelessly pleased Song Taizong, but also said that after pacifying the Northern Han Dynasty, he hoped to become the leader of surrendered kings in various countries. Seeing Liu Yu pleasing himself so much, he was both contemptuous and funny. The next year, Liu Yu died and was posthumously named King of Nanyue by Song Taizong, ending his debauchery and innocence.
Overall, the four monarchs of the Southern Han Dynasty were all cruel and unscrupulous monarchs, treating their subjects like pigs and dogs, especially Liu Yu was the most prosperous. A series of incredible operations were shocking, which eventually led to the destruction of the Southern Han Dynasty. However, Liu Yu was also smart. Among the many kings who destroyed the country in the Northern Song Dynasty, the ending was the best. After all, Li Yu was poisoned to death by Emperor Taizong of Song before, and he was afraid of death. Fortunately, his cruelty and bad people were hated by the people before and had no hope of restoring the country. In addition, he was shameless and licked all kinds of things, and finally died.
