The Great Qin Empire was settled in one corner and broke out in poverty. Thousands later, the Southern Han Kingdom was also in one corner, but perished in wealth. That sentence was justified: God opened a door for you and closed a window for you at the same time.
In the last years of the Tang dynasty, the feudal vassals were separatist, and the various localities were like kites out of the line and closed their doors to become the emperor of the land. When the warlords of the Central Plains were fighting each other with swollen noses and swollen noses, Liu Yin, the southernmost Qinghai Jiedu Envoy (to control Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places today), quietly grew bigger. When Zhu Wen destroyed Tang and established the Houliang regime, Liu Yin was appointed by Zhu Wen as the king of the South China Sea.
After Liu Yin died of illness, his brother Liu Ji inherited the title. Liu Ji was the founder of the Southern Han regime. Of course, he would not call himself "Southern Han", but "Han", which is the name of later generations. Since he is Han and his surname is Liu, Liu Ji should be a descendant of Liu Bang, right? Sorry, 99% of them are not!
According to various historical materials and epitaph excavations, the family of the Liu family in the Southern Han Dynasty can be roughly described in the following three ways:
1, Central Plains people
2, Lingnan minority
3, Big eater Persians
There are two disputes, one is Henan Shangcai, the other is Pengcheng (Xuzhou). The Liu family claimed to be from Pengcheng, and a discerning person would understand at a glance that this is desperately relying on Liu Bang's hometown, which is not very credible.
What is interesting is that after Liu Ji became emperor, he actually only established three temples, namely, grandfather, father and brother. In ancient times, there were seven temples for the emperor (even nine temples), five temples for princes, and three temples for doctors. This self-defeating method has exposed the unspeakable family background of the Liu family.
The Southern Han Dynasty was established in 917 AD and perished in 971 AD, which lasted 54 years. The Southern Han Dynasty has three generations and four emperors, namely, the emperor Liu Ji (reigned 25 years), Emperor Liu Ting (reigned 1 year), Zhongzong Liu Sheng (reigned 15 years), and Gongzong Liu Yun (reigned 13 years) Years), among which Liu Ting and Liu Sheng are brothers.
Southern Han Dynasty has two unique and favorable conditions, one is to stay away from right and wrong, and the country is peaceful; the other is highly developed commerce and international trade is booming. These two conditions made the Nanhan rich. It is a pity that the Lords of the Nanhan Kingdom used the door God opened for them as peekaboo toys and staged a series of ridiculous dramas until the country's death.
How absurd the emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty are, roughly speaking, there are three points, one is arrogance and prostitution, the other is cruelty to kill, and the third is deformed politics. These three points are almost the common problems of all the kings of subjugation, but when people see it at the end, they realize that they are high-ranking players who have achieved these three to the extreme.

arrogant and extravagant and lusty
1. There is a good way to accumulate wealth
The three generations of monarchs in the Southern Han Dynasty, the art of accumulating wealth is more blue than blue. The first generation of Liu Ji was the practice of soil buns, and he relentlessly increased taxes, simple and rude.
Liu Sheng, the second-generation monarch, laughed at his father for guarding Jinshan to beg for food. There are international merchant ships passing by in the South China Sea every day. Which ship is not always a small golden mountain? Yes, Liu Sheng became a pirate emperor. He directly sent troops to looting merchants at sea, making the best use of relying on the sea to eat the sea.
Liu Yun, the third-generation monarch, ridiculed Liu Sheng for being uncivilized. I hate you pirates the most, because they have no technical content! Liu Yun is really not bragging. His money-gathering skills are enough to write a doctoral thesis: currency wars.
He issued a currency called "Qianheng Heavy Treasure Lead Money". As soon as you hear the name, you know that this thing is not a copper coin, but a low-cost lead. In ancient times, the most commonly used method for private money casting was to increase the content of lead. Liu Yun said, how profitable is that? I use lead all! And he also mandated that one lead coin is equivalent to ten copper coins.
In order to promote the lead money, starting from the officials, all the salaries are collected. After returning, they will rely on their power and spend them forcibly. See how clean the money in our Southern Han Dynasty is, there is no copper smell at all. It's so bad, this guy doesn't understand money printing.
Liu Yun also has a way of making money. He sent an 8,000-person "pearl fishing team" to catch fishermen everywhere and force them to dive into the deep sea to collect pearls. In order to collect large beads, they tied stones to fishermen's feet to increase the depth of the dive. As a result, countless people drowned.
In short, until the end of the Southern Han Dynasty, there were so many rare treasures in the palace that the boats could not fit them, so Zhao Kuangyin was cheaper.
2. Daxing civil engineering
z1After z
Liu Yun was escorted to Kaifeng, he used pearls to change a saddle for Zhao Kuangyin by himself. Zhao Kuangyin sighed with emotion: If this thought is used to govern the country, how can it be destroyed?
Yes, the three monarchs of the Southern Han Dynasty have a common hobby: to build civil engineering.
The ruins of the Nanhan Palace have been excavated, and its scale is comparable to that of the Daming Palace, a few blocks away from the Nanyue Palace. According to historical records, the decoration of the palace "Jade Hall of Pearls", even the sewers are covered with pearls, the roof is gold, the ground is silver, and the railings are crystal.
Of course, apart from the imperial palace, the Ligong Garden is indispensable, and there are still some remains. Liu Ji is a double cultivator of Buddhism and Taoism. He once dug an artificial lake nearly two kilometers long. In the center of the lake, a medicine island was built. In addition, Liu Ji also built 28 temples, corresponding to 28 nights. Z1z
3. If you want to be extravagant, if you are wicked, it is a terrible thing, and the royal family is even worse. If Liu Ji's extravagance is more or less the "spiritual value" of asking immortals, his children and grandchildren cannot bear to look closely.
Liu Ding has the shortest reign, but his "contribution" is not low. This guy has two major hobbies: one is playing nude scenes, and the other is playing gambling. Liu Fei is lustful and still has a heavy taste. He likes "street girls" and often gathers a bunch of people to play "Meeting with sincerity" with him. Even during Liu Ji's funeral, she persisted.
Probably Liu Ding graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and loves body art. He also has a strange order: all ministers must undergo a strip-check procedure if they want to see him. The
game is to watch a group of strong men fight, and Liu Ting finally died on it. His younger brother Liu Sheng, a group of strong men, took advantage of his heavy drinking and gave him a "bonnet". However, the loose bones were never connected again, and Liu Ting became a pile of rotten meat that could not be supported.
Liu Sheng is a decent beast. One of his most beasts is to include all his nieces in his harem.
Liu Yun had to "check" a lot in this respect, so he raised a pig-a Persian maid named "Meizhu". Liu Yun is a "technical" emperor, and the country is handed over to others. He calls himself "Doctor Xiao San" and plays with "Pig" all day long.
is cruel and good to kill
Liu family ancestors are good at killing. If you can't smell blood, you will get upset. According to more information, three generations of emperors have a genetic disease that makes people scalp upset: they drool when they see killing!
1. Liu Ji's six punishments
Liu Ji in his later years became more cruel and always tortured his subjects. For this reason, he also became an inventor, inventing six types of torture: nasal injection, tongue cutting, dismantling, cracking, Baked and steamed.
2. Liu Sheng's brother
Liu Sheng nineteen, those eighteen brothers, in addition to two early deaths, one died on the battlefield, the remaining fifteen were all killed by Liu Sheng. Among them are the former emperor Liu Ting, and his political ally, the fifth brother Liu Hongchang. Except for these brothers, none of his nephews escaped his clutches.
In the imperial house, no one has ever done so "clean" like Liu Sheng.
3. Liu Yun killed his minister
After Liu Yun became a "diner" of Zhao Kuangyin, there was an old Zhao banquet for him to drink, and the guy was so scared to cry when he saw the glass. Liu Yun is bloodthirsty, not as rough as his father and grandfather, he likes to drink poison to the ministers the most. Seeing Zhao Kuangyin enjoying the wine at the moment, the scene was exactly the same as when he poisoned others.
Zhao Kuangyin chuckled, picked up the glass and drank it, making Liu Yun the first time in his life to understand what shame is.
Deformed politics
1. Eunuchs, court ladies, and witches in power
The dictatorship of eunuchs is common in ancient times, but like the Southern Han Dynasty, there is really no one who has complete control over state affairs. From Liu Sheng, the Southern Han Dynasty gradually became the eunuch's world.
Liu Yun is not only the ridiculous and shameless "master" of the Liu family, he is also an incompetent person. There is an eunuch named Gong Chengshu, who was granted special entry to Kaifuyitong Sansi, Wanhua Palace Envoy, and General Huqi. Re-appointed General, Zuo Longhu Jun to observe the armyRongshi, Taishi, military and political grasp.
There are still traces of the eunuch's dictatorship. The court ladies are in power and the witches are in politics. This kind of thing is Liu Yun's "unique skill." Liu Yun appointed a maid named Lu Qiongxian as the maid (ie the prime minister), and introduced a witch named Fan Huo to participate in political decision-making.
Fan Huo pretended to be a god, and claimed to be possessed by God. He deified Lu Qiongxian, Gong Chengshu, Chen Yanshou and others. They formed a small group to fool Liu Yun into three ways.
2. The most bizarre thing in history of scholar-bureaucrats from the palace
appeared. Liu Jun said that in this world, only eunuchs have no family business and are the most loyal to the emperor. Therefore, whoever wants to be promoted must first get rid of his lifeblood!
As long as there are interests, there will be moths to fight the fire. This ruling order did not make the Nan Han lack of officials. At one time, there were more than 20,000 eunuchs in the country.
Of course, Liu Yun quickly saw the loyalty of the eunuchs. In 971, when the Song army came to the city, Liu Yun prepared a dozen boats, filled with gold and silver treasures and beauties, and planned to be Robinson. But when he ran to the beach, he discovered that the loyal eunuchs had colluded with the guards and set sail ahead of time, leaving Liu Yun as a wooden stake.
Nan Han died just like that.
In fact, the natural conditions in the Southern Han Dynasty were very good. Before Liu Qi, his father Liu Qian and his brother Liu Yin had operated Lingnan for many years, which laid a solid political foundation for Liu Qi. Most of the time when Liu Ji was in power, he was also determined to pioneer, promote the imperial examination, and open up his voice, winning the support of the people and the gentry.
If Liu Ji did not fall into his ambitions in his later years and set up the Northern Expedition, and when the northern regime had no time to take care of the south, he would first annex Jingchu, Nanping, Minyue, and Nantang regimes. Who would dare to say that Zhao Kuangyin would be the last to laugh?
It is a miracle that a ridiculously peeing regime can survive more than half of the world with its financial resources.
