Good noon for everyone! Ziyuan has introduced many interesting stories about ancient prodigy, which aroused strong interest from readers. Today, let’s talk about the story of the Southern Dynasties prodigy Liu Ziluan . Speaking of which, although Liu Ziluan's life was short, it was extremely legendary. He was named king at the age of five and was appointed as prime minister at the age of eight. He was sentenced to death at the age of ten. His last words before his death became a well-known eternal famous quote.
▲ Stills of Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun
Liu Ziluan, the fifth emperor of the Liu Song regime of the Southern and Northern Dynasties - the son of Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun of Song Dynasty, formerly abolished emperor Liu Ziye is his eldest brother. During Liu Jun's reign, he ignored the ethics of the rules and regulations and forcibly included his cousin (Liu Yixuan, a daughter of the Nanjun Prince) in the palace and was named Shuyi. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he changed his surname to Yin, which is known in history as " Yin Shuyi," and was called " Yin Shuyi," which was called " Yin Shuyi," in history. Yin Shuyi soon favored the harem and gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor Liu Ziluan after the third year of Xiaojian (456 AD). Liu Jun also favored Liu Ziluan very much. It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Ziluan grew up with a golden key in her arms since she was a child. Even though her mother later died of illness, Liu Ziluan still lived a happy life of love. When he was five years old, Liu Ziluan was named King of Xiangyang and later changed to King of Xin'an.

After Yin Shuyi passed away, Liu Jun transferred his love for his cousin to the six-year-old Liu Ziluan. The latter was appointed as the Situ and the governor of the military affairs of Nanxuzhou, and was also appointed as the Minister of Central Secretariat (one of the prime ministers). Later, he became the General of the Northern Central Army, the Governor of Nanlangya, and the Prefect of Nanlangya. At this time, Liu Ziluan was only 8 years old and became the de facto prime minister. He was at a high position and had multiple positions at a young age, which shows how much he favored him in . According to historical records, Liu Jun once wanted to enthrone Liu Ziran as the crown prince, but in the end he gave up the idea of appointing the young and deposed the elders under the fierce opposition of the ministers. However, it was Liu Jun's excessive favor that brought disaster to this young child.

In order to surrender the throne, countless brothers turned against each other and slaughtered each other. For the crown prince, as long as someone dares to be interested in the throne that belongs to him in the future, even close brothers must be eliminated. After Liu Jun's death, Crown Prince Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne and immediately issued an edict to kill Liu Ziran, who was only ten years old. Such a young child actually has no threat to the throne. However, the reason why Liu Ziluan was sentenced to death was not only because of Liu Ziye's cruel personality and jealous of his younger brother's favor, but also because of Liu Ziye's personal experience.
▲ Stills from Liu Ziye's reign as the prince
On the 17th day of the first lunar month (449 AD), Liu Ziye was born. Two years later, Liu Jun was ordered to quell the rebellion of Liu Shao. Liu Ziye was detained by Emperor Wen of Song Liu Yilong to Jianye as his host. During the period when the Ministry of Education was policing, Liu Ziye was persecuted many times and almost died. Fortunately, he was eventually defeated. After Liu Jun ascended the throne, Liu Ziye was made the crown prince. Because of his childhood life as a proton, Liu Ziye's psychology gradually distorted and his personality became more extreme. After moving into the Eastern Palace, Liu Ziye was often scolded by his father. During Liu Jun's Western Tour, Liu Ziye wrote a letter to his father to report his daily life. His handwriting was not rigorous. Emperor Xiaowu scolded him, "If you don't improve your calligraphy, this is the only thing you hear. I heard that you are lazy and your cruelty is getting worse and worse. Why are you stubborn?" The general idea was to criticize him for his sloppy calligraphy and not improving. This is a bad habit. I also heard that he has always been lazy and is more urgent and violent, and asked why he is so stubborn.

Liu Ziye, who has a flaw in his personality, saw that his eighth brother Liu Ziluan had been favored by his father since he was a child, and his official position and treatment were no less than that of the prince, so he became more and more jealous of him. At the beginning of his ascension, he retaliated against Liu Ziluan, who was only ten years old. In addition to killing Liu Ziluan, Liu Ziye did not let go of other brothers and sisters, and almost killed them all. According to historical records, Liu Ziluan had a very calm expression when facing the poisoned wine sent by her brother. Before her death, she said to her left and right: "I wish I will never be reborn in the Wang family." This sad and tearful sentence was said by a ten-year-old child, and it was touching the hearts of people and eventually became a famous saying that has been passed down to this day.
