In the chaotic of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, , perhaps it was because of the deeds that followed, that it became a stain on history.
(1) The strange princes and princesses of the Liu Song Dynasty
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a dynasty called Southern Dynasties Liu Song. There was an emperor Song Xiaowu Emperor Liu Jun. He was most famous not for his political achievements, but for the fact that he gave birth to two children. His absurdity overshadowed all the princesses and princes.
Liu Jun has an eldest daughter named Liu Chuyu and an eldest son named Liu Ziye.
Liu Chuyu was the eldest princess and the most beautiful woman at that time, but what she left in history was not her beauty, but her lustfulness.
As the most beautiful girl, the eldest princess Liu Chuyu fell in love with Chu Yuan, the most beautiful man at that time. It was just a very unfortunate coincidence that Chu Yuan had already married a wife, and she was still married to Princess Xian of Nanjun, Liu Chuyu's aunt.
As an emperor, Liu Jun still wants to lose face. There is no way he would ruin his sister's marriage for the sake of his daughter.
Liu Chuyu, who could not get the most beautiful man, was extremely aggrieved and married the second most beautiful man at that time, He Jie.
This He Jie always deliberately imitated Chu Yuan in his speech and behavior at that time, so he was called Little Chu Gong.
Although Liu Chuyu didn't get himself, he at least got a substitute, but this was far from satisfying Liu Chuyu. However, Liu Jun was still alive at this time, and Liu Chuyu did not dare to be too presumptuous. It was not until Liu Jun passed away and Liu Chuyu's younger brother Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne that Liu Chuyu could finally let himself go boldly.
(2) The emperor drafted a talent show for his sister
After Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne, he began to be tyrannical, stupid, and dissolute. Liu Ziye faced all the beauties in the world and pocketed them all.
Seeing his biological brother living so happily, Liu Chuyu felt unbalanced. Why do you have a harem of three thousand, and I can only live with a substitute.
Liu Ziye knew his sister's troubles. As a good brother, Liu Ziye started a talent show for his sister. This time I chose not a beautiful woman, but a handsome man.
Liu Ziye chose thirty beauties for his sister and gave them to her sister. When Liu Chuyu saw thirty beauties, she smiled and accepted them all.
But even if she is weak, the only thing Liu Chuyu can't forget is Chu Yuan, Bai Yueguang. So Liu Ziye ordered Chu Yuan to serve Liu Chuyu, but Chu Yuan could not resist the order and had to come to Liu Chuyu's princess house.
Although Chu Yuan's people came, Chu Yuan didn't look down on Liu Chuyu's lewdness at all, and only regarded Liu Chuyu as air. In this way, from the princess's palace, a princess Liu Chuyu, a substitute prince-in-law He Jian, a Bai Yueguang Chu Yuan, and thirty handsome men lived a twisted life.
(3) Why was the substitute He Ji able to escape the disaster and die a good death?
During the time when he was imprisoned by Liu Chuyu, He Jie stayed with Chu Yuan alone. The two of them got along very well. Whether it was the Six Arts of Gentleman or chess, calligraphy and painting, the two always got along well. In this way, a substitute and a main character became good friends under the eyes of Liu Chuyu.
Finally, Liu Ziye’s atrocities were overthrown. Liu Ziye was killed, and Liu Chuyu was also killed. At the same time, the faces of the thirty Israeli servants were also beheaded. The only ones who survived were the substitute He Jian, and Bai Yueguang Chu Yuan.
After the death of Liu Ziye, his uncle Liu Yu the new emperor ascended the throne. Chu Yuan was trusted by Liu Yu and his official position rose all the way up.
He Jian, who got rid of Liu Chuyu, soon married a concubine and gave birth to a daughter, who eventually became the queen.
Because of Liu Chuyu, He Jian and Chu Yuan were able to meet each other. After Liu Chuyu's death, the two maintained a good relationship until their deaths, and both died in the same year.
The friendship between the pair, who are 11 years apart, blossoms in difficult times.
