Liu Sheng is a famous tyrant in history. He is politically cruel. He not only killed the prince indiscriminately, but also abused the people at will. In addition, he built a hell on earth, but all the instruments of torture, such as boiling water pots and iron beds, can be used. Its brutality is no less than that of Gao Yang, the founding emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Besides, Liu Sheng showed no concern for his brother. He wiped out all his brothers in the past few years.
The first victim was his third brother Liu Jie, the second emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty. Shortly after Liu Fu assisted Liu Jue, he began to usurp the throne, so he carefully planned a plot to assassinate Liu Jue.
On the evening of the eighth day of July in the second year of Guangtian, Liu feasted with the kings in Changchun Palace and watched the wrestling until late at night. Liu Xuan is drunk. Thinking that the time had finally come, he ordered Chen Daoyao, the samurai Liu Ideological trend and others to kill Liu Xie while he was unconscious. He was twenty-four years old and killed all his followers. And his planners are his fifth brother Liu Hongchang and his tenth brother Liu Honggao.
The next day, Liu Hongchang, the King of Yue, took your brothers to Liu Sheng's bedroom, met the Emperor Liu Sheng, and was pardoned. Among them, Liu Hongchang and Liu Honggao were named marshal and deputy marshal by Liu Shengjia respectively, and their brother Liu Jue was named Shang Emperor by posthumous title.
Although Liu Sheng became the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty in a dragon chair, his name was not justified, but he was afraid that the people would not accept it and the throne would not be guaranteed, so Liu Sheng continued to kill. Anyone who poses a threat to himself, or who he thinks poses an obstacle to himself, Liu Sheng has no mercy, killing or cutting them down, and then sending them all to hell. What is more serious is collective punishment.

The next victim is his tenth brother Liu Honggao. Shortly after Liu Honggao was killed, Liu Sheng waved a butcher knife at his fifth brother Liu Hongchang. At first, they planned to kill Liu Jue and build Liu Sheng with Liu Sheng, and they made great contributions. They never thought that they would be Halloween in Liu Sheng.

They were killed because of Liu Sheng's suspicion. However, the specific process of their killing is unknown in historical records.
Since then, he has been silent for seven years and twelve years. He killed his twelfth brother, Gao Hongming. The following year, in the thirteenth year, Liu Sheng killed Liu Hongzheng, Wang Tong's eighteenth brother. At this point, Liu Sheng's brothers were wiped out by him.

His tyrannical behavior almost reached the point where people and gods were angry together.
