Friends who are familiar with history probably know the late Jin emperor Shi Jingtang. As an envoy of the late Tang Dynasty, this gentleman was "blind" when he wanted to be emperor. In order to win the support of the northern forces Qidan, he not only generously ceded the dangerous place-sixteen states, but also shamelessly recognized the foreign monarch who was 10 years younger than himself as his father, calling himself "the son emperor", and finally got his wish, which also set a shameless "bottom line" for the emperors in the Central Plains.
As the saying goes, "milk is a mother", and Shi Jingtang, the "son emperor", derived this from his own actions as "power is a father". It is really chilling to fight for the position of emperor and break the bottom line of being a man. However, the ultimate fate of "Zidi" is tragic. Although he was obedient to the Khitan, he took whatever he wanted, "asking for instructions early and reporting later", but he was often criticized and accused by foreign masters. In particular, it was difficult to accommodate the refugees from Tuyuhun tribe, which became the "last straw" to crush Shi Jingtang's life and eventually made him die of grief.
Coincidentally, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was also a record of "Zi Di" in history, and his fate was legendary. Today, I want to tell you what kind of role this "second generation of Shi Jingtang" is. This "sub-emperor" recorded in history is Liu Jun, the second emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Liu Jun, formerly known as Liu Chengjun, was the first emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. His second son, to avoid cousin, Yin Di Liu Cheng of the later Han Dynasty? Respect taboos, so it was renamed Liu Jun .. Liu Jun was a studious and enterprising young man in literature and art when he was young, especially for his good handwriting and calligraphy. The New History of the Five Dynasties called him "studious and meticulous in writing". In 95 1 year, Guo Wei, a general of the later Han Dynasty, was killing Liu Cheng? After that, the founding of the People's Republic proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Cheng? Uncle Liu? F with the help of the influence of the Khitans, he proclaimed himself emperor in Hedong, known as the Northern Han Dynasty in history. Because of your big brother Liu? At this time, he was injured by Guo Wei, so Liu Jun naturally became Chu Jun's "best choice" in Northern Han Dynasty.
Dad became the emperor and became the mayor of the capital-Taiyuan Yin, actually Chu Jun Liu? F was in power for three years, and the lady counterattacked the south and restored the Han Dynasty here, but after all, her arms couldn't twist her thighs. Gao Ping was defeated by the younger generation's children and Zhou Shizong's Chai Rong. His face was lost and broke into pieces. Before long, he was ashamed and resentful, and became a pig's tail, leaving only Liu Junlai to inherit the seat.
In 954 AD, Liu Jun accepted the conferring of the Liao State and officially became the emperor. In order to please and woo Liao, he decided to "learn modestly" from veteran Shi Jingtang and become a "child emperor". According to historical records, Liu Jun called himself "Gong" every time he went to the desk of the Emperor of Liao, and when the Emperor of Liao wrote a letter, he directly called Liu Jun "Zi Di". Liu Jun was 28 when he acceded to the throne. At this time, Lu Ye, the emperor of Liao? Only 23 years old, five years younger than Liu Jun, and the older one is called Dad. Both sides are happy and not embarrassed. This picture can make people drunk just by thinking about it. ...
Liu Jun was in office for 14 years, and Guo Wuwei was appointed as the prime minister, who was diligent, loved the people, respected the literati and reduced the invasion to the south. So the domestic situation is stable, and he is basically a good emperor. However, Emperor Liu Jun was really uncomfortable. Needless to say, it was beaten by the Hou Zhou and the Northern Song Dynasty from time to time. Even his own "godmother" always finds fault and is easily accused, which makes this gentleman very unhappy. Finally, three things annoyed Liao: changing the title of the country, sheltering Li Jun, a rebel in the Northern Song Dynasty, and killing Duan Chang, a powerful minister.
"Fuck Lao Zi" is very angry and the consequences are very serious. With the above three things, Liu Jun kept scolding Liu Jun, and Liu Jun sent several people to Liao to "plead guilty". Although my head was smashed and I said everything, I still didn't get the understanding of "Fuck Lao Zi". The history books say that "if the Khitan does not report, it will naturally make the Khitan stay and not send". Liu Jun fell ill in a hurry and anger, and soon went to see the prince to cancel his accounts. At the age of 42, he is so timid!
After talking about the topic of "Zidi", let's extend it and talk about a variant of the title of "Zidi"-"Nephew Di"
The "nephew emperor", as its name implies, defines the relationship between the two countries as "the country of uncles and nephews" and calls itself "nephew emperor". Although it doesn't look as harsh as "Zi Di", it is actually equally unbearable. In the history of China, three people claimed to be "nephew emperors" of other emperors, namely Liu Shizu of the Northern Han Dynasty. F, the southern song dynasty filial piety Zhao? Y of Ningzong in Southern Song Dynasty and Zhao's expansion.
Liu? F When the People's Republic of China was founded, in order to get the support of Liao, it was a country of father and son. F called Emperor Liao "uncle emperor" and called himself "nephew emperor". Liu? F was 55 years old, while Ruan, the emperor of Liao at that time, was only 34 years old and was fully qualified to be the father of the latter. However, what about Liu? Father F still calls his nephew Ruan his son and nephew, and even gives up his face to get close to his thigh. ...
Zhao? After Y ascended the throne, he decided to explore the North and appointed veteran Zhang Jun as the commander-in-chief, with the intention of going north to the Central Plains and recovering his homeland. It's a pity that the general is not in harmony and it is difficult to give orders. Fu was defeated by the nomads from the first world war. Xiaozong, egged on by Emperor Taizong and others, had to expel Zhang Jun, and at the same time made peace with Jin, known as Longxing. There is a provision in the peace agreement that the relationship between Jin and Song was changed from the country of monarch and minister to the country of uncle, from 34-year-old Zhao? Y is not ashamed of 38-year-old uncle Wan, but it is also a helpless kindness to save Jiangnan from the war.
After Song Xiaozong's grandson Ningzong ascended the throne, he also made a Northern Expedition, which was called "Kathy's Northern Expedition" in history, and the result was also bring disgrace to oneself. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, Song and Jin resumed the peace talks, reaffirming the terms of "Longxing Peace Talks" that Jin and Song were the country of uncles, and those of the same age were called uncles, which was even more shameful. But at this time, the state of Jin was a spent force, and it was too late for Mongolia to invade the south. Therefore, after the peace talks, Jin could no longer invade the south on a large scale, and the court of the Southern Song Dynasty quickly abandoned the peace talks and abolished the clause that Jin and Song were the country of uncles.
In fact, whether it is a "son emperor" or a "nephew emperor", although the Ninth Five-Year Plan is the highest, it is always crooked and disgraceful, and fate is so timid. Therefore, we advise those who "Shi Jingtang has no N", those who don't respect their superiors and have no bottom line, to learn from the past and not delay for life will only increase the ridicule of the world.
