Ziyuan Liu's mother's name is Yin Shuyi. Originally, it was not Yin, but Liu. She is also the cousin of Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty. She is very beautiful, and under the attention of Liu Jun, she became the imperial concubine. Afraid of being criticized, she changed her surname to Yin. Liu Jun likes Yin Shuyi very much. He gave birth to five sons and one daughter for Emperor Xiaowu, including Ziyuan Liu. Later, after the death of Yin Shuyi, Emperor Xiao was very sad. Emperor Xiaowu didn't want to bury her in order to see her.
In fact, Ziyuan Liu is not the first prince of filial piety, ranking eighth. Because Emperor Xiaowu loves Yin Shuyi very much, he also loves Ziyuan Liu very much. At that time, Emperor Xiaowu even planned to make Ziyuan Liu a prince. However, what Xiao Wudi didn't expect was that it was because of his love that Ziyuan Liu was finally killed. Liu was an uneducated person since he was a child, so he never got the favor of filial piety, which also made him hate Liu's guts.
Nevertheless, Liu was named King of Xiangyang at the age of five, and was soon named King of Xin 'an, and even became the secretariat of South Xuzhou. As a matter of fact, Liu has already killed. When Emperor Xiao was alive, he was sheltered by Emperor Xiao, and Liu did not dare to make a difference. After the death of Emperor Xiaowu, Liu naturally became the next emperor according to the eldest son inheritance system. After that, Liu killed his brother without hesitation. Liu is a very cruel emperor. He ordered the arrest of Liu. Although a minister pleaded with Liu, Liu insisted on killing him. Ziyuan Liu was also very calm before he died, saying, "I would rather not be resurrected in the royal family." . This sentence has also spread to today and become an eternal famous saying. It is worth mentioning that Liu not only killed but also killed other brothers and sisters.
