In the history of China, most emperors felt great, "Laozi is the best in the world", and they didn't know what title to give themselves to show their dignity. After the unification of China, Qin Shihuang took the lead and felt that his contribution was greater than that of the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, so he took the "Emperor" of Huang San and the "Emperor" among the five Emperors as his own names and called it the "First Emperor". Later emperors were more "strong" than previous generations, adding words in front of the emperors to show their holiness. When they developed to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, they even called themselves "the emperor of emperor Gaozong's legal system, good luck, sincere understanding, great strength, great achievements and great filial piety", which was 27 words long. I don't know how many subjects have the ability to never forget to call him that. Other emperors, thinking that Cang Xie didn't have enough characters, simply made their own characters. Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in history, read the word "Zhao" in the name of "the sun shines on the sky". It is said that she also wrote a limerick for this word: "The sun shines on the sky" once became an emperor, I was the first in the world. "In the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, another emperor imitated Wu Zetian to create words for himself, becoming the only male emperor in the history of China to create words for himself.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Liu Li, the founding emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, whose real name was,, and his father Liu, and his mother Duan, were descendants of Liu Bang, the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty. Through the efforts of his father Liu, his brother Liu Yin and their three generations, he and his brother Liu Yin wiped out Quzhou Qu Hao and Liu's family in Guizhou by force at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Ji is tall and burly, good at riding and shooting, and superb in martial arts. Another feature is that he can bend his knees with his hands like Liu Bei, which is often described as a symbol of the emperor. But when Herry Liu became the Emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, he was not as wise as Sun Quan and Liu Bei. He was arrogant and contemptuously called the emperor of the later Tang Dynasty "the secretariat of Luozhou". He is extravagant and wasteful. It is said that when building Zhaoyang Hall, he used gold as the top and silver as the bottom, and also spent a lot of pearls, crystals and amber as decorations. Nine years after Liu Yi ascended the throne, he dreamed of "White Dragon Seeing the Nangong". He quickly took out the Book of Changes, calculated a hexagram, took the meaning of "flying dragon in the sky" in the Book of Changes, and created and invented the word "Li" (pronounced "acting") as his name.
Like Wu Zetian, who invented the word "flying", Liu Li, who claimed to be the "flying dragon in the sky", was also a Tyrannosaurus Rex beyond his predecessors. Liu Li in history was "shrewd and cruel" and was punished with a knife, saw, solved and vomited. Every time he kills someone, he is overjoyed and drooling. It is said that Liu Li likes to use some torture when executing people, such as branding, cutting his tongue, nasal irrigation, knife saw and so on. And at the time of execution, he also likes to watch, watch the scenes of murder, and watch the prisoners struggle painfully. He was still mumbling and drooling with joy. Everyone thought it was a monster reborn. Liu Li also invented a particularly heinous punishment called "water dungeon", which allowed people to catch many poisonous snakes and put them into the water, then pushed the guilty prisoners into the water and personally watched the poisonous snakes bite the prisoners to death. Its brutality is even worse than da ji's basin. What a sadist!
Before Liu Li ascended the throne, he made great achievements and won many battles. When you become an emperor, you will have the idea of "small wealth means security". Without the ambition to destroy the world, you will lose more and win less in the war. During the reign of Liu Li, a far-reaching event occurred in history, that is, the "Vietnam" independence event. It turns out that Liu Li's Southern Han Kingdom includes northern Vietnam, and ancient Vietnam is "an inseparable part of China's territory". However, under his rule for ten years, there was a sudden mutiny in Jiaozhou, Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Lishu killed the official in charge, and one side split, while the other led Wu Quan to attack Jiao Gongxian, who turned to Liu Li for help. Wu Quan occupied Jiaozhou from then on, and the dynasty established by Wu Quan was the Wu Dynasty in Vietnam, which was the beginning of Annan's departure from China.
However, after all, Liu Li was also the first emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty. In order to consolidate his rule, Liu Li has his own advantages in employing people. His greatest advantage is that he is very kind to scholars. First, the descendants of the ministers exiled here in the Tang Dynasty and the scholars who fled to the local area to escape the war were taken in and reused by him, surpassing Chai Jin, the "small whirlwind" in the water margin. The second is to follow the example of the previous dynasties, set up courses, select scholars, and let capable talents stand out. A scholar named Song Liang won the first prize in palace examination in the first year of Bailong and was awarded a bachelor's degree in imperial academy. However, he didn't like Liu Li's behavior and thought that "time often abuses politics", so he wrote an essay "Looking after children at the door" and "Begging for foster mothers". This reason not only didn't offend Liu Li, but also got rid of the cruel officialdom of "accompanying a gentleman like a tiger", which highlighted the intelligence of the "top scholar". Liu Li, the Lord of the Han Dynasty, said, "Be merciful and give him a generous reward", but Liang Songgu refused to accept it. "I only ask you to exempt the Duke of Zhou from the Ding Fu salary for one year." People don't protect you, but they also apply for tax exemption for one year in his hometown. Isn't that pushing your luck? But as a result, Liu Li "followed", which shows that Liu Li loves talents deeply; There is another story. There was a man named Wang who strongly opposed Liu Li's claim to the throne. Liu Li wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't want to get into trouble with Wang, so he sent him to Jingnan and proclaimed himself the emperor. When the king saw that he had come back with raw rice, he cooked it. He complained and laughed at Liu Li, and Liu Li didn't take it to heart.
The Dragon Emperor, who really created his own characters, is also one of the most superstitious emperors in the history of China. He loves the Book of Changes, and everything must be divined first. Even if you fight, you have to look at Feng Shui. Once, he won divination, which really increased his determination to believe in divination, just like the two Zhuge in the movie "Little Black Marry". On his deathbed, he calculated a divination according to the Book of Changes and said, "Call the left servant to shoot the king, but my descendants are worthless, and the future generations are like rats in the corner, and the potential is getting smaller and smaller." Liu Li deserves to be called the "real dragon", and his divination is accurate. His descendants are indeed inferior, and they are all tyrants. The five kings were in power for 67 years before they suffered the fate of national subjugation. Herry Liu, the last descendant, was more incompetent than Dou, the son of Liu Bei, and was painted like "autumn wind sweeping away leaves" by the generals. After Herry Liu surrendered, he was not only happy, but also asked Song Taizu to be the patriarch, making Liu Li, who claimed to be a "flying dragon in the sky", feel ashamed under the grave.
