The achievements of his works in this period far exceeded those in the previous period, which can be described as "masterpieces". Famous works such as Young Beauty, Langtaosha and Huihuan were all made at this time. Most of the ci works in this period are based on sadness, mainly describing the scene of dreaming back through the barrier and expressing infinite nostalgia for the past. So some people say: Li Yu is not a good emperor, but a good poet. Li Yu occupies an important position in the history of China's Ci, and is known as the "Emperor of Ci", which has a great influence on later generations.

During this period, he once called himself Zhong You, a hermit in Zhongfeng and a layman in Lianfeng, indicating that his interest lies in the beautiful mountains and rivers, and he has no intention of competing with his elder brother.
In 959 AD, Li Hongji killed his uncle Li Jingsui (Li Jingsui said he would die with his brother at the beginning of his reign), and soon died suddenly. After Li Hongji's death, Li Jing wanted to make Li Yu a prince. Zhong Mo said, "I am timid and self-respecting, but I believe in explaining my family background, not my talents. Being kind, courageous and dignified, it is appropriate to be an heir. " Excavate was furious, made an excuse, demoted Zhong You as a national son, exiled to Raozhou, made Li Yu a prince, a minister and a politician, and let him live in the East Palace.

After Li Yu's death, he was buried in North Mangshan, Luoyang. A few weeks later, he was heartbroken and died soon.
Li Yu "was born in the palace and grew up in the hands of women", "sexual forgiveness and injustice", and he gave up killing. After his death, Jiangnan people heard that "all lanes are crying and fasting."
Li Yu is brilliant, skillful in painting, good at poetry and ode, and is a generation of poets who have been told through the ages. I didn't intend to fight for power and profit, but I longed for seclusion. Ascending to the throne was a complete accident. He hates being born into a royal family. Merits and demerits have become the track of history.
By the time he ascended the throne, the Southern Tang Dynasty had served Song Zhengshuo, paid tribute to the Song Dynasty many times and settled in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. In the seventh year of Song Kaibao (974), Song Taizu sent letters to the north many times, but he refused to leave. In October of the same year, Song Bing went south to attack Jinling.

In the early stage, most of his poems were about the pleasure and quiet life in the palace, with a soft style, but this is not the life he yearns for, but mostly emptiness and helplessness; The later poems reflect the pain of national subjugation and enlarge the subject matter. It means that Li Yu's Weibei Ci [1] is profound and sincere, with fresh language and artistic appeal. Later generations compiled his and Li Jing's works into two major ci poems in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the early days of his reign, the style of his poems was beautiful and soft, and he did not get rid of the habit of "flowers". After the national subjugation, in the house arrest career of "Everyday Lacrimosa", the king of national subjugation became the "Southern King" of the eternal ci circle (in the words of Qing Shenxiong's "Ancient and Modern Thorns"), which is precisely because "the unfortunate poet of the country is lucky, and the words of vicissitudes of life begin to work"

In Ming Dynasty, Shen Defu wrote Xiao Zhou after Xiling was lucky: "In Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizong painted Xiao Zhou after Xiling was lucky, with a hoe on his head, pale face and fat body. After the worship, the limbs were delicate, and several imperial envoys held them and frowned after a week.
