Liu Yilong, the Yuanjia Ruler of the Iron-Blooded Southern and Northern Dynasties

A story about Liu Yu and his son's efforts to stabilize the south of the Yangtze River and the northern expedition to the Central Plains. Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yu, put down domestic rebellions three times and made two northern expeditions to the Central Plains, which frightened the northern countries. Liu Song had the opportunity to unify the Central Plains, but unfortunately he missed the best opportunity because Liu Yu replaced the Jin and established the Song Dynasty. After Liu Yu's death, the second son Liu Yizhen and the crown prince Liu Yifu fought for power, and both were deposed and killed by the entrusted ministers. The third son Liu Yilong came to the throne, kept a low profile, overthrew powerful officials internally, and launched another Northern Expedition externally. The situation was unfavorable, and the three Northern Expeditions all failed miserably. Due to the changes in power in the country, rebellions broke out three times. Jiangnan under Liu Yilong's "Yuanjia Rule" maintained peace for thirty years. Liu Yilong was brutally murdered, and Jiangnan fell into chaos again.
