Chapter 1: The Rebellion of the Eight Kings

"Farewell to Chen Zhangfu"

Li Qi (Tang Dynasty)

The south wind blows in April, the barley turns yellow, and the jujube flowers have not fallen yet, and the tung leaves are growing.

Farewell to the green mountains in the morning and see each other again in the evening, neighing horses and going out to miss the old hometown.

Chen Hou's body is so magnanimous, his beard and eyebrows are still broad.

There are ten thousand volumes of books stored in my belly, and I refuse to bow my head in the grass.

I drink wine at the east gate, my heart is as light as a feather.

I lie drunk and don't know the sunset. Sometimes I look at the solitary clouds in the sky.

The waves on the long river were so dark that the boat stopped at Jinkou and could not cross.

The tourists from the state of Zheng did not reach home, and their journey to Luoyang was empty and they sighed.

I have many acquaintances in my old forest after hearing the Tao. What happened yesterday and today when I was dismissed from office?

In 291 AD, Queen Jia Nanfeng secretly ordered Chu King Sima Wei to enter the capital. Sima Wei killed the Taifu and the head of the country Yang Jun. Sima Yi's fourth son, Sima Liang, King of Runan, took the opportunity to take power. Jia Nanfeng also instigated Sima Wei to kill Sima Liang.

Afterwards, Jia Nanfeng put the blame on Sima Wei, saying that he was acting falsely, so he ordered Sima Wei to be killed.

King Zhao Sima Lun contacted the imperial army to launch a coup, deposed Jian Nanfeng, and also controlled Emperor Sima Zhong, monopolizing power by himself. Not long after, he simply gave his nephew Sima Zhong the throne to himself, and he proclaimed himself emperor

Became emperor.

The other three princes were unbalanced. The King of Qi, the King of Hejian, and the King of Chengdu called on the soldiers and horses from all over the world to jointly attack Sima Lun. Several soldiers and horses fought for dozens of days under Luoyang City, with more than 100,000 casualties. In the end, King Sima of Qi

Jiong invaded Luoyang City, killed Sima Lun, and once again supported Sima Zhong to restore his position as emperor. He named himself Grand Sima and continued to have autocratic power.

Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, was guarding Chang'an. He persuaded Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, who was in Luoyang, to oppose Sima Yi. Sima Yong's original calculation was that Sima Yi would definitely fail, and then he could find an excuse to raise an army. He never wanted to

Thinking of it, Sima Yi actually succeeded in assassinating Sima Juan. He became the prime minister and began to monopolize power.

Sima Yong was so angry that he sent out several waves of assassins, but none of them succeeded. Finally, he sent his general to lead 70,000 troops to attack Luoyang. Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, personally led 200,000 troops to help. Sima Yi was so brave that he attacked the two groups.

The whole army was killed and retreated.

But history always surprises people. Sima Yue, Sima Yi's great-nephew, was serving as a servant at the time. He secretly entered the military camp at night, tied up Sima Yi, and then handed it over to Sima Ying. After Sima Ying entered the city, he was abolished.

He became the crown prince and called himself the crown prince and the prime minister. However, he did not stay in Luoyang, but continued to return to his base of Yecheng, where he controlled the government affairs.

Sima Yue took a look and said, I have spent a long time and got nothing, and you have taken advantage in vain. Then he proclaimed himself the governor, because he had the idiot emperor Sima Zhong in his hands, so he held the emperor hostage and summoned 100,000 troops for the Northern Expedition.

Sima Ying. Seeing this situation, Sima Ying began to panic. At this moment, one of Sima Ying's subordinates stood up and claimed that he had a way to defeat the enemy.

This man is Liu Yuan, he is a Huns. Liu Yuan asked Sima Ying to give him some soldiers and horses, and asked him to go back to Hedong to summon five Xiongnu tribes to help in the war. Sima Ying was very happy and made him the Danyu of the North.

, and agreed to his request.

Now Liu Yuan was like a dragon entering the abyss, no longer needing to be restrained by others. After he led his men away, he called himself the Xiongnu Great Chanyu in Lishinan, Shanxi Province today. In just two months, he summoned

He gathered 5,000 people and called himself the King of Han. He didn't care about Sima Ying's life or death.

Sima Ying and Sima Yue fought in Tangyin, and Sima Yue finally failed. Sima Zhong was captured by Sima Ying, and Sima Zhong was detained in Yecheng.

Sima Yue's younger brother Sima Teng joined forces with Zhenbei general Wang Jun to attack Sima Ying. Wang Jun's daughter married Duan Jiliu, the leader of the Xianbei Duan tribe. The Duan tribe sent troops to assist, and Sima Ying was defeated by the coalition forces.

After Sima Ying failed, he still didn't forget to hold on to the idiot emperor Sima Zhong. The two brothers fled to Luoyang together. Sima Yong sent his generals to escort the two brothers to Chang'an. Afterwards, Sima Yong deposed Sima Ying.

The position of the emperor's younger brother calls himself Prime Minister.

In 305 AD, Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, led his army to invade Chang'an and killed Sima Ying, Sima Yong, and Sima Zhong. Sima Yue was just Sima Yi's grandnephew. Originally, he only had six counties in his territory. Unexpectedly, he became

The one who had the last laugh was the one who had the last laugh. In 307 AD, he made another son of Sima Yan, Sima Chi, the emperor. This was Emperor Huai of Jin. So far, the Eight Kings Rebellion, which lasted for 16 years, came to an end.

Although the Eight Kings' Rebellion within the Jin Dynasty ended, the external minority uprisings that accompanied the Eight Kings' Rebellion continued.

First, in 296 AD, the Di people Qi Wannian revolted in Jingyang. In 302 AD, the Ba Di people Li Te revolted in Shuzhong. In 303 AD, Zhang Chang proclaimed himself emperor in Anlu. In 304 AD, Liu Yuan rebelled in Hedong.

In 305 AD, Shi Le summoned a group of desperadoes to run rampant in Jizhou. In 306 AD, Wang Mi and Liu Bogen rebelled in Qingzhou, etc. In short, with the rebellion of the Eight Kings, the world was once again in chaos.

Among them, Liu Yuan is a descendant of the Xiongnu. At that time, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu was expelled from the Fuluo people and went to Luoyang to complain. However, the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time was facing the Yellow Turban Uprising and had no time to take care of itself. He was blocked by the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Hedong area. Even if he could arrive successfully

Luoyang, I'm afraid he won't get any help. After he stayed in Hedong, he became the king of the mountain here. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie returned to Luoyang from Chang'an. Cao Cao welcomed Liu Xie to Xudu, and Yu Fuluo also sent a blessing

The wise king came to greet him and was commended by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty officially approved them to live in the Hedong area. Later, Yu Fuluo died and his younger brother succeeded him, but was placed under house arrest in Yecheng by Cao Cao. And

He divided his tribe into five tribes, canceled the leader's title of Shanyu, and gave Qubei the command. In order to please the Han Dynasty, Qubei ordered all his descendants to be named Liu. Yu Fuluo's son was named Liu Xiong, Liu Xiong

His son is Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan deceived Sima Ying and proclaimed himself king after escaping from him. But many people will wonder why he, a Huns, calls himself the King of Han?

This is because the Han Dynasty has existed for hundreds of years. After experiencing the wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the people continued to endure so many years of wars without getting any rest. Moreover, the Han Dynasty has only been destroyed for 40 years. Everyone is still

Missing the Han Dynasty. At that time, many rebels changed their surnames to Liu and claimed to be descendants of the Queen of the Han Dynasty. Liu Yuan was no exception. He also wanted to use the banner of the Han Dynasty to make his name justifiable. He also followed the emperors of the Han Dynasty.

Let’s talk about Shi Le next. This person is a Jiehu people, and this nation is white. They originally lived in the Western Regions, but were later destroyed by the Huns, and the entire nation became the slaves of the Huns. Later, the Huns surrendered to the Han people, and the Huns naturally

They also surrendered to the Han people. The men of this nation are very strong and the women are very fair. Therefore, the dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty liked to buy them as slaves. Shi Le was an ordinary slave and was resold several times.

.

Because he had such an experience, he learned from it and decided to change his destiny. His ambition was to change from a trafficked person to a trafficker, but he suffered from no capital. He thought of trafficking because there were many hungry people at that time who could not afford food.

Rice, you can trick them away with just a little temptation.

But Shi Le had just made up his mind and was arrested by the Jin army before he could implement it. The reason is very simple. There are people in the army who are also doing this business, and Shi Le is robbing their business. How could they agree? After Shi Le was arrested,

The lute bone was almost penetrated.

Later, after Shi Le escaped, he gathered 18 of his men, and together they started to live as bandits, robbing homes and houses. Later, wars broke out frequently, and Shi Le saw so many people rising up in rebellion, and he realized that this was a promising thing.

At least it had a better future than being a bandit, so he joined the rebel team.

Insights on life: Looking back at history, all the great figures were students of suffering, and all achieved brilliance through untold hardships. For these great men, we may be able to say that only when their lives end,

They have just begun to be born. Heaven was created for those losers in this world. So, what is it that tempers the deepest and noblest thoughts of mankind? It is not human knowledge, not business behavior, and not emotional impulse, but

It's suffering.

If luck and happiness are the goals of life, then suffering is an indispensable condition for achieving this goal.

Shelley said: The most unfortunate people have been raised by suffering to become poets, and they use poetry to teach others what they have learned from suffering. So some people say that suffering is often happiness disguised.

Everything life gives us is precious wealth. The key is that we must learn to face it. If we only regard suffering as suffering, then it is really just a kind of suffering. But if we compare it with the suffering in the spiritual world,

When the land is combined, it will become a precious nutritional material and will surely cultivate a happy life. So don’t be picky about what life gives us, even if it gives us a bitter fruit, as long as we taste it with our hearts,
