After Sima Yue died, brothers Yu Bing and Yu Yi originally wanted to establish Sima Yu as Emperor Jianwen, but He Chong was determined and pushed Sima Yue's two-year-old son to the throne.
The dispute between He Chong and the Yu brothers over who should be emperor was said to be mostly for personal gain, but compared to He Chong, Gou Xiong preferred the Yu brothers.
In such troubled times, there is no majesty for a baby to stand up. It is already a troubled world, and it takes a domineering and talented person to settle the chaos, but a woman and a baby are allowed to be in power. This is just a joke.
of?!
It would be okay if Empress Dowager Chu had Wu Zetian's talents, but she was just an ordinary woman. She was said to be an assistant in the government, but in fact, he Chong was in charge.
He Chong was a mediocre person according to historical evaluation. Most of the people he was close to were mediocre and messy, and he could not be trusted. He also loved Buddhism, built major temples, supported hundreds of monks, and wasted hundreds of millions without hesitation.
Putting aside his mediocre talents, he passed away two years after Sima Dan succeeded to the throne.
If he had listened to Yu Bing and Yu Yi, Sima Yu was at least an adult. Even if his assistants passed away one after another, he would still be able to handle the affairs of the government. Compared with a baby, he would be less controlled by others.
The Yu brothers once said: If a country has strong enemies, it is appropriate to establish a eldest king. However, He Chong purely focused on fighting for his own interests and never considered the future development of the Jin Dynasty.
These two things are also the reasons why Xiong Xiong prefers Yu.
He Chong believed that the people who could be used were either wise enough to protect themselves and determined not to join the court, or they were ordinary people with average abilities.
It was for his own personal grudge that when He Chong suppressed the Yu family, he knew clearly that Jing and Chu were important and that Huan Wen had ambitions, so he handed these two important places over to Huan Wen, although Sima Yu was also responsible——
This point has been mentioned before when talking about Huan Wen, so I won’t repeat it here.
Based on this incident alone, even if He Chong is not a mediocre person, he is still a narrow-minded person. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise, he may be worse than when Wang Dao was in power.
Gou Xiong believed that this situation provided an opportunity for Huan Wen to emerge.
If it was during the reign of Emperor Jin Ming and the Yu brothers, Sima Shao and Yu Liang were in charge of government affairs, and there were Wen Qiao and others in the military department, so Huan Wen would definitely have nothing to do.
Lu Simian said:
Huan Wen repeatedly defeated the enemy in his northern expedition because of the foreshadowing of Yu Liang and Yu Yi. However, Huan Wen wanted to support himself, so he did not try his best in the Northern Expedition. If Liang and Yi were exchanged with Huan Wen, Liang and Yi would be better
Being fair and loyal, under the circumstances of the Huan Wen period, the achievements of the two brothers must be different from those of Huan Wen.
The Yu brothers have been operating in Jingdi for many years and must have accumulated a lot of resources. It is true that "the predecessors planted trees and the latter will enjoy the shade", but this descendant is not a good person.
After the Jin Dynasty moved to the south, the rebels were the Hu people and the Shu people. Hu was strong and Shu was weak. The Yu brothers were determined to pacify the Hu people, but they were not interested in Shu. They mostly focused on prevention.
But Huan Wen's ambition is to expand his own power. To expand his power, he must first establish fame;
It became "defeat Shu".
There is an idiom called "build meritorious deeds", and only by establishing meritorious deeds can a career be achieved.
If the Yu brothers had first pacified Shu and gained more say in the court without too much control, and then tried to pacify Hu, it would have been a different story, and Yu Liang would not have been too early.
Let it end in melancholy.
See, we can learn a lot from history, and these can guide us in the future.
After the death of Emperor Mu of Jin Dynasty, Sima Dan, Emperor Cheng of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan's son, Emperor Ai of Jin Dynasty, Sima Pi, succeeded to the throne.
This period was very unstable. There were Huan Wenwen and Hou Qin, as well as various "Yan" people wandering around. It was even more chaotic than during the Jin and Ming emperors Sima Shao's period.
In such a chaotic situation, our dear classmate Sima Pi was bent on seeking immortality. He didn’t know where he got it from, or the method he heard. He didn’t eat, just took various medicines, and then gave himself up in the west hall of Tai Chi Hall.
Poisoned to death...
There are people in modern times who are similar to Sima Pi. He doesn't eat, he doesn't go to a good hospital, he just takes random food, and it's nonsense to say that he can cure all diseases. Don't think about it, how can he know if he takes this pill in his stomach?
Whether it is high blood pressure, low blood pressure, or diabetes, AI intelligence is not that powerful.
It is also said that both high blood pressure and low blood pressure can be treated. Think about it, how is it possible? From a common sense point of view, different medicines are used to treat different diseases. How can one medicine treat both high blood pressure and low blood pressure?
.
Don't learn from classmate Sima Pi, people are like iron rice or steel, rice is the best medicine, eating well is better than spending money to buy messy food, and don't listen to the deceptive words of the modern version of "Sun Tai"
, go to a regular hospital for a good examination, and receive treatment according to the doctor's instructions. If you don't have time or are too lazy to exercise specifically, you can go shopping more, take a walk and exercise at the same time, and kill two birds with one stone.
We are all mortals, so we should be mortals well. We should eat, drink and play as we should, and enjoy the happiness of a mortal.
Classmate Sima Pi poisoned himself to death involuntarily, and his younger brother Sima Yi, the deposed emperor of Jin, succeeded to the throne.
At this time, Huan Wen was more powerful and had always wanted to depose Sima Yi and ascend the throne himself as emperor. However, Sima Yi was careful and made no mistakes, so Huan Wen could not find an excuse to depose him.
Sima Yi had been the emperor for six years. Huan Wen probably felt that he was getting older and couldn't afford to spend time with this boy. He actually said that Sima Yi was better than Long Yang, and then he was deposed. Humph, Huan Wen
This is urgent.
After Sima Yi was deposed, some people used his name to raise troops to oppose the imperial court. In order to avoid suspicion, Sima Yi closed his doors and thanked guests, and lived in seclusion. Even though someone later came to Sima Yi's residence and said that he had received a secret edict from the Queen Mother to welcome him back to Beijing for restoration.
Sima Yi didn't go either.
At this time, Huan Wen was not dead yet and still controlled the government. If Sima Yi dared to go back, he would die without even a chance to struggle.
Sima Yi also understood that restoration was hopeless, but since some people dared to come and talk about restoration, he was afraid of attracting the plague god Huan Wen, so he behaved mediocrely and indulged in drinking and sex at home all day long in order to seek peace.
In our opinion, the emperor is superior and no one dares to blaspheme. However, whenever a dynasty is about to end, we see that the emperor is controlled by powerful ministers, and there is no majesty of the emperor. It makes us feel a little sad.
, even if you want to make a difference, you don’t have the environment to support it.
For example, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that - because Xiong Xiong has not yet learned about the Ming Dynasty in detail - after Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he wanted to change the situation at that time. However, the Ming Dynasty at that time was already like mud in a mud pit. Not only
It's smelly and can't be fished out. It's not a situation that he can resolve by himself.
It must have been a difficult life to live like this, so Sima Yi died of illness when he was forty-five years old.
As mentioned before, Huan Wen deposed Sima Yi, the deposed Emperor of Jin, and supported a puppet emperor, Sima Yu, Emperor Wen of Jin Jian.
But Sima Yu is now in his fifties. When he is not in his position, he can still pretend not to see some things and not think about them. But in this position, he can't even pretend to be deaf and dumb, let alone Sima Yu.
Yu was not just a man who pretended to be deaf and dumb. He only reigned for eight months before he collapsed in grief and anger.
Later, his son, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yao, succeeded to the throne.
Lu Simian's evaluation of Sima Yao was that he was very stupid and weak, and had no ability to put down rebellions.
Soon after Sima Yao succeeded to the throne, Huan Wen died of illness. However, Sima Yao was only eleven years old. The Chu family who had assisted Sima Dan, Emperor Mu of Jin Dynasty, came to assist Sima Yao. However, the real power was represented by Xie An.
Mastered by the Xie family of Chen County.
Xie An, Xie Xuan and his son, defeated the former Qin Dynasty in the "Battle of Feishui", which directly led to the demise of the former Qin Dynasty.
Sima Yao appointed his younger brother Sima Daozi, King of Kuaiji. Perhaps Sima Yao wanted to use Sima Daozi to suppress the Xie family, but Sima Daozi was not a good minister.
Under the dictatorship of Sima Daozi, Wang Guobao, Wang Xun, and Wang took the opportunity to flatter Sima Yao and Sima Daozi. They instigated and provoked each other, making the relationship between Xie An and the two of them worse and worse.
Who is Wang Guobao, and why does he want to sow discord between Xie An, Sima Yao, and Sima Daozi?
Wang Guobao is the son of Wang Tanzhi of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Wang Tanzhi can be regarded as a good official who served the Eastern Jin Dynasty with due diligence, but his son is too bastard. (To be continued)
