Sima Qi died, Sima Qi finally got the power he had dreamed of, Sima Ying was made the emperor's brother-in-law and became the successor to the throne, Sima Yue was named a chancellor, and the three of them took what they needed, and everyone was very happy.
But, power, is there a so-called end?
Those who became chancellors wanted to be emperors, those who became emperors wanted to ascend the throne in advance, and those who became emperors in fact wanted to be permanently solid.
Thus began the new Civil War of the Three Kings.
The crusader was replaced by Sima Ying, and after the brother became the successor, he immediately sent an army of 50,000 troops to garrison the twelve gates of Luoyang, and carried out a great purge of the forbidden army, and all the officers who were not accustomed to it were killed. Later, he listened to rumors and killed the father and son of Lu Ji, the leader of the literati at that time and the grandson of Lu Xun, resulting in a separation from the scholars. After doing these things, he returned to the fiefdom of Yecheng with great pride, more arrogant, the same pomp and circumstance as the emperor, appointed eunuchs to take charge, and the trouble was chicken flying and dog jumping, Sima Yue felt that the opportunity had come, so he held Sima Zheng hostage, spread the word to the world, summoned troops to serve the king, and soon got more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Seeing that the world was returning to his heart, and the momentum was huge, Sima Yue felt that Sima Ying would be defeated, so he lightly attacked the enemy, and as a result, he was attacked by Sima Ying's general Shi Chao and was defeated. In this battle, Emperor Sima Zheng was hit by three arrows, injuring his cheek, and Yuxi was lost and robbed to Shi Chao's camp.
After Sima Yue's defeat, he fled back to the fiefdom of Donghai (東海, in modern Tancheng, Shandong), and soon after, his younger brother Sima Teng, who was in charge of sima teng, continued his crusade against Sima Ying, this time Sima Teng began to gather the forces of the northern minorities such as Karasuma and The Qiang, and Sima Ying's general Shi Chao and others led an army to resist, but was eventually defeated by the Qiang who could fight well.
When the news of the defeat came, the soldiers and civilians in Yicheng were panicked, there were many people who fled, and Sima Ying also had a premonition that something was not good, so he led the army to abduct emperor Sima Zheng and fled to Luoyang overnight, along the way it can be described as extremely poor, the emperor of the Tangtang Jin Dynasty ate rough rice, and there was no bowl for eating, he could only use a clay pot to make up, at this time he should no longer ask the common people why they did not eat meat since they could not eat. After Sima Ying and his party fled to Luoyang, they were controlled by the general Zhang Fang, who was now the actual ruler of Luoyang, sima Yong, who abducted Sima Zheng to his military camp, and then he burned and plundered the city of Luoyang. In the end, Zhang Fang was afraid that the enemy would attack Luoyang, so he took Sima Zheng and Sima Ying and a chancellor of the Yigan Clan and fled west to Chang'an.
After arriving in Chang'an, Sima Yong saw that Sima Ying had lost the use of the rivers and rivers, so he deposed his imperial brother-in-law, ordered him to return to the fiefdom, and appointed Sima Yan's twenty-fifth son Sima Chi as the emperor's brother-in-law. At the same time, he urged Sima Yue to return to the dynasty to jointly assist the government, but was refused.
At this time, Sima Yue was accumulating strength and preparing to fight back again, and his heart was thinking that he would swallow power alone.
In 305, Sima Yue once again rebelled again under the pretext that Zhang Fang had robbed and relocated the carriage without authorization, and the world was resentful, wanting to welcome the big driver, and also raised an army in the name of the old capital Luoyang. After the army was raised, Sima Yue proposed to Sima Yue that as long as the emperor returned the capital, the two could divide the territory of Shaanxi, and Sima Yue wanted to obey, but Zhang Fang, who supported the army and respected himself, refused.
After several months of great war between the two sides, Sima Yue won the victory with difficulty, but the slogan he played to send the emperor back to the capital was still inflammatory, and as a result, the defectors were endless and their strength was getting stronger and stronger. Seeing this, Sima Yue was terrified and had to send someone to assassinate Zhang Fang and ask for peace, but was refused by Sima Yue, who was already gaining momentum. Soon after, Sima Yue attacked Tong pass and approached Chang'an, and Sima Yue fled in panic and fled into the Taibai Mountains (present-day Qinling Mountains).
After Sima Hao escaped, Qi Hong, a General of the Xianbei tribe in Sima Yue's army, took the lead in entering Chang'an, and later Qi Hong's troops plundered Chang'an, killing more than two people.
At this time, Sima Ying, who responded to Sima Ying's rebellion, was defeated by Sima Yue's general Wang Jun at the river bridge, and Sima Yingcang fled in panic, suffering heavy casualties along the way. Later, pursued by the imperial court, Sima Ying abandoned his mother and wife in a panic, fled back to Chaoge alone with his two sons, and wanted to defect to the old general Gongshi Domain of Yicheng, but after arriving at the county seat of Dunqiu County, he was captured by the local Taishou and then sent to Sima Yu, the king of Fanyang in Yicheng, and imprisoned. After Sima Yu's violent death, The Governor of Yicheng, considering Sima Ying's reputation in Yecheng and fearing his comeback, sent someone to hang Sima Ying, and his two sons were killed at the same time.
After Sima Yue entered Chang'an, he sent an army to escort the emperor Sima Zheng back to Luoyang, and at the same time formally seized power. He ordered the general Liang Liuzhen to guard Guanzhong, but soon after Liang Liu was killed by the general Ma Zhan, who went to the mountains to ask Sima Zhen to take charge. Later, Sima Yue sent troops to recruit Sima Yue and besiege Chang'an, and Sima Yue was trapped in the isolated city, panicking like a bird with a frightened bow.
In the winter of 307 AD, Sima Zheng, who had been emperor for so many years, died violently, and it was rumored that he was probably poisoned by Sima Yue. Throughout Sima Zheng's life, it is simply a reproduction of the various stories of the last emperor, he was used by his wife, uncle, uncle, brother successively, and became the biggest mascot of the Jin Dynasty, and after his death, his nickname was ''Hui'', I was really confused, is it because he is honest.
After the death of Sima Zheng, the Emperor hui of Jin, his twenty-fifth brother Sima Zhi succeeded to the throne and was known as Emperor Huai of Jin. After Emperor Huai succeeded to the throne, he ordered Sima Yue, who was trapped in Chang'an, to serve as a situ, and Sima Hao was ordered to take up his post, only to be killed by Sima Yue's younger brother Sima Mo in Xin'an Yonggu, and his three sons were also killed.
At this time, in 307 AD, with the death of the idiot emperor Sima Zheng and sima Ying and Sima Ying, the second of the last three kings, Sima Yue, who was not Sima Yi's direct descendant, finally became the one who laughed to the end.
But behind this laugh is the central plains leaving the mourning, the decadence of the dynasty, and the hundreds of millions of dry bones.
The complicated Rebellion of the Eight Kings ended, starting with The Dictatorship of Jia Nanfeng in 291 AD when he opened Pandora's box, to Sima Yue laughed and ended in 307 AD, a total of sixteen years. In these sixteen years, the royal family declined, the disasters of war were one after another, the people were displaced, the elite troops of the Jin Dynasty were basically lost in this internal friction, and the rich and vast Central Plains were tossed with many holes, and the Jin Dynasty was no longer able to resist any attacks and challenges.
But unfortunately, another Pandora's box was also quietly opened a few years ago.
That is, in 304 AD, Sima Yue's younger brother Sima Teng gathered the ethnic minority Karasuma and The Great War against Sima Ying. At that time, in fact, there were ethnic minority forces in both camps. This battle is also a precedent for ethnic minority forces on both sides of the war to participate, and it is also a precedent for ethnic minority armies to enter the Central Plains on a large scale, and this battle is inadvertently opening another Pandora's box of the Jin Dynasty.
First of all, the Xiongnu people, a branch of the Xiongnu, had been a slave army of the Xiongnu nobles before, and after the Xiongnu led the way, the Xiongnu began to grow stronger. In this year, Sima Ying's army had an unknown young man of the Qi clan, who was serving under Gongshi Fan at this time. When this battle was being fought, a Xiongnu general in Sima Ying's army took the opportunity to persuade Sima Ying to let himself return to the Xiongnu to gather tribes to help the battle, and Sima Ying was overjoyed after hearing this, so he released this person back to the Xiongnu.
The young man whose name was Not known was Shi Le, and the general who was anxious to return to the Xiongnu was named Liu Yuan. These two people are about to set off an unprecedented, huge and far-reaching dispute after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and this dispute will send this chaotic three hundred years to the peak!
