Huan Xuan was a famous figure in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Her mother was the eldest daughter of Sima Shao, the emperor of Jinming, the eldest sister of Sima Yan, the eldest sister of Emperor Sima Yan of Jincheng, and the eldest princess of Nankang, and her father was Sima Da, Duke Huanwen of Nan County.
Huan Xuan died at the age of four due to the death of his father Huan Wen, and inherited his father's title and was given the title of Duke of Nan County. According to the "Biography of Huan Xuan of the Book of Jin", "He is long, his shape is magnificent, his wind god is sparse, his art is comprehensive, and he is good at belonging to the text." This means that when he grew up, he became a good-looking and proficient literary talent. Of course, Huan Xuan himself thought so. Therefore, later, when he was only appointed by the imperial court as The Taishou of Yixing (Yixing, Jiangsu), he sent a message: "The father is the uncle of Kyushu, and the son is the chief of the five lakes!" After sighing, he abandoned the official and left, acting quite conceited.
At that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was said to be a dynasty, but the government was almost always dominated by the clan, foreign relatives and the door valve king, Xie, Yu, and Huan, and the so-called emperor, especially in the late generations, was a decoration, and several gate valves who wanted to replace them.
After Huan Xuan returned to his territory of Jiangling Nan Commandery, with his father's Yu Wei and his brothers and nephews successively serving as the resources of Jingzhou's assassin history for decades, although he was not a court official, he was more powerful than the imperial court official, and he was also pushed by the towns in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River as an ally, and xingbing against the imperial court.
At that time, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Sima Dezong, which was a fool who could not say anything, and did not distinguish between winter and summer, and the government was mainly presided over by Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, and his son Sima Yuanxian, because of their excessive concentration, disorder of the dynasty, and the banditry in eastern Zhejiang, and there was no time to take care of Huan Xuan, so Huan Xuan, after capturing Jing and Yong'er Prefectures in one fell swoop, also oversaw the seven prefectures of Jing, Si, Yong, Qin, Liang, Yi, and Ning, and later oversaw Jiangzhou and Yangyu Eight Counties. In short, its forces controlled two-thirds of the land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In 402, this very conceited Huan Xuan raised troops from Jiangling to invade the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiankang, deposed and killed the ruling Huiji kings Sima Daozi and Sima Yuanxian, and declared himself a chancellor and a lieutenant, becoming the real ruler of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
However, people's greed is endless, and they want to be emperors, and when they become emperors, they want to become immortals.
At this time, Huan Xuan also had the idea of changing the dynasty, and after secretly soliciting the opinions of various power groups, he forced the foolish emperor to copy a "Zen Concession Book", and also asked the Wenwu Hundred Officials to go to huanfu to persuade him, and then he pretended to resign, and the hundred officials then persuaded him again, so after such a riotous operation, Huan Xuan built an altar on January 1, 404 (the third day of the first month of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar), officially ascended the great treasure, changed the name of the country to "Chu", the first year was "Yongshi", and named Emperor An of Jin the King of Pinggu.
At the moment when Huan Xuan sat on the dragon bed, an unexpected thing happened.
According to the "Biography of Yin Zhongwen of the Book of Jin", "Xuan usurped the throne and entered the palace, and his bed suddenly collapsed, and the group lost its color." This means that as soon as Huan Xuan sat on the dragon bed, the bed suddenly collapsed. This was not a good sign, so the courtiers were stunned.
At this moment, one of the courtiers stood up and said to Huan Xuan, Your Majesty, this is your holy virtue too deep, and the earth cannot bear it.
After Huan Xuan listened to his words, he was immediately happy and rewarded him.
However, he was not actually someone else who said this, it was Huan Xuan's brother-in-law Yin Zhongwen.
Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty was turbulent, it was particularly prominent in literature and art, and Xie Lingyun, Tao Yuanming, Wang Xizhi and other well-known people were known to posterity, and Yin Zhongwen was also more prominent in literary talent at that time. Liu Xun once commented in "Wenxin Carved Dragon": "Yin Zhongwen's lonely xing, Xie Shuyuan's idle feelings, and disbanded the words, ethereal and floating, although gushing, but pouring literary meaning." ”
Although I was a materialist, if I had encountered this situation at that time, I would have felt that this was an ominous sign. Therefore, under the circumstances at that time, Yin Zhongwen moved at the moment, and although what he said was, he immediately untied Huan Xuan's embarrassing encirclement. From this point of view, the new emperor Huan Xuan must also reward him.
Later, as foreshadowed by the collapse of Huan Xuanlong's bed, his throne was unstable, and within three months, the Eastern Jin dynasty general Liu Yu rebelled, and the Huanchu Dynasty was quickly destroyed, leaving a history of laughter in the world.
