Welcome to see this article on history of xiaobian, if you can bring you a little knowledge and analysis, it is the honor of xiaobian, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian!
In our modern people's understanding and cognition of ancient Chinese history, imperial power is the supreme power, and countless people have fought and plundered for this position. There are brothers who kill, there are sons who seize the power of the father, there are uncles and nephews who oppose each other, and there are even vassals who usurp the king. These have all appeared in the costume dramas we have seen. However, in ancient Chinese history, there was a case of a grandfather seizing the throne of his grandson.
In 265, Sima Yan forced the Wei Emperor Cao Huan to abdicate, and Sima Yan ascended the throne as emperor and established the Western Jin Dynasty. Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu, did have a strong ability in the way of governing the country, and the situation in which the Three Kingdoms were established was also broken and then unified. After this, Sima Yan took a series of measures to promote development, with remarkable results. However, it was such a powerful monarch who was confused about the matter of lipacity.
Sima Yan chose Sima Zheng to inherit the throne, and this Sima Zheng can be said to be an idiot emperor. Sima Zheng was mentally inferior, had no ability to govern the country, did not understand government affairs, and did not even have the most basic common sense; one year when there was a famine, Sima Zheng said to the courtiers who reported to him, "Why don't you eat meat?", which was really absurd. At the same time, not only did Sima Zheng not let people worry about it, Sima Zheng also married an empress who was extremely ugly and had a fierce personality. This empress is Jia Nanfeng.
Sima Zheng was incapable of ruling the country, and Jia Nanfeng still had to intervene to control the government and stir up the court into a miasma. In 299 AD, Jia Nanfeng, whose desire was inflated, also wanted to monopolize power, not only killing innocent loyalists, but also killing the empress dowager, deposing the crown prince and killing the prince. It was also for these reasons that the later "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" was triggered.
Sima Lun the King of Zhao was sima zheng's father's uncle, and sima zheng had to call him a grandfather according to the generational division, and Sima Lun relied on his own power to successfully depose and execute Jia Nanfeng, and naturally sat in the position of Xiangguo and took charge of the power of the dprk. However, Sima Lun was also a very ambitious man, and soon he had his eye on the position of emperor. So he deposed Sima Zheng and ascended the throne himself, but he was weak in usurping the throne, so he enshrined Sima Zheng as the Emperor Taishang.
Sima Lun was still a person whose ability was not worthy of ambition, and it was precisely because of this that his throne did not sit for a long time, and the other princes had opinions, so they rebelled. Sima Lun could not withstand the pressure, or chose to abdicate and fled.
Although Sima Zheng was stupid, he still understood some of the truths that threatened his position, so after his restoration, Sima Zheng killed Sima Lun and his son mercilessly.
