Review
Just as the so-called world is nothing strange, especially in the turbulent era of the Three Kingdoms, I don't know how many heroes Hao Jie stepped onto the stage of history to become the dominant side of the hegemony, including Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Sima Yi, etc., which we are familiar with, especially the Sima family's years of hidden tolerance changed the historical pattern of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Pi called the emperor's fruit "Great Wei" was stolen by Sima Yan, and since then the Jin Dynasty has been established and reached its peak.
But objectively speaking, not everyone in the Sima family is a great talent who is high-flying and has struck a thousand miles in one fell swoop, and even Sima Yan, who deduced the Great Wei regime, has done a lot of confused things during his reign, but the results of his foolish things affect not the common people, but the faces within their royal family.
There are historical records that during Sima Yan's reign, he was worried that his crown prince did not understand the Zhou Gongli, and that the inheritance of the throne in the future would be a big problem; he was confused and even let his concubines guide him, and as a result, the concubines were also pregnant with the flesh and bones of the prince.
Sima Yan was a good emperor
It should be said that the history of the usurpation of the Sima family was planned after three generations, and it has been laid out since Sima Yi began, and by the time of Sima Zhao, the ambitions of the world for their family were already clear, but Sima Zhao died of illness before he could implement his great plan.
Fortunately, his son Sima Yi was angry enough to break up the Wei regime in just one year, ousting the last emperor Cao Yi and establishing the Jin Dynasty.
Since ancient times, the founding princes are all capable people, and although Sima Yan cannot be compared with the achievements made by the founding emperors of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, he also has the ability to sit firmly in this position.
In Sima Yan's heart, the world's major events are nothing more than one food, one drink and one basket, Mencius's principle of "the people are noble and the king is light" has been passed down from generation to generation in the Sima family, leaving aside the great philosophy of this, this ancestral precept really makes people feel funny, it seems that Sima Yi has planned the future of the empire when he was a military teacher for Cao Cao, otherwise what to do with this family training.
But in any case, Sima Yan did this, he abolished the tun tian system that was a scourge on the people in the previous dynasty, gave those who moved from Wushu and Shu a proper name, divided the land, and let them live a stable life.
Since then, Sima Yan has promulgated many policies to promote economic development, and the people's evaluation of Sima Yan has been all the way up, and no one has said that the Sima family is a usurper of the throne.
At present, everything is in a good direction, the Jin Dynasty is quite prosperous under the management of Sima Yan, after ending the war in the Three Kingdoms, the people finally got a chance to breathe, the Jin Dynasty was widely accepted by the people of the world, and the readers also began to actively sign up to be officials, determined to benefit one side and make decisions for the people.
This is all inseparable from Sima Yan's credit, but it is such an emperor who is good at government affairs, but he has done many ridiculous things in handling family affairs.
A good emperor is easily confused
Take Sima Yan's second son, Sima Zheng, this child has had intellectual problems since childhood, and if it were not for the early death of his eldest son, Sima Yan would never have considered passing the throne to him. How stupid is Sima Zheng? It is said that he could not even do the math problems of a child, let alone recite the words of the saints and remember the love of the people.
Sima Yan was worried that the future of the Jin Dynasty would be ruined in sima zheng's hands, and he had repeatedly considered deposing Sima Zheng as crown prince and allowing more talented royals to inherit it. But such words are definitely contradictory to the ancestral ritual law, and Sima Yan also has to face tremendous pressure.
So he thought of a brilliant plan, he asked the university scholar to test Sima Zheng except for some questions, if Sima Zheng could answer like a stream, the position of the prince would not change; if Sima Zheng did not know three questions, then I am sorry, you should not be an emperor with this kind of intelligence, so as not to harm the Jin state.
Sima Zheng's brain is not good enough for us to know, but his wife Jia Nanfeng is a smart person. After Jia Nanfeng learned of this matter, he bought the question official in advance, and also asked others to answer all the questions in advance, and Sima Zheng only relayed the answers he memorized in his own words during the test that day, so he passed in front of the hundred officials.
When Sima Yan saw that it was impossible for the crown prince to give way, he began to worry about the bloodline inheritance of the Sima family; with his son's intelligence, I am afraid that he did not even understand the etiquette of the Zhou Gong, so wouldn't the Sima family have to be the last queen? Sima Yan thought of another brilliant plan, that is, to let his concubine Xie Jiu guide him.
Xie Jiu was also confused after listening, don't people have a wife Jia Nanfeng, why should I go to this kind of thing? But the emperor's order was difficult to violate, and Xie Jiu could only obey.
Afterwards, it turned out that Xie Jiu was really a good teacher, and she not only taught Sima Zheng how to perform the ritual of Zhou Gong, but also made herself pregnant with Sima Zheng's child.
The emperor's concubine was pregnant with the prince's son, and if this kind of thing were to spread out, it would simply ruin the royal face; the emperor would never be wrong, and this responsibility must be borne by Xie Jiu.
Xie Jiu also knew the importance of this matter, so she kept it a secret after returning to the palace, although she secretly gave birth to the child but never told anyone, she named the child Sima Suo.
It was not until Sima Zheng was three years old that Sima Zheng did not know that he had a child, when Sima Yan was dead, and Sima Zheng successfully succeeded to the throne as the new emperor. The powerful Sima Zheng was very happy to know this news, and he hurriedly made Sima Song the crown prince, and Xie Jiu naturally became the imperial concubine.
epilogue
Most of the endings of the story are not satisfactory enough, Xie Jiu concealed the secret of Tianda in order to protect himself, but when Sima Suo was made crown prince, the whole world knew about the royal scandals, including Sima Zheng's former concubine Jia Nanfeng.
Jia Nanfeng later deposed Sima Suo by means and tortured Xie Jiu to death, as for Sima Zheng on the throne, he was a disabled person with low intelligence himself, how to stop the cunning and sinister Jia Nanfeng?
Just because of Sima Yan's absurd thoughts, this incident laid a deep hidden danger for the collapse of the Jin Dynasty.
