Life is alive, and everyone has a convenient time when they need it. In ancient China, some of the more advanced toilets will put some dates in them, what is the use of this? During the Jin Dynasty, Wang Dun also made jokes.
After Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty, he married his beloved daughter Princess Wuyang to Wang Dun, also in order to win Wang Dun over. Although Wang Dun was not that kind of honest person, he was still afraid of Sima Yan at that time, and it was even more impossible to do the thing of abandoning the princess on the side of the road during the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings". At this time, Wang Dun was mainly pretending to be an honest person, and when he married the princess not long ago, he once made jokes about going to the toilet.
As a person from an ordinary background, Wang Dun did not go to the royal high-end toilet. So when I first married the princess, I lived in the princess house. When I went to the toilet one day, I found a box containing some red dates, and Wang Dun thought that it was for the people who went to the toilet to eat, so he ate a lot of red dates in the toilet. In fact, these dates are used to plug the nose of the person who goes to the toilet, to reduce the odor in the toilet (although today, this method is not realistic, but at that time it was also an innovation).
When they came out, the maids carried a basin of water and a glass bottle with some bath beans in it. Wang Dun thought that this was also eaten, so he poured the bath beans into the water and drank them, which caused the maids to laugh. These bath beans are actually equivalent to our current soap, which is used for washing hands. Seeing these people making fun of him undisguisedly, Wang Dun thought in his heart, one day I will make you all cry.
Later, after the death of Sima Yan, the Emperor Wu of Jin, Emperor Hui of Jin, who had a somewhat low IQ, succeeded to the throne. Other blood-related royal relatives expressed their disobedience, and thus entered a 16-year civil strife, known in history as the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings". Because Wang Dun controlled the military power, he rose all the way, and this period of time was a period of suffering for the Jin Dynasty, but it was a period of peak for Wang Dun at that time. In the course of a march, in order to increase the speed of the march, Princess Wuyang and others were abandoned on the side of the road, and the maids who accompanied the marriage were also distributed to his soldiers. Many of the maids here had laughed at Wang Dun in the past, and Wang Dun was probably also trying to take a breath.
Later, with the support of Wang Dun, Sima Rui established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Dun gradually became a powerful vassal of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, causing Sima Rui to be jealous. Under these circumstances, Wang Dun, who had originally wanted to capture Sima Jiajiangshan, rebelled, but died without success.
