The crown prince Sima Zheng ascended to the throne as emperor. Amnesty for the world, changed the era name to Yongxi. Empress Dowager Yang was made empress dowager, and Crown Princess Jia was made empress.
Yang Jun entered the Taiji Hall to live, at this time the coffin of Emperor Wu of Jinwu was about to be moved to the coffin of the Taiji Hall, and the concubines of the Six Palaces all came out to bid farewell to the coffin of Emperor Wu of Jinwu, but Yang Jun did not go down to the temple and defended him with a hundred warriors.
Emperor Hui of Jin ordered Shi Jian and Zhang Shao, the Protector of the Middle Guard, to supervise the construction of the mausoleum.
Sima Liang, the king of Runan, was afraid of Yang Jun and did not dare to go to the funeral of Emperor Wu of Jin, crying for Emperor Wu of Jin outside the gate of Sima Mansion. Sima Liang went to live outside the city, and after the funeral of Emperor Wu of Jin, he requested that he leave for the place where the town was guarded. Someone reported that Sima Liang wanted to raise troops to attack Yang Jun, but Yang Jun was afraid of learning and told the empress dowager to have Emperor Hui of Jin write an edict to Shi Jian and Zhang Shao, and let them lead the soldiers who built the mausoleum to recruit Sima Liang. Zhang Shao was Yang Jun's nephew, and he immediately led his subordinates to urge Shi Jian to leave immediately. Shi Jian, however, thought that this was not the case, and he assured Sima Liang that he would not raise troops and would keep his soldiers in control. Sima Liang asked the court lieutenant He Xun for a plan, and He Xun said: "Now that the whole government and the public are attached to you from their hearts, are you not going to crusade against others, but are you afraid that others will come to crusade against you?" Sima Liang did not dare to send troops, and at night, he rushed to Xuchang quickly, so as to avoid a disaster. Yang Jun's younger brother Yang Ji and nephew Yin Libin of Henan both advised Yang Jun to leave Sima Liang behind, but Yang Jun did not listen. Yang Ji said to Shangshu Zuo Andi Fu Xian: "If the brother recruits Sima Liang and retreats to avoid him, then the portal may be saved." Fu Xian said: "The royal family and foreign relatives rely on each other to be stable." Only summoning Sima Da back and jointly assisting the government in accordance with the principle of impartiality and selflessness did not need to avoid Sima Liang. Yang Ji then asked Shi Chong, the attendant, to see Yang Jun and said these words to him, but Yang Jun did not listen.
Yang Jun knew in his heart that he usually did not have a good reputation, and he wanted to follow the precedent of Emperor Wei Ming's ascension to the throne, and generally give knighthoods to ministers in order to please the people and buy people's hearts. The general of the Left Army, Fu Qi, wrote to Yang Jun: "I have not heard that the emperor has just died, so I will give my subordinates a discussion on the matter of merit and reward. Yang Jun did not listen. Fu Qi was Fu Gao's son. Chengzi (18th), issued an edict, all ministers inside and outside the imperial court were promoted to the first rank, those who participated in the funeral of Emperor Wu of Jin were promoted to the second rank, and all officials with more than 2,000 stones were given the title of Marquis of Guanzhong, exempted from taxes for one year. Shi Chong, a scattered rider, and He Pan, a scattered rider, sang together, arguing: "The emperor has been officially made crown prince for more than twenty years, and now he has inherited a great cause, but he has been rewarded and given knighthoods, which is more generous than the rewards received at the beginning of the Taishi Revolution and the merits of the generals Ping Wu, which makes the weight disproportionate." Moreover, divination has learned that the Great Jin Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation, and the system created now is to be passed on to future generations, and if there is a title, it will be promoted, then after a few generations, there will be no one who is not a prince. "Their opinions are not taken into account.
Emperor Hui of Jin issued an edict appointing The Eunuch Yang Jun as Taifu (太傅), the Governor of Dadu (大都督), and the false Huang Yu (钺), with the governor in charge of the imperial government, and the hundred officials each in charge of their own duties and obeying Yang Jun's orders. Fu Xian said to Yang Jun: "The system of three years of mourning has not been implemented for a long time. Now the emperor is modest and entrusts political affairs to you, but the people of the world do not think that this is a good job, I am afraid that you are not easy to resist. The Duke of Zhou was a great sage, and he still attracted gossip, not to mention that the age of the emperor was not the age at which he became a king! I privately believe that since Emperor Wu's funeral has been completed, you should carefully consider the matter of going forward and retreating, if you can prove your sincerity, is it not the amount of words? Yang Jun did not listen to Fu Xian's words, and Fu Xian advised him many times, and Yang Jun gradually could not sit still, and wanted to drive Fu Xian out of the imperial court and let him become a county guard. Li Bin advised Yang Jun: "If you expel a righteous person, you will lose people's admiration for you." Yang Juncai did not drive Fu Xian away. Yang Ji's letter to Fu Xian said: "As the saying goes: 'A son born and adopted is demented and can be exempted from the official family's errands.' I'm thinking about your worries that my head is going to be broken, so I'm writing to remind you. Fu Xian wrote back: "Wei Gong has said: 'Killing people in wine is even more powerful than killing people with blunt words.'" 'People do not feel regret when they die of wine, but they are afraid of the calamities they will bring because of their integrity, because they are unable to correct their hearts and want to take the secret life as a wise way to save themselves. People who have brought calamities because of integrity since ancient times will attract resentment because they have corrected evil too much, or because they are not sincere and want to gain fame with harshness. Where is there a truth that is faithful and sincere in doing good deeds, but is hated by others? ”
Yang Jun hated Jia Hou because she was sinister and arrogant and full of power and strategy. Therefore, he appointed his nephew Duan Guang as a regular attendant in charge of confidential matters; Zhang Shao served as the central protector and commanded the emperor's personal soldiers. Whenever there is an edict, the emperor reads it, gives it to the empress, and then implements it.
Yang Jun was in power, harsh and trivial and arbitrary, and people inside and outside the court hated him. Feng Yi taishou Sun Chu said to Yang Jun: "You bear the heavy responsibility of Yi Yin and Huo Guang as a foreign relative, and you should treat things with impartiality, honesty, modesty and obedience. At present, the royal family is strong, but you do not participate in the daily government affairs with them, with suspicion and jealousy, and cultivate close and beloved people outside, so that there will be no days when the disaster is imminent! Yang Jun didn't listen either. Sun Chu was Sun Zi's grandson.
Hongxun Shaofu Pu Qin, the son of Yang Jun's aunt, offended Yang Jun many times with his blunt words, and others were frightened and frightened for him, and Pu Qin said: "Although Yang Jun fainted, he still knew that he could not kill people who had no sins, he would only alienate me, I was alienated by him, I could avoid disaster, if I did not do this, I would be exterminated with him." ”
Yang Jun recruited Wang Zhang, a native of eastern Xiongnu, as Sima (司馬), but Wang Zhang evaded rejection. Wang Zhang's friend Zhang Xuanzi, a new man, blamed him and asked him why he did this, and Wang Zhang said: "Since ancient times, there have been two empresses with one surname, and there has been no one who is undefeated. Moreover, Taifu Yangjun was close to the villain, alienated from the gentleman, and indulged in dictatorial power, and there were not many days of defeat. I crossed the sea to avoid him, and I was afraid that evil would affect me, so why should I respond to his call? Moreover, Emperor Wu did not consider the country's grand plan, the son who succeeded to the throne could no longer shoulder the burden, and the person who received the assistance of the will was not a suitable candidate, and the turmoil in the world would soon come. ”
In the autumn, in August, at noon (26th), Sima Song, the king of Guangling, was made crown prince. Zhongshu Supervisor He Shao was appointed Prince Taishi, Wei Wei Pei Kai as Shaoshi, Shangshu Wang Rong as Taifu, former Taichang Zhanghua as Shaofu, Wei general Yang Ji as Taibao, and Shangshu and Jiao as Shaobao. Prince Bai's mother, Xie Shi, was Shuyuan. Jia Hou often arranged for Xie to live in another room and did not allow her to meet the prince. At the beginning, He Yu once calmly said to Emperor Wu of Jin: "The prince is simple and simple, and the crown prince has a simple style, I am afraid that he cannot handle His Majesty's family affairs well." Emperor Wu of Jin was silent. Later, together with Yao and Xun Xun and others, emperor Wu of Jin said, "The crown prince has made a little progress in entering the imperial court recently, and you can go to him together and ask him roughly about the world. So they went to the prince, and when they returned, Xun Xun and the others praised the prince for being intelligent, insightful, and extraordinary, indeed as Emperor Wu had said. He Yu said, "The Holy Essence is as it was. Emperor Wu of Jin stood up unhappily. Wait until the crown prince succeeds to the throne as emperor. He Yu followed the crown prince Sima Song into the dynasty, and Jia Hou asked Emperor Hui of Jin to ask He Yue, "You said before that I didn't know about family affairs, how is it today?" He Yu said: "I used to be emperor in advance, I once said this, and what I said has not been confirmed, which is the luck of the country." ”
In the winter, in October, Xin You (the sixth day of the first year) appointed Shi Jian as a lieutenant and Sima Tai the Prince of Longxi as Sikong. Liu Yuan was appointed as the general of Jianwei and the governor of the five xiongnu departments.
Spring, the first month, Ethyl Unitary Shuo (the first day of the first year), changed the year name to Yongping.
Originally, when Empress Jia was still the wife of the crown prince, due to jealousy, she personally killed several people, and she also threw pregnant concubines with a halberd, so that the fetus in the pregnant woman's stomach fell to the ground with the blade. Emperor Wu of Jin was furious and repaired Jin Yongcheng to depose her. Xun Xun, Feng Zhen, Yang Jue, and concubine Ji Zhao Yue all tried to rescue her, saying to Emperor Wu of Jin: "Concubine Jia is young, jealous of the nature of a woman, and when she grows up, she will naturally become better." Empress Yang said: "Jia Chong has made great contributions to the country, And Concubine Jia is his daughter, even if she is jealous, how can she forget the merits of her ancestors so quickly?" Jia Fei was not deposed because of this. Empress Yang reprimanded Concubine Jia many times, and Princess Jia did not know that the empress was doing this to help her, but instead believed that the empress had framed her in front of Emperor Wu, so she hated Empress Yang. Later, when Emperor Hui of Jin ascended the throne, Empress Jia refused to serve the empress dowager as her daughter-in-law and wanted to interfere in political affairs, but was suppressed by the empress dowager Yang Jun. Meng Guan and Li Zhao, the Bohai people of the Temple, were both people who yang Jun did not treat him with courtesy, and secretly plotted against Yang Jun, saying that he would endanger sheji. The eunuch Huang men Dong Meng, who usually served in the Eastern Palace, was in charge of eunuchs. Empress Jia secretly instructed Dong Meng, Together with Meng Guan and Li Zhao, to plot to get rid of Yang Jun and depose the empress dowager. He also sent Li Zhao to inform Sima Liang, the king of Runan, that he would send an army against Yang Jun, but Sima Liang did not agree. Li Zhao told Sima Wei, the military governor of Jingzhou, that Sima Wei readily agreed and asked to join the dynasty. Yang Jun was usually afraid of Sima Wei's bravery and strength, and wanted to summon him but did not dare to come, this time Sima Wei asked to join the dynasty, Yang Jun agreed. In February, on the 20th, Sima Wei and the governor of Yangzhou, Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, entered the court to ask for a meeting.
In March, Xin Jiao (the eighth year of the first year), Meng Guan and Li Zhaoyu told Emperor Hui of Jin that they would write an edict at night, frame Yang Jun for plotting rebellion, martial law inside and outside the imperial court, and send emissaries to depose Yang Jun and return home as a marquis. Ordered Ma Xuan of the Dong'an Company to lead 400 people in the palace to attack Yang Jun, and Sima Wei, the king of Chu, stationed at Sima Gate, and appointed Liu Song, the minister of Huainan, as the Third Gong Shangshu, and garrisoned troops to guard the palace. Duan Guang knelt down and said to Emperor Hui of Jin: "Yang Jun's lonely duke has no son, so there is no reason to rebel, and I hope that His Majesty will carefully consider it." Emperor Hui of Jin did not answer.
At that time, Yang Jun lived in Cao Shuang's former mansion, located in the south of the arsenal, and when he heard that there were changes in the palace, he summoned the officials to discuss. Zhu Zhen, the master of Taifu, persuaded Yang Jun: "Now that there has been an incident in the palace, the reason can be imagined, it must be that those eunuchs gave Empress Jia an idea, which was not conducive to the lord." They should burn the YunlongMen to force them, demand the heads of the perpetrators, open the Wanchun Gate, lead the Eastern Palace and the outer battalion to surround the crown prince into the palace, arrest the evil people, and the palace will shake with fear, and will definitely behead the perpetrators to send them, otherwise, there is no way to avoid disaster. Yang Jun was always cowardly, unable to make up his mind, and said: "The Yunlongmen was built by Emperor Wei Ming, and the labor and cost are very large, so why burn it?" Fu Qi, the attendant, told Yang Jun and asked Shangshu Wumao to enter the palace to observe the development of the situation, and he said to the officials: "The palace should not be empty. Then he bowed his hand and went down the steps. The officials all ran away, and Wu Mao was still sitting there. Fu Qi turned back to him and said, "Aren't you a subordinate of the Son of Heaven?" Now that the inside and outside are isolated and you don't know where the Son of Heaven is, how can you still sit still? Wu Mao was shocked. Liu Yu, Yang Jun's henchman and general of the Left Army, led his troops to wait outside the gate, and when he met pei jun, the general of the right army, he asked Pei Jun where Yang Jun was, and Pei Yu deceived him: "I just met Yang Jun at Xiye Gate, he was in a white car, and two people followed him to the west. Liu Yu said, "Where should I go?" Pei Yun said, "You should go to Tingwei." Liu Yu listened to Pei Yun's words, entrusted the soldiers to Pei Feng, and he left. Soon, he ordered Pei Yu to replace Liu Yu as the general of the Left Army and garrison Wanchun Gate. Pei Is the son of Pei Xiu.
The empress dowager wrote the letter on a silk veil and shot an arrow out of the city, which read, "He who saves the prince is rewarded." Jia Hou used this incident to declare that the empress dowager and Yang Jun conspired together. Soon, the soldiers in the palace went out and set fire to Yang Jun's mansion, and the crossbowmen fired arrows at Yang Jun's mansion on the pavilion, and Yang Jun's soldiers had no way to come out. Yang Jun fled to the stables, where he was killed. Meng Guan and others then arrested Yang Jun's younger brothers Yang Jue and Yang Ji, Zhang Shao, Li Bin, Duan Guang, Liu Yu, and Wu Mao, as well as Yang Mi, Zhongshu Ling Jiang Jun, and Dongyi Colonel Wen Duan, all of whom were wiped out of the three tribes and executed by thousands.
When Yang Jue was about to be sentenced, he asked Ma Xuan of the Dong'an Company to say: "The performance I gave to Emperor Wu of Jin before was placed in a stone box, and you can ask Zhang Hua." The crowd believed that Yang Jue should be told Zhaoxue according to Zhong Yu's precedent, but Sima Xuan did not agree, and the Jia family's party urged the execution to be carried out quickly. Yang Jue kept shouting and shouting, and the executioner split his head with a knife. Sima Xuan was Zhuge Shi's grandson, and he had hated Wen Duan before, so he killed Wen Duan as Yang Jun's henchman this time. On this night, who to kill and who to reward was decided by Sima Xuan, and his power shook both inside and outside the imperial court. Wang Rong said to Sima Xuan: "After handling major matters, we should hide deep away from power. Sima Xuan did not listen. 壬辰 (初九), pardoning the world, changed his era name to Yuan Kang.
The empress dowager falsely claimed the emperor's edict and sent the general Xun Wu (荀悝) to send the empress dowager to live in yongning Palace, especially saving the life of the empress's mother, Gao Dujun Pangshi, and agreeing to let her live with the empress. Soon, Empress Jia persuaded the ministers to go through the relevant departments and said: "The empress dowager has long been secretly carrying out evil plans in an attempt to endanger the country, carrying letters with flying arrows, recruiting soldiers, colluding with evil people, and automatically breaking with the heavens." Lu Hou severed ties with Wen Jiang, which was praised by the Spring and Autumn. As for serving the ancestors and assuming the responsibility of impartiality and selflessness in the world, although His Majesty has unavoidable feelings, his subordinates do not dare to obey orders. Emperor Hui of Jin issued an edict saying: "This is a major matter, check it out and then talk about it." The relevant departments also said: "The empress dowager should be deposed as a Junyang Shuren." Zhang Hua, the superintendent of the Zhongshu Dynasty, proposed: "The empress dowager has not been guilty of the former emperor, and now the person she is close to, the mother of the people, has not set an example in the holy world, and should follow the old practice of deposing Empress Zhao as empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, demean the honorific title of empress dowager, and also call her Empress Wu, and let her live in other palaces to preserve the virtues from beginning to end." The left servant Xun Kai, along with the Crown Prince Shaoshi and Sima Huang the Prince of Xia pi, proposed: "The empress dowager and Yang Jun conspired to endanger sheji and did not match the former emperor. The title of empress dowager should be demoted and deposed from Jin Yongcheng. At this time, there was a superior who asked him to follow the proposal of Sima Huang and others and depose the empress dowager as a commoner. The Emperor issued an edict agreeing to this decision. Another superior said: "Yang Jun rebelled and rebelled, and his family should be executed, and the edict angrily spared the life of his wife Pang Shi, in order to be the heart of Empress Dowager An." Now the empress dowager was deposed as a commoner and requested that Pang be handed over to the court lieutenants for execution. Emperor Hui of Jin did not approve of the edict, and Yousi insisted on requesting it, and Emperor Hui obeyed this opinion. When Pang was imprisoned, the empress dowager hugged her and cried, cut her hair, knelt down and touched the ground with her forehead, and the empress dowager went to Jiahou to be a slave and asked to save pang's mother's life, but she was ignored. Dong Yang traveled to Taixue, ascended to the hall and sighed, "The imperial court has established this hall, what will it do with it?" Whenever you look at the documents of the state amnesty, such a great sin as rebellion can be forgiven, but the sin of killing a grandfather and grandmother, killing a father and a mother is not forgiven, because such a crime cannot be tolerated by the laws made by the emperor. But why did the secretary of state deal with opinions and embellish the etiquette system to such an extent? The laws of Heavenly Dao and human affairs have been extinguished, and great turmoil is about to arise. ”
Yousi arrested Yang Jun's subordinate officials and wanted to kill them. Fu Qi, a servant, stated: "In the past, Lu Zhi served as Cao Shuang's Sima and broke through the pass to go to Cao Shuang, and Emperor Xuan of Jin also appointed him as the assassin of Qingzhou. Yang Jun's subordinates could not all charge them. So Emperor Wu of Jin issued an edict pardoning them.
On the 19th, He recruited Sima Liang, the king of Runan, to serve as Dazai, and with Taibao to serve as a Shangshushi to assist the imperial government. Sima Kam the Prince of Qin was appointed as a general, Sima Shu (司馬楙) the Prince of Dongping (東平王) was appointed as a general of fujun, Sima Wei (司馬玮) the King of Chu (司馬玮) was made a general of the Wei Dynasty and a lieutenant of the Northern Army, Sima Huang (司馬晃) the Prince of Xia Pi (下邳) was made Shang Shu Ling (尚書令), and Ma Shu (馬繇) of Dong'an Company (東安公司) was made Shang Shu Zuo (尚書左仆射), and he was promoted to the title of King. Sima Shu was Sima Wang's son. Feng Dongmeng was made the Marquis of Wu'an, and all three of his older brothers were given the title of Marquis of Ting.
Sima Liang wanted to gain the love of the people for him, and on the basis of the merits of eradicating Yang Jun, 1,081 of the governors were each given the title of marquis. Fu Xian wrote to Sima Liang in the imperial history: "Now the reward is eminent and grand, shaking the heavens and the earth, which has not been seen since ancient times. If there is no merit but can be rewarded, then everyone hopes that the country will have a disaster, which makes the root cause of the disaster not exhausted. The person who opened this head was Dongan Company Ma Xuan. People think that after Your Highness has come, you should be corrected and rectified, and the government affairs should be straightened out by laws, so what reason can the people be angry? The reason why the crowd was angry was because of injustice, and now doubling down on merit and reward was even worse than Dong'an Gong, and everyone was disappointed. ”
Sima Liang was dictatorial about power, and Fu Xian again advised: "Yang Jun has the power to shock the monarch and appoint relatives, which is the reason for the noise in the world." Now that you are in charge of the government, you should correct this mistake. I think we should meditate and recuperate, and if there are big gains and losses, we should maintain the handling, except for major events, and suppress the dismissal. Four visits to your house and usually passing in front of your door, always see the official eunuchs and horses, filling the streets, this habit should also be stopped. In addition, Xiahou Changrong was sent to ask for orders for the former emperor, praying that he did not move the heavens, the first emperor died, Xiahou Changrong should blame himself, but now he asked for the credit of the request, and you actually appointed him as the Shaofu. I privately believe that Xiahou Changrong is your in-law, which is why it is so. 'A dog barks, a group of dogs bark'. Fearing the barking of the dogs, they could not follow it. As a human being, I cannot obey in person, and there are slanderous words behind me. It turned out that he had once offended Yang Jun and was almost harmed, not to mention that he cherished His Highness. Earlier, you said to me, 'Don't you know what Han Feizi said about touching the scales of a dragon?' And you're touching the scales of the Son of Heaven' rebirth. I knew that what I was saying was indeed touching the beard of the beast without stopping. And the reason why I dare to speak is that I hope that Your Highness will understand my heart. Previously touched the scales of the Heavenly Son's inversion, wanting to be loyal; Touching the beard of the beast now is not to do evil, and therefore it will be forgiven. Sima Liang did not adopt.
Empress Jia's brother Sima Jiamo, the cousin of Empress Jia's mother and the Wei general Guo Zhang, and Empress Jia's sister's son Jia Mi, participated in state affairs together with Sima Wei the King of Chu and Sima Miao the Prince of Dong'an. Empress Jia's fierce cruelty grew stronger and worse every day. Sima Xuan secretly plotted to depose Empress Jia, and Jia was terrified. Sima Miao's elder brother, Ma Huan of the Tobu Company, hated Sima Xuan in peacetime, and repeatedly framed Sima Miao in front of Sima Liang, saying: "Sima Miao decided to punish and reward without authorization, and he wanted to monopolize the government. "On the twenty-seventh day of Gengji ,庚戌 (27 July), the emperor issued an edict to remove Sima Xuan from his official post, and was convicted of treason, and was deposed and moved to Daifang County.
From this time on, the power of Jia Mi and Guo Zhang's power increased day by day, and guests squeezed through the door. Although Jia Mi was arrogant and extravagant, he loved learning and liked to accept scholars. Guo Zhang, Shi Chong, Lu Ji, Lu Ji's younger brother Lu Yun, He Yu, as well as Pan Yue of Xingyang, Cui Ji of Qinghe, Ouyang Jian of Bohai, Miao Zheng of Lanling, Du Bin of Jingzhao, Zhi Yu, Zhuge Yi of Lang, Wang Pu of Hongnong, Du Yu of Xiangcheng, Zou Jie of Nanyang, Zuo Si of Qi, Liu Gui of Pei, Zhou Hui, Qian Xiu of Anping, Chen Yun of Yingchuan, Xu Meng of Gaoyang, Liu Ne of Pengcheng, Liu You of Zhongshan, and Liu Kun, brother of Liu You, were all attached to Jia Mi's men and were called twenty-four friends. Kazuyuki is Heyu's younger brother. Shi Chong and Pan Yue served Jia Mi with particular flattery, and whenever they waited for Jia Mi and Guangcheng Jun Guo Huai to come out, they quickly got out of the car, stood on the left side of the road, and looked at the dust raised behind Jia Mi and Guo Huai's car and knelt down to pray.
Sima Liang and TaiBaobao, the King of Chu, because Sima Wei, the king of Chu, was arrogant and stubborn and liked to kill people, so they hated him and wanted to take away his military power, and let Pei Kai, the Marquis of Linhai, replace Sima Wei as the post of lieutenant in the Northern Army. Sima Wei was furious, and when Pei Kai heard about it, he did not dare to accept the official position of waiting in the Northern Army. Sima Liang conspired with Wei Huan again, sending Sima Wei and the princes to his fiefdom, and Sima Wei became more and more resentful and dissatisfied. Sima Wei's changshi Gongsun Hong and Sheren Qisheng were both favored by Sima Wei, and they persuaded Sima Wei to take the initiative to get close to Empress Jia, and Empress Jia left Sima Wei as the crown prince. Qisheng used to be friendly with Yang Jun, and Wei Wan, disgusted by his fickleness, was about to arrest him. Qisheng plotted with Gongsun Hong, relying on the general Li Zhao, who falsely claimed to be on the orders of Sima Wei, and framed Sima Liang and Wei Ou in front of Empress Jia, saying that they were going to plot to depose the king. Empress Jia usually resented Wei Wan, and was worried that Sima Liang and Wei Ou were in charge of the imperial government, so she could not arbitrarily indulge. In the summer, in June, Empress Jia instructed Emperor Hui of Jin to personally write an edict to Sima Wei, which said: "If Dazai and Taibao want to do what Yi Yin and Huo Guang have done, you should announce the edict and order the king of Huainan, Changsha, and Chengdu to garrison the palace gates and remove Sima Liang and Wei Ou from their official positions." In the night, the eunuch Huang Men was sent to send an edict to Sima Wei. Sima Wei wanted to play it again, and Huang Men said, "I'm afraid that things will leak out, but this is not the original intention of the secret edict." Sima Wei also wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on personal resentment, so he commanded his own troops, and falsely claimed that the emperor had ordered the thirty-sixth army to be summoned, and declared to them: "Sima Liang and Wei Ou are secretly plotting wrongdoing, and I have accepted the emperor's order today to command all the armies inside and outside the imperial court, and all those who are on duty, serving as guards and defensive posts must be strictly guarded." The troops outside directly followed the army to the palace to fight rebellion. He also falsely claimed that the emperor ordered: "The subordinate officials of Sima Liang and Wei Wan, do not ask any questions, and all are dismissed and dismissed." If there is disobedience to the order, it shall be dealt with in accordance with military law. Sima Wei sent Gongsun Hong and Li Zhao to lead troops to surround Sima Liang's residence, and asked Sima Liang, the king of Qinghe, to arrest Wei Liang. Sima Liang's subordinate, Li Long, told Sima Liang: "There has been chaos outside, and I ask for resistance. Sima Liang did not agree. After a while, the soldiers climbed up the wall and shouted loudly, and Sima Liang said in surprise: "I have no second thoughts, why have I reached such a point!" Can I take a look at the edict? Gongsun Hong and others did not agree, urging the soldiers to step up their attack. Liu Zhun, the chief historian, told Sima Liang, "I observe that this must be an evil conspiracy. There are many talented people in the house, and they can also fight as hard as they can. Sima Liang still did not agree, so he was caught by Li Zhao, who sighed and said, "My sincere heart can be cut open for people in the world to see." Sima Liang and his eldest son Sima Zhi were executed together.
Wei Wan's men also suspected that Sima Wei was pretending to be the emperor's edict, and asked Wei Wan to resist, waiting for the reply from the above table, and it was not too late to allow the punishment, but Wei Wan did not heed the advice. At the beginning, when Wei Ou was serving as Sikong, the under-command Governor Rong Obscure committed a crime, and Wei Ou reprimanded him and drove him away. At this time, Rong Han followed Sima Xiao to arrest Wei Wan, and killed Wei Wan, and his descendants, a total of nine people, but Sima Xi could not stop it.
Qisheng persuaded Sima Wei: "We should take advantage of the momentum of the army to get rid of Jia Mi and Guo Zhang by the way, so as to help the royal family and stabilize the world." Sima Wei hesitated. At this time, when it was dawn, the crown prince Fu Zhanghua sent Dong Meng to persuade Jia Hou: "The King of Chu has already killed Sima Liang and Wei Ou, and the power of the Son of Heaven belongs to him, what else can the king rely on to get stability?" Sima Wei should be punished for his crime of killing people. Empress Jia also wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Sima Wei, so she deeply agreed with this idea. At this time, there was chaos inside and outside, and the court was chaotic and fearful, and it was not known how to be good. Zhang Huayu told Emperor Hui of Jin that he had sent the general Wang Gong to command the crowd with a banner marked with the Banner of the Righteous Beast, saying, "The King of Chu falsely claimed that the emperor had ordered him not to listen to him. Everyone put down their weapons and fled, and Sima Wei's side was gone, and he was embarrassed and overwhelmed, so he arrested him, took him to the court lieutenant, Yi Ugly, and killed him. Before he died, Sima Wei took out the green paper edict hidden in his arms, and with tears showed it to Liu Song, the prison shangshu, saying, "I was fortunate to be born in the body of Emperor Xian, but I suffered such a grievance!" "Gongsun Hong and Qi Sheng were both wiped out of the three tribes.
When Sima Wei raised his army, Sima Tai, the king of Longxi, reorganized his troops and prepared to assist Sima Wei. Ding Suijin, the sacrificial wine, said, "As the prime minister, you should not act rashly. And the night is very rushed, and someone should be sent to verify the exact information. Sima Tai then did not act.
Wei Wan's daughter wrote to the chancellor of the court, saying: "My dead father did not have a prominent title, and I often wondered that this matter was despised by a country and no one spoke, and this practice was not in line with the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, Liu Sui, the master of the Taibao Dynasty, and others held the yellow flag in their hands, rang the Dengwen drum, and told Emperor Huichen: "At the beginning, when the person who falsely claimed the emperor's order arrived, Wei Ou immediately gave him a ribbon of yinyin and obeyed the orders of the people alone. According to the provisions of the forged edict, Wei was only removed from his official position, but the former retinue Rong Han arrested Wei's father and grandson without authorization and killed them together. He requested that the truth and falsity of the whole thing be examined, and that Rong Han be punished with a public display. Therefore, Emperor Hui of Jin issued an edict to destroy Rong's obscure family, restore and posthumously recognize Sima Liang's title, and his title was Wencheng. Feng Weihuan was the Duke of Lanling and the title of Cheng.
From then on, Empress Jia monopolized the government, trusted her relatives, and appointed Jia Mo as a regular attendant of the scattered horses, and also served as a consul. Jia Mi and Empress Jia plotted, believing that Zhang Hua was not the same surname, there was no suspicion of coercing the emperor, and Zhang Hua was a strategist and a person who was expected by all, so he wanted to entrust the government to Zhang Hua, but he hesitated, so he went to ask Pei Jun's opinion, and Pei Yu agreed with this decision.

He also appointed the Annam general Pei Kai (裴楷) as Zhongshu Ling (中書令), who also served as the head of the service, and together with his right servant Wang Rong (王戎), was in charge of confidential matters. Zhang Hua was loyal to the emperor's family, and michievously stitched up the faults and omissions in the government, and although Empress Jia was fierce and sinister, she still knew to respect Zhang Hua. Jia Mo, Zhang Hua, and Pei worked together to assist in the state affairs, so within a few years, although the faint-hearted king was in the position of emperor, the government and the public were stable and calm, all thanks to Zhang Hua and others.

When he first served as a lieutenant colonel, he said: "It is now prevalent to bribe people with goods, and this should be severely severely broken.

In the sixth year of Yuan Kang (296 CE), Sima Lun, the great general of Zhenxi and the King of Zhao, trusted and used his beloved Lang evil man Sun Xiu. Sima Lun and the Yongzhou Assassins and the Jinan people fought over military matters, and they competed to perform the song, and Ouyang Jian also stated Sima Lun's crimes. Because Sima Lun disturbed the Guanyou region, the imperial court recruited Sima Lun to serve as a cheqi general, and appointed Sima Wei the Prince of Liang as the general of Zhenxi, the governor of Yong, and the military of Liang Erzhou. Xie Xie," his younger brother Yushi Zhong, both requested to kill Sun Xiu to apologize to the Qiang and Qiang people, and Zhang Hua told Sima Xuan the Prince of Liang about this, asking Sima Shu to kill Sun Xiu, and Sima Xian agreed. Sun Xiu's friend Xin Ran interceded with Sima Xiu on Behalf of Sun Xiu: "It is not Sun Xiu's sin for Him to rebel on his own. Sun Xiu was thus spared death. Sima Lun arrived in Luoyang, adopted Sun Xiu's plan, and worked hard to befriend Jia and Guo, Empress Jia was very fond of and trusted him, Sima Lun took the opportunity to ask for the post of Lu Shang Shushi, and also asked to take up the post of Shang Shu Ling, Zhang Hua and Pei Hu firmly disagreed, and Sima Lun and Sun Xiu hated Zhang Hua and Pei Fu from then on.
In the autumn, in August, the Xie clan was defeated by Hao Duyuan, and all the Qiang and Qiang in the Qin and Yong regions rebelled, and the commander qi Wannian became emperor and besieged Jingyang. In the imperial history, he reported the negligence and guilt of officials, and did not avoid powerful relatives of the emperor and the state. Sima Wei, the King of Liang, had violated the law, and a weekly review exposed him. In the winter, in November, the emperor appointed Zhou Chu as the general of Jianwei, and the Zhenwei general Lu Bo were subordinate to the Anxi general Xiahou Jun, and asked them to go on a crusade against Qi Wannian. Zhongshu ordered Chen Zhun to address the imperial court: "Xiahou Jun and King Liang are both relatives of the emperor, not generals, they attack without seeking fame, and they retreat without fear of crime. Zhou was a Wu man, loyal and upright, brave and decisive, who attacked the enemy but did not aid him. The crossbow general Meng Guan should be ordered to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to serve as the forward of the Zhou Division, and he would certainly be able to destroy the enemy. Otherwise, Liang Wang would let Zhou Fu act as a striker and frame him without rescuing him, then failure was inevitable. "The imperial court did not act according to his opinion. Qi Wannian heard that Zhou Fu was coming and said, "Zhou Fujun once served as the Taishou of Xinping, and he was able to write and fight. If he comes alone, he will be irresistible, and if he is controlled by others, then I can catch him this time. ”
Famine and plague occurred in Guanzhong.
At the beginning, Yang Ju, a member of the Qingshui clan of Luoyang, first lived in Qiuchi. There are hundreds of hectares of land in the square circle of Qiuchi, and there are more than 20 miles of flat land next to it, and on all sides are steep and dangerous mountains, and there are sheep intestine trails that wind around thirty-six times. Later, Yang Ju's grandson Yang Qianwan was annexed to Wei and was given the title of King of Baiqing. Yang Feilong, Yang Qianwan's grandson, gradually became stronger and moved to Luoyang. Yang Feilong took his nephew Ling Humaosou as his son, and Ling Humaosou escaped the disturbances of Qi Wannian, and in December, he led 4,000 tribes from Luoyang back to defend Qiuchi, and he was given the title of Auxiliary General and Right Xian King. Many of the people who fled the war in the Guanzhong area went to linghu maoshuo, and linghu maosou accepted and appeased them; Those who want to leave also protect them and give them money.
In this year, he appointed the general Yang Lie and the Brazilian Zhao Liao as the assassin of Yizhou, recruited the troops of Liang Prefecture and Yizhou, and aided Yongzhou in its crusade against the Qiang and Qiang people.
In the spring, the first month, Qi Wannian was stationed in Liangshan, with a crowd of 70,000 people. Sima Wei and Xiahou Jun, the liang kings, sent Zhou Chu to lead 5,000 soldiers to attack Qi Wannian. Zhou said: "The army is bound to fail without a follow-up, which is not only an individual death, but also a disgrace to the country." Sima Wei and Xiahou Jun did not heed his advice and forced him to leave. 癸 ugly (the fourth day of the first year), Zhou Chu and Lu Bo and Xie Zhi attacked Qi Wannian in Liumo. Before the soldiers of the surrounding army had eaten, Sima Wei urged them to attack immediately, fighting from morning to night, killing and capturing a large number of enemy troops. The bowstrings of the troops around the area were broken, the arrows were exhausted, and the rescue of the soldiers was delayed. Those around him urged him to retreat, and he stroked his sword and said, "This is the day when I am loyal and sacrifice my life." So he fought hard until he died. Although the imperial court blamed Sima Wei for this, it could not punish him.
In autumn, July, Yongzhou and Qinzhou drought, plague epidemic, a rice is worth 10,000 yuan.
Ding Ugly, Prince Hun of Jingling Yuan, died. In September, Wang Rong, the right servant of Shangshu, was appointed as Situ, and the crown prince He Shao was appointed as Shangshu's left servant. Wang Rong served as the third duke, and with the trend of rising and falling and rising and falling at that time, there was no rectification and rescue for the country's political affairs. He entrusted things to his subordinates and went out to play lightly. He was greedy and miserly by nature, and his gardens and fields were all over the world, and he often held chips alone, calculating day and night, often as if he were not satisfied. The plums he grew at home were very good, and when he sold them for fear that others would get the seeds, he drilled a hole in the plum core. The people he appreciated and promoted also looked only at false names. Nguyễn Hạng Hạng's son Nguy Wang Rong asked him: "The saints value fame, and Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi understand nature, are their purposes the same or different?" Ruan Zhan said: "Will there be no same? Wang Rong was amazed, so he recruited Ruan Zhan, who was called "Three Words" (three-character official).
At that time, Wang Yan served as Shang Shu Ling, and The Nanyang people Le Guang served as Henan Yin, both of them liked to talk and were concerned about affairs, and they were very famous at that time, and the government and the public admired them and competed to emulate them. Wang Yan and his younger brother Wang Cheng liked to comment on characters and set them up, and people in the world took their evaluation as a standard. Wang Yan's spirit is intelligent and beautiful. When he was young, Shantao saw him, admired him for a long time, and said, "What kind of old woman gave birth to such a child!" But the person who hinders the people of the world is not necessarily not this person. "Le Guang's temperament is indifferent and modest, simple, clear and broad, and there is no dispute with the world." When he talks, he always discerns things in simple language, makes people feel convinced and satisfied, and he remains silent about things he does not know. When he talks about man, he must first praise the man's strengths, and then the man's shortcomings will naturally appear without him having to be said. Wang Cheng, as well as Ruan Xian, Ruan Xian's nephew Ruan, Taishan man Hu Wufuzhi, Chen Guoren Xie Kun, Chengyang wang yi, and Xincai people Bi Zhuo, all used indulgence and willfulness as a mastery, and even drunk and crazy, naked, did not feel anything wrong. Hu Wufuzhi once drank freely, and his son Hu Wuqianzhi saw it and shouted at his words: "Yan Guo, you are an elderly person, you should not do this!" Hu Wufu laughed happily and asked him to come over and drink together. Bi Zhuo used to serve as an official, and the wine brewed by the owner of the neighboring room was ripe, and Bi Zhuo was drunk. At night, he sneaked into the room where the urn was placed to steal the wine, and was tied up by the custodian, and the next morning, when he saw it, it turned out to be the Bi official. After hearing this, Le Guang laughed at him and said, "There is joy within the Cult of Fame and Rites, so why should it be so!" ”
At the beginning, He Yan and others stated LaoZi and Zhuangzi, and the view they established was that "all things in heaven and earth are based on nothingness." The so-called nothingness is to understand the truth of things in order to achieve the affairs of the world, which is the truth that exists everywhere you go. Yin and yang depend on this to develop and grow, and the virtuous people rely on this to achieve virtue. Therefore, the function of nothing, although there is no title, is very important. Wang Yan's disciples all loved and respected He Yan. Since then, the scholars and doctors of the imperial court have regarded the vain and exaggerated birth as a beautiful act, and have slackened and abandoned their positions. Pei wrote the Treatise on Chongyou to explain the shortcomings of this ethos: "Interests and desires can be detracted from but not severed from their existence; Things can be controlled but not completely absent. Dressed up as a person with the ability to make a statement, he profoundly enumerated tangible faults and praised the beauty of emptiness. Tangible objects, though obstructed, can be verified, but the righteousness of emptiness is difficult to examine. Beautiful eloquent words can make people happy, and it seems that the words of the same thing are enough to confuse people. The multitude was confused by these statements and indulged in the existing sayings, and although some people did not agree with them, because the words could not be understood, they succumbed to the customs that had been formed, and therefore thought that the truth of nothingness could not be concealed. One person sings and a hundred people respond to peace, and they go without returning, so they look at the affairs of the world that do not govern, despise the role of meritorious performance, advocate idle affairs, and despise the virtuous people who have the truth of the world. In this way, fame and fortune follow, so that the literati expand their words, and the slow-talking praise their purposes. The founding doctrine is called mysterious by means of nothingness; To be in an official position without being present in one's own position is to be called elegant and profound. The ethics of serving oneself and neglecting integrity is called open-mindedness and freedom from restraint. Therefore, the atmosphere of tempering discipline and virtue has declined even more. By virtue of this custom, some indulgent people violate the rituals of sacrifice and funeral, ignore the appearance and appearance of appearance, despise the order of the elderly and the young, confuse the ranks of the noble, and even worse, to the point of being naked and not dignified, it is really everything, and the conduct of the scholar is destroyed. ”
"Although all tangible things are born from nothingness, but now that they have been born, there is already a difference between existence and non-existence, and then nothingness is abandoned. So reproduction is already growing, not something that can be achieved without action; Governing the people that already exist is not something that can be done without doing anything. The mind is not a matter, but the control of a matter must pass through the mind, but it cannot be said that the mind is nothing. Craftsmen are not utensils, but the craftsmen must be made by craftsmen, but it cannot be said that craftsmen do not exist. Therefore, if you want to catch fish and shrimp in deep water, you can't get it in peace; If you want the birds on the high wall to fall, you can't succeed quietly. From this point of view, it is useful to gain tangible things. What good does nothingness do to the people who already have it? However, customs have been formed, and Pei's arguments cannot be helped.
In the eighth year of Yuan Kang (Peng Wu, 298 AD), spring, March, Nong Shu (nineteenth), amnesty for the world.
In autumn, in September, the five prefectures of Jing, Yu, Xu, Yang and Hebei caused major floods.
At first, Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, and the Benefactor Li Clan went from the Batu Canal to attach to Zhang Lu. Emperor Wu of Wei conquered Hanzhong, and Li led more than 500 people to annex Emperor Wu of Wei, was given the post of general, and moved to the area north of Luoyang, with the title of Baqi. Li's grandsons Li Te, Li Kuo, and Li Liu were all talented and brave, good at riding horses and archery, and had a bad personality, and the like-minded people in the state went to join them. By the time of the Qi Wannian rebellion, Guanzhong's crops had been unfamiliar for many years, and the people of the six counties of Luoyang and Tianshui were exiled and migrated, and tens of thousands of families looking for grain and grain entered Hanchuan. On the road, he saw sick and poor people everywhere, and the Little brothers often helped and protected these people, and since then they have won the hearts of everyone. When the exiled people arrived in Hanzhong, they wrote a letter requesting that food be sent in Ba and Shu, but the imperial court did not allow it when deliberating on politics, and sent the widowEdu Li Mo to hold the charm to comfort them, and at the same time supervise them and prevent them from entering the Sword Pavilion. When Li Mo arrived in Hanzhong, he accepted bribes from the displaced people, and said in the table: "There are more than 100,000 displaced people, which cannot be relieved by a county in Hanzhong. The imperial court listened to Li Yuan's advice. Since then, displaced people have been scattered in Liangzhou and Yizhou, and cannot be banned. When Li Te arrived at the Sword Pavilion, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Liu Chan has such a place, and he actually surrendered to others, isn't he a person with mediocre and inferior talents?" "People who hear him think he's not ordinary. King Zhao and King Liang were in Guanzhong one after another, they were both leisurely and self-satisfied, arrogant and honorable, ignoring the military, and the troops were idle for a long time, and they had no opportunity to establish merit.
For this reason, Zhang Hua and Chen Zhun recommended Meng Guan, saying that he was deep and resolute, and that he was both literate and martial, and sent him to fight against Qi Wannian. Meng Guan personally came to the battle front, faced the enemy's stone arrows with his body, fought more than a dozen times, and defeated the enemy each time.
In the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Yuankang of the Jin Dynasty (己未, 299 CE), in the spring, in the first month of the first month, Meng Guan defeated the Qi people at Zhongting and captured Qi Wannian.
The crown prince washed ma Chen liu ren Jiang Tong, believing that the Rong people and di people were suffering from the scourge of China as soon as possible, so they wrote the "Theory of Migration" to remind the imperial court that the imperial court had not been able to adopt this strategy.
Jia Mi, a squire who was a regular attendant at the Eastern Palace, lectured for the crown prince and had an arrogant attitude toward the prince, and Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, found out and reprimanded him. Jia Mi was furious and reported to Empress Jia, and immediately sent Sima Ying to be the general of Pingbei and defended yecheng. Emperor Hui recruited Sima Wei (司馬肜), the Prince of Liang, to be a general and a scholar of Shang. Sima Yong , the King of Hejian , was appointed as the general of Zhenxi , and the town was guarded in Guanzhong. At first, Emperor Wu of Jin had stipulated a system, hidden in the stone box of the Zongmiao Temple, stipulating that it was not a close relative who could not guard Guanzhong. Sima Yong did not value property but cherished the scholars, and the imperial court believed that he had both moral integrity and ability, and could reuse him.
In the summer, in June, Sima Tai, the King of Gaomi Literature, died.
Empress Jia's fornication and tyranny became more and more violent, and she had an affair with The Tai Doctor Ling Cheng And others. They also let the teenagers on the road into bamboo boxes and smuggled them into the palace, but they were afraid that these teenagers would leak things out and often kill them. Jia Mo was afraid that these things would implicate him and was very worried. Pei Yan, together with Jia Mo and Zhang Hua, discussed deposing Empress Jia and replacing Her majesty With Consort Xie as empress. Jia Mo and Zhang Hua both said, "The emperor himself did not have the idea of deposing the empress, we carried out this matter without authorization, if the emperor did not agree, then what should we do?" Moreover, when the princes were strong, they all had their own power and close people. I am afraid that once things do not succeed, disasters will be brought in, lives will be lost and the country will be in danger, which will be detrimental to the country's social welfare. Pei Yun said, "Indeed, as you said." But the empress was in a state of rage and wanton laissez-faire in the palace, and her troubles would soon come. Zhang Hua said: "You are both relatives of the empress, and she may believe in your opinion that you should state to her more about the fear of misfortune and blessing, and hope that she will not be excessive, so that there will be no disaster in the world, and we will be able to live leisurely and freely." From morning to night, Pei Yun persuaded his aunt Guangcheng JunGuo Huai to warn Empress Jia to be close to the crown prince. Jia Mo also told Empress Jia many times about the truth of misfortune, and the empress could not listen to it, but instead thought that Jia Mo was slandering herself in this way, so she alienated him. Jia Mo's kind wishes could not be achieved, and he died of melancholy and anger.
In the autumn, in August, Pei Was appointed as a Servant of Shangshu. Although Pei Was a relative of Empress Jia, his good reputation had always been widely known, and everywhere was afraid that he would not be able to take on important positions. Soon, Emperor Hui issued an edict to put Pei Du in charge of important positions. Pei Yun insisted on resigning, saying: "Jia Mo has just died, and I have been asked to replace him, so as to increase the prestige of foreign relatives and show the arrangement of bias and private feelings, which will bring trouble to the imperial court." Emperor Hui disagreed. Someone said to Pei, "You have a chance to speak, and you should also do your best to write to the empress." Having said that and still disagreeing, then one should go far away. If these two paths are not taken, even if you go to the book ten times, it will be difficult to escape the disaster. Pei Feng sighed for a long time, but in the end he did not listen.
Emperor Hui was stupid and demented, and once heard the sound of toads in Hualin Garden. He asked his followers, "This is called something for official affairs!" Or is it for a private matter? At that time, the world was seriously plagued, and some people were starving to death, and When Emperor Hui heard this, he said, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" "Because power is held by the villains under their command, decrees come from many departments and cannot be issued uniformly, and powerful people elect each other, just like market transactions." Jia and Guo acted arbitrarily, and bribery was blatantly carried out in the official arena. Lu Bao, a Nanyang native, made a "Treatise on the Theory of Qian" to ridicule this phenomenon, saying: "The image of money is round and square like heaven and earth, and people love it like a brother, and call it Kong Fang." Without virtue and highly respected, without power and with a hot hand, in and out of the high gate of the court, you can turn the crisis into safety, rise from the dead, change the honor into a lowly, and put the living to death. Therefore, when there is anger and quarrel, there can be no victory without money, when grievances and hardships cannot be saved without money, the enemy of the wronged family cannot solve the grievance without money, and the good reputation cannot be spread without money. The princes and nobles of the capital city today, the people in power, love us Brother Kong Fang without stopping, take the hand of the money, and hold the money tightly. Today's people only have money in their hearts. "In addition, the officials of the imperial court all pursued harsh and clear-sightedness to be relatively high-handed, and whenever they encountered a suspicious problem, the courtiers came up with their own explanations, so that the laws for punishing criminals were not uniform, so that cases and lawsuits arose one after another."
Pei Yun said on the table: "The punishment and rewards of the first king are appropriate and appropriate, and the scale of severity is unified, so there is a certain degree of law in the following implementation, and the officials are also at ease with their professions." In the past four years of strong winds in Yuankang, the roof tiles of the ancestral temple palace were blown off by the wind, and the taichang Xunyu was deposed, the matter was light, and the punishment was heavy, violating the normal regulations. In February of the fifth year of Yuankang, there was another strong wind, and the official in charge of Lantai took the previous incident as a lesson, was very frightened, and searched carefully between the corners of the house beams and houses, and found that there were fifteen places where the tiles were slightly crooked, so he imprisoned Tai chang and raised a prison case. In August this year, a seven-inch-and-a-half-thick thorn in the cemetery was cut off, and Officials such as Situ and Taichang rushed back and forth, although they knew that the matter was not big, but how to punish it was difficult to predict, dredging everywhere, each competing to wash themselves, and so far the imprisonment of Taichang has not been lifted. The provisions of the criminal law are limited and the reasons for violating the law are endless, so although there is a system of discussing and agreeing on disposition according to the facts when punishing, it is true that it cannot all be handled in accordance with the usual practice. As for the above-mentioned examples, they are all beyond the limit, so that I am afraid that the treacherous officials will arbitrarily determine the severity of the crime because of the attack. "After that, the matter of arbitrarily discussing and handling the provisions of the law has not stopped.
Liu Song, the Third Gong Shangshu, wrote to the imperial court again, saying: "Since modern times, the law has gradually come from many departments, the laws and regulations are very inconsistent, the officials do not know what should be observed, and the following do not know what is illegal and should be avoided, the treacherous person can thus realize his ideas, and the person in a high position is difficult to check his subordinates, the matter is the same and the comments are different, and the result is unfair. The monarch and his subordinates each have their own functions. In order for the decree to be obeyed by everyone, the person in charge is required to comply with the provisions; If there is something wrong with the rules, let the minister explain; In special cases, the monarch may randomly and accordingly decide accordingly according to the circumstances. The responsible officials complied with the provisions, such as the Western Han Dynasty Zhang Shizhi's fair handling of those who violated the emperor's travels in accordance with the law. Where the minister's explanation did not make sense, such as the Western Han Dynasty Gongsun Hong's sentence of Guo Xie's case. The monarch randomly cut off according to the situation, such as Han Gaozu's killing of Ding Gong. Many things in the world, all things that do not belong to this kind of thing, cannot be arbitrarily discussed and disposed of, and should be handled in accordance with laws and regulations. Only in this way can the law be trusted by the people, and there is no doubt in what the people hear, and there is no opportunity for the officials to do bad things, so that they can talk about the governance of the country. Therefore, the imperial court issued an edict saying: "Lang, Lingshi and other officials who encounter matters that need to be discussed outside the law should be reported to the case itself for handling opinions." "But it still can't get rid of the drawbacks of arbitrary deliberations."
Liu Song was promoted to the post of official Shangshu, established a system of evaluating officials in nine grades, and planned to make officials of all sizes in the imperial court seek promotion in their posts, assess the competence of officials, and clarify the reward and punishment system for officials. However, the Jia and Guo clans were good at the power of the imperial court, and those who wanted to become officials wanted to be promoted quickly, so Liu Song's plan could not be implemented.
Pei Recommended Wei Zhong of Pingyang to Zhang Hua. Zhang Huaqi used Wei Zhong, and Wei Zhong said that he was sick and resigned. Someone asked him why, and Wei Zhong said, "Zhang Hua is not realistic, Pei Feng is insatiably greedy, they abandon the system and etiquette of the imperial court and attach themselves to the rebellious empress, is this what the eldest husband did?" Pei Yun has had the heart to promote me several times, but I often worry that he is indulging in the abyss, and the aftermath will implicate me, can I pick up my clothes and follow him? ”
Suo Jing, the Marquis of Dunhuang in Guannei, foresaw that the world was about to be in chaos, pointed to the bronze camel in front of the Luoyang Imperial Palace and sighed: "Probably I will see you in the thorns later!" ”
At the beginning, Guangcheng JunGuo Huai, because Empress Jia had no children, often advised the empress to let her love the prince. Jia Mi was arrogant and arrogant, and repeatedly disrespected the prince, and Guangcheng Jun often reprimanded him severely. Guangcheng Jun planned to make Han Shou's daughter a crown princess, and the crown prince also wanted to marry Han to stabilize his position. Han Shou's wife Jia Wu and the empress did not agree, but hired Wang Yan's younger daughter for the crown prince. When the crown prince heard that Wang Yan's eldest daughter was beautiful, but the empress had hired her for Jia Mi, the prince was indignant and had some dissatisfied words. When Guangcheng Jun was critically ill, when he was dying, he took Empress Jia's hand and told her to be devoted to the prince, and her words were very earnest and pertinent. He also said, "Zhao Cang and Jia Wu will definitely disturb your family's affairs, and after I die, don't let them enter the palace at will, please remember my words with your heart!" The empress did not heed Guangcheng Jun's admonition, and plotted with Zhao Cang and Jia Wu to frame the prince.
The prince had a good reputation when he was young, but when he grew up, he did not like to study, only knew how to laugh and play with the people around him, and Empress Jia let eunuchs and other people seduce him, making him extravagant and arrogant. Therefore, the prince's reputation grew day by day, but arrogance and arrogance became more and more prominent, and sometimes indulged in amusement, ignoring the rules of greeting and serving the emperor every morning. He also made a deal in the palace to let his men buy and sell wine and meat, and the prince personally measured the weight, and the two pounds were not even a little different. The prince's mother was originally the daughter of the butcher's family, so the prince also loved to sell meat. The prince had half a million yuan a month, but he often advanced for two months, which was not enough to spend. He also let the West Garden sell vegetables, bluegrass seeds, chicken, flour and other items to make money. The prince also loves the little tricks of the Yin and Yang family, and usually has a lot of taboos. Jiang Tong, who was the crown prince who washed his horse, wrote to him, stating five things: "First, even if there is a slight illness, we should try to support the observance of the regulations of asking the marquis and serving the emperor every morning." Second, we should often meet with our masters and ask them for advice on the principle of goodness. Third, the matter of carving and painting the palace room should be reduced or eliminated, and the work of carving in the back garden should also be abolished at the same time. Fourth, acts such as selling vegetables in the West Garden damage the image of the country and also degrade their reputation. Fifth, for the repair of wall houses and the like, there is no need to stick to trivial taboos. "The prince did not accept it. Du Xi, a member of the Zhongshe people, worried about the unstable status of the prince, often gave wholehearted advice, advising the prince to practice the merits of virtue and character, maintain a good reputation, and speak earnestly. The prince resented Du Xi instead and put the needle in the felt where Du Xi often sat, and Du Xi was pricked and bled by the needle. Du Xi was Du Xian's son.
The crown prince had a tough personality, knew that Jia Mi relied on the power of the empress and was arrogant and noble, and could not tolerate and perfunctory Jia Mi. Jia Mi was serving as a waiter at that time, and when he arrived at the prince's residence, the prince sometimes left him aside and went to the back garden to play by himself. The crown prince's official, Zhan Shi Pei Quan, advised the crown prince: "Jia Mi is a doting person close to the empress, and once he enters into rumors, the situation will be dangerous." "The prince does not accept. Sure enough, Jia Mi slandered the empress and framed the prince, saying: "The prince has reserved a lot of private wealth to use to make friends with villains, and it is because of the plot against you." If the emperor dies and he ascends to the throne, he will definitely treat you according to what you did to Yang Jun and the empress dowager in the past, and for him, it will be easy to kill us and depose you and imprison you in Kim Yong City. It is better to make plans early and re-establish a kind and obedient person as a prince, so that you can be safe. Empress Jia adopted Jia Mi's strategy and publicized Prince Yang's shortcomings, which were widely disseminated. He also pretended to be pregnant, prepared items such as grass and grass in the palace, and took Han Zuwei, the son of his brother-in-law Han Shou, to raise him, and planned to let Han Zuwei replace the prince.
At this time, both inside and outside the imperial court knew that Empress Jia had the idea of murdering the crown prince, and Zhao Jun, the protector of the army, asked the prince to depose the empress, but the prince did not listen. Zuo Wei led Liu Bian, a Dongping man, to ask Zhang Hua about Empress Jia's plot, and Zhang Hua said, "I don't know. Liu Bian said, "I was originally a petty official in Xuchang, and I was promoted by your fulfillment to be here today." For the grace of the soldiers, so the words are endless; But you have a lot of doubts about me! Zhang Hua said, "If Empress Jia has such a plot, what are you going to do?" Liu Bian said: "There are many talented Junjie gathered around the prince, and the left guard, right guard, forward guard, and rear guard rate guard who guarded the prince commanded 10,000 elite soldiers." You are in an important position of counseling the monarch and presiding over the affairs of the country. If he could get your order, the crown prince would enter the imperial court to record Shang Shushi, so that the deposing of Empress Jia in Jin Yongcheng would only require the strength of two small eunuchs. Zhang Hua said: "Now that the Son of Heaven governs the country, and the prince is his son, I have not accepted the mission of presiding over the state affairs, and I havetily done such a thing with the prince, which is an act of ignoring the monarch and ignoring the father and showing my filial piety to the world." Besides, powerful foreign relatives fill the imperial court, and authoritarianism does not come from one place, can there be a certain degree of certainty of success? At that time, Empress Jia often sent close henchmen to spy outside the imperial court and heard some remarks about Liu Bian's attempt to assist the crown prince in deposing the empress, so she transferred Liu Bian to yongzhou. Liu Bian knew that his words had been leaked out, so he took poison and committed suicide.
In December, the crown prince's eldest son Sima Yu fell ill, and the crown prince sought the title of prince for him, but did not approve it. Sima Li was seriously ill, and the crown prince prayed for him to pray for peace. When Empress Jia heard about it, she pretended that Emperor Hui was unwell and summoned the crown prince to the court. After the crown prince entered the palace, the empress did not see him, arranged him in another room, and sent the maid Chen Wu to give the prince three liters of wine under the order of Emperor Hui, so that he could drink it all. The crown prince resigned and said that he could not drink three liters, and Chen Wu coerced: "No filial piety! If the Son of Heaven gives you wine and you do not drink it, is there something dirty in the wine? The prince was forced to drink it, so he got drunk. Empress Jia asked pan Yue, the attendant of the Yellow Gate, to write a draft of a letter, and then asked the little maid to take advantage of the fact that the prince was drunk, and falsely claimed that Emperor Hui had ordered him to copy it, saying: "Your Majesty should decide for yourself, and if you don't break it yourself, I will enter the palace to break it for you." The empress should also make her own decision as soon as possible, if she does not break it herself, I should personally break it, and at the same time agree with Concubine Xie that when the palace and the palace are together, please do not hesitate to hesitate, so as to cause trouble. I set up an alliance under the sun, the moon, and the stars to drink blood, and the emperor allowed me to take the role of sweeping away the scourge, and Li Daowen was king, and Jiang Shi was the queen. Wish to come true, I will use pigs, cattle, sheep three animals to offer to the Northern JunxingDou. The prince was drunk and groggy, so he wrote it. Half of the words could not be seen clearly, and the empress drew up the words and presented them to Emperor Hui.
On the 30th day, Emperor Hui went to the Qiandian Palace, summoned Gong gong and Qing into the palace, and asked Dong Meng to show the prince's letter and the edict written on green paper, and Emperor Hui said: "Sima Song's letter is so rebellious, now give death." "The prince's letter and the edict on green paper were passed on to the princes and ministers, and everyone was silent. Zhang Hua said: "This is a great calamity for the country, and since ancient times, it has often led to the loss of life and chaos because of the deposing of the original prince. Besides, my time to own the world is still short, and I hope that Your Majesty will consider it carefully! Pei Feng believed that it was necessary to first examine and examine the person who delivered the letter, and then check the handwriting of the prince's daily life, otherwise, I am afraid that there are false and untrue places in it. Empress Jia took out more than a dozen notices written by the prince, and the officials looked at them and did not dare to say anything different.
Empress Jia then asked Dong Meng to pretend to be Princess Changguang's words and said to Emperor Hui: "This matter should be decided as soon as possible, and the ministers have different opinions, and those who do not agree with this edict should be dealt with according to military law." "The ministers have agreed to the west of the sun, but they have not yet agreed. Empress Jia, seeing that Zhang Hua and other ministers were resolute and afraid of a change in things, suggested that the crown prince be deposed as a commoner, and Emperor Hui approved this proposal. So he sent Shangshu and Yu to the Eastern Palace with the runes and deposed the prince as a commoner. The crown prince changed his clothes and went out, received the edict, walked out of the Chenghua Gate, and rode in a rough ox cart, and Ma Tang of the Dongwu Company led a team of soldiers to escort the prince and his concubine Wang Shi, as well as the three sons of Sima Yu, Sima Zang, and Sima Shang to Jin Yongcheng and imprisoned. Wang Yan asked for a divorce from her daughter and the crown prince, and when she agreed, the concubine Wang Shi returned to her mother's house in tears. Emperor Hui executed the crown prince's mother, Xie Shuyuan, and Sima Li's mother, Jiang Jun, who had the status of Baolin.
In the first year of Yongkang (庚申, 300 AD), spring, the first month, 癸海朔 (初一), amnesty for the world, changed the era name to Yongkang. Sima Yan, a lieutenant of the Western Rong Colonel, took the coffin to the front of the palace and wrote: "The Han Dynasty prince supported the army to resist Emperor Wu's orders, and everyone only said that the prince's sins should be flogged. Now when Sima Song accepted the punishment, he still did not dare to violate the Taoist system, his sins were much lighter than those of the prince, and he should choose a master for the prince again, first give him a stern teaching, and if he did not repent, it was not too late to abandon him. After the book was submitted, Emperor Hui did not read it. Yan Miao was the grandson of Yan Pu.
Empress Jia arranged for another eunuch to surrender herself, falsely saying that she intended to participate in the rebellion of the crown prince. Emperor Hui issued an edict ordering the surrender to be published among the ministers of the Gongqing, and sent the Tobu Company Ma Tong to lead a thousand soldiers to watch over the crown prince, imprison him in Xuchang Palace, and order the bookkeeper Yushi Zhang Zhen to carry the runes to guard. He also issued an edict saying that the courtiers around the prince could not bid farewell to the prince. Xie Ma Jiangtong, Pan Tao, Wang Dun, Du Rui, Lu Yao and others offended the ban to Yishui and bid farewell to the prince with tears in their eyes. Lieutenant Man Fen arrested Jiang Tong and others and sent them to prison. Among them were those who were escorted to Henan prisons. Henan Yin Leguang released them all and sent them away. Those who were escorted to prison in Luoyang County have not yet been released. The official Sun Yan said to Jia Mi, "Therefore, the reason for deposing the crown prince is because he has done many evil deeds. Now the courtiers of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace risked their crimes to bid farewell to the Prince and severely punished them, which was widely spread, but it preached the virtues of the Prince, and it was better to release them. So Jia Mi told Luoyang County to order Cao Yu to release them. Le Guang was also not punished for releasing people without authorization. Wang Dun was wang lan's grandson, and Cao Xi was cao zhao's grandson. The crown prince went to Xuchang and wrote to the concubine Wang Shi, stating that he had been framed and wronged, and the concubine's father, Wang Yan, did not dare to report the letter to Emperor Hui.
Emperor Chengzi (14), Emperor Sima Yu,000, died.
In March, blood rain fell on Weishi County, the unknown demon star appeared in the south, the Taibai star appeared during the day, and the two stars in the middle platform were separated. Zhang Hua's younger son, Zhang Yun, persuaded Zhang Hua to resign from his post to avoid disaster, but Zhang Hua did not accept it, saying: "The way of heaven is far-reaching and long and unpredictable, so it is better to wait and see how it changes." ”
(Sima Lun secretly plotted with Sun Xiu to usurp the throne, intending to get rid of the famous ministers in the imperial court first, and took the opportunity to retaliate against those who had been resentful in the past, so he escorted Zhang Hua, Pei Jun, Xie Qi, and Xie Jie to the palace.) Zhang Hua said to Zhang Lin, "Do you want to murder zhongchen?" Zhang Lin claimed that Emperor Hui questioned Zhang Hua in the edict, saying: "As the prime minister, the crown prince was deposed, but you could not die for integrity, why is this?" Zhang Hua said: "In the controversy in front of the Qiandian Temple, the process of my advising the emperor is all recorded and preserved, and can be reviewed." Zhang Lin said: "Advice is not accepted, why not resign?" Zhang Hua was speechless. So he killed them all, and killed the three tribes. The daughter of the untied knot has promised to marry Pei Shi and will be married the next day, but when the disaster comes, the Pei family plans to recognize her relatives to keep her alive, and the untied daughter says: "Since the family is already like this, what am I still alive for!" So he was also implicated and executed. The court therefore negotiated the abolition of the old system, and the daughter was not executed with her parents. At noon (the fourth day of the first month), Sima Lun sat by the Duanmen Gate and sent Shangshu and Yu Zhifujie to escort the Jia clan, who had been reduced to a commoner, to Jin Yongcheng and kill Liu Zhen, Dong Meng, Sun Wei, Cheng Zhao, and others. Situ Wang Rong and the officials who served inside and outside the palace were implicated in the removal of officials because they were relatives and henchmen of Zhang Hua, Pei Yun, and others. Yan Miao touched Zhang Hua's corpse and wept bitterly: "I have long advised you to resign but refused to resign, and today I will inevitably die, this is fate!" ”
Foreshadowing the fate of Jia Nanfeng and Sima Song is detailed in Sima Lun's usurpation of the throne. ）
