The establishment of the Western Jin dynasty ended the separation of the Wei, Shu, and Wu kingdoms, and the rise of the Sima clan gradually replaced the Cao Wei regime.
As a subordinate of Cao Cao, Sima Yi not only participated in auxiliary government many times, but also began to seize military power. Sima Yi's goal of acting Wei was also successively promoted by his son and grandson, which can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, which is well known. The Sima family's reign may have given people at that time a hint that strength was king.
Therefore, this era is very lively, usurpation of power and seizure of power are staged in turn, and all kinds of curfews also have delusions; Of course, this is also an era of talents, but it is a pity that everyone in the face of political competition cannot do it alone. Lu Ji Luyun, the brother of the Western Jin Dynasty, may be a typical example, becoming a victim of political struggle.
Killed prince
The ancestors of the Lu brothers were from the Jiangdong clan, their grandfather Lu Xun was a Sun Wu heavy minister during the Three Kingdoms period, and their father Lu Kang was also a famous general of Sun Wu. The ancestors all worked for Sun Wu, and the Western Jin Dynasty replaced him, and Lu Ji felt heartache.
He even studied in retreat at home for more than ten years, and finally thought clearly before seeking official employment. Unlike their fathers, who devoted themselves to the military, the Lu brothers were obsessed with academics.
The Lu brothers were very talented, and people of insight at that time had long valued them. Lu Ji was recommended as the prince to wash horses, and was promoted to the palace lang, attached to Jia Yao. Later, Sima Lun the King of Zhao wanted to seek the imperial throne, and Lu Ji helped him kill Jia Yao, and he was made the Marquis of Guanzhong by Sima Lun.
However, Sima Lun's position was not long in place, and other forces began to rebel. Sima Lun was killed, and Lu Ji, who was promoted to Zhongshulang at that time, was saved by Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and only then did he save his life.
Sima Ying's life-saving grace to Lu Ji, Lu Ji also didn't want to put himself under the benefactor, and took his younger brother Lu Yun. Sima Ying tried his best to protect Lu Ji, he must have valued the talent of the Lu family, and he valued the two Lu brothers very much. This also gave Lu Ji a beautiful fantasy, thinking that Sima Ying would definitely be able to do something, so he followed Sima Ying with all his heart.
Even his former friends advised him that the Central Plains was too chaotic and that it would be better to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible. He couldn't listen to it and made up his mind to stay in Luoyang. Soon after, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, rebelled against the king of Changsha.
Lu Ji was also appointed as a later general at once, and together with other generals, led the army to attack Luoyang. Lu Ji was very uneasy at this time, and he knew that he was not suitable for leading troops to fight and wanted to resign from his post.
Sima Ying did not allow him to leave. Lu Ji was too favored by Sima Ying, causing the envy of others. There are indispensable adulterers who say bad things about Lu Ji beside Sima Ying. When Sima Ying heard this, he also went to his heart, and seemed to feel that there was some reason.
It just so happened that Lu Ji led the troops to Luoyang and came out of trouble, and the eunuch Meng Jiu under his subordinates thought of making his father an official and a half-job, and Lu Yun resolutely opposed attracting hatred.
Meng Chao was very arrogant and had no one in his eyes, and also framed Lu Ji for rebellion. When such a real battle was fought, Lu Ji still could not command Meng Chao, and Lu Ji was a general on the surface, but there were many people who did not obey Lu Ji at all.
The land plane was also ostracized by the northerners, and this battle can be imagined, and the troops were defeated. After returning, Meng Jiu also said some lies beside Sima Ying, causing Sima Ying's suspicion of Lu Ji to become deeper and deeper. Simply ordered the capture of the land plane. Lu Ji was killed in the army at the age of forty-three.
Soon after, his younger brother Lu Yun also died in prison. It is said that after the death of the Lu brothers, there was a vision in the sky, fog was everywhere, and the snow on the flat ground was several feet thick, and people said that Lu Ji died in vain. Even if the Lu brothers are not born as officials, they have the option of seclusion. Or behind the door, the persistence of the family mission, the pursuit of the personal self.
The death of the Lu brothers also implies that the soil for cultivating heroic talents has disappeared, and the Western Jin Dynasty is really not a good dynasty.
The short-lived dynasty of the Western Jin Dynasty
What kind of era is the Western Jin Dynasty, an era of hooligans everywhere, an era of propriety and happiness, and an era of civil strife. In the end, it suffers the people at the bottom and harms the capable people. It is said that in the era of the rule of man, the requirements for the personal quality and ability of the ruler are extremely high, which is directly related to the stability and rise and fall of the country.
The civil strife in the Western Jin Dynasty perished, and the incumbent was to blame. Emperor Wu of Jin's debauchery and luxury, indulging in wine; Prince Sima Zhen was actually an idiot and interfered in the harem. The power of the family has swelled dramatically. Pile by pile, piece by piece, all stirred up the Western Jin Dynasty. The family of door valves is difficult to eradicate.
Sima Yi and Sima Kang were able to lay the foundation for the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, and thanks to the support of the family gate valve at that time, it was only later that the seizure of power was less sword-blind. The "Nine-Product Zhongzheng System" is a gift to the family family, helping this group of people to seek benefits and consolidate their power. There is no doubt that this is one of the scourges.
The kings of the Western Jin Dynasty were chaotic. The reign of the Western Jin Dynasty led to a palace coup, and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" made the strangulation between the royal families more chaotic, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in the war, and disasters were frequent and ungoverned.
The people at the bottom went into exile. Displaced people are everywhere, burning, looting, and social unrest has become even more unstable. What is even more frightening is that the displaced people often act as a clan, which provides a convenient condition for the displaced people to revolt.
The "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" did not stop, and the kings were ambitious and attracted the forces of ethnic minorities to raise troops. When Sima Ying was in control of the dynasty, Wang Jun of Youzhou joined forces with Xianbei in the north to attack Sima Ying.
The ethnic minorities of the Western Jin Dynasty went south to the Central Plains, and the Western Jin Dynasty was the weakest inside, and it was typical to lead wolves into the house. There will be chaos, a sharp decline in the population, social and economic damage, successive natural and man-made disasters, and the dynasty will run out.
The rulers of the Western Jin Dynasty also resigned themselves to depravity, and in the chaotic times, the princes and aristocrats were still busy enjoying themselves. The whole dynasty broke down from the roots. The darkness and corruption of the Western Jin Dynasty, no junjie talent can escape natural disasters and man-made disasters. And the reputation of the literati in Erlu is even more to be cursed by politicians and used as a struggle for power groups.
Erriku is the best in a generation
Influenced by the environment of the times, the poetry scene of the Western Jin Dynasty was in a transitional stage at that time. The upper undertakes Jian'an, and the lower Qi Southern Dynasty. Moreover, the cultural level at that time was high, and the Maison was addicted to pleasure. This period is represented by the poems of Lu Ji and Pan Yue, and the poetry style is gorgeous. The description is complicated, and Lu Ji's genius Xiuyi's rhetoric is even more called "Taikang Zhiying".
At that time, Lu Ji completed "Sandu Fu", and for a time, the noble family competed to see it, and for a time Luoyang paper was expensive. Lu Ji handed down 105 poems, and his creative methods and rhetoric also contributed to the development of literary theory. Not only is he talented in poetry, but also good at calligraphy, and his Zhang Cao work "Pingfu Post" is known as the nine "treasures of the town and country".
Lu Yun's articles are inferior to Lu Ji's poetry, but his arguments are more than Lu Ji's. Lu Yun's writing style is fresh and rigorous, and he is good at long and short stories. If the Lu brothers had been born in an era of political clarity, their achievements would have been higher.
However, the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and the little people never had subjectivity in the face of the torrent of history, and they all passively pushed forward.
And the nine-product Zhongzheng system that gives back to the family family is also miserable for talented people. Throughout the life of the Lu brothers, their ambition is very simple, that is, to join the Ming Lord and be recognized, after all, Maxima did not meet Bole.
Most of the other celebrities in the Western Jin Dynasty ended up the same, and the end was difficult to escape the death of the guests. Times and individuals have always shared the same destiny, and a good era is very important to talented people.
On the other hand, a bad era will destroy a group of heroes step by step. Since ancient times, how thin the lives of sages are, and the treacherous and evil are all marquises. What is left for future generations is only endless regret.
