In the history of China, there was a mentally handicapped emperor, Sima Xin, the Jin Hui Emperor, the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty.
One thing can explain how mentally retarded Sima Xin was. In a certain year and place, there was a famine, starvation and displacement.
At the imperial court, the ministers were discussing this matter, and Sima Xin suddenly asked. The people have no corn to feed themselves, so why not eat minced meat? Translated as the common people have nothing to eat, so why not eat meat?
The ministers are crying and laughing, but how did such a person who was obviously mentally retarded and could not even take care of himself in life, become a prince, and finally an emperor?
Because he is the eldest son, he has the right of priority to inherit, in ancient times, the throne, title, property, etc. to whom these things should be passed on, that is particular, so the principle to be observed is to put etiquette first, two of which are to establish the first first, and then the chief.
It is necessary to explain here first, many people think that rich men in ancient times are polygamous, in fact, this expression is inaccurate, it should be a polygamous system, whether it is a prince or an emperor, you can only marry a full wife, other concubines, you can marry as much as you want, it depends on your ability.
The son born to the right wife is called 嫡子, and the son born to other wives is called 庶子, which is passed down from 嫡嫡. If there are several concubines, what should I do? Then respect the elder and the eldest brother as the father, even if the eldest is a stupid or even a demented, as long as he lives, he will enjoy the right of priority inheritance.
Sima Xin was Sima Yan's second son, but his brother died in infancy, and Sima Xin became Sima Yan's de facto eldest son.
Therefore, Sima Xin was naturally stupid and stupid. However, this did not prevent him from being made crown prince at the age of nine. In the first year of Taixi, the Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan died, and the 32-year-old crown prince Sima Xin ascended the throne, which was the Jin Hui Emperor.
Sima Xin became emperor, and Crown Princess Jia Nanfeng became empress. In people's impressions, the ancient harem was full of beautiful women and colorful flags, but Jia Nanfeng was the most famous ugly empress in Chinese history.
According to the records, Jia Nanfeng is ugly and short, it stands to reason that if he marries such a wife, Sima Zhi should resist, how can the prince of the hall find an ugly woman as a wife? But any normal person, he is difficult to accept.
You are right, the key is this Sima Chen, he is not a normal person, you let a person who can't tell whether a frog is male or female to judge a person's beauty and ugliness, which is also too difficult for him.
Because of dementia, he has no concept of whether he looks beautiful or ugly. This is very interesting, our common people watch big dramas in novels, the stories in it are usually talents with beautiful people, beautiful women with heroes, people Sima family is good, directly come to a fool with an ugly woman.
This is how a beautiful and twisty drama begins. In addition to being ugly, Jia Nanfeng is also jealous and vicious. When Sima Xin was still the crown prince, whenever Jia Nanfeng saw Sima Xin with other women, she would be jealous.
According to historical records, she herself killed several women with her own hands. Once, Sima Xin had a concubine about to give birth, and Jia Nanfeng actually pierced someone's stomach with a halberd, so that both mother and son died.
For this matter, Sima Yan, who was still the emperor at the time, almost deposed Jia Nanfeng's crown princess, but fortunately, under the protection of Empress Dowager Yang, Jia Nanfeng escaped.
How can such a person be a mother of the world? Jia Nanfeng was also very obsessed with power, and in the first year of Yuan Kang, he contacted Sima Wei the King of Chu to stage a coup d'état, killed Yang Jun, a powerful minister at the time, and deposed Empress Dowager Yang, who was kind to him, and finally Empress Dowager Yang starved to death by him. He was 34 years old.
He also asked Sima Wei to kill Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and for a while the government and the public were shaken. In order to calm everyone's anger, he killed the donkey and killed Sima Wei, who had given him great power, and Jiang Nanfeng finally seized the highest power and monopolized the power.
After that, Jia Nanfeng also became more and more presumptuous, she was already dissatisfied with Sima Chen's incomprehensible husband, and at this time she did not put this man in her eyes. According to the historical books Jin Shu and Zizhi Tongjian.
After that, Jia Nanfeng became very promiscuous, in addition to fornicating with the imperial physician Ling, he often sent people on the road to find beautiful young men for his enjoyment.
Everyone knows that Wu Zetian also has many male pets after he took power, which is not difficult to understand, but Jia Nanfeng is different from him, after Jia Nanfeng spoiled the male pet, he killed these men, this perverted psychology seriously destroyed the psychology of men, making the court boil up and down, and Jia Nanfeng has become a rare slut in history.
Some people say, what is Sima Xin doing at this time? He didn't do anything. Sima Xin was indifferent to what Jia Nanfeng did, because his IQ was too low and he couldn't understand many things.
Although Jia Nanfeng can do whatever he wants, the only thing that is unsatisfactory is that he did not have a son. The crown prince at that time was Sima Yi, who was not Jia Nanfeng's biological son, and the relationship between their mother and son was not good.
If Sima Yi became emperor in the future, Jia Nanfeng's fate would definitely be troublesome. Thereupon. Jia Nanfeng made a terrible decision to depose the crown prince.
He first framed the crown prince for rebellion and imprisoned the crown prince Sima Yi. In March of the first year of Yongkang, he sent people to poison Sima Yi, who died at the age of 23.
The kings of the clan were very angry at Jia Nanfeng's unauthorized killing of the crown prince, and Sima Lun the King of Zhao contacted Sima Lun the King of Qi and others to stage a coup d'état and capture Jia Nanfeng.
In the end, Jia Nanfeng was deposed as a commoner. Soon he was also poisoned, and after killing Jia Nanfeng, because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, all the kings wanted to be emperors, what should I do? Fight, anyway, everyone has an army in their hands, and whoever has a hard fist speaks.
So, there are eight kings who go to war, today I kill you, tomorrow he kills me. This power war of the royal clan lasted for 16 years, and in the end, Sima Yi won the final victory and monopolized power, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings ended here.
This war is the forest planted by the Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan, dozens of Wang Ye is a large pile of dry firewood, Jia Nanfeng is the one who took the torch to light the fire, the entire Western Jin Dynasty was a freak from the beginning of its establishment, the impact of this war on China is indeed too great, not only directly caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of people displaced.
More importantly, the chaos caused by this war brought an almost devastating blow to the Han nation in the Central Plains, and had an extremely profound impact on the demographic structure, psychological quality and national self-confidence of the Han nation.
What was Sima Cheng doing during this time? He was kidnapped and abducted today, and he came to this house today and that house tomorrow. As always, he ate, drank and entertained, and left the power to govern the country to others. Sima Xin, who had been confused for 16 years, certainly would not know that he had brought about this catastrophe.
Until one cold winter, he had eaten half of the flatbread in his mouth. Died suddenly at the age of 48. Because he had no son, the throne had to pass to his younger brother Sima Chi. How did Sima Zhi die? The banned book said that he died, but did not say the cause, and Zizhi Tongjian said that he was poisoned by eating a large cake.
It is not clear who poisoned him, but most people believe that Sima Yue killed him. Sima Zhi? He is happy because he has never felt the so-called pain, he does not know the complexity of this world, and he does not know the horror of this world.
He kept looking at the world with his innocent eyes, and eventually he died indifferently. But what he left to the common people at that time was endless calamities.
