During the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, was actually mixed. When Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, attacked Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, Sima Rui also responded positively and planned to brush up on the experience of the waves.
After all, all the princes of the Sima family have moved, and if they do not mix some battle achievements, they will not be able to share the meat in the future. Unfortunately, Sima Yue failed miserably and ran away on his own. Sima Rui's strength was weak, and he was directly beaten by Sima Ying on the ground and arrested by the way.
Fortunately, this big brother was clever enough, not only escaped, but also went on a business trip to Luoyang, and took his wife and children together to his own feudal state.
After experiencing this, Sima Rui finally realized that the Central Plains region was not something he could play! So he set his sights on the south. Although the south was relatively backward at that time, it was not useless, at least Jianye City (Nanjing) was still developing well!
At that time, the last emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Huan of Jin ascended the throne in Chang'an, and it was not long before he was besieged by the Former Zhao clique. Emperor Huan of Jin immediately summoned Sima Rui to lead his troops to qin wang, but unfortunately at this time Sima Rui waved his hand: I'm sorry for you! I'm going south to start a business!
In this way, the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed, and the north was from then on caught in the dispute between the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. During this time, the south was very stable, because Sima Rui went south and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" >, the king and the horse are in the world, which is definitely a major feature of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. </h1>
Sima Rui's original strength was actually very weak, and during the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the eight princes of the Sima family did not look up to Sima Rui at all. After all, those eight were either Sima Yan's close relatives or the elders of the Sima family.
But what about Sima Rui? His grandfather Sima Ling was only Sima Yi's son, that is to say, Sima Rui was not a person on the line of Sima Zhao and Sima Yan, and his strength was naturally much worse.
If it were not for Wang Dao and Wang Dun, two local tycoon brothers, who actively supported Sima Rui with their own people, then Sima Rui would not have had the opportunity to become emperor at all. Wang Dao was the prime minister and in charge of internal affairs, and Wang Dun was a general and in charge of the military. Therefore, Sima Rui's reign was always constrained by Wang Dao and Wang Dun.
So didn't the Jin Dynasty have loyal subjects to oppose this? For example, the two protagonists we are very familiar with, Zu Ti and Liu Kun, who are very familiar with the chicken dancing! Both of them were fierce men with heavy arms. How could they allow the king to share the world with the horses?
It turned out that the ambitions of these two fierce men were not in the south, they had long wanted to retake the territory of the north, Liu Kun did not mention it, he had never reported to the south, and resisted the forces of Former Zhao and Later Zhao in Youzhou, Hezhou and other places, and as a result, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was just established, and this old brother was sacrificed.
Zu Ti actually stayed in the south for a while, but unfortunately he still couldn't sit still. All the while clamoring for the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei's image was very close to Zu Ti's. Sima Rui was extremely disgusted with the Northern Expedition, why? Because there are too many brothers of the Sima family in the north, if they are brought back, will their throne not be threatened?
This is exactly the same as the embarrassment of the later Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Shuo, so Sima Rui was very unimpressed with Zu Ti's Northern Expedition, Zu Ti was very angry, so he recruited his own troops to buy horses to the Northern Expedition, you don't say, the result was that people also won many battles, and even trotted all the way to the bank of the Yellow River, which frightened the Hu people and trembled.
Unfortunately, Sima Rui and the Wang family brothers felt that this elder brother was a bit overwhelmed by the high merits of the lord, so they arranged for their own people to take over the territory in the north. In this atmosphere of the Northern Expedition, Zu Di became depressed and eventually died alive.
No one could restrict the two brothers of the old Wang family from taking power anymore, so the matter of the king and ma sharing the world would exist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a long time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56" > second, old Wang jiaxing, my old Xie family and old Huan family can't do it? </h1>
Introducing many dynasties, all of them take the emperor as the protagonist, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is an exception, because the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty basically has no sense of existence, and the most existent is this group of powerful ministers.
Wang Dao was loyal to the Sima family, at least on the surface. Wang Dun, on the other hand, was very arrogant, and he did not pay attention to Sima Rui at all because he had military power in his hands.
Sima Rui was very angry, so he began to promote his own people. Before there was any result, Wang Dun was not satisfied, and without saying a word, he raised an army in Wuchang in the name of the Qing Jun's side and went straight to Jiankang.
While scolding Wang Dun in the imperial court, Wang Dao secretly funded Wang Dun, which was really a two-faced faction! In the end, Wang Dun invaded Jiankang and killed several people promoted by Sima Rui, which frightened Sima Rui into taking off his dragon robe and sending him to Wang Dun: Wang Er, if you want to be emperor, you should have said it earlier! I've been bored for a long time, you take it.
Wang Dun laughed loudly, turned his head and left. It seems that he does not look up to this throne. Since then, Sima Rui's regime has been no different from that of a puppet.
After Sima Rui died of hatred, his son Sima Shao resolutely avenged him, led his troops to quell Wang Dun's rebellion, and scared Wang Dun to death. Unfortunately, this elder brother only reigned for 3 years, and died at the age of 27, otherwise the Eastern Jin Dynasty might have a different situation.
After that, the Eastern Jin Dynasty experienced a bunch of short-lived emperors, sima yan, the emperor of Jincheng, died at the age of 22, Sima Yue, the emperor of Jin Kang, died at the age of 23, sima Qi, the emperor of Jin, died at the age of 19, and Sima Pi, the emperor of Jin, died at the age of 25.
Did so many emperors who died early create conditions for cultivating powerful subjects? So during this period, the Xie family and the Huan family appeared one after another. The Wang family in the "Old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan" is the Wang Dao and Wang Dun family, and the Xie family refers to the Xie An and Xie Xuan families.
After Huan Wen destroyed Cheng han, his position of power reached its peak, and he tentatively went to the imperial court to make group adjustments to see how many people supported him to add jiu xi to become king, and as a result, a group of loyal ministers led by Xie An had been delaying the investigation results, and finally succeeded in killing Huan Wen.
Although Xie An himself was a courtier, he commanded a protracted war. At that time, the north was unified by Former Qin, and former Qin Heavenly King Jian Jian planned to go south to destroy Jin. The Battle of Shuishui broke out, at this time Xie An commanded Ruoding, with 80,000 troops to defeat the attack of Former Qin's 800,000 troops, and since then his prestige has reached its peak.
Unfortunately, the emperor at that time was Sima Yao, the Emperor of Xiaowu, and this elder brother was one of the most effective emperors in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He found that Xie An's strength and prestige were too great, and he began to suspect Xie An. Frightened, Xie An quickly surrendered his power and chose to go home and enjoy it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > Third, Huan Wen's problem is far from simple, because his son Huan Xuan has risen! </h1>
In addition to the failure of the group transfer, Huan Wen actually suffered a bitter blow from Murong Chui during the Northern Expedition against Former Yan, which failed to become emperor. This brother ended up hating, but his son Huan Xuan always remembered this.
Because of his relatively small official position, he often lamented:
The father is the Kyushu Bo, and the son is the chief of the five lakes!
At that time, the old Huan family's territory was in the land of Jingzhou, so after resigning, Huan Xuan ran to Jingzhou to settle down. However, Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, satirized Huan Xuan with things that Showed Signs of Rebellion by Huan Wen, frightening Huan Xuan into weeping bitterly, and from then on he hated Sima Daozi as a person.
After the death of Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao, his stupid son Sima Dezong succeeded to the throne, and due to insufficient intelligence, the power of the court was handed over to Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, and Sima Daozi was an alcoholic, and he knew about drinking all day, so he transferred the power to his son Sima Yuanxian.
Sima Yuanxian was not polite, not only taking over the power of the old father, but also conveniently driving the drunkard old father out of power. When the father and son of the living treasure were still making trouble, they didn't know that Huan Xuan was already staring at them!
After being ridiculed last time, Huan Xuan was determined to clean up Sima Daozi and fulfill his father Huan Wen's ambitions. So he first seized control of Jingzhou and then marched on Jiankang. Sima Yuanxian was frightened and immediately sent troops to suppress it, and the result was that he was not an opponent at all.
In this way, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of this pair of living treasure father and son, and Sima Daozi and Sima Yuanxian father and son were also slaughtered by Huan Xuan. With the help of his hands, Huan Xuan replaced the Eastern Jin Dynasty and established the Huan Chu regime, finally completing what Huan Wen did not do that year.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53">
</h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" >4, Liu Yu ended the Eastern Jin Dynasty. </h1>
Huan Xuan ostensibly destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he had no bottom in his heart, so he did not kill the stupid emperor Sima Dezong of Jin'an, and did not live in Jiankang for a long time, so he chose to return to Jingzhou Jiangling, or his old lair was more comfortable!
From this point, we can also see that Huan Xuan does not have much ambition at all. A good boy is determined to be in all directions, where is the reason for the turtle to shrink in his own home?
As a result, Huan Xuan claimed to be emperor only a few months later, when he was defeated and destroyed by Liu Yu, who was born in the Northern Province. Who is Liu Yu? He was not a member of the Door Valve Family, and had nothing to do with the Wang Family, the Xie Family, and the Huan Family. His ancestor was Liu Jiao, the King of Chuyuan in the Western Han Dynasty, who was the younger brother of Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han Gao.
However, the Han Dynasty had become history at that time, and Liu Yu's family was very poor and could only rely on selling straw shoes to survive. Seeing this profession, did you think of another person in the old Liu family?
Liu Yu and Liu Bei are different, Liu Bei sold straw shoes, and also knew to subsidize the family, but Liu Yu sold straw shoes to get money, and without saying a word, he took it to gamble, and when he lost the bet, he ate and drank in vain, and then he was beaten by others. Known as the Street Slipper!
If it weren't for the Beifu soldiers recruiting troops and buying horses, Liu Yu might have been a street wanderer for a lifetime! After becoming a member of the Beifu Soldiers, Liu Yu followed the famous Beifu general Liu Gaozhi in the Southern Expedition to the Northern War, made great contributions, and gradually became the commander of the party.
After defeating Huan Xuan, Liu Yu's prestige increased greatly, and after that, he successively helped the Eastern Jin Dynasty to pacify Lu Xun in Lingnan, Liu Yi in Jiangling, and Western Shu, retake Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and complete the unification of the south. After that, he destroyed Southern Yan and Later Qin, defeated Northern Wei, surrendered Qiuchi, and recovered Chang'an and Luoyang. It's a fierce man.
Therefore, the Eastern Jin Dynasty could not reward Liu Yu, and had already added nine tins to him to seal the Duke of Song, and one step further, that is, to be king! In those days, a king with a different surname was a sign of usurpation.
Sure enough, it was not long before Liu Yu destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty and established the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty, opening the era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After 19 years, Tuoba Tao, the Emperor Taiwu of northern Wei, completed the unification of the north.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > Summary: Yiguan Nandu is perhaps the biggest feature of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. </h1>
When the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in a quiet corner of the south, the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms were very happy in the north. The culture of the Central Plains was devastated and in a state of crumbling.
At this time, the major noble families of the Jin Dynasty chose to go south with their own families, so they retained the purest Central Plains culture. Many people say that there are differences in the cultures of the north and the south, but in fact, this difference has gradually formed since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The south is the reserve of the Central Plains culture, while the north is the place where the Culture of the Central Plains evolved after the great integration of the nationalities. Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty was useless in other aspects, it was indispensable in cultural inheritance.
