Sima Zheng, Emperor Hui of Jin (259-306 AD), courtesy name Zhengdu. He was the second son of Emperor Wu of Jin, reigning from 290 to 306 AD. One of the few demented emperors in Chinese history.
After Emperor Wu of Jin completed the unification of the whole country and established the great cause of the Jin Dynasty, he began to slack off in government affairs and indulge in amusement. Emperor Wu of Jin liked women, and there were as many as 10,000 beauties in the harem. He also spoiled a lot of women. These beautiful women gave birth to twenty-five sons for her, and unfortunately, the eldest son of Empress Yang Yan, Sima Zheng, died at the age of two, and the second son Sima Zheng became the de facto eldest son, and according to the Chinese system of heirs to the throne, Sima Zheng was made the crown prince, and Sima Zheng was an idiot.
Sima Zheng was born foolish, and when he was seven or eight years old, he did not know a word, and although he asked many learned masters to teach and enlighten, it was to no avail. He was made crown prince at the age of nine, because he was stupid, which always worried Emperor Wu of Jin, and he also had the idea of replacing him. However, Empress Yang Yan, the mother of the foolish son, resolutely disagreed, and her reason was also very grandiose: "If you are a concubine and not a virtuous person, how can you be moved?" The relationship between the emperor and the empress was very good, so his ears softened, and he still let his stupid son be the prince.

However, Emperor Wu of Jin was not so optimistic about the level of his stupid son. Since he was appointed as his heir, he had to pass on the throne from generation to generation. Whether he has the ability to procreate a "holy heir" is a big question. Emperor Wu of Jin probably felt that his son was stupid and might not be enlightened about this man and woman, so he sent Xie Jiu to "teach", but he did not expect that the stupid son was not ambiguous on this, and soon Xie Jiu became pregnant. Emperor Wu of Jin was very happy, and it also increased his confidence in his foolish son by a few percent, so he opened the matter of choosing a concubine for him.
The prince's choice of marriage is a major event for both the royal family and the people of the whole country, because this is the future mother of the country, the mother of the world, sitting in the harem. The royal relatives and princes and ministers looked for women in their own families, actively participated, and prepared to promote a beautiful marriage, so that the family would be proud.
During his long years of conquest, Emperor Wu of Jin admired the general Wei Jin of the Eastern Expedition, knew Wei Jin's family, and was very satisfied with Wei Jin's daughter - it is said that she is white, beautiful, and very stylish. Competing with Wei Was Jia Chong, the founding father of the Jin Dynasty. Jia Chong had four daughters: his ex-wife Li shi had two daughters, and his second wife Guo shi also had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Jia Quan, was married to Sima Shi's son Sima You the Prince of Qi. Jia Chong was a high-ranking official, a general on a horseback, and served as the first assistant of the imperial court. The most crucial thing is that Sima Yan was made crown prince at the beginning, all thanks to Jia Chong. Therefore, Sima Yan has always had great trust in Jia Chong.
Xun Xun was a confidant of Emperor Wu, and he and Jia Chong, a scheming man, had a similar smell and a good friendship. In order to make Jia Chong's daughter a princess, he first asked Jia Chong's wife Guo Huai to bribe Empress Yang's confidants with heavy money, so that they could praise Jia Chong's daughter for her dignified character, intelligence and quietness, Judd, and beauty, and could be elected as a princess. Empress Yang trusted left and right, and after a long time, she was naturally moved, and she had a good feeling for Jia's daughter, thinking that a woman with such a good reputation must be very good. Gou Xun took a two-pronged approach, contacting a group of personnel such as Gou Jie and Feng Tong, who were close confidants in the DPRK and China, and on various occasions, praised Jia Chong's daughter for having both ability and political integrity, which was rare. In the end, Jia Chong's daughter married the prince as she wished.
Jia Chong has two unmarried daughters, the eldest of whom is Jia Nanfeng, whose appearance is dark and ugly. The little one is called Jia Wu, and he looks very pretty. At the beginning of the marriage, it was originally to choose Jia Wu, a 12-year-old daughter of Fang, to enter the palace as a princess. The funny thing is that the girl of the Jia family is really short in stature, and she can't even wear a wedding dress. Helplessly, he had to change Jia Wu's sister Jia Nanfeng. This year, Jia Nanfeng was 15 years old, two years older than the prince. In this way, Jia Nanfeng mistakenly became the crown princess. When the ceremony was completed, Emperor Wu of Jin saw that his son had actually married such a daughter-in-law, and he really regretted it. But raw rice was made into cooked rice, and there was no way to go back, thinking of his stupid son, and this ugly daughter-in-law was also a match, so he had to admit it.

Jia Nanfeng, a native of Xiangling, Pingyang (present-day northeast of Xiangfen, Shanxi). His grandfather, Jia Kui , was a former marquis of Yuzhou and Marquis of Yangli Ting during the reign of Cao Wei. In his later years, Jia Kui had a son, rejoiced in heaven and earth, and believed that there would be a blessing in disguise, and when there was a celebration of filling, he named his son Chong, the word Gonglu. Jia Chong is Jia Nanfeng's biological father. After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jia Chong was knighted by the Duke of Lu Commandery, and was given the title of General of the Horse Riding, The Scattered Horse Attendant, and the Shangshu Servant, and later worshiped as the post of Waiting Zhong and Shangshu Ling, participating in the Privy Council, and for a time the opposition.
Jia Nanfeng's mother, Guangcheng Junguo Huai, was the daughter of Chengyang Taishou Guo, and was a continuation of Jia Chong. Jia Chong's original wife, Li Shi , was from a famous family, Duan Li Xianshu , and after marrying Jia Chong , she gave birth to two daughters of Jia Quan , and was exiled to the frontier by her father Zhu Lian , and Jia Chong married Guo. This Guo Shiguan was a vinegar jar, jealous by nature, and intensified after giving birth to Jia Nanfeng in the first year of Ganlu (256). She was wary of all the women around Jia Chong, and if she saw anyone who was in contact with Jia Death, she would be jealous and make Jia Chong turn over on his horse and be overwhelmed.
Jia Nanfeng is ugly or secondary, and her personality is also very jealous, and she looks at her idiot husband very closely. She was emotionally jealous to the point of neuroticism, and once she had a seizure, she lost control and made a big fuss. Sima Zheng was stupid and ignorant, where was Jia Nanfeng's opponent? Sima Zheng quickly bowed down and obeyed, and Jia Nanfeng took control of the Eastern Palace. Therefore, Jia Nanfeng was solipsistic in the womb and did whatever he wanted, and if he saw who was not pleasing to the eye, he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he killed the palace people at every turn. Before she became the crown princess, Emperor Wu of Jin had already given his son Xie Cairen and was pregnant. Therefore, Jia Nanfeng did not like this Xie Cai person in every way, and Xie Cairen was also interested, so he left Sima Zheng and returned to the West Palace. Once Jia Nanfeng found that a palace girl was secretly pregnant with Sima Zheng's child, and she was jealous and angry, so she immediately took the palace girl to the front of her, and then threw a halberd on her bulging belly with her own hand, and cut out a male fetus that had already formed. Emperor Wu of Jin was furious when he heard the news, so he decided to abolish her and imprison her in the Cold Palace. At this time, Empress Yang Zhi was Yang Yan's cousin, and since Jia Nanfeng was recommended by her cousin, she advised Emperor Wu to take into account Jia Chong's merits, and said that Concubine Jia was still young, and it was the age of jealousy, and she should always be given a chance to change. Seeing the beloved beauty speak out to persuade him, Emperor Wu of Jin dispelled his anger. Since then, Yang Zhi has repeatedly admonished her daughter-in-law to reform herself. However, jia Nanfeng, who was vicious by nature, turned a blind eye to Yang Zhi's life-saving grace, but was full of resentment towards her rebuke, and has held a grudge in his heart ever since.
In addition, the crown prince's son Sima Song was also one of the reasons why Emperor Wu of Jin could not bear to depose Sima Zheng. This child was born to the Xie Cai man. After she became pregnant that year, because the prince was very jealous, she asked to return to the Western Palace, and later gave birth to Sima Tong. Although Sima Zheng had already become a father, he did not know it yet. A few years later, he entered the palace to meet his father and emperor, and saw a three- or four-year-old white fat boy playing with several princes, very cute, so he walked over and took the child's hand and smirked. Emperor Wu saw this and said to Sima Zheng, "This is your son." Sima Zheng was very happy, so he knelt on the ground to thank him, and only then did he recognize this son back.
Although Sima Song's father was an idiot, he himself was very intelligent. Emperor Wu also loved this little grandson very much, and often took him with him. Once, when there was a fire in the palace in the middle of the night, Emperor Wu of Jin ascended the tower to watch, but the five-year-old Sima Song took his clothes belt and pulled him into the shadows. Emperor Wu wondered why he did this. Sima Song said: "In the twilight of the night, we should be strictly vigilant, and we should not let others see the emperor in the light." Emperor Wu could not help but be amazed at seeing that he was so sensible at such a young age. He said happily, "This child will surely prosper my family." Deep down, he recognized him as the future heir to the throne.
In 290 AD, Emperor Wu of Jin fell ill and died, and the crown prince Sima Zheng ascended the throne, historically known as Emperor Hui of Jin. Emperor Hui of Jin was so stupid that he couldn't even recognize who he was, and how could he manage the country, naturally he made a lot of jokes.
On the day of Sima Zheng's ascension to the throne, when the ministers knelt on the ground and waited for him to say "flat body", he forgot all about the line that he had already memorized, and did not know what to say. Just staring at the eunuchs around them, why did they kneel on the ground and not get up? The eunuch then said for him, "The emperor told you to be flat."
Then it was even more outrageous, he saw that the ministers were all up, and he also got up from the dragon chair, and raised his legs to leave. The eunuch asked him, where is the emperor going? He said, I'm going to pee!
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. I thought: What an idiot.
One day, Emperor Hui of Jin was wandering east and west in the back garden, when it was the early summer season, and there was a sound of frogs in the pond. So he was very interested, so he asked the people around him: "Do you say that these little things are called for the official family, or are they calling for the private family?"
For the question of Emperor Hui of Jin, the entourage left and right all felt strange, looked at each other, and did not know what to say. Fortunately, there was a eunuch who often served the emperor who knew this stupid emperor better, so he solemnly said: "Your Majesty, if these frogs are called in the official land, they are for the official family; If it is called in a private place, it is for private property. This is a completely nonsense answer, and Sima Zheng was very happy after listening to it, and felt that a big problem that bothered him had been solved.
When word went viral, everyone laughed at the emperor for being ridiculous. But the next thing, the words and deeds of the stupid emperor are even more ridiculous. One year, there was a famine in a certain place, there was no harvest of grain grain, and the people starved to death. The official documents were reported to the capital, and many officials gathered to discuss countermeasures. Emperor Hui of Jin listened dazedly, very strangely, and asked, "How can a person with good manners starve to death?" As soon as the ministers saw that they were rarely concerned about major state affairs, they hurried to explain to him: "There is a famine in the local area, and the people have no food to eat." Emperor Hui of Jin also felt very embarrassed, and suddenly, he had a clever move and proudly thought of a solution: "Why not eat meat" Everyone was stunned and laughed when they heard the emperor's "brilliant" idea.
When Emperor Hui of Jin ascended the throne and became emperor, Jia Nanfeng became empress, and she felt that she could raise her eyebrows and breathe. However, at this time, the power of the court was controlled by Empress Yang's father Yang Jun, although Empress Dowager Yang Zhi was only ten years older than her, but she was also her mother-in-law, and Jia Nanfeng, a junior, could only rely on people's sniffles. She had originally held a grudge against Empress Yang, and now that her husband had become emperor, she was even more unwilling to live under her. Therefore, with the strength of the princes, he announced that Yang Jun was plotting against him, got rid of him, and also executed the mother of empress dowager Yang Zhi, Pang Shi. Empress Yang knelt before this daughter-in-law, called her a concubine, cut off her hair and prostrated to her, begging her to spare her mother's life. The attendants on the left and right were in tears, but Jia Nanfeng was unmoved and killed Pang in front of the mother-in-law. Shortly after Pang's death, Empress Dowager Yang Zhi was also starved to death.
Empress Dowager Yang Zhi's father and daughter were completely eliminated, and Empress Jia no longer had any scruples. Emperor Hui was originally an idiot who did not understand the politics of the dynasty at all, and the power of governing the country had actually shifted from Yang's father and daughter to the hands of Jia Nanfeng from this time on. Jia Nanfeng sat in the harem as an empress and turned the harem into the command center of the imperial court. Jia Nanfeng had long been tired of Emperor Hui's idiot husband, and after excluding dissent and having great power in his hands, he acted arbitrarily and indulged in pleasure.
Taiyi Ling Cheng was slender, fair-skinned, tall and handsome. Empress Jia liked Cheng Zhao at the same time, Cheng Was sympathetic, good at meeting horses, and was very popular with Empress Jia. Therefore, Jia Zhihou tried to take Cheng as his own, summoned him at any time, and sent him out of the palace after the incident. Just by virtue of the fact that Empress Jia still felt dissatisfied, she began to send her henchmen to the people to find beautiful men to have fun. In order not to leak the wind, when she had played enough, she killed all these men once, there was a small official in the south of Luoyang City, young and handsome, usually poor, somehow suddenly disappeared for a period of time, and later when she appeared in front of everyone, she was completely like a changed person, wearing glamorous and gorgeous clothes, and the pearls and jades she wore were rare objects in the inner court. The people around him noticed that things were strange, and at this time, one of Jia Nanfeng's distant relatives just lost something at home, and everyone suspected that he had stolen it, so they reported it to their superiors and sent someone to detain and interrogate him immediately. The little official argued: "I occasionally met an old woman on the road, saying that someone in her family was sick, and the wizard divination wanted to find a young man in the south of the city to exorcise evil spirits. I was greedy for money, so I went with her. Halfway through the car change, I was hidden in the cage containing clothes, walked a long way, passed through many gates, and when the cage was opened, I suddenly saw a magnificent and exquisite pavilion. I asked the old woman where this was, and she replied that it was heaven. Immediately someone came and waited for me to bathe in incense, and after eating and drinking, they changed me into gorgeous clothes and brought me indoors. Then came a thirty-five or six-year-old woman, who was born short and fat, with a blue face and moles between her eyebrows. She left me for a while, ate and slept with me, and then sent me out the way. When I was leaving, this short, fat black woman gave me these clothes and ornaments. As soon as the relatives of the Jia family heard it, they knew that this matter was related to Jia Nanfeng's privacy, and it was not good to ask again, so they had to let this little official go.
Stills of Jia Nanfeng
Empress Jia called the wind and rain, controlled Emperor Hui, monopolized power, and indulged pleasures, but Empress Jia never gave birth to a son. This was a piece of Empress Jia's heart disease, and it would also endanger the peace of the Jia family, and the direct threat to the Jia family was The son Sima Song, who was conceived and born by Emperor Hui and Xie Jiu in the Eastern Palace. After Sima Zheng ascended the throne as emperor, Sima Song was made crown prince. Empress Jia hated the crown prince, but this Sima Song was the only son of the foolish emperor, and if Jia Nanfeng wanted to depose him, he would have to conjure up a son for Emperor Hui, so she came up with a bad idea. Her sister Jia Wu gave birth to a son, and Jia Nanfeng brought the child to the palace, pretending to be born of her own pregnancy, and gave the child a name called Weizu.
Sima Song grew up day by day, not as clever and cute as when he was a child, but frolicking and not good at reading. Such a prince was said not to endanger Empress Jia, but Empress Jia still did not let him go.
In December of the first year of Yuan Kang, that is, in 299 AD, the eldest son of the crown prince Sima Song fell ill, and the crown prince wrote to Emperor Hui, asking the eldest son to be crowned a prince. Emperor Hui did not agree. When the prince in a hurry saw that the eldest son was very ill, he asked the shaman to pray to the heavens, and after the prince was hopeless, he prayed that the eldest son's illness would improve. Empress Jia received a detailed report and knew that the day to clean up the prince had arrived, and Empress Jia sent people to visit the prince's eldest son three times, and then sent a letter to the prince, pretending that Emperor Hui had summoned him, and tricked the prince into the inner palace.
On the morning of December 29, the crown prince hurried into the palace to meet Emperor Hui. Emperor Hui didn't know what was going on, so he asked him to see the empress. The prince went to the queen's palace and was led to a room, but the queen was not seen. The maid laid out three liters of fine wine and a plate of red dates, and let the prince taste it first, and helped him with song and dance. The prince could not drink, knowing that the three liters of fine wine and a plate of red dates were given by the empress, did not dare to disobey the order. Three liters of wine went down, and the prince was so drunk that he couldn't distinguish between east and west, south, and north.
At this time, Empress Jia ordered pan Yue, the attendant of the Yellow Gate, to write a document in advance, and asked the maid to take a pen, ink and paper to the room where the prince was located, and informed the prince that the emperor asked the prince to copy the document immediately. The prince was so drunk that he didn't know what to write, but the holy will was difficult to violate, so he had to copy it, and after writing it, he didn't know what it was. The two documents read: Your Majesty cut himself, or he would never be polite; The queen also cut herself, or she will personally end you; Xie acted at the same time to avoid any trouble. This is naturally a rebel document, scrawled, but from the prince's hand. As a result, the crown prince was first deposed as a commoner and then killed.
Jia Nanfeng drank poisonous wine
Empress Jia's misdeeds caused the Sima clan to panic and unease. The sons of Sima Shi, who were outside the fengwang, naturally refused to sit still and wanted to kill Empress Jia and regain imperial power. In 300 AD, Sima Lun and Sun Xiu, the King of Zhao, together with Sima Tong, the Prince of Qi, launched a coup d'état. The Jia clan was wiped out of the three tribes; The private parties were also wiped out and killed. Jia Hou was imprisoned in Kim Yong Seong. A few days later, King Zhao falsely passed on the holy will and poisoned Jia Nanfeng with gold shavings wine. The Western Jin Dynasty was caught up in the sixteen-year-long "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", and the foolish emperor Sima Zheng was tossed around like a puppet during the turmoil, suffered a lot, and finally was poisoned.
