As we all know, in feudal society, the emperor was the biggest official in the world. "Under the whole world, there can be no king land, the coast of the land, and the king's subject."
The people under the heavens can control whoever he wants, and no one can control him, and his joys and sorrows can determine the fate of the people under the world. However, 1,600 years ago, two emperors were killed one after another because of the same rumor, who are these two unfortunate emperors? Who are their killers?
China has a long history, and there are countless emperors, but as idiots, there are only two who have been put on the throne, no matter how they are counted.
Coincidentally, these two living treasures were all from the Jin Dynasty, which was probably something that Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, the father and son of Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, who were old and vicious, would not believe when they were killed.
The first idiot emperor was the familiar Sima Zheng of Jinhui. The "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" occurred when this old gentleman was emperor, and eventually took his life.
Emperor Hui of Jin had several "silly" stories that were popular among the population, the most famous of which was the "famous saying through the ages" of "why don't the people eat porridge when they are hungry?"
Emperor Huidi of Jin's feeble-minded words and deeds were ridiculous, but compared with another idiot emperor of the Jin Dynasty, he was still a "superior person."
Another idiot emperor was Sima Dezong, the Jin'an Emperor in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who was the most idiotic emperor in Chinese history. Coincidentally, his father, Sima Yao, the Emperor of Xiaowu, was the emperor who died the most, because this elder brother was smothered by Zhang Guiren, who was favored by him, with a quilt.
Although Emperor An of Jin was so stupid that he could not even distinguish between winter and summer, and the time he sat on the emperor's throne was not short, for twenty-two years, he had always been a puppet emperor in the hands of his courtiers (this is almost certain), sima Daozi in the early stage, and Huan Xuan in the middle. In the later period, it was the famous Liu Yu.
At the beginning, Liu Yu was indeed a loyal general who honored the king and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, but with the increasing achievements and power, he gradually had the heart of disobedience and began to covet the throne where the idiot emperor had sat for more than twenty years.
Just when Liu Yu had accumulated enough courage to push aside the idiot and puppet of Emperor An of Jin and take his place, there was a rumor full of mystery and heavenly chance that spread throughout the Eastern Jin Dynasty, especially in Jiankang City (now Nanjing).
The rumor goes like this: There were two emperors after Changming. Changming was none other than the idiot Emperor's father, Sima Yao, the Emperor xiaowu who had been smothered to death by his wife with a quilt.
The rumor soon reached Liu Yu's ears, and when Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious from the bottom of his heart, and I thought that everything would be fine if I pulled the stupid emperor aside, who ever thought that God would let Sima Shi take another breath. The old man looked at it and counted to sixty, where can he afford to wait! No, I have to speed up this process without violating the Mandate of Heaven.
Therefore, Liu Yu quickly changed his mind, sharpened his knife, and changed the life sentence (house arrest) of the idiot emperor to the death penalty, because only such a cruel hand could make the second emperor of "the second emperor after Changming" appear quickly.
In 418, Liu Yumi ordered his nemesis Wang Shaozhi to buy off Emperor An of Jin's attendants and let them find an opportunity to get rid of the idiot master.
Emperor An of Jin's younger brother Sima Dewen, the Prince of Langxuan, was worried about his brother's murder, and accompanied him all day, staying away for a moment, "harming" Liu Yu's big and small dog legs. Later, Sima Dewen was anxious and laborious
Tired and under double pressure, he unfortunately fell ill and had to return to his palace to recuperate. Here, King Lang had just left the palace, and Wang Shaozhi had already entered the palace to kill the king.
Under the command of Wang Shaozhi, Emperor An of Jin's black-hearted attendants tied a knotted belt of clothes they usually wore and strangled the poor emperor alive. The next day, Liu Yu warned the world that the emperor was seriously ill
Driven by the desire to claim the title of emperor, Liu Yu's work efficiency reached an unprecedented height, the left hand had just killed the first emperor after Changming, and the right hand immediately pushed out the second emperor after Changming, who was not someone else, and it was precisely because of the protection of the foolish emperor that Sima Dewen, the king of Langwu, was tired.
Although Sima Dewen was the brother of the idiot emperor, he was very different from his stupid brother, not only intelligent and wise, but also gentle and virtuous, and a very good young man. If Sima Dewen had been born in the prosperous world of Taiping, he might have become a Ming Emperor like Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, but unfortunately he was unfortunately trapped in the last days of power and vassaldom, and inevitably became a victim of the change of dynasty.
In that year, Sima Dewen once followed Liu Yu on his northern expedition to the Central Plains, and the wisdom and courage he showed in the war were unanimously praised by the soldiers. After recovering his old capital Luoyang, he repaired the ruined tomb of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, which proved that he had ambitions to revive the Jin Dynasty.
However, in the sinister environment in which Liu Yuquan fell to the opposition and covered the sky with one hand, all of Sima Dewen's wisdom and courage and all his ambitions became like a mirror and a water and a moon, and this lonely and helpless new emperor only had man-made knife tricks and my sorrow and lamentation for fish and meat.
Since Sima Dewen had already realized that the Tsar's brother was in danger and his life was hanging by a thread, he must have also heard the fatal rumor that "there is a second emperor after Changming", so from the moment he sat on the throne, he knew that the Jin Dynasty would end in his own hands and that he would be the king of the Jin Dynasty. Like a patient suffering from an incurable disease, Madvin knows that he will soon die, but he does not know when death will come, and every day is spent in trepidation, and the pain in his heart cannot be tasted by those who have experienced it.
At the same time, Sima Dewen must always be wary of the attendants around him, so as not to die like his brother.
However, that day finally came. Strangely, when this day really came, Sima Dewen became surprisingly calm. He looked at the Zen edict that Liu Yu had already sent someone to write, and his heart was like stagnant water, as if he was an outsider, giving way to someone else's Jiangshan Sheji. Fourth, Ma Dewen picked up the imperial seal for the last time and said coldly, "The Jin Dynasty has long since lost its world, and it should be so..."
Although Sima Dewen did not show the slightest nostalgia for the throne when he ascended the throne, Liu Yu, who was fierce and fierce, still refused to let him have a way to live. A year later, Sima Dewen was eventually killed by the rebels secretly sent by Liu Yu, and a cruel and criminal convention was born on the bloodstained delivery bed of history.
Before Liu Yu, the last monarchs who lost their kingdoms, especially those who ceded the throne, such as Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, and Cao Wan, the King of ChenLiu, could save their lives and enjoy their wealth, but Liu Yu rewrote this precedent with the blood of Sima Dewen.
Fifty-eight years later, Liu Yu's grandson, the Song Shun Emperor Liu Zhun, was also killed by the new emperor Xiao Daocheng after giving up the throne, and before his death, this unfortunate young man uttered a sentence that made the whole history tremble: "May there be no birth to the imperial family in the next life." What was even more tragic was that Liu Yu's children and grandchildren were subsequently killed clean and bare, which was probably something that Liu Yu could not have imagined when he first seized the throne!
The Great Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Shuyi created a glorious image of Liu Yu, the hero of the Northern Expedition, in the phrase "Yong Yu Le", who "thought of that year, the iron horse of Jinge, swallowed like a tiger". It has been admired by countless future generations.
As an idol of xin ciren, Liu Yu did establish outstanding and immortal historical merits in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the recovery of lost land, but we cannot ignore his evil side because of this.
