The chaotic era of the chaotic era was full of heroes, but the two Jin dynasties became an era of ruthlessness and exquisite calculation. At this bloody historical moment, Sima Yi rose to prominence and became a remarkable strategist.
The story of this history begins one day in 260 AD, when a coup d'état between the Cao family and the Sima family broke out, and the fourth emperor of Cao Wei, Cao Xin, rode into the Sima mansion, causing a horrific incident. Cao Xin knew that he was invincible, so he shouted loudly, attracting a large number of people to the scene, in an attempt to force Sima Zhao into a corner. At this moment, Sima Zhao made an astonishing decision - he ordered Cao Xin to be cut off on the spot, which was an unprecedented thing, and an emperor of the dynasty was brutally killed in the street.
The impact of this event was far-reaching and widespread, not only determining the future fate of the Sima family, but also pushing the Western Jin Dynasty into a dark age. Sima Yi's appearance, like a forgiving chess player, silently waited for the opportunity, and finally changed the Wei state into the world of the Sima family. However, behind this unification was a piece of injustice and shame, the emperor was reduced to slavery, and the empress was rewarded with soldiers. Now, let's travel through time and space to explore this most absurd period of the Two Jin Dynasties in history.
The history of the Two Jin Dynasties carries many shocking stories. During this period, Cao Wei was unified by the Western Jin Dynasty, which was founded by Sima Yi. However, the Western Jin Dynasty was not an era of prosperity, on the contrary, it was an era of darkness and corruption.
In the early Western Jin Dynasty, the ruler Sima Yan adopted a policy of speaking out and ruling without doing anything, in an attempt to revive the country. He wiped out Eastern Wu, reclaimed wasteland, built water conservancy, and gradually revived the country. However, Sima Yan's governance gradually became arrogant and luxurious, he indulged in enjoying the fruits of his labor, had many harems, and often troubled him with the fact that he did not know which concubine was favored. In addition, he built palaces with great extravagance, which led to extreme strain on the country's finances.
Not only that, the Sima family has gradually emerged, controlling nearly 90% of the country's wealth, oppressing the people at the bottom. Rich people such as Shi Chong even built golden splendor in their homes, and ten handmaids were placed in one toilet. This immorality and bad behavior became the norm under the Sima family, with the nobles living in luxury and the poor living in hunger and cold.
However, Sima Yan did not take steps to curb this corruption. He was afraid of offending his family and did not have time to run the country. Although his son Sima Xin was made crown prince, he was too stupid to rule effectively. In order to ensure the continued rule of the family, Sima Yan could only pin his hopes on his grandson Sima Yu.
However, after Sima Yu succeeded to the throne, the situation became even more chaotic. His empress, Janan Feng, was ambitious and began to intervene in politics through power and power. Since Sima Yu was unable to give birth, she brutally killed pregnant concubines, including Sima Yi, to secure her position. This act resulted in no heir to the throne, triggering a power grab war called the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
In the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", eight relatives with the same surname killed each other, and the country's military power was exhausted. The chaos ended with Sima Yue's victory, but the damage caused by the civil strife was irreversible. Sima Yue then tried to pacify the Hu people in the north, but suffered a crushing defeat, further shaking the rule of the two Jin Dynasties.
Eventually, Sima Chi succeeded to the throne, but his reign was soon attacked by the two Hu regimes, Luoyang was breached, Sima Chi was captured, and the empress was sent to the Hu military camp to treat the soldiers. At this time, Luoyang was like hell, and this turmoil was called the Yongjia Rebellion. The two Jin dynasties survived in name only, the last emperor
Sima Ye was put on the throne, but the combined forces of Han Zhao and Han Zhao besieged Luoyang, leaving the city in a desperate situation. The siege of the city without water and food led to the evil act of cannibalism, and more than half of the people in the city were killed and injured. In the end, Sima Ye was captured, and he was sent to Pingyang, the capital of Han Zhao, where he became a slave of Liu Cong, the emperor of Han Zhao, and was killed after experiencing humiliation. Since then, the two Jin dynasties have officially perished.
In the history of the Two Jin Dynasties, the tragedy of being born of injustice and dying of shame was repeated repeatedly, and the rise of Sima Yi and the rule of the Sima family were undoubtedly the root cause of all this. This dark period of history not only witnessed the corruption and desolation of the rulers, but also recorded the tragic situation of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the decline of human nature in the Yongjia Rebellion.
However, despite the tragedy and shame of history, it also reflects the complexity of human nature and the vicissitudes of society. During the Two Jin Dynasties, the romanticism of heroes had faded away, replaced by a ruthless era of intrigue and ruthlessness. In pursuit of power and victory, people become cold and cruel, at all costs.
At the end of this historical exploration, we can't help but reflect: after experiencing chaos and darkness, can human nature and society regain that romance and arrogance, and forge a better future again? Or will history continue to cycle and injustice and shame will come again? This is a thought-provoking question and a valuable lesson we have learned from history.
