Preamble:
In the long history of China, there was once a heinous demon queen, who not only had an ugly appearance and a brutal personality, but also fornicated with the harem, which eventually led to the fall of a dynasty and brought a devastating blow to Chinese civilization. This demon queen is Jia Nanfeng, the queen of the Western Jin Dynasty.
What did she do to make future generations hate and curse her so much? How outrageous was what she did? How did she personally destroy the Western Jin Dynasty, bring 300 years of darkness to China, and almost wipe out our Han people?
1. How did the extremely ugly Jia Nanfeng become the queen of the Western Jin Dynasty?
Jia Nanfeng, whose name is "Nanfeng" and whose nickname is 峕 (shí), was born in Xiangling County, Pingyang County, which is now Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province. She has a prominent family background, and is the granddaughter of Jia Kui, the assassin of Cao Wei Yuzhou, the daughter of Jia Chong, the Dazai of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the queen of Sima Zhen, Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty.
In Chinese history, most of the bad women who brought disaster to the country and the people were beautiful and moving, with a face that captivated the country and the city. But Jia Nanfeng has nothing to do with the word "beauty", she looks extremely ugly, if there is any "ugliest queen list", she will definitely be able to dominate.
According to the Book of Jin, Jia Nanfeng was "ugly and short and black, with flaws behind his eyebrows". We can imagine that she has a short, fat face, dark skin, an upturned nose, thick lips, big black and yellow teeth, and an ugly birthmark behind her eyebrows.
How did such an ugly woman become the empress of the Western Jin Dynasty? The key lies in her father, the Western Jin Dynasty Dazai Jia Chong. In order to seek his own personal interests, Jia Chong single-handedly facilitated the marriage between Jia Nanfeng and Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui.
At that time, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, was choosing an empress for his son Sima Zhen (i.e., Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty). Sima Yan initially chose the daughter of another courtier, Wei Qian, because Empress Yang Yan was worried that her stupid son Sima Zhen would not be able to become emperor in the future, so she wanted to find an in-law with a strong family background.
However, Jia Chong's wife Guo Shi bribed Empress Yang Yan with a large number of gifts, asking for her daughter Jia Nanfeng to become the crown princess. Guo also boasted about how talented Jia Nanfeng was and how good his conduct was, but his appearance was a little worse.
Under the repeated persuasion of Empress Yang Yan, and the support of the two important ministers of the crown prince and the prince Xun Yan and Shang Shu Ling Xun Xuan, Sima Yan finally agreed to the marriage.
Although Sima Yan knew that Jia Nanfeng was very ugly, Jia Chong, as the Dazai of the Western Jin Dynasty, was also the founder of the country, and he was in power, so Sima Yan had to rely on him to help him stabilize the Western Jin Dynasty regime. Therefore, even if he was reluctant, Sima Yan had to agree to the marriage.
As a result, Jia Nanfeng, who was two years older than Sima Zhen, became the crown princess. When Jia Nanfeng saw the crown prince Sima Zhen for the first time, he was overjoyed when he saw his obscene and sluggish appearance, and he thought that he would one day become the most powerful woman in the world.
In 290 AD, after Sima Yan died, his foolish son Sima Zhen ascended the throne and became Emperor Hui of Jin, and Jia Nanfeng also became the queen of a kingdom without any suspense.
Second, Jia Nanfeng's brutality and thirst for killing are outrageous
After Jia Nanfeng became the crown princess, her ruthless, jealous and brutal nature was gradually revealed. Because Jia Nanfeng has always wanted to give birth to a son to stabilize her position, she gave birth to four daughters one after another, and she has never been able to give birth to a son. This made her very anxious, and whenever she saw other concubines pregnant, her jealousy became more and more intense.
Jia Nanfeng did not allow Sima Zhen to take pleasure in the other concubines, and even beat the pregnant women with an iron halberd, causing them to miscarry and die. According to the "Book of Jin", Jia Nanfeng was "sexually cruel and violent", "jealous and deceitful, and the prince was afraid of it", "the concubine was cruel and cruel, tried to kill several people, or threw a pregnant concubine with a halberd, and the son fell to the ground with the blade", "and then became more and more violent".
In 277 AD, when Sima Cheng was still the crown prince, a court maid became pregnant after being with him. When Jia Nanfeng heard about it, he immediately rushed over with an iron halberd in his hand, and immediately pierced the palace maid's stomach, and the palace maid immediately fainted.
Sima Zhen cried: "You killed my son." Jia Nanfeng said coldly: "How can you want a son of a cheap life!" After saying that, he asked people to take out the baby in the womb of the palace maid and throw it into the toilet.
Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty was furious when he found out and wanted to abolish Jia Nanfeng's position as the crown princess, but fortunately, Empress Yang Yan tried her best to persuade her, so she gave up, and Jia Nanfeng's position as the crown princess was kept.
Since then, Sima has been very afraid of this fierce wife in his heart, and rarely dares to pamper other concubines. Even if a concubine is unfortunately pregnant, she has to be disposed of by Jia Nanfeng in private.
Jia Nanfeng's brutal behavior is outrageous, she is like a bloodthirsty monster, wantonly killing those innocent lives, casting a shadow on the harem.
3. Jia Nanfeng's promiscuous harem is outrageous
Jia Nanfeng is recognized by historians as "the most dissolute woman in history", this ugly and amorous queen gave her husband a green hat as soon as she entered the palace. According to the "Book of Jin", "Later, he was debaucherous and indulgent, and he was in chaos with the imperial physician Ling Cheng and other internal and external ......."
After Jia Nanfeng became the crown princess, although she was very ugly and not gentle, she was very disgusted with her stupid husband Sima Zhen and hated him for not understanding the amorous feelings, so she set her eyes on those handsome men and beautiful brothers.
She first fell in love with the Imperial Physician Cheng Zhi, who was very handsome, with fair skin, and was very pleasing to people. Jia Nanfeng summoned Cheng Zhi into the inner palace every day to "see a doctor" under various excuses such as physical discomfort, dizziness and foot pain.
The two drank and had fun together every night, and Jia Nanfeng also asked Cheng Yi to stay in the palace overnight and share a bed with her. Since the imperial physician Cheng fell in love with the queen Jia Nanfeng, he was also promoted to the "imperial doctor's order" by Jia Nanfeng, and since then he has enjoyed the glory and wealth and fine clothes and food.
However, Jia Nanfeng was still not satisfied, and in order to satisfy his desires, he sent his personal palace maids to the people to find handsome men and handsome men, and then brought them into the palace to do things. After Jia Nanfeng got tired of playing, he secretly killed them all in private to prevent them from saying things that were unfavorable to him after leaving the palace.
According to records, there were often incidents of losing handsome guys in Luoyang City at that time, and many handsome young men had disappeared mysteriously. Later, after investigation, the finger was finally pointed at the queen Jia Nanfeng, just to prevent them from leaking the queen's secrets after leaving the palace, so they were all executed.
Jia Nanfeng's promiscuous behavior is outrageous, she is like a bloodthirsty monster, wantonly playing with those handsome men, and finally brutally killing them. This behavior not only tarnished the dignity of the royal family, but also brought great panic to the society at that time.
Fourth, Jia Nanfeng personally destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty and plagued China for 300 years
Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty learned the lesson of the demise of the Cao Wei regime, and in order to prevent the imperial power from being taken away by people with foreign surnames, he wantonly divided the uncles and nephews of the same clan into Sima uncles and nephews, and gave them great power.
However, after the death of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, his stupid and incompetent son Sima Zhen succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty. Due to Sima Zhen's incompetence, Jia Nanfeng was able to dictate power, constantly co-opting his henchmen and strengthening his own power.
Jia Nanfeng saw that Yang Jun, the father of the Empress Dowager Yang Zhi, served as the prime minister of the DPRK and China, not only intervening in the government affairs, but also acting arbitrarily, making him unable to let go of his hands and feet, and restricted everywhere. Jia Nanfeng was very angry and unwilling, so he conspired with Sima Wei, the king of Chu, to kill Yang Jun on the charge of rebellion, and imprisoned Yang Jun's mother and empress dowager Yang Zhi in Kim Yong City, and finally starved to death.
Because Jia Nanfeng could not have children, Emperor Sima Zhen of the Jin Hui Dynasty made Sima Shu (yù), the son of his concubine Xie Jiu, the crown prince. Jia Nanfeng was worried that the crown prince Sima Shu would affect his status in the future, so he made up his mind to get rid of him, so he arranged for Pan An to search for evidence of the prince's rebellion.
After Pan An received Jia Nanfeng's order, he designed to intoxicate the prince Sima Shu and asked him to write an article on sacrifice. And Pan An just processed it a little in the article, and after filling in a few sentences, this became evidence of the prince's rebellion, and then handed it over to Jia Nanfeng.
In the end, the crown prince Sima Shu was deposed by Jia Nanfeng for the crime of treason, and his mother Xie Jiu was also executed. Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, learned that Jia Nanfeng had killed the crown prince, so he forged an edict and led the army to the capital in the name of "Qing Jun's side". Jia Nanfeng saw that the general trend was gone, so he ended his life with a glass of poisoned wine at the age of 45.
And Pan An, as Jia Nanfeng's accomplice and Jia Mi's staff, was also killed by Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and was finally tragically killed by the three clans.
Next, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, abolished Sima Zhen, the emperor of Jin Hui, and became the emperor himself. Sima Liang, King of Runan, and Sima Wei, King of Chu, and other eight vassal kings, saw Sima Lun, King of Zhao, become emperors, and they were not angry and wanted to compete for the throne, so they launched rebellions one after another and began to attack each other, which is known as the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" in history.
The "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" lasted for 16 years from 290 AD to 307 AD, causing great harm to the people, and the social economy was also seriously damaged, so that the national strength of the Jin Dynasty was also greatly affected, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since.
At this time, the five ethnic minorities of Xiongnu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Di and Qiang in the north took advantage of the civil strife and ruin of the Western Jin Dynasty to invade the Central Plains.
epilogue
According to historical records, wherever the Xiongnu and other Wuhu armies went, they slaughtered cities and plundered land, and frantically slaughtered Han people, making the Han people feel like living in eighteen layers of hell. Even those who survived by luck had no food to eat, which led to the tragic situation of cannibalism, and corpses were everywhere for a while.
At that time, there were more than 20 million Han people in the Central Plains, and after the massacre of Wuhu, the number dropped to 4 million in an instant, which almost caused the extinction of the Han nation. Since then, the technological level of various industries in the south has begun to develop rapidly, and gradually replaced the industries of the Central Plains, and gradually became the most economically developed area in the mainland in all dynasties.
Historians unanimously believe that the "Wuhu Chaohua" was the biggest devastating disaster of the Han nation, and the consequence was the almost extinction of the race, and the culprit of all this was Jia Nanfeng.
