China, with its vast territory and vast resources, has always been able to inherit and continue in one line from ancient times to the present, and the first emperor can be said to have contributed a lot.
If there was no national policy of the first emperor to unify the world, implement the national policy of writing the same text, the same car and the same track, and the government in one place, maybe the land of Shenzhou today is a scene of small countries gathering together.
It is precisely because the first emperor gave an example to future generations that there is a general trend that will be united for a long time in the future.
On the side of the couch, let others sleep soundly; How can the land of China be shattered? Whenever the dynasty weakened, there were always heroes who fought hard to reorganize the rivers and mountains and achieve great unification.
It is only because the idea of great unification has been deeply rooted in the genes of every Chinese descendant, and it has never changed for more than 2,000 years.
The so-called great unification, there is an ancient saying: six contract winds, Kyushu coherence also, the king is ordered, the first month of the year to rule the world, so that all things are all enshrined in the beginning.
It means that Kyushu must be unified, the imperial court and the local government are in step with each other, the Son of Heaven decrees the whole world is universal, and the whole country is also a unified dynasty economically, ideologically, and culturally, so that it can be regarded as a great unification.
Under such high standards and strict requirements, there are so many dynasties in history, and there are not many dynasties that can complete the "great unification".
Counting carefully, only the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty did it.
Among these dynasties, some of them were prosperous and powerful, while others were so bad that they had no sense of existence at all.
If you want to say the worst dynasty, it is the Jin Dynasty.
The two Jin Dynasty were one hundred and fifty-five years old, and a total of fifteen emperors were transmitted, and only half of the emperors could be called the Emperor of Shangming.
Today, let's take a brief look at the 15 emperors of the Jin Dynasty.
Jinwu Emperor Ji 马炎
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu fought endlessly, but they did not expect that the Sima family, who was developing well, finally usurped Wei and stole the world.
In February 266, Sima Yan, who controlled the power of the dynasty, usurped Wei and established the Jin dynasty. 14 years later, the Western Jin Dynasty sent troops to destroy Eastern Wu and achieve great unification.
To be able to be the founder of the country, it is natural to have ability, so at the beginning of Sima Yan's reign, he also cheered up for a while. After the national reunification was realized, he became arrogant and lascivious.
In terms of state affairs, more than 20 vassal kings were created, which laid a huge hidden danger for the later "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" and the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
There are more than 10,000 concubines in private matters, and because there are too many concubines, I don't know which one is favored, and I also invented the "sheep luck method";
and his courtiers Saifu, which led to a wind of extravagance across the country.
Sima Yan reigned for 26 years, first bright and then dark, and was worthy of half a Ming monarch.
Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui (reigned 17 years)
Sima Zhen is the second son of Sima Yanyan, who was born with defects, his brain is not very smart, and he is a famous fool emperor in history.
The frog pointing to the pond asked whether it was official or private, the people were displaced and starved all over the wilderness, and they even popped up with a sentence of no food to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge? Hence the classic phrase "why not eat minced meat".
Such a stupid state affair can only rely on others, which eventually led to the "Eight Kings Rebellion", which directly led to the chaos of China.
Emperor Sima Chi of Jin (reigned 4 years)
Sima Chi is the twenty-fifth son of Sima Yan, and during the Eight Kings Rebellion, the princes of various clans fought into a pot of porridge, and finally the throne fell to him.
He also didn't have much ability, and was a prisoner of the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong during the Yongjia Rebellion.
The old ministers of the Jin Dynasty cried when they saw the former emperor pouring wine for Liu Cong, which disgusted Liu Cong and gave him a cup of poisoned wine.
Emperor Sima Ye of the Jin Dynasty (reigned 4 years)
Sima Ye is the grandson of Sima Yan, who ascended the throne in danger after learning that Emperor Huai of Jin was killed, but soon failed in the confrontation with Liu Cong, was captured by the other party, followed in the footsteps of Sima Chi, and was killed by Liu Cong.
Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Yuan Dynasty (reigned 5 years)
After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui built the Eastern Jin Dynasty with the support of the scholars, so he has been subject to the control of others, and the emperor's order does not leave the palace gate.
Later, he tried to revitalize the imperial power, but his strength was not strong and failed, and he finally died of illness in anger.
Emperor Sima Shao of the Jin Ming Dynasty (reigned 3 years)
Sima Shao is actually not bad, he has been filial since he was a child, he is strategic, smart and decisive, and he still has a positive impact on the government after he takes the throne.
If you had been emperor for a few more years, perhaps history would have had a different trajectory. It's a pity that it's just a bad fate.
It is said that when he learned from the ministers how the world of the Jin Dynasty came to be, he lay on the bed and cried: If this is the case, Jin Zuo will not last long.
Emperor Sima Yan of Jin Dynasty (reigned 17 years)
The young son of heaven, who ascended the throne at the age of four, had a relatively short lifespan, and died at the age of 22.
Before the pro-government, he didn't have much sense of existence, but he himself was reasonable and argumentative, and quite frugal. It is said that when I wanted to build a shooting range, I gave up when I heard that the cost was too high. The life span was relatively short, and he died at the age of 22.
Jin Kangdi Sima Yue (reigned 2 years)
Sima Yan's half-brother, when his elder brother was seriously ill, his heirs were too young, so he decided to appoint his younger brother Sima Yue to the throne.
Both brothers were calligraphers, and both were short-lived, and Sima Yue died in his early 20s.
Emperor Sima Dan of the Jin Dynasty
succeeded to the throne at the age of two, and basically didn't have to worry about anything, because the government has always been controlled. During his reign, under the leadership of the courtiers, several northern expeditions were also carried out. He died after reigning for 17 years at the age of 19.
晋哀帝司马丕
Sima Yan's eldest son, during his reign, the government was controlled by Huan Wen, and he himself went to practice the art of immortality, did not eat grains, only took medicine, and finally became the emperor for four years and died.
Emperor Sima Yi of the Jin Dynasty
Sima Yan's second son, he was cautious and never made mistakes, which caused Quan Chen Huan Wen to abolish him and could only find an excuse for "impotence".
After reigning for 6 years, he lived in a simple house and indulged in wine, which can be regarded as a stable old age.
Jin Jianwen Emperor Sima Yu
Love metaphysics, love Qing talk, pure and empty want to keep their duty, so they were greeted by Huan Wen, and died in the emperor only 8 months.
However, he lived a long life, 52 years old, and went through seven dynasties.
Jin Xiaowu Emperor Shi 马曜
Sima Yao was the longest-reigning emperor except for Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, and he was emperor for a total of 24 years.
During his reign, to a certain extent, he broke through the monopoly of the gate valve and restored the imperial power of the Sima clan, but he was indulged in pleasure and indulged in wine, not the master.
Once drunk high and joked with Zhang Guiren that he was going to abolish her, Zhang Guiren actually sent the palace maid to take cotton and cover him to death.
Emperor Sima Dezong of the Jin Dynasty
Another stupid emperor who said that he was not good at talking and couldn't take care of himself, he didn't even know between cold and heat, didn't know hunger and hunger, and during his reign of 22 years, civil strife was frequent, Liu Yu became bigger, and was finally killed by Liu Yu.
Emperor Gong of Jin Sima Dewen
Liu Yuying's puppet emperor was just the mascot of Liu Yu's emperor, so he was deposed after 1 year of reign, and was killed by Liu Yu after being deposed for a year.
Looking at the 15 emperors of the two Jin Dynasty, except for Sima Yan, the founder of the country, the rest of the emperors have nothing to do in governing the country, most of them are the kings of the nest, and even the dead are very nested.
The emperor of the Jin Dynasty was so incompetent that he directly caused great harm to the world and caused the situation of the troubled times for hundreds of years, so he was scolded by later generations for more than 1,000 years.
