After Sima Yan unified the world, he experienced a short period of peace, not long after his death, the demon queen Jia Nanfeng caused the rebellion of the eight kings because of his power, the kings of the Sima clan began to fight, the whole world was in chaos, the nomadic tribes in the north took advantage of the opportunity to rise, and finally the Xiongnu captured Chang'an, resulting in the sinking of Shenzhou.
Even if Lu Shen of Shenzhou did not come to the worst situation for the world at that time, because the warrior clan in Jiangnan and the shi clan in the north soon succeeded sima Rui, the king of Langya, although nominally the emperor, in fact, Sima Rui was only the mascot of the Wang clan.
In the imperial court, Wang Dao occupied the center, and Wang Dunzhen guarded Jingzhou outside the imperial court, repeatedly tried to depose the emperor, twice raised troops into health, the imperial court was helpless against him, and Wang Dao also maintained Sima Rui on the one hand, and relied on Wang Dun on the other hand to increase the power of the Wang clan. Wang Dun soon became dissatisfied, and he developed a heart of disobedience, and later directly rebelled.
Why did the Langya Wang clan have such energy at the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Here's a key figure: Wang Yan, the Taiwei of the Western Jin Dynasty. It was precisely because of his clever and selfish arrangements that the beginning of the king and the horse together. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when summarizing the gains and losses, Wang Yan was listed as the culprit.
Huan Wen then crossed huaisi, trampled the northern realm, and climbed the pingcheng tower with his subordinates, overlooking the Central Plains, and sighed: "Then the land of Shenzhou sank, and the centuries-old hills and ruins, Wang Yifu and the people had to let it go!" "
For example, during Huan Wen's Northern Expedition, he discussed with his subordinates that Wang Yan at that time must be responsible, and in the later stages of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, he relied on Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, to enter the imperial court, until the fourth year of Yongjia, Wang Yan served as a high-ranking official such as Sikong, Situ, Taiwei, and Taifu, and could be said to be an extremely popular subject.
During this period, deeply trusted by Sima Yue, he did not want to repay, but began to play a little clever, plotting for his own family's personal interests, taking advantage of the difficult war in the north at that time, Wang Yan persuaded Sima Yue to send his brothers to guard the four sides, of which Wang Dao, Wang Dun, and Wang Cheng were his cousins, and praised his plan as the three caves of cunning rabbits.
It is based on brother Cheng as Jingzhou, and brother Dun as Qingzhou. Because of Cheng and Dun Yue: "Jingzhou has rivers and Han zhigu, Qingzhou has the danger of negative sea, Qing and Qing are outside, and I stay here, which is enough for the three caves." "The wise despise it.
When Wang Yanman was fully calculating for himself, the Xiongnu Liu Yuan had risen to the north and sent his general Shi Le to attack the Central Plains City, for the Western Jin Dynasty, the house leaked overnight, the lack of soldiers and major generals, the grain and grass were not good, and Sima Yue, who held great power, fell ill and died, so the ministers elected Wang Yan as a marshal, hoping that he would be able to turn the tide.
This important figure made a ridiculous decision to lead tens of thousands of troops to escort Sima Yue's coffin back to the fiefdom, only to be ambushed by Shi Le halfway through, and the entire army was destroyed, and then all the princes and ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty were captured, including Wang Yan himself.
After Shi Le grabbed Wang Yan and talked to him about the gains and losses of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Yan first shirked his responsibility, saying that he had no fault, and as a prisoner, he made a bad move in order to survive at this time, slapping the horse's ass on the horse's hoof. Originally, their conversation made Shi Le very happy.
Wang Yan was aware of this, so he had the psychology of luck, in order to be able to survive, he actually directly persuaded Shi Le to be called emperor, at that time Shi Le was still Liu Yuan's general, the strength was not very strong, was persuaded by Wang Yanyi, the fire was three zhang, this is not to push Lao Tzu into the fire pit?
Furious, he rebuked Wang Yan: As the third duke of the Jin Dynasty, you are in a high position, your prestige is in the four seas, your family has been a courtier of the Jin Dynasty for several lifetimes, and the imperial court is as kind to you as a mountain, and you do not want to repay it, and even persuade me to be called emperor in turn, and it is your sin in the cholera world!
Wang Yan was the reason for Shi Lechen's defeat, and Yun Ji was not in himself. Le Shi is pleased, and the words move day. Yan said that he was less hesitant and wanted to spare himself, because he was persuaded to call himself an honorific title. Le Fury said: "The name of the king covers the four seas, he is in a heavy position, and he is young and strong, so as for the white head, why should he not hesitate to say anything evil in the world!" Destroying the world is a king's sin. "Make the left and right out." It is said that his party Kong Cang said: "I have traveled a lot of things in the world, and I have never seen such a person, so can I live?" Cang Yue: "The three dukes of The Golden Age will not do their best for me, and how noble is it?" Le Yue: "Don't be sharpened." "Let the walls of the night be filled with killing."
Then he said to his subordinate Kong Cang: I have lived so long, I have never seen such a brazen person. Whether he could keep him, as a result, Kong Cang thought that this was a high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty, and he would not serve himself if he kept it, so Shi Le had a killing heart, but he felt that it was not good to use the blade, so he sent someone to push him to the high wall overnight and bury him alive.
Although Wang Yan himself was executed by Shi Le before the Western Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed, Wang Dun and Wang Dao, who were already rooted in the south at that time, laid the foundation for the future of Wang and Ma to share the world, and 7 years later, Wang Dao and Wang Dun supported Sima Rui to ascend the throne in health.
