Sima Yi was again demoted to the title of Duke of Haixi, but insisted on refusing to support the rebellious demon thieves who sought his restoration

Original text [10]: In the beginning, Huan Wen had the heart of not being a subject, and wanted to make meritorious contributions to Heshuo first, in order to harvest the time. And the defeat of Fangtou, the prestige of the sudden setback, the subliminal plot to abolish the establishment, in order to long authority. However, emperor Ran was guarding the way, afraid of inviting time to discuss. With the palace expounding heavy and stuffy, the bed is easy to slander, but the emperor is castrated, so he is humiliated. At the beginning, Emperor Pingsheng thought that every time he was worried, he summoned the magician Hu Qianzhi and Gua Cheng, and replied: "The Jin Room has the solidity of the pan stone, and His Majesty has the image of leaving the palace." "It's exactly what it says.

Interpretation: Originally, Huan Wen wanted to make a meritorious contribution in Heshuo first because he had a disobedient heart, in order to collect fame and popularity. However, after the defeat at the Battle of Fangtou, his prestige was frustrated, so he plotted to depose the emperor and establish another one to increase his power and power. However, he was also jealous of Emperor Sima Yi's observance of morality, fearing that he would attract slander and discussion from the people of the time. Therefore, on the grounds of the secret events in the palace, the matter between the beds was easy to be framed, saying that the emperor was originally an eunuch, and carried out the plot to depose the emperor and set up another one to insult the emperor. At the beginning, Emperor Sima Yi was often afraid of such a thing happening, so he often went to the warlock to make predictions, and after the completion of the bu gua, the warlock said: "The foundation of the imperial family of the Jin Dynasty is as strong as a disk stone, but Your Majesty has signs of leaving the palace." And that happened.

Original text 11]: In the first month of the second year of Xian'an, he was demoted to the title of Duke of Haixi County. In April, he moved to Wu County, where he defended Shi Diao Yi and sent Yushi Guyun to supervise him. In November, the demon thief Lu Shu sent Xu Longchen, the overseer of the disciple's palace, to his door, saying that the empress dowager had secretly decreed that he would welcome Xingfu. The emperor wanted to follow it, and the nanny stopped. Long Yue: "Big things will be swift, what do you mean by a child?" The emperor said, "I have sinned against this, but I am glad to be forgiven, how dare I act rashly!" And if the empress dowager has an edict, she should come to the officials, so why should she make Ruye alone? Ru will be chaotic. "Because of the tying of the left and right, the dragon walked away in fear." The emperor knew that the destiny of heaven could not be repeated, and he was deeply worried about the disaster, but Dusai was wise, thoughtless, and happy all the time, indulging in internal favors, having children and infertile children, and protecting the heavens. When people take pity on them, they sing songs. The imperial court thought that the emperor was humiliated and did not return to fear. In October of the eleventh year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, Jia Shen was born in Wu, when he was forty-five years old.

Interpretation: In the first month of the second year of Xian'an (i.e., 372 AD), the deposed emperor Sima Yi was demoted to the title of Duke of Haixi County.

In April, Sima Yi moved to Wu County to live, pardoned Shi Diao Yi in Wu to be more wary of him, and sent Yushi Guyun to supervise him.

In November, the demon thief Lu Hu sent Xu Longchen, the overseer of the disciple's palace, to Sima Yi's house, saying that he had a secret edict from the empress dowager to welcome Sima Yi to the position of emperor. Sima Yi originally wanted to obey, but later accepted the advice of his nanny and did not implement it.

Xu Long said, "Big things are about to succeed, how can you listen to a woman?" Sima Yi said, "I am a sinner, and fortunately I have been forgiven!" Moreover, if the empress dowager had an edict, she should let the officials come and announce it, so why would she let you come alone? You must be committing a crime. So he ordered the people around him to tie Xu Long up, and Xu Long fled in fear.

The deposed emperor Sima Yi knew that the mandate of heaven could not be changed, and he was very worried that he would encounter a catastrophe, so he blocked the screen and eliminated all the smart people, did not ask about the world, lived a carefree life, just drank and enjoyed himself every day, and because he was delayed by internal favors, he did not properly educate and raise his son, hoping to save himself. People at that time were very sympathetic to him and wrote poems of praise for him.

Because the imperial court deposed Emperor Sima Yi and was content with humiliation and status quo, it did not guard against him anymore. In october of the eleventh year of taiyuan (i.e., 386 AD), Sima Yi died in Wu County at the age of forty-five.

Original text [12]: Shi Chenyue: Emperor Xiaozong, because of his posture of embracing, used the transformation of the mother's clan, and there was nothing to do at home and abroad, for more than ten years. With the talent of Wu'an and the frontier of Enlightenment, and with the style of King Wen, by Hu Jianghan, confucius called me infallible. The mourning emperor is lenient and can be a king, and hong is dedicated to heaven and use dust to its virtue. The East Sea violates the driving of xu dragons, the subjects of surrender, the so-called weak victory over the strong, and the one who has to do everything in heaven and age.

Interpretation: Shi Guan said: Sima Tan, the Emperor Mu of Jin, was still in infancy when he ascended the throne, and his mother Chu Garlic zi edified the people on his behalf, so he had more than ten years of peace and quiet inside and outside the Jin Dynasty. In the end, he appointed a talented person like Wu Anjun to serve the country, and in the style of King Wen of Zhou, he went to rule the Jianghan region, which is what Confucius said there was nothing to criticize.

Sima Pi, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, was lenient enough to be a king, but although he used the sacrifice of Hongda to continue his life, it had no meaning like dust.

The King of the East Sea disobeyed Xu Long's request to restore him to the throne and bent down to continue to be a vassal of the exile, just as he was said to be weak but could defeat the strong, which was the reason why he was able to enjoy the end of his life.

Original text [13]: Praise: Wei Qiu is called, great filial piety is the sect, obey the holy goodness, and Chengzi yungong. West Jingyulei, North Jingjin. Move the old man, do not come and go. After mourning, forgiveness, but the spirit is gathered. Haixi has many deaths, and the times and disasters have come. I am not Changyi.

Interpretation: Later generations have a poetic praise: the monarch can do the virtuous deeds is something that must be praised, only the great filial piety can become the ancestor, follow the good deeds of that time, can achieve a reputation of respect. Only in this way can we make the flags of the Western countries and the ethnic minorities in the north become our barriers like Yulei Mountain and Jin YongCheng. They will also be like the Yin people who have migrated and the servants who chase the sun, and there will be no one who will not come to obey. The Emperor of Jin was very generous and benevolent, but Lingming asked him to go to the assembly. There were many changes during the Haixi Gong period, and it was the disasters of the time that led to his final results. The person who abolished him was not Yi Yin (Ah Heng, the official title of the official position that Yi Yin had held), nor was he the King of Changyi, who huo Guang later deposed.
