In ancient times, there were only two ways to become a high-ranking official and nobleman: first, through your own efforts, if you were full of economy or strong in force, then you could rely on a high-ranking official, Houlu, and a wife; if you did not have the ability and wanted to take shortcuts, then you could only pray for a good girl with good looks and temperament. Through the marriage with the royal family, you can mix with the imperial relatives and relatives without your own efforts.
However, people's desires are always never satisfied, and the imperial relatives and relatives want to go further for a long time, always want to experience the feeling of sitting on the dragon chair. If he succeeds, he is the master of the world, just like Yang Jian stole the Northern Zhou to establish the Sui Dynasty. If you are unlucky and fail, it can only be the fate of the whole family following the bad luck and accompanying themselves to the funeral. There are countless such examples. But all the imperial relatives in history who conspired to usurp the country did not have the insidious and vicious nature of this one.
He was one of the elder brothers-in-law of Liu Cong, the second emperor of former Zhao in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms: Jin Zhun!
This Liu Cong was the emperor who destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, and was a typical womanizer. Especially in his later years, he only cared about female sex and ignored the government. He had a Lang official under him, Jin Zhun, who coveted power and had two beautiful daughters, so he gave his two daughters to Liu Cong. Liu Cong was naturally ecstatic and very fond of his two daughters. He also made both of his daughters empresses. Since then, Jin Zhun has lived a life of extremely popular courtiers and flying and wandering.
Liu Cong was Shu Chu, and the emperor's throne had nothing to do with him. The rightful heir at the time was his elder brother, Liu He, the eldest son of concubine. It's just that Liu He didn't have ende after inheriting the throne, and he wanted to kill Liu Cong within a few days of being emperor. Who knew that Liu Cong had already prepared, but instead killed Liu He. This Liu Cong was also a strange person, he did not want to pass the throne to his son, but to his younger brother Liu Qi. This caused the displeasure of his son Liu Cang, who found the smelly Jin Zhun, and the two conspired to set a trap to unjustly accuse Liu Qi of rebellion, and eventually killed Liu Qi.
Liu Yue ascended to the throne as he wished, and Jin Zhun also used this matter to increase his power. In order to consolidate his position, in addition to letting his two queen daughters secretly sleep, he also sacrificed his other daughter. In the face of beautiful women, Liu Cang naturally did not let go, and also made her empress. Not only that, Jin Zhun also sent his niece Yi into the palace and made Liu Cang a concubine. In this way, Liu Cang's harem was completely controlled by the Jin clan.
Liu Cang, whose rule had stabilized, began to reveal his true nature as a late monarch, and he only cared about indulging in pleasure and leaving all military and political matters to the old man Jin Zhun to deal with. Jin Zhun already had the idea of replacing him, and even more so, he did not refuse to come. In the name of the emperor, he cultivated his own cronies, arranged his brothers and nephews into important military positions, and slowly grasped the military power of the forbidden army in the capital and the surrounding armies.
However, there was still a stepping stone on Jin Zhun's way to achieving great things, and Liu Cang's brothers and uncles were all horse generals who could recruit good warriors and hold the army in their hands. After Jin Zhun thought about it, he still felt that if he wanted to remove these big stones, he still had to let his good son-in-law Liu Yue help.
One night, Jin Zhun ran into the palace to see several daughters and pretended to be panicked, saying that several princes were secretly colluding with hundreds of officials and wanted to enter the palace to abolish Liu Cang, and once Liu Cang died, you would also follow the funeral. Several of her daughters believed it and were scared half to death. Busy crying and crying to find Liu Cang.
At this time, Liu Cang was already dizzy, and when he first heard about the rebellion of the clan, he did not do any detailed investigation, so he sent the forbidden army to kill his brother and uncle as quickly as possible.
Jin Zhun saw that Liu Yue had cut off his wings and killed his last patron, and there was no longer any power that could stop him.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to enter the palace with the army and kill Liu Cang, but he also felt unsafe, and he grabbed and cut all the old and young of the Zhao imperial family. In order to frighten the people, liu yuan and liu cong, the founding emperors of Later Zhao, were also dragged out of the grave and the wilderness, and Liu Cong was given a knife and two pieces, and the Zhao clan temple was burned. This was followed by a frenzied purge of forces loyal to Liu Yue in the DPRK.
After Jin Zhun finished purging the dissidents, he called himself the "King of Han Heaven" and began to divide the hundred officials according to his own wishes, and he also sat on the throne of the uncrowned king.
Later, Liu Yao, the king of Hanzhong at the time, became emperor and began a counter-offensive against Jin Zhun. Jin Zhun saw that the other side was coming with great momentum and sent his men to talk about peace. When his younger brother Jin Ming saw that he was gone, he encouraged him to surrender. Jin Zhun knew that he and Liu Shi were already in the same situation, and even if he surrendered, he would not have a good end. Within a year, Jin Ming couldn't bear it any longer, so he killed Jin Zhun and took his head and surrendered to Liu Yao.
Who knew that Liu Yao did not appreciate it, and killed Jin Ming and the Jin clan cleanly, which was considered to be a revenge for the extinction of the Liu clan.
