Jia Chong (贾充), courtesy name Gonglu, was the son of Jia Kui. Who is Jia Kui? He was a talented courtier of Cao Wei, who had made outstanding contributions to the unification of Cao Wei and Cao Wei. With the shadow of his father, Jia Chong's career in Cao Wei can be said to be smooth. However, unlike his father's choice, Jia Chong not only did not thank Cao Wei for His virtue, but instead threw himself into the arms of Sima Shi, and even became the first hero of the Sima family to jin Dynasty Wei, it can be said that he was "not only the rebel of the Wei Dynasty, but also the sinner of the Jin Dynasty". "How did Jia Chong help the Sima family ascend to the throne and become traitors who rebelled against the emperor?
1. He lost his father at an early age and defected to Sima Ma
Jia Kui lied to the three dynasties and received unanimous praise from Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, so much so that he was given the title of Marquis of Yuzhou and Marquis of Yangli Pavilion. Jia Chong is Jia Kui's old son, everyone says that it is a festive event of Chong Lu, so it is named after "Chong", and Jia Chong is also favored by Guan. But I didn't expect that the good times were not long, when Jia Chong was eleven years old, Jia Kui fell ill and died, but the young Jia Chong did not make a mistake at the time of the funeral, won the filial name, and also inherited his father's title. Later, Jia Chong entered The Cao Wei of Shi, "Bai Shang Shu Lang, Dian Ding Ke Ling, and concurrently branch examination class." Debate the degree of the chapter, and apply everything. Later, Jia Chong was further promoted and served as a waiter at the Yellow Gate and a general in the county of Ji County.
His father devoted his life to Cao Wei, but he died because he could not regret wu. And Jia Chong, because of the fame accumulated by his father, was smooth in Cao Wei's political arena, and it is reasonable to say that he should also be loyal to Cao Wei. However, after Jia Chong followed Sima Shi, he directly threw himself into Sima Shi's arms. Jia Chong first accompanied Sima Shi to quell the rebellion, and after Sima Shi's death, he supervised the military, and also took the lead in supporting Sima Zhao's seizure of power and usurpation of the throne, "adding three hundred and fifty households to Lao", as if he and his father had embarked on a different path.
2. Ji Ke is loyal and rebellious to the king
While Sima Shi was still alive, Cao Wei was only able to cover the sky with one hand, and Emperor Cao Fang was not willing to be a puppet, so he joined forces with Zhongshu To order Li Feng, Xiahou Xuan of Taichang, and Zhang Ji, the Grand Master of Guanglu, to plan to overthrow Sima Shi. "Arrest Xuan, Arrest, etc., and destroy the three tribes." In March, Nai satirized Tianzi for deposing Empress Zhang", further increasing Sima Shi's ambitions. Later, Sima Zhao, who was in power, also wanted to take Cao Wei and replace himself, but was afraid of the rebellion of the frontier generals with heavy troops, so he sent Jia Chong to test it. Jia Chong came to the place of the great general Zhuge Zhi of Zhengdong and knocked on the side to express Sima Zhao's intention to force the Wei emperor Cao To take the throne. However, in exchange for Zhuge Birthday's broken mouth scolding: "Qing Fei Jia Yu Zhou Zi Hu? The world is blessed with Wei En, how can it be that you want to lose people with social welfare! If there is trouble in Luo, I deserve to die. Although Jia Chong was ashamed and embarrassed, he thought that Zhuge Zhi was dissatisfied with Sima Shi's dictatorship and would definitely rebel in the future, so he suggested to Sima Zhao to get rid of Zhuge Shi: "Now the march is fast and the matter is small; if it is not levied, it will be late and the disaster will be great." Later, Zhuge Shi did indeed rebel, and Jia Chong offered another plan: "The Chu soldiers are light and sharp, and if the deep ditch is high to force the thief city, they can overcome it without fighting." After defeating Zhuge Shi, Jia Chong was made the Marquis of Yiyang Township for his merits.
After Sima Zhao disposed of a number of Cao Wei's loyal subjects, the Wei emperor Cao Xian could not sit still, and gathered the guards and some slaves in the palace to plan a crusade against Sima Zhao. Jia Chong was already a die-hard loyalist of Sima Zhao at this time, and he led his troops to block it, but he did not expect that Cao Xian actually personally raised his sword to fight and kill, and said that there were those who dared to move to exterminate the clan. Jia Chong's men were frightened by the emperor and fled, but Jia Chong stood up and inspired everyone, and instructed the crown prince Cheng Ji to kill Cao Xi. The ministers all threatened to execute Jia Chong, but Sima Zhao disagreed, and instead made Jia Chong the Marquis of Anyang Township, "Zengyi 1200 households, unify the armies outside the city, and add scattered horses to serve regularly."

Third, it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and adultery
Jia Chong had to rely on Sima Zhao for the crime of killing the king, so he became his confidant and was able to participate in the secrets of the imperial court. Although he betrayed Cao Wei, Jia Chong still had two brushes, and he contributed a lot in formulating laws and rehabilitating unjust prisons, and after becoming a court lieutenant, he also gained the reputation of rehabilitating unjust prisons because he was familiar with the criminal law and prison breaks, "Sealing Linyi Marquis, for the Jin Yuanxun, deeply favored, Lu Zhi is often better than the group of officials." When Sima Zhao was seriously ill, he pointed out to sima Yan that Jia Chong could be trusted, and sima Yan ascended to the throne as empress, and Jia Chong was also a pingbu Qingyun, and was worshipped as a che riding general, a scattered riding regular attendant, a Shangshu servant, and a duke of Lu County. By the emperor's favor, Jia Chong formed many henchmen in the court and also married the clan. Jia Chong's wanton behavior aroused the disgust of some upright and upright officials, but they were all cut off by Jia Chong one by one, and he himself was more and more favored, and he was transferred to the posts of Sikong and Taiwei, "more with the Duke of Peiguo, qiu yiqi, the more favored, the more the courtiers Xian sideways."
If it is said that the destruction of Wu is Jia Kui's long-cherished wish, and it is also said that "by the favor of the country, hate not to behead Sun Quan and see the former emperor", then Jia Chong's thoughts about Facing Eastern Wu are only one - fear. In the fifth year of Xianning (279), Sima Yanxing attacked Wu and ordered Jia Chong to make envoys to hold the festival, fake Huang Yu, dadu governor, and president of the sixth army. At that time, Eastern Wu was just a paper tiger, and the eastern Wu generals had long since lost their will to fight, but Jia Chong still opposed sending troops because he was afraid, if it were not for Sima Yan's forced order to destroy Wu, perhaps he Jia Chong would be the first deserter. On the mighty road of cutting down Wu, Jia Chong continued to stand up and sing the opposite tune, but he did not expect that the army was like a broken bamboo, the late Wu emperor Sun Hao surrendered, Jia Chong was ashamed to ask for guilt, but Sima Yan only made appeasement and did not ask for guilt.
