After Emperor Hui of Jin succeeded to the throne, the world was soon in chaos, to the point of being unmanageable. Why? The clear-eyed people first blamed this on Emperor Wu of Jin. It is said that he cannot think of danger in peace after the world is settled, but instead encourages arrogance and lasciviousness. World Style; He favors the adulterer, causing the villain to succeed and the loyal to the subject; He was confused by his family affection, and could not recognize Emperor Hui's inconsistencies and made early decisions; He was mistaken by the traitors and did not get rid of Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu leader who harbored evil intentions, as soon as possible... In the middle of these years, the imperial court was in chaos, the country was in turmoil, and even the emperor was displaced. When commenting on him, Tang Taizong said: "He who knows his son is a wise father, and he who knows his subjects is Ming Jun;
child. If you are not shawn, your family will die, and if your subjects are disloyal, your country will be in turmoil; National chaos cannot be peaceful, and family death cannot be completely destroyed. It is the gentleman who guards against its beginning, and the saint who is idle.
How could Emperor Hui of Jin himself be so bad? The Book of Jin records that from the time he was crown prince, everyone in the imperial court knew that he was incompetent for the throne. Even Emperor Wu of Jin himself had doubts, and once summoned all the officials of the Eastern Palace and asked them to deal with the official affairs of Shangshu Province to the crown prince. Crown Princess Jia sent people around her to deal with the prince, and quoted Gu Yi in the middle. Zhang Hong said to Zhang Hong, "The crown prince has no knowledge, and the emperor knows this." It is time to judge things according to the facts, and not to quote ancient meanings. Therefore, Concubine Jia asked Zhang Hong to take the place of the prince to deal with it, and then asked the prince to copy it down and report it to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu was very happy after seeing this, so Emperor Hui retained the position of crown prince. When he ascended the throne, he would not handle political affairs himself, and all the affairs of the state were decided by "the people below, so the discipline of the imperial court soon deteriorated to the point of being uncontrollable." All kinds of corrupt acts are openly rampant, and the powerful and powerful act arbitrarily, as a blessing, and as a loyal and virtuous person. The road to advancement is cut off, the flattering and treacherous villains are successful, the villains recommend each other, and the position of the state becomes a market for them to buy and sell freely.
Emperor Hui once played in the Hualin Garden, heard the cry of a toad, and asked the people around him, "Is this cry for the imperial court?" Or is it for the sake of private calling?" Someone replied, "If [they] are called on the territory of the imperial court, they are called for the court, and if they are called on the private territory, they are called for the private person." When the world was full of famine and war, he listened to people. The report said that the people had no food to eat, and many people starved to death, and they couldn't help but ask in surprise: "(They don't have food to eat) Why don't they eat porridge?"
Fang Xuanling, commenting on the era of his rule, said: "The name of the object is loyal, Yu Zbaben; People called demons, and since then they have been drained. "This means that at this time, the loyal and the wise have lost the foundation of being a man, and the treacherous and evil leaders have lost the channels for advancement.
