Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, was enthroned earlier, and after Sima Yan, the Emperor wu of Jin, accepted the "Zen Concession" of the State of Wei, he made him the King of Zhao, and later changed his title to King zhao. Although Sima Lun was a prince, he was greedy and frivolous by nature.
Sun Xiu was a traitorous villain who served under Sima Lun. Because Sun Xiu was both flattering and good at greeting, he was trusted by Sima Lun as a confidant after a long time.
After Yang Jun's rebellion, the struggle at the upper echelons of the Western Jin dynasty continued. Because of the struggle between the various factions and forces, the dangers inside and outside the imperial court were fraught, and the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind was not stopping.
After the fall of Yang Jun, the imperial court was temporarily quiet. The crown prince Sima Suo was not born to Empress Jia and was quite popular inside and outside the imperial court.
Moreover, the East Palace also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which also makes Jia Nanfeng quite jealous.
Jia Nanfeng regarded Sima Song as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, and he would want to get rid of it quickly.
(Empress Jia Nanfeng of the Jin Hui Emperor)
In December 299, Jia Nanfeng proclaimed the crown prince in the name of Emperor Hui of Jin, and sima Suo was lured into the palace without seeing his father.
Jia Nanfeng instructed his confidante, Chen Wu, to give the prince three liters of wine by order of the emperor. Sima Song did not dare to resist the will, and did not feel drunk.
Jia Nanfeng was fierce, and when he saw Sima Song fall into the trap, he used a serial plan. She instructed Pan Yue, the Yellow Gate attendant, to write a text, and then asked Sima Suo to repeat it according to the transcription.
This article is full of words of resentment and resentment: "Your Majesty should be self-sufficient, not self-contained, I deserve it." The middle palace is again suitable for self-help, not self-help, I should take it. And with Concubine Xie, two shots, do not hesitate, so that the consequences will be troubled. Ru Mao drank blood under the Three Chens, Emperor Tianxu was the one who swept away the evil, Li Daowen was the king, and Jiang Shi was the inner lord. May it be fulfilled, when the three animals are worshipped in the North King. (Zizhi Tongjian)
Sima Suo was already drunk and had long lost the ability to distinguish, where could he prevent the harm of others? So, I really transcribed it according to the manuscript.
Jia Nanfeng received evidence of the crown prince's guilt, so he used this as a basis to slander the prince to Sima Zheng, the emperor of Jinhui.
Emperor Hui of Jin was really annoyed, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to kill the crown prince Sima Song! Sima Song was famous, and the courtiers were shocked to learn of this.
Seeing that the imperial court ministers were not in a decision, Jia Nanfeng was worried that the conspiracy would be leaked to him after a long time, so he asked Emperor Hui of Jin to abolish Sima Suo's position as crown prince.
(Sima Zheng, Emperor Hui of Jin)
The faint-hearted Emperor Hui of Jin obeyed Jia Nanfeng's words, so he sent a decree to depose the crown prince Sima Suo and move him to Jin Yongcheng to be imprisoned, and later to Xuchang under house arrest.
However, if people don't know unless they can do anything about it, Jia Nanfeng's conspiracy has been leaked out after a long time. When the courtiers loyal to the Jin dynasty learned that the prince had suffered injustice, they were indignant and indignant.
The Wei Governor Sima Ya and Chang Cong, Xu Chao, conspired with Lang Shiyi in the palace to launch a coup d'état. He tried to depose Empress Jia Nanfeng and restore Sima Suo to the position of crown prince.
Jia Nanfeng's energy was really too great, and Sima Ya and others were weak. Therefore, they tried to join forces with Sima Lun, the King of Zhao.
Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, had always been ambitious and wanted to seize the opportunity to seize power. Therefore, after receiving Sima Ya's request, he consulted with his confidant Sun Xiu on countermeasures.
Sun Xiu believed that if Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, wanted to gain power, he must overthrow the domineering Empress Jia Nanfeng. However, he could not be too hasty, and he could not help Sima Suo to restore his position as crown prince.
(Crown Prince Sima Song)
Sima Song was clever and fierce, not a master who was willing to be manipulated by others, and the reason why Sima Song was subject to Jia Hou was not that his strength could not be controlled, but that he was afraid of himself in name.
Therefore, instead of helping Sima Suo to restore the throne, it was better to induce Jia Nanfeng to get rid of Sima Song.
As long as Jia Nanfeng killed Sima Song, it would inevitably trigger turmoil in the DPRK, push him to the cusp of the storm, and become the target of public opinion in the government and the public.
Sima Lun agreed with Sun Xiu's analysis and decided to wait until Jia Nanfeng had eliminated Sima Song's public opinion uproar before acting.
Sun Xiu was scheming, and in order to force Empress Jia Nanfeng to get rid of Sima Song, he instructed his subordinates to create rumors that someone wanted to depose Hou Andying the Crown Prince. After the rumors spread to the palace, Empress Jia Nanfeng was greatly frightened.
In order to eliminate the aftermath, Jia Nanfeng instructed the Tai Doctor to order Cheng To make poison and send Huang men Sun Wei to Xuchang to kill Sima Song. Sun Wei forced Sima Suo to take poison, but Sima Suo refused to commit suicide. Sun Wei jumped the wall and beat Sima Suo to death with a medical pestle.
When the news of Sima Song's death reached Luoyang, public opinion was immediately in an uproar, and Empress Jia Nanfeng was indeed pushed to the cusp of the storm.
At this time, Sun Xiu saw that the time was ripe, so he persuaded Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, to seize the opportunity to launch a coup d'état. Therefore, Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, ordered Sima Lun the Three Ministries to raise troops to help him kill Empress Jia Nanfeng, and threatened that if anyone disobeyed the Yi Clan, the Three Simas would obey the orders of Sima Lun, the King of Zhao.
(Sima Lun, King of Zhao)
One night in April 299, Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, led soldiers and horses into the palace. Empress Jia Nanfeng became alarmed and did not know how to deal with it in a hurry?
Jia Nanfeng saw that the situation was extremely critical and had to flee in a hurry, and it was precisely in the palace that he met Sima Ran, the King of Qi. Jia Nanfeng asked in shock, "Why is King Qi here?" Sima Ran replied, "Of course, it is at the will of the emperor to arrest you!"
Jia Nanfeng listened and said anxiously and annoyedly, "The Holy Will has always been controlled by me, how can you have the Emperor's Holy Will in your hand?" After saying that, he withdrew and ran upstairs to hide, facing the palace where Emperor Hui of Jin lived and shouting for help! Who knows, Emperor Hui of Jin didn't have any reaction.
Jia Nanfeng was full of evil, and was finally captured by Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, and his henchmen were all captured without a net.
Jia Nanfeng has always been lustful and unscrupulous in order to seize power.
How could she have expected that she would raise fire to others on weekdays, and suddenly the wind would return to self-immolation!
After the fall of Jia Nanfeng, the power of the imperial court fell into the hands of Sima Lun, the King of Zhao. Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, was ambitious and had already coveted the imperial throne of Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui.
In order to remove the obstacles on the road to seizing power, Sima Lun took the opportunity of "overthrowing Jia" to carry out a large-scale purge. The imperial court ministers Zhang Hua, Pei Jun, Xie Jie, Xie Jie, and others were all killed and the three tribes were wiped out.
(Sun Xiu)
Later, Sima Lun blackmailed Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui, and took the opportunity to monopolize the power of the imperial court. Sima Lun proclaimed himself the governor of the Chinese and foreign militaries, xiangguo, and shizhong, and combined the power of the imperial court into one, and placed tens of thousands of soldiers in the palace for self-defense.
Sima Lun also spread his private favor to support his henchmen to supplement himself, and his confidant Sun Xiu was also given the title of Dajun and held military power. Sun Xiu knew that Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, was greedy and stupid, and relied entirely on himself to advise him.
Therefore, he took the opportunity to seize power and gradually formed a trend of threatening the imperial court. Many imperial court ministers were not afraid of Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, but instead feared Sun Xiu.
Although Sima Lun and Sun Xiu, the King of Zhao, single-handedly covered the sky, they were unable to gain the heartfelt support of the government and the public. Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, was resolute and courageous, and had great prestige in the imperial court.
Sima Yun had already sensed that Sima Lun's intention to plot against Sima Yun would be detrimental to Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui.
Therefore, he secretly cultivated a group of daredevils and prepared to find an opportunity to get rid of Sima Lun and Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu was very cunning, and when he learned that Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, was going to deal with Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and himself, he instigated Sima Lun to promote Sima Yun to a lieutenant, in an attempt to seize Sima Yun's military power by means of ming ascension and secret surrender!
Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, had always been wary of Sima Lun and Sun Xiu, the king of Zhao, so he refused to accept Sima Lun's promotion at all.
Sun Xiu saw that Sima Yun was so stubborn, so he sent the imperial envoy Liu Ji to force Sima Yun to obey. Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, was furious and led his men to attack Sima Lun and Sun Xiu. Since Sima Yun was highly regarded, many people soon came to help in the battle.
Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, was very strong in combat, and Sima Lun and Sun Xiu were not opponents. However, when Sima Yun gained the upper hand, Emperor Sima Zheng sent the capital Fuyin to lead 400 troops to try to stop the struggle between the King of Huainan and the King of Zhao.
However, the capital Fuyin was bribed by Sun Xiu, who deceived Sima Yun with the orders of Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui, to induce Sima Yun to come out to take over the order, and then used the despicable means of sneak attack to kill Sima Yun.
Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, died, and his men disintegrated due to the leaderlessness of the dragons. Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, and Sun Xiu were lucky enough to win the victory and were able to continue their fierceness!
Sima Yun's death made other forces in the imperial court who opposed Sima Lun and Sun Xiu dare not act rashly. Sima Lun and Sun Xiu, the king of Zhao, believed that the imperial court ministers had been deterred, that their positions had been secured, and that the time was ripe for them to become a major event.
In the first month of 301 AD, Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui, was forced to abdicate as Emperor Taishang, and Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, openly ascended the throne as a lone widow.
Although Sima Lun became the "emperor", because he was completely stupid and had no skills to govern the country, Sima Lun was only a tablet, and his real power fell into the hands of Sun Xiu.
Where sima Lun's "edict" did not conform to Sun Xiu's intentions, he changed it at will. Even the order was changed, leaving the court ministers at a loss.
In order to consolidate their position, Sima Lun and Sun Xiu established a private party, and indiscriminately gave official titles regardless of the nobility of the characters. Although the court was full of clothes, it was ridiculed as "insufficient mink, dog tail continuation", which means that his subordinate officials are overflowing and lack of real talents and practical scholars.
At this point, Sima Lun lost a lot of popularity in the imperial court, and although he was strong for a while, he was like a pavilion in the sand. Without the wind and waves, there is still a scale, and once the wind and clouds suddenly change, they will collapse.
Because Sima Lun and Sun Xiu have committed many evil deeds, it is inevitable that the evil will be liquidated after all! Due to the conflict of interests, the contradiction between Sima Lun and Sima Ran, the King of Qi, gradually intensified. Therefore, Sima Ran, the king of Qi, spread the word to the world, calling on the princes of the Sima family and local towns to raise troops against Sima Lun.
Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, successively raised troops in response to Sima Ran, the king of Qi. The Three Kings' soldiers were powerful, and the soldiers pointed directly at the capital Luoyang City.
The "Emperor" Sima Lun and Sun Xiu learned of the news that the three kings had joined forces to discuss, and although they seemed to have no plan for a while, they still had to struggle to the death.
Therefore, Sima Lun dispatched his troops to resist the Three Kings on the one hand, and on the other hand, he masturbated with the technique of the left path of the side door. According to historical records, "Lun and Xiu prayed day and night, tired of victory in order to seek blessings, so that the witches chose the day of the battle, and then made people wear feather clothes on Mount Artemisia, falsely called the immortal King Qiao, and wrote a book about Lun Zuo for a long time, hoping to confuse the people." However, this kind of ghost trick is nothing more than self-deception, how can it scare the Three Kings?
The combined forces of the princes were approaching Luoyang, but Sima Lun and Sun Xiu had rebelled. At the time of crisis, a wave of "inverted Lun" was set off within the imperial court. At this time, Sun Xiu no longer had the arrogance of the past, and he did not dare to leave Zhongshu Province for half a step!
Sima Lun summoned his henchmen to discuss and find a way out, but the henchmen were not satisfied. Some people advocate stubborn resistance to the end, others advocate burning the palace and killing dissidents and leaving the country, and some advocate fleeing by boat to the East China Sea.
Time passed little by little in the deliberations of Sima Lun and his henchmen. Seeing that Sima Lun and Sun Xiu were cornered, the "Reverse Lun Faction" decided to revolt in the capital to echo the combined forces of the princes.
The Left Wei generals Wang You and Shang Shuling led troops into the palace and killed Sun Xiu and his henchmen in Zhongshu Province. As soon as Sun Xiu died, Sima Lun was isolated and had to obediently obey under the threat of the Reverse Lun faction.
However, even though the matter had reached this point, Sima Lun still wanted to survive, and Sima Lun blamed all the responsibility for the bad things on the instigation of Yu Xingsun Xiu, in an attempt to seek the forgiveness of the Lun faction. However, this was only Sima Lun's wishful thinking, would the Fallen Lun sect return to the mountain?
Under the intimidation of the Fallen Lun faction, the "emperor" Sima Lun was forced to announce his resignation and welcome the restoration of Sima Zheng, the emperor of Jinhui. After the order of the imperial court was restored, the liquidation of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was launched. Emperor Sima Tong of Liang requested that Sima Lun the Prince of Zhao be killed, and Emperor Hui of Jin would play the title.
Therefore, he sent Shangshu Yuan Chang to kill Sima Lun, and killed several of Sima Lun's sons, and all the officials of the imperial court who were used by Sima Lun were deposed.
In this 60-day military coup, as many as 100,000 people died as a result of the melee. After the fall of Sima Lun the King of Zhao, the pattern of the Western Jin court changed abruptly, and power was transferred from the hands of Sima Lun and Sun Xiu to the hands of Sima Ran, the King of Qi, and Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui, was still a puppet.
