What kind of person was Sima Shao, emperor of the Jin Dynasty? How did he die?

In ancient Chinese history, emperors regarded themselves as the Son of Heaven, the supreme being, and the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie, also compared himself to the sun in the sky, which was simply the most miserable time when the sun was darkened! However, just a thousand years later, there was really an emperor in history who "incarnated the sun", he was the second emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Shao, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

Sima Shao had been associated with the sun since childhood, and his father Emperor Yuan of Jin always considered him a strange boy. Once, when an emissary from Chang'an entered the palace to see Emperor Yuan of Jin, Emperor Yuan of Jin looked at the sun in the sky and casually asked Sima Shao, "Child, do you say that the sun in the sky is farther away from Chang'an?" ”

Sima Shao replied at that time: "Chang'an is closer, because I have never heard of anyone coming from the side of the sun!" ”

The next day, Emperor Yuan of Jin held a banquet in the palace and invited all the courtiers, at which Emperor Yuan of Jin asked Sima Shao the same question: "Which is farther away, the sun and Chang'an?" ”

This time, Sima Shao replied, "The sun is closer." ”

What kind of person was Sima Shao, emperor of the Jin Dynasty? Emperor Yuan of Jin was confused after listening to it, he originally wanted to show off his son's wisdom to the Wenwu Hundred Officials, as long as Sima Shao answered like yesterday, but Sima Shao did not play cards according to common sense, his face changed, and asked Sima Shao: "Why is today's answer different from yesterday's?" ”

Sima Shao said, "Now when you look up, you can see the sun, but you can't see Chang'an!" ”

After Emperor Jin Yuan listened to Long Yan Dayue, he felt even more that Sima Shao was a strange boy!

After Sima Shao grew up, the gods and warriors had a bright strategy, and the people in the government and the public admired and respected him very much. Later, Sima Shao became emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Wang Dun, a powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, intended to rebel and marched to the Beijing Division in June 323.

Sima Shao secretly got this news, so he rode out of the palace alone, and the horse came to Yuhu, where Wang Dun's camp was camped, and walked around Wang Dun's military camp, because he was discovered by the soldiers in Wang Dun's army, so he could only escape on horseback. Wang Dun's soldiers did not know that he was Sima Shao, but after seeing Sima Shao's appearance, they could not help but sigh and say, "This is not an ordinary person!" ”

Just at this moment, Wang Dun, who was sleeping heavily, dreamed that the sun was circling his city, and he woke up in shock, and immediately thought of Sima Shao from this dream, saying: "It must be the yellow-bearded Xianbei slave coming!" The reason why Wang Dun said this was because Sima Shao's appearance followed his mother, who was a yellow-haired xianbei slave.

Wang Dun sent five cavalry to pursue Sima Shao, and Sima Shao fled while pouring cold water on the horse dung of the horse. Passing by a hostel selling rice, Sima Shao handed his Seven Treasures Whip to the old woman and said to the old woman, "There will be cavalry passing by later, and you can show them this whip." ”

The old woman did as Sima Shao said, and the five cavalrymen thought that Sima Shao had fled far away, so they stopped chasing, and Sima Shao was able to escape.

This matter is also strange to say, you say how is it so coincidental, Sima Shao walked around Wang Dun's military camp, and Wang Dun dreamed that there was a sun around him?

Sima Shao, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, was a young and promising emperor, but unfortunately, he died of illness at the age of 27, otherwise the Eastern Jin Dynasty could have been brilliant in ancient history.
