In 342 AD, the year Sima Yan of Jin died, and Sima Yue, the emperor of Jin Kang, ascended the throne.
Sima Yue (322-344), emperor of the Jin Dynasty, reigned from 342 to 344, reigning for only three years. The fourth emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zi Shitong, was the second son of Sima Shao, the emperor of JinMing, and the younger brother of Sima Yan, the emperor of Jincheng, and the mother of Empress Mingmu, Yu Wenjun. At the age of twenty-three, he was known as Emperor Kang and had no temple number.
About Sima Yue, in fact, there is nothing to write, and the biography of Sima Yue in the entire Jin Dynasty is 982 words.
As mentioned in the previous article, Sima Yan, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, for the sake of the overall situation, did not pass the throne to his young son, but to his brother who was twenty years old at the time. I thought that his brother could carry forward the ancestral inheritance and have some achievements, but unfortunately, this younger brother also had a short life, did not have lofty ideals, and was keen on cultural undertakings, and did not know whether the emperor of the Song Dynasty had learned from this emperor.
Three years in power, three years without alarm
From the map, when he and his brother were alive, not much had changed
Sima Yue reigned for three years, and the Book of Jin only recorded that he issued two edicts, both of which were dozens of words, one advocating restoration rites, and the other was Dai Kai, who surrendered to the north, and had no important content.
These three years were three years of calm, first of all, there was no rebellion experienced by the previous emperors, and the ministers seemed to be quite harmonious. More importantly, the threat from the north was not so serious, and more importantly, there was a struggle between the various ethnic groups in the north, and if Sima Yue could seize the opportunity, then there were one or two generals, and the Northern Expedition would be good.
The two dogfights were:
Shi Jilong marshaled Murong Hao and defeated him.
Murong Hao and the Xianbei marshal Yuwen returned to Changli, where they were defeated and ran to northern Mobei.
Murong Fu's surname is very familiar to everyone, this is the ancestors of Murong Fu in the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon. At this time, the Murong family was still very good.
Unfortunately, Sima Yue did not seize the opportunity, perhaps the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time had long lost the confidence of the Northern Plains. However, from an objective point of view, there were no major generals available in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time, and it was not necessarily feasible to lead a large-scale Northern Expedition.
In the past three years, except for internal and external troubles, it seems that the world has a bumper harvest, because the Book of Jin does not record any disasters. For disasters, Chinese still attach great importance to them, believing that this is a warning and punishment from heaven, and once there is a disaster, the history books will definitely record it.
After his death, his two-year-old son ascended the throne, reigned for seventeen years, and the interior was still harmonious, and his father and son had a good life, maybe this was the last comfort of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Lu Nü Ti is his masterpiece. Sorry, I can't find a picture of Lu Nu Ti. His brother and his father were highly accomplished in calligraphy. An emperor in a troubled world, not playing politics, playing art, this is not good.

The life expectancy is too short to see how many political achievements there are, but as a prince of a troubled world, it is not enough to seek stability.
