Comrade Sima Zheng's brain is not very good.
To what extent is that not so good?
Addition and subtraction can be calculated, and multiplication and division are a bit difficult.
Basic etiquette can be understood, but human nature is completely unknown.
The feudal monarchy era was ruthless, cruel to minors, and even less friendly to fools.
But Sima Zheng had his unique survival skills.
His skill is to be good.
Yes, the brain is not as good as the life.
Sima Zheng has a good father.
His father was known all over the world and was the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan.
Sima Yan had many sons.
After all, he had many concubines, and there were nearly ten thousand concubines registered in the entire harem.
There are many wives, and naturally there are many births.
These sons have exported chapters and are brilliantly literate.
There are brave and brave, born to be talented.
There are also thoughtful and strategic.
They are all kinds of excellent talents, and if you pick one at random, you are the dragon and phoenix among the people, the leader of the people.
But Sima Yan only chose Sima Zheng, who was not very clever.
The reason is still that, Comrade Sima Zheng was born well.
He was not only the emperor's son, but also the emperor's second son.
Yes, Sima Yan, the Emperor of Wu, was a very traditional man, and he followed the system of succession of the eldest son.
(Portrait of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin)
The imperial power is heavy and selfish, and as an emperor, it is difficult for him to be fair, so he simply takes another path:
Choose relatives and not morality.
Then some readers may have to ask, is Sima Zheng not the second son? Don't you have the eldest son?
Indeed, the name is Sima Rail.
But Sima Rail died two years old, so this eldest son was equivalent to nothing.
Without the eldest son, Sima Zheng, the second son, became a treasure knot that was loved by the emperor.
The emperor's love for Sima Zheng was not ambiguous at all.
In the first three years of Tai's reign, Sima Zheng was made crown prince.
In the eighth year of Tai's reign, he arranged for Jia Nanfeng, the daughter of his confidante Jia Chong, to be Sima Zheng's wife.
The work is properly arranged, and the married life is all arranged.
The emperor focused on the cultivation of Sima Zheng, so the question is, Emperor Wu of Jinwu tangtang founding emperor, Wenzhi Wugong, Wen Tao Wuluo, can't you see that his son's intelligence is low?
Of course, the emperor was aware of it, and even personally gave Sima Zheng several questions on the practice of governing the country, with a time limit of three days to answer.
Sima Zheng took the exam questions from his father, his eyes were confused, and with his INTELLIGENCE, it was really difficult for some strong people to let him talk about his views on governing the country.
If you can't answer, you can only hand in a white paper.
If you hand in the white paper, it is inevitable to expose that your IQ is not enough.
If his own IQ is not enough, the father will inevitably take himself off the position of prince.
The more Sima Zheng thought about it, the more worried he became, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, crouching at home and crying, and in desperation, he could only ask for help from his wife, Jia Nanfeng.
Jia Nanfeng is a female stream, and learning some of the "Four Books", "Five Classics", "Female Virtue" and the like will come to an end, of course, it is impossible to answer for Sima Zheng.
She can't, but she can call people.
Three-legged toads are not easy to find, and two-legged literati Confucians are still a lot.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, culture was popular, and two people were casually pulled on the street to ask questions, basically engaged in literature.
Jia Nanfeng quickly found a few old scholars, clicked to write, and quickly answered the emperor's examination questions.
Sima Zheng took someone else's answer and handed it to the emperor, and the emperor looked at it and was very satisfied, thinking that the IQ of his son Sima Zheng was at least greater than 80, if not high.
Greater than 80, that's enough.
For the emperor himself, the Western Jin Dynasty was full of peace and tranquility, and the surrounding YuKuqing had always been shrouded in prosperity, and his son was fully qualified for this job as long as he was not a low-energy child.
Was the Western Jin Dynasty prosperous?
Obviously not.
The usurpation of power had been in crisis since its inception, and the emperor had been living in a kind of whitewashed peace.
But even if it is a whitewashed Taiping, the emperor has lived to the end.
In the first year of Taixi, in 290 AD, Sima Yan died of illness at the age of fifty-five.
As soon as the old emperor died, the new emperor Sima Zheng ascended the throne without stopping. (Emperor Hui of Jin)
Sima Zheng became emperor, and the first person to thank was a person.
This person is his wife, Jia Nanfeng, who helped him find the gunman to cheat.
(Sima Zheng, Emperor Hui of Jin, and Empress Jia Nanfeng)
The best way for the emperor to thank his woman was to give her infinite respect.
In the whole world, the emperor is honored, followed by the queen.
Therefore, Jia Nanfeng transformed into Empress Jia of the Western Jin Dynasty.
As we know, Sima Zheng's intelligence is very low, and it is difficult for the government affairs to be handled alone.
One letter after another, one state affair after another, the emperor's dragon case and the ministers' concerts were piled up into a mountain, but the emperor could not handle one thing properly.
There is no way, you can't do it yourself, you can only find someone else to help.
Who are you looking for?
Queen Jia Nanfeng.
Of course, Jia Nanfeng was happy to help and do things for the emperor, who could not be happy?
But we should pay attention to this historical record:
Empress Jia Nanfeng helped the emperor deal with the imperial government.
To say that it is good is to be helpful, and to say it is not good, that is, the queen is arbitrary.
In the era of feudal dictatorship, if you want to maintain the operation of a huge empire, you mainly rely on two points.
The first is a strong centralized system, and only when power is highly concentrated on the emperor can it ensure that the people below are obedient and have no intention of rebellion and uprising.
Second, the emperor himself must be very talented, and he must have two brushes to keep these ministers in order to calm down.
But it is clear that the Western Jin Dynasty did not have these two crucial points.
During the reign of the old emperor Sima Yan, he divided his children and grandchildren across the country, resulting in a plummeting of imperial power, and more and more feudal kings in various places who supported soldiers and respected themselves.
The new emperor Sima Zheng should not say that he was shrewd and capable, and he could not even reach the level of a normal person, let alone coordinate the relationship between the civil and military officials and the courtiers and the public.
What about Empress Jia Nanfeng? Can you play the role of a good helper at this critical moment?
The answer is of course not.
Jia Nanfeng is a well-known figure in Chinese history, and people give him the nickname: "Demon Queen".
The meaning of the demon queen is that Ms. Jia Nanfeng is very capable of being a demon, and after having real power, the good things are not done, and the bad things are done in a basket.
Such as mutilating concubines in the harem, suppressing ministers in the court, and even taking action against the imperial relatives and nobles of the Western Jin Dynasty.
But at the time, it wasn't a big deal.
As long as it does not affect the foundation of the whole country, people can open one eye and close one eye.
Then Dazai Sima Liang was killed.
Then the empress dowager was also killed.
In the end, even the crown prince Sima Song was killed.
(Sima Song image)
This time the big guys couldn't stand it.
In particular, the kings of the Western Jin Dynasty were even more angry.
Because Sima Song's popularity and fame have always been very good in the Western Jin Dynasty.
One of the reasons why Sima Yan wanted to make him crown prince at the risk that his son Sima Zheng was a fool was because although Sima Zheng was stupid, he gave birth to a good son who was extremely intelligent.
This son was Sima Song.
If sima song wanted to be emperor, he must first make his father Sima Zheng emperor.
The old emperor was painstakingly lonely, and as a result, he was destroyed by Jia Nanfeng.
Sima Song was the sustenance of the entire Sima family, and it was also the hope of the entire Western Jin Dynasty.
Now such a good seedling was killed by Jia Nanfeng.
Can't stand it, really can't stand it.
The fierce Rebellion of the Eight Kings began.
Advance warning, this period of historical figures, complex story, plot twists, non-professional historical researchers, it is recommended to skip, directly read the end of the article.
Okay, the story begins.
(Image of Sima Lun, King of Zhao)
Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, took the lead in revolting and beheaded Jia Nanfeng, who was overriding the imperial power.
Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, was very dissatisfied, why, the limelight has left you alone? I have to pack up after you.
Therefore, Sima Yun decided to raise an army against Sima Lun.
The idea is impulsive and the consequences are severe.
Sima Yun raised his troops on the front foot, and the rear foot was completely destroyed.
Sima Lun saw that he was quite fierce, And Brother Yun was beaten on the ground by himself, and he was still afraid of what he was, so he simply usurped the throne and established himself, turning Sima Zheng into the Emperor Taishang and becoming the emperor himself.
Sima Zheng didn't care, the improper emperor was just right, and he didn't want to go to work anyway.
But the other clan kings were very unhappy in their hearts.
Everyone is the same king of the clan, you can be the emperor, why can't I be the emperor?
Sima Ran, the King of Qi, looked at it, you are all called emperor, I can't be idle, I absolutely can't let you be comfortable, so I raised an army to attack Sima Lun.
He is obviously a rebellious thief who is rebelling against him, and secretly he is looking to see if he can gain some benefits in this chaotic situation.
This time Sima Ran was not alone, he was very well prepared, and united Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, Sima Ai the king of Changshan, and Sima Yi, the king of Huailing, and the five kings of the clan formed a team to raise troops to attack Sima Lun.
Two fists were difficult to defeat ten pairs of hands, and this time Sima Lun was cold.
He was expelled from the throne and exiled, and the throne returned to Sima Zheng.'
Although Sima Zheng returned to the throne, power fell back into the hands of Sima Ran, the King of Qi.
(Image of Sima Ran, King of Qi)
Yes, although I helped you drive away Sima Lun, I can't do it for you, I am not the emperor, I don't want your throne, I am a powerful courtier, not too much, right?
Not too much, certainly not too much.
Sima Zheng still has a face that does not matter, when the emperor is also playing, the improper emperor is also idle, the difference is not big.
Sima Ran's work as a vassal did not last two days, and Sima Rui, the king of Donglai, disobeyed Sima Ran's rule and wanted to raise an army to revolt, but he did not expect that the matter was exposed, and sima Ran preemptively attacked and directly killed him.
Comrade Sima Rui was not fully prepared, but died very well.
Sima Ran's monopoly on power and power were getting bigger and bigger, and the teammates who had previously partnered with him were no longer doing it.
They are all brothers who have carried guns on the battlefield together, how can you mix so well yourself?
Sima Yong, the king of Hejian and Sima Qi, the king of Changshan, met overnight and said that they would pull Sima Ran down.
With their previous successful experience against Sima Lun, they quickly found two more benevolent brothers:
Sima Xin the King of Xinye and Sima Yu the King of Fanyang.
The four feudal lords revolted against Sima Ran.
Sima Ran said I was very embarrassed.
These two days were busy with power, and I didn't expect that these clan kings would actually unite against themselves, and as a result, they were quickly killed by Sima Qi, the king of Changshan.
Sima Qi also ascended to the throne of power and became a figure of power in the Western Jin Dynasty.
This is really not a wise choice.
Because he did not learn from Sima Ran's failure experience, that is:
After the team is successful and the victory is achieved, it is not possible to swallow the experience cake alone.
You don't share it with your brothers who are fighting with you, and they won't be able to resist you one day.
(Warring lords of various clans)
Sure enough, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, temporarily formed a squad to educate this teammate who did not know how to share.
As a result, Sima Qi took the bento non-stop, and Sima Qi, the king of Hejian, took over his class and became the new ruler.
But the laws of history of the Western Jin Dynasty tell us that as long as people do not die, the struggle will not end.
They are either brothers, or relatives, or the elder and younger generations, and they are originally blood relatives of the same lineage.
But at this moment, everyone is a vicious Shura.
In the face of power, it seems that any emotion seems a little pale and powerless.
(Rebellion of the Eight Kings image)
There are still many kings of the Sima family, all of whom are looking at the tiger everywhere, and Sima Hao will certainly not be able to sit in his position.
But here's a slight change.
Previously, they all fought in teams, but the effect was not very good, because teaming up would lead to uneven distribution of power.
Some people earn a lot of money, and some people work for nothing.
So everyone decided to give up the team and single-row the king.
The Western Jin Dynasty was caught in a scuffle.
Veteran players Sima Yue of Hejian Wang and Sima Ying of Chengdu have fought each other, and the rising star Donghai Xiaoxian Wang Sima Yue and Fanyang Wang Sima Yue have also fought back and forth.
Seeing this, don't say that readers are easy to be confused, even the author himself is easy to write.
Yes, this history is so raw, complex, and bloody.
But thankfully, it was coming to an end soon.
The four forces fought back and forth, and one after another, Sima Yong, Sima Ying, and Sima Xiao received bento boxes.
(Image of Sima Yue, King of Donghai)
The final victor was Sima Yue, the King of Xiaoxian in the East China Sea.
For Sima Yue himself, this is really a proud past.
In the past sixteen years, the Central Plains have been in flames of war, and either you kill me or I kill you.
In scheming, deceiving me, either you die or I die.
Ambition and ideals go hand in hand, killing and glorifying companions.
Strange court, ferocious battlefield, if you are not careful, you will lose your life.
History calls this period the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", but who really participated in this battle, why not the Eight Kings?
Sima Yue survived, he was a victor and a survivor.
In the past sixteen years, the Western Jin Dynasty regime has been wiped out, the rule has fallen apart, the mountains and rivers have been bloody and tearful, and the scorched earth has been scorched.
It is safe to say that in this day and age, no one is happy.
But there are always exceptions to everything.
Our protagonist Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui, is very happy.
He was born in 259 AD, died in 307 AD, and has been on earth for 48 years, and every day seems to be good.
He was always used, coerced, imprisoned, and restrained.
He lost the mind of a normal man and his dignity as an emperor.
But he ate well, stayed well, slept well.
Don't grieve because power has been taken away.
There is no fear of brothers killing each other.
Nor will it be painful because the mountains and rivers are broken and the empire will die.
(The dying Western Jin Dynasty)
He has been calm.
When he was chosen by his father Sima Yan, he was calm, because he had no idea what it meant to be emperor.
During the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, he was very calm, because his brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles called around, and it did not affect his daily meals, diets, leisure and entertainment.
And now that the war is over, Sima Yue, the king of filial piety in the East China Sea, stands out and becomes a victor, overriding the imperial power, elevating himself, and becoming a powerful minister, he is still very calm.
What does it matter?
Anyway, wasn't he a foolish emperor who wanted to seek help from others from the beginning?
Going round and round, everything is back to square one.
The calm Sima Zheng ended his peaceful life.
A new era is about to begin.
