Emperor Hui's stupidity is unprecedented, and he has even reached the end of the country. - Wang Fuzhi sighed. The degree of its stupidity is enough to alert future generations, and the rise and fall of a country can not be decided by the foolishness of a king?
A stupid man cannot destroy a country, but a group of people obsessed with imperial power can lead to its destruction. The "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" in the Western Jin Dynasty lasted for 16 years, which not only brought about the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, but also caused the Han people to shed blood. The Hu tribe took the opportunity to invade, the Han people were forced to move south, and the Central Plains sank, which is the tragedy of the "Five Hu Chaohua".
Sima Zhen's two queens had very different fates: Jia Nanfeng was ugly but authoritarian, and became the culprit of the "Eight Kings Rebellion"; Although Yang Xianrong is beautiful and wise, he has been repeatedly abolished and reduced to a victim of power. Yang Xianrong was born in a famous family and was innocently victimized just because he married the wrong person. The matrowel of power leaves her at her mercy.
Grandfather Sun Xiu first set up Yang Xianrong as the queen, and then joined forces with Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, to depose Emperor Hui of Jin Sima Zhen, and Yang Xianrong was trapped in the cold palace. After Sima Lun usurped the throne, it caused public anger, and Sima Yu, the king of Qi, led a large army to crusade and finally overthrew Sima Lun.
With the help of Sima Jian, the king of Qi, Sima Zhen was reinstated, and Yang Xianrong ascended to the throne again. But the struggle for power continued, and the princes and kings saw that Sima Jian had monopolized power and joined forces to fight back. The Western Jin Dynasty fell into a power vacuum due to Sima Zhen's stupidity. The princes and kings frequently went to Luoyang to fight for power, and the strong would be besieged, and after the siege, a new strong man would rise. Sixteen years of strife, no one can dominate.
Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui and the queen sheep offered their faces, like the "banner of righteousness" swaying in the wind, sometimes supported by everyone, sometimes overthrown to the ground. Sima Xinxin is not intelligent enough, although Yang Xianrong is very intelligent, but as a woman, it is difficult to be independent after all. Yang Xianrong was abolished five times, and was finally made queen and became a pawn in the power game.
The Sima family continued to have civil strife, the power of the Han people in the Central Plains was sharply reduced, and the rebellion of the Eight Kings caused the people to suffer a lot. The Xiongnu Shan Yu Liu Yuan respected Liu Chan as the emperor, established the Han and Zhao regimes, and followed the example of Liu Bang and the Han family, and the royal family was surnamed Liu. Liu Yuan is the grandson of Hu Chu Quanshan Yu, who was once divided by Cao Cao.
After Liu Yuan ascended the throne, he sent Liu Cong to lead Liu Yao and Shi Le to conquer Luoyang, and Yang Xianrong became a prisoner of Liu Yao and was very favored. Liu Yao smiled and asked Yang Xianrong: "Compared with Sima Shizi, which is better?" Yang Xianrong said bluntly: "You are the founding saint, Sima Zhen is not the king of the dead country, how can you be compared?" He couldn't even protect his wife, so his concubines were humiliated at the hands of mediocre husbands. The concubine was born with a misanthropy early and was fortunate to meet the master. The daughter of a family of concubines, she has read countless people, but she has served His Majesty since she knew what a husband was. ”
Yang Xianrong won Liu Yao's heart with his delicate and intelligent posture, and after ascending the throne, he made her the queen, which was the sixth time that Yang Xianrong ascended to the throne. She successively gave birth to three sons, Liu Xi, Liu Xi, and Liu Xian, and Liu Yao doted on her and even let her participate in court politics. After Yang Xianrong passed away, he was honored as the "Queen of Xianwen".
Yang Xianrong met Liu Yao, which can be described as extremely lucky, and Liu Yao's power far exceeded that of Sima Zhen. However, for the Han people in the north, Liu Yao and others are intertwined with blood and tears, and the brutality is beyond the imagination of the "Eight Kings". The unification of the Jin Dynasty carried endless heaviness, helplessness and humiliation.
