In order to facilitate the reading of relatives and not to be confused in the clouds, in this chapter, I will first talk about the general development of history at that time, and then carefully state the bumpy fate of Yuxi.
When the kings of the Western Jin Dynasty were busy with internal strife, the Hu forces in the territory gradually became stronger. In the last year of the Jin Hui Emperor, they rebelled vigorously, got rid of the rule of the Western Jin Dynasty, and eventually destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, and then fought each other, known in history as the "Five Hu Chaohua". The so-called Wuhu mainly refers to the five more powerful tribes among the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xianbei, Qiang, and other ethnic minorities. From the time when Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu became king in 304 AD to the unification of the north by the Northern Wei Dynasty in 439 AD, in the period of one hundred and thirty-six years, the Wuhu (including the Han people) successively established more than a dozen states in northern China, confronting the traditional Han regime in the south, known in history as the "Sixteen Kingdoms".

The establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also to mention roughly, in the winter of 317 AD, the Western Jin Emperor was killed, and in March of the following year, Sima Rui, the king of Langya who guarded Jianye (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu), took the throne as Emperor Yuan of Jin. Since then, the Jin Dynasty has been partial to the south and confronted the state established by the Hu people in the north. Later generations called the Jin Dynasty room from Emperor Wu of Jin to Emperor Huan of Jin for a period of time as the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty Emperor and later the Jin Dynasty as the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Back to the point, we continue to travel with the Chuanguo Jade Seal!
In 308, Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu who first rebelled against the Western Jin Dynasty, declared himself emperor, established "Zhao", and moved the capital to Pingyang (平陽, in modern Linfen, Shanxi). The following year, Liu Yuan sent his son Liu Cong to attack Luoyang, but failed. Liu Yuan's generals Shi Le, Wang Mi, and others were killed on a large scale, and ran rampant in Jizhou, Qingzhou, Sizhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and other places, and the Jin Dynasty had lost control of them.
In 310, Liu Yuan died and was succeeded by his son Liu He, but was soon killed by Liu Cong, who established himself as emperor. At this time, the Kwantung region was basically occupied by the Xiongnu, and Luoyang was in danger. In 311 AD, Shi Le led an army and the Western Jin army to a major battle at Ku County (present-day Luyidong, Henan), eliminating more than 100,000 Jin troops, and after this battle, the western Jin military armament was basically lost, and could only be slaughtered. Liu Cong took the opportunity to send an army to attack Luoyang, the Luoyang defenders were not Liu Cong's opponents at all, and after a little resistance, it was over, Liu Cong attacked Luoyang, captured Sima Chi, the emperor of Jinhuai, and passed the national jade seal to Liu Cong.
Subsequently, the Zhao state was plagued by internal disasters. In the end, only two more powerful forces remained: Shi Le and Liu Yao. Shi Le was a member of the Qi people, and his talent was rough and cunning, and he originally followed Liu Yuangan, and then set up his own portal, using the Han Zhang Bin as a counselor, and became more and more powerful. Liu Yao was a descendant of Liu Yuan, and after Liu Cong's death, he declared himself emperor in Chang'an and conquered a large amount of land. In 328, Shi Le and Liu Yao fought a decisive battle west of Luoyang City, but Liu Yao was defeated and killed by Shi Le. Later, Shi Le sent Shi Sheng to capture Chang'an (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi) and Shi Hu to capture Shangyi (上邽, southwest of present-day Tianshui, Gansu). In 330 AD, Shi Le was called emperor, and the name of the country was still Zhao, and the history was called "Later Zhao". The Chuanguo Jade Seal belonged to Shi Le, and he carried out a riot operation: the four characters "Destiny Stone Clan" were engraved on the right side of the jade seal.

In 333 AD, Shi was strangled to death. After that, after that, the chaos in Zhao's country also fell out, and the emperor did not have a good death, either killed by his brothers or killed by the generals, which was very miserable. In 350, Emperor Shi Jianmi murdered the general Ran Min (a Han Chinese who was adopted by Shi Hu and renamed Shi Min, claiming that the empress changed back to her original name), and was killed instead. Ran Min then proclaimed himself emperor, with the state name Wei, and the capital of Yicheng (邺城, in modern Zhangxi, Henan), and the imperial seal of the country was attributed to Ran Wei.
Ran Min was not happy for a few days, but he encountered a fierce enemy, which was the Xianbei Murong Clan. After several generations of painstaking management, the Murong clan gradually owned a vast territory in Liaodong and Kanto. In 352, the Xianbei chief Murong Jun sent his son Murong Ke (慕容恪) to attack Ran Min, and the two armies fought a decisive battle at Weichang (魏昌, in present-day northeast of Wuji, Hebei), where Ran Min was defeated and captured and later killed. Ran Min's son Ran Zhi (冉智) defended the city of Yecheng and secretly sent people to the Eastern Jin Dynasty for help, hoping that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would send troops to attack Murong Ke to relieve the danger of the city.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty took the opportunity to blackmail Ran Zhi, saying that he would only send troops if he got the Chuanguo Jade Seal. Ran Zhi was already in danger and had no choice but to hand over the Chuanguo Jade Seal to the contact of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who immediately used 300 elite horses to travel thousands of miles day and night, sending the Jade Seal to Jiankang. At this point, the Chuanguo Jade Seal returned to the Sima clan of the Jin Dynasty. The Sima clan, who had regained the jade seal, reneged on his promise and did not send troops to aid Ran Zhi in the end, and sat back and watched his demise.
Chao Qin Twilight Chu Cat: The history of feudalism in China is the history of the family world, which has been predestined since Xia Yu was located in the time of his son Qi. However, in the world of artifacts, if the virtuous live there, the people live in peace and contentment; if the immorals occupy them, the people are displaced. Chasing deer in the Central Plains, you conquered me and fulfilled the wishes of the ambitious, and it is the common people who suffer, good and good!
