(Emperor Sima Yan of Jinwu)
Sima Yan was a strange man.
Strange, it is not necessarily born with a different phase, thunder and lightning, red light in the sky, nor is it necessarily born smart, Apostrophode, ten minutes can open a hundred squares.
To say that he is strange is very simple, that is, the appearance is strange.
Hands over knees. - Book of Jin
Comrade Sima Yan's hair is unusually long, and when he stands, his hair can hang to the ground.
Such a thick hair volume, placed today, will definitely be competed for by the endorsement of major shampoo advertisements.
Just because the hair is long, the so-called three thousand troublesome silks on the top of the head, a cut to the sorrow, as long as you are willing to take care of it, often trim, it does not matter.
But Sima Yan not only had long hair, but also his arms were also long, standing straight, and his hands could touch his knees.
What are the benefits of arm length? It seems that there is no benefit, but if you think about it, it is still a little useful, what is the use?
Far away from people, you can take advantage of people's lack of preparation and fan the big ears melon seeds.
The hair is very long, the arms are very long, and if you think carefully, Sima Yan should not be too good-looking, at least it is not related to handsomeness.
But fortunately, in the feudal era, no matter what occasion and what environment, everyone rarely looked at their faces.
For Sima Yan himself, it doesn't matter what he looks like, he has the power to get it.
Is Comrade Sima Yan powerful?
Yes, and quite so.
His grandfather was Sima Yi, the "Standby King of the Three Kingdoms", and his father was Sima Zhao, Cao Wei's number one power minister.
(Sima Zhao)
Yes, it is the Sima Zhao who "the heart of Sima Zhao, known to passers-by".
But as a son, it is clear that he does not know enough about his father.
Even for the entire Sima family, Sima Yan did not have much impression, of course, he was lazy to understand.
He only knew that the Sima family had been workers of the Cao Wei Dynasty for generations, and now that they had worked hard enough, they planned to fire the boss and go it alone.
Grandpa Sima Yi once wanted to work alone, but he was too old, and he had more than enough and lacked strength.
Uncle Sima Shi wanted to work alone, but his physical condition was not very good, and he suffered a very serious eye disease and died within two days.
Of course, his father Sima Zhao also wanted to do it alone, which was something that the whole world knew, and everyone knew it, but his father's body was obviously not enough to support his dream.
When he was only one step away from the throne, he suddenly fell ill and returned to heaven.
Being an emperor is really mysterious, it is different from most things in this world.
When it comes to being an emperor, opportunities are never left to those who are prepared, and opportunities are reserved only to those who are fortunate.
Is Sima Yan the one who is related?
Let's wait and see.
Now that my father is dead, although he has not left himself any glory and wealth, and passed down treasures to the world, he has created a wonderful environment for himself.
What environment?
The environment in which he ascended the throne.
The Cao Wei Dynasty did not last long, and there were not many emperors.
(Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao)
Emperor Cao Cao of Wei was a pillar of Emperor Cao Wei's ranks, but unfortunately, Comrade Cao Cao's throne was posthumously.
Emperor Cao Pi of Wei was very clever and strategic, but it was also a pity that he was not good at what he was, and he took a bento box within a few years of being emperor.
Emperor Cao Rui of Wei, a martial artist of Wenzhi, was quite good, but he was frivolous and embarrassing.
Although these three emperors have their own advantages and disadvantages, they cannot be called the rulers of the world, but at least during their reign, they all suppressed the Sima family to death.
However, after the two emperors Cao Fang and Cao Xi, the situation was not very optimistic.
The Sima family wielded power, and the emperor was completely overthrown.
Comrade Cao Fang wanted to launch a mutiny, but as a result, he was first beaten to the ground by the Sima family, not only failed to clear the huanyu and regain his sovereignty, but was also deposed by the Sima family.
Of course, Comrade Cao Xian was not willing to be subordinated, but the form was more simple and rude than Cao Fang, and this benevolent brother, one man and one sword and one horse, actually directly fought with the Sima family.
The results are certainly predictable.
The emperor was brave, and the end was tragic.
Cao Huan was dismembered by a random knife, and the emperor fell on the body of The Wei Yuan Emperor Cao Huan.
By the time Cao Huan ascended the throne, the Sima family was already at the center of power throughout the dynasty.
(Emperor Yuan of Wei, Cao Yan)
Sima Yi and Sima Shi had already passed away, and Sima Zhao, who was just about to ascend the throne, fell ill and died on his sickbed.
The three leaders of the Sima family seem to have the same fate.
The throne is within reach for them, just a stone's throw away, but for them it is far away and out of reach.
His father Sima Zhao died, and Sima Yan was a little confused.
The whole world understood his father's mind, but his son didn't understand it very well.
He really couldn't imagine that his father would actually say that it was gone.
Originally, his best plan was to become a prince after his father ascended the throne and became emperor, but now the throne was about to come out and beckoned to him.
Lucky, really lucky.
His ancestors, his fathers, in order to ascend to the throne, painstakingly and painstakingly arranged, and spent a lot of painstaking efforts, but now Sima Yan picked up a foreign fall.
Since it is given in white, it is not appropriate to be white!
Throne, here I come!
In the second year of Xianxi, in 266 AD, Sima Yan forced the Wei Yuan emperor Cao Huanchan to ascend the throne, the Wei Dynasty collapsed, and the Western Jin Dynasty was established.
Sima Yan was not at all flustered or guilty of usurping Wei Jianjin.
We know that when the emperor is a beautiful bad, it is a good thing, but usurpation is a technical job, usurpation of the good can steal the day, silent, usurped is not good, then it is easy to be talked about by the people, thousands of people point out.
At that time, the Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi usurped the Han, and the world was full of scolding, because after all, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties added up to four hundred years, and the common people had feelings for the Han Dynasty, and Leng Buding changed a dynasty and a leader, and it was inevitable that he would not adapt.
(Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi)
Cao Pi's pressure at that time was really great, and the Han court ministers scolded, the common people scolded, and the Three Kingdoms V Zhuge Liang scolded even more fiercely.
However, Sima Yan usurped Wei, but he usurped a generous way.
On the day of his ascension to the throne, the gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers were fired in unison, the red flag was unfurled, and the crowds were crowded, and the scene was quite large, for fear that others would not know.
The reason is very simple, people are not cold to the demise of the Wei Dynasty, most people will only leave two words of evaluation:
retribution.
At that time, Cao Pi forced the Han Emperor Liu Xie to abdicate, and now Sima Yan forced the Wei Yuan Emperor Cao Huan to abdicate.
Everyone is a thief, so what else can't be let go?
Sima Yan was very open, and he sat on the throne and began to create his own legendary life.
The founding emperors of successive dynasties have basically been Wen Tao Wu Strategy, the heroes of Wen Zhi Wu Gong.
Farther away, Han Gaozu's ancestor Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Rebellion, and the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu could be called the son of Heavenly Choice.
Closer to the past, Cao Mengdexiong is a great talent, Liu Huang's uncle is only virtuous, and Sun Zhongmou is young and promising.
Later, there are also Emperors such as Tang Gaozu, Song Taizu, Yuan Shizu, Ming Taizu, etc., Sima Yan does not know, so we will not repeat it.
I would like to say that as a founding emperor, it seems to be a shame if there is no bright performance during the reign.
Not only is it humiliating, as a pioneer, if you have nothing to achieve, how can you set an example for future generations?
If you can't set an example and work upwards and downwards, won't you be more than a nest from generation to generation?
So, to be honest, did Comrade Sima Yan do anything?
Yes.
Introducing the achievements of the emperor will inevitably lead to some obscure historical endorsements, and these contents, relatively speaking, are very boring.
It's hard to get anyone interested in these content other than professional history learners.
So I prefer to tell everyone in a funny, simple, but very rigorous way what Sima Yan has done.
(Founding of the Western Jin Dynasty)
The first is the political aspect.
When Comrade Sima Yan first ascended the throne, he was very industrious, adding, deleting, and changing various systems in large numbers, which involved cultural, political, military, people's livelihood, and other aspects, but unfortunately, the results were not remarkable.
The biggest reason for the poor results is that Comrade Sima Yan's various systems are basically based on the existing achievements since the Han Dynasty, saying that they have been deleted and revised, rather than standing still.
Not innovating, eating the old, this is very worthy of criticism.
If you keep imitating, it will be difficult to surpass.
Then there's the military side.
If he fought a war, Sima Yan was very successful.
His father Sima Zhao destroyed the Shu state, and he destroyed Eastern Wu, which was across the river.
The annihilation of Wu was almost the greatest achievement of Comrade Sima Yan's life.
But these achievements were not because Sima Yan was very strong, but because Sun Hao, the emperor of Eastern Wu at that time, was too weak.
Resist Wu anyone can do, you on you also three to zero.
(Sun Hao, the last emperor of Eastern Wu)
Although the emperor was mediocre, after all, he struggled for the throne with the original intention of doing good things, so he quickly created the first prosperous era of the Western Jin Dynasty - the Taikang Dynasty.
The four seas are rising, the people are stable, economic development, scientific and technological progress, agricultural harvest, and culture are popular.
The golden age is coming.
After so many years of war in the Three Kingdoms, you beat me, I hit you, you gave me a kick, I gave you a punch, and now the whole country is finally unified, and the people have finally begun to live a good life.
Very good, it is the time to continue to work hard and create brilliant again.
But apparently, Sima Yan, who had created the prosperous world, said that I was tired and I needed to rest.
I don't go to class, I don't care about work, I have created a prosperous world, and you still want me to work overtime?
That's impossible.
I want to relax, I want to rest.
Where to rest?
harem.
When Emperor Duo was favored, after Ping Wu, the number of people in the Sun Palace was thousands. - Book of Jin
Sima Yan, emperor of the Jin Dynasty, had a particularly large number of concubines.
Yes, not a lot, very much, very much.
In the era of feudal imperialism, the emperor was the honor of all multiplications and the master of the world, and it seemed beyond reproach to marry two more daughters-in-law.
Generally speaking, the three palaces and six courtyards, thousands of beautiful women, can also be understood.
But thousands is only a small meaning for Sima Yan.
The emperor had nearly ten thousand concubines.
Yes, you haven't seen it, nearly ten thousand.
It is really difficult for us to understand why Emperor Wu of Jin wanted to beg so many wives.
If I had to say a reason, it would be a sentence:
Human desire is truly never-ending.
With more concubines, it became a big problem for the emperor to sleep with every night.
The random flowers are becoming more and more charming to the eyes, more than ten thousand concubines, one by one, not very realistic.
The Emperor came up with a creative solution.
Every night he personally drove a sheep cart around the harem, and wherever the sheep stopped, he would spend the night in whose bedchamber.
Very casual and fair.
The emperor has a policy, and the concubines have a countermeasure.
Some clever concubines sprinkled salt on the ground and planted some tender grass on the lintel, so that the sheep who liked salt banen grass would stop at the door of their own palaces—the idiom "sheep cart looking good luck" came from.
(SheepChe Wangxing)
The emperor believed that the prosperous world was eternal, and as long as he lived, the prosperous world would always follow him.
But he did not know that the prosperity of that time may be just a coincidence, and if he did not seize the opportunity and continue to work hard, the country would soon go downhill.
The emperor worked hard in the first half of his life, and although his achievements were not too great, they were also remarkable.
But the second half of the emperor's life was slack in government affairs, absurd, and properly dim-witted.
The founding of the country was the first time in China's history that it was the emperor.
Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu, spent his own life in the harem where the sheep cart patrolled.
In the first year of Taixi, Sima Yan died of illness at the age of 55.
Many years ago, he did not understand and had great ambitions, but he was chosen by fate to become the king of the Western Jin Empire.
In this life, he has played various roles, such as sons, thieves, emperors, founding emperors, promising kings, and faint lords.
And now, he is old and sick, and there are no lofty ambitions and ambitions that can be inherited to future generations.
The only thing left for future generations is the old goat that paces slowly and eats the grass.
