Chapter 887: The Rebellion of the Eight Kings! The Ancients Were Numb

A new curtain begins to play.

The UP host in the picture, holding a teaching stick, began to give instructions in front of the big screen behind him.

While pointing, he began to narrate:
Today we will talk about the Western Jin Dynasty.

[Everyone knows that this dynasty has been a minefield since its founding. ]

[Internally, the mess left by Cao Wei has not been cleaned up yet, the aristocratic families are all arrogant, and the children of poor families have no place to seek justice. ]

[The situation outside was even worse. The Five Barbarians (Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang) were squatting at the door like a group of hungry wolves, waiting for an opportunity to rush in and eat.]

[The famous historian Lu Simian once complained in "A General History of China":]

[Even if this situation was handed over to a powerful person like the Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, they would be scratching their heads, not to mention that the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, was only mediocre in ability.]

[This guy's ability is at most average.]

【Is he capable of handling the problems of the Western Jin Dynasty? 】

[I don’t have the ability to know! ]

[Of course, Sima Yan also wanted to do a good job in the beginning, such as rectifying the administration of officials, strengthening central supervision, and promoting children from poor families. ]

[The policies are being thrown out one after another, and they seem to be quite reasonable. 】

【But this guy’s biggest problem is that he only gets excited after three minutes. 】

[A typical example of a fierce start, followed by a stupid performance in the middle. ]

[No matter how good the policy is, if it is implemented for three days and then stopped for two days, what good will it do? ]

[In the early stage, he pretended to be diligent, but after destroying Sun Wu and unifying the country, his true nature was exposed.]

[I’m going to stop pretending and show my cards now. 】

[Not only did he take over the territory of Eastern Wu, he also took in all of Sun Hao's concubines. ]

[They even held beauty pageants in the homes of ministers and high officials with great fanfare.]

[With this, his harem was stuffed with tens of thousands of people, which was one of the largest harems in history.]

[Sima Yan saw that there were too many concubines in the harem and it was difficult to choose. ]

[Every day he would ride in a sheep cart and stroll around the harem, favoring whoever the cart stopped.]

[In order to win favor, concubines would insert bamboo leaves on their doors and sprinkle salt water on the ground, just to make the sheep stop at their doors.]

[The founding emperor was obsessed with his harem every day, so how could he care about state affairs? ]

【When Sima Yan died, the successor, Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Zhong, was even more of a heavyweight. 】

[Yes, he is the emperor who said "Why not eat meat?" ]

[With this guy's IQ, it's a miracle that he can distinguish between grains, let alone govern a country. ]

[At that time, the situation in the Western Jin Dynasty was that there were princes with military power outside and the ambitious Queen Jia Nanfeng inside. ]

[Sima Zhong's IQ level is not enough to control the situation. ]

【The imperial power naturally fell into the hands of others.】

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng saw this, even though he was always a serious person,

I couldn't hold it in either.

"No wonder everyone says that the Jin Dynasty was bad. I also know that the Jin Dynasty was bad."

"But I didn't expect it to be this bad?"

"It's okay that the founding emperor was obsessed with women and didn't pay enough attention to state affairs."

"But the second generation just replaced it with a fool?"

"Can a fool be the emperor?

But as he was talking, Ying Zheng suddenly lost his joy.

"It's not good to have a fool emperor."

"But if we look at the course of history... our Great Qin."

"Could it be that Hu Hai back then was even worse than a fool?"

……

The sky curtain also continues.

[Sima Zhong had just come to power, and the Queen Mother's father Yang Jun was in control of the government.]

【But Empress Jia Nanfeng is not an easy person to deal with. 】

【Joined forces with King of Chu Sima Wei to deal with Yang Jun. 】

【Then King Sima Liang of Runan entered the court and became the Prime Minister. 】

[As a result, Jia Nanfeng turned around and destroyed the bridge after crossing it, killing Sima Liang and Sima Wei, and also forcing the Queen Mother to death.]

[Even the crown prince Sima Yi, Sima Yan's beloved grandson, was killed because he was not her biological son.]

[This series of operations directly completed the five kills. ]

【Jia Nanfeng was a powerful figure in the political arena of the Western Jin Dynasty. 】

【But Jia Nanfeng didn’t stay arrogant for long. 】

【King Zhao Sima Lun jumped out and ended her killing streak.】

[But Sima Lun was not satisfied with controlling the government.]

[He also proclaimed himself emperor and honored Emperor Hui of Jin as the Supreme Emperor.]

[This stirred up a hornet's nest, and King Sima Jiong of Qi, King Sima Ying of Chengdu, and King Sima Yong of Hejian formed a team to attack. ]

【Kill Sima Lun and restore Emperor Hui of Jin to the throne. 】

【Then King Sima Jue of Qi began to rule dictatorship again. 】【Then the vassal kings took turns to fight each other. 】

[Sima Yong, the King of Hejian, first joined forces with Sima Yi, the King of Changsha, to kill Sima Jiong, the King of Qi. ]

[He also joined forces with Chengdu King Sima Ying to kill Sima Yi.]

【Finally, Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, joined the game and united the armies of Youzhou and Bingzhou to defeat the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu.】

[After much trouble, Emperor Hui of Jin suddenly died, and his younger brother Sima Chi took over and became Emperor Huai of Jin.]

【Sima Yue became the winner of the chicken game. 】

[But looking around, have we really won? ]

[At least Sima Yue himself died of anxiety while holding great power.]

[Look at the world, this great fight of the Sima family has lasted for sixteen years. ]

【It is called the Rebellion of the Eight Princes in history.】

[The kings fought for power and completely drained the country's wealth. ]

[Just when the Sima clan was fighting fiercely. ]

【The Five Barbarians have already begun. 】

[Li Xiong, a member of the Di tribe, brought refugees with him, proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, and established the Cheng Kingdom.]

[The Xiongnu were previously divided into five tribes by Cao Cao, and the leaders of each tribe were detained in Yecheng for monitoring.]

[When Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, started his army, Liu Yuan, the leader of the left army, told Sima Ying, the King of Chengdu, that he would unite the armies of the five Xiongnu tribes to help him as long as he was allowed to go back.]

【So Liu Yuan was released.】

[After returning, he declared himself King of Han, and was known in history as Han Zhao.]

[In fact, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, borrowing the Hu army to quell civil unrest has become an old tradition. ]

【During the Eight Princes Rebellion, it became even worse.】

[The Western Jin Dynasty had almost exhausted its internal strife, and the Hu people's army took the opportunity to rise up, and countless warlords were established in various places. ]

[The curtain was raised on the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. ]

【Looking at the Western Jin Dynasty from its founding to its demise. 】

[The founding emperor has no moral integrity, his son is stupid and stupid, the empress is ruthless and messes up government affairs, and the princes fight among themselves without any bottom line.]

[In the end, when their own army was wiped out, they took the Hu people as foreign aid, but ended up playing with fire and getting burned.]

[All I can say is that if a dynasty is full of evil from top to bottom, its demise is inevitable.]

[However, the Western Jin Dynasty not only destroyed itself, but also plunged the Central Plains into turmoil for a hundred years.]

[Perhaps this is why the Western Jin Dynasty has always been ranked last in the popularity rankings of all dynasties. ]

The sky screen video ends here.

The guys in the barrage were complaining one after another.

"My goodness, the northwest of Shanxi is in a mess."

"It's so messy that I'm confused."

"Is Sima Yan still okay?"

"Better than an ordinary emperor, but still far from a wise ruler."

"In fact, Sima Zhong is also miserable. Roumi Ge is not intentionally bad. He is really mentally handicapped."

"Sima Zhong is at least the emperor who personally led the most military campaigns! There is no doubt about this. "

"Not only did he lead the army in person, he also personally fought on the front lines, right?"

"All of Sima Yan's good policies were short-lived, and they were all cancelled after his death."

"Cao Cao also did not solve the problem of foreign tribes. A large number of nomads were in the northern Central Plains under his rule."

"It's a pity for Sima Yi, the only good man among the eight kings."

"Sima Yi was not a good man. He exterminated all three clans of the King of Qi's 2,000 men. He was extremely cruel."

"If Sima Ying listened to Lu Zhi, he would win everywhere. If he didn't listen to Lu Zhi, he would be defeated and killed."

"Sima Yan promoted Sima Zhong to be the successor because he wanted to pass the throne to Sima Yi. It is said that he looked and acted a lot like Sima Yi, but unfortunately he was killed by Jia Nanfeng."

"To put it bluntly, it was Sima Yi who started the idea that any clan member could seize power and become emperor."

"A familiar taste, indeed, with a long history, you can easily find lessons learned. "

"Hu people mercenaries, Rome next door expressed understanding. "

"Ah, it's painful to watch. What follows is the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, one of the darkest eras in Chinese history."

"Isn't it absurd and wonderful that everyone can sit at the table?"

……

And the ancient people outside the sky saw this content.

Naturally, it is either regret or speechlessness.

And in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Jia Nanfeng saw the story about the Eight Kings Rebellion on the sky screen, and her role was fully played.

I was extremely scared.

Seeing the unfriendly looks from the court officials, Jia Nanfeng roared:
"What are you doing! This is the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, not the world that I messed up."

"It's all because the princes hold the military power and have too much power!"

"Your Majesty, I just said that we should centralize power. Your Majesty, please say something, Your Majesty!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Jia Nanfeng hugged Sima Zhong and burst into tears in the court. For a moment, the court of the Western Jin Dynasty was in chaos as if it were a child's play. (End of this chapter)
