After pacifying Wu and Shu, for the sake of long-term peace and stability, what we should worry about should not be the secret troubles (rebellion) of the people, but the arbitrariness of the governors of the prefectures and counties.

At this time, good officials should be recruited to pacify the Quartet, so that the people who have experienced more than 100 years of turmoil can live with peace of mind, and then send a trustworthy minister to lead a good army to defend the key points, so that the potential instability can be suppressed and eliminated in the long run.

After Sima Yan pacified Wu, although on the surface, in order to prevent the recurrence of the secession of the states at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the state and county soldiers were abolished, but in fact, there were very few state and county soldiers who were canceled.

As a result, all states and counties have soldiers, and laying such a large stall certainly cannot guarantee that all soldiers are elite soldiers, let alone that their generals are trustworthy, so not only can they not quell the war, but will cause chaos.

After the pacification of Wu, of course, the people of Wu would rebel against the Jin Dynasty, among which there were rebellions of the descendants of the Sun family, which were endless.

There is a nursery rhyme in the south of the Yangtze River that says, "The meat of the bureau, the number of horizontal woods, China should be defeated by Wu Dangfu", and there is also a saying "The palace gate pillar, and when it is decayed, Wu Dangfu, after 30 years" and so on, it can be seen that Wu Di resisted the Jin family at that time.

Perhaps it was precisely because of these prospects, and the fact that the surname Wu was the loser after all, that the Sima clan ran to the south, established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and brought the stability of the imperial court, and then quoted a lot of overseas Chinese surnames (formerly northern clans) to suppress the Wu clan.

This made Zhou Xi and other Wu families dissatisfied and intended to rebel, but the leak failed, and Zhou Xi died of depression. His son Zhou Xian succeeded him, intending to rebel, but his uncle Zhou Za leaked his secret but failed.

The Later Jin Dynasty divided the Zhou and Shen Ers, causing them to collapse successively, and promoted the pro-Jin Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu Siclans.

However, due to the continuous invasion of the Jiangnan economy by the overseas Chinese and the suppression of the southern clans into the imperial court, the political and economic conflicts between the overseas Chinese and Wu clans continued. In addition, the clan discriminated against the Han clan and fought against the imperial court; The confrontation between the central government and Fangzhen and the rise of careerists made the Eastern Jin Dynasty always turbulent.

Because the threat of external invasions from the north was still there, the support of the Lai Shi clan and Fang Zhen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty stabilized the situation, which made many powerful clans attempt to rebel and seize power. At that time, Emperor Jin Yuan relied on Wang's family, and served as Wang Dao's prime minister and Wang Dun's dictatorship in the military, and he was called "the king and the horse, sharing the world".

Where did Wang Dao and Wang Dun come from?

The Wang family has the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family.

Taiyuan Wang in other dynasties do not know, in the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is not brilliant, the bear understands, only the previous talk about Huan Wen, and Xie An and others together against Huan Wen's Wang Tanzhi, and Langya Wang in the two Jin Dynasty and Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is more brilliant.

For example: Wang Xizhi of "East Bed Quick Son-in-law", his son Wang Xianzhi, as mentioned earlier, Wang Biaozhi who assisted the government with Xie An and Wang Tanzhi, as well as Wang Yan, Wang Dun, Wang Cheng, and Wang Dao mentioned below, all belong to the Langya Wang family.

Wang Yan, one of the three princes of the Western Jin Dynasty, Situ, during the "Eight Kings Rebellion", said to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, that "China has been in turmoil, and local officials should be relied upon", and then let his brother Wang Cheng serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, and Wang Dun as the assassin of Qingzhou, and said to the two of them, "Jingzhou has the Yangtze River, the Han River is strong, and Qingzhou has the steepness by the sea.

In the rebellion and turmoil of Chen Min and others, the two brothers Wang Dun and Wang Cheng can be said to have shown their skills, but the two of them are really unscrupulous.

"The Biography of Wang Cheng" cloud:

"The Liuren of Ba and Shu, scattered in Jing and Hunan, fought angrily with the locals, killed the county order, and gathered in Le Township, Wang Cheng sent Chengdu Neishi Wang Ji to crusade, the thief surrendered, Wang Cheng pretended to agree, and then attacked, the wife and children of the thief as a reward, and more than 8,000 people, sinking into the river, this move angered the Liuren, Yi and Liang Liuren had 40,000 or 50,000 people, all of them rebelled, and Du Tao was the main."

Wang Cheng was later jealous of Wang Dun, and Wang Dun ordered Lux to strangle Wang Cheng to death.

In these rebellions and rebellions, Wang Dun had frequent activities, and even plotted to frame loyal ministers and wise men such as Hua Yi and Liu Kun.

In Chinese history, there is no shortage of heroes who can sing and cry, and there is no shortage of ministers who are eager to break their bones and raise ashes......

I'm excited again, and the national scolding is about to break out, please allow the bear to go to the corner of the wall to tie the villain, calm and calm......

Wang Dun benefited from these chaos, saved a lot of merit for himself, and deliberately controlled the imperial court.

In order to suppress the power of the Wang family, Sima Rui, the emperor of the Jin Yuan Dynasty, contained Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan and others, and defended the Jingshi. Wang Dun was very resentful, and sent troops in 322 to capture Jiankang, Diao Xie and others were killed, known as Wang Dun's Rebellion.

Later Emperor Sima Shao of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne and ordered a crusade against Wang Dun, and lied that Wang Dun had died, so as to eliminate the fear of Wang Dun among the soldiers.

Wang Dun was furious after receiving the letter, and raised an army to attack health, but he died of illness that year, and was successfully quelled by Emperor Ming of Jin, and Wang Dun was also dissected and killed.

In history, Wang Dun is evaluated as a fool, cruel, tyrannical, and arrogant. The cruel and tyrannical dare to do injustice, and the arrogant and cruel refuse to be subordinate.

Lu Simian said that Wang Dun did not have the will to rebel, but because of his arrogant and ruthless habits, he could not be tolerated by the emperor, so between the monarchs and ministers, there was a dislike between the monarch and the minister, that is, there was a dislike of the dislike, Wang Dun was unwilling to compromise and seek perfection, and he could not retreat bravely, so he gradually drifted away, and it developed into the subsequent situation.

Maybe Wang Dun really didn't mean to rebel, but his desire to abolish Emperor Sima Shao of the Jin Ming Dynasty has shown that he has the intention of manipulating the imperial court. Maybe like Huan Wen, aggressive.

It's really hard to say, what didn't happen, I can only think about it.

However, compared with Huan Wen after him, Wang Dun is indeed much gentler, there is no aggressive momentum, or Emperor Jin Ming is domineering, and he does not dare to jump too much.

After quelling the "Wang Dun Rebellion", there was another rebellion of Sima Zong, the younger brother of Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, but the scale was small and the impact was small, and it was soon pacified. Sima Yi was dismissed.

In 327-328, the "Su Jun Rebellion" occurred.

At that time, Ji Gang was very decadent, Su Jun's army could be said to be a hundred responses, Sima Yi, who was dismissed, and Sima Xiu, the king of Zhangwu, all defected to him, as well as Li Huang, Zhang Jian, Zu Yue, Guo Mo, etc., or directly defected to Su Jun, or took advantage of Su Jun's army to rebel.

It can be seen that the imperial court has declined to the point that it can't suppress these people who hold military power.

There are also some generals, although they do not oppose it, but they also think more about their own interests, let them cooperate, but they also hesitate after thinking about it.

Just like during the Warring States Period, I had to think about whether the surrounding countries would attack, whether I would stab myself in the back, what benefits I could obtain, etc., and there was no longer the concept of "imperial court".

When the Sima clan is mixed to this point, will it also give birth to the sadness of the sect leader Zhou's room? My sect master is dying, but you girls only care about intrigue and power and profit!

Lu Simian believes that the sluggish state of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was due to the lazy and sloppy atmosphere at that time, and the reason for this atmosphere was that Wang Dao, the minister at that time, was the culprit.

However, the bear thinks that Sima Rui can't escape the involvement.

When he was in Luoyang, Sima Rui and Wang Dao were close friends, and they had close contacts, and Nandu was still Wang Dao's proposal, so that the two people would definitely have the same similarities before they would have close contacts, so the atmosphere was lazy and sloppy, and Wang Dao couldn't be blamed on one person.

After that, Sun Tai of the Langyu clan organized a mass uprising, but in 398, Sun Tai was executed, and his nephew Sun En fled to the sea.

Who is Sun En, there are two theories in the historical books, one says that he is after Sun Xiu, and the other says that he is Sun Xiu's family. So who is Sun Xiu? Let's not talk about his resume, it's troublesome, let's talk about the well-known "Green Bead Falling from the Tower". In the Western Jin Dynasty, Sun Xiu and Shi Chong robbed Shi Chong's favorite concubine Luzhu, and Luzhu committed suicide by jumping off the building, "Sun Xiu" is this Sun Xiu.

Sun En's run to the sea became the "beginning of the Central Plains pirates", providing experience for piracy in later generations and becoming synonymous with piracy!

Sun En's uncle Sun Tai worshipped Du Zigong in Qiantang as his teacher, or treated Du Zigong with a teacher's courtesy.

Who is Du Zigong? He is a Taoist priest in Qiantang, who believes in the "Five Buckets of Rice Dao", one of the Taoist sects, and seems to be a very prestigious person, who has seen many celebrities.
