214 Yang 珧 (yáo) who died in her niece

In view of the well-known reasons, crossing the Feng Zhen (dǎ

)。

Then, it's time for Yang Jue.

Yang Jue, whose name is Wenju, is a native of Hongnong Huayin (now Huayin City, Shaanxi). Minister of Foreign Relatives of the Western Jin Dynasty, great-grandson of Yang Zhen, Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and brother of Taifu Yang Jun.

Born in Hongnong Yang's family, he has a long reputation in the dynasty, and his brothers Yang Jun and Yang Ji are all over the world, and they are known as "Three Yangs" at the time.

Yang Yao, a Yang Yao, was deeply favored by Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, and was appointed as Shang Shuling and the general of the guard. In the second year of Xianning, Yang Jun's daughter and niece Yang Zhi became the queen, "Wan 嫕 (yì) has women's virtue, beautiful pepper room", favored by Emperor Wu of Jin.

The elder brother Yang Jun has a high position, which makes Yang Jun see that the power is unacceptable. As a result, he earnestly proposed to resign many times, but Emperor Wu of Jin never agreed.

Yang Jue put a table on the emperor and said, "Throughout the ancient and modern times, all the two of the latter, if they are not preserved, will suffer the disaster of the destruction of the clan, and ask that my watch seal be stored in the temple." If what I say is confirmed, I will be spared. ”

Sima Yan's first queen was called Yang Yan, in 274, when Empress Yang Yan of Wuyuan was critically ill, Hu Guifei was favored, the prince was stupid, Yang Yan was afraid that after his death, Hu Guifei would enter the throne, which was not good for the prince, so he cried and begged Emperor Wu of Jin to set up his cousin Yang Zhi after his death, and Emperor Wu of Jin agreed to leave satisfied. As a result, Yang Zhi became Sima Yan's second queen.

——This is what Yang Jue said about "one family and two queens".

Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty adopted his opinion.

Zhao Xiu, the governor of the right army, wrote and said, "Wang Mang is the fifth duke, and brothers treat each other. Today, the three princes of the Yang family, and in the big position, and the sky changes, I secretly take advantage of you. ”

As a result, Yang Jue was even more frightened and resolutely asked to resign, and Emperor Wu of Jin agreed, giving him one million dollars and five thousand horses of silk.

…… ……

In the fourth year of Xianning (278 AD), Ma Long sought to pacify Qin Liang, and the court proposed to reward the soldiers of the Western Expedition, but some people obstructed it. Yang Jinjin retorted, "In the past, Ma Long chose to be brave and add a little knighthood, but for the sake of encouragement. Now that Ma Long has leveled the western soil and does not give rewards, how will the court use people in the future? ”

Emperor Wu of Jin thought so and rewarded the soldiers of the Western Expedition.

…… ……

Since then, Yang Jue has retreated everywhere.

However, in the face of power, no one can not tremble. Soon, Yang Jue began to make friends with the party, and tried his best to plot to make Sima You, the king of Qi, return to the feudal state, resulting in Yang Xiu of the Central Protector Army and Hou Cheng Cang (CA) of the Northern Army

Murdered Yang Jue to death.

After Yang Jue found out, he asked for leave to avoid trouble on the grounds of illness, and used ingenious methods to let Yousi play the emperor, and successfully escaped.

…… ……

Emperor Wu of Jin died, and Emperor Hui of Jin succeeded to the throne, with Jia Nanfeng as the queen.

When Yang Yan was alive, Sima Yan appointed her eldest son Sima Zhen as the crown prince according to her wishes, and selected Jia Nanfeng, the daughter of the lord Jia Chong, as the crown princess.

Jia Nanfeng was not only extremely ugly, but also jealous by nature, and even killed the palace maid who was pregnant with Sima Zhen's child with his own hands.

When Sima Yan heard this, he was furious and wanted to send Jia Nanfeng into the cold palace and choose a virtuous woman as the crown princess.

However, Empress Yang Zhi entrusted her cousin with the crown prince and the crown princess before her death, so she strongly persuaded Sima Yan and said, "Jia Chong has a Xun Sheji, and he is still a few generations of concubines, and Concubine Jia is his daughter, and she is jealous, which is not enough for a glance."

g) Cover up their virtues. ”

Sima Yan suppressed the matter at this time.

After that, Yang Zhi often sternly admonished Jia Nanfeng, asking her to repent.

However, Jia Nanfeng decided that Sima Yan wanted to abolish her, and it was all Yang Zhi's intention. Therefore, he is very resentful of Yang Zhi

She didn't know that Yang Zhi had tried her best to rescue her, but she thought that she had slandered her to Sima Yan, so she was extremely resentful of Yang Zhi.

After Emperor Hui of Jin succeeded to the throne, Empress Jia did not treat Yang Zhi with respect and courtesy, but planned to participate in political affairs, but was obstructed by Yang Jun, the Taifu who was a relative.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Yang found an opportunity to meet Yang Zhi, a cousin of the Empress Dowager, and told her about his concerns. Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, don't worry, am I still the queen mother?" She didn't dare to do anything to our Yang family. ”

…… ……

However, in the following year, Jia Nanfeng colluded with Meng Guan, Li Zhao, and Dong Meng, the temple supervisor, to plot to kill Yang Jun and depose the empress dowager Yang Zhi, and secretly sent Li Zhao to contact Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and Sima Wei, the king of Chu, and asked them to lead troops to defeat Yang Jun. Sima Wei, the king of Chu, agreed, and asked to join the court. Yang Jun didn't dare to stop it.

After Sima Wei entered the court, Meng Guan and Li Zhao instructed Sima Zhen to issue an edict, falsely accusing Yang Jun of rebellion, and sent Ma Yu (繇yao) of the Dong'an County Company to lead 400 people to crusade against Yang Jun, and ordered Sima Wei to be stationed in Sima Gate.

Yang Jun was the first to be killed in the palace, and then he captured the Wei general Yang Jue, the crown prince Yang Ji, and so on.

Meng Guan received Empress Jia's secret decree and killed Yang Jue.

Yang Jue was about to be executed, shouted injustice, and said, "Emperor Wu of Jin agreed to exempt me from the calamity, you can ask Zhang Hua." ”

At that time, the ministers pleaded one after another, hoping to handle it according to the promise of Emperor Wu of Jin. The Jiahou clan regarded the Yang brothers as chóu and ordered their executioners to kill them.

At that time, there was no one who did not sympathize with Yang Jue.

…… ……

As a prophetic character who foresaw the fall of the Yang family, Yang Yao passively waited for the mercy of the victorious side of the political struggle, and eventually died as a result. So, if he is given a chance to change his behavior in history, what can he do in advance to survive and even become the victorious side in the political struggle?

There may be three paths in front of him.

First: To be an emperor?

Yang Jue was born in a family, and the name of Hongnong Yang's family is sometimes very easy to use. His brother Yang Jun's daughter Yang Zhi was the second empress of Emperor Wu of Jin, and Yang Jun, as the reign of the emperor, was in a high position and was also favored by Emperor Wu of Jin. In 290 AD, Emperor Wu of Jin was seriously ill, and Yang Jun put him under house arrest in Hanzhang Palace, and all the guards were Yang family henchmen. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty issued an edict to let Sima Liang and him jointly assist him, and he changed the edict to proclaim himself a long list of official positions such as Taiwei and Prince Taifu.

Yang Jue himself was deeply favored by Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, and served as Shang Shuling and General Wei. The younger brother Yang Ji successively served as the general of the Zhennan Expedition to the North, moved the prince and the prince, and held heavy troops.

Sanyang has a prominent background, has the trust of the emperor, and has a queen in the harem, and has military power in his hands, is it difficult to be an emperor?

Difficult.

Not to mention that the Hu people are eyeing the north of the country, just the princes of the Sima family, with the heavy soldiers in their hands, can wipe out the three Yangs. Even if he appeases the Sima kings, what will the family do?

In that era of both background and power, who can obey whom? Although after Sima Yan's death, he was succeeded by an idiot emperor, but everyone thought this was orthodox, no matter how arrogant Jia Nanfeng was, and the kings fought indiscriminately, the emperor still had to be surnamed Sima.

Yang Jue wants to ensure that he is the emperor of his family, in addition to being obedient to his arrogant and talentless brother, it is also difficult to convince the public, so he can't be the emperor.

Second: Be a powerful minister?

Although Yang Jun is favored by the emperor, everyone with a discerning eye knows that he is too much. Yang Jun is so arrogant that he can't see his weaknesses clearly, don't say much else, look at the long list of official positions he has added to himself, which one is not a good position that people covet? But Yang Jun put it on himself, and he was not tired.

What's more, just in the era of Emperor Wu, the Yang family produced three minister-level figures, and there were two queens before and after, which was much more terrifying than the original Wang Mang family. Similar to this kind of honor, since ancient times, there has been no immortal clan, Yang Jun is looking for death with such fanfare.

His family has already produced a powerful minister, and he continues? His brother has already done everything to the end, and he's going to turn it around, is it okay? First of all, he has to kill his brother, which is to lower his character and become ruthless and unrighteous.

Secondly, he has to win over the big families on the one hand, promising heavy profits, and on the other hand, he has to prevent them from expanding their power, which is really difficult to grasp. At the same time, in the harem, Yang Zhi actually can't fight Jia Nanfeng, he still has to maintain reconciliation with Jia Nanfeng, and he doesn't let the courtiers say anything, and he has to win over the Jia family to curry favor with Jia Nanfeng.

On the one hand, he sang the opposite tune of Jia Nanfeng with the family, and on the other hand, he went to curry favor with the Jia family, and he felt tired and panicked when he thought about it.

Therefore, it is impossible to be a powerful minister who pleases from all sides.

Yang Jue also knew, so he asked for relief and resignation, and Emperor Wu of Jin granted him a card to avoid death and gave him a million rewards and 5,000 silks. He ran away for the time being.

Re-read the file and try it again.,I guess it's still like this.。

Third: live in seclusion in Jiangdong and never ask about the world?

Soon after Emperor Hui of Jin ascended the throne, Jia Nanfeng killed the prince and killed the courtiers, which led to the rebellion of the eight kings. As a former queen family and a powerful minister's family, can the Yang family avoid disaster?

You don't see, scattered into mud, in addition to the people, there are also families, and the royal family, and there are very few who survived. With Yang Yao's emotional intelligence of participating in state affairs after his resignation, even if he is in seclusion, it is estimated that he will jump out. In this way, seclusion is not realistic, of course, compared to the first two, it is still possible.

It's just that the general trend of history is like this, and whether he can survive or not depends on the opportunity to reshuffle the cards.
