Text Foolish dreams: Sima Lun is in power
A brief story about the fourth chapter: Sima Lun used Sun Xiu's strategy to kill Empress Jia and take charge of the Western Jin Dynasty, but her distant and virtuous people were close to her, and the court was in chaos.
This story mainly shows that the aristocratic landlord class represented by Sima Lun launched a counterattack against the scholar landlord class who controlled the government, and mastered the power of the Western Jin Dynasty, but Sima Lun as the person in power did not have the corresponding ability to govern. Sima Lun, who became the ruler from the position of vassal king, may also want to gain the support of the royal family, and we do not know what Sima Lun thinks, but the innate threat to the imperial power of the aristocratic landlord class is reflected in Sima Lun.
From Sima Lun's strategist Sun Xiu, it can also be seen that in the government controlled by the family, the children of the poor family have no step to enter at all, for Sun Xiu, he is lucky, at least from the open and secret struggle between the landlord class of the scholar clan and the aristocratic landlord class found an opportunity, and finally entered the ruling class, but the landlord class of the Shu nationality is still in a stage of creation, and Sun Xiu himself is not capable of carrying out a reform, its tricks, but it is not used in the right place, he is in collusion with Sima Lun, made a mess of the Western Jin Dynasty court.
From Sima Lun's taking power, we can also see the weakness of the family, in the face of the aristocratic landlord class to grasp the military power, when the butcher's knife is waved at them, the family basically does nothing, can only become a lamb to the slaughter, but the family can not really succumb to the aristocratic landlord class, in the face of Sima Lun in power, the family or silently choose to continue to cooperate with the authorities, or choose to cooperate with other royal clans, continue to lurk in the ruling class.
What the family wants to do most at this time is to find a way to provoke the infighting of the aristocratic landlord class, profit from it, and prepare to become the ruling class again, for the national problems faced by the Western Jin Dynasty at this time, there is no time to take care of it, and Queen Jia, who has political ability, was killed, even if the person in power Sima Lun is stupid, but he also knows how to maintain the rule of the dynasty, but he cares more about the threat to the imperial power of the family, so he does not have too much energy to consider the national issues in various places.
And Sima Lun was born in the royal family, and was the youngest son of Sima Yi, the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty, when he monopolized power in the court, he naturally began to ponder the question of the ownership of the throne.
Throughout the feudal society, there are very few royal clansmen in power who have not ascended the throne and called the emperor, but there are two in my memory, both in the Qing Dynasty, one is the regent Dolgon in the early Qing Dynasty, and the other is the regent Zaifeng in the late Qing Dynasty.
You must know that after the Sui and Tang dynasties, China's feudal society entered the period of rule of the Shu landlord class, most of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty passed the imperial examination to enter the official office, for the rulers of the feudal dynasty are grateful to Dade, bow and worship, the whole country from top to bottom, there is a servile mentality, the regent Zaifeng at the end of the Qing Dynasty is like this, and at that time the Qing Dynasty was already declining, and the power of the court and government soon fell into the hands of Yuan Shikai, who controlled the new army, so the last emperor Puyi had no power, What's more, his father, the regent Zaifeng. But the regent of the early Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, was completely different, when Dolgon was the regent, it was the time when the Qing Dynasty's national strength was in full swing, and the Manchurian Eight Banners were sharpening their knives and were ready to enter the customs to dominate the world, so I will tell you this historical story.
Since Nurhachi used the ancestral thirteen pairs of armor to raise troops, after more than 30 years, unified the Jurchen tribes of Jianzhou, annexed most of the Jurchen tribes in Haixi, and established the Houjin regime, in the battle with the Ming Dynasty army, was bombarded by the Ming Dynasty general Yuan Chonghuan half-dead, plus the old age, soon died a whimper, after the twists and turns of the sons to seize the heir of the bizarre story, his son Huang Taiji finally ascended to the throne of the Houjin Khan, and changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon as the son of Nurhachi, in the help of his mother Abahai also participated in the battle for succession, because of his young age, Soon he was at a disadvantage, and his mother was also buried.
Dolgon with the growth of age, under the command of Huang Taiji, led the troops to fight in four battles, and repeatedly made military exploits, and gradually mastered the white flag and inlaid white flag in the Eight Banners, after the violent death of Huang Taiji, because he did not establish the crown prince, Dolgon and Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge around the battle for the throne, launched a fierce competition, but Hauge mastered the Yellow Flag and the Yellow Banner in the Eight Banners, because he was also meritorious and the eldest son of Huang Taiji, the highest prestige among the kings, but in the process of discussion among the kings of the clan, because Hauge pretended to be humble, Dolgon won the opportunity, Dolgon knew that his strength was not as good as Haoge, and he didn't want Haoge to succeed to the throne, so he took advantage of Haoge's humility to agree with the kings that the young son of Huang Taiji, Fulin, would succeed to the throne, and that he and other clan princes would assist him, which was unanimously recognized by the kings of the Manchu clan. For the battle for the throne in the early Qing Dynasty, there are various records in the history books, I am just here to make a brief review, Dolgon's regent is in power, and we are now talking about Sima Lun, they are the uncrowned emperors of the feudal dynasty, but Dolgon failed to sit on the throne after all, I think there are three reasons:
First, Dolgon didn't dare, at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the power of the aristocratic landlord class was very strong, Nurhachi had more than ten sons, many of them were battle-hardened, and their ability and strength were not lost to Dolgon, especially the existence of Hauge, which always made Dolgon jealous, once Dolgon usurped the throne, then other kings would inevitably follow suit, and the Qing Dynasty did not wait to unify the world, and it may perish in internal friction.
Second, Dolgon didn't want to, when Wu Sangui was angry and opened the Shanhaiguan for Hongyan to welcome the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners swept the country, and there was a great tendency to dominate the world, Dolgon also took the opportunity to imprison Haoge and completely mastered the power of the Manchu Dynasty, but when the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains and became the ruling class, it was bound to change from the aristocratic landlord class to the Shu landlord class, and the Qing ruling class must accept the values of the Shu landlord class, be loyal to the monarch and love the people, although Dolgon grasped the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty and replaced it with Shunzhi, effortlessly, However, it must be influenced by the landlord class of the Shu nationality, and it never wants to risk the condemnation of the world.
Third, Dolgon can't, which has to get a great woman who will go down in history, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the wife of Huang Taiji, the biological mother of the Shunzhi Emperor, born in the Mongolian aristocracy, surnamed Borzigit, also a direct descendant of Genghis Khan Temujin, about the love story of Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the history books are unknown, and there are many versions of the deduction now, I will not go into details, but I always think that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, and the strength is not as good as Hauge's Dolgon, but he can overwhelm Hauge and preside over the government, And the support of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the son of Huang Taiji Fulin as the emperor must be related to the support of the Mongolian nobles led by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, so whether it is politically or emotionally, for the sake of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Dolgon cannot usurp the throne and become the emperor.
The history books do not record the change of the throne in the early Qing Dynasty for political reasons, and I myself am not from a historical background, so I will not say much here, but since I have already talked about the Qing Dynasty, I might as well talk about the post-Dolgon era of the Qing Dynasty.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, soon began to change from the aristocratic landlord class to the Shu landlord class, Dolgon also missed the throne, naturally resentful, after a fall from a horse injury, with infinite regret passed away, the power of the court also returned to the hands of the Shunzhi Emperor, with the assistance of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the Shunzhi Emperor and the Kangxi Emperor father and son two generations of emperors completely completed the transformation of the ruling class.
In the later years of Emperor Kangxi, in the process of nine sons seizing the heir, Emperor Yongzheng won, and after he succeeded to the throne, he began to reform the entire feudal dynasty, so that the Qing Dynasty's rule over the country was completely stabilized.
After Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne, the Qing Dynasty reached its heyday, but because of Emperor Qianlong's great achievements, the entire feudal dynasty began to decline. With the mediocre Jiaqing Emperor succeeding to the throne, the Qing Dynasty began to decline.
After Emperor Daoguang succeeded to the throne, European countries had completed the bourgeois revolution and began to plunder the backward nations of the world, and the Opium War in 1840 opened the door of China's ancient feudal society, connecting the self-styled feudal dynasty with the world, and also opened the painful journey of the modern history of the Chinese nation.
After Emperor Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, in the face of the continuous plundering of the world powers, the landlord class of the Shu nationality under the impact of the emerging bourgeoisie, the rule of the feudal dynasty began to collapse, after the death of Emperor Xianfeng, the power of the Qing Dynasty fell into the hands of the Xianfeng Emperor's concubine Yehenara, Yehenala is the famous Empress Dowager Cixi in the history of our country, under her control, the Tongzhi Emperor, the Guangxu Emperor and the Xuantong Emperor, successively succeeded to the throne, although the Empress Dowager Cixi in order to maintain feudal rule, adopted Westernization reforms, However, because the civilized etiquette system of the Shu landlord class has lagged far behind the emerging national bourgeoisie, after the Xinhai Revolution led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the Qing Dynasty finally went to the grave, and China's feudal society, which had achieved countless brilliant achievements in civilization, also came to an end.
However, because of the weakness of the national bourgeoisie, the Chinese people finally chose the socialist system, and the proletariat stepped onto the stage of history, starting the great process of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Let's go back and talk about the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Lun, who is also in charge of the government, is naturally not Dolgon, and the two live in different eras, Sima Lun became the helmsman of the Western Jin Dynasty as a royal clan, and his personal ability is far less than Dolgon. But at this time, the core values of the feudal dynasty have not really been formed, as the ruling class of the family family has no reverence for the ruler of the Hanmen Shu clan at all, of course, the princes of the Sima family who have broken away from the scholar landlord class and become the aristocratic landlord class are unlikely to have any awe of the ruler, so after Sima Lun took power, the first thing he thought of was how to replace the idiot nephew who sat on the dragon chair.
