Chapter 1 When the Opportunity Knocks on the Door 24.Huanwen's Post-Northern Expedition Era

After all, I still can't let him go, although there are many derogations in the official history, but I think he is a national hero. Those who sit and "pull" cannot let the northern iron cavalry be discouraged!

With Huan Wen's defeat and loss of prestige, and his advanced age, the long-divided North has become a great power with unified government and a rich and strong army—thanks to the efforts of the immortal prodigy Wang Meng, whom Huan Wen missed many years ago. Huan Wen will never again be able to recover the Central Plains.

After the Northern Expedition, Huan Wen actually did one thing: abolish Liwei.

In order to redeem the lost reputation, in order to shock the court, the power leaned towards the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, this was the only option for Huan Wen to maintain power.

In fact, Huan Wen still made efforts to quell Yuan Zhen's rebellion. However, his first advisor, Xi Chao, told him that the exploits of extinguishing Yuan Zhen (Yuan Zhen was dead at the time, and his son Yuan Jinli) was not enough to compensate for the damage caused by the failure of the Northern Expedition to Huan Wen's prestige. Only by doing "the abolition of the establishment is for the sake of Yi and Huo", otherwise it is not enough to intimidate the four seas and subdue the United States.

In November 371, Huan Wen deposed Emperor Sima Yi with the "disease of impotence", and renamed Sima Yu as emperor, with the year name Xian'an, for Emperor Jianwen of Jin.

Everything in the world can be said, but the objects in the crotch are not enough for outsiders. Sima Yi was unable to present evidence to his ministers in any case.

In fact, what if there is a lot of evidence?

What Huan Wen wants is just an excuse, and his personal will will not change because of the existence or absence of excuses.

According to the "Book of Jin", although the proposal to abolish the establishment was advocated by Xi Chao, Huan Wen had been planning for a long time! He once said to his cronies: "For the loneliness, I will laugh at the text and the scenery", and then stroked the pillow: "It can not be passed on for a hundred years, and it is not enough to recreate the stench of ten thousand years of evil!" His subordinates saw that Huan Wen was unsubordinate, and they didn't dare to answer correctly. Again, Huan Wen passed the tomb of Wang Dun and praised repeatedly: "Lovely, lovely."

This is called "this plan".

At that time, Huan Wen: into the prime minister, the power leans towards the opposition; As a general, there are thousands of dead soldiers. In such an identity, we cannot deny his growing disobedience, but just because Huan Wen has never rebelled throughout his life, "there is such a plan" is slander. At that time, the authority was unique in the world, and the wild words were unparalleled in the world. If you haven't done it, what's the trouble? If he walks cautiously in the court and governs the country with trepidation, then is such a person still the one who dares to brave the arrow stone and wear the stubborn Huan Wen?

The situation is dictated, and that's it.

After Sima Yu ascended the throne, Zhao Huan Wen followed the story of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and hundreds of people entered the palace (Zhuge Wuhou was still very majestic). 50,000,000 horses, 20,000 horses of silk, and 100,000 horses of cloth.

This is a thank-you, and the puppet emperor is also an emperor; can also be regarded as appeasement, and since then, Sima Yu has lived in trembling.

Former Qin Fujian heard about Huan Wen's abolition, and he was very disapproving, "Wen was defeated before the top, and then defeated Fangtou, and in fifteen years, he will tilt the national division again." The sixty-year-old public behaves like this, and he can't think about retreating, in order to thank the people, and he will abolish the monarch to be self-pleased, and he will be like the four seas! ”

No one wants to retreat bravely. "I don't know." However, if Huan Wen gives up his authority, the upper and lower levels of the Eastern Jin Dynasty court must be good-looking.

The four seas are still the same!

Compared with Wen Jing and Sima Yan, what Huan Wen did was gentle and human!

After that, things were very old-fashioned, in order to exclude dissidents, Huan Wen punished Yu and Yin for the crime of rebellion, "The power is very strong, and Xie An in the service sees it and worships it from afar." ”

Of course, Emperor Jianwen Sima Yu is also in Huan Wen's hands, although as an emperor, often afraid of being deposed, once to Xi Chao Yongyu expounded the poem said: "The heroes are in danger, and the loyal ministers mourn the humiliation", although Xi Chao guaranteed that Huan Wen would not have similar incidents with the lives of the whole family, but during Sima Yu's reign, he only kept the road silently, and died of grief in less than two years.

In fact, Huan Wen wanted to explain his original intention of abolishing the establishment to Sima Yu, and wrote a speech for it, but every time the monarch and ministers met, Sima Yu always cried and cried, and Huan Wen trembled for the battle and did not dare to say a word.

A powerful minister who really wants to usurp power and seize the throne, when he sees the emperor, why should he do this? Let's look at Sima Zhao.

As for the words written by Sima Yu in the edict before his death: "The young son can be supplemented by those who are assisted, if not, the king will take it himself." "There are comments that this is an intention to give way. I don't think so, and look at Liu Beituo being alone with Zhuge Liang, and Murong Juntuo being alone with Murong Ke, isn't it the same? Such words should be regarded as Huan Wen's recognition and encouragement as a loyal minister.

After the death of Emperor Jian Wen, Huan Wen visited Sima Yu's mausoleum, and was authorized by the new emperor not to kneel down, but Huan Wen was in a trance, saying that he saw Sima Yu's ghost, and repeatedly bowed his hand and muttered to himself, "The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare."

If it weren't for Huan Wen, presumably Sima Yu would not have died so early. From "from the public to the king" to the "monarch and minister", they have been entangled with each other for nearly 30 years, such a scene is somewhat of a guilt for Sima Yu, regretting that he finally forced this noble person to death, and even more insulted his self-sustaining Tsinghua and nobleness all his life, making him fall into the sludge like snow, and fall into the brothel like a flower......

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Chuanshan and Wang Fuzhi simply angrily sprayed Sima Yu as a national thief who was in cahoots with Huan Wen: "Wen, the thief is also; Jian Wen usurped it and usurped it, and he was also a thief. ”

It was also in that year (373) that Huan Wen died of illness at the age of sixty-two.

At the last moment of his life, all Huan Wen wanted was "adding nine tin". However, due to Xie An's perfunctory, he failed to do so.

According to reports, Huan Wen thought that Emperor Jian Wen would put Zen in his own place when he was dying, otherwise he would also make himself like Zhou Gong. The evidence lies in the following sentence in the letter written to his brother Huan Chong: "The edict makes me listen to the story of the Marquis of Wu and the prince." ”

Dissatisfaction is certain, but if it is said that Huan Wen wants to "pass on the throne" based on this alone, it is also false. In China's feudal history of more than 2,000 years, there has never been an edict from the emperor to the minister. So, where does this two-two idea come from? If it is true, can we think that Huan Wen, the commander of the three armies of the Eastern Jin Empire, who leans towards the government and the opposition, is actually cute when he thinks about national affairs!

From the history books!

Throughout Huan Wen's life, he defeated Cheng Han and took Bashu in the west; In the Northern Expedition, the soldiers were on the line; Break Yao Xiang and recover Jingluo; Attack the east again, and succeed in failure; presided over the soil break and suppressed the gate valve; Essay on martial arts, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was unmatched.

I wanted to be the emperor, but I didn't do it after all. However, the world wants to be called the king and the emperor, I don't know how many, why just scold Huan Wen!

Perhaps, if you really do it, and do it steadfastly, no one will dare to scold.

Huan Wen left many idioms and allusions to future generations, and his popularity even exceeded that of himself:

His mastermind is Xi Chao, the "guest of the scene"; His wife "I see pity" for her rival in love; Even his lord Bo is also good at distinguishing fine wine, and the good wine is called "Qingzhou Engaged", and the bad wine is called "Plain Governor".

On the march, he took pity on the female monkey who was "cut off" because of his thoughts, and punished the soldiers who caught the monkey; Seeing the willow trees planted by his own hands in the past, he sighed "The tree is like this, how can people be worthy", and even cried.

He is a well-known filial son in the world, avenging his father and weeping blood for three years, once relieved himself of authority to send his mother to the funeral, but he shouted under the cliff sky, "If you are a loyal minister, you must not be a filial son".

The corrupt Gaomen didn't like Huan Wen to be diligent in military and political affairs, but he was short of Xuan Tan and scriptures, and scolded him as an "old pawn", so there was "I'm not an old pawn, so you have to sit high?" "The high theory.

He promised himself to be heroic and self-motivated by his achievements, calling the great rebel thief Wang Dun a "lovely person", and he also compared himself to Liu Kun, just because he also had the ambition to cleanse the Central Plains.

He never hid his ambitions, and idolized Sima Yi, the founder of the Jin Empire. In the extravagant world, he is frugal and self-suffering, and only treats guests with tea and fruits at each banquet, and all he wants in his life is his dreams. finally shouted out the most sincere words in Chinese history: It can neither be passed on to future generations, but it is not enough to recreate the stinking evil for thousands of years!

For decades, there were many famous people in his shogunate, Xi Chao, the grandson of Taiwei Xi Jian, was his mastermind, Xie An's eldest brother Xie Yi was recommended by him as Fang Zhen, Wang Xun's grandson Wang Xun was in charge of the military for him, and even Xie Xuan, the founder of the later Beifu Army, also gave him to join the army, and even the prime minister Xie An himself had worshiped in the Huanwen Mansion.

The reason why the family checks and balances Huan Wen is only to maintain the aristocratic hypocrisy as much as possible, so that the interests of their own family can be maximized. There was never any loyalty to the Sima family, and no one was willing to be martyred for the Jin Empire. Xie An just told Huan Wen not to tear his face, so he was perfunctory. While not cooperating on the surface, he let the children of the family seek a way out in the possible new dynasty of the Huan clan early.

Xie An, the leader of the Qingliu Dynasty, saw Huan Wen and made a great salute to the monarch and ministers, and used "the king worships in front, how can the minister be in the back", angrily expressing his dissatisfaction with Sima Yu becoming a puppet in the hands of powerful ministers, and many years later still ridiculed Sima Yu, the "first emperor", in addition to being able to talk clearly, only worthy of being compared to the idiot Sima Zhen. A sentence of "Jianwen (Sima Yu) is the likes of Emperor Hui, and the clear talk is better than the ear", so the coffin is conclusive.

After Huan Wen's death, he did not leave the Huan family's inheritance to his son, but handed it over to his younger brother Huan Chong, who had always advocated observance of the court.

Ten years later, it was Huan Chong, who guarded Jingzhou, who led the Xifu Army, which Huan Wen had run all his life, and the Xie Beifu Army, which represented the center, to win the Battle of Weishui, which was a huge disparity in strength, and caused the behemoth-like Former Qin Empire to collapse in an instant; Then the troops reached the Yellow River, recovered Henan in one fell swoop, and established the unprecedented martial arts of the Eastern Jin Empire since Yongjia crossed to the south.

For thousands of years, how many people have ridiculed Huan Wen for lacking the courage and courage of later generations ......of gamblers.

Of course, he wants to be an emperor, but what he wants to be is a famous emperor who is awe-inspiring and energetic and leaves all kinds of good stories and anecdotes for future generations, rather than a political animal who is only driven by profits.

Of course, he wanted to drive out Hu Lu and dominate the rivers and mountains, but what he wanted to restore was the Taikang prosperous era of famous men and gentlemen, not the Qin and Han empires where the law officials were in charge.

Even if the heart is clear and the world is clear, it is not necessary to be virtuous in human feelings, but to write a chapter willfully, and the worldly power and merit are my desires, and the spiritual nobility and nobility are also my desires.

"The stone has been crossed, and it has been going down for thousands of years, and it is still alive. Where is Bishile Duan Yan now? "Adhering to Liu Kun's Wei and Jin style bones, it has been lifelike for thousands of years, and Huan Wen is also such a character!

Only great heroes can be true to themselves, and they are true celebrities.
