Sima Lun, who was in power, did two things: killing people and sealing officials.

The abolished Empress Jia is to be killed, the Jia family behind Empress Jia is to be uprooted, and the ministers who oppose him in the court are also to be killed. The premise of autocracy is that there is no opposition! Sima Lun's butcher's knife did not hesitate to swing at those who stood in his way to the pinnacle of power.

Thousands of lives were harvested like grass in this purge, including Zhang Hua, who had contributed to the harmony and stability of the Great Jin Empire for nearly a decade.

I have to say that the arrival of troubled times is the sorrow of loyal ministers. The single-minded justice and enthusiasm for serving the country can only be thrown away with enthusiasm in the face of power. Leave it to be regretted by posterity!

Before he had time to wipe off the blood on his hands, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, couldn't wait to add an official to himself. With Emperor Sima Zhen in hand, it is not up to him to decide how big an official he wants to be! Let's take a look at his official titles: Holding the Jie, Governor of the Grand Du, Governor of the Chinese and Foreign Military, Xiangguo, Shizhong, and King Zhao. You may not understand the title of a long walk, simplify and simplify, let's call it "the number one leader of the party, government and army", understand? And what about the emperor? At this moment, the emperor has become a false title.

is really "the past is not forgotten, the future is the teacher", Sima Lun completely follows the story of Sima Yi and Wei, and sets up four people from the left and right Changshi, Sima, and Zhonglang, ten people who joined the army, 20 people who belong to Peng, and 10,000 people in the army (later rose to 20,000). You can imagine the pomp and circumstance of Sima Lun when he goes to work every day, which is much more popular than the local tyrants who drive Mercedes-Benz BMWs now.

At the same time, he appointed his son, the prince of Zhao and the freelancer Sima 荂 (fū), as a redundant servant; Sima Fu is a former general and the king of Jiyang; Sima Qian is Huangmenlang, the king of Ruyin; Sima Xu was a loose horseman and a marquis of the city. Through personnel adjustments, Sima Lun firmly controlled the key points of the imperial court. Sun Xiu and others, who made great contributions in the operation to eliminate Jia, were all feudal counties, with military power, and thousands of civil and military officials were feudal marquis.

Sima Lun almost forgot his banner of "avenging His Royal Highness the Prince". Thanks to the crown prince, if he doesn't die, this coup is really unjustifiable, it is possible to be killed, where will there be a good life today. Although the crown prince has gone west, the prince's kindness cannot be forgotten. The status of the former crown prince must be restored, and the son of the late prince, Sima Zang, must be appointed as the emperor's grandson. Everything, as if it was going to calm down again.

There is an old Chinese saying: people are doing, and the sky is watching. Actually, what is more important is: people are doing it, people are watching. Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, made the movement bigger, it was very big, and the benefits of the whole country were all taken by him alone, who else couldn't see it?

The relatives were very unhappy, and the good thing was that Sima Lun was all taken up by himself, and the relatives didn't eat the meat, and they didn't even drink the soup. The facts tell us that if a person mixes well, not only does he have to take care of the little brother who is charging into battle, but also the relatives who have not helped much at home also have to give dividends. Otherwise, when you go home for the New Year, your relatives' faces will be ugly, and the New Year may not let you live well.

If you are unhappy, you have to complain, Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, and Sima Jian, the king of Qi, think that Sima Lun is "arrogant and arrogant". In ancient times, these four words represented a great sin that would make Sima Lun behead all over the house. From time to time, two more sentences were going to "send troops to the king", which scared Sima Lun so much that he couldn't sleep at night. Sima Lun didn't dare to be ambiguous, and immediately asked Sima Jian to get out of the town (out of the town), and took back Sima Yun's protectors (confiscated military rights).

It's too bullying, I didn't drink the soup, I didn't eat the meat, but I became Sima Lun's appetizer. Is it bearable, and what can't be endured? Sima Yun, the king of Huainan who was confiscated from the army, picked up the guy and started a war with Sima Lun.

It's just that I haven't fought.

In August 300, Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, raised an army to attack Sima Lun, but was defeated and killed.

The lessons of life teach us that we must endure small things, and we must endure even more important things. We must endure the important events of our lives. It's just that Sima Yun couldn't hear it.

The people who wanted to kill were killed, the officials who wanted to be sealed were also sealed, and even Sima Yun, the king of Huainan who raised an army to fight against him, was eliminated. Sima Lun is very strange, really strange, he has done so many things, why didn't His Majesty the Emperor speak?

Emperor Jin Hui Sima has no opinion, as always, no opinion. He has no opinion on the imperial power being hollowed out, he has no opinion on his wife being killed, and Sima Lun has changed his wife (the second queen - Yang Xianrong) He still has no opinion. The word silence, perhaps, has long become Sima Zhen's motto.

Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, has a lot of opinions.

"It turns out that the world is ruled by such a fool! Which is better than me? Our generation, our power, our ...... of civil and martial arts, do not let Gaozu declare the emperor! Zhao Wang Sima Lun's mind was churning like a river and a sea. His ambitions swelled rapidly, and he dreamed of becoming an emperor.

In the first year of Yongning (301), Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, abolished Emperor Hui of Jin and Sima Zhen, became the emperor himself, respected Emperor Hui as the emperor, and the year name was established.

After Zhao Wanglun became self-reliant, his henchmen and cronies were greatly rewarded, and even the slaves were knighted for their merits. Above the court, there was a sudden abundance of high-ranking officials. At that time, the crown clothing of officials was to use mink tails, but because so many people were suddenly rewarded at once, mink tails were insufficient, so dog tails were used instead. The people of the time joked about this and made up a proverb: "If the mink is insufficient, the dog's tail continues." So he left an allusion to the "dog's tail and mink" for future generations.

Due to Sima Lun's large number of rewards, the treasury savings were simply not enough to support it, and even the seal letter of the rewarded official did not have enough gold and silver to smelt and cast, so that there was a saying of "the marquis of the white version". In order to please people, Zhao Wanglun likes to promise "favor and favor", which is probably the earliest record of "playing white strips" in history.

Anyway, Sima Lun's ass is sitting on the emperor's throne. It's just that Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, can sit down, and other princes can do it too. At least, many of the princes are thinking so, there are soldiers and generals, who is afraid of whom! Sima Yan's edict to protect the king of the country not only gave the princes rights and strength, but also gave them the ambition to watch the pinnacle of power.

The opportunity is here, who misses who grandchildren!

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings went through the prelude and officially began.
