The great victory in the Battle of Weishui only allowed the Eastern Jin Dynasty to continue, but did not allow it to move towards revival and rise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the contrary, as the external pressure eased, the internal power structure of the dynasty underwent subtle changes, and various contradictions accumulated, and there was a faint sense of impending a storm.

Speaking of the great victory in the water, it was led by the Xie family's housekeeping, but it did not bring the Xie family due honor.

On the contrary, Xie An, the leader of the family, fell into the dilemma of not being rewarded for his achievements.

In November 383, three months after the end of the Battle of Weishui, Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, ordered Xie An to go to Jincheng to reward the Beifu soldiers who had returned triumphantly.

After another month, the imperial court appointed Xie Shi as Shang Shuling, and Xie Xuan was appointed as a former general, but Xie Xuan was resigned.

And Xie An's reward was delayed until March of the following year, when the Son of Heaven issued an edict and entered Xie An as the Taibao.

The rewards for other meritorious soldiers who participated in the Battle of Weishui were not carried out until after Xie An's death.

The fundamental reason for this situation of merit and unrewarded is that there are many internal contradictions in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Among them, there are many contradictions between the family and the family, the Son of Heaven and the family, the family and the Son of Heaven, the family and the family, etc.

In the face of a major crisis, all parties can put aside their past grievances, and as long as external pressure eases a little, internal contradictions will erupt.

In the year when the Battle of Weishui broke out, Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, was twenty-one years old, and he was already dissatisfied with the family's maintenance of the government.

The Son of Heaven, who had endured for a long time under the politics of the gate valve, during the great southern invasion of the former Qin, began to divide the power of Xie An with his younger brother Sima Daozi, the king of Langyu, and recorded the Shangshu affairs.

After the war, Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, tried to weaken Xie An's authority for various reasons.

In the years that followed, Xie An was ostracized and died.

Xie Xuan was also relieved of his military power, retired to the internal history, and died in 388 AD.

The three states of Xu, Qing, and Yan that he controlled were also divided between the two royal families of Sima Daozi and Sima Tian, the king of Chen.

This was a challenge to the Shi clan by the royal family represented by the Son of Heaven and Sima Daozi, but because Xie An and Xie Xuan were unwilling to fight for power and profit, and made concessions, the conflict did not intensify in the end.

Xie An and Xie Xuan, the two pillars of the Xie family, died of illness, which means that the gate valve politics led by Wang Xie has come to an end.

Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, finally did one thing that the previous generations of emperors wanted to do but failed to do - Qiangang was arbitrary.

It's a pity that although Sima Yao, the son of heaven, has great power, he has no talent to govern the country, and even the chosen ruling minister is not qualified.

The person who presided over the state politics in place of Xie An was Sima Daozi, the prince of the clan, who was ambitious and talented, and jealous of his talents.

It is simply impossible to effectively reconcile internal contradictions like the predecessors Wang Dao and Xie An, and ultimately bring profound disasters to the family and country.

Since Sima Daozi took over Xie An's auxiliary power, Sima Yao, the son of heaven, has become a drunkard and a pervert.

Emperor Sima Yao indulged in wine, especially like night banquets, and the history books recorded: "It is a drink for the long night".

The Son of Heaven was drunk and not close to all opportunities, and Sima Daozi not only failed to assist the government diligently, but was as addicted to wine as the Son of Heaven.

Since then, the brothers have been drinking and singing all day long, and the Son of Heaven is even more "awake and unscrupulous, and there is no righteous person, so he can't change his ways".

When the brothers made the court full of cigarettes and drunk, they invisibly fueled the ambitions of some people.

……

Outside Jiankang City, an elderly Taoist priest led dozens of disciples and hurriedly headed towards Wuxing.

In his early years, he took advantage of the fact that the Five Dou Rice Dao was widely spread in Wuxing to actively expand the power of the family, and at the same time befriended the crown prince and young Fu Wang Ya.

However, his actions caused unrest among some of the clans, and he was eventually exiled to Guangzhou.

Sun Tai continued to preach and confuse the people in Guangzhou, and even had believers in South Vietnam.

Recently, Sun Tailai Wang Ya Zhisuke was recalled by the imperial court and appointed as an auxiliary general, Xin'an Taishou

At this moment, he had just returned from exile in Guangzhou, and came to Jiankang to report on his work.

"Uncle, when you came back from Guangzhou, why did you just take a quick look at the capital and leave?"

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest said with a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth: "Just one look is enough, the Jin family is dying, and I need to prepare early." ”

"What?! Is the Jin room really going to end? Several Taoist priests next to him listened to the words of the old Taoist priest, and their faces changed greatly.

"Lingxiu (Sun En), Yuanlong (Lu Xun), Daofu (Xu Daofu), etc. are all core personnel of the Wudoumi Sect, so they should know what the highest mission of our sect is."

"Overthrow the rule of the family and seek happiness for the common people." The three of them replied in unison, their voices loud and clear.

"Yes, in the Jin Dynasty, the clan monopolized all levels of political power, and the low-ranking scholars were often hindered by this."

"Sun Xiu, the ancestor of the Sun family, was originally born as a small official, and was trusted by Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, by virtue of his Taoism, and finally ranked in the middle of the book order, so that the Sun family rose from a humble family to an ordinary scholar."

"It's a pity that an inconspicuous family like the Sun family is almost everywhere in a place like Jiangdong, which is full of wealthy families, and it is not enough to be valued by others."

"When he was young, he tried to squeeze into the upper echelons of officialdom many times, but in the end, without exception, he failed miserably."

"When those wealthy families saw their poor background, they immediately looked sideways and ignored them."

"Since then, Poor Dao has vowed that one day I will break everything that is unreasonable in front of me."

After listening to Sun Tai's account of his past experience, Sun En, Xu Daofu, and Lu Xun all felt the same way, especially Lu Xun.

Speaking of which, Lu Xun is also from the Fan Yang Lu family, a wealthy family in the Northland, counting from his great-grandfather Lu Chen upwards to the head of the seventh ancestor Lu Zhi, each of whom is a high-ranking official.

It's just that his grandfather's generation has been unlucky, and he has not been able to reuse it since he came to the Southern and Eastern Jin Dynasties.

On the surface, it is said that because of the Zhao puppet regime after Lu Chen's departure, the Lu family was not reused.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just that the Lu family crossed the river too late, and there were no more seats in Jiangdong for a long time, so the Lu family was idle.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the clan monopolized all levels of political power, and the low-ranking scholars were often hindered by this.

As the Fan Yang Lu clan who was once a member of the Gaomen Jia clan, after coming to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lu Xun and his father and ancestor III had no official titles, and they became "unmarried eunuchs", so that Lu Xun had to marry Sun En's sister as his wife and form an in-law with the lower status Langya Sun.

Lu Xun is smart and talented, but because of his low family status, he has no official position.

He was dissatisfied with this, so he strongly supported Sun Tai's anti-Jin activities.

Lu Xun looked at Sun Tai with bright eyes, eager to rush to Jiankang City now.

"How?"

"Yuanlong is not in a hurry, at the moment Sima Yao is mediocre and incompetent, he only knows how to drink and have fun, and he will give all his power to Sima Daozi."

"And Sima Daozi is very talented, and he only trusts traitorous ministers such as Wang Guobao and Ru Qianqiu as his shares."

"The emperor and auxiliary ministers are all close to villains, and all those who are fortunate to receive them are from Xiaozhu, how can Guozuo not die?"

"Next, we should stay away from Jiankang, and then use Taoism as a means to move between Wu and Hui, secretly accumulating strength."

"When the opportunity is ripe in the future, raise troops again, overthrow the Sima family, and establish a new dynasty."

When the whole court was still immersed in the joy of the victory of the great victory in Weishui, Sun Tai had already formed a powerful force with the Langya Sun clan as the core, some leading figures of the ruling class as the backers, and believers who respected them as gods as the basis through preaching.

As long as the situation in the outside world changes slightly, this force is enough to set off a bloody storm in Jiangdong.

……

In fact, not only the inferior scholars led by Sun Tai are dissatisfied with the current imperial court, but even some wealthy families are also dissatisfied, especially Huan Wen's youngest son Huan Xuan.

Huan Xuan was born in a wealthy family - Long Kanghuan, and his father Huan Wen was the elder of the six dynasties of Emperor Cheng, Emperor Kang, Emperor Mu, Emperor Wai, Emperor Abolition and Emperor Jianwen.

When Huan Xuan grew up, he looked wonderful, had a hearty demeanor, was good at writing articles, and was quite conceited about his talents and family, and always thought that he was a hero.

However, because his father Huan Wen showed signs of usurping the throne in his later years, the imperial court had always been wary of him and did not dare to appoint him.

At that time, there were discussions inside and outside the government and the opposition that Huan Wen had traces of disobedience in his later years, and the Huan Xuan brothers were also suppressed because of this.

The court only made them idle officials with no power.

For this reason, Huan Xuan was depressed, and sighed angrily: "The father is the uncle of Kyushu, and the son is the chief of the five lakes!" ”

He was indignant that he was born in the family of the Fathers but was slandered by the world, and he repeatedly wrote to the court to defend himself.

The book can be sent to the imperial court, like a stone sinking into the sea.

These all intensified Huan Xuan's dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and also laid the groundwork for the rebellion against the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the future.
