Chapter 2: Past and Present Lives
Sima Yu is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and he can't see anything from his appearance, and no one knows that an ordinary modern farmer actually has rich life experiences. When he was very young, his parents left him in a terrible flood, leaving him alone, and later, he was admitted to university under the patronage of good people in society.
However, in the year after graduating from the mechanical major, he did not immediately join the work like others, but responded to the call of the country and entered the barracks and became a glorious republican [***] man.
In the army, he underwent another period of hard training, and when he was a child, he happened to learn a few hands from a folk stranger, which made him quickly stand out from the recruits. In the end, because of his excellent performance, he was recommended by his superiors to enter the country's most elite special forces.
When he arrived in the special forces, Sima Yu's talents were fully utilized, he once lurked in enemy countries to assassinate the elites of enemy countries, and also conducted special operations in Afghanistan and other regions. And every time he can successfully complete the task, he has been rewarded by his superiors even more times than others in a lifetime.
In this way, he became the most powerful presence in the special forces. However, it didn't take long for him to refuse to be retained by his superiors and leave the army without hesitation, ready to live an ordinary life.
In this way, he came to the countryside, bought tens of thousands of acres of land, and lived a life of a farmer that everyone envied. Today, he made an appointment with his brother Maniac to spend a few days with him. At this time, he was driving to the station to pick up his brother.
Who knew that the heavens were not beautiful, and suddenly thundered, Sima Yu looked up at the sky, and then put a copy of "History of Jin" on the car seat, ready to drive to pick up his brother. Sima Yu likes to read history books, because he thinks that reading history books can improve a person's feelings and make people reasonable, and now he happens to read "History of the Jin Dynasty".
The history of the Jin Dynasty was the most tragic and dark period in China, and looking up at the sky, Sima Yu remembered the description of the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Yongjia Rebellion.
"During the reign of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, the imperial court [***], the rebellion of the eight kings occurred. During the Western Jin Dynasty, the scuffle between the Sima clan and the same surname for the central power broke out, which lasted 16 years, which was an unprecedented internal strife in Chinese history, and triggered the collapse of the country and nearly 300 years of turmoil. The final outcome was that Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, seized power. It caused serious damage to the rule and is believed to be one of the reasons for the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty. This turmoil began with a power struggle within the court, and then led to a war, which caused great damage to the society, and also exacerbated the crisis of the Western Jin Dynasty's rule, becoming an important factor in the rapid demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
After that, China entered the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. There were more than eight kings in the Western Jin Dynasty who participated in this turmoil, but the eight kings were the main participants, and the Book of Jin collected the eight kings into a column of biographies, so the history is called "the rebellion of the eight kings." β
The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was a civil strife that lasted for 16 years (291~306) among the ruling class during the Western Jin Dynasty. The core figures in this power struggle are Sima Liang, King of Runan, Sima Wei, King of Chu, Sima Lun, King of Zhao, Sima Yin, King of Qi, Sima Yi, King of Changsha, Sima Ying, King of Chengdu, Sima Hao, King of Hejian, and Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea.
In the first year of Taixi (290), when Emperor Wu of Jin was dying, he ordered Yang Jun, the general of the chariot and cavalry surnamed Hongnong and the father of Empress Yang (Yang Zhi), to be the Taifu and the governor of the capital, and to be in charge of the government. After the succeeding Emperor Hui of Jin was imbecile, Empress Jia Nanfeng (i.e., Empress Jia) conspired with Sima Wei, the king of Chu, in the first year of Yongping (291), in order to let her family take power, and launched a coup d'Γ©tat by the Janissaries and killed Yang Jun, while the power fell into the hands of Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and the patriarch Wei Xuan. Empress Jia's political ambitions failed to be realized, and in June of that year, he made Sima Wei, the king of Chu, kill Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and then accused Sima Wei, the king of Chu, of killing the minister without permission, and put Sima Wei to death. Jia Hou then took power, deposed the crown prince Sima Shu in the ninth year of Yuankang, and killed him the following year. In order to compete for the central power, the kings constantly engaged in civil wars, which is known as the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
In the past 16 years, many of the kings who participated in the war were defeated one after another, many people were killed, the social economy was seriously damaged, the power of the Western Jin Dynasty was exhausted, the hidden class contradictions and national contradictions broke out, and the Western Jin Dynasty entered the period of "five chaos in China". The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was an important reason for the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
In the first year of Yongxing (304), Liu Yuan, a Xiongnu nobleman, raised troops in Lishi (now Shanxi Province), and his country was called Han (later the former Zhao). In the fourth year of Emperor Yongjia of Jin Huai (310), Liu Yuan died and was succeeded by his son Liu Cong. In April of the following year, he annihilated more than 100,000 Jin troops in Ningping City, Kuxian County (in present-day Luyi County, Henan Province), and captured and killed Taiwei Wang Yan and others. In the same year, Liu Cong sent the general Hu Yanyan to lead his troops to attack Luoyang, and repeatedly defeated the Jin army, annihilating more than 30,000 people before and after. In June, Hu Yanyan arrived in Luoyang, Liu Yao and others led troops to rendezvous, broke through Luoyang, connived at his subordinates to loot, captured Emperor Huai, killed more than 30,000 people of the crown prince Sima Quan, the clan, officials and soldiers, and excavated the mausoleum and burned the palace, which is known as the "Yongjia Rebellion". β
"Damn, Sima Yan is really old and confused, he only has one son, Sima Zhen, but he actually took national affairs as a child's play, and passed the throne to a fool by obeying the words of the woman, how can such a guy be the emperor! Otherwise, it would not have caused the disaster of Shenzhou, and millions of people would have become slaves of the Hu people. β
At this moment, a loud thunder sounded, and Sima Yu suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and then the whole person fell on the steering wheel at once. The whole car suddenly drove towards the cliff on one side......
"I'm going to die......" This was Sima Yu's last bit of consciousness, and then the whole person fell into darkness......
"Who is crying, am I not dead, how can I hear the cry?" Sima Yu woke up suddenly, but his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he tried hard but couldn't move his fingers.
"Shuyuan Niangniang's mourning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to do it, the old man has tried his best!" An old voice said.
"Imperial Doctor Wang, is it really hopeless?" A woman sobbed, clutching the last shred of hope.
Sima Yu heard it clearly this time, what he heard just now was this woman's cry, but he was even more confused, this voice was very rusty, he had never crossed paths with him, how could she cry for herself? It's also a mother, a doctor, they should be making a movie.
"Niangniang, forgive the old minister for being incompetent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no pulse, and he has no power to return to the sky!" Imperial Physician Wang knelt on the ground and cried.
"Shu'er ......" Niangniang hugged Sima Yu and howled, fainted, the maid in the house hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and the imperial physician hurriedly applied the needle, and after a while of busy work, Niangniang woke up.
Although the prince's biological mother Xie Jiu is no longer favored by the emperor, and she is always troubled by Queen Jia Nanfeng, but because she gave birth to the only son of the saint today, it is no surprise that the prince will definitely ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, so although many ministers are taken by Queen Jia Yinwei and dare not get too close to Xie Shuyuan, they also secretly pay a lot of attention to each other, otherwise Xie Jiu may have died in the palace a long time ago.
However, who would have thought that Xie Jiu's only reliance in the future, the crown prince Sima Shu, was scared to death by the thunder the day before yesterday, and he has not woken up so far, and he has finally died. Xie Jiu felt that the sky had fallen for a while, and the only motivation to support her to survive earlier was her son Sima Shu, and she was looking forward to her son's accession to the throne in the future, so that she could raise her eyebrows. As a result, who would have thought that he would be scared to death by the thunder!
"Where is this, what's wrong!"
Sima Yu, who was left to dry, listened to the sound of coaxing and crying, his heart was uneasy, years of military life made him develop the habit of always being vigilant, he tried to open his eyes, the scene in front of him still made him, a battle-hardened Predator, almost faint again, how did his body become smaller, those crying people don't look like acting, their expressions really can't be more real, am I also like those pig's feet in the great god book 'wear'......
Sima Yu quickly calmed down from the shock, looked at his place, sure enough, they were all ancient decorations, and then looked at Xie Shuyuan, that is, the mother of his body, although the pear blossoms brought rain and his face was full of tears, he was still Zhuang Yili, maintaining a fresh and lonely rhyme.
It seems that he has really crossed over, and he has crossed into a dying prince, Sima Yugang was very excited when he heard that he was a 'prince', after all, he was given the identity of the 'second generation of officials' as soon as he came up, and he was the most powerful one, and God treated him too well.
Although the ancient crown prince was a high-risk profession, Sima Yu believed that he had the ability to control the balance, and it was best for the emperor to have a short life, so that he might be able to become the supreme leader of the empire. Although Sima Yu hadn't figured out which dynasty he was wearing at this time, just being a prince made him excited!
"Wooer!" At this moment, Xie Jiu pounced on Sima Yu again, stroking the 'corpse' and crying bitterly. For this titular mother, Sima Yu has an indescribable feeling in his heart, physically, he is the son of the other party, but mentally, Sima Yu cannot regard him as his mother. After all, he has his own mother in another world, but even so, he is willing to be filial to the other party, even if it is for this body!
"Ahem......" Sima Yu's chest was squeezed violently, and a mouthful of thick phlegm blocked in his throat was squeezed out of the corner of his mouth. Younger, Younger! Sima Yu rolled his eyes when he was pressed, and the phlegm was spit out, but he couldn't breathe.
"Niangniang, Your Highness is awake!" A palace maid saw Sima Yu's white eyes, and hurriedly pulled up the mother and shouted loudly.
"Rise from the dead!"
Doctor Wang has been a doctor for most of his life, or the first time he has seen it, he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, stepped forward and reached out and grabbed Sima Yu's wrist, trembling for a long time and finally touched the pulse, "Niangniang, Your Highness really lived...... " The old man said excitedly with snot and tears in his eyes, he felt that he had not lived in vain in his life, and finally witnessed a miracle.
