But Xue didn't expect everything to come so quickly.

The fact is also as Xue expected, after the dictatorship of Empress Jia, his brother Jia Zhang killed the ministers who opposed him in the name of Sima Liao, although Sima You had predicted, so he returned to Jiangnan in advance to escape death, but was demoted to a concubine, and was not allowed to return to Luojing for eternity.

Later, although the Jia family fell and Sima You was restored to the title, he did not return to the court.

Later, someone set himself up as the king, and the seriously ill Sima Liao was respected as the emperor, but the good times did not last long, and the kings of many places washed Luojing City in blood, until Sima Xin and Sima Lie's combined forces seized Luojing City again, and the two shared power.

The following year, another coup d'état occurred in the capital, Sima Xin was expelled from the city, and in the future, Sima Lie led an army to crusade against Sima Xin in the name of the crown prince Sima You, but Sima Xin was killed, and Sima Lie controlled the government alone.

At first, Sima Lie was only as an auxiliary minister, and Sima You cooperated with Sima You to govern the Dayu Dynasty, but at the end of the year, the emperor Sima Liao died, and Sima Lie revealed his minions, falsely passed on the edict, and established himself as the emperor's younger brother, taking over the power.

Sima You observed the situation and understood the current affairs, and repeatedly asked to return to the fiefdom but was refused, and Sima Lie was also worried about this time.

Before, because Empress Jia killed the prince, so he was counterattacked by the vassal kings from all over the country, Sima Lie was afraid of this matter, so he only passed the edict to abolish Sima You, and imprisoned him in the palace, and ordered people to poison Sima You's meal, not to poison him to death, but to destroy his internal organs, strange meridians and eight veins, and then hang his life with decoction, so that he could not leave the palace forever.

However, Sima Lie was still not at ease, so he began to find a reason, first to Sima You's mother's old family, and then began to raise the butcher's knife to the minister who had been good friends with Sima You, Sima You at first just thought that he was lucky not to die, but when Sima Lie began to slaughter people close to him, he finally let go of the last trace of thought, he couldn't bear to die because of him, so he took the initiative to ask for his life, on the grounds that the sick body would bring shame to the royal family, he was willing to surrender to the common people, renamed "Si Kui", during the captivity he studied medical skills, and invited himself to become a palace official, I went to the hospital on an errand.

Sima You's move was to protect the reputation of himself and his mother's family, and at the same time, he would never be able to get the imperial power again for the rest of his life.

Sima Lie was very satisfied when he heard this, as long as he lived and did not leave the palace, he could better imprison him and control him.

The name "Si Kui", taken from the "Si" of "Sima's", the sunflower of the Chinese medicine "Ku Kui", which is a kind of herb born in the edge of the field and the wasteland, is also a taste of the decoction that prolongs his life.

In fact, Sima You never had the intention of rebellion, he was originally kind, only for Dayu to be peaceful forever, some people repeatedly dissuaded Sima You not to return to the dynasty, but Sima Lie saw through Sima You's thoughts, so he bewitched him with clever words, making him feel that only by becoming the prince could he end the troubled times.

But it often backfires, since the moment Sima You left Jiangnan, the situation has long been out of his control, he has entered the whirlpool of power, and he can't get out, and finally even his mother's old relatives are gone, he has no family, and because of physical reasons, he can't leave this seemingly glamorous, but actually dark palace.

Sima You once thought about this life, but the rumor that Tao Guifei's children were still alive gave him a glimmer of hope to live.

Since then, on the one hand, he has refined his medical skills, although there are only three or two doctors in the hospital, and there are no one or two masters in the palace, he began to live with the name of "Si Kui" with his heart, and in his spare time, he also began to study Lao Zhuang's knowledge, and gradually looked down on the desire to kill, although the body was trapped in the palace, but the heart has crossed the world.

However, in the end, he waited, waited until Sima led his subordinates into Luojing in the name of mourning, and also waited for "Sima Ji" to return to the palace.

So, he came to the Queen Mother's bedroom with the medicine box non-stop.

It's just that when he was at the door, Si Kui hesitated, the "Prince You" who was in the clouds, upright, and Sima Ji who had an overview of the Dayu rivers and mountains is now reduced to the body of Lan Zhou, who is powerless and relies on decoction to continue his life, will he still be the "Brother Youhuang" in Sima Ji's heart who shelters him from the wind and rain?

When he was at the door, he heard a pleasant voice asking Aunt Yao if the tea was longan tea.

The sound as crisp as a silver bell was like a glimmer of light flashing in the dark night sky, and he was drawn by the voice and stepped into the gate of the Queen Mother's palace.

Later, Sima Liao trusted Empress Jia very much. Therefore, Empress Jia was autocratic and even forged Sima Liao's edict. After that, he persecuted the empress dowager, deposed her as the empress dowager, and killed Sima Liang, the king of Dazai Runan. In the same year, he killed the Empress Dowager in Kim Yong Cheng. Rebellion of the Eight Kings. Since then.

In the ninth year of Yuankang (299), Jia Nanfeng began to persecute the crown prince Shang and abolished the prince's status. The following year, he killed the crown prince. This move made Concubine Tao feel deeply frightened, so she sent her children out to the prince and died by herself.

This move became the starting point for many imperial families who opposed the dictatorship of Empress Jia to start their actions. Sima Wang, the king of Zhao, dared to forge an edict to abolish and kill Jia, killed Sikong Zhang Hua and others, led the country, and set up Sima Wei, the king of Xiangyang, as the emperor's grandson, and Xun Xianlan as the queen mother.

In the first year of Yongning (300), in March, Sima Jiu, the king of Qi, raised an army against Sima Kang, and was supported by Sima Xin, the king of Changsha, Sima Lie, the king of Hejian, and Sima Cha, the king of Changshan. Sima dared to be defeated.

In October, Sima Xin, Sima Lie, and met in Luoyang to oppose Sima Jiu's dictatorship. Sima Cha, the king of Changshan, took the opportunity to kill Sima, and Sima Cha, the king of Changshan, became a powerful minister in the court. The crown prince was reinstated.

In April of the first year of Yongyuan (302), Sima Xin and Sima Lie attacked Sima Cha. Tens of thousands of people died in the subsequent looting. In July 302, after that, the two armies fought against each other outside the city of Chang'an, and even the thirteen-year-old boy was conscripted, and at the same time, both armies recruited the Xiongnu and other troops, and finally Sima Cha was defeated and killed.

Sima Xin's army invaded Chang'an, the emperor's grandson died, Sima Xin established Sima You, the king of Wu, as the crown prince, and joined Sima Lie in Chang'an, and the two ruled dictatorship.

In May of the following year, another coup d'état occurred in the capital, and Sima Xin was expelled.

In August, Sima Lie, the king of Hejian, led an army to attack Sima Xin, the king of the East China Sea, but was defeated by Sima Xin's army in Dangyin, and Sima Xin, the king of the East China Sea, fled back to his feudal state. By the end of the year, Sima Lie, the king of Hejian, took over power in Chang'an.

(304), Sima Lie attacked Sima Xin in the name of Prince You, and Sima Xin was captured and later killed.

At the end of the same year, Emperor Sima Liao died, Sima Lie falsely passed on the edict, abolished the prince, imprisoned him in the palace, and established himself as the emperor's younger brother.
