Chapter 51: Finding Roots

Shu Xin said: "Shennong's hometown is in our Suizhou."

Zhou Tianle showed a surprised expression and asked, "Yandi Shennong is from your Suizhou?"

Shu Xin said: "Of course, do you know about the Root-Seeking Festival?"

Zhou Tianle said: "What root-seeking festival? Haven't heard of it. ”

Shu Xin said: "I don't know you, every year around the 26th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, we hold a root-seeking festival in Suizhou, many people will come on that day to hold a ceremony to worship their ancestors, and overseas Chinese abroad will also rush back on this day."

Zhou Tianle said: "Okay, it seems that my roots are destined to take root in your Suizhou."

Shu Xin said: "I am not poor with you."

Out of Shennong Park, Shu Xin met the uncle on the street, the uncle just glanced at Shu Xin from a distance, and then looked at Zhou Tianle, and then walked away with an angry face, and the place he went to was a hospital in Suizhou. Shu Xin thought about finding a time to see his cousin, who grew up with him since he was a child, although he hated his uncle very much, but Shu Xin and his younger brother still had a good relationship.

When Shu Xin returned to the hotel, he told Zhou Tianle about the uncle he had just met, and Shu Xin said: "If he meets the uncle again, he will definitely talk about himself." Because the uncle loves to preach others, and he also has feudal thoughts. ”

Zhou Tianle said: "In the future, I will accompany you to see who dares to say you."

After staying in Suizhou for a few days, Zhou Tianle felt that he should go back to Wuhan, and he was about to have a summer vacation, and there were some personal things in the dormitory that needed to be cleaned up. Shu Xin wanted to go with Zhou Tianle, but Zhou Tianle did not object. Today, I have to go back to my hometown first to bring all the things that I should bring, if Zhou Tianle leaves, she will not want to go back to her hometown, she really feels homeless. After saying goodbye, Shu Xin took the car back to his hometown to pack his things, and Zhou Tianle waited for her to come back at the hotel, and then went to Wuhan together.

Another reason why Zhou Tianle wanted to go back to Wuhan was that he had less than 50 yuan of money, and most of his living expenses in the first half of the year were spent on falling in love. Zhou Tianle had nothing to do in the hotel, so he simply turned on the air conditioner, lay on the bed, turned on his mobile phone, and searched for the relevant history of the Jin Dynasty.

Jin Dynasty

Sima Yan was the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The grandson of Sima Yi, the eldest son of Sima Zhaoyan, is known as Emperor Wu of Jin in history. In 265 A.D., he succeeded his father as the king of Jin, and a few months later forced Emperor Cao Huanchan of Wei Yuan to cede to himself, the country was called Jin, and the capital was Luoyang. In 279 A.D., he ordered Du Pre, Wang Jun and others to divide their troops to attack Wu, and destroyed Wu in the following year to unify the whole country. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a series of economic measures were taken to develop production, and in the first year of Taikang, the household adjustment system was promulgated, including the system of occupying the field, the household modulation and the customization system of the product official occupying the field. During the Taikang period, there was a prosperous scene, which was known as the "rule of Taikang" in history. But after the destruction of Wu, he gradually became lazy in political affairs, extravagance and corruption, arrogance and lasciviousness, and laziness in political affairs. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the clan was sealed, so that the kings led the soldiers and horses to divide the kings according to one side, laying a hidden danger for the "Eight Kings Rebellion". Sima Yan died of illness in 290 A.D. and reigned for 26 years at the age of 55.

Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty was the second son of Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, and ascended the throne in 290 AD. He is demented and does not do anything, and is assisted by Taifu Yang Jun. Jia Nanfeng, the empress of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, was a power-hungry and domineering woman, and the following year she staged a coup d'Γ©tat to kill Yang Jun and seized power, leading to the outbreak of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".

Jia Nanfeng did not give birth to a boy and a half girl, she was worried that her position would not be guaranteed after the current prince succeeded to the throne, so she designed to kill the prince, which gave the ambitious Zhao king Sima Lun a chance, Sima Lun seized the handle and sent Sima Yin, the king of Qi, into the palace to poison Jia Nanfeng.

Sima Lun took the opportunity to force Emperor Hui of Jin to abdicate and became emperor himself. In March 301 AD, Sima Yin, the king of Qi, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, jointly launched an army to attack Sima Lun in the name of "King Qin". Sima Lun was defeated and killed, all his sons were executed, and most of his henchmen were killed by the Yi tribe for three generations. Then, Emperor Hui of Jin was reinstated and rewarded for meritorious service, Sima Yi was the great Sima and auxiliary to Emperor Hui of Jin, Ma Ying was the general, and Sima Hao was the lieutenant of the servant.

After Sima Yan came to power, he built a mansion, indulged in wine, and pursued luxury. As a result, Sima Yi and Sima Hao, the kings of Changsha, took the opportunity to send troops to attack Sima Yi, Sima Yi was captured and killed, and his comrades were also razed by the three tribes. Sima Hao originally wanted to kill Sima Yi by Sima Yi's hand, and then denounce Sima Yi as an excuse. didn't expect Sima Yi to succeed. So, Sima Hao and Sima Ying joined forces to attack Sima Yi. Just when Sima Yi was in a bloody battle, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, suddenly mutinied and arrested Sima Yi. Sima Hao burned Sima Yi alive.

Then Sima Yue, Sima Ying, and Sima Hao continued to fight endlessly for the supreme power. First, Sima Yue attacked Sima Ying, and after being defeated by Sima Ying, he fled back to the East China Sea.

Wang Qian, the governor of Youzhou, also took the opportunity to make trouble, he colluded with a part of the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry to attack Sima Ying, and Sima Ying also asked Liu Yuan, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, to help in the war. The format of the war began to escalate, and the situation became even more chaotic.

Sima Ying was not Wang Qian's opponent, and after the defeat, he wandered around, and was finally killed by Liu Yu, the long history of Sima Yu, the king of Fanyang. The government fell into the hands of Sima Hao. Sima Yue, who fled back to the East China Sea, once again gathered his forces to attack Sima Hao, and Sima Hao was defeated and killed.

In 306 A.D., the Rebellion of the Eight Kings ended in 16 years, with countless soldiers killed and wounded, and the people were ravaged and miserable, and they migrated to the south as refugees. In 311 AD, after Sima Yue took power, he poisoned Emperor Hui of Jin, and made Emperor Hui's younger brother Sima Chi emperor of Jin, Emperor Huai of Jin.

Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Chi, was the twenty-fifth son of Sima Yan and the third emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, during which the nomadic tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Qiang, and Di began to establish independent regimes. In the first month of 311, Emperor Huai of Jin secretly sent an edict to Xun Xi to fight against Sima Yue, and in March issued an edict to crusade, Sima Yue died of illness in the same month, and Wang Yan was elected as the marshal. In April, Wang Yan and Shi Le fought at Ningping City, and the Jin army was completely destroyed.

Wuhu Chaohua was opened by the Di and Xiongnu people. In the winter of 304 A.D., Li Xiong, the leader of the Di tribe, occupied Chengdu and proclaimed himself the "King of Chengdu", known as the Cheng Han Dynasty in history; Liu Yuan, a Xiongnu nobleman, raised troops in Lishi, known as Han Zhao in history, which was the beginning of the founding of Wuhu.

In 310 AD), Liu Yuan died, and his son Liu Cong ascended the throne. In April 311, Liu Cong's subordinate Shi Le annihilated more than 100,000 Jin troops in Ningping City, Ku County, and captured and killed Taiwei Wang Yan and others. Liu Cong also sent the general Hu Yanyan to lead his troops to attack Luoyang, repeatedly defeated the Jin army, and annihilated 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 of Jin, killed more than 30,000 princes, clansmen, officials and soldiers, and excavated mausoleums and burned palaces, known as the "Yongjia disaster" in history.

In 313 AD, Liu Cong poisoned Emperor Huai of Jin. Sima Ye, the nephew of Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty, was the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

A.D. 316. Liu Yuan's nephew, Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan, cut off the grain transportation in Chang'an; Emperor Jin chose to surrender when he ran out of food. After that, Emperor Jin was sent to Pingyang and named Huaiping Marquis, but was killed by Liu Cong at the age of eighteen.

In 317 A.D., Emperor Jin was killed, and Wang Dao and Wang Dun of the scholar clan supported Sima Rui, a distant clan of the Jin Dynasty, and ascended the throne in Jiankang, which was the Emperor of Jin Yuan. The Western Jin Dynasty, which lasted fifty-one years, perished, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was in a corner of peace, began.

Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Yuan Dynasty was the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he was the great-grandson of Sima Yi. After Sima Rui ascended the throne, because he did not have enough prestige in the imperial family and his power was weak, he could not get the support of the northern and southern scholars, and the throne was unstable. However, he reused Director Wang. Wang Dao used strategies to make the southern scholars support Sima Rui, and the northern scholars who moved south also decided to support Sima Rui, stabilizing the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime and maintaining a peaceful situation. Sima Rui was very grateful to Director Wang and appointed him as the prime minister and in charge of the government. At the time, it was called "the king and the horse, the world".

The Langya Wang family reached the peak of power, except for Wang Dao as prime minister, Wang Dun controlled the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and three-quarters of the government and opposition officials were members of the Wang family. This caused Sima Rui to be extremely dissatisfied, and he allowed his henchmen Liu Kui and others to try to suppress the power of the Wang family.

In 322 AD, Wang Dun, who was known for his ambition, raised troops in Wuchang in the name of punishing Liu Kui, invaded Jiankang, and Liu Kui defected to Shile.

Sima Rui was defeated. Soon, Wang Dun added an official to himself and became a knight, and appointed himself as the prime minister, the governor of the Chinese and foreign armies, and the secretary of the book, and Wang Dun was in charge of everything in the court.

Seeing that he could not shake the power of Wang Dao, Sima Rui gradually became ill with grief and became bedridden, and died of illness in 323 AD. He was 47 years old and reigned for 6 years.

Emperor Sima Shao of the Jin Ming Dynasty was the eldest son of Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Yuan Dynasty and the second emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Sima Shao was wise and decisive, and after his accession to the throne, he quelled Wang Dun's rebellion, stopped the pursuit of Wang Dun's henchmen, and made every effort to reuse Wang Dao in order to stabilize the emperor's authority, and maintained a harmonious attitude with the Jiangdong clan, successfully dealt with the aftermath of the "Wang Dun Rebellion", stabilized the situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and made the society show a trend of stable development.

In 325 AD, Sima Shao died of illness at the age of twenty-seven.

During Sima Yan's reign, he appointed his cousin Yu Liang to govern, trying to exclude Wang Dao's forces and revive the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, Yu Liang was suspicious of the ministers and arbitrarily killed important officials, causing conflicts within the ruling group.

In 327 A.D., Su Jun, the general of Liyang Town, and Zu Yue, the general of Shouchun Town, rebelled and invaded Jiankang in the name of killing Yu Liang. Later, it was pacified by Tao Kan and Wen Qiao, Wang Dao went out of the mountain to govern again, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty once again turned from danger to safety. During the reign of Emperor Jin Cheng, he ordered Yu Liang to go on a northern expedition, but was defeated by Shi Hu. In 336, Emperor Cheng of Jin issued the Edict of Renchen, prohibiting the generals of the Hao clan from privatizing Shanchuan Daze. In 341, the family who migrated from Jiangbei was incorporated into the household registration in the form of soil breaking.
