Chapter 3: The Ugly Girl's Counterattack
Chapter 3: The Ugly Girl's Counterattack
In 265 AD, Sima Zhao was seriously ill, and before his death, Sima Yan, the eldest son who succeeded to the throne as the king of Jin, asked about the future.
"Jia Gonglu, who knows you".
It turned out that Sima Zhao had planned to pass on the throne to his second son Sima You. When soliciting the minister's opinion, Jia Chong advised Sima Zhao: Sima Yan is a forgiving and benevolent person, and he is the eldest son, and he has the virtue of a king, so it is not appropriate to violate the etiquette system and abolish the elder and youngest.
The question of establishing the successor of the emperor has always been the top priority of state affairs, and in addition to factors such as the descendants, concubines, and elders, character, ability, and character must be examined. Among Sima Zhao's sons, the most outstanding comprehensive ability is Sima You, who has all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, not only his father Sima Zhao, but also his grandfather Sima Yi values him very much.
However, Sima You also has two disadvantages, one is that Sima Yan is the eldest in terms of age, and he is the second. It's good to say that the second disadvantage is indeed very fatal. That is, he is not Sima Zhao's son.
Wait, Sima You and Sima Yan's mothers are both the queen of civilization Wang Yuanji, who is so bold and dares to cuckold Sima Zhao? This is not true, in terms of blood, Sima You is the son of Sima Zhao, but in terms of law at that time, it is no longer so. Because, Sima Zhao's elder brother Sima Shi had no sons, and Sima Yu succeeded to his uncle Sima Shi as a son.
It is said in the official history that Sima Zhao was persuaded by Jia Chong and other ministers to finally appoint Sima Yan as his successor. In fact, since the day Sima You was passed on to his uncle Sima Shi, Sima Zhao basically no longer considered making him his successor. Jia Chong's suggestion was just a driving force for Sima Zhao to finally unload his psychological burden.
In any case, Jia Chong was meritorious in the establishment of Sima Yan as the successor. After Sima Yan succeeded to the throne of King Jin, he immediately cashed in his benefits and appointed Jia Chong as the Marquis of Ying. After Sima Yan became the emperor on behalf of Wei, he worshiped Jia as a general of the chariot cavalry, a regular attendant of the scattered cavalry, and a servant of the Shangshu, and was named the Duke of Lu County, and his mother Liu was named the wife of Lu Guotai. At this time, Jia Chong was already a very popular minister.
Objectively speaking, Jia Chong is not a straw bag, not only first-class military and administrative management, but also did one thing that left a strong mark in Chinese history, that is, he was appointed to preside over the revision of the "Jin Law" of great significance in the history of China's legal system. In this sense, Jia Chong is an old-timer in our legal circles.
The "Jin Law" was completed by Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, in the third year of Taishi, that is, in 267 and promulgated and implemented in the following year, also known as the "Taishi Law". Zhang Fei, president of the Supreme Court of the Later Western Jin Dynasty (Tingwei), and Du Pre (the distant ancestor of Du Fu and Du Muzhi), an amateur jurist of the Western Jin Dynasty and one of the commanders of the Wu Dynasty, annotated the "Jin Law", which is equivalent to the current judicial interpretation of the law by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, so the Jin Law is also called "Zhang Dulu".
The Law of the Jin Dynasty inherited the laws of the Han Dynasty and the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and was the first Confucian code in feudal Chinese society. On the basis of the Han "Nine Chapters of Law" and the Wei "New Law", it made more reasonable arrangements for the setting of styles and provisions, and the most noteworthy thing is that it "accepted the rites into the law" and directly incorporated the Confucian "uniform" rites into the legal code, which is what is called "quasi-five uniforms to control crimes" in the history of the legal system.
Folks often say "brothers who don't have five suits", what does this "five suits" mean?
Chinese feudal society was a society composed of patrilineal families, with patriarchal ancestors as the most important. The range of relatives includes the male descendants from Gaozu down and their spouses, that is, the nine generations from Gaozu to great-great-grandson, which is usually referred to as the nine clans of the clan.
Relatives within this range, including immediate family members and collateral relatives, have relatives to wear mourning clothes for the funeral when they die, according to the degree of intimacy, the mourning period and the thickness and specifications of the mourning clothes worn are also different, divided into five clothes: beheading, Qi decay, great gong, small gong, and hemp.
Take the heaviest of the five costumes, the mourning clothes (pronounced "Cui"), as an example. Chopping is made of the coarsest raw linen cloth, and the broken parts of the cloth are exposed, without locking the edges, indicating that there is no decoration to grieve the sorrow. The period of service is three years.
Who wears the decay suit? The minister is the king, the son and the unmarried daughter are the father, and the wife and concubine are the husband. In addition, the grandchildren of the grandfather also had to be defeated. What is Load-bearing Sun?
Load-bearing grandchildren have nothing to do with load-bearing walls. When the eldest grandson of the eldest family dies before his parents, then when the eldest grandson of the eldest family holds a funeral after the death of his grandfather and grandmother, he must replace the eldest son of the eldest son of the long house, that is, his father, as the mourner, and call the great-grandson, this custom has continued to contemporary China.
Nowadays, in some places in the rural areas of northern China, if an elderly person dies, there needs to be a mourning basin in front of the funeral procession, and the basin needs to be broken at the intersection. If the eldest son of the old man is no longer alive, then the qualification to carry the mourning basin will not fall on the younger son, but the eldest grandson will carry the mourning basin, because the eldest grandson is the bearer.
If the kinship is more than five generations, there is no need to mourn for it, which is commonly referred to as "out of five suits". Not only do you not have to mourn, but you can also intermarry. There is also a saying that the grandson of a grandfather does not take a service, and the following generation takes a service, a total of eight generations. Therefore, scolding the ancestors of the eighth generation is to scold the entire family. Thank you for your eight generations of ancestors, that is, thank your entire family.
For the first time, the "Jin Law" incorporated the Confucian "five suits" system into the legal code, as a criterion for judging whether a crime is constituted and measuring the severity of the crime. On the contrary, if you are inferior to others, the punishment is lighter than that of ordinary people, and the closer the relationship, the lighter the punishment. For adultery between relatives, the punishment is heavier than that of ordinary people, and the closer the relationship, the heavier the punishment. If relatives steal from each other, the punishment is lighter than that of ordinary people, and the closer the relationship, the lighter the punishment.
In addition, in the civil aspect, when determining the relationship of civil rights and obligations such as maintenance and inheritance, the factors of the five services are also considered.
The establishment of the principle of "quasi-five obedience to control crime" is another major development of the Confucianization of feudal law since the Han Dynasty opened the precedent of "integration of etiquette and law", reflecting the characteristics of "equal emphasis on etiquette and law" of Jin law, until the Ming and Qing dynasties, "quasi-five obedience to control crime" has always been the basic legal principle of feudal society, and even in today's China, the shadow of this legal principle can be seen.
For example, Article 1(4) of the Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Theft Cases promulgated by the Supreme People's Court in 1998 stipulates that: "Theft of one's own property or the property of a close relative may generally not be treated as a crime; Where it is truly necessary to pursue criminal responsibility, the handling should also be different from that of committing a crime in society. ”
In short, the Jin Law has an important position in the history of China's legal system, and the laws of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and even the Sui and Tang dynasties have all been marked by it, and some of its legal ideas have even influenced today's judicial practice. And the host of the compilation of this law is Jia Chong.
Everything in the world is conserved, and so is one's fortune. Comrade Jia Chong is proud of his political success and has made remarkable achievements in academics, but his heart is extremely uneasy.
First, he has always carried the notoriety of killing kings, and he is under great psychological pressure. One day, he and his colleague Yu Chun raised the bar on the wine table, and Jia Chong was eloquent and aggressive. Yu Chun was anxious and blurted out: Where is the noble townsman (Cao Chao)?
If you don't expose your shortcomings, it's embarrassing to expose your shortcomings. Jia Chong's cheeks swelled into the color of pig liver.
In 280, Wu was destroyed, and Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, was escorted to Luoyang. At the banquet, Jia Chong ridiculed Sun Hao as a victor: I heard that you often gouge out people's eyes and skin people, who is this kind of torture targeted? Sun Hao: Specializes in dealing with disloyal and unrighteous traitors.
Sun Hao's answer didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Jia Chong was on pins and needles when he heard it. After all, people are still face-to-face.
Second, his family life is extremely unsatisfactory.
Jia Chong was originally married to his wife Li, born in a famous family, beautiful and virtuous, married to Jia Chong and gave birth to two daughters Jia Quan (organic chemistry class was not available at that time), Jia Jun, Jia Quan married the aforementioned Sima You, who almost became the successor to the throne of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Later, Li was exiled to the border because of his father's crime, and Jia Chong married Guo Huai, the daughter of Chengyang Taishou Guo Pei, and history was rewritten.
In 257, Guo Huai gave birth to the ugly baby girl and named her Jia Nanfeng.
Guo Huai, the first "vinegar emperor" in Chinese history. After giving birth to Jia Nanfeng, she was wary of all the women around Jia Chong. It's no wonder that a woman who can give birth to a daughter like a good thing to ward off evil is definitely not very beautiful.
Lack of self-confidence is the source of all narrow-mindedness and jealousy.
When Jia Nanfeng's younger brother Jia Limin was 3 years old, his nurse took him to play at the door of his house, Jia Chong happened to come over, the little pot friend was innocent, opened his hand and smiled and asked his father to hug him, Jia Chong stepped forward and bent down to pat his son very affectionately.
Unexpectedly, this affectionate act directly lost the life of the nurse.
Unfortunately, Guo Huai happened to come over, this scene, in her eyes, is not a scene of family happiness, but a picture of the nurse seducing Jia Chong.
According to history, Jia Limin died of illness due to the death of his nursing mother. Jia Chong is such a big bureaucrat, even if he didn't have a famous brand Sanlu at that time, can't he invite a nurse again? How could a young son die of illness due to the death of a nursing mother?
Actually, this is a good explanation.
Modern medicine shows that the baby's digestive system is immature, the secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes is less, and the activity of digestive enzymes is low, it is difficult to adapt to the large changes in the quality and quantity of food, coupled with the poor regulatory function of the nervous system to the gastrointestinal tract, and the immune function is not good.
Although Guo Huai is ugly, his fertility is not weak, and he later gave birth to a boy, but he still found a nursing mother to feed. One day, the nurse was holding the child in the courtyard, and Jia Chong, who did not remember for a long time, stepped forward to stroke the child's head again, Guo Huai's three views were stable from the beginning, and he thought that the nurse intended to seduce her husband, so he couldn't help but say that he beat the nurse to death. This son died in infancy.
With the excellent genes of the monarch's father and the vinegar emperor's mother, Sister Feng will naturally not be dignified and virtuous.
But, luck.
After Jia Nanfeng became an adult, he actually married Sima Yan's second son and the crown prince at the time. Some people say that the crown prince can't choose what kind of beauty he chooses, but he chooses an ugly girl who looks back and smiles at paraquat and the six palaces have a steep increase in pink and color as his wife, isn't it a fool?
That's right, Sima Zhen is indeed a fool, to say the least, his brain is not very bright.
Sima Yan himself is very handsome (very great), Queen Yang Yan from the famous Hongnong Huayin Yang Gaomen, "less intelligent, good at books, beautiful qualifications", the husband and wife gave birth to three sons and three daughters, Sima Zhen is the second son.
Sima Xin's other siblings were all smart and clever, and later he had five children of his own, and his IQ was no problem, but strangely, he was the only one who was not very bright.
Sima Zhen, the copyright owner of the allusion to "why not eat minced meat". It is said that after he became the emperor, there was a famine one year, the people had no food to eat, and they were starving, and someone reported the situation truthfully, and this old man asked: There is no corn, why don't you drink porridge?
It seems biased to conclude that a person is a fool based on just one Lei Renyu allusion, after all, the owners of the copyright of allusions such as "set a small goal first", "I don't know the beauty of my wife", "Peking University is okay" and other allusions are all elites in reality. The limitations of life often limit a person's cognition, a teenager who grew up in the deep palace since childhood, lacks grassroots work experience, does not know the suffering of the people, and cannot be said to be abnormal. In addition, historians often ignore that there is another allusion about Sima Zhen.
"Don't go to this servant's blood." It is said that after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings later, Sima Zhen wandered outside and was in danger, and the others were scattered, only Ji Shao (Ji Kang's son) stepped forward and did not hesitate to die to protect Sima Zhen. After the war subsided, the people around him wanted to wash the dragon robe for the emperor, Sima Zhen's eyes were full of sadness, and he resolutely spit out this very humane sentence.
His nickname is "Hui", which is also an objective evaluation of his mediocre but kind by history.
It is impossible to accurately judge what Sima Zhen's IQ is, after all, he can't measure IQ, but in any case, he is at least a successor to the throne who has not been tempered by complex political struggles, has been spoiled in the deep palace since childhood, has a simple heart, and is not very bright-minded.
Sima Yan's eldest son, Sima Liang, died early, but how could the emperor lack a son? Not only is there no shortage, but he also has 25. Among the 25 people, it is not difficult to find a smart son to inherit the throne, but he just found a son with a not very bright brain to be the crown prince, is Sima Yan's IQ also lowered?
No, Sima Zhen was designated as the crown prince for two reasons:
First, Sima Zhen was born to Empress Yang Yan, and he was the second son, and the eldest son died, and the second son should be the first substitute in order.
Sima Yan didn't have the idea of changing the crown prince, and discussed with Queen Yang Yan. Yang Yan came from the famous Hongnong Huayin Yang family, and his ancestor Yang Zhen was a great Confucian, and was deeply influenced by the traditional concept of Confucianism. As soon as Sima Yan said his thoughts, he was resolutely opposed by her: The prince has always been a long-term heir but not a virtuous person, how can he change it casually? !
The biggest prison in life is a person's mind.
The second is that Sima Zhen's brain is not very good, but he has a particularly well-behaved and intelligent son Sima Shu. Sima Yan likes this grandson the most.
In fact, Sima Shu is not necessarily Sima Yan's grandson, but ......
Sima Shu's mother is called Xie Jiu, and she turned out to be a talented person in Sima Yan's harem. When Sima Zhen was the prince and wanted to take a concubine, his father Sima Yan was worried that he was too young to play poker with women (Sima Yan should be too worried about this), so he sent his talented Xie Jiu to the East Palace to sleep and be the prince's sexual enlightenment education teacher.
The royal education is really enviable, and even the things of Yunyu are specially assigned to a first-class registered bed master to teach. But because the crown princess Jia Nanfeng was notoriously jealous, Xie Jiu, the master of the bed, was afraid of being victimized, so he returned to Sima Yan's side, and then gave birth to Sima Yan.
Is Sima Shu Sima Yan's son or grandson? It can't be verified, but Sima Shu has been extremely smart since he was a child, but it is a fact.
One day, there was a fire in the palace in the middle of the night, Sima Yan went upstairs to watch, Sima Shu was only 5 years old at the time, stretched out his little hand on the side, pulled Sima Yan into the dark shadow, and warned his grandfather: The twilight is bright, you should be strictly guarded, and others should not see the emperor in the light.
Sima Yan was almost like his uncle Sima Shi, so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, a 5-year-old child actually had such knowledge! Afterwards, he stroked Sima Shu's back and sighed: This is my family!
Another time, Sima Yan took Sima Shu to visit the royal pig farm, and Sima Shu pointed to the fat and strong pigs with his little finger: these pigs have grown fat, and it is a waste of food to stay here.
Sima Yan deliberately teased him: What do you say?
Sima Shu: The soldiers should be killed.
Knowing that the army was enveloped at such a young age, Sima Yan was even more pleasantly surprised.
If your son is stupid, you can be stupid, and if you designate a good grandson (son) as your successor, you can still sit steadily. It is not uncommon in history that such examples of "ordinary children" are established because of "good saints". It is recorded in the "Chronicle of the History of the Ming Dynasty" that in the early years of Yongle, Zhu Di had just ascended the throne and asked Xie Jinli for the opinion of the prince, and the talented son Xie Jin only replied with "a good holy grandson", which made Zhu Di make up his mind to establish his eldest son Zhu Gaochi.
Because, although Zhu Gaochi is not as prominent as his younger brother Zhu Gaochu's military achievements, he has a good son Zhu Zhanji. Sometimes, it is really unpredictable whether people are promoted or not. Seven points are destined, and three points depend on hard work. Who would have thought that eugenics could also affect promotion?
Sima Yan's "good saint grandson" Sima Shu has grown to several years old, and Sima Zhen doesn't know that he has such a son. One day, Sima Zhen went to the palace to visit his father Sima Yan, and saw his father holding a child, thinking that his father did not know which concubine he had given birth to a little brother. Sima Yan smiled and told him, this is your son, the seed you left behind when Xie Jiu went to the East Palace to teach you sex education class.
Although Sima Zhenren is not smart, he also knows that it is good to have a son, he and Jia Nanfeng have several children, all of whom are daughters, and now he suddenly likes to be a father, and his snot bubbles are rising, bringing Xie Jiu and Sima Shu back to the East Palace.
There is a jealous main room at home, Xie Jiu can have good fruit to eat? Jia Nanfeng saw Xie Jiu and Sima Shu's mother and son, and became jealous, isolating Xie Jiu and Sima Zhen from each other, and they were not allowed to see each other.
Except for Xie Mei, Jia Nanfeng regarded all concubines as enemies, and ordered the palace maids to keep a close watch, and no one was allowed to sleep with Sima Zhen without her permission.
Originally, this was a family affair in the East Palace, as long as it wasn't too much, no one would care. But Jia Nanfeng did one thing, which completely provoked Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin.
One day, Jia Nanfeng saw a concubine surnamed Zheng in the back garden with a big belly, and the big jar of vinegar was generated, so he copied an iron halberd and threw it over. The woman under the rage, the strength was multiplied, and this throw actually threw the effect of the 100-meter world record in the Uweihorn javelin, Concubine Zheng's big belly was cut open, and the baby fell out of the belly.
Both mother and child died.
Concubine Zheng is virtuous and virtuous, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her death caused a lot of sensation in the harem.
People are both virtuous and artistic, and you are lacking in both virtue and art! When Sima Yan learned about it, he was furious and ordered Jia Nanfeng to be imprisoned in Luoyang Jin Yong City and abolished as the crown princess.
If Jia Nanfeng had been imprisoned, Chinese history would have been rewritten. But at key junctures, there are always some Merkelian Madonnas.
Several people came to intercede for Jia Nanfeng. Among these people, there is Jia Chong's henchman Xun Xun, which is not surprising. But there is one of the most critical lobbyists, and Sima Yan has to pay attention to it.
Yang Zhi, Sima Yan's second empress, Yang Yan's cousin. "Concubine Jia is still young, and jealousy is a woman's nature, thinking of her father Jia Chong has a great merit, give her another chance."
The pillow wind was huge, and Sima Yan finally spared Jia Nanfeng, which also left a huge aftermath for the Sima family and Chinese history.
After Jia Nanfeng regained his freedom, Our Lady Yang Zhi admonished her many times out of kindness, asking her to practice more of the virtues of the crown princess. Saying this to such a daughter-in-law, she is naturally playing the piano to the cow, Sister Feng is not only ungrateful, but also thinks that her mother-in-law Yang Zhi is squeezing her, and her heart is full of thorns.
As for why the black and ugly Jia Nanfeng can become the daughter-in-law of the crown prince, the statement in the Book of Jin is like this.
In July 271, the Di and Qiang tribes in the Qin and Liang areas of northwest China (now Tianshui and Wuwei, Gansu) rebelled. Jia Chong's political enemies, Ren Kai and Zhongshu Ling Yuchun, took the opportunity to ask Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty to send Jia Chong to lead his troops out of the town of Guanzhong. Sima Yan approved the edict and decided to send troops to the expedition at the beginning of the next year.
Leaving the imperial court and going to the barren land in the northwest to suffer, Jia Chong was of course reluctant in his heart. While he was in distress, a man came to the door.
This person's name is Xun Miao, the official secretary in the middle of the house, and Jia Chong's henchman.
Friends, most afraid of splitting, Xun Miao was worried that Jia Chong would lose the big tree after his trip, so he came to lobby--- this time he was ordered to go out of the town, the emperor has given an order, and it is difficult to refuse. But there was a way to get the emperor to retract his mandate.
Jia Chong's eyes lit up, but when he heard Xun Miao tell the whole plan, he was deflated.
Xun Miao's plan --- Jia Gong could marry the crown prince.
I haven't counted what my daughter looks like?! It is difficult to find an ordinary son-in-law, how dare you expect to be sent to the palace as a crown princess, and there is no shortage of evil spirits in the palace.
Xun Miao is confident--Jia Gong doesn't have to worry, I have my own way.
The emperor is also a man, although he has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, he always likes to find same-sex drinks to relieve loneliness and relieve stress, because wine can make men forget all the entanglements of love and hatred and return to their true selves, which cannot be replaced by the love of heterosexual lust. Some women don't understand when they are killed, obviously I am beautiful and hot, but why do the big pig's trotters at home stay out drinking all night long? What's so good about this broken wine? The reason for this is only understood by the men themselves. One day, Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty wanted to find a minister to accompany him to drink and brag and chat, so he summoned Xun Miao and others to the palace for a banquet.
Xun Miao took advantage of the wine to suggest to Sima Yan: The crown prince is an adult, and he should find a daughter-in-law to inherit the throne and inherit the emperor. Jia Chong's daughter is talented, virtuous and virtuous, and can become a good daughter-in-law of the boss.
After hearing this, Sima Yan almost wanted to smack Xun Xuan, he knew the situation of Jia Chong's daughter very well, and he had already planned for the marriage of the crown prince Sima Zhen, he had long been optimistic about the daughter of the minister Wei Qian.
Wei Qian, strange? His grandson is certainly no stranger --- Wei Jue. That's right, it's the famous beautiful man who was exhausted to death by a group of women who were brutally watched. From a genetic point of view, Wei Qiang's grandsons are all beautiful men, and his daughters are also beautiful women.
Sima Yan once discussed with Queen Yang Yan: The daughter of the Wei family and the daughter of the Jia family are really the difference between Da S and Sister Feng. Jia Chong's wife Guo Huai was born jealous, and she didn't have many children, and the daughters she gave birth to were all black and ugly, and what was even worse was that she was five short figures, if she was married, it would affect the descendants of my Sima family from a genetic point of view. Mrs. Wei is virtuous by nature and full of children and grandchildren, not to mention that her daughter is fair-skinned and beautiful, she is slender, and her daughter-in-law with a model figure just can't do work, and she looks good just standing in front of the door, what do you say, queen?
Women choose daughters-in-law without looking at their appearance, and even out of a subtle psychology of women, they hope that their daughter-in-law will be ugly. In addition, Jia Chong's cronies Xun Xun and Guo Huai and others did the work of Empress Yang in advance, and Empress Yang insisted on choosing the daughter of the Jia family.
At this time, Xun Yi, the old minister who acted as the crown prince and the prince, also agreed with Empress Yang and praised to the emperor that Jia Chong's daughter was virtuous and virtuous, and she was the best candidate for the crown princess.
Jia Chong, Xun Miao, and Xun Yi are all Sima Yan's close ministers, and they all rely on them to decide on military affairs. Since they unanimously asked for Jia Chong's daughter, and Empress Yang's attitude was so clear, Sima Yan had no choice but to agree.
At this time, even God was helping Jia Chong.
Heavy snow suddenly fell in Luoyang City, and it fell for several days, and the snow was more than two feet thick, sealing the road of the entire Jingshi so tightly that it was impossible to identify. Jia Chong, who was about to lead the army to set off, happened to postpone the date of leaving the town for some reason and wait for the ice and snow to melt.
Xun Miao and others stepped up their activities and played Sima Yan: It is now mid-spring February, and the snow is falling in Tianpu, which is really a good omen. The crown prince should be married on the right day.
Sima Yan Enzhun, in February of the 8th year of Taishi (272), issued an edict for the crown prince Sima Zhen to marry the daughter of Jia Chong.
Everything is so logical.
If the wedding is to be held, the woman's parent Jia Chong is naturally not suitable to go west, and Sima Yan then issued another edict, so that Jia Chong will still be in his original position.
At the beginning of the marriage, the original candidate was Jia Chong's 12-year-old daughter Jia Wu. The girl of the Jia family was already short, Jia Wu was still a minor, and the wedding dress was worn like a hemp bag on her body, and she couldn't hold it up.
Let's change to a bigger one, my sister Jia Nanfeng, who is 3 years older than Jia Wu, appeared smoothly.
This year, Sister Feng is 15 years old, 2 years older than the prince. In this way, Jia Nanfeng took shit luck and became the crown princess by mistake.
However, this statement in the Book of Jin is patently suspicious.
Question 1: Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty knows everything about the situation of the daughter of the Jia family, and Xun Miao and others dare to open their eyes and say nonsense to fool the emperor? It's just enough to say that Jia Chong's daughter is virtuous and virtuous, but dare to say that Jia Chong's daughter is "peerless"? Ordinary people looking for a daughter-in-law, when they encounter such a big fool, the matchmaker can't help but give them two mouths, let alone the emperor's son.
Question 2: Sima Yan is the founding emperor of the Western Jin Empire, a generation of heroes who completed the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, how could he take the marriage of the emperor's heir as a child's play because of the insistence of several ministers?
What is the truth? After repeated study and pondering, the most reasonable explanation is:
1. Seek stability. As mentioned earlier, Sima Zhao originally wanted to appoint Sima Yan's younger brother Sima You as his successor, but it was Jia Chong, Xun Xun and other ministers who strongly advised Sima Yan to change it.
Sima You is not an idle person, history records that his nature is gentle and intelligent, at the beginning of the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, quite a political achievement, won the hearts of the people. Even in Sima Yan's later years, the calls for Sima You's succession were very high inside and outside the court.
Sima Yan obviously didn't want to let go of such a fierce opponent and threaten the imperial power of his stupid son in the future, given that Sima You was the younger brother of a fellow mother, and it was not easy to exterminate him physically, he could only be appeased and wooed. But what does this have to do with Sima Yan's choice of the ugly girl Jia Nanfeng as the crown princess for his stupid son?
Obviously, it has a lot to do with it.
As mentioned earlier, Jia Chong's daughter Jia Quan married Sima You, if Jia Nanfeng is chosen as Sima Zhen's crown princess, then Sima You is not only Sima Zhen's uncle, but also Sima Zhen's brother-in-law!
One more layer of kinship means less chance of cannibalism.
2, three treasures in life, the ugly wife thinly breaks the cotton jacket. Sima Zhen is an imbecile, Sima Yan is obviously not at ease with Sima Zhen's ability to succeed him, at this time, he will be equipped with a queen with excellent talent and ability, the emperor is weak and strong, and the Sima family can sit firmly?
3. The most critical point. The conversation between Sima Yan and Empress Yang Yan mentioned above, it can be seen that Sima Yan knows that Jia Chong's wife has few sons, and Wei Zong's wife has many children, which is undoubtedly the most important reason why Sima Yan chose the daughter of the Jia family as the crown princess.
Why?
Wei Qiang, the founding father of the Western Jin Dynasty, has great political power, and chooses Wei Qiang's daughter, who has many brothers and talents, as the crown princess of the stupid prince? I believe that Sima Yan still knows the lesson of the dictatorship of the Eastern Han Dynasty that led to the destruction of the country.
The son is stupid, so he has to match him with a daughter-in-law who is ugly and has few families. In this way, it is safe.
The above personal analysis, there is no lack of attachments, anyway, no matter what the reason, Jia Nanfeng has become the crown princess. It also triggered a major political accident that led to a sea change in China.
