Chapter 7 There are seven chaos in the Han and eight chaos in the Jin

Taking advantage of the chaos to take revenge seems to have become the norm in all previous coups in the Western Jin Dynasty, and it may have been learned from Pang De's son Pang Hui who took advantage of the chaos to slaughter Guan Yu's family. Sima Lun hated Zhang Hua and Pei Wei deeply, and sent people to arrest the two, as well as the other two ministers.

One of the two is called Xie Tie, and the other is called Tie, two brothers, from Jinan. Why were these two arrested?

In 291, when Sima Lun was guarding Guanzhong for the Western Jin Dynasty, he and Sun Xiu brutally exploited the Qiang and other ethnic minorities in Guanzhong, provoking the rebellion of the Di and Qiang ethnic groups. At that time, Xie was the assassin of Yongzhou, and he had a lot of complaints about Sima Lun and Sun Xiu's practices.

In order to better manage the place, the central government of the Western Jin Dynasty transferred back Sima Lun and appointed Sima Wei, the king of Liang, to replace Sima Lun as the general of the expedition to the west, and to supervise the military of Yong and Liang states.

The royal family made a mistake, and no one else could do anything except the emperor who really wanted to deal with it. However, it is a soft persimmon that can still be pinched. After Sima Lun was repatriated, Xie felt that further measures should be taken to appease the public anger of the people of the Di and Qiang ethnic groups - to kill Sun Xiu, and to write to the imperial court for this.

In the end, the imperial court did not approve it, and the Xie family made enemies with Sima Lun and Sun Xiu. If you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it. Zhang Hua, Pei Yi, Xie Tie, and Tie Tie were all arrested by Sima Lun this time.

Sima Wei, the king of Liang, was appointed as the general of the expedition to the west because of the recommendation of the four of them, and he also knew that the four of them were loyal ministers, so he hurriedly ran to Sima Lun to intercede for the four of them: The ninth brother is now in charge of the government, and he should be open-minded, how can he declare personal vendettas? !

I declare a personal vendetta? Sima Lun smiled slightly, and with a word, Sima Wei was embarrassed with red flowers on his face, and left in a sneer.

Sima Lun's sentence is: Saying that I have a personal vendetta, what is the matter around?

Around? That's right, it's the one who kills the tiger and kills the Jiao, from "suffering from the villagers" to the pillars of the country.

This matter has to start with Sima Wei, the king of Liang, replacing Sima Lun as the general of the expedition to the west and suppressing the rebellion of ethnic minorities such as Di and Qiang.

Zhou went from being "suffered by the villagers" to the evil of the young man, and after the prodigal son turned back, he became a central minister in the imperial history of the Western Jin Dynasty and an important minister in the court. According to "The World Speaks New Words", Zhou learned that the villagers were actually disgusted with themselves, so they asked themselves to kill the tiger and kill the Jiao, and prepared to get rid of the third evil together, so he was very depressed and went to Lu Ji and Lu Yun to ask for help.

Qinghe (Lu Yun did the history of Qinghanoi) said: The ancients died at night, and the future of the emperor is acceptable. And if people don't stand up, why worry about making their names evil? After the punishment, he was encouraged, and finally became a loyal minister.

Look, "The World Speaks New Words" is conclusive.

In fact, this is just a beautiful legend invented by the story club "The World Speaks New Words". Zhou Chu was born in 240 and Lu Yun was born in 262, when Zhou Chu was young, Lu Yun was not born or a child.

The personality is relatively stable, the personality is unstable, and it is basically psychotic. Dare to kill the tiger and cut the Jiao, the character of the straight man of steel has not changed.

In 280, Wang Hun, one of the heroes of the Western Jin Dynasty, deliberately invited the old ministers of Eastern Wu to drink, and ridiculed during the banquet: You are all people who have lost the country, aren't you sentimental? (Do you have nothing to do with the loss of the country?) ）

A victor looking at a captive. In fact, there is no need to respond to this kind of ridicule, first, it is indeed a winner, which is a fact; The second is to satisfy the vanity of the other party, and the other party will give up. Everyone invited was timid or embarrassed, and they were all silent, only one stunned Qing replied: Wei Shu and Wu are dead, where to be sad? And it was the Wei State that died first, and the Wu State died later.

Yes, you Wang Hun is now a Jin minister, and you follow Boss Sima, didn't you also follow Boss Cao of Wei before? Wang Hun was choked with a gray nose, and his face was pale. That's right, this stunned young man is Zhou, he is an old minister of Eastern Wu.

The straight man of steel, Zhou Chu, was an official in the Western Jin Dynasty in the future, and he was still known for his integrity. After becoming the director of the Supervision Commission, Zhou was merciless when he picketed and impeached officials, offending a number of important ministers, and Sima Wei, the king of Liang, was also listed, and the two formed a relationship.

After Qi Wannian, the leader of the Northwest Di tribe, led his headquarters to rebel against the Jin Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty court ordered the general of Zhengxi and the king of Liang, Sima Wei, to lead an army to suppress it. When matching the military command and leadership team, a "heavy minister" came out and proposed: Zhou is brave and can go out together.

Brave? This "important minister" must have felt the bravery of impeachment everywhere. Sima Wei and Zhou were not on good terms, the court knew it, and how old was Zhou at that time? 56 years old. Nearly a sixtieth year to charge into battle? The motives behind this proposal are terrifying.

The old friends of Soochow are well aware of the danger and come up with ideas for Zhou: it is better to resign and not go under the pretext that there is an old mother at home.

Everywhere will always maintain the true character of a straight man: since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, first loyalty.

How could he not have known that he was in danger? But the way to be a minister is to eat the monarch and repay the gentleman's kindness. In this way, Zhou was appointed as General Jianwei, subordinate to the Anxi General Xiahou Jun, and went out with Sima Wei.

After Qi Wannian learned about the leadership structure of the Jin army, he instantly judged the situation: Sima Wei and Xiahou Jun are both relatives of the emperor, and fighting a war is a name, so there is no need to worry. "If he (Zhou) leads the army alone, he will be unstoppable. If you are controlled by others, you will definitely be captured by me."

A person of the Di nationality knows so much about the Han people, which makes people feel emotional. After all, there shouldn't have been a story of "three monks have no water to eat" at that time, right?

In the face of the Jin army, Qi Wannian garrisoned 70,000 troops in Liangshan, which was roughly located in the current Qianxian County, Shaanxi. Sima Wei ordered Zhou to lead 5,000 soldiers to attack.

Five thousand active attack seventy thousand? Hehe, this is to make me the second Li Ling (5,000 foot soldiers against 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry). Zhou knew that he would be defeated, but he still fought bravely to kill the enemy, and finally fought to the death at the age of 59.

In the early years, he was rampant in the countryside and was a well-known bully; After waking up, he killed the tiger for the villagers; After the prodigal son turned back and entered the official career, he was ruthlessly calculated to death by the powerful. A bleak portrayal of a well-known grassroots struggle for a lifetime.

The rivers and lakes are sophisticated, and only by mixing the rivers and lakes can we better serve the country and the people? In his position, he seeks his government, is upright, and eats Junlu to repay Jun's kindness? In any era, there are around, and there is Sima Wei, in the end, which values are good, everyone in the world has their own independent views, and there is no need to force it.

The Jin court posthumously presented Zhou as the general of Pingxi, and his nickname was filial piety. Everyone is dead, and no one cares about what to posthumously, no one cares, but inside and outside the court, they all know the causes and consequences of Zhou's death. Now, although Sima Lun's ability to govern is the last, his ability to scare people is first-class, and he uses the things around him to scare Sima Wei, and the effect is excellent. This King of Liang was dumbfounded for a while, and his face was full of red purple, so it was not easy to care about Zhang Hua, Pei Yi, untie the tie, and untie the knot.

All four were eventually killed.

It is worth pondering that this Xie system, who once served as the assassin of Yongzhou, pretended to be deaf and dumb when he asked for help in Zhou, and he did not move, and now he is ......

And Pei Yan, his father-in-law was Wang Rong, one of the famous Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, who was Situ of the Western Jin Dynasty at that time, and was also dismissed. Wang Rong's father is Wang Hun, one of Zhou's rivals.

It's really a karmic set. However, among the people who were attached to Jia Nanfeng, there was also a peerless master who saved his life.

The officer of the forbidden army in the original hall, Meng Guan.

Meng Guan participated in the quelling of the rebellion of Qi Wannian with Sima Wei and made the first contribution. He was sleek and sleek, and bribed Sun Xiu with a lot of money. The two most important ruling officials, one is the former direct leader in charge, and the other is the most trusted person around the leader, who also helps himself speak, can he save his life?

Not only can you save your life, but you can also be promoted. Meng Guan took a two-pronged approach, Sima Lun not only did not kill him, but also crowned him as General Annan.

However, Meng Guanhou also died in the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings". is born, and he will eventually be a ghost, but he is just competing with who is the first to drop the water and who is the first to swallow. It's boring to think about.

In 300, Jia Nanfeng was demoted to a concubine and went to the place where she sent her mother-in-law eight years ago and the prince to --- Kim Yong Cheng ten days ago. Jia Nanfeng ordered the imperial physician to develop a pair of toxic compounds with complex compositions for the prince, and Sima Lun was much simpler, and directly gave her a cup of poisonous wine brewed by traditional craftsmanship.

A generation of ugly queen Sister Feng died, at the age of 43, where she poisoned the prince and starved her mother-in-law Yang Zhi.

Still not believing in karma?

Sima Lun gained power, and Sun Xiu also ascended to heaven. The ugly queen was abolished and killed, and the two discussed setting up another beautiful queen for Sima Zhen. This person is the granddaughter of Sun Xiu's same clan Sun Yi and the daughter of the right servant of the Taishan Goat Clan, Yang Xuanzhi. This woman was abolished and set up, and she was the queen 6 times, and the emperor's husband spanned the Han and Hu tribes, and the legend of her life experience is rare in the world. More on that later.

Power is the best aphrodisiac. Sun Xiu, who was powerful, swelled his heart, and after introducing his wife to the emperor, he also set his sights on a super beauty.

Green Pearl, the favorite concubine of Shi Chong, a giant in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Shi Chong, the son of Shi Bao, the founding father of the Western Jin Dynasty, became rich by plundering rich merchants in Jingzhou. The brilliant record is that he once defeated the emperor's uncle Wang Kai in the activity of comparing the rich, and the real wealth is comparable to the country, which can be called Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin of the Western Jin Dynasty, and Xu Jiayin of Luoyang City.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are sufficient and knows honor and disgrace, and material civilization determines spiritual civilization. Shi Chong purchased the Jingu industry in Heyang, twenty miles north of Luoyang City, recruited people from the world, and formed the Jingu Literature Society, with Jia Mi as the president, Shi Chong as the secretary general, Pan Yue, Zuo Si, Liu Kun and others as members, and the number of Jingu Twenty-four Friends.

Shi Chong is not only good at recruiting literati, but his subordinates are also beautiful, but they are basically treated as playthings or tools, or even animals. Once, Wang Dao and Wang Dun, the "double walls" of the Langyu Wang family, went to Shi Chong's house to drink, and the brothers experienced an extremely bloody and terrifying scene.

During the banquet, Shi Chong asked the two beautiful concubines to toast the two brothers. Wang Dun: I don't want to drink anymore.

The beautiful concubine who toasted immediately lost her soul and collapsed to the ground like mud. Sure enough, a house slave immediately rushed out from behind the screen, dragged the beautiful concubine away, beheaded her with a knife, and stained the lobby with blood. It seems that this has become a routine in Shi Chong's family.

Wang Dun was hard-hearted, but he still didn't drink, so the three beautiful concubines who persuaded him to drink died one after another. Director Wang is a kind person, even if the amount of wine is limited, he endures the dry cup by cup, and persuades his younger brother Wang Dun: Drink it, otherwise you will die.

Wang Dun: He killed his own family, what does it have to do with me?

Shi Chong and Wang Dun are beasts? Almost. However, what is hidden behind cruelty is not just as simple as drinking, persuading alcohol, and killing people.

Wang Dun is not only an outstanding representative of the Langyu Wang clan of the scholar clan, but also has a special identity - the son-in-law of Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, the uncle of the crown prince Sima Shu, and belongs to the prince's party. And Shi Chong, the Jingu Literary Society funded by him, let Jia Mi be the president, and it can naturally be seen that he is Jia Nanfeng's party.

Shi Chong coerced Wang Dun to drink by killing his concubine, and behind it was the political struggle between the queen party and the princelings, which was more cruel than murder. He wanted to frustrate the spirit of the prince and his party at the banquet and show loyalty to the Jia family.

Things are not scarce or expensive, Shi Chong regards the beautiful concubines under him like a mustard, except for one person.

Green beads.

Luzhu's original surname was Liang, and he was born at the foot of Shuangjiao Mountain in Baizhou, which is now Luzhu Town, Bobai County, Guangxi Province.

In ancient times, the people of Yue Di believed that pearls were treasures, and the local daughters were called pearl niang, and the sons were called pearls. Shi Chong passed by Luzhu's hometown when he went to Vietnam (Cochin) on an errand, and got this peerless beauty, at the cost of ten pearls.

Whenever the Jingu Literature Club held an event, Shi Chongdu asked Lu Zhu to come out to blow the flute and sing for everyone, and kept the finale track, which was "Ming Jun" written and composed by Lu Zhu himself. "Ming Jun", with Zhaojun out of the plug as the background, hundreds of turns, melodious, pleasing to the ears and eyes, can be called the hottest version of Douyin that can make the ears pregnant.

Who doesn't want to participate in such cultural exchange activities as poetry and wine, and listening to girls sing karaoke? At each meeting, the 24 members were basically in full attendance and were not absent.

Sun Xiu had been coveting Green Bead for a long time, but given Shi Chong's status, he could only be obscene before. Now I'm finally gaining momentum, Green Bead, I'm coming.

Sun Xiu sent someone to ask Shi Chong for green beads. Shi Chong was very resolute: These concubines under my command, Sun Xiu can do whatever he wants, but the green bead girl is my heart's meat and can't be given.

Sun Xiu touched his nose with a gray nose, and his color heart suddenly became murderous. How to clean up Shi Chong? Sun Xiu decided to start with one of the members of the Literary Society.

Ouyang Jian, Shi Chong's nephew and one of the twenty-four friends of Jingu, is the author of "Deathbed Poems" and "Theory of Words and Intentions", which put forward the ancient materialist dialectical viewpoint, which is very rare. Why?

Don't forget, the mainstream culture of the Western Jin Dynasty is metaphysics, and as a materialist, it is rare to be able to become good friends and pen pals with a group of metaphysicians.

Of course, whether there is a natural adhesive big beauty green bead factor in this is up to the benevolent and the wise.

Sun Xiu told Sima Lun that Ouyang Jian persuaded Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, to rebel. Sima Lun obeyed his words and immediately hunted and killed Shi Chong and Ouyang Jian.

Throughout the history of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there are only two peerless beauties who can make the royal nobles want the country and their lives, one is a green pearl; Another? "The little pity jade body is lying in the night, and it has been reported to Zhou Shi to enter Jinyang", which will be recounted later.

Green beads, not only have a peerless face, but also a beautiful soul, she made a move that made the world sigh--- jumped off the building to martyrdom for Shi Chong.

With the martyrdom of this beauty, Shi Chong can be regarded as able to smile at Jiuquan. The Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's poem "Golden Valley Garden" adds infinite sighs to this history:

Prosperity scatters the fragrance and dust

The flowing water is ruthless and the grass springs

The east wind complains about the birds

Falling flowers are like people falling from a building

The green bead beauty died, and the handsome guy Pan (Pan An) was not spared, and was wiped out by Sima Lun, because he was a friend of Shi Chong and Jia Mi, and he was also attached to Jia Nanfeng.

On the day of the execution, Shi Chong and Pan An met at the execution ground. Shi Chong sighed with emotion: It turns out that you can't help it.

Pan An: It can be described as "the same place for white heads".

Pan An once made a poem in "Jin Gu Ji Composed Poems" "Cast and send stone friends, and the white head returns together" to show the deep friendship between the two, but unexpectedly, a word became a prophecy that the two met at the execution ground.

At the moment when the executioner's butcher's knife was raised, Pan An turned his head to look at his mother, who was also waiting for the execution, and suddenly burst into tears: Negative mother, negative mother.

At this moment, perhaps, Pan An realized how good it is to be willing to be indifferent and be an ordinary person.

More than 100 years after his death, a literary and artistic celebrity who was as talented as him and had a better background wrote "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan", "Wealth is not my wish, the emperor's hometown is unexpected", resigned from the seal, lived in seclusion in the countryside, and indulged in the landscape. Hospice.

What's more worth mentioning is that the version of "Twenty-four Filial Piety" circulated among the people in the Tang and Song dynasties originally had the story of Pan An's "abandoning the official and serving his mother", but later when the Song dynasty Guo Jujing re-edited the "Twenty-four Filial Piety", considering that when Pan An was razed to the three tribes, Pan An's old mother was not spared from being killed, so Guo Jujing removed Pan An from "Twenty-four Filial Piety" and replaced it with the story of Zhu Shouchang in the Song Dynasty who abandoned the official to find his mother.

This is the end of the internal strife in the Sima family. Sima Lun became the temporary victor, and in terms of generation, he inherited Sima Zhen's throne, in fact, his grandfather inherited his grandson. Grandpa honored his grandson as the emperor, which is the only case in Chinese history.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you. What kind of grandson are you pretending to be grandparents? The Sima family has always belonged to an unstable ethnic group, and Sima Yun, the king of Huainan (Sima Yan's ninth son), raised an army to rebel in 300, wanting to kill Sima Lun and Sun Xiu to seize power.

Rebellion requires confidence, and Sima Yun's confidence comes from a special forces raised under his command. Sima Yun brought more than 700 soldiers from the fiefdom of Huainan, about these more than 700 people, the original text of the Book of Jin: Yun's generals are all Huainan wizard swordsmen.

It turns out that they are all martial arts masters.

Although the Huainan wizard swordsmen are all good at swordsmanship, they can carry light weapons, without ramming the city hammer, and when they want to rush into the palace, the palace gate is closed and they can't enter. Then turn around and besiege Sima Lun's prime minister's mansion in Luoyang City.

700 swordsmen chopped, chopped, stabbed, and picked, killing more than 1,000 Sima Lun soldiers in a row, rushed to the front of Chenghua, and finally saw Sima Lun.

Finding the target and wanting to kill him quickly, the wizard swordsmen did not use their swords, but switched to a long-range offensive weapon, arrows, and fired arrows in a random manner.

In a hurry, Sima Lun's subordinate Sima Wei secretly used his body to block arrows for Sima Lun, and instantly became a big hedgehog. Sima Lun and the others hid behind the big tree, and the tree was instantly nailed into a cactus, and the arrows were still shooting like a swarm of out-of-control locusts.

The sharp and terrifying whistling sound of the flying arrows made Sima Lun's soul scatter, and he saw that Sima Lun was about to turn into a big hedgehog and a little porcupine, and he would die in Chenghuamen.

If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you will die suddenly. The experience of the ancestors is always summed up so accurately.

Chen Hui, an officer of the Prince Guard, and his elder brother, Chen Huai, were staunch supporters of Sima Yun. Chen Huai is a Zhongshu order, and he is ready to take advantage of his position to take out an artifact from the palace and solve Sima Lun at once.

Su Yu Banner, this artifact was introduced earlier, and Chen Huai, who was responsible for dismissing the troops, wanted to fight quickly. But he forgot one thing in a hurry.

Sima Lun's son, Sima Qian, was in the palace at that time.

Sima Qian was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, after learning about Chen Huai's plan, he was agitated, and immediately thought of a countermeasure to save his father Sima Lun.

Sima Qian hurriedly found a person in the palace, Sima Governor Fu Yin, Sima Qian's friend.

No matter how good a friend is, he must have a consideration for doing great things, and no matter how expensive the offer is, he must agree to it when his life is at stake. Sima Qian quickly negotiated a good price with Fu Yin - after the matter was completed, he was promoted to a big position and increased his salary.

For people who have worked at the bottom all their lives and have not been promoted and raised for a long time, the allure of this promise is as great as rotting flesh is to flies. Fu Yin immediately led 400 cavalry out of the palace, holding a fake Yu flag, and went straight to Sima Lun's mansion.

When Sima Yun saw Fu Yin, he thought that Chen Huai had sent him to help in the war. Fu Yin said that there was an edict to read, and those who had the chance to win were easy to relax their vigilance, and Sima Yun did not suspect that there was fraud, so he got off the chariot and received the edict. With the good wish of being promoted to a big position and increasing his salary, Fu Yin cut off Sima Yun's head with a knife.

Sima Yun's stiff smile was still hanging on his head as he left his body, and he rolled in front of the wizard swordsmen under him. No matter how good a swordsman is, if he leaves the organization, he will also be hit by the group attacker. Soon, the leaderless swordsmen died and scattered, and Sima Yun's action against Sima Lun was a failure.

For the rest of his life, Sima Lun was full of confidence, and in 301, he simply officially abolished the foolish emperor Sima Zhen and established himself as the emperor.

Sima Lun's only advantages are good background and good bloodline, and the disadvantages? Countless. The most prominent thing is the low ability to govern, otherwise when he was guarding Guanzhong for the general of Zhengxi, he would not have made a mess of local governance and triggered a large-scale rebellion of ethnic minorities.

What should I do if my management ability is not good? The second generation of officials has their own way, that is, to reward and buy people's hearts. At that time, the official's crown and clothing were to use mink tails, and suddenly so many people were rewarded at once, and the mink tails were insufficient, so what to make up? Yes, you must have thought of it, Dogtail.

The people of the time jokingly said: "The mink is insufficient, and the dog's tail continues", which is the allusion of "the dog's tail continues to mink".

Of course, some people who are not satisfied with the ruling power of people with low quality, especially those who were originally on an equal footing with them. The Sima family, the most unstable ethnic group, the three kings of Qi, Sima Ying, Chengdu, and Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, raised troops to fight against Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and the clans of the Western Jin Dynasty began to bite each other. Sima Lun and Sun Xiuhou both died due to the chaos, but the killing did not stop. This is the famous "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" in history.

There was the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty and the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, perhaps, this is the real origin of the "chaos".

The intervention of the ugly queen Jia Nanfeng led to the occurrence of the "Eight Kings Rebellion". The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression only lasted for 8 years, how long did this fratricidal war between the Sima family last? Twice as much as the War of Resistance Against Japan, one kill is 16 years. The Western Jin Dynasty clan became more and more depleted, and the alien races began to brew rebellions, and an unprecedented catastrophe was about to sweep through northern China.

A modern family saying: Giving birth to a bad son will harm your whole family at most; And giving birth to a bad daughter is harming other people's whole family.

Lao Wang said: This is true.
