"But there is a problem with this system, that is, Sima Yan only stipulates how much land can be given instead of how much can be given to you, how can there be Tian Sima Yan and the Western Jin Dynasty government don't care."

"There is also a very key clause in the land occupation system, the first grade official has the right to occupy 50 hectares of land, and each of the following products decreases by 5 hectares to 9 products occupy 10 hectares of land. The aristocratic bureaucracy can also shade relatives, more than nine clans, and less than three clans. ”

Li Shimin: In the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were fewer people and more land, and the contradictions in this system were not obvious.

Liu Che: Isn't this system even more conducive to the expansion of the gate lord clan!

Qin Shi Huang: These nobles can take advantage of this system to occupy more land, and even begin to grasp economic privileges, and after a long time, it feels like a big blow to the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Where is this going, not only the land system, but also the princes during Sima Yan's reign! How was this Eastern Han Dynasty divided? Give back so many rights to the princes?

Qin Shi Huang: That's not right! The Sima family himself is also from a gate valve, Sima Yan doesn't know this?

"Because the Western Jin Dynasty at that time followed Cao Wei's nine-product Zhongzheng system, but after Sima Yi took power, he set up the state Zhongzheng, and it continued to the Western Jin Dynasty."

"On the surface, it seems that the state power has further returned the power of the people in the election to the imperial court, which is conducive to cracking down on local nobles."

"But it also facilitated the expansion of the power of the wealthy clans, who controlled the local and even imperial court election system, which also made the clan stronger, which in turn threatened the authority of the emperor."

"The Sima family itself is also from a gate valve, can Sima Yan not know this? When he ascended the throne, because of this talent selection system, these families could threaten the imperial court, and after he ascended the throne, his position was unstable, and he had to rely on the help of these families, so he could only promote the princes to compete with these families, which was doomed to another chaos. ”

"The solid foundation laid by his ancestors allowed Sima Yan to finally pick the fruits of victory, but he did not have the courage to change the problems, so the Western Jin Dynasty also became the most special one in the Great Unification Dynasty."

"But Sima Yan is also a capable person, at least these problems did not break out when he was alive, but after his death, everything became uncontrollable, and Sima Yan was very mediocre in his later years."

"This brings us to Sima Yan, and another criticism is the late period of his reign."

"The dignified emperor actually took the lead in starting to indulge in prostitution and extravagance, and the people below began to follow suit when they saw it, so that the villain was in power, extravagant and wasteful, and the atmosphere was gradually corrupted."

For example, this minister's family uses 10,000 yuan to eat every day, and another minister's family must eat in all directions, and the daily meal cost reaches 20,000 yuan, which must be better than someone."

Sima Yan's uncle Wang Kai once competed with Shi Chong, the richest man at the time, to show off his wealth and boast of his beauty. It can be said that at the end of Sima Yan, the entire Western Jin Dynasty was in an extremely sick state. ”

Li Shimin: At that time, these families were really rich.

Liu Bang: I really want to know how to compete for pride.

Shi Chong and Wang Kai competed for power. Wang Kai washed the pot and syrup at home, and Shi Chong ordered his kitchen to use candles as firewood. ”

"In order to show off, Wang Kai sandwiched forty miles on both sides of the road in front of his house, and made a barrier with purple silk, and Shi Chong laid a fifty-mile barrier with more precious colored satin."

Emperor Wu of Jin was afraid that his family would lose, so he gave Wang Kai a coral tree more than two feet high in the palace, Shi Chong saw it and smashed the coral tree with iron Ruyi, Wang Kai was extremely angry, Shi Chong said: "Not enough to hate, now to pay back." So he ordered people to take out all their coral trees, and there were six or seven coral trees that were three or four feet high, each of which was larger than Wang Kai's.

In the end, it was the richest man Shi Chong who won and was called the "first rich". ”

Qin Shi Huang: It's quite rich, it's better than all of my food.

Li Longji: I don't have so many coral trees, such a big coral tree! I'm so envious!

As for Sima Yan's lustfulness, I have to talk about the story of "Sheep Cart Wangxing". ”

"He heard that the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River are different from those in the north, and they are delicate and beautiful, so he asked his subordinates to choose many beauties from the south of the Yangtze River to enter the palace as concubines, and indulge in lust morning and evening."

"There are many concubines in the harem, there are nearly 10,000 fans, and it has become a very headache which concubine to be lucky with every night."

So he came up with a solution, which was to sit in a sheep cart and let the sheep walk freely in the palace, and he would pamper the concubines wherever the sheep cart stopped.

"So a palace man put a bamboo branch on the door and sprinkled salt water on the ground, and the sheep stopped eating because they liked the taste of salt water, so the sheep cart stopped at the gate of her palace."

Because of this story, later generations will hope to be valued or favored by others, and it is called "sheep cart hope". ”

Cao Cao: The country of my Wei country was destroyed by such people?

Fusu: Addicted to women, absurd!

Zhao Kuangyin: This Sima Yan is very lustful, he once selected 5,000 virgins from middle-level and above officials and ordinary scholar families to enter the palace to serve himself, such a mediocre girl at that time, why didn't the second generation of the pit that Miss Zhang talked about at that time not have this.

Liu Bang: It's a lot of fun.

"The last controversial decision in Sima Yan's life is the arrangement of the afterlife, the ability of the heir Sima Zhen is worrying, and the important ministers Yang Jun and Sima Liang, who are ready to support the orphan, are also all kinds of disagreements, and these problems that Sima Yan can avoid during his lifetime have not been properly dealt with in the end, which led to the outbreak of chaos."

"Sima Yan's reign is mediocre, but after his death, he did not deal with the matter of the heir, so that the idiot son Emperor Jin Hui Sima Zhen took the throne, and Sima Yan chose the crown princess."

Liu Xiu: This is the foolish emperor?

Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhen, was the second son of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, who reigned from 290 to 307.

"The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was a civil strife caused by the struggle for central power by the imperial family during the Western Jin Dynasty in China, and was triggered by Empress Jia Nanfeng's interference in political power."

"The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was one of the most serious imperial civil strife in the history of the Flower Kingdom, when the social economy was seriously damaged, which led to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and nearly 300 years of turmoil, so that the northern part of the Central Plains entered the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms (Wuhu Chaohua)."

"This Sima Zhen was born to Sima Yan's queen, and the position of the crown prince must be established first, and the elder brother of the same mother died early at that time, and the younger brother below was too young, and the second place was Sima Zhen, and it was reasonable for him to inherit the position of crown prince."
