Chapter 229: Jin Zhun's Rebellion
As the Xiongnu Han Kingdom reached its peak, Sima Rui in the south, supported by the generals under his command, also successfully ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and pushed the team of the king and the horse to the peak.
With the turmoil of these years, capable Han people began to gradually appear on the stage of history.
First, Liu Tai and Gou Xi were at a stalemate on the Qingxu line, and the battle was inseparable, and then Li Gu and Liu Chang broke out in the battle of Xingyang, and at the same time, Zu Ti also cleaned up Yanzhou.
One of the most eye-catching is the Battle of Xingyang.
Liu Cong sent his cousin Liu Chang to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Xingyang, and Li Ju sent people to offer wine and meat to the Han army, pretending to surrender, and at the same time concealing the elite soldiers and strong generals, leaving the old and weak to confuse the Han army.
Liu Chang didn't know about the deception, he didn't take precautions, and held a feast to reward the soldiers of the whole army, and the generals were drunk.
That night, Li Ju ordered 1,000 warriors such as Guo Yu and Yang Zhang, who supervised Yang Zhang, to attack the Han camp, defeated the Han army and killed thousands, and captured countless armored horses.
At the same time, Guo Mo, the Taishou of Jin Hanoi, sent troops to reinforce Li Ju, and the troops pursued by night in three ways and won a complete victory.
Li Ju began to appear on the stage of history, and dispelled the sense of despair that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was almost suffocated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty since Liu Yao broke Chang'an and captured Sima brought about the collapse of the mansion, which was well publicized by the Jin court.
This made the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, wanting to swallow the world in one go, the momentum of swallowing the world eased slightly.
But the problem is that in a country like the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, there are unimaginably many internal contradictions.
It's easy to say when everyone works together to attack the outside world, but as soon as you stop, all kinds of contradictions will emerge.
Liu Cong and Liu Yi in the Xiongnu Han Dynasty, and the contradictions between Liu Yi and Liu Cang soon intensified.
The relationship here needs to be sorted out a little, and it even needs to be traced back to the Liu Yuan era.
First of all, Liu Yi's mother, Queen Shan, was originally Empress Liu Yuan, and after Liu Yuan's death, Liu He succeeded to the throne, but was killed by Liu Cong with troops in just a few days.
At that time, Liu Cong expressed humility and planned to make Liu Yi the emperor, even if Liu Yi had water in his head, looking at the bloody knife in Liu Cong's hand, it was impossible to agree to this kind of head-losing thing, naturally under the respect of his brothers, friends and brothers, Liu Cong succeeded to the throne smoothly.
But in order to show his generosity, Liu Cong named Liu Yi as the emperor's younger brother, saying that he would hand it over to his younger brother to inherit if he died.
Liu Yi agreed as soon as he was happy.
The next day, I saw Liu Cong coming out of the bedroom of his mother, Queen Shan, and then Liu Cong patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said:
"We will each talk about it in the future, you call me brother, and I will call your mother."
To tell the truth, the Huns, such a thing as a woman, it is normal for the father to die and the son to succeed, and the brother to the end.
Don't look at this thing with modern thinking, and you can't even use normal ethics to apply this kind of thing.
But the problem is that Liu Yi was illuminated by the light of the civilization of the Han family, and he hated this relationship, so he admonished his mother a few words, and then the Empress Dowager Shan died of shame.
Since then, Liu Cong has been very unhappy with Liu Yi, because in Liu Cong's opinion, this is what all khans have done since ancient times.
What do you want to do here, do you want to move the law of your ancestors, or do you want to see me unhappy!?
And Queen Huyan beside Liu Cong breathed a sigh of relief, she hoped that her son would seize the throne of the crown prince, seeing that this imperial brother had already been a thorn in the flesh, and decisively blew the pillow wind.
"The father dies and the son succeeds, and the ancient and modern ways are common. Your Majesty inherits the business of Gaozu (Liu Yuan), what is the younger brother! A hundred years after Your Majesty, the Zong brothers will have no seeds. β
Liu Cong heard that even if he didn't want to kill this younger brother at that time, his suspicion was inevitable after all.
What's more, Liu Cang has grown up and begun to grasp power.
As Liu Cong's successor, how can he allow an imperial brother to wander in front of his eyes, especially after accepting the Han culture, the inheritance of father and son is the right way.
As for the brother and brother, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the nomadic tribe at all, but for the Xiongnu high-level who have accepted the baptism of Han culture, this is instinctively in conflict with their traditional habit of only being strong and acting in the bone marrow.
All in all, because of the conflict between the Xiongnu culture and the Han culture, after the Xiongnu Han State laid down such a large piece of land, it began to face the first problem brought about by the conflict between the two cultures, that is, how to inherit it.
Liu Cang saw that Liu Cong had not solved this problem for a long time, so he immediately started to do it himself.
Liu Cang asked his henchman Wang Ping to trick Liu Yi and said, "According to Your Majesty's secret edict, there will be chaos in the Beijing Division, and you should wear armor in case of accidents." β
Liu Yi believed it to be true, or rather, Liu Yi didn't dare not believe it, this is not much different from the Golden Knife Scheme.
After all, if you don't do this, if Liu Cong knows about it in the future, as long as Liu Cong has a bad feeling for himself, then Liu Cong will also think that you are not loyal to yourself.
After all, Wang Ping's fake transmission of the secret decree, but don't you have a little bit of loyalty to the king?
Then Liu Yi was not only himself, but also made all the Eastern Palace ministers put on armor and get ready.
Liu Cang decisively sent someone to tell Jin Zhun and Wang Shen, and Jin Zhun reported to Liu Cong and said: "The emperor's younger brother is ready to make trouble, and his subordinates are already wearing armor. β
Liu Cong ordered Liu Cang to lead an army to surround the East Palace and send people to arrest him.
Liu Cang asked Jin Zhun and Wang Shen to arrest more than 10 chiefs of Di and Qiang who were under the orders of the East Palace, and tortured them, and the chiefs could not bear the torture and framed themselves and Liu Yi for rebellion, so they killed the subordinate officials of the East Palace, and killed Ping Su and Liu Yi for being close friends.
Jin Zhun, Wang Shen and others even took advantage of the situation to kill dozens of ministers who usually hated and resented them, and killed more than 10,000 soldiers.
Liu Cong looked at Liu Can's attitude of how much he could strain, how much he strained, could he not know the greasy inside?
But the problem is that this matter was originally what Liu Cong wanted to see, and Liu Cang did it like this, and he was just pushing the boat along the water.
Even if someone overturns Liu Yi's case in the future...... No, as long as the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms are still there, no one will overturn the case for Liu Yi.
It's as if the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty is still there, no one will overturn the case for Li Jiancheng, that is, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, there began to be such and such people to overturn the case for Li Jiancheng.
Therefore, Liu Cong took advantage of the situation to depose the identity of Liu Yi's imperial brother, changed the title of Beihai King, and set up Liu Cang as the crown prince, leading the position of prime minister and the title of Da Dan, and the chief regent was the same as in the past, and soon Liu Cang sent Jin Zhun to murder Liu Yi.
Jin Zhun took this opportunity to completely hug Liu Cang's thigh, but because he slaughtered the chieftains of Di and Qiang too ruthlessly, there was naturally a rebellion among them, and there were even Fu Hong and others among them, but Jin Zhun led the army to level it.
It can be said that because the conflict between the Han culture and the Xiongnu culture broke out slightly at this time, it caused a lot of turmoil.
But because Liu Cong, the emperor, was still there, this level of turmoil could not hurt the country, and after a certain rebel in Qingzhou took a look, he threw the war report aside, and strengthened his thoughts.
Liu Cong is still there, and the Xiongnu and Han States can still suppress any contradictions, but if Liu Cong dies, the ghost knows what will happen.
Next, the Xiongnu and Han did not have any external wars, but the country has always been chaotic.
Like Liu Cong, he made an old mistake and wanted to take Wang Shen's adopted daughter, and then set up him as his own queen of the left.
However, Shangshu ordered Wang Jian, Zhongshu Supervisor Cui Yizhi, Zhongshu Ling Cao Sui and others to admonish, and Liu Cong decisively received the inspection and sent them to the market, all of which were beheaded.
On the day of the execution, Wang Yan, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, went to the court to stop him, but Wang Shen insisted on stopping him and waited until the execution was completed to let the people go.
The person in charge of supervising Wang Jian's beheading happened to be Jin Zhun, and Wang Jian scolded without hesitation:
"Those who make the emperor and Han exterminate, sit on the rat generation and Jin Zhun'er, and you must sue the first emperor, and take you is equal to the underground!"
Jin Zhun pretended to be innocent and said: "I am edicted to collect you, why should I defile the country?" β
Cui Yizhi also scolded Jin Zhun: "Jin Zhun has a mirror-shaped voice, and it will be a national disaster." If you eat, let people eat you! β
The two were just scolded and killed by Jin Zhun not long after.
All in all, Liu Cong enjoyed himself, and Liu Cang and Jin Zhun Wang Shen teamed up to cover the sky above the court of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.
It's just that Liu Cong didn't enjoy it for long, but his body couldn't support it and died.
Before Liu Cong's death, he ordered Dazai Liu Jing, Da Sima Liu Ji, Taishi Liu Yi, and his father-in-law Jin Zhun to assist Liu Cang.
Liu Cang succeeded to the throne smoothly, although Jin Yuehua was canonized as the queen mother, but climbed into the queen mother's bed that night, and at the same time canonized Jin Zhun's other daughter as the queen, and Jin Zhun's other niece as the concubine, and all military affairs were entrusted to Jin Zhun.
As long as he is responsible for enjoying the wine pond and meat forest and feasting in the backyard, he will only know the happiness of the emperor when he finds himself the emperor!
Liu Cangyi was happy, and even canonized the six queens, but at the same time set up Liu Yuangong, the son of Empress Jin, as the crown prince, and the favor of the Jin family reached the point of no return, and no emperor in history would be so close to his courtiers.
And Jin Zhun was still not satisfied, because he found that the princes still had military power in their hands, so he decisively discussed with his queen mother and the queen's daughter.
"The ministers are now secretly plotting to depose the emperor and appoint Liu Ji (Liu Cang's younger brother, Da Sima), the king of Jinan, as the emperor.
If the incident happens, our Jin family will be killed to nothing, and you must take advantage of the opportunity to persuade Your Majesty to act as soon as possible. β
What insight do the two women have, they always feel that their father will never deceive themselves, and besides, his grandsons are all princes, what bad intentions can he have.
Suddenly, the two girls went up together, and frequently used their pillow wind on Liu Can, crying about the clan's bullying of their family.
Liu Cang cried when he saw the two beauties, compared with the beauties, what is a brother, what is a clan, what is a society, destroy it!
Liu Ji, King of Jinan, Liu Jing, King of Shangluo, Liu Li, King of Chu, Liu Kai, Duke of Changguo, Liu Xiao, King of Wu, etc., their own brothers and princes, actually killed all in one day!
And after Liu Cang has done all this, it can be said that Jin Zhun's family no longer has any checks and balances above the court.
Jin Zhun looked around, and suddenly felt that I was invincible with the court, and I didn't fight with the sky!
Therefore, Jin Zhun launched a coup d'Γ©tat and led his soldiers to break into the harem and kill Liu Can, and all the Liu royal families in the capital were beheaded in Dongshi.
He also dug up the tombs of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong, beheaded Liu Cong's body, and burned his temple.
Looking at the internal chaos of the Xiongnu, Beigong Chun wanted to call on the Han people to revolt and build a fortress in the East Palace.
It's just that he was disappointed, almost no Han people responded, and the uprising was easily suppressed by Jin Zhun, and Beigong Chun died.
To be honest, so far, everything is still normal, and it is just another court infighting that copied Sima Yi.
At most, he was too willing to give away all his daughters, and even his nieces took them.
But then it happened, so Liu Tai touched his head and thought about it, and he couldn't figure out what had happened inside for seven days and seven nights.
Jin Zhun first killed his own daughter Empress Jin, and then killed his own grandson, the crown prince Liu Yuangong.
Jin Zhun then claimed to be the "King of the Han Dynasty", respected the newly established Eastern Jin Dynasty, and wanted to hand over the jade seal of the country that was robbed by the former Zhao when the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed, and handed it over to Hu Song, a descendant of the Han and Jin Dynasty, to Jiangdong, and said to Sima Rui:
"Tu all the clowns dare to be kings, and the chaos of the Great Jin Dynasty makes the two emperors broadcast Yue. Today, send the second emperor Zi Palace in Jiangdong. β
Hu Song was confused, he didn't know what the purpose of this commonplace was, and he didn't dare to send the seal.
Seeing Hu Chong's hesitation, Jin Zhun thought that he was unfaithful and killed him with a sword, and sent others to Jiangdong to find Sima Rui.
Sima Rui was stunned when he heard the news, in this world, there is such a good thing?
With the mentality of giving it a try, he asked Taichang Han Yin to give it a try, and sure enough, he took back the coffins of Emperor Huai and Emperor Chu.
As for the heirloom jade seal, I don't know why, but it stayed.
Han Yin didn't dare to say anything, it would be very good to be able to bring back the coffins of the two emperors.
Sima Rui looked at the coffin for a while, feeling whether he was really destined to return, and fell into deep thought.
Sima Rui couldn't help but ask at the people around him, "Is this Jin family a Han person?" β
Liu Tai, who received the follow-up information, was also dumbfounded, and asked the people around him, "What is Jin Zhun trying to do?" β
Yes, Jin Zhun is not Han at all!
But what Jin Zhun did made all the Han people embarrassed.
If Jin Zhun is a Han Chinese, there will definitely be an idiom that is comparable to lying on the salary and tasting courage to describe Jin Zhun's unyielding loyalty and praise Jin Zhun's contributions.
But the problem is that Jin Zhun is a Xiongnu, and he is from the Jin tribe that has a long heritage.
Every step after he took power was so unexpected, a person with unparalleled patience and wisdom, and did things that surpassed his own family affection, clan, and even class, so that Liu Tai looked at it and even wondered if he was a saint?
For the first time, Liu Tai found that he had made a mistake in trying to judge a person by class.
The only thing Liu Tai could do was to respond to Liu Yao's rebellion against Jin Zhun and send some food through the Yellow River, after all, Jin Zhun's operation was really out of Liu Tai's logical range.
Liu Tai was afraid that he would be calculated by others, so he would be pulled into an unfamiliar environment, and then beaten to death by the other party with rich experience.
So it's relatively prudent.
Liu Yao was not polite, he decisively took over the throne, made a name, crusaded against Jin Zhun, and Shi Le was stationed in Hebei, and responded together to attack Pingyang.
Jin Zhun saw that the other party was powerful, so he sent Bu Tai, the servant, to make peace.
Liu Yao said: "Liu Cang is a faint monarch without a way, and you have no merit in killing him." As long as you surrender, I will count you as a meritorious servant. β
These words sounded good on the surface, but Jin Zhun knew that Liu Yao's mother and brother were all killed by himself.
If you surrender yourself, you will be afraid of more evil and less lucky.
Therefore, although his cousins Jin Ming and Jin Kang urged him to surrender, he kept hesitating.
But Jin Ming couldn't help it, and directly assassinated Jin Zhun, and his people jointly promoted Jin Ming as the master, and Jin Ming sent the national seal to Liu Yao, preparing to surrender Liu Yao.
Shi Le sent the main force to attack Pingyang, Jin Ming asked Liu Yao for help, and Liu Yao sent Jin Ming back.
Fifteen thousand scholars and girls returned to Liu Yao with Jin Ming, and after Liu Yao took over, he decisively beheaded all the men and women of Jin Ming's clan, so that this incredible Jin Zhun rebellion finally came to an end.
This chapter basically follows the history books, and the protagonist really doesn't dare to participate in this unbelievable game.
Don't look at this only one chapter, in fact, it's almost three years, and after this chapter, the protagonist has almost become an independent prince.
As for Jin Zhun, no matter how many times I read the history books, I don't understand what he thinks, and I have a feeling that the soul of the Han people is snatching away.
