The changes in Taishigong period and the establishment of a prince to help Yang were all stress reactions under the background of the gentry shaking the imperial power. Liang Wudi tried his best to maintain the imperial power, but the Sima family itself was the representative of the gentry. In the process of obtaining this position, disputes between kings are inevitable. Beijing gentry's pursuit of power will inevitably form various factions, and the lack of reverence for the emperor elected by the gentry will naturally contribute to chaos. Hui Di's situation alone would have been chaotic without Jia Nanfeng. Hui Di is a fool, which is the root of the unrest. This clay idol can't hold power in his own hands. Of course, the powerful princes in the four directions will peep at the imperial power. Unless he ascended the throne, there will be a powerful minister to take charge of state affairs. From God's point of view, Sima Yan can only stabilize the situation by letting the two brothers, King Wei of Chu and King Wa of Changsha, master the central government. Whether they will usurp the throne, but they really have the ability to control the situation. The ability of other princes is really bad.

East China Sea is adjacent to Langya, and Si Marui cooperates with Sima Yue.
Public opinion-oriented and autocratic, killing Yang means that everyone thinks he is too overbearing and autocratic. Fu only says that it is unfair, so Yang is evil, and everyone goes to * * * to fight for credit. Yang is a consort, and the military industry can't do without authority, but killing is outrageous, so Sima Wei paused after receiving the imperial edict, didn't say killing them, but dismissed him, but servants in general still killed him, which became Sima Wei's public opinion orientation. The older generation is left with Prince Zhao and Liang Wang in Thailand and Sima Yue's father. The family is dictatorial! However, when Jia fornicated and killed the prince, his authority was completely lost, and the Jia family had no powerful consorts. Jia Mo and Zhang Hua also plotted to abolish the queen. Jia killed the prince, and the prince of Zhao became famous, but his reputation was too smelly and his prestige was not enough. He rebelled and rebelled, and then the major clans competed for hegemony.
Basically, the whole ancient history is like this, and this system will inevitably lead to the transfer of power and the inevitable killing. The whole ancient history is basically to establish political power and recuperate. Concentration of power leads to excessive concentration of economic resources, and social unrest breaks out when power is handed over, which leads to war, overthrow and reconstruction, and rest. What remains the same is samsara.
The real source of chaos is why we don't eat minced meat. Sima Zhong, whether unconscious or violent, is better than a puppet at the mercy of the whole person. The emperor's authority completely disappeared, which is the root of the power struggle of the king of San Francisco behind him. With Sima Fanwang's urine, Jia Nanfeng would not kill the prince, but he would also try to return to Luoyang to grab the class and seize power.

Eight kings relationship diagram
Sima Shi can only engage in intrigue, and the rule of the country will be finished. It was too easy for Sima Yan to win this country by relying on the intrigues played by his predecessor. The root of the Eight Kings Rebellion lies in him, and mediocre people govern the country! As for Sima Zhong, Germany is unworthy, and the author feels sorry for him. However, millions of biped sheep don't think so. When he was emperor, the country was corrupt, and he fully inspired everyone's ambitions. In those days, Chen Sheng shouted that governors would rather have seeds. Now with Sima Zhong's appearance, an idiot can be an emperor! From then on, birth, wealth, ability and even intelligence are no longer obstacles to being an emperor, only one person needs to meet the conditions!
Sima You and Sima Yan Dou are the sons of Si Mazhao. Sima You's personality, prestige and ability overwhelmed Sima Yan in all aspects, and Si Mazhao repeatedly wanted to replace his successor with Sima You. Only Sima You had already been adopted by Si Mazhao to his younger brother Sima Shi, and the adoption could not be taken back, so he gave up. Sima Yan is very successful in the planning committee, but he bears a grudge against Sima You because of his father's attitude, so he is careful everywhere. At that time, Sima You was also respected in North Korea and had many supporters. Although Sima Yan knew that Sima Zhong was a fool, out of selfishness, he didn't want Sima You to succeed him. Sima Zhong's son is very clever, and he wants to let Jiangshan finally fall into the hands of his grandson. That's why he forced his brother to death and found a bunch of 250 to assist a fool's coquettish operation.
In fact, many powerful ministers are afraid of female dictatorship, especially the empress dowager in the harem. If there is a woman who can stir up the beam to curb the forces of all parties in the power alternation, the original dynasties will be handed over smoothly, such as Wu Zetian of the Western Han Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Xiao Taihou of the Northern Song Dynasty and Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty (this is a matter of the times, not particularly obvious). Without them, these dynasties may end early.
Jia Nanfeng did live up to expectations and can persist for nine years. She really shouldn't have killed Sima Yu If Sima Yu is better, there may be hope. Some people speculate that Sima Yan passed on Sima Zhong because he also took a fancy to Sima Yi. Sima Zhong, an idiot, didn't even know he had such a son. Sima Yu's talent is concentrated in business, and Jia Nanfeng is not satisfied with him.
In the face of the prisoner's dilemma of rights and self-protection, in fact, no one can do better than the Eight Kings. The example is Liu Qing Sima Ai. The inevitability lies in the historical retrogression of the enfeoffment system (Monday morning quarterback haha), and the root cause lies in Sima Yi's "wrong country". The reason why quotation marks are added lies in who is not the ultimate winner in power struggle and war. Should Sima Yi be led to the slaughter of Cao Shuang's generation? No matter Sima Jia or Cao Jia, anyone can do this math problem. It's just a pity that Sima and Cao are a little less. Liu Bei and the monarch minister of Wuhou knew each other, otherwise it might be another ending.
This should reflect the relationship between the eight kings more intuitively.
In fact, it is Sima Ying and Zhang Fang who have a hard time with her. King Changsha was very kind when he was in power. Sima Ying made an excuse and started to fight without fault, saying that Yang Xuanzhi, Yang's father, was a bad man, in order to "clear the monarch's side". This time, Wang Hejian also sent Zhang Fang to attend. Therefore, when they saw the sheep, they abandoned it once. In order to draw a clear line with the rebellious king, the court asked them to stand up once after seeing the sheep, and then they barked and barked. They have more opportunities to see it.
It is said that the Eight Kings Rebellion is actually very important to Huainan Wang, Dongan Wang, Xinye Wang and Dong Bang Gong, and then Lao, Liang Wang, Qin Wang and Qinghe can't get around it, so more than a dozen Sima are worthy of being named. Coupled with the peripheral forces of the queen, the simplified forces of the queen mother and my conference semifinals, the separatist warlords, rebel forces, local clan forces, the adherents of the State of Wu, and the whole people fought wildly. The simplification of the main line can be recorded as: the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wang Zhao's usurpation, 2+X mode, and the death March. Daughter-in-law and mother-in-law fought, and the derivative incident killed two kings, Master Liang and brother, and then stopped in 1989. The white woman Lun Ye was kicked out of the throne by five kings, and the third one was hanged. Then there are two plus X's, and the other is Hejian King in the west and Chengdu King in the north (don't ask me why Chengdu King is in the north). X has Cheng Jiong, Changsha Wang Zhengyi fork and big slick old man. At the end of the battle, everyone died except old Yue Yue. When old Yue Yue arrived, loyalist had been hanged by conference semifinals. Finally, old Yue Yue died. On the way to March, the last Central Army was cut by Hu Bingcao. The Eight Kings Rebellion ended in everyone's death, because cowardice was ignored. In the end, Sima Rui turned to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the former site of Wu State, becoming the first emperor to lick the country's founding in the history of China.
Paradoxically, husband and wife have deep feelings, and kindness and love for their children are personal virtues and feelings, but the king is not. Emperor Gaozu abandoned his wife and children, Liang Wudi forced his parents to rebel, Emperor Taizong killed his younger brother and forced his father, Song Taizong made the sound of a candle and axe, and Emperor Yongzheng took away his nephew's position ... It turns out that those in power need to be highly sensitive to power control, so-called "planning the future". The world is full of plans, but compassion is hard to survive! The great division of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties has always been the most uncertain historical period in China. Thanks to Tai Shigong, "taking history as a mirror" has now become everyone's knowledge. The choice of wise men in history can naturally inspire us. If you read more history, you will indeed find many "routines" or "historical laws" in the grand narrative. This feeling is great! It seems that this is so-called wisdom.
General Sima's experience
The approximate timetable of the Eight Kings Rebellion
Emperor Wu of song is not a vulgar mediocrity. The Book of Jin said that he was "magnanimous and had the talent of an emperor." It should be said that there is no perfect power structure in the world According to my personal observation, the enfeoffment system is not as terrible as everyone thinks. As long as it is a system of enfeoffment, it will be turbulent. However, after Sima Yan's death, the central court was in turmoil for the first time, and the local captaincy saw the opportunity. Moreover, 89 years after Jia Nanfeng killed Sima Yi, the country was relatively stable, and the enfeoffment system was not an inevitable source of chaos. Finally, even in the case of turmoil, the supreme power is still in the hands of the Sima family. This is consistent with the original intention of Si Mazhao and Sima Yan to construct the enfeoffment system. Not as easy to be caught as Cao Shijia. However, if we really take this so-called wisdom too seriously, equate "taking history as a mirror" with "nothing new under the sun" and think that we can copy historical experience and solve current problems like a set of formulas, it would be a big mistake.
This wave of infighting in Sima's family almost destroyed the Han nationality. Fortunately, the Southern Han Dynasty survived the emergence of Emperor Wendi, and the Northern Han Dynasty regained power with centuries of wisdom. . The Han regime in the south is weaker than one. At the beginning, the Liu and Song Dynasties were able to hit Luoyang, and the last Chen Dynasty was already in the south of the Yangtze River. The most dangerous thing is that strategic places such as Sichuan Huguang are rebelling. . If Emperor Wendi did not seize power and return to the Han Dynasty, the regime of the Han Dynasty would be enslaved not far away.
The change of territory during the Eight Kings Rebellion
The history we see is a collection of recorded events. The editor of history books has no God's perspective. He can only choose what he thinks is reasonable from the existing records. In other words, what we see is the truth, but it is probably not the whole truth. What's more, sometimes these editors are forced by the situation or indulge in interests, artificially writing, whitewashing and discrediting. Historical records are not always facts, at least not all facts. How to choose and analyze them will test the skills of future generations. We see that some choices in history seem incomprehensible and far from optimal solutions. Please don't label them stupid first, it is very likely that the parties know information you don't. If you want to use history as a magic lamp and solve problems according to gourd painting, you often can't achieve the expected results.
There are different variables in the formula ... For example, Sima Yanguang mentioned in this article, he didn't want to repeat the mistake of the decline of Wei imperial clan and being usurped by a foreign surname, and tried his best to protect his confidant with his arms and thighs. As a result, he suppressed the foreign surname but could not prevent the imperial clan. As for Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, he restored the mining field and the three generations of ancient system; Wen Jian, for example, imitated Han Jing to cut off the vassals, but the result was all lost and chaotic. Therefore, when it comes to "taking history as a mirror", future generations need to be extremely modest and cautious, carefully analyze the pros and cons, and not sell themselves short. Buddhism has the concepts of "convenience" and "correct treatment", which I think can be well explained. Many measures were "convenient to deal with" the shortcomings at that time. If this "convenience" is regarded as a panacea for all diseases and all the reasons are understood, it would be a big mistake.
