The story of the emperor: the stupid emperor died of poisonous cake

Sima Yi, Si Mazhao and Sima Yan are all prodigies, but Sima Zhong, the son of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, is completely retarded. However, it happened that he was the eldest son, so he was made a prince.

How can a retarded person be a good emperor? Therefore, many ministers advised Emperor Wu to abolish the position of the prince, and Emperor Wu was also very embarrassed, because Sima Zhong's mother, Queen Yang's family, was very powerful, and it would be very troublesome to abolish her son casually. So Emperor Wu wanted to give it a try, so he gave Sima Zhong a roll of official documents to show him.

Supposedly, Sima Zhong doesn't approve official documents, but his wife Jia Nanfeng is a very clever person. Knowing that the emperor was examining the prince, she found a eunuch to write an answer sheet and asked Sima Zhong to copy it down and give it to him. Emperor Wu read it, and although the answer was not up to standard, he finally got it all. It seems that it is not too stupid, so there is no abolition of the prince.

Another reason why Emperor Wu did not abolish the status of Prince Sima Zhong was that the Prince had an extremely clever son named Sima Yi, who was born to Xie Mei, a gifted scholar of Emperor Wu. One night, there was a fire in the palace, and the flames went up to the sky, reflecting the outside of the palace. Sima Yan went to The Upper Terrace to watch the fire. Sima Yu was only five years old then. When he saw Sima Yan standing in a bright place, he pulled his sleeve and walked to a dark place, and said, "If something happens suddenly in the palace at night, you should prevent unexpected changes. You shouldn't stand in a bright place and let others see you. " Sima Yan admired Sima Yi very much and thought he was unusual, just like his grandfather Sima Yi, so he gave up the idea of ousting Sima Zhong.

How can a talented person of Emperor Wu give birth to a son of a prince? It turned out that the prince didn't understand men and women at first, so although there were many women in the palace, there were no children. Fearing that the prince could not be reborn, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a gifted scholar to the prince to teach him about sex by example.

As a result, under such education, Xie Cairen became pregnant, and several women in the womb also became pregnant. Only Crown Princess Jia Nanfeng is not pregnant. Jia Nanfeng is short of breath. Just look at which woman in the East Palace is pregnant, stab her with a halberd, and she immediately kills two people. As soon as Xie Cairen saw something was wrong, he fled the East Palace and ran back to Emperor Wu. Later, I gave birth to a child in ouchi and lived with emperor Wu all the time. The children are all in their teens. Once the prince entered the palace to see Emperor Wu, who pointed to the child and said to the prince, "Do you know? You already have a son, that's him. " Father and son can recognize each other.

Later, when Emperor Wu died, Sima Zhong ascended the throne as the Crown Prince, for the sake of Jinhui Emperor. There are two main reasons why Hui Di was called an idiot by later generations, both of which are quite good jokes.

Once, when Hui Di was playing in Hualin Garden, he heard frogs and was amused. He asked the housekeeper, "Is this croaking official or private?" The waiter replied, "in the official field, it is official, and in the private field, it is private."

On another occasion, there was a famine in various places and people had no food. Hui Di thinks this problem is so serious that people may starve to death. We should try to solve it. So he asked the minister seriously, "since there is no food to eat, why not eat meat porridge?"

Hui Di didn't have the ability to govern the Western Jin Dynasty, that is, under his rule, the "Eight Kings Rebellion" and later the "Five Lakes Rebellion" broke out, and the whole China was in a mess, but I don't know who would dare to eat it.

Emperor Jinhui has been unable to protect himself and exercise his power. He was taken away by other kings and used as a signboard and puppet. In the end, all the kings were killed, only one Sima Yue was left, so Sima Yue mastered the affairs of state. However, Sima Yue didn't like Hui Di, so he planned to get rid of Hui Di and establish Sima Chi, the youngest son of Emperor Wu.

In November of the first year of Guangxi (AD 306), Sima Yue secretly let people put poison in Hui Di's cake and sent it to Xianyang Hall. Hui Di ate a few mouthfuls and suddenly felt cramps in his stomach and threw himself on the bed. The doctor came over to have a look and repeatedly said, "It's over, it's over." The imperial secretary asked again and again, and the physician whispered, "Poisoned." Then he slipped away.

Hui Di died like this. When he died, Sima Yue made Sima Chi emperor. (Excerpted from The Thousand-year-old Imperial Capital and the Hundred-generation Emperors edited by Luoyang Local Records Editorial Committee)
