Sima Yan, the emperor of Jin, had twenty-six sons. Why did he choose an idiot son as a prince?

Sima Yan, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, made great achievements in imperial industry and was ambitious, which created a generation of extravagance. Unexpectedly, in the matter of establishing a prince, he was indecisive and had no sense of war and determination on the battlefield, and even established an idiot son as a prince.

Sima Yan loved many women all his life, and these women gave birth to 26 sons for him! The eldest son Sima Gui died unfortunately, and the second son Sima Zhongcheng was the de facto eldest son. Sima Yan and Queen Yang Yan were born again, so naturally, he became the eldest son.

In 267 AD, Sima Yan immediately named Sima Zhong, who was only eight years old, as the Prince.

This decision has caused some ministers to have doubts. Why? Because at that time, many people knew that the prince was not very clever! At that time, there was such a thing: Sima Yan sent two ministers to sit outside the window and wanted to know about his son's study.

Two ministers are hiding under the window, listening to the prince's teacher telling Sima Zhong about Mencius. Gongsun. The master explained in detail that it is not advisable to have compassion, shame, resignation and view of right and wrong. As a monarch, he is basically selfless and upright.

It was raining outside and frogs croaked everywhere. After listening to the teacher's explanation for a long time, Sima Zhong only remembered one sentence: seeking personal gain for the public. When the master asked him what his problem was, he opened his mouth and asked, is the croaking of frogs in the garden public or private?

The master's heart sank. The two ministers outside the window listened with a tight heart. After class, the two ministers and Master accompanied Sima Zhong for dinner. Sima Zhong is delicious by nature and doesn't cherish delicious food. The master couldn't stand it any longer, and advised him that every grain in the bowl was earned by the peasants. Now the drought is serious, and the people have no food and are starving. Sima Zhong said strangely: No food? Why not eat meat?

The two ministers listened anxiously. If you reply truthfully, you will definitely offend Queen Yang and then lose your life. So the two played the emperor: the prince's family was kind-hearted, and he could discuss with his master repeatedly, and his studies also made great progress.

In fact, Sima Yan also heard about the prince's stupidity. He tried to discuss with the queen: someone else? It's not too late before it's too young. But the queen insisted: the child is still young, and maybe it will improve when it is older. Moreover, it absolutely does not conform to the legal system of our ancestors!

In a blink of an eye, the prince is thirteen years old. According to the royal regulations, you should choose a crown princess. Ministers, act now, princess! After that, she will be the queen! After that, it's royalty! After that, children and grandchildren will be emperors!

Such a bright future, how can you not break your head and grab it? Finally, Minister Jia Chong successfully married her eldest daughter Jia Nanfeng into the royal family and became a crown princess!

Who would have thought that after Jia Nanfeng entered the palace, he set off blood shed and even directly led to the early demise of the Jin Dynasty? This is another story. What Jia Nanfeng did was also described in the previous article. Those who are interested may wish to look ahead.

When Jia Nanfeng entered the palace, he found himself married to an idiot prince. She was crafty and soon played with the prince. Once, she found out that the prince was having an affair with another maid-in-waiting, who was pregnant! Angry and jealous, she picked up a short halberd and stabbed the maid-in-waiting directly in the stomach. One body killed two people, and there was a river of blood.

Emperor Sima Yan was really surprised and angry this time. He wants to abolish the crown princess and consult with the queen. The Queen said: Jia Chong is the first hero in the DPRK. If the crown princess is abolished, he will no longer be loyal. Sima Yan can only roll with the punches and roll with the punches.

But the waste prince made Sima Yan hesitate again. Isn't it a joke that the courtiers admit that the prince is an idiot at this time? After thinking about it, Sima Yan came up with a trick: public examination!

Sima Yan found a reason to hold a banquet for the ministers at the meeting. When the wine was hot, several confidants sent them to the throne, saying that they had several important things to deal with. Sima Yan waved: Can't you see I'm drinking? Give it to the prince! Let him read!

Jia Nanfeng, the Crown Princess, had many eyes and ears and got the news at the first time. One of her confidants is very knowledgeable and proficient in government affairs, so she wrote a comment on writing to the prince. At this time, another confidant put forward a different opinion: courtiers all know that the prince does not study hard, how can he write such a subtle comment on writing? It is better to talk about the matter and write a concise and clear point of view.

Jia Nanfeng a listen to feel very reasonable, so did it, and let the prince copy it again, back to the emperor. Where did Sima Yan know the secret? I'm happy to open it in public! The courtiers knew it well, but no one dared to refute it in front of the emperor, so the ministers never mentioned the replacement of the prince again.

Since then, the East Palace has been firmly established, and Jia Nanfeng mustered all his strength to start having children. It's a pity that she is a daughter four times in a row! In the meantime, she killed two pregnant maids and did not allow any woman to get close to the prince.

Supposedly, there has never been an emperor's grandson, so Sima Yan should be anxious, but this time he was uncharacteristically neither anxious nor annoyed. It turns out that Sima Yan is so sure because he knows that he already has an emperor!

All the pregnant maids were killed by Jia Nanfeng, but where did this grandson come from?

It turns out that before Prince Sima Zhong chose the Crown Princess, Sima Yan specially chose a beautiful and mature talented woman in the palace to teach the Prince in the East in order to let the Prince know something about the secrets in the room first. This talent is called Xie Jiu. His father is a butcher and his occupation is slaughtering sheep. Because Xie Jiu was born beautiful, he was elected to the palace.

After Xie Jiu went to the East Palace, he waited on the prince's daily life and taught him about men and women. Before Jia Nanfeng entered the palace, she was pregnant with the dragon seed. Seeing Jia Nanfeng's evil deeds, she was deeply frightened, so she asked Sima Yan, the Emperor Wu, to let herself go back to the West Palace and avoid the eyes of the Crown Princess.

Xie Jiusheng gave birth to a son named Sima? . Because I was afraid that the crown princess would find out, I kept it in the harem of Emperor Wu. One day, Sima Zhong went to his father's for dinner and suddenly met a child playing in the garden. He asked strangely, who is this child? Sima Yanran later told him: This is your son!

In fact, Sima Yan's determination to abolish the prince has a lot to do with this child. Sima Zhong is stupid, but what about Sima Zi? But smart. When he was five years old, one night, the palace caught fire, with thick smoke and flames. Emperor Wu stood in the firelight and watched. At this time, the little emperor Sun took his hand and walked into the darkness. Emperor Wu was surprised and asked him: Why not let me see it?

The child replied solemnly: there is a fire at night, which is too messy. Can't help but prevent accidents! The emperor should not show up under the fire. Emperor Wu looked at the children in surprise and secretly pinned his hopes on the little emperor and grandson.

From then on, Sima Yan made public the identity of the emperor's grandson, and everyone praised the child's extraordinary wisdom and unlimited future. Seal Sima? For Guangling Wang, there are 50,000 households in the food city. He chose a scholar as his teacher, and the scholar was in charge of teaching.

However, the various arrangements in Sima Yan eventually developed in the opposite direction. This grandson not only failed to carry forward the Jin Dynasty, but died unexpectedly. This is another story.

In 290 AD, Sima Yan died, reigned for 26 years, and finally was 55 years old. Prince Sima Zhong ascended the throne in Ling and became Emperor Jinhui. Crown Princess Jia Nanfeng is the queen.

New bloodshed has begun.
