If Sima Yan, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, had not been transferred to Prince Sima Zhong, would there still be a "rebellion of eight kings" in the Western Jin Dynasty?

Sima Zhong, he is a man betrayed by history books.

Over the years, he has been despised and laughed at by countless smart people, but no one really understands his feelings.

A person can be branded and imprisoned for thousands of years in just a few words. Today, let's open the page, stroke by stroke, and feel the scars in Sima Zhong's heart.

Sima Zhong's life is simple enough to be summarized in four sentences:

1. Youth crisis-"What a pity"

When Sima Zhong was young, he faced a huge political crisis. In the Book of Jin, Volume 36, Biography Six, there is such a record:

When Sima Zhong was less than nine years old, Sima Yan usurped Wei's gift money and made him a prince.

At that time, in North Korea, there was a powerful minister named Wei Guan. Friends who know something about the Three Kingdoms period know that this Wei official is quite powerful, and the deaths of Wargo, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei are all related to him. He made great contributions to Wei Lijin in Sima Zhong.

Sima Zhong grew up with a simple mind, and ministers thought that he was "pure" and was not cut out to be a monarch. Wei Guan tried many times to persuade Sima Yan to abolish his status as a prince, but he never dared to take action. Once, the monarch and his subjects gave a banquet in Yuntai, and Wei Guan knelt in front of Sima Yan's bed.

-Explain that this doesn't mean that Sima Yan is lying in bed drinking with everyone. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the bed could sit and lie, not only sleeping, but also sitting and resting temporarily.

Wei Guan ran to Sima Yan's bed, patted the bed and said, "This bed is a pity." . The implication is that it would be disappointing if Sima Zhong, a silly child, were to sit on the throne.

When he was a teenager, Sima Zhong was already facing such a political crisis. I don't understand the way these courtiers think. Isn't the Lord just and pure? Don't they prefer those treacherous and heartless people like Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Si Mazhao and Sima Yan?

2. Just ascended the throne is a disaster-"Why not eat minced meat?"

Jin Hui Di Ji recorded such a story:

After Sima Zhong acceded to the throne,

There was a famine in the world, and many people starved to death, and bones were everywhere. The minister addressed Sima Zhong, who said, "Why not eat minced meat?" Why not eat meat porridge?

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, everyone thinks that Sima Zhong is really a fool who doesn't know the sufferings of the people.

But if you think about it again, isn't Sima Zhong a kind of sarcasm and satire to this group of well-dressed and hypocritical hypocrites in the imperial court?

Why don't ordinary people who have worked hard all their lives eat meat porridge? That's because I have to feed you fat parasites!

It is actually a shame to pick up a pen and laugh at Sima Zhong.

3. Who is in charge of the ups and downs of the country-"official frog"? Private frog? "

There is such a record in the history book Jin Shu Huidi Ji:?

When summer comes, Sima Zhong takes imperial secretary to Hualin Park to play. When he heard frogs everywhere, he asked the people who accompanied him, "Is this singer official or folk?" Are those croaking frogs official or folk?

The head of Jia Yin in The Waiter is very alert and cleverly answers: "The official land is the official, and the private land is private." Official frog in officialdom, private frog in private field.

It sounds like a joke, which shows Jia Yin's wit and Sima Zhong's stupidity.

But on second thought, this should be the most meaningful sentence in Sima Zhong's life.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, those wealthy families firmly held the state affairs and occupied most of the country's resources. These luxurious parasites all occupy the land, are greedy for money and benefit from it. They annexed a lot of land, plundered the people's wealth and exploited them, which made the people bear a heavy burden and have a hard life.

Sima Zhong wants to know how many pieces of land belonging to the country and people are left in this world?

If we connect with the sentence "Why not eat minced meat", we should understand who caused the hunger of people all over the world.

No matter which generation, how many frogs are chirping in the fields of the poor?

4. The storm is tottering, and the Eight Kings are in chaos-"This servant is bleeding, don't go."

There is such a record in the history book "Book of Jin, Volume 89":

The rule of the Jin dynasty is a bit like the current joint-stock company, with many wealthy families. The emperor is one of the major shareholders who became the chairman, and the important positions in the company are dominated by those rich families.

Whoever has strong strength and abundant funds is the most trustworthy and can control the operation of the company best, preventing and destroying each other, resulting in a waste of financial and human resources.

Sima Zhong married a queen named Jia Nanfeng, who was vicious and gloomy. She dominated the state affairs and ran amok, which inspired the civil strife of Sima's royal family in Jin Dynasty. This is the "Eight Kings Rebellion".

In the first year of Yong 'an, Sima Zhong led the imperial army to fight against the rebels in the shadow by personal expedition.

The sword in the forest rejected people. In the fierce battle, Sima Zhong was injured in the face and was shot with three arrows. Sima Zhong's "meat-eating minced meat" civil and military officials abandoned you and fled for their lives. Only the servant Ji Shao firmly protected Sima Zhong and blocked Sima Zhongcheng's sword and arrow as the enemy with his body.

Unfortunately, Ji Shao was badly injured and fell at the feet of Sima Zhong. The gushing blood splashed Sima Zhong's imperial robe.

After the battle, Sima Zhong returned to the palace, and the attendants wanted to wash his royal clothes, but Sima Zhong refused. He said, "Don't go here because there is blood."

This is Kistler's blood. At the most critical moment, he blocked the sword and arrow rain for me with his body. ?

In the end, Sima Zhong failed to keep the throne and was imprisoned to death.

As a monarch, Sima Zhong has no great talent, no wisdom to govern the country and the world, and even less the ability to plan. But he worked hard and fought for the heavy burden he shouldered. He once risked his life to be king on the battlefield.

At least, Sima Zhong is a person who knows how to be grateful and cherish his feelings. He will cry. And such a monarch is really rare.
