Is Emperor Jinhui really an idiot emperor?

Two jokes of Sima Zhong, Emperor Huidi of Jin Dynasty, are recorded in the book Huidi Ji. First, when Sima Zhong heard toads chirping in Hualin Garden, he asked the left and right: Are they chirping for public or private? A: What's on the public site is public, and what's on the private site is private. Sima Zhong is convinced of this explanation. Secondly, there was widespread chaos in the country, the people had no food to eat, and countless villages starved to death. Sima Zhong wondered why they didn't eat meat porridge. According to this passage, many people rightfully labeled Sima Zhong as an idiot emperor. As the rich second generation emperor, Sima Zhong inevitably has some dude characteristics, but only by this can he be identified as an idiot. , is out of context, one vote negative. Is Sima Zhong really the legendary idiot emperor? Early Experience Sima Zhong was born in Ganlu, Cao Wei for four years. On the first day of the third year of Taishi, Sima Zhong was established as the Crown Prince at the age of nine. On February, the eighth year of Taishi, Sima Zhong was ordered by Emperor Wu of Jin to marry Jia Nanfeng, the daughter of Jia Chong, as the Crown Princess. Jia Nanfeng was fifteen years old and Sima Zhong was two years older.

On April 2th, when he ascended the throne, Emperor Wu of Jin died, and Crown Prince Sima Zhong ascended the throne, for the purpose of granting amnesty to Jin Sima Zhong and changing his title to Yongxi. Yang Zhi, the stepmother, is the empress dowager, and Jia Nanfeng, the princess, is the queen. On May 13th of the same year, Emperor Wu of Jin was buried in Junyang Mausoleum.

On May 18th, the number of official posts in the world was increased by one level, and those who participated in the funeral of Emperor Wu of Jin were increased by two levels. The people were exempted from rent and tax for one year, and all officials with more than 2, stones were appointed as Guanzhong marquis. Take Taiwei Yang Jun as a teacher, and assist in state affairs. On August 26th, Wang Sima _, the son of Guangling, was appointed as the Crown Prince, He Shao, the supervisor of the Secretariat, was appointed as the Prince Taifu, and Wang Rong, the official minister, was appointed as the Prince Taibao. Shi Chong, a commander in the south, Hu Yi, a captain in Shesheng, Zhao Jun, a captain in Changshui, and Zhao Huan, a general in Yang Lie, were sent to station troops. Later, in January 291, it was changed to Yongping. After Jin Sima Zhong came to power, he trusted his queen Jia Nanfeng very much. Therefore, Jia's autocratic power even forged the imperial edict of Jin Sima Zhong. In the first year of Yongping, he persecuted the Empress Dowager, deposed the Empress Dowager and killed ministers such as Sima Liang. In the same year, he killed the Empress Dowager in Jin Yong City.

In the 4th and 6th years of Yuankang, the Huns and other nationalities rebelled, and Qi Wannian, a Chien, proclaimed himself emperor. It was not until the 9th year of Yuankang that this rebellion was eliminated. In the same year, Jia Nanfeng began to persecute Prince _, first abolishing his status as a prince. Kill the prince the following year. This move became the starting point for many royal families who opposed the dictatorship of Jia Hou to take action. After Sima Lun, the prince of Zhao, forged an imperial edict to abolish Jia's murder, he killed ministers such as Sikong Zhanghua and so on, and took the position of prime minister, which was the beginning of the Eight Kings Rebellion. Restore the status of the original prince, and establish Sima Zang, the son of the prince, as the great grandson of the emperor.

in August of the first year of Yongkang, Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, fought against Sima Lun and was defeated and killed. In December of the same year, Yizhou secretariat Zhao _ cooperated with the refugees who fled from the Central Plains to Sichuan to rebel in Chengdu.

in the first year of Yongning, Sima Lun usurped the throne and became emperor himself. Sima Zhong was changed to the emperor's father, and Prince Sima Zang was killed. In March, Sima _, King of Qi, rose up against Sima Lun, and was supported by Sima Ying, King of Chengdu, Wang Sima _ of Hejian and Sima _, King of Changshan. Sima Lun was defeated. Huailing Wang Sima _ killed Sima Lun's henchmen, expelled Sima Lun, and led Sima Zhong to reset. Sima Lun was killed. In May, Xiangyang Wang Sima was appointed as the great grandson of the emperor and Yang Xianrong as the queen. In June, Sima Kun, the king of Donglai, attempted to overthrow Sima _' s authoritarian power, and the leak was abolished. In December, Te Li began to fight against Jin in Sichuan, which was the starting point of becoming a Han Dynasty.

in the first year of Taian, Sima Shang, the grandson of the early emperor, died, and Sima Qin was made a prince. In May, Te Li defeated Sima _ to crusade against his army in Sichuan, killed Zhang Wei, the prefect of Guanghan, and became a general on his own.

In December, Sima Ying, Sima _, Xinye Wang Sima Xin and Fanyang Wang Sima _ met in Luoyang to oppose Sima _' s dictatorship. Sima _ took the opportunity to kill Sima _ and became a powerful minister in the DPRK.

In March of the second year of Tai 'an, Te Li was killed while attacking Chengdu, but his son Li Xiong occupied Chengdu in April. By the end of the year, Li Xiong occupied almost the whole Sichuan Basin. In May, Zhang Chang and Qiu Shen rebelled, founded the Han Dynasty, and killed Sima Xin. In August, Sima Ying and Sima _ crusaded against Sima _. In October, Sima _' s army invaded Chang 'an, and tens of thousands of people died in the subsequent looting. Since then, the two armies have confronted each other outside Chang 'an, and even 13-year-olds have been recruited. At the same time, both armies have recruited Xiongnu and other troops. Finally Sima _ was defeated and killed. Sima _ became a pivotal figure in the Jin Dynasty.

every father is not mentally retarded, and he is always worried about his son, especially the founding emperor. After Sima Zhong became a prince, Sima Yan had doubts about whether he could take on the important task in the future, and even examined Sima Zhong's political ability by making the prince decide on the matter through the history. Sima Zhong was born in happiness, without political experience, so it was naturally difficult to deal with it. Jia Nanfeng, the crown princess, colluded with Zhang Hong, who wrote the answer in advance, and Sima Zhong followed suit. As a result, Emperor Wu was pleased. Some people regard this as evidence of Sima Zhong's idiocy, but it is not. Similar political cheating was once committed by Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu. Can we deny Cao Zhi's talent in the literary world on this basis? In addition, after Sima Zhong acceded to the throne, whenever there is a decree, the emperor saves it, presents it to the Queen Mother, and then does it; When killing Sima Liang and Wei _, it was also a secret imperial edict made by Sima Zhong. Thus, although Sima Zhong doesn't understand or is not keen on politics, he can read, write and even prepare imperial edicts.

besides having a certain cultural foundation, Sima Zhong is also conceptual and even sensitive to numbers. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, there were many changes and wars, and Wang Jun attacked Ye, urging Ying Fengtianzi to return to Luoyang. At that time, the military was still 15, people, and all of them collapsed. They were only interested in Zi Mi, Brother Zi _, and there were only 1, people in the temple. However, the troops were scattered again, and they were interested in searching in the array. They had to take a deer cart, and Sima Du Han Xuan collected the Yellow Gate, which led to more than 1 people. When he entered, the emperor asked him, "Why did you lose so much?"? Chi said: The thief has gone to Yeye for 8 miles, but the people have been scattered in horror. Now I want to return Luoyang to your majesty. Emperor said: Very good. So the royal calf car was sent. Seeing the sharp decrease in the number of guards around him, Sima Zhong asked why he was defeated so far; Sima Zhong felt very good when he heard the report number of Lu Zhi thief going to Yeshang Eighty Li, and agreed to go to Luoyang. In addition, through the question and answer between Sima Zhong and Lu Zhi, we can also see that Sima Zhong cares about the changes of the current situation and conforms to the development of the situation.

Sima Zhong has a strong sense of the outside world and often shows sincere feelings. For example, Chen Qian, the founding father, died and was buried, and the emperor was in mourning at the Sima Gate. In the first year of Jianwu, when it was warm, he would be buried in the mausoleum, and the emperor would lose his shoes, and he would accept the shoes of his followers and bow down to tears. In June of the first year of Guangxi, Bingchenshuo, the emperor went to Chang 'an and rose to the old temple, feeling sad and weeping. Being able to shed tears, worship and mourn shows that Sima Zhong has a strong perception of external things and has corresponding emotional expressions. When the environment changes, Sima Zhong can also change his words and deeds according to the situation. After Luoyang was captured by Zhang Fang, a general, Zhang Fangshuai rode 3, square meters to pay his respects and the emperor bowed. After Sima Zhong was hijacked by Zhang Fang to Chang 'an, Sima _ Shuaiguan rode thirty thousand troops, greeted the bully, paid his respects, and the emperor got off the bus. In the scuffle of the imperial clan for power and profit, Sima Zhong was under the eaves, and he was able to be calm and courteous to his liegeman, which showed that he was not only not stupid, but also very sensible.

The conquest of Sima Ying, the emperor's eldest brother, was the most dangerous bloody experience in Sima Zhong's life. In the battle of vagrancy, due to the rout, Sima Zhong took advantage of Yu Wei's land, and he himself weighed three arrows. In the case before the flying arrow was handed over, hundreds of people ran away, only serving Ji Shao to help the emperor. When the enemy was about to kill Ji Shao, Sima Zhong stopped him and said, "I am an official, so don't harm him.". The enemy general said: I am ordered by my brother, but I will not violate your majesty's ear. So, Sima Zhong can only watch Ji Shao killed, blood spattered with dragon robes. In his own precarious situation, Sima Zhong can still think about protecting his subordinates, but he can't do anything about it because his authority has been swept away, and he has always been bitter about it. Afterwards, when the enemy was about to change Sima Zhong's blood-stained clothes, Sima Zhong said, "Don't wash it if you are killed.". It means that this is Ji Shao's blood, and you can't wash it away. In this way, Sima Zhong protested against the cruelty of the enemy generals and expressed grief over Ji Shao's loyal death. Imagine, is this what an idiot can do?
