Folk joke grandpa

The name is actually based on the order of their accession to the throne, not their blood relationship. The relationship between the two protagonists in this incident is too complicated, so for the sake of simplicity, Sima Zhong was called the Emperor's Father, and then Sima Lun ascended the throne. In fact, this will also make the whole thing less embarrassing.

The hero of this incident comes from Sima Yi, a big family. Sima yi has no other strengths, only one thing: he lived too long. He lived longer than Guo Jia, and he lived longer than Zhuge Liang. Even after his son Si Mazhao destroyed Shu and established the State of Jin, Sima Yi and his little wife gave birth to a child, Sima Lun. Note that he and Si Mazhao, Sima Zhong's grandfather, were of the same generation. At that time, Sima Lun was still young, so they passed the throne to Sima Zhong.

Sima zhong is just an incompetent person, born with dementia, and he can't govern the country. Shortly after he grew up in Sima Lun, he launched the activity of usurping the throne, and then Sima Zhong abdicated, and Sima Lun, who was Sima Zhong's father by seniority, called Sima Zhong the emperor's father. The reason for doing this is that Sima Zhong is actually regarded as an elder, so it is not a big joke, but a simple act.

According to etiquette, being the grandson of the emperor's father is a bit funny, so this story has been handed down among the people and attracted the attention of people of all ages as a special joke. This is the function of curiosity, which has kept this story for generations.
