The ministers said that they wanted to retire, and the ministers praised him for his ability, but one of them secretly said: He wants to be the emperor!
Watching the change of dynasty in TV series often makes people feel very relaxed. However, the reality of history is that every change of dynasty is particularly complicated;Even if it comes to the point of being on the verge of a kick in the door, it often requires a lot of procedures before it can finally move towards a change of dynasty.
And there is such a story in history that stands out most - the minister wanted to be the emperor but couldn't speak, and finally he announced to his subordinates: I am old and want to retire. Originally, he was a code, but the ministers below said one after another, you can abdicate and let Xian really be too virtuous, our emperor just needs a loyal minister like you, so that this powerful minister suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
What the hell is going on here?
Speaking of the Jin Dynasty, many people may not have a good impression. Especially friends who like the Three Kingdoms more, because no matter which country Wei, Shu and Wu are among the Three Kingdoms, it seems that they are more qualified than the Jin Dynasty to unify the world.
Cao Cao unified the northern region that year, so that the north avoided war. At the same time, Cao Cao was a meritorious family of the Han Dynasty, and his father was originally surnamed Xiahou to the Cao family, and both surnames were the founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty. So he was very popular at that time.
At the same time, when Dong Zhuo rebelled in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was one of the people who most actively protected the Han Dynasty. So the unification of the world with him and his descendants is morally acceptable to us.
Sun Jian was still a hero at that time. Especially when crusading against Dong Zhuo, he was the only one who dared to fight Dong Zhuo's army, and really defeated the princes of Dong Zhuo's army. Why didn't anyone else dare to fight?On the one hand, it shows that Sun Jian is talented, and on the other hand, it shows that everyone else is interested in watching the excitement.
They recruited troops only to strengthen their power, and they did not care whether the Han Dynasty was destroyed or not.
Only stunned young people like Cao Cao and Sun Jian would really take their lives to play with Dong Zhuo (Cao Cao also rushed to fight Dong Zhuo at that time, but almost lost his life as a result). Therefore, it is also acceptable for Sun Jian's descendants to unify the world.
Liu Bei naturally needless to say, he is a Han Dynasty clan after all. If he restores the rule of the Han Dynasty, it will of course be the most ideal outcome.
However, in the end, the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu failed to unify the world, and the three of them had just built the world into a little shape, and they were actually picked by the Sima family. What credit do you say the Sima family has for the world?Sima Yi is basically engaged in intrigues and intrigues to fight internal wars, and Sima Yi is quite cruel.
He went to Liaodong to conquer the Gongsun family, and also gave the local people **, which led to the expansion of Goguryeo in the northeast.
In terms of talent, morality, family background, and character, the Sima family does not seem to be a satisfactory answer. What made later generations even more disappointed with the Sima family was that the Sima family after the founding of the People's Republic of China was also particularly unsuccessful, and the first emperor Jin Wu Emperor was not good. Other emperors of the first generation worked hard, but his first emperor began to flourish in luxury.
He not only has tens of thousands of beauties of all kinds in the harem, but also raises extravagance in the court.
Moreover, in terms of choosing an heir, this Emperor Wu of Jin is not good. He gave up choosing his normal son, and chose a son who was not particularly normal in IQ to succeed him, and as a result, the Western Jin Dynasty died after the second emperor. Maybe many ordinary people at that time were rejoicing in their hearts: Good guy, this dynasty of the Sima family is finally gone!
But the fact is that it is still very early for the Sima family to change the dynasty. Soon after, Sima Rui established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the world was still in the hands of the Sima family. However, many people are thinking: When will this Sima Dynasty be gone?So much so that the emperor at that time himself looked at the history of his ancestors, and also cried and said to the people around him:
My ancestor is such a bastard, how long can I be an emperor?”
After Sima Rui passed on for several generations, there was finally a powerful minister who stood up and prepared to overthrow the Jin Dynasty, and this person was Huan Wen's son Huan Xuan. Huan Wen is a very famous person in history, at that time the Eastern Jin Dynasty faced the weakness of the north, he led the Eastern Jin Dynasty troops to expand the territory many times, and was a rare main battle faction in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time. So he has a lot of power in his hands.
After his death, his son Huan Xuan was not only powerful, but also more ambitious.
He saw that the Jin Dynasty was already rotten, so he wanted to overthrow the Jin Dynasty and become emperor himself, creating a more dynamic dynasty. Because the Huan Wen family was powerful and basically held the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time, Huan Xuan's coup was relatively successful. He had actually replaced the Eastern Jin Emperor and established a dynasty called Chu.
Many people also thought at the time: Now the Sima family has come to an end!
However, this time the Sima Dynasty actually turned the tables again. The reason is that after Huan Xuan succeeded to the throne, he frantically attacked the Beifu army, fearing that the Beifu army would restore the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which caused dissatisfaction among the Beifu army. At that time, Liu Yu was also the Beifu Army, taking advantage of Huan Xuan's inattention, Liu Yu contacted a small number of Beifu Army to revolt.
As a result, other families also responded, because Huan Xuan had not yet won their approval. In the end, when Liu Yu led troops to quell the rebellion, the Eastern Jin Dynasty recovered again, and the emperor changed his surname to Sima. However, at this time, whether it was Liu Yu or others, they were all thinking about quickly driving this Sima emperor away.
Because the Sima family had no positive effect on the world at that time. On the contrary, the reputation they left behind was mostly negative, and having the Sima family would only make everyone more disgusting. Liu Yu hated this Sima Dynasty even more, as a citizen of the Sima Dynasty, he lived in the lowest society at that time. Therefore, he was especially able to feel the suffering at the bottom at that time.
The Sima Dynasty didn't care about the fate of these ordinary people at all, on the contrary, he pushed them into the abyss anytime and anywhere.
If he hadn't been lucky, strong in martial arts, and rising in the army with his skills, he would most likely have died on the battlefield. Therefore, for this Sima Dynasty to which he is loyal, Liu Yu is not interested at all. Moreover, his conditions are better than Huan Xuan's.
Huan Xuan had not completely collapsed the Jin Dynasty at that time, so there were still many people who blocked him. Moreover, Huan Xuan himself did not have much military merit, mainly relying on his father's influence to grasp power. And by this time of Liu Yu, the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family was almost killed by Huan Xuan, and the family basically lost the last trust in the Sima family.
Therefore, as long as Liu Yu dares to claim the emperor by himself, probably no one will come to stop him.
At the same time, Liu Yujun made great achievements. He not only quelled the internal rebellion, but also led the army of the Jin Dynasty to the north, defeated the enemies that the Eastern Jin Dynasty could not solve for many years, and helped the Eastern Jin Dynasty greatly expand its territory at that time. At the same time, under his rule, the lives of the common people were improved.
All these people know about it, so his reputation and merit are much higher than Huan Xuan.
So, if he has to say anything conceited, it's that he is indeed qualified to be emperor. After all, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was almost wiped out by Huan Chu back then, and it was he Liu Yu who killed the new country with a knife and a shot. And the Sima family didn't do anything at all, just a puppet emperor.
However, when Liu Yu was 57 years old, his fame had reached its peak, and it stands to reason that being the emperor is a matter of one sentence. As long as he lets out the sentence that he wants to be the emperor, whether it is the emperor or other ministers, basically no one will oppose him, and the common people will not oppose him.
But in such a situation, Liu Yu really didn't dare to speak.
It's not that he was afraid that he would encounter some disaster if he opened his mouth, the emperor at that time was completely under his control, and it was impossible to do anything with him. The ministers are also his people, and few people will oppose him.
However, after all, he had always been a loyal minister before, and the emperor of the Sima family was also supported by himself. At the beginning, he said that he would help others fight the world, but now that the world is really defeated, he wants to take it directly, so isn't he the same person as Huan Xuan?Although others will definitely not say this to their faces, it doesn't sound good to say it behind the scenes.
If he wants to be a good emperor, he can't help but lose his reputation.
If he hastily forcibly ascended the throne as emperor at this time, it would be quite unfavorable for the dynasty after him. However, if he does not ascend the throne at this time, he really can't afford to wait. Originally, he was almost sixty years old, and he had been fighting all year round, and he might also have a dark illness.
If he can't settle this matter early, will he let the Sima family continue to be the emperor, and then let the Sima family bring the people into the pit?
As a person who has experienced the hardships at the bottom, he is really unwilling to let everyone continue to live the previous hard life. But if he can't become a real emperor, when he dies, the world will probably return to its former state. So he came up with an idea at this time: he wanted to get away with it.
He gathered all the ministers at the time, and then announced in public to so many people that he was already old and his official position was at the extreme, so there was no need to continue to be nostalgic for this. Therefore, he wanted to retire and live a stable life for a few years.
In fact, everyone is very clear about the situation, and at this time, all the military and political power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in the hands of Liu Yu. If Liu Yu really retires, won't the world be chaotic?Therefore, this retirement is mostly Liu Yu's retreat.
However, among the ministers present, which of them is not a clever ghost?They also knew that Liu Yu had this idea in their hearts, but they just refused to say it!The reason is very simple - they don't want to take Liu Yu's words, once they take Liu Yu, most of them will hint that they will force the emperor to abdicate, but this kind of thing will leave an infamy in the history books.
And most of the historical experience at that time, whoever forced the emperor **, the fate ended not very well.
Therefore, these people pretended to be stupid one by one, and praised them as loyal and good cadres of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, without mentioning Liu Yu's inheritance of the throne. This made Liu Yu anxious on the spot, but he couldn't show it yet, but he had to pretend to be very useful. However, when the banquet finally dispersed, Fu Liang found Liu Yu. He said to Liu Yu: "I'll go to the capital." ”
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately knew that Fu Liang was willing to carry the black pot.
So he asked Fu Liang how many people he was going to bring?Fu Liang said: "A few dozen people are enough. ”
So Liu Yu let him go. Fu Liang found the emperor, and then talked to the emperor, and the emperor wrote an edict without saying a word, announcing that he would give up the emperor's position to Liu Yu, and finally let Liu Yu successfully become the emperor.
It is worth mentioning that Fu Liang also died in the end. Of course, he was not killed by Liu Yu, Liu Yu reused him.
