The Eastern Jin Dynasty can be described as a very "peculiar" dynasty in history. Although it is nominally a "monarch" dynasty, there are few emperors who have really been in power during the Eastern Jin Dynasty for more than 100 years, and the power is controlled by the family.
It is easy to abolish the emperor, but it is difficult to establish the emperor. So many people have tried and failed, Wang Dun, Huan Wen, and Huan Xuan have all failed.
1. Dynasties and dynasties, it is about"Divine Mandate of the King"Justifiably. So-called""The king's mandate is bestowed", in fact, it is the right time and place, the right time and place, and the right people, you can't do anything, not you can get it if you want to. The emperor of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty was able to add a yellow robe to the throne, in fact, it was the right time, place and people.
Second, those big wealthy families don't want to be emperors to play, but there are many who want to be emperors (didn't the Sima clan of the Han Weihao clan become emperors). But being an emperor is not something that can be achieved overnight, you have to prepare for a long time, and besides, you are not alone in wanting to be an emperor. So everyone wants to be, and several powerful people will restrain each other and appear"Balance of Terror", no one dares to move first. Cao Cao is like that, can"coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes" and did not dare to be the emperor easily.
The Jin Dynasty is like a mandarin duck hot pot, a pure heart and few desires of celebrities, arrogant and lascivious family of gate valves, the whole social governance is like the current India, ruling the world's largest free country advocating inaction at that time, Xie Wenheng Sima took turns to sit in the village, and after the chaos unified the world, he pointed out the country, but there is a little problem, the Jin Dynasty is not a sole proprietorship company like other unified dynasties, but a limited partnership structure. The emperor is the executive partner of this limited partnership, and he rules for thousands of miles to protect the interests of the major clans, and if he is not careful, he is in danger of being abolished and liquidated.
After the Jin Dynasty scholar class settled in Jiangnan, the swords and guns belonging to Liangtian Meizhu entered Kuma and put them in Nanshan, and the five chaotic Chinese madness in the north did not make the Eastern Jin Dynasty have the idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace. In the depression of not being able to do anything externally, the Song Chen Liang Chen of the Northern and Southern Dynasties began. In the absence of good investment channels and the ability to set up a wholly-owned company, the vigorous revolutionary movement that took place in the Jin Dynasty ended without a hitch.
Then why was Liu Yu of the Han clan able to usurp the Jin?
First, since Liu Yu is a Han clan, he naturally does not have an intricately intertwined relationship with the upper-class scholar clan, so he dares to break this mess, even if he fails, he is only in a different place.
Second, when Liu Yu usurped the throne, there were no strong generals who could check and balance Liu Yu. Wang Dun's rebellion, Su Jun's rebellion, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has Wen Qiao, Tao Kan, there are famous ministers Wang Dao, famous scholar Yu Liang, important minister Xi Jian, etc.
During the Huan Wen period, there were Langya Wang, Chenjun Xie, especially the famous minister Xie An and othersHuan Xuan's rebellion, Liu Yu rose.
Before Liu Yu usurped the throne, the Eastern Jin Dynasty experienced a great turmoil, Liu Yu led the Beifu is the only reliance of the imperial court, in the unification of all forces, Liu Yu has eliminated the people who pose a great threat to themselves, and Wang Dun, Huan Xuan and other large groups of forces are different, Liu Yu has military power in hand, but also dictatorship for many years, and the usurpation is relatively smooth.
