In the middle of the night in 300 AD, Sima Jian, the king of Qi, led his troops to break into the palace in the name of the abolition of the queen and escorted the queen Jia Nanfeng. In the face of the sudden change, Jia Nanfeng was shocked, she asked the king of Qi who instructed the matter, and the king of Qi calmly told him that it was the two clans of King Zhao and King Liang who planned this matter.
In desperation, Queen Jia could only scold angrily: "I should have tied the dog to its neck, but I tied its tail, and now I deserve to fall to this point!" This emotion became the last well-documented sentence that Empress Jia left in the world.
Soon after, she was deposed as a concubine and forced to drink poisoned wine and died.
Jia Nanfeng, the queen who dominated the court, finally ended her absurd life in such a sloppy way. Some people think that her tyrannical power led to the destruction of the Western Jin Dynasty, and some people think that although she has a loss of personal morality, it is not enough to be the reason for the fall of the dynasty, and it is too much to call it a "demon queen".
So, what kind of life did this queen, who had infinite beauty in the court and died unexpectedly, spent? Wang Bang's start: Jia Nanfeng was born in the Pingyang Jia family and was a famous aristocratic family at that time, but before the turmoil in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Jia Nanfeng's branch had not yet developed and was very poor.
It wasn't until her grandfather Jia Kui joined the army and served as a county official in Hedong that the Jia family ushered in a turning point in fate. Two years after the Battle of Guandu, the northern overlord Yuan Shao died of illness, and his youngest son Yuan Shang took over Bingzhou, and sent Guo Yuan** to attack Hedong, Cao's generals surrendered one after another, only Jia Kui fought to the death to defend the city of Jiangyi.
Later, the city was resolutely not used by Guo Yuan, assisted Cao Cao to destroy the Yuan family, attacked Ma Chao, and finally supported Cao Pi to ascend to the throne.
Jia Chong was different from Jia Kui, his son Jia Chong regarded himself as a loyal retainer of the Sima clan, and even if he was reprimanded by Zhuge Dan for this, he did not change his allegiance, and eventually became the founding father of the Jin Dynasty.
Jia Nanfeng was born in a wealthy family, and his mother Guo Huai was also born in the aristocratic Taiyuan Guo family, and was the niece of Guo Huai, a famous general of Cao Wei. Jia Nanfeng's ruthlessness and jealousy were inherited from his mother Guo Huai.
Guo Huai is Jia Chong's stepfamily, Jia Chong's original partner Li Wan was exiled, and then Jia Chong married Guo Huai. After Sima Yan ascended the throne, he pardoned Li Wan, but Guo Huai's provocation made Jia Chong refuse to welcome Li Wan back, and placed her in Yongnian, never to see each other again.
Guo Huai killed the nurse, and the youngest son died of fright.
After Guo Huaijia Nanfeng entered the palace, she often used violent means to force her husband Sima Xin's concubine to miscarry, and this cruel behavior may be related to her family education. The power of the Jia family gradually became stronger, and Jia Chong, in order to preserve the glory and wealth of his descendants, decided to let his youngest daughter Jia Wu marry the crown prince Sima Zhen.
However, because Jia Wu was still young, Jia Nanfeng married into the royal family instead of her. Although Jia Nanfeng was recognized as an ugly girl before marrying Sima Yan, this did not affect her status in the harem.
After becoming the crown princess, Jia Nanfeng showed his unique political talent and ingenuity, but also exposed his irritable and cruel character.
Sima Zhen, the only emperor in ancient Chinese history who was known for being an idiot, famously wrote "Why not eat minced meat", and there are still scholars who debate whether he is mentally deficient.
Regarding the fact that his father married him an ugly wife, the stupid prince chose to accept it calmly. However, he didn't know that this ugly wife would be the greatest help for him to ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven.
Sima Yan was very hesitant about the society inheriting the throne by him because of Sima Xin's stupidity, and he couldn't bear to abolish the crown prince, so he came up with a question to test Sima Zhen. This question first fell into the hands of Jia Nanfeng.
Jia Nanfeng knew in her heart that it was impossible to answer the question with her husband's intelligence, so she found a gunman to answer on her behalf. The gunman's answer quoted classics and was brilliantly written, but Jia Nanfeng was afraid that Sima Yan would be suspicious, so he changed his henchman to the vernacular before sending it.
When Sima Yan saw the answer, he thought that although his son was clumsy and demented, he was still teachable after all, so he dispelled the idea of abolishing the establishment. It can be seen from here that Jia Nanfeng is good at using others to achieve his goals, and cunningly deceives his superiors and subordinates to make profits.
She was very domineering, and did not allow Sima Zhen to be lucky with other concubines, and even hit the pregnant concubine with a halberd to cause her to miscarry.
Sima Yan was furious because of his daughter-in-law's domineering behavior, but in fact, behind this implied the struggle between the Sima family and the old magnates. Although the Sima clan had a short period of time, they were easily at a disadvantage in the struggle for the interests of the scholars who had experienced the Han and Wei dynasties.
Sima Yan's attempt to abolish the crown princess was part of their struggle. Some people think that Sima Zhen's connivance with Jia Nanfeng is out of love, but I think there is no love between Jia's cruelty and Sima Zhen's stupidity.
Jia Nanfeng's behavior is more like protecting his position as future empress and preventing other fertile contenders from appearing. Under the persuasion of Xun Miao and others, Sima Yan failed to abolish Jia Nanfeng, but the political struggle in which Jia Nanfeng participated planted the seeds of evil in her heart.
Even a woman as ruthless and domineering as Jia Nanfeng can only choose to endure until she gains power in the face of the authority of the Son of Heaven. In the first year of Yongxi, after Sima Yan died, Jia Nanfeng began to intervene in court politics.
Sima Zhen may just be looking forward to more followers, but Jia sees a bright future. Jia Nanfeng successfully became the queen, at this time her father had died, the Jia family's power in the court was still strong, and Jia Nanfeng as the core of the family's power, her status was also an important part of the entire Western Jin Dynasty.
However, the Queen Mother Yang Zhi once said a lot of good things for Jia Nanfeng, but Jia Nanfeng didn't appreciate it, and the first thing she did was to dispose of her mother-in-law. In fact, Yang Jun, the father of the Empress Dowager Yang Zhi, served as the prime minister of the court, and his autocratic and arbitrary power caused dissatisfaction among the clan and the scholars.
For Jia Nanfeng, on the one hand, she needs to deal with the relationship with the nobles who really hold power, and on the other hand, she also needs to seek the welfare of her family. Jia Nanfeng entangled Sima Wei, the king of Chu, to falsely accuse Yang Jun of rebellion and asked the emperor to order him to be killed.
When Yang Jun learned of this, he hurriedly discussed it with his cronies, but Yang Jun, who was in charge of the power, behaved very cowardly at this time, believing that it was unceremonious to burn down the Yunlong Gate, and Yang Jun was killed in the mansion soon after.
Jia Nanfeng imprisoned his mother-in-law Yang Zhi in Kim Yong City and starved her to death on the pretext of aiding Yang Jun's rebellion. At this point, the relatives of the Yang family were almost wiped out. Jia Nanfeng took advantage of the contradictions within the Sima clan to kill Sima Wei and Sima Liang, and grasped the real power of the imperial court.
However, her journey to power doesn't end there. The assassination of the crown prince will eventually lead to destruction. Although Jia Nanfeng has no son, the crown prince Sima Shu was born to Sima Yan and the talented Xie family.
His life story is full of legends, from his father's talent, to his son's concubine, and then back to his father's side, all of which shows the absurdity and chaos of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Unlike his demented father, Sima Shu was a brilliant child from an early age. When the palace caught fire, the five-year-old immediately took his grandfather Sima Yan to hide, and explained that he was afraid that someone would assassinate the Son of Heaven when he suddenly changed his life in a hurry.
Sima Shu's intelligence and potential were favored by Sima Yan and the others, and were even predicted to be able to revitalize the Sima family. However, as he grew up, he indulged in magic and pleasures, and even committed acts of hurting people and destroying property in the palace.
This led him to a conflict with Empress Jia's younger brother Jia Mi, who slandered Empress Jia for his own preservation, claiming that Sima Shu wanted to eliminate the Jia clan. Empress Jia was forced to take action and took drastic measures against Sima Shu.
Jia Nanfeng was scheming, and the emperor tricked the prince into the palace. forced the prince to eat drunken dates, and when he was half drunk and half awake, he was forced to write a prophecy for him: "Your Majesty should be self-sufficient, not self-conscious, I should be involved." The middle palace should be quick again, not self-conscious, I will take it. ”
This is what it means to let the emperor and empress abdicate as soon as possible. Sima Shu's handwriting was crooked while drunk, and Jia Nanfeng simply asked his cronies to help revise it, and then presented this "crime" to the emperor.
The fool emperor fell into a trap in this way, passed the paper to the ministers, and issued a decree to depose the crown prince. Kim Yong-seong became a cage for Sima Shu, and he became the third loser in the political struggle.
Jia Nanfeng, at the instigation of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, sent the eunuch Sun Shu to poison Sima Shu. Sima Shu refused to take the poison, and Sun Wei actually beat him to death with a pestle. This caused dissatisfaction in the clan, and Sima Lun took the opportunity to issue an edict and deposed Jia Nanfeng for the crime of murdering the prince.
A few months later, she was poisoned to death in Kim Yong City. Weiyang Palace has a new prince, and Kim Yong Cheng has added a new ghost. Jia Nanfeng's tortuous and sinful life came to an end, however, her death did not end the troubled times.
She killed the crown prince Sima Shu, which led to the fall of imperial power, and the Western Jin Dynasty lost its legitimate heir. In order to seize power, the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, which directly led to the later "Eight Kings Rebellion".
Jia Nanfeng, a noble and prominent woman, but her life came to an abrupt end in middle age, leaving behind only endless shame. As an empress, her cruelty and jealousy led her to kill her own flesh and blood with her own hands; As a politician, her brutal methods and the tragedy of being used by others eventually led to the collapse of the legal system of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Her life is full of regrets and remorse, which also makes her stink in the long river of history for thousands of years. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
