He was a second-rate and second-class scholar from Nandu, and his ancestor was killed by the Sima clan. There are criminal ministers in the family, and among the scholar class who pay attention to the gate valve, naturally they will not be able to share a little soup in the distribution of power in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. During the rebellion of Su Jun, his father was killed by the rebel generals Han Huang and Jiang Bohe. At the age of eighteen, he wept blood, hibernated for three years, mixed into Jiang Bo's funeral, stabbed the enemy's three sons, and finally avenged his father. This kind of chivalrous behavior of the rivers and lakes who are happy to take revenge is shocking in the circle of weak chickens of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After Emperor Jin Cheng heard the news, he married his sister Princess Nankang to him and became the emperor's brother-in-law.
He doesn't like to talk. Aiming at the vertical and horizontal, galloping the field, and establishing a great cause of world-class meritorious service. And released a bold statement: Even if it can't be celebrated for a hundred years, can't it be left for ten thousand years? Not taking the ordinary road and not saying ordinary words, he is destined to draw a strong stroke in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This lion is fierce and eager to "drink the blood of the Huns", clean up the mountains and rivers for the country, and create a country for the people.
Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, and neither of them can be as he wished.
His rise was born out of a civil strife. After Director Wang's death, the Shi family was ready to move, and the contradictions gradually became irreconcilable. Emperor Sima Shao of the Ming Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty was powerless to stop these conflicts, and after his death, he handed over the world to the five-year-old Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty. The power of the court fell into the hands of Yu Liang, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Yu. Yu Liang hopes to strengthen the centralization of power, but the increase of power means that the local power is reduced, and the weak balance maintained by "the king and the horse share the world" is broken. So the Su Jun Rebellion broke out, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was almost destroyed in this turmoil.
After extinguishing the turmoil, the Yu family handed over the power of **. In Jingzhou, an important town abroad, Yu Liang and his younger brother Yu Yi successively served as assassins for 11 years, controlling the upper reaches of Jiankang for a long time, showing the trend of Mount Tai pressing the top. Jingzhou is bordered by Qianghu in the north and Jinshu in the west, and its geographical location is very important. The Three Kingdoms period was the place where Liu Bei and Sun Quan fought desperately, and the Sima family didn't count it? Su Jun's rebellion led to the decline of Wang Xie's family, and other clans did not dare to reuse it. The Sima royal family, which has just experienced civil strife, urgently needs a ruthless character to suppress the field. Pick and choose, who else is more reliable than the emperor's brother-in-law? In the end, he was selected to replace the Yu family in Jingzhou.
He was often compared with Wang Dun and Liu Kun by people at the time. He was arguably the best of all the courtiers. In this way, as the door god of the Sima family, he was put on the stage of history.
He did not disappoint the Eastern Jin Dynasty either. In his first Northern Expedition, he led 10,000 people to destroy the "Cheng Han", one of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. In the second Northern Expedition, the former Qin Fujian turtle shrank in Chang'an and did not dare to move, and Yao Xiang of the Qiang tribe recovered the old capital Luoyang; In the third Northern Expedition, because the army was exhausted, he was defeated by the former Yan general Murong Chui in Fangtou and Xiangyi. He went on a northern expedition again and again, recovering Luoyang and pointing directly at Chang'an. He wrote to the imperial court again and again, requesting that the capital be moved to Luoyang. But the timid Sima royal family refused again and again. Even so, the military victory changed the sluggish style of the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime and gave people the confidence to recover the old mountains and rivers.
His ambition is hidden in his heart, and his pride soars to the sky. But although he has a heart, the Sima family has no intention. A general who has both talent and prestige, how can the royal family not be afraid? They tried every means to exclude him, leaving him isolated in the court, and in the end he had to fight alone. In 345 A.D., he left Jingzhou, was 34 years old, and struggled until 373, a full twenty-eight years. Originally, his troops were advancing with great momentum, and they were about to win another great victory, but the useless people in the court who coveted the power in his hands joined forces with the Sima family to prevent this victory, and they would rather not recover the Central Plains than watch him grow up and threaten the status of the scholars.
At the age of sixty, he returned home, and he felt a deep helplessness. Because of his illustrious background, he had always been eager to establish his prestige through the Northern Expedition and change the courtiers' perception of him. But even if he has outstanding military achievements and is in a high position, the famous family still looks down on him as a "veteran". The defeat of the Third Northern Expedition damaged the prestige he had accumulated over the years. He was not willing to be despised. One day, I lay alone on the bed and said to myself: If I am so obscure and swallow my anger, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing (Sima Yi, Sima **zi). Suddenly, he sat up and said the words that made the historian tremble: Since it can't be celebrated for a hundred years, it is better to leave it for ten thousand years!
So, in November 371, he brazenly raised troops into the court, abolished the emperor Sima Yi of the current dynasty, and established Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, as Emperor Jianwen of Jin. The reason is Sima Yi's "impotence"! Sima Yi probably wants to cry without tears: Big brother, it's not easy to talk about this matter, right? He was ambitious, so he didn't care about this, and wanted to plot to add Jiuxi, follow the example of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and depose the emperor in order to re-establish his authority. Since the founding of Sima Yan in the Jin Dynasty, there has never been an emperor who has been abolished, and his actions have really frightened the civil and military forces of the Manchu scholars. In fact, he himself was quite nervous in his heart, and even his former opponent, Fu Jian's nephew Fu Jian, had been honored as the "Great Qin Heavenly King", and commented on this matter: Nearly sixty years old, he didn't win the fight against my uncle a few years ago, and Murong Chui who went to fight Dayan didn't win, this does not admit his mistake to the people of the whole world, but abolishes the emperor, this old man may not have any good results!
Emperor Jianwen Sima Yu did not live long, and after only eight months as emperor, he drove to the west. He in Jingzhou is ready to move, and he actually has unrealistic fantasies in his heart, maybe Sima Yu will give up the throne to himself before he dies? Engage in an active "Zen concession"? Yes, although Sima Yu was afraid that he was terribly afraid, he agreed to let him assist the government and add him to the king. However, the clan group under his command was not afraid of death, and directly changed the emperor's edict, neither giving him the position of auxiliary government, nor adding nine tins to him. In the eyes of the noble group of scholars in power, although he has great merit and power, he is still a second-class scholar after all, and his background is too low to be worth mentioning. When he was alive, he hoped to get Jiuxi and become king in the south. Prior to this, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao and others all received such treatment, which was what he wanted all his life. But until he was sixty-two years old, he drove the crane west, and he did not wait for the coveted Jiuxi.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty benefited from him, because of his southern conquest and northern war, the Hu people in the north temporarily put aside their ambitions to go south, and the external troubles of the regime were alleviated. It was only because of the cowardice and incompetence of the Sima family that his dreams and his hegemony ended in vain. Back then, tens of thousands of his soldiers knocked on the gate of Chang'an and stopped at Bashang. Wang Meng, a famous man in Guanzhong, went to his military camp to "apply" for a staff member, and it was immediately clear that he was not determined to recover the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition, but only to gain fame. turned around and went back to Huashan to study, waiting until the appearance of Emperor Fu Jian.
In the final analysis, his ambitions, fate, and personality are quite similar to the intermediate between Cao Cao and Qi Jiguang. He did not have Cao Cao's decision, and he was born as a landlord of the Han clan, "I would rather teach me to bear the people of the world, and stop teaching the people of the world to bear me", so he simply coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, ignored the scholars at all, and directly paved the way for his son to ascend the throne. also does not have Qi Jiguang's flexibility, and his ambitions cannot be displayed, so he insists on currying favor with the first assistant, doing a good job in officialdom, and then doing things in a down-to-earth manner. He refused to fail the world, nor did he fail himself. He does not dare to usurp the throne at the top, and he will not be flexible at the bottom. Throughout his life, he swirled in vain fame and fortune, and his ambitions were all lost in the process of pursuing "equality" with high-ranking scholars.
In the tenth year of Yonghe, in 354 AD, he met an old woman in the military camp on Bashang, who happened to be Liu Kun's maid back then. The old woman exclaimed: It's really like Liu Sikong. He took Liu Kun as an example all his life, and when he heard the joy, he hurriedly asked: "Where is it like?" "The eyes are like, but they are a little smaller; The face is like a little thinner; The beard is like a little red; The body image is a little shorter; Talking like is a little more feminine. "The old woman is loyal, the Han people don't lie to the Han people, tell the truth. But he was so depressed and depressed that he was bedridden for days. This is the shadow caused by his family environment, he lacks self-confidence, likes to listen to other people's praise, and is depressed when he encounters setbacks. In the face of the "Brahmin", the momentum of the "Kshatriya" was a head shorter.
At the beginning, he was smart when he was a child, and he was loved by the celebrity Wen Qiao, so he took "Wen" as his name, which was "Huan Wen". This Wen Qiao is also the nephew of his idol Liu Kun.
In February 373 AD, the general Huan Wen led troops into the court, visited the emperor's mausoleum, and coerced the emperor and courtiers to add him Jiuxi, but did not get it. Everyone trembled, thinking that he would take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne, but they did not expect him to return to Gusu City soon because of illness. In Gusu City, he didn't make any superfluous moves, but kept forcing the imperial court to add nine tins. Xie An and Wang Tanzhi saw that Huan Wen was seriously ill, so they excused themselves from writing the unfinished article on Jia Jiuxi, and adopted the word "drag" until July of that year, and Huan Wen died with a whimper. The gate valve of the scholar clan has finally consumed this cold door to death. The imperial court has never added Jiuxi to him, but only posthumously presented him as the prime minister, and his nickname is Xuanwu! There is neither a hundred years of history, nor a stench of ten thousand years.
Ten years later, Fu Jianbing was on the verge of water, and Xie An faced his choice again! Forty-six years later, Liu Yu began his road of adding nine tins!
