During the Jin Dynasty, the aristocratic families became too powerful to be eliminated, resulting in talented people being demoted to lower positions and mediocre people occupying the court.
The people who made decisions in the court were often some drunkards, and even the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had a fool like Sima Zhong as the emperor.
This is the sign and beginning of the chaotic times
Since Sima Zhong, the Jin Hui Emperor who inherited the throne of Sima Yan, was a fool, Sima Zhong's queen Jia Nanfeng took advantage of Sima Zhong's trust and favor for her and began to monopolize power and make trouble in the palace and the court.
Queen Jia Nanfeng was so authoritarian that she was even arrogant and domineering. She could even forge the edict of Emperor Sima Zhong.
In the first year of Yongping, Jia Nanfeng persecuted the queen of the previous emperor Sima Yan, that is, the empress dowager of the Jin Dynasty, and abolished the empress dowager's position as empress dowager.
Then, in order to hold on to power, Jia Nanfeng killed Sima Liang, a prince of the Jin Dynasty and the prime minister.
In the same year, the empress dowager was killed in Jinyong City.
Due to Jia Nanfeng's perverse behavior, the clan members of the Sima family also saw the incompetence of the foolish emperor Sima Zhong.
So the ambitions of the clan members of the Sima family began to sprout.
Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Queen Jia Nanfeng and then depose the foolish emperor Sima Zhong, so as to become the emperor themselves.
The root of the turmoil in the Jin Dynasty began from then on.
In the fourth and sixth years of Yuankang, the Xiongnu and some other Hu tribes rebelled, exacerbating the already unstable situation of the Jin Dynasty.
Qi Wannian 297, a chief of the Di tribe, dared to openly proclaim himself emperor during this period.
This shows how far the power of the Jin Dynasty had fallen!
This rebellion, which began in the sixth year of Yuankang, lasted for three years until the ninth year of Yuankang before it was eliminated.
In the ninth year of Yuankang, before the rebellion of the Di chieftain Qi Wannian had just been assessed, Empress Jia Nanfeng began to persecute Sima Zhong's crown prince, Sima Yu.
First, he was abolished from his position as crown prince, and the following year, Jia Nanfeng murdered the crown prince.
This move became the starting point for many royal family members who opposed the dictatorship of Empress Jia to take action...
The most ambitious King Zhao Sima Lun took the lead in starting the rebellion.
He forged an imperial edict to abolish and kill Empress Jia Nanfeng, killed Sikong Zhang Hua and others, and became the prime minister himself, holding the power of the government in his own hands.
Restored the status of the original crown prince who had been abolished and killed by Jia Nanfeng, and established Sima Zang, the son of the former crown prince, as the crown prince.
However, Sima Lun's move was not to correct the government of the Jin Dynasty, but to imitate Dong Zhuo's deeds and prepare for his own future as emperor.
After gaining power, Sima Lun also began to act in a perverse way, revealing his ambition.
In August of the first year of Yongkang, Huainan King Sima Yun saw that Sima Lun had gained benefits, and also wanted to imitate Sima Lun and replace Sima Lun.
So he raised an army to attack Sima Lun, but this (bacb) Sima Yun had ambition but noStrength, and soon defeated and killed.
In December of the same year, Yizhou Governor Zhao Xin led refugees who fled from the Central Plains to Shuzhong and rebelled in Shuzhong.
Wanted to emulate Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, during the chaotic period of the Jin Dynasty, he established his own kingdom in Shuzhong and became an independent kingdom.
From this, we can see how absurd the Jin Dynasty was.
This would happen in the end of the Han Dynasty four hundred years after its establishment, but it happened after only a few decades of the Jin Dynasty...
The throne was only passed on to the second generation...
And the ambitious Sima Lun soon couldn't bear it anymore.
He was not willing to be just a prime minister, but to become a real emperor.
So in the first year of Yongning, Sima Lun usurped the throne and established himself as emperor. The original Jin Dynasty emperor, the foolish Sima Zhong, was worshipped as the emperor.
The crown prince Sima Zang was killed.
And Sima Lun's usurpation of the throne finally gave other Sima clan members who were dormant in the dark and had great ambitions a pretext.
In March of the first year of Yongning, Sima Jiong, the King of Qi, raised an army against Sima Lun and was supported by Sima Ying, the King of Chengdu, Sima Yong, the King of Hejian, and Sima Yi, the King of Changshan.
Facing the joint attack of several Sima princes, Sima Lun, who had just usurped the throne, was defeated.
Sima Yi, the King of Huailing, killed Sima Lun's followers, expelled Sima Lun, and drove Sima Lun out of Luoyang.
The deposed foolish emperor Sima Zhong was once again welcomed to the throne.
Sima Lun, who was expelled from Luoyang, was killed immediately afterwards.
In May, Sima Jiong, the King of Qi, made Sima Shang, the King of Xiangyang, the crown prince, and Yang Xianrong the new queen of Emperor Sima Zhong.
In June, Sima Rui, the King of Donglai, plotted to overthrow Sima Jiong's dictatorship, but the plot was leaked and he was dismissed.
In December, Li Te began to rebel against Jin in Shuzhong, which was the starting point of Cheng Han among the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Northern and Southern Dynasties...
In May of the first year of Tai'an, Li Te defeated the army sent by Sima Yong to attack him in Sichuan, killed Zhang Wei, the governor of Guanghan, and established himself as the general.
In December, Sima Ying, Sima Yong, Sima Xin, the King of Xinye, and Sima Hu, the King of Fanyang, gathered in Luoyang to oppose Sima Jiong's dictatorship. (To read the violent novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
Sima Yi took the opportunity to kill Sima Jiong, replaced Sima Jiong, and became a powerful official in the court.
In March of the second year of Tai'an, Li Te was killed when attacking Chengdu.
In April, his son Li Xiong occupied Chengdu.
By the end of the year, Li Xiong had almost occupied the entire Shuzhong Basin.
In May, Zhang Chang and Qiu Shen rebelled, founded the Han Dynasty, and killed Sima Xin.
In August, Sima Ying and Sima Yong attacked Sima Yi.
In October, Sima Yong's army entered Chang'an, and more than 10,000 people died in the subsequent looting.
After that, the two armies faced each other outside Chang'an, and even 13-year-old boys were recruited into the army.
Because of the battle between the two armies, a large number of elite troops of the Jin Dynasty were consumed. In order to replenish their troops, both armies recruited troops such as the Xiongnu and absorbed a large number of Hu people and foreigners into the army.
Finally, after a competitionAfterwards, Sima Yi was defeated and killed, and Sima Yong took control of the power and became an important figure in the Jin Dynasty.
In the first year of Yong'an, the foolish emperor Sima Zhong was increasingly threatened by Sima Yong, so he issued a secret decree to Liu Shen and Huangfu Chong to attack Sima Yong, but failed.
Sima Yong's army then looted Luoyang.
In February of the first year of Yong'an, this powerful official deposed Empress Yang, deposed Crown Prince Sima Tan, and established Sima Ying as Crown Prince.
Sima Ying and Sima Yong were in power.
But in June, another coup took place in Luoyang, Sima Ying was expelled, Yang was restored as Empress, and Sima Tan was restored as Crown Prince. []
In July, Sima Zhong led his army to attack Sima Ying, but was defeated by Sima Ying's army in Dangyin. Emperor Sima Zhong was wounded in the face and shot by three arrows, and was captured by Sima Ying.
In August, Sima Ying was defeated by General Wang Jun of Anbei, who took Sima Zhong hostage and fled to Luoyang, eating only coarse rice along the way.
In November, Sima Zhong was again abducted to Chang'an by Zhang Fang, a general of Sima Yong. Zhang Fang's army robbed the palace and looted all the treasures in the palace.
By the end of the year, Sima Yong once again took power in Chang'an, and Sima Yue became the Grand Tutor.
In the same year, Li Xiong, the son of Li Te who rebelled in Shu, proclaimed himself the King of Chengdu in Chengdu and founded Chenghan.
And Liu Yuan, a Xiongnu who had served in the Jin army, proclaimed himself the King of Han and established the Former Zhao.
A real chaotic world finally began with the mutual attacks of the Sima princes.
However, these Sima princes still did not repent and did not see that the unified foundation of the Jin Dynasty was already in danger, but continued to do their own thing.
In the second year of Yongxing, the armies of Sima Yong, Zhang Fang, Sima Ying, Sima Yue and Fanyang King Sima Hu fought in the Central Plains. Basically, the authority of the Jin Dynasty was completely gone.
Counties and some ambitious tyrants in the world began to compete for independence, just like the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty.
By the end of the second year of Yongxing, Sima Yue won, and Sima Yong killed Zhang Fang and asked Sima Yue for peace, but it was ineffective.
In the first year of Guangxi, the Xianbei army under Sima Yue attacked Chang'an, looted on a large scale, and more than 20,000 people were killed.
In September, Sima Ying was captured and later killed.
The Eight Kings Rebellion finally came to an end...
