The one who prospers Jin Zuo is comparable to the Duke of Zhou: How did Sima Yu become the shortest reigning emperor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

" Rebellion of the Eight Kings ", the Central Plains was in turmoil, Emperor Jin and Yuan Sima Rui and Wang Dao planned a grand drama of crossing the south, according to Jiangzuo it was partial. Sima Rui relied on Wang Dao and Wang Dun to establish a political power on the side of peace. At that time, people called it "The king and the horse share the world" . However, starting from Sima Rui, the emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were like puppets. If the imperial power succumbed to the aristocratic family, then the Eastern Jin Dynasty would seem to be peaceful, but if the emperor wanted to touch the aristocratic family's cake, it would cause a series of turmoil. Sima Yu , known as the person who can revive Jin Zuo, "Ling De Yawang, the Duke of Zhou of the country" , why did he pass away in grief and anger after only eight months of his reign?

1. Tranquility, few desires and high morals

The Eastern Jin Dynasty's partial security thought has been established since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Sima Rui watched from the sidelines during the clan strife and the turmoil in the Central Plains. The new emperor wins over aristocratic families from the north and the south, "The town is quiet, and the people are at peace" . The high-ranking politicians in the Eastern Jin Dynasty never regarded the restoration of the Central Plains as their own responsibility. If the emperor An Jing was a mascot, the aristocratic families would be happy to pretend, but as long as the emperor wanted to cheer up the imperial family, those powerful families would directly lead the army to kill them. Go to the capital Jiankang to threaten the emperor. And if the powerful ministers in power make great contributions, this "peace and tranquility" good situation will be broken again, and the emperor will not hesitate to appoint ministers to suppress the family. How could he consider that it was unarmed civilians who suffered in the fall of their homeland?

Faced with the destruction of the homeland, the displacement of the people, and the invasion of the Central Plains by "barbarians", even if the literati and bureaucrats of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a good time drinking, they could not comfort their spiritual emptiness. big impact.The loss of his father at the age of three and the loss of his mother at the age of seven were not insignificant blows to Sima Yu. He grew up in an instant The metaphysical atmosphere of the Eastern Jin Dynasty allowed him to develop a character of innocence and asceticism, and also won him a very high starting point for his future official career.

Second, the official career was smooth, and he was in charge of the government for the first time in the third year of Xianhe (328). That's how the kids come together. When Sima Rui was in power, Wang Dun, a powerful minister, caused chaos. Sima Yan had no one to use, so he had to promote his younger brother Sima Yue and his uncle Sima Yu of the same age. Ren Hussar General. In the fifth year of Xiankang (339), Sima Yue was promoted to Shizhong and Situ. In the second year, Sima Yu was promoted to general of Fujun and chief secretary supervisor. In the eighth year of Xiankang (342), when Sima Yan was dying, he took Sima Yue as the heir to the throne, and Sima Yu, king of Kuaiji, as the minister of Gu Ming.

In the second year of Jianyuan (344), Sima Yue and his elder brother were equally short-lived, leaving the young Sima Dan as emperor, and the queen mother Chu Suanzi as regent. The empress dowager's father Chu Po came out of the town and held a heavy army. The court wanted to call him back to take power, but Liu Xia, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Shi Wang Huzhi, Commander of the General Guards, persuaded Chu Po not to accept it. Zhou Gong also, it is advisable to pay the big government with one step." , Sima Yu was worshiped by the queen mother as the general of the Fu army, and initially grasped the power of the country. At the same time, a person who had been entangled with Sima Yu all his life was introduced into the cardinal by He Chong, another auxiliary minister, to counter Yu Yuanzhi, the son of the late powerful minister Yu Yi. This person was Huan Wen.

Third, it is not true

the Sima family, who lost a large part of their homeland due to internal strife, is in a bad situation in Jiangzuo. A young and extremely popular Sima Yu is the representative of the clan who was pushed out by the Queen Mother Chu Suanzi after many compromises. Sima Yuzhi is not in charge of the army, but his "superficial" work is very good: he can shut himself at home and reflect because he doesn't know what is grown in the field. ;He can tell that celebrities Xie An don't really want to hide from the world just by the good rhythm; He thought it was very good, and also prevented the guests from trying to punish the soldier who killed the rat. Sima Yu, who is highly respected, was also praised as "Ling Deya Wang, the Duke of Zhou of the country" .

A good reputation does not mean good ability. Not only does Sima Yu have no talent for governing the world, but when he was prime minister, he was extremely procrastinated in handling affairs. Huan Wen wrote a letter of encouragement, but Sima Yu complained that there were too many things. ; Similarly, Sima Yu has no military talent, and Sima Yu, who can't control the army, will not have the right to speak no matter how he is promoted, and because he is held hostage by powerful officials, "just keeps silent and guards the way, and is often afraid of being dethroned" Foreshadowing. When Huan Wen was brought here by He Chong, he was humble and condescending. Sima Yu admired his talent and entrusted him with important use, but unexpectedly he was a tiger. Sima Yu appointed Yin Hao to resist the full-fledged Huan Wen. The failure caused this talented man to be exiled, the people's livelihood was exhausted, and it even forced Huan Wen from a friend to an opposition.Finally, Huan Wen initiated the Jin Dynasty precedent for the abolition of the founding of the country, and it was Sima Yu who was established by him. At this time, Sima Yu had only ten months left to live.

"Although the spiritual consciousness is smooth, there is no general plan to help the world." The emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and his officials did not think about making progress. Sima Yu suffered greatly from it. He served in seven dynasties. Huan Wen, the power minister, finally took advantage of the glimmer of hope. "Xuanxuan is like the morning glow", "Naturally as bright as a god", Sima Yu failed to discover and prevent Huan Wen from planning the abolition of the establishment in time when he was grooming his gorgeous feathers. Unable to stop Huan Wen's dictatorship, he died in sorrow and anger. Born at the wrong time, not allowed to die, Sima Yu's life of "Xing Jin Zuo" is so sad.
