In Chinese history, there have been many emperors, but not every emperor is known to us. Only those emperors who have great achievements or have had major events during their reign will remember them. The emperor mentioned in this issue is very bizarre. He was killed just because he joked with a woman after he was drunk.

Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao , is the ninth emperor of Eastern Jin . Sima Yao was named the king of Kuaiji at the age of four. His father, Emperor Jianwen of Jin, died. Sima Yao ascended the throne and inherited the throne at the age of 11. The government was controlled by the great wise man Xie An . The Eastern Jin Dynasty assisted by Xie An was in turmoil. At that time, the Jin Dynasty had a strong enemy Former Qin . Xie An was able to plan and defeat the Former Qin army, and the fortune of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was preserved.

The emperor who loves to joke

Sima Yao has two major hobbies in his life, one is drinking and the other is joking. Sima Yao is addicted to alcohol and is just a joke. Once, Emperor Xiaowu held a banquet for his ministers. He drank high his wine glass and said to everyone, "My dear friends, do you think of my level of governing the country?"

Most of the ministers were flatterers, so they rushed to answer: "My ability to govern the country is comparable to that of Taishan , overshadowing the Five Mountains." Sima Yao was not very satisfied when he heard this answer, so he asked again: "My ability to govern the country can be compared with which emperor in history?"

There are many excellent emperors in history, and the ministers don't know which emperor Sima Yao likes. If he says the wrong thing and sweeps the emperor's interest, it will be a big problem. Fortunately, there was a Qingzhou governor who was smart. He said, "My lord is civilized, martial, and extremely talented. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu is only worthy of being your apprentice. Gaozu of Han Liu Bang is only worthy of sighing when he looked at your back."

Sima Yao was very happy when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "I reward the Qingzhou governor's fertile land and a thousand pieces of silk and satin." The ministers present were shocked. Just a single flattery could be exchanged for so many rewards. Everyone was very regretful. Why didn't he flatter the emperor and delayed such a generous income? When the governor of Qingzhou heard this, he was also shocked and kowtowed and kowtowed and knelt down: "Thank you for your kindness."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yao smiled and said to the governor of Qingzhou: "No need to thank me, what I just said was a joke. If you use lies to praise me, I will also use lies to coax you. This is a reciprocity." After Sima Yao finished speaking, the ministers laughed. The governor of Qingzhou was very embarrassed, his face was redder than a monkey's butt.

Sima Yao is joking all the time, and even complacent about his joking creativity. But who knows that it is precisely because of joking that his life tragedy slowly kicked off.

joke was killed

In 396 AD, in the Qingshu Hall in the harem, Emperor Xiaowu invited his beloved concubine Zhang Guiren to drink with him. Emperor Xiaowu drank a little high, so he joked to Concubine Zhang, "Look at you, you are nearly thirty years old, and your beauty is no better than before. You haven't had a child yet, and you have a noble position in vain. I will ruin you tomorrow and find another new person to replace you."

Sima Yao was drinking a little high, and he was just a joke, but who knew that Concubine Zhang had the intention to kill. After all, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has his intention. She helped Sima Yao to sleep, then secretly found a confidant palace maid. While Sima Yao was sleeping, she covered his face with a quilt, and then used a heavy object to press it on Sima Yao's body. Sima Yao struggled for a while and was suffocated to death by a palace maid.

Conclusion

After Sima Yao's death, Concubine Zhang said that Sima Yao had "nightmare collapsed" in his sleep, and Sima Yao's younger brother Sima Daozi was dissatisfied with Sima Yao during Sima Yao's reign. This time, he was naturally very happy to hear that his brother died.Sima Yao's son Sima Dezong succeeded to the throne, but this child was very stupid and could not even distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter, so that the imperial power fell into the hands of Sima Daozi and his son Sima Yuanxian.

Facts have proved that don’t joke with women. A joke can really put yourself in a desperate situation.
