Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty Sima Zhong was the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty . He was quite well-known. This was not because of his special achievements, but because he was famous for his stupidity. When he was the prince, Sima Zhong left many dumbfounding jokes. After becoming the emperor, his inability to govern led to chaos in the world. However, I feel that Sima Zhong is not really dementia, he is even better than some current experts! So, what is going on?
1. Seemingly Foolish but Not Foolish
Once, Sima Zhong went to Hualin Garden to play, when the toad in the pond started to scream. Sima Zhong suddenly had an idea. He asked the attendants around him: "Are these chirping things for the public or for private people?" It's for the public; if it's called in private, it's for the private." One year, there was a famine in the world, and many people died of hunger, so someone reported the matter to Sima Zhong.
Emperor Hui of Jin said: "Why not eat minced meat?" He meant that since the people had no food to eat, why not eat meat porridge? This answer is even more speechless, but if we analyze it carefully, we will find the problem with Sima Zhong. Sima Zhong was the son of Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan. He grew up in an imperial family and lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. He had no understanding of the lives of the lower class people. In his opinion, when he had no food to eat, he would If you can eat meat porridge, so can the common people.
2. Better than experts
Affected by the environment, Sima Zhong has no contact with the bottom of society, so naturally he will not understand their situation. Just like people today, I am afraid that many people are also " regardless of ". However, one thing should be explained. Sima Zhong's qualifications are slightly worse than ordinary people, and his reaction is slower. Coupled with environmental and education factors, he appears to be very ignorant. It should be said that Sima Zhong's confusion is really confusion, but some people just pretend to be confused because they understand!
Some so-called experts today often make very bizarre remarks. For example, a professor from Southeast University believes that "China's urban pollution is not caused by cars, but by bicycles. Bicycles pollute more than cars!" An economist said: "Spending money is the most important thing. A good patriotic way is to spend all your money and bring glory to the country. "A few days ago, a professor named Dong said: "Farmers buy houses in the county and drive back to the village to farm. "These people are pretending to be ignorant." What a confused Sima Zhong!
3. Ji Shi Zhongxue
html In 1304, Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea , hijacked Emperor Hui of Jin for a northern expedition, but suffered a disastrous defeat in Dangyin. In the chaos, Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhong, was also wounded. All the bearers responsible for carrying his sedan chair were killed. All the civil and military officials around him fled in all directions, leaving only the servant Ji Shao . "Ji Shao, in court uniform, dismounted and mounted. Chariot, to defend the emperor with one's body." The rebel soldiers came to Emperor Hui of Jin and wanted to kill Ji Shao. Emperor Hui of Jin loudly said: "You are a loyal minister, please don't kill me!" The rebel soldiers replied: "I am following the orders of my brother, but I will not offend any of His Majesty's ears!"
After that, Ji Shao was killed, and his blood splashed on Emperor Hui of Jin's clothes, "The Emperor Deeply lament it." After the matter calmed down, the attendants around him wanted to wash the blood-stained clothes for Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty. Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhong, refused and said: "This servant is bleeding, don't go." Therefore, many historians believe that Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty was not an idiot. Alas! " I personally think that although Sima Zhong is stupid, he is by no means a fool. Although he is confused, he is better than someone who pretends to be confused!
