Ancient Chinese society, if a man was born in the royal family, the most attractive position was the crown prince. The prince means that one person is inferior to ten thousand people, and one day he will become the supreme emperor in the world. However, the dethronement of the prince was very artificial. Around the position of the prince, all dynasties have staged scenes of tragedy and comedy .
In the history of China, which is still like a sea of smoke, it has a feudal history of more than two thousand years. From Qin Shihuang swept the six kingdoms and destroyed the six kingdoms and called the emperor to the last dynasty. From this, a particularly wonderful phenomenon was discovered. The founding princes of each unified dynasty had no good ending, and they were always shrouded in it. Then let’s explore the tragic princes in history one by one!
Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Zhong,
The first prince of Jin Dynasty was Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Zhong, who was born in 259. In 267, Sima Zhong was made the crown prince at the age of nine. On April 20, 290, Emperor Wu of Jin died. Crown Prince Sima Zhong ascended the throne. He was the general amnesty and changed the year name to Yongxi . After Sima Zhong came to power, he trusted the queen very much Jia Nanfeng . Therefore, Empress Jia was tyrannical and even faked Sima Zhong's edict, and Emperor Hui of Jin was demented and did not take responsibility.
In the ninth year of Yuankang (299), Jia Nanfeng began to persecute the prince and first abolished his position as the prince. The following year, the prince was murdered. This move became the starting point for many royal families who opposed Empress Jia's dictatorship to start their actions. Queen Jia Nanfeng, queen of , killed Yang Jun and took control of the power. In The Eight Kings Rebellion , King Zhao usurped the throne and regarded Emperor Hui as the Supreme Emperor and imprisoned in Jinyong City . The King of Qi and the King of Chengdu rose up and rebelled against Sima Lun, and welcomed Emperor Hui of Jin to restore the throne. Later, Emperor Hui was held hostage by the kings, like a puppet, and was humiliated.
In the first year of Yongning (301), after Sima Lun usurped the throne, he proclaimed himself emperor, Sima Zhong was regarded as the emperor, and The crown prince Sima Zang was killed. In March, King Qi Sima Jiong raised an army to rebel against Sima Lun, and was supported by King Chengdu Sima Ying , Hejian Sima Yong, Changshan Sima Yi and others. Sima Lun was defeated. Huailing King Sima Han killed Sima Lun's gangsters, expelled Sima Lun, and led Sima Zhong to restore the throne. Simalun was killed. In May, King Sima Shang of Xiangyang was appointed as the crown prince, and sheep Xianrong was appointed as the queen. In June, King Sima Rui of Donglai planned to overthrow Sima Jiong's autocracy, but the matter was misleading. In December, Lite began to fight against Jin in Sichuan, which is the starting point for to become Han .
The Eight Kings Rebellion
November of the first year of Guangxi (January 8, 307), Sima Zhong died in the Xianyang Palace in Luoyang at the age of 48. It is said that he was poisoned by the King of Donghai Sima Yue . After his death, he was buried in the Taiyang Mausoleum (now Luoyang, Henan) with a posthumous title of Emperor Xiaohui. His younger brother Sima Chi (284-313) ascended the throne and changed his reign to Yongjia, which is Emperor Huai of Jin. Anecdotes about Sima Zhong:
cheating problem solving
Sima Zhong has a low IQ since he was a child, Sima Yan is very worried about this, worried that Sima Zhong would lose the family business founded by his ancestors. Once, in order to test Sima Zhong's thinking ability, Sima Yan specially asked him several questions and limited him to hand over the paper within three days. After Sima Zhong got the question, he didn't know how to answer it. His wife Jia Nanfeng was a very smart person. Seeing this, he immediately invited several learned old gentlemen to answer the questions for Sima Zhong.
Sima Yan thought his son's mind was still very clear, so he felt relieved. However, as soon as Sima Yan died, Sima Zhong ascended the throne and asked him to make a decision when something happened, so he made a lot of jokes.
Official toad
One summer, Sima Zhong and his followers went to Hualin Garden to play. They walked to a pond and heard the sound of cooing frogs coming from it. Sima Zhong felt it was very strange, so he asked the followers whether they were screaming for officials or private matters? The follower said, "If you call it in the official's house, it is from the official's house; if you call it in the private house, it is from the private house."
Why not eat meat minced
Another year, there was a famine. The people had no food to eat, and there were people who starved to death everywhere. Someone reported the situation to Sima Zhong, but Sima Zhong said to the reporter: "If there is no food to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge? "When the report heard this, he was amused and crying. The victims could not even eat food. Where did the meat porridge come from? This shows how stupid and confused Sima Zhong was.
Ji Shizhong's blood
The first year of Yongxing (304), Shi Chao's army suddenly arrived. Sima Zhong's army was defeated in the throne. Sima Zhong's face was injured and he was shot three arrows. All officials and guards fled one after another. Only Ji Shao 2 wore the dress of the court meeting, got off the horse and boarded Sima Zhong's carriage, and stood up to defend the emperor. Shi Chao's soldiers pulled Ji Shao to the shaft of the carriage to chop and kill. Sima Zhong said: "This is a loyal minister, don't kill him! "The answer was: "According to the orders of the Crown Prince (Sima Ying), his only one will not infringe upon His Majesty. "So he killed Ji Shao, and blood splattered on Sima Zhong's clothes. Sima Zhong sighed for his death. When the war sank, the attendant wanted to wash the imperial clothes. Sima Zhong said, "This is Ji Shizhong's blood, don't wash it away." ”
I didn’t expect that Sima Yi Sima Zhao had such offspring…

was made the prince html l9
Yang Yong was named Marquis of Bo'an for his grandfather Yang Zhong's meritorious deeds. Later, Yang Jian was in charge of politics and made Yang Yong the crown prince, and was appointed as the general and the guard of the left rank, and was named Duke of Changning County. In September of the second year of the elephant (580), Yang Yong was appointed as the general manager of Luozhou and the Xiaozhongzai of Tokyo, and the general general manager was in charge of the Northern Qi. Later, he was summoned to Beijing and promoted to the throne to the throne of pillar . The Grand Sima, the commander of the Inner Shishi, and managed the palace and the defense.
On February 14th of the first year of Kaihuang (581), his father Yang Jian ascended the throne and established the Sui Dynasty. He was Emperor Wen of Sui. On February 17th, Emperor Wen of Sui made Yang Yong the crown prince, and all military, national and political affairs were ordered to participate in the decision.
The favor was sharply reduced
Yang Yong is handsome, is studious by nature, is good at vocabulary, has a generous and gentle personality, and is straightforward, and is not pretentious. His friends include Ming Kerang, Yao Cha , Lu Kaiming, etc., who were all literati at that time. Yang Yong once played a piece of Shu armor, and Emperor Wen of Sui was worried that he would have a bad habit of luxury, so he gave a warning.
After that winter solstice, all officials came to see Yang Yong, and Yang Yong was happy to accept their congratulations.Emperor Wen of Sui asked his ministers what kind of etiquette this was. Taichang Shaoqing Xin Tan said that the Eastern Palace should only use congratulations, not courtesy. Emperor Wen of Sui believed that Yang Yong violated the etiquette system, so he ordered his ministers not to see Yang Yong with courtesy, and his favor for Yang Yong was gradually decreasing, which increased his suspicion. Later, when Emperor Wen of Sui chose the guards, he chose all the powerful force to his side. Gao Bing advised that this would probably be too weak for the guards who protected the prince of the East Palace. This made Emperor Wen of Sui quite unhappy. He believed that Gao Bing helped him speak because his son Gao Biaoren was Yang Yong's son-in-law, and he was even more wary of him from then on.
was abolished as a commoner
Yang Yong was lustful by nature and loved luxury. He had many concubines and treasures. Among them, Yun Zhaoxun was particularly favored because of his beautiful appearance and gave birth to three sons. The treatment he received was even comparable to that of his family, which made Yang Yong's mother, Queen Wenxian, Dugu Jialuo, quite dissatisfied.
Yang Yong's wife Yuanfei is not favored, she became angry and died within two days. Yang Yong immediately asked Yun Zhaoxun to preside over the prince's uterus. Dugu Jialuo believed that Yang Yong and Yun Zhaoxun conspired to kill his legitimate wife. Not only did he blame Yang Yong, but he also sent someone to investigate. King Yang Guang of Jin knew that his mother was dissatisfied with his brother, so he pretended that he had no concubines and only stayed with Concubine Xiao. So Dugu Jialuo hated Yang Yong even more and praised Yang Guang's virtue. Every time Dugu Jialuo complained about Yun's favor and lamented that Yuan's death, Yang Guang was heartbroken, making Dugu Jialuo love Yang Guang even more, and intends to depose Yang Yong's position as crown prince and make Yang Guang the crown prince. Yang Yong was scared of this, but he had no choice. Emperor Wen of Sui knew that he was uneasy and sent Yang Su to observe him. However, Yang Su deliberately angered Yang Yong and made Yang Yong say complaining. From then on, Emperor Wen of Sui suspected him even more. Dugu Jialuo, Yang Guang and others were observing his every move and slandering Emperor Wen of Sui. In addition, Yang Yong had many complaints, so Emperor Wen of Sui deposed Yang Yong as a commoner and changed Yang Guang as the crown prince.
It is hard to meet my father
Many ministers believe that Yang Yong's crimes will not be deposed, and the destruction of the crown prince is a major event, but Emperor Wen of Sui refused to listen. Yang Yong also confessed his guilt and was not deposed. He repeatedly asked to meet Emperor Wen of Sui, wanting to tell Emperor Wen of Sui about his injustice, but he was stopped by Crown Prince Yang Guang and could not achieve his wish. In desperation, Yang Yong climbed onto the tree and shouted loudly to Emperor Wen of Sui, hoping that Emperor Wen of Sui could meet him after hearing this. Yang Su took the opportunity to slander Emperor Wen of Sui and said, "Yang Yong has lost his mind and is possessed by a demon, and his soul cannot be taken back." Emperor Wen of Sui also felt so, so Yang Yong was unable to meet Emperor Wen of Sui after all. Yang Su falsified Yang Yong, and the same is true for the way and charges.
Edict was sentenced to death by
Until Emperor Wen was ill in Renshou Palace, the crown prince and Emperor Wen's concubine were both with him. "Zizhi Tongjian " and "Sui Shu " record that Mrs. Xuanhua was "rude" by Prince Yang Guang. After Mrs. Xuanhua told Emperor Wen about this, Emperor Wen learned that Yang Yong had been wronged and scolded Empress Dugu and Yang Guang. He sent someone to summon Yang Yong into the palace, preparing to depose Yang Guang and restore Yang Yong as the crown prince. However, the matter was intercepted by Yang Guang, and Emperor Wen died suddenly. Yang Guang ascended the throne and immediately made a false edict of Emperor Wen and sentenced Yang Yong to death. Emperor Yang Later, Yang Yong was posthumously named King Fangling, but his descendants were not allowed to inherit his throne and were all exiled to Jinan. Most of them were later killed by Yang Guang.
Personal understanding: If Yang Yong could take up the throne, he would not be stronger than Yang Guang, because Yang Guang had a lofty mind, destroyed Nanchen, Tong Western Regions , built Luoyang, modified weights and measures, crossed snow-capped mountains to inspect the border, and dug canals, and abused people's strength led to his later destruction. Yang Guang was just a tyrant and was not a foolish and incompetent king.
The crown prince is the crown prince, the future lord of a country. Behind him is a powerful force, a force that can change the court. We call it the crown prince.
There is no doubt that the deposed crown prince will definitely involve the interests or honor of this force, and they will inevitably oppose it to the death. If handled improperly, there could be a catastrophic consequence.To depose the crown prince, one must be very cautious, and this is the root of Yang Jian’s concern.
Therefore, Yang Yong lost the position of prince because he was completely self-defeated. He could not blame anyone, nor could he blame Yang Guang. The performance of this guy in the whole incident can be highly summarized in two words: idiot. It is reasonable to be able to lose the position of prince in his hands! Even if he can really become an emperor, he may not be a good emperor!
