Eastern Jin dynasty politics 田余庆 7966Words 2018-03-16
Xi Jian, a native of Jinxiang, Gaoping, was the great-great-grandson of Xi Li, the royal official during Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.Xi Xi was a disciple of Zheng Xuan, a master of Confucian classics.According to "Book of Jin" Volume 67 "Biography of Xi Jian", Xi Jian "read the classics extensively" and "written with elegance", and did not change Xi Xi's family style, and belonged to the old family of Confucianism since the Eastern Han Dynasty.During the period of the Jin and Jin Dynasties, from the perspective of fashion, the officials of the Xi family were not particularly prominent, and the characters did not talk about Xuan Xuan. Compared with the Wang and Pei families, the Xi family was not very high in the gentry class. Family status.

Xijian started his business. According to this legend: "The king of the East China Sea, Yue, is the master, and it is impossible to promote the virtuous." Yanzhou Mu, with Jiang Tong as his other driver, entrusted him with state affairs.Jiang Tong was ordered by King Yue of the East China Sea to regard Xi Jian as a virtuous man.That is to say, Xi Jian had a certain political relationship with King Yue of the East China Sea through Jiang Tong, but it was not deep.After the fall of Luoyang, Xi Jian did not cross to the south, and took possession of Yishan (Zoushan) with more than a thousand families of the clan's township party.Later, Xi Jian was invaded by Shi Le and began to move southward. He surrendered to Hefei in July of the first year of Emperor Yongchang of Yuan Dynasty (322). Eleven years had passed since the fall of Luoyang.Ji Zhan recommended Xi to live in Kyoto in view of Emperor Jin and Yuan, who enlisted Jian as a minister.

Regarding Xi Jiannan, "Book of Jin" did not clearly state whether his scale was to lead his troops or his family.Tao Hongjing's "Zhengao" Volume 15 "Explaining Youwei No. 1" notes: Xijian "in the first year of Yongchang led all the refugees to cross the east of the river" and so on.Judging from the fact that Xi Jian was first stationed in Hefei during his trip to the south, and then frequently traveled between Hefei and Jiankang, it is credible that Xi Jian led refugees.However, the refugees from the south were generally stationed in Hefei and did not cross the river.It was a general rule at that time that the refugees led by the commander-in-chief were not allowed to cross the river to Jiankang, not only Xijian's department.Therefore, "Zhengao" said that Xijian "led all the refugees to cross the east of the river", but it was just a general statement and not exact.Xi Jian, as the commander of the refugees, placed the refugees in Hefei and was conscripted into the court.Zhengzhao Xijian, this is a gesture of the Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to express his trust in him, and of course it also means to restrain him and observe him.Xi Jian was unwilling to disregard the trilogy he commanded, so that he would lose his reliable strength.Therefore, he himself continued to keep in touch with the refugees he led, and frequently traveled between Hefei and Jiankang.

When Xi Jiannan came, Wang Dun's rebellion had already begun.Wang Dun changed hundreds of officials in the capital, moved to Fangzhen, and killed Dai Yuan, Zhou Wei and others who were "the hope of the north and the south".However, the gentry figures who acquiesced to Wang Dunxing's resistance to Liu Kui and Diao Xie did not support Wang Dun's usurpation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Taiyuan Wang Qiao, Taiyuan Wen Qiao, Chen Jun Xie Kun, etc. all expressed this. Against Wang Dun.Wang Dun had to return to Wuchang temporarily to control the government from a distance.After Emperor Ming ascended the throne, Wang Dun was about to raise troops again, so he moved the town of Gushu, stationed in the lake, and planned to set up Wang Chong in the East China Sea.Fearing Wang Dun's force, Emperor Ming left Hefei, Xijian Town, and relied on the strength of his refugees as foreign aid.Wang Dun didn't want Xi Jian to use the refugees as the horns of the imperial court, so he asked Xi Jian to be the minister, so Xi Jian had to return to the capital.At this time, it was just one year since Xi Jiannan came, but he had gradually fallen into the vortex of the struggle of the gentry clan, and became a very important figure affecting the political situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

When Xi Jian returned to Jiankang, according to this legend, "then conspired with the emperor to destroy Dun", which is a very noteworthy piece of information.The content of Xi Jian's plan to destroy Wang Dun is unknown in historical records.According to Xijian's plans in the next year (the second year of Taining, 324) when Emperor Ming attacked Wang Dun, refer to "Book of Jin" Volume 74 "Huan Yi Biography" Emperor Ming will beg for Dun, "worship Yi Sanqi as a regular servant, refer to Conspiracy" matter, it can be seen that Xi Jian's plan is mainly to use the troops of the refugees to control Wang Dun.At that time, although the powerful and noble families did not support Wang Dun's usurpation, they had not yet firmly stood by the court.The imperial court does not yet have a clear advantage over Wang Dun.Therefore, Emperor Ming could only raise money from the lower gentry figures Xi Jian and Huan Yi, and Xi and Huan could only ask for help from refugees other than the powerful gentry.This is a major event that affected the political situation of the Ming and Cheng dynasties, and it is worth exploring in detail.

During the reign of Emperor Ming, the military situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very difficult.In addition to Wang Dun, there are also Tao Kan and Zuyue who support soldiers and powerful feudal clans.Tao Kan has been sent to Guangzhou by Wang Dun and failed to participate in the Jing and Yang incident.Zuyue was in Yuzhou, following Zuti's army and stationed in Shouchun. This army has always refused to obey Wang Dun. "Shi Shuo Xin Yu·Bold Shuang": "General Wang wanted to punish all the trees and set them up. He sent him to join the army and sued the court, satirizing the time. Qing Yu Ah Hei (Original note: Dun Xiaozi) dare not be inferior, and urges him to go. I will order three thousand soldiers to go.' The king heard it and stopped. The note said: "Old cloud 'Wang Dun is very afraid of the ancestors'. Or the cloud king has different ambitions, the ancestor said: 'I am here, how dare you!' Wen Naizhi." But the ancestors and the court are not compatible, use It is impossible for the ancestors to make an appointment with the division of Yuzhou to resist Wang Dun.

Except for these powerful vassals, the Eastern Jin army was weak and had no food. "Book of Jin" Volume 26 "Shihuo Zhi": "Emperor Yuan was the king of Jin (the first year of Jianwu, 317 years), and he supervised agricultural work. He ordered the two thousand stone officials to take the number of grains as the most. It is not the guard If you want to be appointed, everyone should go to the farm, so that the army can work on their own tenants, that is to say, it is regarded as a granary." "Book of Jin" Volume 78 "Dingtan Biography": "Today's soldiers or private servants, but the camp is not full." These are all Materials from before the Wang Dun Rebellion. "Book of Jin" Volume 67 "Wen Qiao Biography" Wen Qiaoshang's seven important military and state affairs, "discuss and play Donna".Its third article reads: "The generals and the governor's office in other prefectures and counties are not the army facing the enemy, and the fields are guarded. First, the five schools were sent out of the fields. Today, the soldiers in the five schools of the Fourth Army and the guards are outside the command. The army can be dispatched by two armies and stationed in key places. There are fertile fields up and down the river, and it will be easy to open up wasteland after a year." "Book of Jin" Volume 70 "Liu Chao Biography", Chaojin is the captain of Shesheng, " At that time, there were no soldiers in the military academy." Chao took him as the "Yi Sui" when he was the prefect of Yixing as the imperial guard. "Book of Jin" Volume 88 "Biography of Kong Tan", the court envoy Wu Xing Nei Shi Kong Tan recruited refugees from the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River to serve as an army.These are the later materials of the Wang Dun Rebellion.Before and after the chaos in Wangdun, the imperial army had a hard time. Since this was the case, the situation should be the same during the chaos in Wangdun.It seems that the lack of soldiers is a great difficulty faced by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there is only one way to solve it, which is to recruit refugees as much as possible.

The refugees came from the south in different situations. Some were scattered and some were led by rich clans;After Sima Rui's south crossing, the refugees once sporadically poured into Soochow, and there were quite a few of them. "Shi Huo Zhi" contains Ying Zhan Biao and said: "The people in the middle went to Soochow, and Soochow Jinjian (the case refers to the famine in Sanwu in the second year of Taixing, and the dead were very gangsters), all of which have been returned. Jiangxi Liangtian, Kuang It has been a long time since it was abandoned, and it has been a long time since it was cultivated by fire and water. It is easy to make a difference. It is better to simplify the exiles, revive the agricultural officials, and reward the meritorious service, all of which are like Wei's story..." Ying Zhan's so-called refugees returned to Jiangxi, it should be said boldly , Among them, those who have not yet returned, most of them become children with the gentry's surname.Later, the Eastern Jin Dynasty promulgated the system of granting guests and conscripting refugees as children and soldiers, mainly targeting these refugees who stayed in the Jiangnan counties in Yangzhou.

In the upper reaches of Yangzhou, in the area of ​​Yuzhou, refugees also traveled southward in a continuous stream, but were intercepted by the Eastern Jin government in Jiangbei. "Book of Jin" Volume 59 "Biography of Wang Liang of Runan" attached "Biography of King Xiyang": Sima Chai "crossed the river in the south, the Yuan Emperor inherited the system, and even worshiped the general of the Fujun, opened the mansion, gave thousands of soldiers and hundreds of horses, and ordered him to flow with Nandun King Zongzong The people of Zhongzhou are real. Jiangxi is desolate, and it will be returned." Sima Mei "indulged the soldiers to rob the banknotes, and the commander was exempted from the officials, and the imperial edict did not ask." The case of Xiyang Wang Yi's soldiers robbed banknotes.See also "Book of Jin" Volume 66 "Tao Kan Biography".Tao Kan was the prefect of Wuchang during the Yongjia period. "At that time, there was a famine in the world, and there were many mountains and barbarians who broke the river and plundered. Kan ordered the generals to pretend to be merchant ships to lure them. The robbery came, and several people were born. They were around Xiyang Wang Yi. Kan immediately sent The soldiers forced Yi, and ordered them to go out to the thieves..., tied up and sent twenty people under the tent, and beheaded them. The water and land will be cleared, and the exiles will return to Yinglu." Xiyang Wang Yi left and right pretended to be barbarians and traveled for robbery, and immediately In order to control the refugees, the current affairs of Zhongzhou are real.After the return of the United States to Taiwan, the road for the refugees to go south to Jiang and Jing began to be smooth. "Book of Jin" Volume 81 "Biography of Liu Yin": "From Jiangling to Jiankang for more than three thousand miles, tens of thousands of people flowed, and they were distributed in Jiangzhou."

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, near the county of Yangzhou, it was very difficult for farmers to prosper, so recruiting refugees to serve as soldiers became imperative.Refugees who are still on the way to become disciples have no livelihood and no record to record. Generally speaking, it is difficult to become the object of expropriation.For them, there must first be a process of making them registered.The ones that can be confiscated at the moment are only limited to the refugees who have taken refuge in the common surname and settled down to make a living.Therefore, some decrees to deal with refugees appeared during the reign of Emperor Jin and Yuan.

According to "Sui Shu" volume 24 "Shi Huo Zhi", at the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "most of the people in the capital were tenants, tenants, diners, clothing and food customers of the princes and nobles, and there were no school duties", so there were customers. emergence of the system.According to the "Southern Qi Book" Volume 14 "Zhou County Chronicles" (Part 1) Nanyanzhou article, during the reign of Emperor Jin and Yuan, "the people were in trouble and moved to this place. Most of the refugees took care of their surnames as guests. In the fourth year of Taixing (321) of Emperor Yuan The refugee lost his nationality, so that the name of the article has a boss, and it is a system for giving guests. However, Jiangbei is desolate and cannot be verified.” Taixing’s system of giving guests for four years was limited to the refugees who lost their citizenship, and the area was only below the capital and the counties in the south of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou .The system stipulates that all refugees have a boss in their name, and that all guests who are guests should register their family registration, that is, be attached to the household of the host. The purpose is to make the refugees famous and to enable the state to control these refugees to a certain extent. "Book of Jin" Volume 91 "The Biography of the Scholars Xu Miao", Xu Chengzhi and Zang Kun of Dongguan led their children and more than a thousand families of scholars and commoners in their hometown to cross the river south, and their family was in Jingkou, and they were born in Jingkou.From a rational point of view, the exiles led by the Xu family and the Zang family lived in Jingkou. In terms of social status, there were both scholars and concubines; in terms of economic status, there should be landlords, children, and self-cultivating farmers.However, it is difficult to further clarify this distinction, estimate the respective proportions, and explore the influence of the guest-giving system on these people. The guest system itself was not directly conscripted into soldiers by the Eastern Jin Dynasty.However, since the refugees were registered, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a basis for expropriating them, so there was an edict issued in the same year "to save the good people from Zhongzhou from suffering as children in Yangzhou counties, so as to prepare for conscription", see "Book of Jin" Volume six "Yuan Di Ji".This was issued in the form of an edict to exempt refugees who were private children, and its direct purpose was to strengthen the army to deal with Wang Dun. "Fat Tong", that is, "Book of Jin" Volume Nine Eight "Wang Dun Biography" Yongchang first year (322 years) Wang Dun asked Liu Kuishu to punish the so-called "send a good man to be a slave, for the benefit of oneself", the good man's slave does not mean The slave of a good man refers to a refugee who was originally a good man and is now reduced to a slave; if he becomes a soldier, he is immediately a "soldier", and his status is the same as that of a guest. "Fat guest" should also be regarded as "military strategist", for example, "take generals, officials and guests to transfer" in Volume 69 of "Book of Jin" "Biography of Diao Xie" and "Biography of Sima Yuanxian" in Volume 64 of "Book of Jin" issued "freedom from slaves" Those who are guests" are soldiers.In the same year, Emperor Jin and Yuan implemented the system of giving guests and sending children as soldiers, both of which were aimed at the refugees and against Wang Dun.Therefore, 10,000 of those confiscated were allocated to Liu Kui in the town of Huaiyin, and 10,000 in the town of Dai Yuan in Hefei. They were called Beihu, but the actual purpose was clear at a glance.At the same time, the inspection of the refugees was also to limit the privileges of the northern and southern clans to occupy the refugees, which became an excuse for Wang Dun's army and an important reason why the northern and southern clans supported Wang Dun's army. Turning refugees into children and turning them into soldiers is regarded as a bad policy that can only be done once and never again.Forced soldiers are unwilling to be driven, and have no combat effectiveness.Therefore, when Wang Dun went south for the first time, Liu Wei and Dai Yuan's soldiers also rescued the capital, and they were defeated in the first battle.Even so, when the Eastern Jin Dynasty faced the threat of Wang Dun's second revolt, the only power that the Eastern Jin Dynasty could use to deal with Wang Dun was the refugees.However, the imperial court must no longer adopt the old method of conscripting refugees as children from the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, but use the refugee groups gathered in the Jiangbei and Huai regions, and do not destroy the original leadership relationship among the refugee groups.This is the background of Xi Jian conspiring with Emperor Ming to use the power of the refugees to fight against Wang Dun in the second year of Taining (324).Xi Jian himself was one of the vagrant marshals. He knew that the vagrant marshals might be used by the imperial court, so it was more appropriate for him to make relevant suggestions to Emperor Ming. Most of the refugee marshals stationed between the Jianghuai and the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a history of resisting Hu Jie in the north.The armed forces under their command have been with them for a long time, and they are more or less in the nature of private soldiers.The Eastern Jin court had to pay attention to them, but did not dare to use them boldly.They were the only force available in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but they were also forces that the imperial court could not fully trust.Generally speaking, the Eastern Jin Dynasty assigned the titles of eunuchs, governors, and generals to the vagrant commanders according to their original status and strength, and divided them into roughly territories, keeping them outside the Yangtze River and denying them from crossing the Yangtze River.For the refugee marshals who had arrived or were about to arrive in the Yangtze River, the Eastern Jin Dynasty often urged them to return north for military reasons.Zu Ti led the crowd to the south and traveled to Sikou. Sima Rui, the king of Langya, "reversely used" him as the governor of Xuzhou.Later, Zu Ti led his troops across the river and lived in Jingkou, but he was ordered to lead his troops back north in the name of the governor of Yuzhou, and was active in the Huaibei area.Su Jun led his troops across the sea from Qingzhou to the Yangtze River and arrived in Guangling. Soon he was ordered to return to Pengcheng to fight in the north.Cai Bao took refuge in Qinghe prefect and went south, while Sima Rui thought Linhuai prefect and governor of Xuzhou.Cai Bao's biography does not claim to lead the crowd, but he was Xuzhou Sima when Zu Ti was Xuzhou governor, and he has been fighting Xu Kan and Shihu between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River.Yu Yi's nephew, Chu Yucong's elder brother Chu Cong, was once the commander of the refugees, and led the people of the city to protect themselves in Yuzhou boundary. Later, Shanma went to Xuchang to join Xunfan and Xunzu in Xingtai, and then went to Jiangdong.Although Chu Chong has no trilogy or many trilogy, Emperor Yuan still came out of the river, and it is the internal history of Huainan.Shao Xu, who resisted Shile in the north and south of the Yellow River, once listed his names and persuaded him to enter the table. His son-in-law Liu Yajian sent envoys to be appointed by the Yuan Emperor, but Liu Xia's army was only active in the Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Sikou areas, and the southernmost point was Linhuai. Generally speaking, the refugee marshals who came from the south but stopped between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River were either not from high families, or they had family backgrounds but did not have the purpose of being a celebrity, so they were incompatible with the Eastern Jin regime and the gentry of the current dynasty.Zu Ti came from the old surname of Beizhou, but according to his biography, Ti himself was "a chivalrous man" and "proud". He is a corrupt person." Cai Bao came from Chenliu's high school, and his biography says that Leopard is "vigorous and dry", and his quality is not like that of a scholar.Su Jun's biography says that he "was originally based on a single family, and when he gathered a crowd to disturb the crowd", his family status and character were not allowed to enter the ranks of scholars.Generals Liu Xia and Guo Mo also came from humble beginnings and are accustomed to marching.Only Xi Jian, whose family background conditions were initially prepared, and his temperament was outstanding, was enough to enter and exit the politics of the family, so he was able to conquer Taicheng with the post of minister.However, Xi Jian's subordinates could only be stationed in Hefei, and he himself lived in Jiangbei many times when he left the town, which is roughly the same as the above-mentioned people. Nominally attached to the Jin Dynasty, the refugee commander had been among various political forces in the north for a long time, and he had to monitor the situation at any time in order to survive.After they came to the south, they were aloof from the Eastern Jin regime and retained considerable political independence.He even neglected his orders and became domineering.They dominate one side, each doing its own thing, without kingly law or military discipline, and some have to rely on looting houses and intercepting travel to raise supplies, even Zuti's troops are like this. "Book of Jin" Volume 62 "Biography of Zu Ti": Zu Ti "The guests and righteous disciples are all violent warriors", stealing and attacking plagiarism, and Zu Ti shared the stolen goods. "Shi Shuo Xin Yu Ren Dan": "When the ancestral car rode across the river, the public and private were frugal, and there was no fun to wear. The king and Yu went to the ancestors, and suddenly saw the overlapping of fur robes and the abundance of precious ornaments. The public was surprised. The ancestor said: "Suddenly Nantang (the case is on the south bank of the Qinhuai River) came out last night." At Shiheng, the ancestors used the athletes to plunder and steal, and the people involved did not ask." Zuti's behavior is similar to that of the northern Wuzhu Guo Mo's "copied the trip back to the east by fishing boat" ("Book of Jin" Volume 63 "Guo Mo Biography"), Wei Jun "plundered grain and wheat" (the same book and volume "Wei Jun Biography") are exactly the same.Noble as Wang Mei of Xiyang, when he led the refugees in Jiangxi, he also indulged his subordinates in "breaking the river and looting", just like other refugees. As for Xi Jian himself, it is unavoidable to kill people and steal goods. "Zhen Gao" Volume 8 "Zhen Ming Shu No. 4": "Xi Hui (the case is Xi Jian Zimin, styled Fang Hui) father killed hundreds of people innocently, and took their treasures, which was a serious test. Resentment word) Zhu Heng sued Tiancao, and he has already filed a lawsuit,... ". "Realist Taiyuan replied to Xu Changshi. Original note: Xi Hui's father's lesson, Qing Jian has forgotten (aspirations) behaviors, so it should not be killed and looted. Or it was caused by fighting when we first crossed the river, otherwise it was in Liangfu (? ) Killing thieves is indiscriminate." Volume 11 and 12 of "Zhen Gao" refer to Xi Jian as a ghost official, and volume 28 of "Tai Ping Guang Ji" also mentions that Xi Jian is a god.Xi Jian is a Taoist, so there is no evidence in this biography, but it is true that Xi Yin is a Taoist.In any case, "Zhengao" recorded Xijian's killing and extortion of goods and its explanation, and should have Jin and Song historical materials or word of mouth as a reference, and it is not a lie. The exiles who came from the south to join the Jin Dynasty had nothing to rely on in the clan politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Generally speaking, one was trying to gain a firm foothold and preserve their power, and the other was to make contributions in order to develop.Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty's attitude towards them varies depending on their degree of allegiance, they are generally strictly guarded against.Zu Ti was committed to the Northern Expedition, and he never looked back. He showed no signs of disobedience to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was not tolerated by the Jin Dynasty either.At that time, Sima Rui, king of Langya, followed by his son Sima Shao (later Emperor Jin Ming), and Sima Biao successively towned Guangling and restricted the passage to the south.Wang Dao took his younger brother Wang Shu as Sima's Sima, which was tantamount to arranging a joint force of king and horse in Guangling.Sima Xuan died, and Wang Shusui took over Guangling. When Wang Shu was in Guangling, he was very strict in controlling the refugees and not sending them to the south. "Book of Jin" Volume 81 "Biography of Cai Bao", the leopard retreated to defend Xiapi, Xu Kan attacked its baggage, "Since the leopard is defeated, it will be apologetic, and Bei Zhonglang will stop Wang Shuzhi.... When the Yuan emperor heard that the leopard retreated, he sent Receive it. The envoy arrives, and Wang Shuye encircles the leopard with his soldiers... Take the leopard and send it to Jiankang to behead it." Cai Bao was defeated in battle, and his crime is not worthy of death. Cai Bao's death is suspected to be caused by his refugee commander It is related to his identity and the plot of his attempt to come to the south.The refugee commander had more or less military exploits in the north, and played a role in preventing Shi Le from going south and protecting the Jiangzuo regime.Because of this, the Eastern Jin court was even more wary of them, lest they have the heart to rely on their achievements.This is a manifestation of the Eastern Jin regime being very weak and only focusing on the interests of the sect. The refugee commanders rarely had the opportunity to assist the capital to prepare for the guards, and they were suspicious of each other with the Eastern Jin regime, so they were unwilling to leave their subordinates and groups and cross the river rashly, thinking that the court was a matter of urgency.What they are most worried about is being seized by the court.When Zu Ti crossed the river, his elder brother Na and younger brother Yue both lived in the official Jiankang. Ti himself was conscripted to serve as the military counselor and sacrificial wine for the king of Langya, but Ti still lived in Jingkou and never left his tribe.Wang Dun invaded the capital for the first time. Emperor Yuan once summoned Su Jun, the refugee commander who lived in Lanling, to attack Wang Dun.This should be an event in the spring of the first year of Yongchang (322). At that time, Xi Jian had not yet come to the south, and the relationship between the refugee Shuai and the Eastern Jin court had not yet been established. Xi Jian conspired with Emperor Ming to attack Wang Dun in August of the first year of Taining (323).In July of the following year, Wang Dun sent Wang Han and Qian Feng's troops to Jiankang. On the 15th day, Su Jun, Liu Xia and other vagrant commanders rushed to Jiankang, which reversed the situation and the chaos was settled.From Su Jun receiving aid and "returning late but not advancing", to Su Jun and others rushing to Wei Jiankang, the change is so great, I think there must be Xi Jian (and possibly Huan Yi) who will be in the middle of the court and the refugees. role played by the room.But the matter is unknown, and today we can only dig into it in scattered historical materials to get a glimpse of its outline. Regarding the whole story of Liu Xia and Su Jun's army entering the aid, the scattered deeds in the biography of "Book of Jin" are as follows: "Xi Jian Biography": In the first year of Taining, Xi Jian returned to Taiwan from Hefei, "so he conspired with the emperor to destroy Dun".As soon as the text was circulated, it narrated that Wang Han and Qian Feng attacked and forced the capital, and Xi Jiangu resigned from the military title of General Wei, but did not talk about calling Su Jun and Liu Xia. "Liu Ya Biography": Ya moved to Tunsikou at the beginning of Taining.Wang Hanfan, Xia and Su Jun went to the capital together, without saying that there was an edict to see them. "Su Jun Biography": Wang Dun rebelled, and Xi Jian suggested that Zhao Jun and Liu Xia came to aid. "Wang Dun Biography": Wang Dao from Jiankang left Wang Hanshu and said: "Liu Xia, Tao Zhan, Su Jun, etc. were deeply worried and did not agree on the same speech when they were able to levy the North....It is the order of the Holy Lord to send Hess, with the Such as Xizhi." Xizhi refers to the imperial edict of the Ming emperor against Wang Dun recorded in the same biography, in which Liu Xia and Su Jun are mentioned in the dispatching of soldiers, but the whole article is not as good as Xijian.It seems that "not seeking the same speech" is not really "not seeking". It is just that Wang Sui and Wang Dao didn't know or pretended not to know that Xi Jian was conspiring during it, so there is this saying. "Ming Emperor Ji": In June of the second year of Taining, Ding Mao set up a military account widely, with Wang Dao as the governor, Wen Qiao, Bian Dun, Ying Zhan, Xi Jian, Yu Liang, Bian Hu, etc. each had military duties. Xi Jian is the general of Xingwei and the governor of the army.Wang Sui, the governor of Xuzhou, Zuyue, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Xia, the governor of Yanzhou, Su Jun, the prefect of Linhuai, and Tao Zhan, the prefect of Guangling, were ordered to return to the capital. "Ming Emperor Ji" clearly explained the military deployment, but it just lacked the finishing touch. It did not point out that the planning was mainly from Xi Jian, and that Xi Jian himself insisted on resigning from the military title. It is "Tongjian" that records nearly all of this. "Tongjian" records the events of Dingmao in June of the second year of Taining. He set up a military account widely and took Xi Jian as the general of the guard, and the governor followed the military. According to "Ming Emperor Ji"; Dujian Biography: Xi Jian asked for an imperial edict to recruit Su Jun and Liu Ya, according to "Su Jun Biography"; In addition to Liu and Liu, Wang Sui, Tao Zhan and others were also ordered to serve as a foil, according to "Ming Emperor Ji". The narration of "Tongjian" is accurate and reliable, but it does not connect the matter of Dujian's invitation to levy Liu Xia and Su Jun, and the matter of Xijian and Ming Emperor's plot to destroy Wang Dun.In my opinion, the former matter is the specific content of the latter matter, because the first problem in the plot to destroy Wang Dun is to find out what force can be used.Xi Jian asked Emperor Ming to enlist the commander of the refugees, and he was the first to make the first move, so he was ordered by the general Wei to supervise the military in the battle of destroying Wangdun; Dao, Yu Liang, Wen Qiao, and Bian Hu rashly took up the post of General Wei. With the status of a refugee commander, Xi Jian planned a strategy for Emperor Jin and Ming to use the refugee commander to destroy Wang Dun, and achieved great success.Draining civilian commanders into Kyoto would be dangerous to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so it was naturally taboo by the current dynasty.It would have been impossible to make such an important plan if it weren't for someone like Du Jian who had a certain family background and social status, had no connection with Wang Dun's forces, and held allegiance.Xi Jian did not cross the river early, and had no deep relationship with Wang and Ma, but because of this contribution, he was able to join the politics of Jiangzuo clan, and the Xi family of Gaoping was able to gradually rise to the top class of overseas Chinese surnames thereafter. Although the use of vagrant commanders to solve major problems in the government has achieved great results, it has left some unfavorable influence on the court after all.Su Jun got the post of internal history in Liyang and controlled the upper reaches of Jiankang.He refused Yu Liang's order of internal conquest, saying: "If you ask for a thief to serve outside, you will obey orders from far and near. As for internal assistants, it is really unbearable." To display the eagle and the dog." Su Jun is from Qingzhou, most of his subordinates are from Qingzhou, and the invitation from Huangjun shows that he is determined not to leave his subordinates and join the auxiliary court.He said to the Taiwanese envoy: "The country in the past is in danger (the case refers to Wang Dun's rebellion), and it is up to me. The cunning rabbit is dead, and the hound should be cooked by itself, but death should be reported to the conspirators (the case refers to Yu Liang.) ) ear." So there was a rebellion by Su Jun and Zu Yue.As for Liu Xia, when he was chasing Wang Han, he "rather let go of soldiers and captives" and was unrestrained.Liu Xiaxuan died, and the imperial court gave Guo Mo, who ran south alone, with his trilogy. Liu Xia's relatives were old and unhappy with his family, so they rebelled against Jin.After Guo Mo led Liu Xia's trilogy, he served in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, helped put down the Su Jun rebellion, and was conscripted as a general of the right army.However, Guo Mo is also a refugee handsome in the theory of family background and temperament. If there is no more special reason, it will be difficult for him to settle down in the Eastern Jin Dynasty's aristocratic politics. "Book of Jin" Volume 63 "Guo Mo's Biography" Guo Mo said Liu Yin said: "I can control the barbarian but it is useless. The right army is in charge of prohibiting soldiers. If the battlefield is in danger, they will be sent out to fight, and they will be rationed. The generals have no prime. If you don't have any trust, if you face the enemy like this, you will rarely be invincible." Guo Mo was also captured and beheaded by Tao Kan after Ping Su Jun and Zu Yue.As a result, several important refugee commanders who once entered the political field of the Eastern Jin Dynasty planned by Xi Jian were wiped out. Su Jun's personality and deeds seem to have left some influence among the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. "The History of the Six Dynasties" "Jiangdi Temple" said that "Su Jun's difficulty was helped by Zhongshan God and Jiang Hou, and he said: 'Su Jun is rebellious, and we should punish him together.' The consequences are severe." But Su Jun After Jun's death, the people of Jiankang erected a statue of him and called him the God of Suhou.The fifth volume of "Sou Shen Ji", volume 145 of "Beitang Shuchao" and volume 936 of "Taiping Yulan" quoted in "Continued Sou Shen Ji" all have Su Hou's divine deeds. Volume 55 of "Tong Dian" "The Rise and Abolishment of the Depraved Temples" says that there is no one temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why would you please eliminate the obscene temples during the ascension of Emperor Mu?In the second year of the Yongchu period of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, the prostitution temples were generally banned, and the God of Suhou should be in the ban; Emperor Xiaowu repaired the forbidden temple at the beginning of Xiaojian, and added Suhou as the general of the hussars.According to "Song Shu" Volume 99 "Yuan Ji Shao Biography", Liu Shao was besieged in Jiankang after he killed his father and became self-reliant, and once worshiped the statue of Su Jun in the palace.The history of the Southern Dynasties contains a lot of things about Suhou Shrine, and its location is in the upper reaches of Jiankang (such as "Zhang Chong's Biography" in Volume 32 of "Southern History") and downstream (such as "Cui Zusi Biography" in Volume 28 of "Book of Southern Qi").Su Jun was enshrined in a statue under the chariot of the emperor of Jin because he was a traitor of the Jin Dynasty. The reason is difficult to understand.Or, Su Jun came in as a refugee commander, galloped under the city of Jiankang, defeated the Qianfeng soldiers from Nantang, and laid the foundation for the victory of destroying Wangdun.Aunt Zhi here for reference.
