The main part of Chinese history, before the Han Dynasty, was in the Yellow River Basin.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the development of the Northwest declined, and the development of the Southeast flourished.Cao Cao wiped out all the heroes in the north one by one, leaving only Wu and Shu in the Yangtze River Basin, which proves the weakness of North China and the invincibility of the emerging forces in South China. The Eastern Jin Dynasty crossed the South, and the Yangtze River Basin officially represented traditional China.
The eleventh emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, one hundred and four years.

During this 104 years, the five Hu Yun disturbances in the north have never been settled, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty often has the opportunity to restore the Central Plains.However, the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have a unified will to take the Central Plains from the north.The Eastern Jin Dynasty captured Luoyang four times. 1. In the seventh year of Emperor Mu Yonghe, the Shi family was in chaos, and Luoyang was conquered by the Jin Dynasty. Yin Hao's northern expedition was in vain. 2. In the twelfth year of Emperor Mu Yonghe, Huanwen conquered Yaoxiang in the north, defeated him, and regained Luoyang.

3. In the ninth year of Xiaowu Taiyuan, the Fu family was in chaos, and there was Luoyang again in Jin Dynasty. 4. In the twelfth year of Emperor An Yixi, Liu Yu made a northern expedition and took it again. Most of the nobles are clean, and they are not the masters of peace, but they are seeking to resist orders.Poor scholars with few families, or close relatives of the royal family, start to work hard and have long-term ambitions.Although the lord of Jin has the respect of the south, he has no real control, so the two states of "Northern Expedition" and "Internal Change" are repeated.

The establishment of the country in the Western Jin Dynasty relied on the power of aristocrats. People at the time said: "Jia, Pei, and Wang are chaotic disciplines; Pei, Wang, and Jia are helping the world." It refers to Jia Chong, Wang Shen, and Pei Xiuyan; they are all aristocratic families.The Sima family was also from the old family, so they were able to collude with the old forces at that time.Cao Shuang, He Yan, and Xia Houxuan all failed to make innovations; Sima's usurpation succeeded. When crossing the south in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the brothers Wang Dun and Wang Dao were most relied on, so it is said: "The king and the horse share the world."

Wang Dun commanded the troops outside, and Wang Dao was in power inside, and he was honored as "Zhongfu".Emperor Yuan ascended the honorary title, accompanied by hundreds of officials, and ordered the king to be promoted to the throne, and he resigned firmly.Emperor Cheng Youchong, every time he saw the guide, he worshiped and tried to write an edict with the guide, so he said "fear". In the name of the Jin family, the old families in the north traveled to the south in batches, each occupying land and famous fields, closing the mountains and blocking the marshes, and becoming the new masters of the south.

When Yuan Emperor crossed the river, he called Gu Rong and said: "I am always ashamed to send people to the country." Until the Southern Qi Dynasty Qiu Lingju Shangyun said: "I should go back to the east to dig Gu Rong's tomb. There are thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River. , death is more than guilty." At that time, the clans supported the Jin family, just like Cao Cao greeted the emperor of the Han Dynasty, took the emperor to the princes, and used the wealth of the south to support the family status of the north. When all the celebrities first arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the situation was uncertain, and they couldn't help crying for each other in Xinting.As for the family's financial security, "here is happy, don't think about Shu", and there is no meaning of recovery.Wang Dao led Qun Lun, who was called "Jiangzuo Yiwu" at the time, because he was said to be able to stabilize the new state, and he was not allowed to restore his homeland.

If the Jin Dynasty wants to reunite the national power and manage the Northern Expedition, it will inevitably conflict with the requirements and hopes of the family. The families only support the central government to protect their families, and they are not willing to sacrifice their family status to obey the central government. After Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, he personally used Liu Kui and Xi Xie to uphold the superior and restrain the inferior.Wang Dun raised his troops introverted, Wang Dao was suspected of being silent, Tao Kan and Yu Liang both wanted to raise troops to abolish Dao but failed.Cai Mo, Sun Chuo, and Wang Xizhi are all contemporary celebrities. Cai Mo refuted Yu Liang's northern strategy, and Zhu Liang extended Wang's guidance.Chuo and Xizhi also reverted to recovery with clear discussions.

A family has its own strengths and status, and does not need to make achievements, so the children of the aristocratic family should take the lead and talk about it. The main point of the spirit of talking about it is to indulge one's passion and will, not to be restrained by foreign things. In Wang Tanzhi's book, Shamen must not be regarded as high-ranking scholars, he said: "A high-ranking scholar must lie in the smoothness of the heart. Although the Shamen are not vulgar, they are more restrained in teaching, which is not the same as being self-satisfied." If you don't care about things and affairs of the world, you will become high-spirited.

Wang Huizhi made Huan Chong cavalry to join the army. Huan asked, "Where is your office?" Answer: "I don't know what office. When I saw a horse coming, it seemed to be Ma Cao." Huan asked again: "How many horses does the official have?" Said: "No Ask horses, how do you know the number?" Then asked: "How many horses died?" Answer: "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" Huan said: "You have been in the mansion for a long time, and you are more likely to take care of it." At the beginning, I didn't answer, so I went straight Look high and use your hands to lean on your cheeks.Yun: "When the Western Mountain Dynasty comes, it will bring refreshment." ("Shi Shuo Xin Yu Jian Ao" Southern Song Dynasty Liu Yiqing)

Those who have ambitions and strategies are not close relatives of the Jin family, that is, sparse scholars of the Han nationality, and often attract opposition from the Qingtan faction. Zhu Yu is in charge of politics, and he wants to let the law rule things out, but his talents are so small that he can't settle down on his own.Yu Yibao's brother Bingshu said: "Jiangdong politics is powerful by dancing, thinking that the people are evil, and there are ways to do it from time to time, and they are often used poorly. This is the reason for the fact." Its mood can be imagined.

Not only conflicts of interest, but also divergent interests. Huan Wen was about to hunt in the snow, and Liu Tin asked, "The old thief is in a hurry, what do you want to do?" Huan said, "If I don't do this, how can the seniors sit and talk?" Therefore, Huan Wen wanted to make meritorious deeds, but the imperial court led Yin Hao to fight against him. Yu Yi has already said that Yin Hao's generation can only stay in a high cabinet, and Xu Huanwen has made a fortune in Ningji.The courtiers voted with the smell of tangerines, so Yin Hao was cited.Hao's father, Yin Hongqiao, was entrusted with sending books and threw them all into the river; he was corrupt and disabled by the government.His uncle Rong and Hao are fond of the old and easy, and they are mysterious.Wen Pingsheng likes to imitate Liu Kun himself, but hates that he looks like Wang Dun. It can be seen from the accumulation of his past. Huan Wen's master moved to Luoyang, the capital, and he was making a quick comment on the Qingliu. Huan Shu: "Please, since the chaos in Yongjia, those who spread the flow of the river, all move northward to realize Henan." If this is the case, the Jiangnan gate will be exhausted.Sun Chuo objected.Chuo and Wang Xi's generation all lived in Kuaiji, enjoying the landscape.Huan Wen was very sympathetic, saying: "Why don't you find the emperor and give him the first letter, but Jiang knows the state affairs of other people?" At that time, it was discussed that Wen's brother Yun was the governor of Yuzhou. It is not appropriate to be in the Western Fan Dynasty and have military power." Instead, Xie Wan was used.Wan Ao's birthday did not try to caress the crowd, but he lost Xu, Ying, Qiao and Pei in his death, and Luoyang was left alone. But when the teacher is defeated, the talker is happy. When Sun Sheng talked with Yin Hao, he frowned and fell into the meal; he was also a famous person with a voice.In Jin Yangqiu, Huan Wen said to his son, "Fangtou is a failure, how can it be as the gentleman said?" His son was afraid of disaster, so he changed it privately.Sheng Nai sent a copy to Murong Jun.First, Wen Fa Yan, Yan Chen Shen Yun predicted: "The courtiers of the Jin Dynasty will definitely resist in order to defeat them." History does not know the reality of obedience.But looking at Sun Shengyang and Qiu, Wen Bai was deeply pleased and happy by the Jin officials.Sheng was the prefect of Changsha, and he was full of stolen goods.Too many celebrities take care of their families, and they can be famous for their talk and debate, that is, they don't need to deal with the world. The achievements of the outside world are not successful, but turned inward. After Wen was defeated by Fangtou, Xi Chao, his mastermind, persuaded him to abolish Li.Said: "There is no military and Xuan Zhixun outside, and there is no Yi and Huo's actions inside. How can it be easy to see and hear, and to suppress similarities and differences?" Moreover, the Jin family has the world, and its history is not bright, so neither the family nor the famous people can be loyal. Director Wang had a taste of the business affairs of King Xuan of Jin Dynasty and the noble township of King Wen in front of Emperor Ming. When the Emperor heard about it, he covered his face and put him on the bed, saying: "If it is as the public says, Zuo'an will grow up?" But the aristocratic family only seeks to protect itself. Sun Shenggao Yuliang: "Would Dao Wang be willing to do things for ordinary people if he has a heart outside the world?" This can represent the attitude of the family. Heroes and famous people, who are depressed, are actually usurpers and murderers. Huan Wen often said: "If you do this silence, you will be laughed at by Wen and Jing." This is the opinion of people since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.It's a big idiot to take what is desirable but not to take it.Environmental sanitation itself also has the morale of scholarly fame, so it is said: "It can't be beautiful to future generations, and it can't be bad for a long time?"If it was passed on as Huanxuan, and then as Liu Yu, then Jin Zuo would not be guaranteed. Until Huan Xuan and Liu Yu, while usurping the throne, they still suppressed the rich. The Southern History Song Wuben Ji said: "Since the Jin Dynasty was revived, the imperial court was slack, and the rich and powerful families merged, and the common people could not protect their property. Huan Xuan wanted to change it, but he couldn't do it. The emperor was a assistant, and he showed the rules, and he was powerful and awe-inspiring. "Press again: "in the ninth year of Xixi in Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu asked Huan Wen, Geng and Xu to break the soil. It can be seen that Huan Wen, Huan Xuan and Liu Yu are actually taking the same route. It's not as good as Liu Yi's return." Gai Yu is a rough man, not a famous person.During Yuzhi's Northern Expedition, none of the ministers in the court could serve as Yu's heart.That's why Yu couldn't calmly occupy Chang'an to manage the north. Essentially, half of the south of the Yangtze River is still going on with a centrifugal tendency.Although the famous clans have suffered from the hardships of being displaced from the Central Plains, they have not yet reached the point of repenting and awakening.
