The rebellion of the Five Hus has already been waiting, and there is another rebellion of eight kings (eight kings, namely Wang Liang of Runan, Wang Wei of Chu, Wang Lun of Zhao, Wang Jiong of Qi, Wang Yi of Changsha, Wang Ying of Chengdu, and King Hejian) Yong, Wang Yue of the East China Sea), as its fuse.The feudal relatives thought that the dream of Ping Fan had not yet awakened at this time.Let's try this: Emperor Wu of Wei issued an order in December Jihai, the fifteenth year of Jian'an, saying that in the past, the imperial court favored my sons, but I refused to accept them. I am afraid that there are many people who want to murder me, and they want to use this for self-protection, which shows the thinking of people at this time.Although Wei also had a system of enfeoffment, but when Emperor Wen was not the son of Wei, he once fought with his brothers, so he was very suspicious of the clan kings. kill.In view of this, the Jin people granted the same surname after they won the country. The system is quite noble, and all countries have guards.Emperor Wu of Jin was the son of Emperor Wen. After Emperor Jing, he was naturally unwilling to back down.During Emperor Wu's time, King You of Qi had the intention of coveting the throne, and it seemed that there were people attached to him by the party.However, it failed, and Emperor Hui died.Emperor Hui was very stupid. At the beginning, the queen mother's father Yang Jun was in power, and the queen Jia and Chu Wangwei conspired to kill him, and used Runan Wang Liang to kill him again, and then killed the Chu king. Empress Dowager Yang.The prince was not born to the queen, so he was also abolished and killed later.When Zhao Wanglun was the chief guard, because of dissatisfaction with the people, he killed the empress, so he abolished Emperor Hui and stood on his own.At that time, Xuchang was in the town of Wang Jiong of Qi Dynasty, Ye was in the town of Wangying in Chengdu (now Linzhang County, Henan Province), and Guanzhong was in the town of Wang Yong in Hejian. Company soldiers attacked and killed Lun.Emperor Hui was restored, and King Qi entered the dictatorship of Luo.Wang Yong of Hejian conspired with Wang Yi of Changsha to attack and kill him, and he conspired with Wang Ying of Chengdu to attack and kill Yi.The king of the East China Sea Yue Heyou and the soldiers of the two states defeated the two kings of Hejian and Chengdu, and then killed Emperor Hui and established Emperor Huai.These disturbances occurred during the sixteen years from 291 to 306 AD.

The Xiongnu Shanyu lost his throne at the end of the Later Han Dynasty and settled in China.After Shan Yu's death, China divided his tribe into five, each with a chief.Among them, the left side is the strongest. China detained its chieftain in Ye to control it, and he has not released it until the early Jin Dynasty.After the soldiers of the king of the East China Sea rose up, Liu Yuan said that the king of Chengdu would go back and join the five tribes to help him, so the king of Chengdu released him.When Liu Yuan came to Bingzhou, he established himself as the former Zhao of the Sixteen Kingdoms.At this time, in the Central Plains, thieves are flocking, and Liu Yuan can achieve something if he is able to recruit and manage.However, Liu Yuan was a man with little talent, so after becoming independent, he couldn't live in peace.Shi Le, a Jie man, has more talents and talents.All the bandits in the East merged with each other.Although the name obeys the former Zhao, it is actually independent.The king of the East China Sea decided to set up a capital, sent troops to conquer, died in the army, and his soldiers were chased and defeated by Shi Le.The Jin Dynasty then became a situation of being trapped. In 310, Liu Yao, Liu Yuan's clan son, attacked Luoyang, and Emperor Huai was captured.Next year, be killed.Emperor Min was established in Chang'an. In 316, he was captured again.Next year, be killed.When Emperor Yuan supervised Yangzhou, he migrated from Xiapi to Jianye (Xiapi, now Pi County, Jiangsu. Jianye, now Nanjing. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he avoided the taboo of Emperor Min and changed his name to Jiankang), and became Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.At this time, in the north, only Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, were at odds with Rong Di.In the south, Zuti, the governor of Yuzhou, has made great achievements in the current eastern Henan from Huaibei.However, Wang Jun was originally an arrogant person, while Liu Kun was so embarrassed that he finally couldn't support him and was shattered by Shi Le.Because of the mutual suspicion between the Central Committee and Jingzhou, Zu Ti died of indignation when he knew that the work could not be accomplished, and he was unable to resist Shi Le's people. In 328, the former Zhao Dynasty was strangled.Except for Qianliang, who ruled Liangzhou separately, and Qianyan, who was in the east and west of Liaodong, almost all of the north was under his control.

The situation in the south is that Jingzhou is stronger than Yangzhou.After Emperor Yuan came to the throne, he wanted to unify the powers of the upper class, so he sent Wang Dun to supervise Jingzhou.Wang Dun is quite capable, able to control the real power in Jingzhou, but he and the central government are suspicious of each other. In 322, they finally broke.Wang Dun's soldiers entered the capital.Emperor Yuan died of worry and anger.Emperor Ziming was established, quite talented.When Wang Dun died of illness, the rest of the party was leveled.However, Emperor Ming reigned for only three years.Emperor Ming collapsed and his son Cheng was established. He was young, the Empress Dowager Yu's family came to the court, and his younger brother Yu Liang was in power. He was at odds with Su Jun, the internal historian of Liyang (now Hexian County, Anhui Province).Su Jun raised his troops to rebel and ran to Wen Qiao in Xunyang (now Jiujiang County, Jiangxi).Wen Qiao was very loyal to the country, so he invited Tao Kan, the governor of Jingzhou, to beat Su Jun.Tao Kan was already old at that time, so he had no domineering heart.After Kan's death, Yu Liang left the town of Jingzhou.After Yu Liang's death, his younger brothers Yu Yi and Yu Bing succeeded him.At this time, the internal and external powers are all in the hands of the Yu family, so the lives of Emperor Cheng and Emperor Kang are safe and sound. In 344, Emperor Kang died and Emperor Zimu was established.Next year, when Yu Yi died, he asked his son to succeed him, but Prime Minister He Chong refused to listen, and used Huan Wen instead.So between upper and lower streams, there is a tendency of confrontation again.

Shi Le died in 333.Next year, Le Cong Zihu kills Le Zi and becomes self-reliant.Shi Hu is a vicious and unreasonable man, but his army is still strong.Yu Yi sent troops to the Northern Expedition in 342, but failed. In 349, Shi Hu died, and all the sons fought for the throne.Ran Min of the Han Dynasty was the adopted son of a tiger, and he was quite brave, so he killed all the sons of Shihu.Min ordered: "Those who agree with the officials live, and those who disagree with each other go to their own places." So "Zhao people all entered the city within a hundred miles", and "those who went to Hu and Jie filled the door."Min knew that Hu Zhi was not for his own use, so he ordered Hu and Jie to be punished.In Yezhong alone, there were more than 200,000 dead.The four parties also obeyed orders.After Hu and Jie were hit by this, they couldn't get up again.First, Xianbei Murongxin flourished in western Liaoning and merged with eastern Liaoning.To his son, the capital was moved to Longcheng (now Chaoyang County, Rehe).The Murong family was far more civilized than the former and later Zhao, with a vast territory and strong military force.One year before Shihu's death, Murong Hao died, and Zi Junli took advantage of the chaos in the north to invade the Central Plains.Ran Min and Zhan were killed by him.So the land of Hebei belonged to the Murong family.Yao Yizhong, chieftain of Qiang, and Fu Hong, chieftain of Di, were subdued by Later Zhao at first, and have since taken the opportunity to stand on their own.Fu Hong died, and his son Fu Jian entered the pass.Yao Yizhong died, and his son Yao Xiang descended to Jin, hoping to use the power of Jin to develop himself.Because of mutual suspicion between Jin Dynasty and Huan Wen, Yin Hao, a famous scholar, was cited as prime minister, hoping to manage the Central Plains from the bottom.Yin Hao is not without talent, but Yangzhou is weak, and Yin Hao has no time to prepare for the job, so naturally he has to use his inherent strength.So Yao Xiang was used as the forward, but he was invited to attack. He was defeated and lost a lot of military resources.The matter was in 354.First, Huan Wen had destroyed the former Shu, and now he threatened the court and abolished Yin Hao, but he sent troops to the Northern Expedition, defeated Yao Xiang, and restored Luoyang, but he failed to advance again.After Murong Jun's death, his son Murong Wei succeeded him. Although he was young and ignorant, with Murong Ke assisting the government and Murong Chui leading the army, he still had considerable strength.After Yao Xiang was defeated, he entered the pass and was killed by the Qin people. His younger brother Chang surrendered to Qin with all his troops.After the death of Qin Fujian, his son had no way, was murdered by Fu Jian, became self-reliant, and was able to appoint Wang Meng to improve the state affairs, which was particularly powerful.At this time, the north is already difficult to map, so when Hou Zhao and Ran Min competed, the Jin Dynasty really missed an opportunity to restore the Central Plains.At this time, the Yan people sent troops frequently to conquer Henan, and Luoyang was trapped again. In 369, Huanwen sent troops to attack Yan, and was defeated in Fangtou (the name of the city, now Jun County, Henan).Huan Wen meant that he wanted to make some achievements before trying to usurp him.So far, considering that the Northern Expedition had no hope of success, he entered the court in 371 and abolished and established (Emperor Kang collapsed and Emperor Zimu established. It was abolished, and Emperor Jianwen, the son of Emperor Yuan, was established).With the meaning of abdication, Wen satirized the courtiers.Xie An and Wang Tanzhi ruled the country and kept quiet. In 373, Huan Wen died.His brother, Huan Chong, was an unambitious man. After ceding Jingzhou, the political situation was temporarily stabilized.
