Chapter 15 At the age of Gengzi, Qing Gai entered Luoyang

The Shu Han does not play new tricks. As for Soochow, the founding emperor Sun Quan has no creativity, and completely copied Cao Wei's script.In 222 A.D., he was still the king of Wu, so he ignored the "orthodox" dynasty for now—Liu Bei had just come to beat him, and Cao Pi wanted to take advantage of the fire afterwards, but all of them returned in defeat—directly changed the year name to "Huang Wu", with a "yellow" character, and also announced that a yellow dragon was found in Poyang. I mentioned "Orthodoxy" here. The word is said to be derived from the Confucian classic "Spring and Autumn", which means that Zong Zhou is "orthodox" and the world is unified.This vocabulary has gradually become closely related to the cycle of five virtues, because whether it is according to the old school of the Zou family or the new school of the Liu family, it is believed that only the orthodox dynasty can discuss virtue, and the unorthodox (later generations have "partial" "" Stealing system" and the like) are not eligible.So the Three Kingdoms stand together, who is orthodox?Later, some people said that Cao Wei was orthodox, and others said that Shu Han was orthodox. In short, this hat has never been worn on the head of Soochow.

Of course, those are the personal views of later historians, and at that time, Sun Quan believed that he was orthodox, and the people of the Sun family class must also recognize their orthodoxy—could it be that both of you are orthodox, and I am the only one? Yes, then how can we carry this banner! When Sun Quan was still known as the King of Wu, it was reasonable to say that no matter what he said, the orthodoxy could not be ranked above him. The old man couldn't sit still, and finally officially proclaimed himself emperor.Immediately, someone claimed to have seen another yellow dragon in Xiakou—I don’t know if it was a yellow dragon flying all over the sky at that time, or the same yellow dragon was wandering around all over the world—so this year is the first year of the "Yellow Dragon".Sun Quan didn't even bother to think about the year name, so he just came and went, so there is no need to ask. Of course, Dongwu is also Tude, just like Cao Wei.You see how simple it is. You can completely copy other people's theories if you take doctrine completely. You Cao Pi was "fire-born soil" after being abdicated. I stayed in Jiangdong and became emperor myself. "Right?Let the horse come over, let's fight first.

I have to admit that the old Sun family's dedication to auspiciousness is very admirable. Sun Quan changed his reign several times, all of which were supported by auspicious signs and mascots that appeared out of nowhere.For example, in 231 A.D., Kuaiji County reported that "Jiahe" appeared in the territory-the so-called "Jiahe" refers to the seedlings that grow very vigorously or "weirdly". .In August 239 A.D., Wuchang announced the discovery of Qilin again, and relevant departments suggested that the year name should be changed when encountering such auspiciousness.Sun Quan said: "Not long ago, a large group of red crows gathered in front of the temple. I saw it with my own eyes. If the gods thought it was a good omen, then I thought the year name should be changed to 'Chiwu'." The officials immediately flattered: "When King Wu of Zhou attacked Shang Zhou, there was an auspicious omen of a red crow. All the monarchs and ministers saw it, so they took over the world. Your Majesty, you are really a saint!" So it was changed to "Chiwu" in that year.

He obviously calls himself Tude, but this time he played "Chiwu" again. Shouldn't the soil be yellow?Red is the color of fire, what should I do if it doesn't match?Sun Quan didn't insist, and issued an edict saying that since the gods have given the omen, we might as well change our virtues.So change it to Huode?No, the Han Dynasty is the virtue of fire. How can there be any reason why the Wu Dynasty, which succeeded the Han Dynasty, should continue to belong to the virtue of fire?Isn't that the same problem as Liu Bang made at the beginning.Fortunately, Liu Xin already had a plan in place - Zhou Wuwang also saw Chiwu, according to Professor Zou's theory, Zhou is Huo De, but according to Liu Xin's new theory, Zhou is Mu De - Sun Quan After thinking about it, the wood is in the east, and my great Wu is also in the east, and Mu Ketu proves that I will destroy Cao Wei in Tude sooner or later. Well, it is very reliable and relieves my anger, so it is decided.

So Cao Wei is Tude, Shuhan is Huode, which has not changed, but Sun Wu's family has two virtues. It is said that the world is divided into three parts, but Cao Wei's territory is vaster than that of Sun and Liu combined (including the Changshifu of the Western Regions). one cent.But when it comes to all kinds of unreliable auspiciousness, auspicious objects, and prophecies, Cao Wei and Shu Han together can't catch up with Sun Wu.why?In fact, it is also very simple, because after Cao Rui, Cao Wei soon became the power minister of the Sima family. If they want to do tricks that are beneficial to the Sima family, they will not take care of the Cao family;After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang was in power, and then Zhuge Liang's disciples Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others. In the novel, "Zhuge is so wise and close to demons", but Zhuge Liang in history did not like superstition, and of course he was not good at demons. , except for Fei Yi who is a little unreliable, his disciples have basically never played any tricks.

Why is Fei Yi unreliable?It turned out that when he was a general, in order to prepare for the Northern Expedition, he stayed in Hanzhong for many years. He rarely went back to Chengdu. He came back occasionally, but he heard a fortune teller say that "Chengdu has no place for a general", so he turned around and went back. ——In the end, he was assassinated and died in Hanzhong.I suspect that the fortune teller actually wanted to say: "There is no place in Chengdu for the grave of a great general..." Back to Soochow, Soochow, apart from Sun Liang, including Sun Quan, Sun Xiu, and Sun Hao, all of them wield real power. Of course, they will try their best to use superstitious activities to smear their faces.Besides, Cao Wei accepted the abdication of Emperor Han, and Shu Han claimed to have inherited the cause of Yan Han, and they all had orthodox reasons. Only the Sun Wu regime was somewhat inaccurate, and the words were not right, or they could play tricks. Gather people's hearts, I'm afraid the team will not be easy to lead.

So the Sun family practiced superstition, starting from Sun Quan, until Sun Hao, the last monarch, and this Sun Hao was more unrestrained in playing flower jobs than Sun Quan, and he was so unrestrained that future generations could read related deeds. I really don’t know whether to laugh or not It's time to cry.As we said earlier, Sun Quan often changed his reign name as soon as he saw auspiciousness, and it was the same for Sun Hao. In the second year after he succeeded to the throne, there were rumors that Jiang Ling was blessed with nectar, so he changed his reign name to "Manna".

At this time, a "Qi Watcher" who did not leave his name suddenly jumped out and said to Sun Hao: "I recently watched the sky, and it's not quite right. , overwhelmed Yangzhou?" Sun Hao pondered, the current capital is Jianye, which belongs to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou's arrogance has been overwhelmed by Jingzhou, so what's the deal?So he immediately issued an edict to move the capital to Wuchang (belonging to Jingzhou).At the same time, he sent people to excavate the tombs of the ministers and famous families who were located in Jingzhou and connected to the mountains, so as to prevent the so-called "royal spirit" from falling on these families.

Coincidentally, just after Sun Hao left Yangzhou, there was a rebellion in Yong'an County. The bandit Shi Dan kidnapped Sun Hao's brother Sun Qian and killed him all the way to Jianye.Hearing the news, Sun Hao hurriedly sent troops from Jingzhou to suppress it, and then he suddenly realized: "Isn't this the king of Jingzhou who overwhelmed Yangzhou?" The sons and daughters were all beheaded, and they announced: "The emperor sent Jingzhou soldiers to destroy the Yangzhou thieves!" They thought that in this way, the prophecy of the "looker" would be fulfilled, and everything would be fine in the future.

Since everything is safe, Sun Hao can come back.In the second year of Ganlu (266 A.D.), a treasure tripod was dug out in Wuchang, so it was changed to "Bao Ding" and then returned to the capital Jianye.The year name behind Baoding is Jianheng. In the third year of Jianheng (271 AD), it was said that a large group of phoenixes (is it really a pheasant?) gathered in the royal garden, so it was changed to "Phoenix" the following year.In the third year of Fenghuang (274 A.D.), Wu Jun reported that he had dug up a square piece of silver, one foot long and three minutes wide, with the date, month, and day engraved on it, so it was changed to "Tianji" the next year.

In July of the second year of Tianchu (AD 276), Wu Jun (why is it Wu Jun again) played a memorial, saying that the Linping Lake in the county was blocked at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and now it has been dug through. The local old man once said: "This lake If the lake is blocked, the world will be chaotic; if the lake is open, the world will be peaceful." He also dug up a stone box by the lake, and inside it was a small blue-white stone, four inches long and two inches wide, with the words "Emperor" engraved on it.So that month it was changed to "Tianxi". In August of the first year of Tianxi (AD 276), Shangzuo of Poyang County said that a text composed of natural stone patterns was found in Liyang Mountain. , ruled by four generations, and the beginning of peace." Sun Hao thought about it, Chu is Jingzhou, the land under my rule, Wu is Yangzhou, my capital is here, my lord, I was born in Yangzhou, of course I am a "Yangzhou scholar", since the great emperor Sun Quan , Kuaiji Wang Sunliang, Jingdi Sunxiu to my master, exactly four generations, it seems that this is a sign from heaven, indicating that my generation will unify the world and become the real emperor!In addition, Wuxing County also reported that a large hollow stone with a length of more than ten feet was found in Yangxian Mountain. It can really be ingenious, but there is no way, Mount Tai is the territory of the Western Jin Dynasty, and it is not under his control), and it is planned to change to "Tianji" next year. We still have the same saying - "What is good at the top, the effect will be followed by the bottom".Just because the emperor believed in auspiciousness, the bureaucrats below rushed to present mascots. Anyway, those things were not difficult to forge, and there was no technology such as carbon 14 to identify them at that time.But the most unlucky thing is that this guy Sun Hao is not just using superstition to add credit to himself, he really believes it.For example, he raised a large group of wizards in the palace, and one of them prophesied in empty words: "When Gengzi is old, Qinggai will enter Luoyang." Sun Hao was overjoyed when he heard that. Entering Luoyang City, have you won the world? What year did the wizard say that?It was the third year of Jianheng (AD 271). According to the chronology of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, it was the year of Xinmao, nine years before the year of Gengzi.Nine years is not long or short, Sun Haoxin said that I should prepare to mobilize troops now, no one can guarantee that a single battle will destroy the Jin Dynasty and Luoyang City, right?If you are a step too slow and fail to succeed after nine years, you will have to wait another sixty years for the next Gengzi Year. depressed! Sun Hao didn't think about his own strength at all, whether it was possible to defeat the Jin army, let alone enter Luoyang City, whether he could gain a foothold in the Central Plains was a problem.So he launched the Northern Expedition of the Three Armies, only to find out that the weather was cold after running halfway, and he forgot to prepare winter clothes for the soldiers.What kind of battle are you fighting like this?Sun Hao was forced to return to Jianye in despair. After that, it is estimated that he simply forgot about this prophecy, or he really planned to wait another sixty years to give the good opportunity to his children and grandchildren.But don’t tell me, the wizard’s nonsense was really accurate—otherwise, this prophecy would not have been recorded in the history books and passed down to this day.The ninth year after Jianheng's three years was the "Gengzi Year", according to the Gregorian calendar, it was 280 A.D. In that year, the Western Jin Dynasty sent six armies to the south, and soon reached the city of Jianye. Sun Hao had no choice. He had no choice but to take off his shirt and let his men tie him up behind his back, and then lifted the coffin, opened the city gate and surrendered.The Jin general Wang Jun who was surrendered immediately loaded him into a carriage and escorted him to Luoyang. At the age of Gengzi, Sun Hao's "green cover" really entered Luoyang, but his identity was not a conqueror, but a prisoner.
