Chapter 4 One-third rule Jinyexing

——The great situation in the era of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty The demeanor of the Wei and Jin Dynasties sounds so desirable—Seven sages in the bamboo grove, Liu Ling drunk, Ruan Ji singing proudly, Ji Kang playing the piano, Wang Yan is calm, celebrities are romantic, and the characters are handsome.But when the page of the history book is really opened, it is more about the killing of knives and fire, the moaning of tears and blood, the rampant conspiracy and the loss of loyalty.In the first year of Taikang (280), the Sima family captured Sun Hao and unified them into one, ending the 91-year split since the Dong Zhuo Rebellion.However, the sky was not good enough for Jin, and Emperor Wu of Jin did not choose the right heir. His idiot son, Emperor Hui of Jin, succeeded to the throne. This led to the bloody "Eight Kings Rebellion".The people were killed and injured countless times, wars continued, the Central Plains was turbulent, falling into divisions, soldiers coming and going, killing cycles, and people dying—"The wind and rain are always blown away by wind and rain."

In the Jin Dynasty, the Sima family won the country, similar to Cao Wei, "deceiving his widows and orphans".However, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, father and son heroes, overthrew the barbarian heroes, and dominated the north, allowing the weak to survive, just like picking the fruit of a self-planted fruit tree and enjoying the throne, which can also be convincing.Sima Yi was entrusted by Emperor Wei Ming, and the old guy pretended to be sick, stupid, and demented, and took the opportunity to kill Cao Shuang, the clan of Cao Wei. Since then, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been holding the state power. "Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passers-by."Traitors beget traitors.At the end of the second year of Emperor Xianxi of Wei and Yuan (265), Sima Yan usurped the throne shortly after the death of his father and established the Jin Dynasty, known as the Western Jin Dynasty in history.

In the last years of the Wei Dynasty, the old heroes of the Three Kingdoms era had already died of illness and battle.After Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu Kingdom was in political chaos, and Liu Adou, who couldn't help him, could only surrender with the city under the pressure of Deng Aiqi's soldiers.Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, was tyrannical, and his subordinates were eccentric. Wang Junlou's boats came to the river, and Jinling's king's spirit was sadly withdrawn.In the first year of Taikang (280), Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sun Hao unified the three parts, and the Jin Dynasty finally officially ended the split after the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. "There are no heroes in the world, so Zhu Zi became famous."Emperor Wu of Jin was not a master of great talent with great ambitions and far-sighted strategies, that is to say, he was lucky, and he caught up with everything that should be caught up. The NFDA two people were lucky.But if everything goes to extremes, "Since the emperor suppressed Wu, he specialized in banquets and neglected political affairs, and he was in danger of killing thousands of people in the court. He often rode sheep carts and let them go where they wanted. When they had banquets and went to bed, the palace servants inserted bamboo leaves into them." Households, salt and sweat drained the land to attract imperial chariots, but the (emperor) stepfather Yang Jun and his younger brothers Ji and Ji began to use it, and the traffic is please, and the momentum is inside and outside."

The emperor's lust is not a serious crime.However, the number of beauties in the harem in the middle and later period exceeded 10,000, which indeed shows that the emperor's "sex power" was too much.Of course, destroying Shu and Ping Wu, and unifying the world, is indeed an extraordinary great cause, which can only be realized by gathering together hundreds of millions of people at the right time and place.After all, Sima Yan was just a layman, lacking the deliberation that an emperor should have and the long-term vision of "Eternal Emperor", the signs of decline and decline are already showing signs.

But to be fair, although Sima Yan forced Wei Emperor Cao Huan to take the throne, he himself was kind and honest. The surrendered masters were like Liu Chan and Sun Hao, and the previous masters were like Cao Huan. Supported, never harmed.For disobedient ministers, Emperor Wu was also tolerant.In the third year of Taikang, after Sima Yan performed the sacrificial ceremony in Nanxiao, he was in a good mood, so he asked Liu Yi, the captain of Sili, who accompanied him: "Compared with the emperors of the Han Dynasty, who can I be as famous as?" Liu Yi replied without hesitation. Said: "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty." Sima Yan was more surprised than angry, and asked, "How do you compare me with these two foolish emperors?" Liu Yi said, "Emperors Huan and Ling sold official money into the official treasury. Your Majesty sells official money to private parties, so in this way, it is not as good as Emperors Huan and Ling." Sima Yan laughed when he heard this: "In the age of Huan and Ling, I didn't hear this. Victory." From this, we can see the generosity and kindness of Emperor Wu of Jin.

In the middle and late period of Emperor Wu's reign of Jin Dynasty, the country was fine, Wen Tian and Wu were entertaining, extravagant, how could the minister ever "eclipse ten thousand dollars in the sun, and there is no place to put chopsticks".His son, He Shao, followed suit even more, "There must be all kinds of treasures from all over the world for food, and the price of offering for one day is 20,000 yuan."A meal costs more than ten thousand dollars. From this inference, one can imagine the extravagance of these people.There are twelve chapters in "Traveling Extravagance" in the middle episode, which are devoted to the absurd life of the ministers of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty who were intoxicated with money and scrambled for wealth. Here are a few excerpts from which we can peek at the absurdity and extravagance of the people at that time from a small side:

Every time Shi Chong wanted to invite guests to Yanji, he often ordered the beauties to drink; if the guests couldn't drink enough, he sent the Huangmen to kill the beauties.Prime Minister Wang (Wang Dao) and the General (Wang Dun) shared their admiration.The prime minister was not good at drinking, so he forced himself to be intoxicated.Every time the general came to him, he refused to drink to observe the changes. He had already beheaded three people, and his appearance remained the same, but he still refused to drink.The prime minister let it go, and the general said, "It's He Yuqing's business to commit suicide to the Yi family!"

There are often more than a dozen maidservants in Shichong toilets, all of whom are dressed in beautiful clothes and decorated with algae, and are equipped with decocted nail powder and agarwood.And order new clothes.Customers are too ashamed to go to the toilet.General Wang went, took off his old clothes and put on new ones, with a proud look on his face.The group of maidservants said to each other: "This guest must be a thief." Emperor Wu tasted the home of Wang Wuzi (Wang Ji), and Wuzi offered food and glassware.There are more than a hundred maidservants, all of whom are silk and silk, eating and drinking with their hands.The steamed porpoise is plump and delicious.The emperor asked strangely.The answer was: "Drink dolphin with human milk." The emperor was very upset and went away before he finished eating.Unknown works by Wang and Shi.

Shi Chong and Wang Kai competed for arrogance, and they were rich and beautiful, so that they could be used as decorations.Emperor Wu, Kai's nephew, always helped Kai.Taste Xu Cikai with a coral tree two feet high.The branches and branches support the sparseness, which is rare in the world.Kai to show admiration; admiration is over, hit it with iron Ruyi, and it will be broken in the hand.Kai regretted it, but also thought it was his own treasure, so his voice was very harsh.Chong said: "It's not enough to hate, I'm returning to you now." Nai ordered the left and right to take coral trees, three or four feet long, with peerless stems, and six or seven of them with brilliant brilliance, as many as Kai Xu.Kai was at a loss.

Wang Junfu (Wang Kai) cooks with NFDB2 rice cooker, Shi Jilun (Shi Chong) cooks with candles... Wang Wuzi was blamed and moved to Beimang.At that time, there were a lot of people and the land was expensive, so I bought good horses and shot horses, bought land to make 埒, and made coins.People at that time called it "Golden Ditch". ("Shishuoxinyu Thirtyth Elimination of Extravagance") Shi Chong even killed his own beauties for persuading wine, Wang Ji used human milk to feed the piglets used for cooking, Wang Kai and Shi Chong fought for the rich is a typical example of extravagance through the ages, the absurdity of using malt syrup to boil pots and using candles as firewood for cooking is just like Lighting cigarettes with dollar bills is a perverted waste that has no meaning and only seeks to distort pleasure! "The harm of extravagance is worse than natural disasters."Emperor Wu of Jin himself was a top-level womanizer, and in addition to the prevalence of indulgence at that time, the whole society was in an atmosphere of obsession and indulgence from top to bottom.
