Chapter 51 Xiao Qiang's disasters come one after another

——Eastern Jin Dynasty generals with their own ghosts After the death of Emperor Xiaowu, Wang Guobao immediately flattered Sima Daozi again, "(Sima) Daozi was even more confused and relied on him as his confidant."Wang Xu, Wang Xu, Wang Guobao's clan younger brother, Langya Neishi, also participated in the administration of the government with his clan elder brother, and the power was poured inside and outside.In ancient and modern China and abroad, all villains have the ability to make the public happy and angry. With the ultimate goal of benefit, they will not hesitate to bow their knees, speak sweet words, and be shameless.What's more, Sima Daozi, king of Kuaiji, is a mediocre person.

Former general Wang Gong (Originally, the imperial court conferred on Wang Gong the title of "Pingbei General", but in the Jin Dynasty, those who had the military title of "Bei" did not end well. "Resignation", the court changed it to "former general") is the brother of Emperor Xiaowu, the wife of the Queen, and the uncle of Emperor An.When he entered the pilgrimage to worship Emperor Xiaowu's tomb, Wang Gong often "speak straight" to Sima Daozi, advising him not to get close to villains. Wang Guobao and Wang Xu brothers were afraid of Wang Gong.Wang Xu persuaded Wang Guobao to ambush Wang Gong and kill him when he entered the court of Emperor An.Wang Guobao was cowardly by nature and did not dare to agree.

Sima Daozi, king of Kuaiji, thought he was the uncle of Emperor An, and Wang Gong was the uncle of Emperor An. He is an old-fashioned old man who doesn't know much about the world, and gradually made Sima Daozi resentful, and he gradually developed a sense of mutual affection. As for Wang Gong, some of his subordinates also advised him to lead troops to kill Wang Guobao when he entered the court.Fearing that Wang Guobao's good friend Yu Kai, the governor of Yuzhou, would have a strong army, Wang Gong hesitated to go first.On the day of returning to the town, Wang Gong still had a straight temper in front of the public, loudly admonishing Kuaiji Wang Sima Daozi to "accept blunt words, let go of Zheng's voice, and stay away from sycophants".

The "sycophants" Wang Guobao, Wang Xu brothers and others were among the guests seeing off, listening to Wang Gong's words, "the more afraid they are in their hearts". Not only did Sima Daozi have no sycophants, but when Wang Gong left, he ordered Wang Guobao to be Zuo Servant, to lead the election, that is, to take charge of the personnel power in the court, and to assign all the guards of the Eastern Palace to Wang Guobao's command.The only thing that gives the people a little psychological comfort is that Wang Dao's grandson, You Pu She Wang Xun, was also worshiped by the court as a minister.Wang Xun used to be Huan Wen's staff when he was young. At that time, he was highly valued by General Huan. It was predicted that he would be "Black-headed Duke", that is, he could be a senior official of the Three Dukes without waiting until he was old and white-headed.Wang Xun and his brother Wang Min were originally Xie An's son-in-law. Later, the Wang and Xie families fell out due to conflicts of interest, and Xie An forced both brothers to divorce Xie's daughter.In the last years of Emperor Xiaowu, in order to restrain the power of Sima Daozi, Wang Xun was transferred to the central government to work.Before Emperor Xiaowu's death, Wang Xun dreamed that someone would "give him a big pen like a rafter". When he woke up, he told people that he "will have a big deal".As a result, Zhang Meiren murdered Emperor Xiaowu, and the posthumous posthumous proposal was drafted by Wang Xun.

After the brothers Wang Guobao and Wang Xu came to power, they "accepted bribes and extravagantly, and they didn't know how to be extremely disciplined."Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan heard the letter, and under the name of the "Northern Expedition", they repaired their armor and reined in their troops, and each made preparations. Yin Zhongkan was also from a wealthy family in Chenjun, and he talked about everyone. He was as famous as Han Kangbo when he was young.This man is also a filial son. His father, Master Yin, has been ill for many years. Yin Zhongkan taught himself medical skills, but because of "taking medicine with tears" for a long time, he lost one eye.After entering the court as an official, Emperor Xiaowu trusted Yin Zhongkan very much.One day, Emperor Xiaowu asked: "I heard people say that the father of a minister had a nervous breakdown. When I heard the sound of ants fighting under the bed, I thought it was a fight between bulls. Who is that person?" Yin Zhongkan immediately knelt down and wept, and replied: " The minister is in a dilemma" - because the person Emperor Xiaowu talked about was Master Yin.The ancients paid attention to pure filial piety, and there were many taboos. Yin Zhongkan, who was a courtier, was really embarrassed.

Although Yin Zhongkan has a good reputation, he is indeed not a general.After he took office, the political affairs were in chaos, and he just gave small favors to appease the people. Wang Gong felt that the danger was approaching, so he took the initiative to send someone to contact Yin Zhongkan, and planned to join forces to attack Wang Guobao and others.Huan Xuan, who had always been depressed, also wanted to fish in troubled waters, so he also urged Yin Zhongkan to raise troops: "Brother Wang Guobao has power, life and death are arbitrary, but Wang Gong is the uncle of the country, they may not dare to take him first. Minggong, are you The late emperor, who was promoted to governor of Jingzhou in an extraordinary way, most of the public opinion thinks that you are not a Fang Bo, and Wang Guobao and others may issue an edict to transfer you to Beijing and take away the military power, what will you do at that time?"

Huan Xuan's words broke Yin Zhongkan's mind, and he hurriedly asked: "I have been worrying about this for a long time, so what should I do?" "Together with Wang Xiaobo (Wang Gong's characters), I, Huanxuan, and all the people will follow me, and we can build a great cause." Yin Zhongkan thinks so.He summoned Yongzhou Inspector Xi Hui and his cousin Nanman Xiaowei Yin Qi to discuss important matters, but they both disagreed, thinking that raising an army was a serious matter and suspected of treason. In terms of Jiankang, Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, heard that Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan had changed, and immediately declared martial law inside and outside.At the same time, he summoned Shang Shu Ling Wang Xun and asked: "Do you know that the two vassals are rebellious?" I don't know anything about it." Wang Guobao was even more terrified when he heard this, and he realized that Wang Gong and others came here for him alone.

Wang Xu was vicious. He persuaded his cousin Wang Guobao to take advantage of Sima Daozi's order to kill Wang Xun, Che Yin and others first, so as to get rid of Shi Wang, and then took the opportunity to coerce Emperor An and Sima Daozi, and coerce the emperor to order the princes to send troops to crusade against Wang Gong. And Yin Zhongkan.Such a calculation is feasible, and the probability of success is estimated to be not small.But Wang Guobao has a big appetite for corruption, but has little courage to punish him. After Wang Xun and Che Yin were summoned into the palace, Wang Guobao not only did not order to kill each other, but instead asked Ji Yu Wang Xun: "Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan raised troops, what should I do?"

"The two vassals raised troops to fight for power with you. There is no deep hatred between them, so don't worry about it." Wang Xun said. "Would they treat me like Cao Shuang after they gained power (that is, the story of Sima Yi's murder of Cao Shuang's three clans)?" Wang Guobao's question exposed his "innocence" in politics. "How is that possible? Even if you are guilty of Cao Shuang, do Wang Gong and others have the courage of Emperor Xuan (Sima Yi)?" Wang Xun "comforted" Wang Guobao. Wang Guobao was relieved when he heard the words, and turned to ask Che Yin's opinion.

Che Yin said: "If the imperial court sends troops to attack Wang Gong, he must stick to the city. At the same time, Yin Zhongkan took advantage of the upper class and went straight to Jiankang. At that time, what should you do? ?” After these words, Wang Guobao was so frightened that his face turned pale.The matter of the murder had been completely forgotten, so he hurriedly "signed a letter to dismiss him, and he will be punished for the crime". Originally holding the power of the imperial court, the power of the imperial guard, and the power of personnel transfer, Wang Guobao was frightened by Che Yin's few words, and offered to resign without even showing a little resistance. It was indeed extremely mediocre. "Since I regretted it, I pretended to be an imperial edict to restore my own official."Resigned and resigned.Maybe he can save his life.It is estimated that he was provoked by Wang Xu after returning to the mansion, and he regretted it again, and wanted to take another action.

After a lot of tossing, Sima Daozi, who was already cowardly, also knew that this "right hand" could not be relied on at all.In order to quell the rebellion of the two vassals, he "criminalized the (king) national treasure" and sent people to arrest Wang Guobao and Wang Xu and put him in prison. The heads of the two brothers really work.Wang Gong stopped his troops and returned to Jingkou.Although Yin Zhongkan attached himself to Wang Gong, he hesitated to send troops.Hearing the news of Wang Guobao's death, he "resisted the appearance and raised his troops" and dispatched General Yang Quanqi to Tunbal Mausoleum.Sima Daozi personally wrote a letter to dissuade him, and Yin Zhongkan also went down the donkey along the slope and led his troops back to the town. Things come to an end for now. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.Sima Yuanxian, the eldest son of Sima Daozi, was sixteen years old. At that time, he was a servant of the clan.Sima Daozi was overjoyed to see what his son saw. He worshiped Sima Yuanxian as the general who conquered the captives, and assigned a large number of soldiers under his command and dispatch.At the same time, Sima Daozi used Sima Shangzhi and Sima Xiu's brothers, the clan Qiao Wang, as his confidantes, and appointed Sima Shangzhi's staff officer Wang Yu (Wang Guobao's different mother and brother, who was not convicted of Wang Guobao before) as the governor of Jiangzhou. Formal support, in case Wang and Yin revolted again. On Huanxuan's side, seeing that Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan had failed to return from their first campaign, and he hadn't made any money, he wrote a letter requesting the imperial court to be transferred to Guangzhou.Sima Daozi, king of Kuaiji, was just worried that Huan Xuan would be in harmony with Yin Zhongkan in Jingzhou, so he immediately agreed to transfer Huan Xuan to be the governor of Guangzhou.Although Huan Xuan was ordered, he still stayed where he was and postponed his departure to observe changes in time. Yu Kai, the governor of Yuzhou, expressed dissatisfaction with the imperial court's cutting off the four counties under Wang Yu to be in charge of him. Shangshu dissuaded him, but the imperial court refused.With resentment, Yu Kai sent his son Yu Hong to persuade Wang Gong: "The brothers of King Qiao Sima Shang now hold real power, worse than Wang Guobao. The purpose is to use the name of the court to weaken Fangzhen and usurp the throne. Now their plan has failed. We should act first to be strong." Wang Gong had long suspected that Sima Shangzhi's brother was doing harm to his nephew Emperor An, so he followed Yu Kai's suggestion and sent Yin Zhongkan and Huan Xuan to jointly raise troops again. When Sima Daozi heard about the change, he sent someone to win over Yu Kai, saying: "In the past, I had a happy meal with you, and we were of the same flesh and blood. If Wang Gong succeeds, he will definitely think you are a repeated villain, and he will be afraid that your head and family will be ruined." Save!" Yu Kai was very angry, and took up a pen to write the letter: "At the beginning when Wang Gong went to Beijing to pay respects to the mausoleum, it was because I was afraid that I did not dare to revolt. What happened last year (referring to Wang Gong's army before the killing of Wang Guobao), I have been waiting for the court. I have never betrayed the prince. But the prince did not dare to resist Wang Gong and killed Wang Guobao to protect himself. Since then, who else in the world dares to do his best for the prince? Yu Kai doesn't dare to joke around with the lives of his entire family." Yu Kai and Wang Guobao are good friends, so he is not only annoyed by Wang Yu's division of the county under his jurisdiction, but also resentful because his old friend Wang Guobao was killed by Sima Daozi as a scapegoat. Hearing that Yu Kai had promised Wang Gong to raise troops together and recruit soldiers and horses, the court was in a state of panic. At the age of seventeen, Sima Yuanxian, the son of King Kuaiji, gave birth to a calf, and he was not afraid at all. He advised his father, "I didn't ask Wang Gong before, so I'm in trouble today. If you let him go, disaster will befall you." up." Sima Daozi was frightened and didn't know what to do.Therefore, he entrusted the government affairs to his son and drank every day to relieve his worries. "(Sima) Yuanxian escaped from the police, quite involved in literary meaning, with a strong ambition, and took safety as his own responsibility."Some people who are attached to flattery all praised Sima Yuan for his extraordinary martial arts, and he had the demeanor of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Since Wang Gong lingered and waited and watched when he raised his troops for the first time, Yin Zhongkan always felt that he had lost face.Yin Zhongkan was impatient to raise troops this time, but he didn't know how to send troops, so he handed over all the military command to Yang Quanqi, who was then the Minister of Nanjun.Yang Quanqi was the vanguard, leading a navy of 5,000 troops ahead.Huan Xuan led the troops to follow.Yin Zhongkan brought 20,000 troops with him, and walked behind the palace. Huan Xuan's evil intentions do not wait to be revealed, and this Yang Quanqi is not a good one.It stands to reason that Yang Zhen, the ninth ancestor of Yang Quanqi, was the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty, and he was a member of the Hongnong family.After the Yongjia chaos in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Yang family crossed the river a little later, and then failed to conclude a marriage with the famous people in Jiangdong in time, so they have been suppressed all the time.Yang Quanqi "gnashed his teeth generously" for this, and wanted to vent his anger by causing trouble, and took the opportunity to make the Yang family re-enter the ranks of famous families. In September of the second year of Antiquity Long'an (398), when Yang Quanqi and Huanxuan's warships arrived at Wenkou, Wang Yu fled to Linchuan without even daring to shoot an arrow. The Jin court bit the bullet, Kuaiji King Sima Daozi took his eldest son Sima Yuanxian as the governor of the conquest, and sent General Wei Wang Xun and Right General Xie Yan (son of Xie An) to lead troops to fight against Wang Gong, and sent Qiao Wang Sima Shangzhi to fight against Yu. regular script. Yu Kai was generous and loyal for a long time, but he was defeated in the first battle, and he rode back to Huanxuan alone.Huanxuan was resourceful and courageous, defeated the official army at Baishi, and joined forces with Yang Quanqi to approach Hengjiang.The brothers Sima Shangzhi and Sima Xiu were defeated.The Jin army retreated from all directions, so they had to return to defend the stone city. Wang Gong was even more proud when he heard that the Allied forces had won.Wang Gong was "a mausoleum of talents", and after killing Wang Guobao, he felt even more curious, wanting to set up troops non-stop to show himself.Originally, the emperor's uncle had no ambitions at all, but the alluring taste in the power field would always make people want to stop and linger. The reason why Wang Gong was so confident that he raised troops twice was all due to his subordinate Liu Laozhi, the internal history of Nanpeng City. The name Liu Laozhi gave people a sense of being born out of nowhere during the Battle of Feishui.It was he who led 5,000 "Beifu soldiers" to defeat 20,000 of Fu Jian's famous general Liang Cheng in one fell swoop. The solid foundation for the final victory of the water war.After the Battle of Feishui, Liu Laozhi led his troops into the Northern Expedition and entered Tunjuan City.Later, Houyan Murongchui and Fu Jian fought in the north, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty sent Liu Laozhi to help Fu Pi (politics is like this, there are no permanent friends, and there are no permanent enemies. dry, and now they have become allies to deal with the Xianbei people together).In the battle of Wangqiaoze, the Jin army was scattered due to the scramble for supplies, and was defeated by Murongchui.After this defeat, Liu Laozhi's soaring evil spirit seemed to disappear all at once. Later, because he did not rescue the besieged friendly troops in Linqiu, he was cowardly dismissed from office. After Wang Gong left the town, he re-appointed Liu Laozhi in order to ask for Wang Guobao.But Wang Gong thought he had been a noble family for many generations, and he was his uncle today, so he didn't treat Liu Jianzhi very politely, and only met him as a minion and general. "(Liu) jailed for his talents, deeply ashamed and hated." After Sima Yuanxian, the eldest son of Sima Daozi, learned of this, the young conspirator was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to persuade Liu Laozhi to abandon Wang Gong, and promised to hand over Wang Gong's position to Liu Laozhi after the matter was completed.At the same time, Sima Daozi also humbly wrote a personal letter to Liu Laozhi, "for Chen Fufu". Liu Laozhi hesitated at the beginning when he was lured by King Kuaiji and his son, so he discussed with his son Liu Jingxuan: "Wang Gong received the great kindness of the late emperor, and is now his uncle. Not only did he not serve the royal family, but he raised his troops several times. Xiang Jingshi. On the day of Kejie, will he be subdued by the Son of Heaven and the King of Kuaiji? Now, I want to fight back against Wang Gong, what do you think?" Liu Jingxuan understood his father's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Although the imperial court is not all good, it is also not evil. Wang Gong relied on his military power, slandered the royal family, and was a rebellious and treacherous minister. Your lord, you and Wang Gong are not blood and blood, and righteousness is not a monarch. We have worked together for a period of time, and the relationship is not harmonious. Why not fight against it!" Liu Jingxuan's words are not unreasonable, but there are also some guilt.If Wang Gong couldn't afford to use Liu Laozhi, I'm afraid this hero would have been wasted forever. The father and son discussed secretly in the tent, but there were ears outside the window.He Danzhi, who joined Wang Gong's army, found out about it.He Canjun immediately secretly reported to Wang Gong. Coincidentally, "there is a gap between He Danzhisu and (Liu) prison", Wang Gong also always knew that these two subordinates often had conflicts, so he thought it was He Canjun who falsely accused General Liu.Not only did he not believe in He Danzhi, but Wang Gong also entertained Liu Laozhi with wine, and among the crowd, "worship (Liu) Laozhi as his brother, and he is equipped with elite soldiers and armor, and he is well matched with him."This move is indeed a death reminder.Wang Gong usually treats Liu Laozhi carelessly, and only treats him lightly with Buqu's subordinates.After hearing He Danzhi's report, Wang Gong went out of his usual way and worshiped Liu Laozhi as his brother again. This will make General Liu more suspicious and fearful, and on the contrary facilitate his quick rebellion. Wang Gong sent Liu Laozhi and Yan Yan, the governor under the tent, to set off together.After walking a few miles, Liu Laozhi beheaded Yan Yan and surrendered to the court (actually the king of Kuaiji).At the same time, he sent his son Liu Jingxuan and his son-in-law Gao Yazhi to lead a forceful army to return to Wang Gong's camp. Wang Gong didn't have any psychological or military preparations. He was reviewing the army outside the city when he suddenly saw soldiers wearing uniforms of his own army approaching him.This famous man can't ride a horse, and after running for several miles, the sides of his thighs were ground to blood.Fortunately, Que had an old subordinate Yin Que who never forgot his old feelings, and rowed a small boat to carry Wang Gong on board, intending to send him to Huanxuan for "refuge".On the way, he met Qian Qiang, Yin Que's enemy.Qian Qiang was once "handled" by Yin Que for tax evasion, and he harbored resentment.Seeing that there was someone in Yin's boat, he guessed that it was Wang Gong, and immediately reported it to the government army. Both Wang and Yin were captured by the Jin court and escorted to the capital Jiankang. Before Wang Gong entered the city, he was beheaded in Nitang, the northeast suburb of Jiankang, under the order of Sima Daozi, king of Kuaiji. Wang Gong is a person with an upright nature, beautiful appearance, good at talking, and takes the world as his own responsibility, but he has great ambitions and few talents, does not show mercy, worships Buddhism and Taoism, and tires the people.When Beifu took office, he transferred civilian husbands and overhauled Buddhist temples, and the scholars complained.In the book, the reputation of "Zhuo Zhuo is like the moon in spring" is praised by Mr. Wang.When he was young, Wang Gong was covered with a crane cloak and walked through the snow. The celebrities at that time saw it and sighed, "This is a real god among immortals."However, after all, Wang Gong was fancy but not useful, improperly selected people, misused Liu Jianzhi, and finally killed himself. In any case, this famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also considered a man. When he was about to be sentenced, he still recited Buddhist scriptures, took care of his beard and temples, and said to the prisoner: "I am secretly trusting people, so I am here. My original heart, I am indeed loyal to the country. Under a hundred generations, I hope someone will know my sincerity, Wang Gong!" Wang Gong's five sons, Wang Gong's younger brother Wang Xun, and Wang Gong's nephew were all killed on the same day, except for one concubine who was young at the time and was fostered at the wet nurse's house.Wang Gong's former subordinates smuggled the child to Huanxuan, and he was able to raise him, but this line remained.It was not until Huan Xuan came to power that Wang Gong was rehabilitated.Qian Qiang, who denounced Wang Gong and Yin Que, and the captors who arrested them were also cut in half. Let's go back to the Jin court Kuaiji king.Sima Daozi and his son did not break their promise, and made Liu Laozhi the governor of Yan, Qing, Ji, You, Bing, Xu, Yangzhou and Jinling military forces, completely replacing Wang Gong's position. Although Wang Gong died, Yin Zhongkan, Huan Xuan, Yang Quanqi and others were not destroyed. They had already approached Wuhu and Stone City by different routes. Liu Jianzhi was upright and confident, and he rushed to the capital at the head of Beifu Jin, and set up a camp in Xinting.When Huan Xuan and Yang Quanqi saw the "Beifu soldiers" coming, they were all terrified and hurriedly retreated to Caizhou (tens of miles away from Jiankang).Yin Zhongkan's tens of thousands of troops were not very intimidated by Liu Jianzhi, and they still approached the capital calmly. When the capital was in turmoil, General Huan Xiu of the Left Guard came out to advise Sima Daozi.Huan Xiu was the son of Huan Chong, the nephew of Huan Wen, and the cousin of Huan Xuan.Politics in ancient China was so complicated. The same clan and even brothers stood in different camps, thinking about each other. Huan Xiu thought: "Huan Xuan, Yin Zhongkan and others have always been dominated by Wang Gong. Now that Wang Gong is dead, the army has lost its strength. If the court grants Huan Xuan and Yang Quanqi two high-ranking officials, they will be happy , separated from Yin Zhongkan, when the time comes, we can get rid of Yin Zhongkan first." Sima Daozi acted according to his plan. In the name of the imperial court, he supported Huan Xuanjiang Prefecture Governor, summoned Xihui to return to the court as Minister, replaced Xihui with Yang Quanqi as Yongzhou Governor, Huan Xiu as Jingzhou Governor, and Yin Zhongkan was deposed as Guangzhou Governor.Such an insidious plan of alienation really succeeded.Yin Zhongkan was furious when he got the imperial edict, and ordered Huan Xuan and Yang Quanqi to march.Both Huan and Xuan "rejoiced in the court's order, and wanted to accept it, but hesitated." Yin Zhongkan was ashamed and angry, knowing that this trip had no chance of success, he immediately pulled out his army and returned from Wuhu Lake.But Lao Yin also came up with vicious tricks. He sent people to spread rumors to Huan Xuan and Yang Quanqi's soldiers who were stationed in Caizhou: "If you don't return to me, I will kill all your family members when I return to Jiangling." !" This move was extremely effective, Yang Quanqi's subordinates immediately had 2,000 people fleeing, Huan Xuan was also afraid of the mutiny, and immediately led his troops back to the west, chasing Yin Zhongkan, Chen said that he had no second thoughts. Now that everyone is together again, they are also called brothers and brothers, and drink blood wine as an alliance.At the same time, Yin Zhongkan, Huan Xuan, and Yang Quanqi jointly wrote a letter again, appealing for Wang Gong's grievances, arguing for Yin Zhongkan's demotion, and accusing Huan Xiu. Sima Daozi is indeed a mediocre talent who changes rapidly.In fear, he dismissed Huan Xiu, who had advised him, and resumed Yin Zhongkan's post as governor of Jingzhou.Huanxiu was a villain in vain, and was criticized by the court for "only for his own sake, mistrusting the court". The three of Yin, Huan, and Yang seemed to be monolithic, but after this battle, they each had doubts and doubts in their hearts, and they all had a heart for each other.Yang Quanqi was arrogant and fierce, while Huan Xuan was self-reliant on his talent, so he always had a disdain for this general who came from a humble background.Therefore, Yang Quanqi secretly persuaded Yin Zhongkan to kill Huan Xuan.It's not that Yin Zhongkan didn't want to kill Huan Xuan, but he was secretly jealous of Yang Quanqi's brother's bravery. He was afraid that if Huan Xuan was killed, no one would restrain the Yang brothers, so he never did it.In the end, the three "returned to their respective towns".Deep in their hearts, each of the three wanted to get rid of each other quickly. Although another major political crisis was resolved, Sima Daozi, king of Kuaiji, was in shock for several days and became seriously ill, but he still used wine as medicine and drank endlessly.Sima Yuanxian knew well that his father "looked at him, but satirized the imperial court to explain (Sima) Daozi Situ and Yangzhou governor", and took the post of Yangzhou governor himself.After being drunk for several days, Sima Daozi woke up and realized that he had lost his real power. Sima Yuanxian was eighteen years old at the time, and he was very resourceful, and Zhang Fashun, the prefect of Lujiang, an old man in the officialdom, gave him advice, and he often did unexpected things.Soon, Sima Yuanxian was appointed as Minister of Records.At that time, Sima Daozi was called Donglu, and Sima Yuanxian was called Xilu.The father and son divide the mansion, the west record car rides the surplus door, and the east record door is empty.The tendency to follow the trend in the political field can be seen here. Although Sima Yuanxian is young, just at the age of entering college today (eighteen years old), he is harsh by nature, cruel and easy to kill, and confiscated households belonging to wealthy families who had just been exempted from slavery in various counties, and forced them all to move to The vicinity of the capital is full of military service, and the name is "Leshu" (meaning that I am willing to serve as a soldier and be governed by the government).Yuan Xian wanted to directly control this group of "music families", because neither the Beifu Army nor the Jingzhou Army were directly related to him.However, the young and strong laborers that Yuan Xian forced to confiscate, their grandfathers were slaves, they had just obtained the status of free farmers, they had farmland and a family recently, husbands and wives had just lived a small life in eastern Zhejiang, and suddenly they became laborers again. It is conceivable that the resentment in the heart of the "soldier family" (and the "soldier household" inherited from generation to generation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty has a low social status) can be imagined.At the same time, the big landlords and aristocratic families were also extremely dissatisfied with this, because the order of the Jin court caused them to lose many shady tenants, and their economic interests were greatly hit. Therefore, they also hated Sima Yuanxian to the bone.It was this extremely unpopular move that made the people of the Jiangdong counties feel heartbroken and wanted to rebel.
