Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 100 Why not eat minced meat? Is Sima Zhong an idiot?

[Jin Hui Emperor Sima Zhong, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most wonderful emperor in China. 】

[At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the world was divided into three kingdoms, Wei, Shu, and Wu. 】

[Sima Yan was originally the son of the Jin Dynasty, and later forced Wei Yuan Emperor Cao Huan to abdicate, ascended the throne as emperor, named the country Jin, and changed it to Yuan Taishi. 】

[In the fifth year of Xianning, the war between Jin and Wu was launched to achieve national unification. 】

[Sima Yan has more than ten heirs, but why must he pass the throne to Sima Zhong who is not normal. 】

[Many emperors must have this question. 】

[The normal son is not used, but the idiot Sima Zhong is made the prince. 】

[The reason is mainly the starting point. 】

[One: the primogeniture inheritance system. 】

[Sima Yan's eldest son is not Sima Zhong, but Sima Gui, but Sima Gui died at the age of two, so Sima Zhong is actually the eldest son. 】

[The eldest son inheritance system is an old tradition of the Han nationality. It has been passed down for thousands of years in the Jin Dynasty. The benefits of the eldest son inheritance system are very great. It can avoid the competition for the throne among the princes of the palace and cause chaos. Therefore, although Sima Yan has more than ten sons, as the successor to the throne, Sima Zhong is obviously the first to inherit. 】

[Second: Sima Yan doesn't think Sima Zhong is an idiot. 】

【Sima Zhong didn't like to read since he was a child. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. 】

[Once, in order to test Sima Zhong's thinking ability, Sima Yan specially asked him a few questions and asked him to hand in the paper within three days. 】

[After Sima Zhong got the question, he didn't know how to answer it. His wife, Jananfeng, was a very smart person. Seeing this, he immediately invited several learned old gentlemen to answer Sima Zhong's questions. 】

【After reading the answer sheet, Sima Yan felt that his son's thinking was still very clear, so he was relieved. 】

[Third: Many people speak well of Sima Zhong. 】

[After Sima Zhong was established as the prince, there was a large group of people around him. Of course, they didn't want Sima Zhong to be deposed, so they tried their best to speak good things about Sima Zhong in front of Sima Yan. 】

[Fourth: Sima Yan wants to expand the strength of his own branch of the family. 】

[This point can be said to be the most critical. 】

[In the early years of the Jin Dynasty, the political structure of the Jin Dynasty was very complicated, because the Sima family took the throne from Cao Wei. 】

[Therefore, the throne is very unstable. 】

[In order to weaken the power of other ministers and tyrannical powers, the Sima family wantonly entrusted kings with the same surname, from the descendants of Sima Yi, to the descendants of Sima Shi, to the descendants of Sima Zhao, to the descendants of Sima Yan, and took turns to crown the king until the early years of the Jin Dynasty At that time, dozens of kings with the same surname had already been entrusted. 】

[But in this way, another extreme has been formed, that is, the power of the king with the same surname is too great, no matter whether it is a king with a different surname or a king with the same surname, as long as the power is too large, it will inevitably cause the country to split, so Sima Yan wants to rely on the ministers to come Against the king of the same surname. 】

[Thus, after Sima Yan died, Sima Zhong became the new emperor of Jin. 】

[After Sima Zhong formally ascended the throne, because he was unable to take charge, Taifu Yang Jun assisted the government. Later, Queen Jananfeng murdered Yang Jun's family and took actual power. 】

[Since then, Sima Zhong began his ridiculous life. 】

[Who can tell if Sima Zhong is an idiot emperor, is he really an idiot, or pretending to be an idiot? 】

[Once, Sima Zhong heard a toad barking while walking in the imperial garden, and asked his left and right: "Is it barking for the official family? Or for the private family?"]

[The attendants did not dare to answer such ridiculous questions. One of the attendants thought very quickly and replied, "In the official land, you are called an official. In private, you are called an official." private."】

[On the surface, Sima Zhong is indeed an idiot, but in reality? 】

[Since Sima Zhong succeeded to the throne, the queen "Menji Sichen" has controlled the power of the court and the family has also made trouble. 】

[Since Jia Hou killed Sima Wei, king of Chu, in the first year of Yuankang and became arbitrary, the Western Jin Dynasty began a decade-long period of Jia Hou's dictatorship. The imperial family and the gentry group, relying on the power of the Jia family and her in-laws group, started her dictatorship of foreign relatives. 】

[Zhang Hua, who made great contributions to killing Sima Wei, was entrusted with the important task of serving as the supervisor of the Zhongshu, and he was in charge of the secrets with the Zhongshu Ling Pei Kai and Situ Wangrong. 】

[Except for Zhang Hua who had no relationship with him by marriage, the two families of King Pei were both relatives of the Jia family. The Pei family of Hedong and the Wang family of Langya were quite influential families at that time. 】

[Pei Kai, Pei Wei, Wang Rong, Wang Yan, Zhang Hua and other queen parties made a lot of efforts to stabilize the situation and consolidate the rule. In the following seven or eight years, the situation in the Jin Dynasty was basically calm. 】

[Sima Zhong was very dissatisfied when he saw Jananfeng's monopoly, but he was unable to change the status quo, so he was depressed and worried. 】

[Sima Zhong always gets angry when he thinks of Jananfeng's rooster, Sichen. At the same time, the courtiers are arguing in the court hall all day long. The reasons are all high-sounding. In fact, they are all for the interests of their own small group or even self-interest. They are really for the country and society. There are very few ministers in the DPRK and China who are considering it. 】

[When I was thinking about this question today, I was disturbed by the sound of toads outside the courtyard wall, so I asked casually, meaning whether they are for the court or private? 】

[From this, it can be seen that Sima Zhong's stupidity may not be the stupidity in the secular world. 】

[There will be another year of famine, extremely drought, and no harvest in the fields, causing the common people to have nothing to eat. In order to survive, they can only eat grass roots and Guanyin soil, and many people will starve to death alive. 】

[Then the minister of the court reported the situation to Sima Zhong, and Sima Zhong was very stupid and innocent and said: "The common people have nothing to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge?"]

[Sima Zhong was established as the prince when he was nine years old, and he has basically never left the palace since he was a child, so he grew up in an environment full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and all he could see was prosperity and luxury. 】

[He is in a country that has been autocratic for more than 600 years. In order to protect his own interests, he wants to limit the imperial power. The best way to do this is to let the emperor become himself in a illusory world. puppet. 】

[And Sima Zhong grew up in such an environment, the courtyard was full of beauties, the river was filled with fine wine, and the mountains and plains were full of delicacies. He had no idea why someone would starve to death by the roadside. Have not seen either. 】

[So whether Sima Zhong is really an idiot, no one knows. 】

[However, under his rule, the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Five Husbands appeared in China, especially the latter, which is a tragic past that the children of China cannot let go of. 】

[Therefore, it is appropriate for him to be ranked among the faint kings. 】

[Next, the Eight Kings' Rebellion and the Five Husbands will be brought. 】

[All emperors please watch patiently. 】

Seeing this, the First Emperor Yingzheng was puzzled.

"After watching the video about Sima Zhong, I have a different view of him."

"Sima Yan should be a normal emperor. He has so many heirs. Why did he choose Sima Zhong as emperor?"

"For Sima Yan's assessment, Sima Zhong, with the help of Jananfeng, memorized the answers in advance and passed the test."

"However, for a person like Sima Yan, can he really not tell if Sima Zhong has a problem with his intelligence?"

"I don't take it very well."

The First Emperor Yingzheng naturally didn't just look at the surface.

"I actually think that Sima Zhong is not a fool with intellectual problems."

"He should also know the ways of the world, and he also knows the good and evil of loyalty, treachery, and evil. Maybe he is not too smart and too weak. Facing other relatives and clans, facing Jananfeng, he is no match for these wolf-like political enemies. So I can only pretend to be an idiot."

"I don't know if I'm right or not."

"However, since the Immortal put him among the faint kings, there must be a reason, and I don't know what Wuhuluanhua is talking about?"

"I'm looking forward to it."

Datang.

When Tang Taizong Li Shimin saw this, his thought was the same as that of the first emperor.

"I am very familiar with this Sima Zhong."

"But in my opinion, he doesn't look like an idiot, but rather pretends to be that way, just to deceive others."

"It's a pity that Sima Zhong doesn't have any real power. Like Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, as an emperor, he doesn't have the power that an emperor should have. What kind of pain is this?"

"It's okay for him to be on the list, after all, that tragic past..."

"Hey!"

"I hope there will be no such tragedy in Huaxia in the future."

ps: Do you think Sima Zhong is an idiot?Real or fake.
