Chapter 556 Sima Shao: Heaven Does Not Bless Jin
At this moment, Sima Rui felt dizzy and his vision blurred. He had actually been angered to death by Wang Dun!
But then I thought, given Wang Dun's fate after his death, it's hard to say who will suffer more!
At least his son isn't a bad guy, which is a kind of revenge for him!
Others from before the Jin Dynasty were quite speechless at the Eastern Jin Dynasty's internal strife, wondering why it was still in turmoil at this time of year!
Why, with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang as a role model, do some still emulate Sima Yi and commit treason?!
Wang Dun: Don't ask, the only thing is the pleasure that power brings, you don't know!
……
"By the way, Sima Shao is the Jin Emperor Ming, whom we mentioned before, who asked how his family's empire was built, only to be betrayed and have his loyalty betrayed."
The people of Wanchao: What is this called! Our ancestors couldn't even present this!
"But this guy, to be precise, was a rare wise ruler in terms of the quality of the emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It's just a pity that God didn't give him much time."
"That being said, although Wang Dun's forces have been quelled, this does not mean that the Eastern Jin Dynasty can proceed smoothly and focus on a northern expedition."
"Because soon, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would fall into another period of turmoil, known in history as the Su Jun Rebellion."
"As we've said before, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had nothing else to offer but the dominance of powerful clans. So, before the Su Jun Rebellion broke out, Emperor Ming of Jin faced a number of problems."
"For example, the powerful clans led by the Wang brothers, the refugee army led by Su Jun who contributed greatly to the Wang Dun Rebellion, etc., in short, none of them were easy to deal with."
"Sima Shao did not take advantage of Wang Dun's rebellion to purge the Wang family's supporters, nor did he carry out a major military reshuffle, appointing Wen Qiao, Yu Liang, Su Jun, and others to eliminate the Langya Wang family, occupy various prefectures, and create an unbalanced situation where the imperial power was weak."
"Sima Shao implemented this system of checks and balances to strengthen centralized power."
"The reason is simple: this is an old problem of the Jin Dynasty. Their ancestors usurped the throne, and from then on, powerful clans became a problem for the Jin Dynasty!"
The Sima family members: Just keep it to yourselves, don't keep bringing it up!
Meanwhile, the powerful families and clans of various times and spaces all had a vague sense of unease.
Ostensibly referring to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, His Majesty's recent gaze has not been very friendly!
What's going on now? It's all because of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so it's all their fault?!
"In addition, in order to suppress the Langya Wang clan, Sima Shao supported another force, namely the Yingchuan Yu clan."
"This is standard practice. At that time, the Yu family of Yingchuan had a daughter, Yu Wenjun, who married Sima Shao, making them relatives of the emperor."
"At this time, Sima Shao was only in his early twenties, the most successful time of his life, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty also welcomed an emperor who was the most outstanding among the remaining Sima family."
"It seemed that life had a future to look forward to. However, the Jin Dynasty was still a bit unlucky and failed to prosper because Emperor Ming of Jin was dying soon after."
"In August of 325 AD, Sima Shao fell seriously ill and could not get out of bed. What happened next was closely related to the Yu family of Yingchuan. As the second aristocratic family that had been supported, they certainly did not want to stop there, especially Yu Liang, the brother of Yu Wenjun."
"Let me briefly introduce Yu Liang. He was a famous scholar during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said that he was very handsome and had a beautiful appearance."
"People praised him as a fine jade in a bountiful year, but when he was about to be buried, He Chong was very sad and sighed, 'Who can accept a jade tree being buried in the earth?'"
Wan Chao's crowd: 0.o That's an exaggeration!!!
