Chapter 75
"When you see this, do you feel a long sigh of relief, that the governance of the country is okay, and the political power is stable?"

Fusu: This Sima Rui is indeed better than the previous two emperors. This stabilized a large number of people who migrated to the south, and some measures for the Tu people can be regarded as stabilizing the chaos.

Liu Che: Haha!Shihuang, your son has to learn more about governing the country, and you can't just look at things on the surface.

Qin Shihuang: This large number of southward relocations, let alone the placement and distribution of the people, the field is definitely a big mess. Besides, Sima Rui has appointed so many officials from aristocratic families. The court is not what Sima Rui said. At that time, the internal regime should not be stable!Coupled with the fact that the group from the north also moved south, it will be a matter of time before the Eastern Jin Dynasty becomes chaotic again, and it depends on what the emperor will do next.

Qin Shihuang: Fusu has never experienced these chaotic times. No matter how much knowledge you learn, you can still practice the truth. Now that Daqin has me around, it can’t be chaotic. You still need to experience a few more years.

Yang Jian: The First Emperor’s analysis is good. The characteristic of the Eastern Jin Dynasty from beginning to end was clan politics. The Sima family and the gentry family were almost in a co-prosperous and symbiotic relationship. Without the support of the gentry, the country would lose its generals and the emperor would lose his status.

Li Shimin: If the Eastern Jin Dynasty strives for strength, it will not be broken down like this.

Kangxi: I think anyone can be Qin Shihuang!It's a pity that the Eastern Jin Dynasty is useless!

"Emperors are right in saying that, sitting on an equal footing with the gentry, the high seat is bound to be unstable, and there are indeed ambitions of other gentry to fight for power."

"At the beginning, it was "the king and the horse share the world", and then the Xie, Yu, and Huan families appeared one after another."

"These four powerful families controlled the political situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and allowed the four great families to control the government. There have been many powerful officials such as Wang Dao, Yu Liang, Xie An, Huan Wen, and Huan Xuan."

"In the face of powerful ministers, most of the Eastern Jin emperors had no choice but to defend. There was also a comparison of strengths, which kept the Sima family in a weak position of imperial power."

"This has always caused a contradiction in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, the contradiction between the royal family and the clan. This contradiction ebbs and flows, making the political situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty repeated."

"When the emperor is willing to share power, the relationship between the clan and the royal family will be good, and the country will be stable. When the emperor is unwilling to share power, the relationship between the clan and the royal family will be poor, and the country will be in turmoil."

"The emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, apart from Sima Rui, the founder of the country, were mostly mediocre people, so there was less possibility of being able to restore the decline and monopolize power. This made the Eastern Jin Dynasty have a characteristic that almost no previous dynasties had. relatively democratic."

"The emperor of that dynasty didn't want to promote his own people to be officials. How many aristocratic families had the power to be replaced by his own people. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was no such thing as people being able to be officials. All the officials were from aristocratic families."

"Because people's desires are endless, and the power of the family is getting bigger and bigger, so the ambition is not just to control the power in your hands."

"Not only during several Northern Expeditions, some people became more ambitious. In 401 AD, Huan Xuan led his troops on an expedition. In the name of fighting against rebellion, he, who already owned the wealthy land of Jingzhou, further expanded his power and became one-third of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The real power faction of the Second Territory."

"What should one do with strength? The answer is to let the Sima family go. Unconcealable ambition, after the continuous political struggle, has become a deadly state!"

"Afterwards, Huanxuan led troops into Jiankang City, killed Sima Daozi and Sima Yuanxian and other clan children, and then blatantly abolished the throne of Emperor Jin'an, transformed himself into the emperor and established the Huanchu regime."

"In this way, the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished for the first time. It was destroyed by the decline of the three major clans of Wang, Xie, and Yu, and the dominance of the Huan clan. This is the loss of control of the dynamic balance. Without the support and cross checks and balances of the aristocratic families, the so-called imperial power also It's just fish on a chopping board."

"What is the basis of his Huan clan?"

Cao Cao: It’s because the Sima family gave me great power. With such great power, why wouldn’t I dare to usurp the throne with some tricks?

Li Shimin: Right is also a point, but it was because of the famine at that time, you let these aristocratic families fight among themselves, and when the world is in chaos, they will panic, not to mention the position, these aristocratic families can't get out much Years will fall.

"Indeed, as the two of you said, this Huan family's rise to the top position is generally due to the fact that the rights are sufficient, the opportunities are good enough, and the opponent is too weak."

"The rights must have been given by the Sima family. This opportunity was indeed due to the famine. Before the Huan family came to power, Sun En and Lu Xun revolted in the Northern Expedition, which made everyone in the Jin Dynasty feel in danger, agricultural production came to a standstill, and the whole country was in trouble. Famine breaks out.”

"This makes the wealthy family who have little ability and can do nothing but fight within themselves upset. They have no way to alleviate this situation and cannot maintain their status. Apart from protecting themselves at home and being a stable apartment tenant, they lack the strength. Sure enough, they have no intention of competing with Huan Xuan for the throne."

"This makes Huan Xuan, a man whose only advantage is a large enough territory and enough soldiers, become the temporary emperor."

Qin Shihuang: The word "temporarily" is wonderfully used!

"As Emperor Taizong of Tang said, even if the gentry ascended to that position, they would not do their job properly, do not deal with their business, and would not be able to do without a little brain."

"Like some emperors, after Huanxuan usurped the throne, he didn't think about how to make great efforts to govern. Instead, he was extravagant and extravagant, hunting without morals."

"My favorite thing to do is to play all night long. Even when my elder brother Huan Wei passed away, he would go out to play at night after weeping in the daytime. This is not only contrary to human relations, Nor is it the way of the king."

"Such a person is undoubtedly lying when dealing with family and country affairs, and has made many former Beifu Army generals dissatisfied. The most ambitious among them, and the one who is most likely to cause Hengxuan's defeat anyway, is Liu Yu."

"Liu Yu, who was born in a poor family, although his family background is not good, his career progress is a little behind in the era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty dominated by powerful families. However, it is also because of this birth, as well as the backward rise and the injustice he encountered, let him understand There is a reason."

"The powerful families, after being pampered and pampered for many years, are rotten. Their rule looks stable, but in fact it is just a castle in the water. If they really want to appeal to the world, they will be broken at a touch."

"In addition to this, Liu Yu has another advantage. Although he was born into a poor family, his ancestors are also rich. He is a descendant of Liu Bang's younger brother, Chu King Liu Jiao. When he followed the Western Jin Dynasty clan to the south, he belonged to the lowest class of nobles. This birth It gives him the possibility of rebellion."

Liu Bang: I didn't expect this situation, my Liu family can turn against it!This is the Western Jin Dynasty and let my Liu family take it back?

"This Liu Yu is not only good at fighting, but also patient enough. Coupled with the help of the common people, it can be said that the right time, place and people are in harmony!"
