Chapter 517 Sima Lun: Father, please bless me!
"Let's see how Sima Lun felt when he received the news of the princes' uprising. It's said that he was shocked! So many brothers coming after him? Did they really think he was Dong Zhuo?"
"Afterwards, martial law was declared in the capital. Sima Lun and Sun Xiu immediately mobilized troops to resist. According to historical records such as the *Book of Jin*, the central government's military force at this time numbered approximately 100,000."
"Perhaps this will be the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. You have to remember that only twenty years have passed since the heroic Three Kingdoms period."
Lin Ke's words shocked and spurred despair among the people of the Jin Dynasty and earlier. The central government only had a little over 100,000 people; if they were wiped out in the War of the Eight Princes, then the government would cease to be a government...
"However, in the chaotic Western Jin Dynasty, a single coup led to a major purge. It was uncertain how long the remaining people could resist, especially since the various princes' armies were making a great show of force to kill Sima Lun. Who wouldn't be afraid in that situation?"
"However, I've discovered that some people, even when facing an enemy army, have rather peculiar thought processes. It's said that Sima Lun even sent people to the temple dedicated to Sima Yi, praying every day: 'Father, Father, please show your power and help me defeat the enemy.'"
Emperor Qinzong of Song, Zhao Huan: ??? ??? Listen to my advice, believe in science!
"If this thing were truly effective, wouldn't Emperor Qinzong's Six Jia Divine Soldiers have already defeated the Jin army?!"
"If you really need help, I suggest you go and pray at the Luo River. See how effective it is!"
"Maybe it will protect you, the son of an old friend, after seeing the oath your father swore before it!!!"
The others who heard this twitched at the corners of their mouths. If Luo Shui had any ulterior motives, it probably wouldn't be to take care of her, but to seek revenge!
Even Sima Yi himself, upon hearing this, would have cursed: "Godf*** your ancestors' blessing!"
If he had that ability, Zhuge Liang would have used it long ago when he sent him women's clothing! Why did he have to be outlived?
……
"After the decisive battle between the central army and the local army, Sima Lun and Sun Xiu were in a precarious situation, and as a result, another coup occurred in the Forbidden City, which had been quiet for several months."
“Sun Xiu and his accomplices were killed, leaving only Sima Lun as the commander without any troops. From the perspective of that time, the coups in the Western Jin Dynasty were in a stage of prioritizing quantity over quality.”
"In particular, the Three Kings Rebellion at that time resulted in 100,000 casualties. As for Sima Lun's fate, he was imprisoned in Jinyong City, just like his predecessors, and then sent to heaven with gold dust wine."
"Suddenly, I realized that the Western Jin Dynasty had a formula for carrying out coups, and even the time for reckoning after the extermination was done in a set way. This had become a tradition in the Western Jin Dynasty!"
"After the extermination of Sima Lun's faction, Sima Zhong returned to his post. Sima Jiong, the instigator of this uprising, was again granted the Nine Bestowments and appointed Grand Marshal."
"The same goes for Sima Ying. He was promoted to Grand General, given the Yellow Axe, and allowed to enter the palace with a sword and shoes. In short, he was given a lot of power. I really want to say: He dared to ask for it, and you really dared to give it to him!"
People in Wanchao: ? How many steps are involved in...usurping the throne? ? !
"There is also the third king, Sima Yong, the King of Hejian. This man is a fence-sitter. He originally supported Sima Lun, but when the situation became unfavorable, he switched his allegiance to Sima Jiong and the others. However, he was still counted in the reward ceremony."
Sima Yong: What's wrong with joining if we can't beat them?
"As for the others, although they haven't appeared yet, rest assured they'll be here very soon. Apart from Jia Nanfeng's few years of peace under her rule, who among them hasn't been eliminated in the first round?!"
"Next, it's Sima Jiong's turn to play the game of power. Although his father was known for his virtue from a young age, Sima Jiong, like Sima Lun, is hard to judge."
"First of all, after Sima Jiong was appointed Grand Marshal, he seized power and Sima Zhong became a figurehead. But his predecessors told him that powerful ministers could go a little too far, just like the Sima family assisted the Cao family back then!"
The Cao family: ?? ?………
"Thus, Sima Jiong became even more confident and arrogant! Even without the title of emperor, his actions fully demonstrated that he had long harbored the ambition to usurp the throne."
"For example, he engaged in large-scale construction projects, building mansions, and indulging in wine and women all day long, even neglecting to attend court."
"Of course, besides these, there were also bad habits such as nepotism and refusing to listen to good advice. So Sima Jiong's performance was seen by everyone at the time, and they cursed him in their hearts. Everyone was very disappointed."
Sima Jiong: The taste of desire is truly captivating!
