Biography of Huan Wen in the Book of Jin: Because he was defeated every time and lost his reputation, he joined the army and entered the plan to abolish the emperor. Literature abolishes emperor Li. According to Zhuge Liang's story, one hundred people entered the temple and gave fifty million yuan, twenty thousand silks and one hundred thousand cloths.
Now, due to the capsizing failure, his reputation and strength have been weakened, so Chi Chao, who joined the army, presented Huan Wen with a plan to abolish the emperor. Huan Wen abolished the throne of Sima Yi, the fifth emperor of Jin Dynasty, and made Sima Yi, the Jian Wendi of Jin State, the emperor. Then the Eastern Jin court gave Huan Wen an imperial edict. The content of the imperial edict is: Please ask Huan Wen to give1000 soldiers the treatment of going to the temple according to the story of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han Dynasty, and at the same time give them 50 million yuan, 20,000 silks and100000 cloths.
What kind of person is Huan Wen? Personally, I think Huan Wen is a person who is very similar to Cao Cao. Huan Wen was born into a noble family, named Huan. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, his family began to rise. Huan Fan, an old farmer who advised Cao Shuang to fight Sima Yi in Luoyang, was the ancestor of Huan Wen in the coup of Gao Ping Ling. Unfortunately, he was killed by mistake In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the status of Huan family began to rise.
Huan Wen 15 years old, his father Huan Yi was killed. Huan Wen dared to avenge his father at an early age and killed him. Later, she married the princess, inherited her father's title and official position, and began to work in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Huan Wen is famous for being the secretariat of Xuzhou and Jingzhou, commanding the armies of six countries and pacifying the regime of Shu and Han Cheng.
After three northern expeditions, Huan Wen gradually controlled the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Except for the first northern expedition to recover Luoyang, the other two northern expeditions failed. In his later years, Huan Wen began to monopolize power and did a very important political event: abolishing the emperor.
Huan Wen abolished Sima Yi, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as the king of the East China Sea and made Sima Yi, the king of Huiji, the emperor. Sima Yu was a native of Jin, also known as Emperor Jin Yuan. At this time, Emperor Sima Yu, who had just acceded to the throne, gave Huan Wen an imperial edict, the content of which has been mentioned above.
What was the purpose of Sima Yi's imperial edict to Huan Wen?
Obviously, I want Huan Wen to learn from Zhuge Liang and be a loyal minister, because Zhuge Liang's image in history is a loyal minister, and Huan Wen did something to abolish the emperor, but Zhuge Liang didn't. There are many powerful ministers who abolished the emperor in history, such as Huo Guang and Huo Guang, who were badly scolded in later generations. Although Huo Guang did not usurp the throne, it was a kind of rebellion in the feudal regime of China ruled by Confucianism, and there was no reason at all.
But Zhuge Liang is different. Although Zhuge Liang had great power in Shu Han, everything he did was for the Shu Han regime and the emperor, not for himself. In terms of status, Zhuge Liang is the prime minister and Yizhou shepherd, and the boss of all Shu and Han officials, but Zhuge Liang does not hold power. As far as wealth is concerned, all the property declared by Zhuge Liang to Liu Chan before his death is: 800 mulberry trees, wasteland 15 hectares, which is equivalent to the level of ordinary middle peasants.
On power, Zhuge Liang's power at that time was to abolish the emperor, but he did not, neither abolished the emperor nor inherited the power, but returned the power to the court. Unlike Huan Wen, he inherited power to his family and son. Later, Huan Xuan, the son of Huan Wen, replaced the Eastern Jin Dynasty to establish the Huanchu regime. Isn't this similar to Cao Cao?
Cao Cao laid a solid foundation for himself and then paved the way for usurping the throne. Cao Cao added nine tin before his death and was named Wang Wei. The so-called "Nine Tin" refers to nine items, representing the highest etiquette treatment and the highest courtesy given by the emperor to the princes. Nine tin is: horses and chariots, clothes, Lexian, Hu, Nabi, samurai, axe, bow and arrow.
In his later years, Huan Wen urged the Eastern Jin court to add nine tin to him. However, due to various reasons, it has not been realized. During the reign of Jin Emperor Sima Yi, he was also very worried that Huan Wen would be abolished again. So the imperial edict given to Huan Wen was to persuade Huan Wen to learn from Zhuge Liang and be a loyal minister. If Zhuge Liang had wild desires, it would be impossible to persuade Huan Wen to be a usurper.
At that time, Li Yan once persuaded Zhuge Liang to add Jiu Xi and become king. Zhuge Liang said: As long as the Northern Expedition is successful, ten tin can be added, not to mention nine tin. Some people use this to explain that Zhuge Liang will usurp the throne and seize power after the success of the Northern Expedition, but you can't prove that Zhuge Liang had such an idea without it. Zhuge Liang said this just to refute Li Yan's statement. Zhuge Liang's life proved that he was an aboveboard loyal minister.
Of course, if the Book of Jin is correct, it should be true that Zhuge Liang was carrying 100 guards in the court of Shu Han. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, before Zhuge Liang launched the war to pacify South China in 225 AD, Emperor Liu Chan gave Zhuge Liang some articles and powers, namely, a gold cymbal, a curved cover, a front and back feather and a back.
Cymbals gave Zhuge Liang the power of life and death when he went out to war. Zhuge Liang fights in peacetime and wartime, and he must have the power to kill the enemy generals. This is a kind of power given by the ancient monarch to the generals who went to war. The samurai guards given by Liu Chan are equivalent to the private guards provided by the state to protect Zhuge Liang's safety, so Zhuge Liang will certainly bring them when he goes to court, but Liu Chan only gave Zhuge Liang 60 tigers.
Whether it is 60 people or 100 people, this is the guard assigned to Zhuge Liang by the Shuhan court. Zhuge Liang's entry into the court is understandable, but these guards can't enter the court with swords, so they can only wait under the main hall. Zhuge Liang's ostentation and extravagance looks huge, but this is not a proof that Zhuge Liang is good at power, but a kind of etiquette.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was taken as an example to persuade Huan Wen to take Zhuge Liang as a positive teaching material. Liu Chan's tolerance for Zhuge Liang to bring hundreds of guards into the DPRK is a kind of treatment given to Zhuge Liang by Liu Chan, which is acceptable to the court. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is the positive teaching material in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty can tolerate Huan Wen taking hundreds of guards into the DPRK, but absolutely can't tolerate Huan Wen's patents like Cao Cao and Sima Yi, paving the way for future generations to usurp the throne.
But Huan Wen is not Zhuge Liang, and what he does is far less than Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is recognized as a loyal minister through the ages and a moral model recognized by many feudal dynasties, which Huan Wen can't compare with. Therefore, it is recorded in the Book of Jin that Zhuge Liang took hundreds of guards to court, which is not only evidence of Zhuge Liang's autocracy, but also proof that Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister, otherwise it will not be used as a positive teaching material.
