Finally, the Sima family created a system of civil strife and rampant clans in the royal family. I think the biggest problem of the Sima family is that they still failed to balance the domestic political system at that time. The biggest problem in the pre-Qin Dynasty was that the powerful ministers were too powerful, which led Zhao Gao to directly ignore the emperor, thus causing chaos in the world.
The main problem in the Han Dynasty was that both the relatives and the eunuchs were too powerful. The relatives actually represented the empress dowager's family, and most of the eunuch's behavior was a shield for the emperor. And because the struggle between the two sides was too fierce, not only did Following the precedent of his cousin Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty, the subsequent demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty was actually due to internal fighting between Shi Changshi and his nephew He Jin. There was one reason for this.
However, these were not as serious as the civil strife among the royal family of the Sima family. The most famous one is the Eight Kings Rebellion. The entire social atmosphere has deteriorated. After the Sima family came to power, the aristocratic family directly monopolized all the wealth in the society, and the gap between the rich and the poor in this society became extremely wide.
At that time, when the upper class nobles began to compete for wealth, the people at the bottom might not even be able to eat. As the largest family at the time, the Sima family was even more arrogant and extravagant. To put it bluntly, the people at the bottom of this period could not see any hope. Everything was determined by birth, and the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
After the Western Jin Dynasty experienced the Eight Kings Rebellion, its national power suffered heavy losses, and it was finally destroyed by the Xiongnu. Taking advantage of the chaos in the world, many Hu tribes from the northern and western regions invaded the Central Plains on a large scale. Wherever they went, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. They called women two-legged sheep. They raped the robbed women at night and killed them for meat during the day. It is known in history as the "Five Chariots in China". The Five Husbands’ chaos in China was a catastrophe and suffering for the Chinese nation.
Historical documents describe the situation at that time as follows: Hengdai went to the north, and all was Qiu Ruins; Kotong went to the west, and the fireworks were cut off. Qi Fang and all Zhao died in chaos, so the people's livelihood was reduced by more than half. In that kind of environment, "everyone can eat each other", "bones are everywhere", "there is no smoke in a thousand miles, and there are no people with crowns and belts in China". The struggle for power among the ruling class, coupled with the brutal exploitation of the people, caused "all the people to be displaced, all the towns to be desolated, and robberies and robberies arose in droves, and thefts were committed." It is always the common people who suffer
Under the barbaric rule of the Hu people, only four to five million Han people in the north were massacred, resulting in a serious reduction in the population of Huaxia; in order to avoid the massacre, the remaining Han people built cities to defend themselves against the Hu people."
"Do you think that today's Yong'an, if you contact the immortals and gods hidden behind it, is very similar to what I said before." Ye Feng concluded lightly.
Ye Feng paused for a moment, then continued: "I don't like immortals, but that doesn't mean that I have the idea of killing all the immortals in the world, but only the one behind Ying Hao, I will kill him."
. . .
On the way back, Ye Feng said softly: "Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell Ying Hao, which is the meaning of the crown. The crown does make the person who wears it superior to others and is a symbol of status. But the true meaning of the crown is : When disaster falls from the sky, I will resist everything for you and let you see golden hope. But it seems that he can no longer listen to what I say."
After a while, Ren Xiaojin asked Ye Feng, "Feng, where is your crown?"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "I don't like the crown. In comparison, I prefer the bamboo hat I have at the moment, because it can not only protect me from wind and rain, but also"
As he spoke, Ye Feng took off the bamboo hat and put it on Ren Xiaojin's head. "And what I like more about it is that it can also protect the people I like from wind and rain."
Ye Feng handed the horse's reins to Ren Xiaojin, "Don't you want to try it?"
Ren Xiaojin smiled and said, "Did you find out?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "I know about you."
. . .
He looked at the carriage that had overturned in the ditch and the horses that had long since disappeared. Ren Xiaojin blushed. Because she was having too much fun, she ditched the carriage inside.
When the fat man wanted to say a few words, he was stuffed with steamed buns that Ye Feng took out from nowhere. After all, Ye Feng is Ren Xiaojin’s royal cook, so it’s normal to bring some food.
Ye Feng smiled at this moment and said: "I think everyone is a little tired from sitting, so it would be good to come down for a walk. Fatty also needs to come down for a walk to eat."
Hearing this, Ren Xiaojin's face turned even redder.
. . .
In the Lingyan Pavilion after the banquet, in a secret room, Xu Xin, or Xu Xin possessed by the Sword Immortal named Sima, was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the middle, while Ying Haoci was at the bottom.
Sword Immortal said: "The guy you begged me to test is the kind of ant named Ye Feng?"
Ying Hao said respectfully: "Yes, he really only has the ninth level of body training. Can he have the cultivation level of Ying Zang?"
The sword immortal said coldly: "You are saying that I, a true immortal, will be deceived by a mortal without spiritual roots. You underestimate the immortal. Maybe he has some means to increase his strength in a short time and reach a state similar to pseudo-qi training. But it is impossible to reach the level of foundation building, because the spiritual root is the foundation of everything. Without spiritual roots, it will be just a pile of bones. This is the law of nature."
The narrator said: You underestimate human beings too much
"Yes" Ying Hao whispered
"This person is nothing special, so stop being suspicious. The plan is proceeding normally, and I will take you to the upper world when the time comes." The Sword Immortal looked at Ying Hao indifferently, this ant with overwhelming power in the human world.
Then Xu Xin, who was originally a woman as beautiful as flowers and jade, suddenly withered and aged, her hair began to turn gray, and wrinkles appeared everywhere.
"It's really a useless body. It can't bear even one ten thousandth of my strength. Otherwise, the person at the banquet would have died just now." With the angry complaints, the sword fairy's soul gradually disappeared until it finally disappeared completely.
After a long time, Ying Hao said coldly, as if he was saying to himself, "You think everyone in the world is an ant, so why am I not an ant in your eyes?"
Ying Hao's eyes slowly revealed murderous intent and coldness.
As for Ye Feng's question, although the sword immortal said so, he still had doubts in his heart. After all, he didn’t fully trust the Sword Immortal. After all, he hadn’t even told the Sword Immortal what his name was. The reason was very simple. There was no need for him to name the ant.
. . .
In the pseudo-immortal realm, Linglong studied with Yan Ling for most of the day, and Yan Ling discovered that Linglong was actually very smart. She can learn everything she teaches quickly, and she can be described as extremely talented.
In the end, Yan Ling asked Linglong strangely, "Sister Linglong, why are you so smart, but you still pretend to be a stupid scumbag?"
"Aunt Ling, it's a bit rude of me to say that. Besides, Aunt Ling, don't you know that teachers must put more energy into poor students than top students?"
"..." Yan Ling said silently. Fortunately, Ye Feng is not here. If he hears this, he will definitely beat you up.
