What funny but true things happened in the ancient history of China?

There are many such historical events. Today I'm going to talk about Sima Zhong, the absurd Jin emperor.

Sima Zhong (65438+259-3071October 8) was born in Wenxian County, Hanoi County (now Wenxian County, Henan Province). The second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty (reigned from 290 to 307) was the second son of Jin Emperor Sima Yan, and his mother was Yang Yan, the queen of Wu Yuan.

The hero we are talking about today comes from a very good family. Sima Yan's youngest son, Sima Yan, was made Crown Prince in the third year after he ascended the throne. In the third year of Taishi (267), the book was Crown Prince. Taixi first year (290), officially acceded to the throne. As soon as he came to power, the rulers experienced decay, various natural and man-made disasters, and various infighting, and then the famous Eight Kings Rebellion occurred.

The story that happened to this man can be described as brilliant and has been laughed at by future generations for thousands of years.

Cheating to solve problems

Sima Zhong's IQ was low from a small age, and Sima Yan was very worried, fearing that Sima Zhong would lose the family business started by his ancestors. On one occasion, in order to test Sima Zhong's thinking ability, Sima Yan specially asked him several questions and gave him three days to hand in his papers. Sima Zhong didn't know how to answer the question. His wife Jia Nanfeng is a very clever person. Seeing this, she immediately invited several learned old gentlemen to solve problems for Sima Zhong.

After reading the answer sheet, Sima Yan felt that his son's thinking was still very clear, and he was relieved. However, when Sima Yan died and Sima Zhong ascended the throne, he made many jokes when he was asked to make his own decision. ?

Official toad

One summer, Sima Zhong and his entourage went to Hualin Park to play. They walked to a pond and heard frogs cooing inside. Sima Zhong felt very strange and asked the followers whether these things were official or folk. The waiter said: "What is the official family name, it is the official family; If it is called privately, it is private. "

Why not eat minced meat?

Another year of famine, people have no food, and people starve to death everywhere. Someone reported the situation to Sima Zhonghui, but Sima Zhong told reporters: "Why don't they eat meat porridge or eat?" The speaker was dumbfounded. The victim can't even eat rice. Where can they get porridge? This shows how stupid Sima Zhong is. ?

Blood in the servant's heart

On July 24th, the first year of Yongxing (304), Shi Chao's army was suddenly killed. Sima Zhong's army was defeated. Sima Zhong was injured in the face and was hit by three arrows. All the officials and guards fled. Only Ji Shao, wearing a wedding dress, dismounted and boarded Sima Zhong's chariot to defend the Emperor. Shi Chao police officers pulled Ji Shao to the well and put him down. Sima Zhong said, "This is a loyal minister. Don't kill him! " He replied, "I was ordered by Taidi (Sima Ying) not to invade your majesty alone." So he killed Ji Shao, and blood spilled on Sima Zhong's clothes. Sima Zhong lamented his death. When the war subsided, the attendants had to wash their royal clothes. Sima Zhong said, "This is the blood of the servants. Don't wash it away.

Among them, "Why not eat minced meat" is probably the most familiar!
