The crackdown began in Xuzhou. Huan Wen is the secretariat of Xuzhou. When he died, Xuzhou secretariat was not a member of the Huan family, but was replaced by Wang.
, Tan Zhi, Xie An * * * assisted the young master, moved to the secretariat, and led Danyang Yin. Russia awarded Xu Yanqing military, commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms, commander of the Northern Army, and secretariat of Yan Xu in Guangling Town. -The Book of Jin Volume 75, Biography 45
If the Huan family is United with the outside world, whether it is the royal family or not, they dare not provoke the Huan family easily, or even dare to disrespect Huan's opinion when choosing a new Xuzhou secretariat, that is to find themselves uncomfortable. However, this time is different. After the infighting, Huan's power has begun to shrink obviously.
According to historical records, Huan Chong was very generous. Instead of complaining, he expressed his willingness to give up more power. In the face of Huan Chong's atmospheric behavior, aristocratic men and the royal family cheered.
This is of course a fact, but it is only a superficial fact. If we can look at history from the perspective of game theory, we should understand a truth: under the surface of happiness, there is usually a life-and-death struggle.
Does Huan Chong hate Wang and Xie An? Of course I hate it. These two people don't eat well, and Huan's family is weak because they are important promoters.
But Huan Chong never dared to get rid of Wang He and Xie An, because killing people is easy to deal with. As early as when Huan Wen was seriously ill, Huan Chong asked Huan Wen what to do with Xie Wang. After Huan Wen's death, members of Huan also asked Huan Chong to get rid of Wang He and Xie An.
But Huan Wen asked Huan Chong to keep calm. After careful consideration, Huan Chong still felt that his brother's statement was right.
At the beginning, I asked Wen to accept the orders of Xie An and Wang, and Wen said, "I won't punish you." . -"Book of Jin" Volume 98, "Biography" Volume 68
Huan Wen didn't dare to kill Wang He and Xie An, because he was afraid of causing civil strife in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the end, he made a profit in the former Qin Dynasty.
Huan Chong didn't dare to kill Xie Wang, so he should have similar concerns. But Huan Chong forgot one thing. The argument in court was about imposing manner. Although Huan Wen did not dare to kill Xie Wang, he led his troops to Yangzhou, proving to Xie Wang that he was not easy to handle.
But Huan Chong didn't have the courage. Facing Xie Wang's attack, he chickened out. According to my understanding, Huan Chong should be trying to divide the royal family and Xie Wang and other aristocratic gentry with his loyalty to Sima's royal family, so that the three parties can form a new balance.
Xie Wang seemed to anticipate Huan Chong's reaction, so Xie An strongly invited the Queen Mother Chu Garlic to listen to politics, and the two sides launched a new round of game around the royal family.
The Queen Mother wrote: "Unfortunately, difficulties still exist for the royal family. Looking at the notice in the province, I feel even more sad. The lords at home and abroad, with their admiration for wealth in the Spring and Autumn Period, failed to see it with their own eyes, so the order should be just. If you can live in peace and benefit the world, you can't cling to it, you need to respect it. However, in the dark, I hope to do my best. " So the queen mother returned to Korea. -"Book of Jin" Volume 32, Pass 2
Xie An this recruit is very severe, because Huan Chong is Yangzhou secretariat. But because the central government of the Eastern Jin Empire was in Yangzhou, it was the place where the rich gentry gathered. The present situation is that the Queen Mother Chu Suanzi listens to politics, Wang Biao and Xie An participate in politics, and Chu Suanzi is Xie An's cousin. In this case, it is necessary to put a question mark on the weight of Yangzhou secretariat Huan Chong.
About a year later, the king of Xuzhou secretariat died of illness. Huan Chong got the news and immediately decided to go to Xuzhou as a secretariat. So Huan Chong found Xie An, hoping to resign as Yangzhou secretariat.
I fully understand Huan Chong's psychology. This place in Yangzhou is a standard "water depth is the tortoise". Huan Chong's secretariat here must be under control everywhere. However, Huan Chong neglected one point: Although Yangzhou secretariat was limited everywhere, it was the only foothold of the Huan family in the central government of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. With the position of Xuzhou secretariat, Huan family can be completely excluded from the central government, and Xie An and others will not lose anything in this business.
Huan's men also have wise men. Everyone thought that the deal was a big loss, so he immediately advised Huan Chong not to do so. But Huan Chong has made up his mind to go to Xuzhou for further development.
Xie An took the opportunity to help politics and was returned by everyone. He was afraid and forced. Three years later, in Kangning, he was dismissed from Yangzhou and begged to go out. It is a bitter admonition to abandon the party and think that it is not a plan, and Kuaichao will stop it. I don't accept haste, but I feel at ease. I don't think I hate it. I am sincere and considerate, and I try my best. -The Book of Jin Volume 74, Biography 44
I lost Xuzhou first, and then traded Yangzhou for Xuzhou. I still have Jingzhou and Yuzhou. On the surface, Huan family seems to have the power of World War I, but Xie Wang and other aristocratic gentry did not give up suppressing Huan family.
Wang Xie and other nobles joined hands with the royal family again, strengthening the military and political status of the ruler Wang Yun. Wang Yun, from the royal family in Taiyuan, is very influential. Now that he got the support of the imperial court, he immediately began to rush out of Huan.
Xie An said, Yun said, "Your father is the most important, so don't underestimate yourself. In case of failure, you should rely on the story of Gong Chu, but it doesn't matter if you are in power. You can temporarily hold this position to dissolve the national marriage. " So I was ordered to come to Jingkou. -"Book of Jin" Volume 93, "Biography" Volume 63
Yun3 aggressive, Huan Chong xuzhou secretariat on pins and needles. After a year or so, he lost his position as the secretariat of Xuzhou.
At this critical juncture, the Jingzhou secretariat Huan Huo died. He is Huan Chong's brother and one of the important representatives of Huan's family. Headed by the gentry, they finally succeeded in pushing the Huan family into Jingzhou.
In the eyes of the gentry and the royal family, the influence of the Huan family must be confined to Jingzhou, and Jiangzhou can be ceded to them when necessary, but Yangzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou must be ceded. These three States are in the east of the Eastern Jin Empire, and Jingzhou and Jiangzhou are in the west of the Eastern Jin Empire.
Everyone must have a question: Huan Chong is willing to support the royal family. Why did the royal family ignore Huan Chong's kindness and suppress Huan's family wholeheartedly instead?
Apart from the huge military and political resources left by Huan Wen, the royal family felt insecure for no other reason. Only by greatly weakening the Huan family can the Eastern Jin Empire re-form a balanced pattern.
Under the new balance pattern, Huan family is still one of the most important giants in the Eastern Jin Empire, but they have lost the power to threaten the imperial power. The gentry, led by them, finally stopped suppressing Huan's family because they didn't dare to force Huan's family too much.
Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry. Now there is only one Jingzhou left in the Huan family, and there is no retreat. If we have to force them to hand over Jingzhou, who can guarantee that they will not directly rebel? By that time, wouldn't the Eastern Jin Empire still be at war?
The former Qin empire was eyeing up in the north. If Fu Jian saw this scene, he would wake up laughing when he fell asleep at night.
Moreover, neither Huan Chong nor Xie An has Huan Wen's ambition. After they quarreled to a certain extent, they decided to put aside their differences. After the dust settles, everyone has to live, right?
Huan Chong let bygones be bygones, Xie An didn't go too far, but Huan's people can't forget this shame.
When Huan Chong left Yangzhou for the secretariat, all the officials in Yangzhou bid farewell to Huan Chong, except one child who hid his face and wept.
At the age of seven, I finally resigned from my uncle and stroked Xuan's head and said, "This is why your family is an official." Xuan's face was covered with tears, and everyone was different. -The Book of Jin (99) and Biography (69)
It was 375 AD, and the child was only seven years old. But I believe he is very sensible. He knows what his family has lost and why he is crying.
The shadow of childhood is the most difficult to erase. The morning when he hid his face and cried may have become a nightmare for teenagers.
In the first round, Huan Wen pressed the entire Eastern Jin Empire to the ground; In the second round, the whole Eastern Jin Empire joined forces and pressed Huan's family to the ground.
When I grow up, let's start the third round and fight it out!
