The Three Kingdoms are over, and Jin unified China.
However, the reign was so short that Jin was unavoidably destroyed by the Yongjia rebellion caused by the Xiongnu Liu Yuan, and the world of the Warring States called the Sixteen Kingdoms period began again.
Meanwhile, Sima Yi, a descendant of Sima Yi, fled to Gangnam, where he founded Eastern Jin.
This time, let's take a look at the people called "Mr. King of the King" who was the founding vassal of Eastern Jin and who held the real power of Eastern Jin.
“Wang Xiang”, the founder of Langya Commandery
Langya is a place name and is now called Shandong Province.
The clan called Mr. King of Langya begins with a person named Wang Xiang who lived in the Three Kingdoms.
A person named Wang Xiang was born around 184 when the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred, but it does not appear in the Three Kingdoms at all.
The reason is simple:Wang Xiang was in a secluded state while Gunyu was in control of Nakahara.
Surprisingly, there were many people called "notables" who were retired without appearing in the government world like Wang Xiang.
Zhuge Liang Komei and others would not have appeared without the courtesy of Liu Bei, and Sima Yi may have continued to hide without the recommendation of his Xun Yu.
Wang Xiang was born in the prestigious Han dynasty. He was a person who hated the conflict of consort kins and did not get a government office. Wang Xiang was also retired following that, but it is said that Wang Xiang's fame was still high.
At that time, celebrities called the Seiryu faction and the eunuch officials were in a fierce battle, and the officials suppressed the Seiryu faction, causing a "disasters of the partisan" as in history textbooks. It was the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion that was unraveled. Wang Xiang is known for his filial piety and is said to have been particularly well received among the clear school.
It can be said that Cao Cao was able to expand his power to that extent because he embraced clear stream celebrities such as Xun Yu and Xun Yu, and it is strange that Cao Cao did not pay attention to Wang Xiang. Apparently, Wang Xiang refused the request to serve.
What was the reason for Wang Xiang, he finally got the official post at the age of 60.
By that time, Cao Cao had already died, and Cao Pi, Cao Rui, and other Cao family members had been purged, and Sima Yi and his children had instead wanted power.
Wang Xiang was heavily used by the Sima Yi clan, and in 260 he was promoted to Sima Yi, one of the Three Ducal Ministers, and the following year to Captain, who was in charge of the military. And in 269, at the age of 85, he completed his life.
Mr. Wang of the Western Jin Dynasty
Emperor Wu, who unified the three countries, was also a dark prince and a tyrant, but his son, Emperor Hui, was the worst class dark prince in the history of the world.
"Elegantly without a cold gate, vulgarly without a prestigious clan"
This is the word that best describes the era of Jin, but Jin was an extreme aristocratic society, and Mr. Wang was at the top of the hierarchy.
However, on the other hand, Wang Rong, one of Mr. Wang, sensed that Jin had no future, and started his own ranch and industry to start profiting, while actively saying "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". The fame also increased, such as being enthusiastic about the fellowship "Qingtan".
His cousin, Wang Yan, was promoted in the central government and took up the post of the Three Ducal Ministers, and Mr. Wang grew up as one of the most prestigious in Jin.
However, when Wang Yan took control of Jin, the "War of the Eight Princes", a battle between the Sima clan, broke out, and the Xiongnu who took advantage of that momentum caused the "Disaster of Yongjia", and they were in danger of being destroyed. rice field.
Wang Dao / Wang Dun
When the War of the Eight Princes broke out, the conflict between the Sima clan intensified. Seeing it on the sidelines, Langya Commandery's Shiba, following the advice of Wang Dao, gave up on Zhongyuan and decided to move to Gangnam.
There were Wu's vassals in Gangnam, but it was also Wang Dao who cleverly aimed at internal conflicts and gradually expanded his power.
Eventually, when Jin was destroyed by the Yongjia Rebellion, Wang Dao would establish Eastern Jin with Shiba Makoto.
It can be said that Eastern Jin was a nation with a very fragile base in which the great aristocrats were in power from the beginning.
The center was initially Wang Dao.
He, along with his cousin Wang Dun, seized power within Eastern Jin and conquered one after another the powerful tribes who did not obey Shiba.
It can be said that the combination of Wang Dao, who is talented in domestic affairs, and Wang Dun, who is talented in combat, has already surpassed the power of Shiba.
Wang Dun concurrently held important positions such as General and Samurai, Jiangzhou provincial governor, and Governor of Jingzhou provincial governor, and his armed force surpassed that of the emperor. He moved away from the center of politics and began to use aristocrats other than Mr. Wang.
Wang Dun's Ran
Wang Dun, who rebelled against Shiba, began marching toward the capital, Jiankang, under the pretext of removing Liu Jin, who was heavily used by Shiba, as a "Kimi no 奸".
Fearful of this, Wang Dun appointed Wang Dun as the Grand Chancellor (comparable to the current Prime Minister), and Wang Dun rectified the people who were heavily used by Shiba, and took full control of Eastern Jin. became.
Eventually, Makoto Shiba died, and his son became the throne as the Emperor Ming. Wang Dun exposes his intention to steal, but in 324, he died of illness.
He is 59 years old. His longevity may also be a talent.
Mr. Wang after that
Wang Dao continued to bow his head after Wang Dun's death.
In the meantime, the Emperor Ming collapsed at the age of 27, followed by the dark prince and the young emperor. Wang Dao keeps his position in such a trend and revives Mr. Wang's power.
And in that flow, Yoshiyuki Wang, who would be called Shosei, was born.
After that, Mr. Wang's prosperity continued, and even after the destruction of Eastern Jin, he survived the Six Dynasties as a great nobleman in Gangnam.
