Speaking of the emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, most of them are indeed surprisingly similar. They were already wearing dragon robes at a young age, but they died of illness at a young age. So many facts are indeed puzzling. Emperor Kang of Jin was one of them. He was first named King of Wu, and then changed to King Langya. Finally, when Emperor Cheng of Jin was seriously ill, he succeeded to the throne due to the strong recommendation of some ministers. The only difference from his brother is that he inherited the throne after he reached adulthood, but this is the same as his father.
In other words, Sima Yue's brother Jin Chengdi suddenly became not in very good health, and later the situation became even worse. Therefore, Sima Yan himself felt that his health could not last long. So he decided to start looking for the next heir. However, at this time, his two children were still very young and could not take on such a big responsibility, so he had not yet decided on a good candidate. At this time, Emperor Jin Cheng and his uncle were a little worried, because he and his brothers had always had a certain status in the court, but what would happen if these very young children succeeded them? But it's hard to predict. Therefore, out of such worries and the alienation from others, the Yu family brothers planned to support Sima Yue and make him the next successor.
So they teamed up to persuade Emperor Cheng of Jin that there were some powerful enemies outside their country, so they should let older and more capable people succeed him. Reason, fully recommend Sima Yue to succeed to the throne. Faced with this situation, Sima Yan finally agreed with them. Finally, after his death, his younger brother successfully became Emperor Kangdi of Jin in accordance with the wishes he left behind.
And just after he took office, he issued a general amnesty to the whole country and ordered all soldiers not to leave their posts privately to mourn. For this reason, he himself could not say too much according to the rules, so he appointed Yu Bing and He Chong to help handle the affairs. After this incident, Emperor Kangdi of Jin Dynasty told He and Yu that he was able to achieve his current status only because of their strength, and expressed his gratitude to them. In response, He did not claim credit and replied that these were all Yu Bing's contributions and had nothing to do with him. If his opinions were followed, then Sima Yue would not be able to see this "era of peace" . He Chong's reply made Emperor Jin Kang feel very surprised, and he even blushed a little. Maybe it was because Sima Yue himself knew very well what he said.
When talking about Sima Yue, we have to mention his queen Chu Suanzi. In the three years of his reign, because the period was too short, Emperor Kangdi did not have much achievements to mention. That is to say, he made great achievements in calligraphy, and he was highly praised by later generations. And his wife, Queen Chu, eventually came to court three times and supported as many as six emperors in one day. This is amazing. She is indeed a very extraordinary and difficult person. On the other hand, looking at her husband, Emperor Kangdi of Jin, he only reigned for three years and did not achieve much. He died at the age of only twenty-three. It is indeed a bit ironic and a bit sad.
After that, his and Empress Dowager Chu's child Sima Dan succeeded him and became emperor when he was only two years old. He was called Emperor Mu in history.
The evaluation of Emperor Kangxi of Jin Dynasty is rarely based on his achievements in government affairs. In addition to this, it is more praise for his achievements in calligraphy. What people did not expect is that such a monarch who has not done much is very good at calligraphy. It's just that most of the lords of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were short-lived. It's really hard to figure out.
