Life of the characters

Assistant Sima

Jia Chong was born in 217, the 22nd year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was the son of Jia Kui, the governor of Yuzhou in the Wei Dynasty. He was born in the Jia family of Pingyang. Jia Kui gave birth to Jia Chong in his later years, which was a happy event for Chong Lu, so it was named after him.

In 228, Jia Kui died and Jia Chong was under age. When he was in mourning, he got the name of filial piety. Marquis Jia Yang's father took over the throne. Later, he became an official in the Wei Dynasty, and served as a minister. He also served as an official in the imperial examinations. Then he moved to Huangmen, Jijun Diannong Zhonglang general.

Later, he joined the general Army (SIMA Shi) and went with Sima Shi to fight against the rebellion launched by Wu Qiujian and Wen Qin in the second year of Zhengyuan (252). Sima Shi was seriously ill. He returned to Xuchang and left Jiachong to supervise the troops. After the war, Sima Shi died of illness. Sima Zhao returned to Luoyang to take over the power under the arrangement of Fu Gu, and Jia Chong stayed in Xuchang to supervise the military, adding 350 families.

To overcome the enemy's fall

After Sima Zhao took over the power, he was appointed as general Sima of Jiachong's army and turned to the right as a long history. At that time, Sima Zhao was in charge of the government. He was afraid that the generals of Fangzhen would disagree with him and sent Jia Chong to Zhuge's birthday. Jia Chong tested Zhuge's birthday and said, "all the sages in Luoyang agreed to the emperor's abdication, you know that. What do you think? " But Zhuge criticized him harshly: "you are not Jia Kui's son! You have been favored by Cao Wei from generation to generation. How can you live up to your country and give Cao Wei to others? I can't hear that at all. If the emperor of Luoyang is in trouble, I will fight to death. " Jia Chong was silent and said to Sima Zhao when he went back: "ZHUGE's birthday in Yangzhou has long been famous and can win people's lives. If you look at his scale, you will surely rebel. Now it's a small matter to ask for help. If it's too late, it's a big disaster. "

Sima Zhao enlisted Zhuge's birthday as Sikong in the second year of Ganlu (257), and Zhuge's birthday rebelled. After Sima Zhao's expedition to Zhuge's birthday, Jia Chong offered a plan to conquer the enemy's sharp soldiers with deep trenches and high bases. Sima Zhao Ji followed. After Shouchun was captured, Jia Chong was rewarded for climbing the base. Sima Zhao first returned to Luoyang and left Jiachong to deal with the affairs of the south. Jia Chong became the Marquis of Yiyang because of his merits. Before long, Qian Tingwei got the reputation of rehabilitating unjust imprisonment because he was familiar with the criminal law.

Disobedience and regicide

Jia Chong was later transferred to the central security forces. In the fifth year of Ganlu (260), Cao Mao, the emperor of Wei, resented that Sima Zhao was only in charge of the government, and gathered the palace guards and some slaves to attack Sima Zhao. Jia Chong and thousands of soldiers stopped Cao Mao in nanque. Cao Mao personally fought with his sword, saying that anyone who dared to move would destroy his family. Everyone felt that fighting with the emperor was very important, and they were ready to run away. Cheng Ji, the prince who followed Jia Chong, asked Jia Chong, "what should I do about this?" Jia Chong replied: "Sima Gong keeps you for today! Do you still need to ask? " Cheng Ji heard that he was brave, so he went forward to kill Cao Mao. After Cao Mao's death, the ministers of Sima Zhao's Church discussed how to account for the incident. Chen Tai suggested that Jia Chong, who was the mastermind of the assassination, should be killed. But Sima Zhao didn't want to. He only killed Cheng Ji and Cheng Chu. (see Sima Zhao's regicide) Cao Huan was later made emperor, and Jia Chongjin was granted the title

Marquis of Anyang

He led all the troops outside the city and served as a general.

In 264, Zhong Hui rebelled in Chengdu after the destruction of Shu. Jia Chong garrisoned in Hanzhong with the help of the central guard, the governor of Guanzhong and Longyou. Before arriving at Zhong Hui, he was defeated by the mutiny of the soldiers.

After Jia Chong returned to the court to participate in the imperial secrets, he and Pei Xiu, Wang Shen, Yang Hu, Xun Xu were all valued by Sima Zhao. Jia Chong was ordered to make new laws. Later, he was granted a luxury mansion. After the establishment of the fifth rank Marquis, he was granted the title of Marquis of Linyi.

In 265, Sima Zhao was seriously ill. Before he died, he pointed out that Jia Chong could help him. Sima Yan succeeded to the throne of the queen of Jin, appointed Jia Chong as the guard General of Jin State, the third division of Yitong, and gei Shizhong, and changed the title to Linying marquis. In the same year, Sima Yan called himself Emperor, worshipped Jia Chong as a general of chariots and cavalry, a regular official of Sanqi, and a minister of Shangshu. After the promulgation of the new law "Tai Shi law" formulated by Jia Chong, the people praised the convenience of the new law. Sima Yan issued an imperial edict to praise the new law and granted Jia Chong's son a Marquis of Guannei. After that, Jia Chong took the place of Pei Xiu and received the order of Shangshu. Later, he was relieved to serve as a general servant and changed to serve as a general servant. When Jia Chong's mother died and Jia Chong left his post, Sima Yan sent his yellow gate servant to express his sympathy. Later, when something happened at the border of the eastern Wu Dynasty, he sent Yang Xiao, general of the Dian army, to announce an edict, ordering him to return to his post within 60 days. After that, sun xiulai, the general of the eastern Wu Dynasty, came down and served as a general of the puma cavalry. Sima Yan took Jia Chong as an old minister and planned to change the position between the general of the cavalry and the general of the puma cavalry, but he failed because of Jia Chong's resignation.

Flattery and bad character

At that time, Ren Kai and Zhongshu made upright officials like Yu Chun hate Jia Chong. Jia Bao, the daughter of Jia Chong, became the princess of Sima you, the king of Qi. They were afraid that Jia Chong would become more powerful in the future. Jia Chong didn't want Ren Kai to keep close to the emperor, so he recommended Ren Kai as an official of the East Palace, intending to cut off his position as a servant. However, Sima Yan asked Ren Kai to be a little Fu of the crown prince and stay in the servant.

In 271, Ren Kai took advantage of Xianbei baldness tree to invade Qinzhou and Yongzhou. He suggested to Sima Yan that a dignitary and resourceful minister should go to the town of Fubian, and Jia Chong was the first one. With the support of Yu Chun, Sima Yan appointed Jia chongjia, the governor of Qin lianger Prefecture, to go out to Chang'an. Jia Chong deeply hates Ren Kai. Later, xunxu proposed that Jia Chong marry his daughter Jia Nanfeng as the prince simazhong, and Jia Chong was able to stay in Luoyang. After Jia Chong moved to the post of Sikong, he continued to serve as the commander in chief, the commander in chief and the general of chariots. Later, he was transferred to the post of Taiwei, xingtaizi Taibao and Lushang Shushi.

Jia Chong got some advice, praised Ren Kai and recommended him to handle the election. Sima Yan appointed Ren Kai as the Minister of the Ministry of officials. Ren Kai's affairs were busy, and the chance to meet Sima Yan was reduced. Jia Chong and his party members framed and slandered Ren Kai for many times, which made him removed from office for many times and never reach a high position again.

In the third year of Xianning (277), there was a solar eclipse. Jia Chong asked for abdication. Sima Yan not only refused, but also appropriated gongqiu County of Pei state into his fiefdom. His favor became more and more deep, which made the courtiers all look at him.

Be afraid of going in and out

In the winter of the fifth year of Xianning (279), Sima Yan launched the war against Wu, and ordered Jia Chong to be an envoy to Chijie, a fake yellow Yue, a governor of Dadu, and the president's six armies. Jia Chong is afraid of failure and opposes sending troops, but Sima Yan insists that if Jia Chong refuses, he will personally lead the army to attack. Jia Chong was forced to accept the appointment and lead the Chinese army in Nantun Xiangyang to save the army. The following year, all the generals of Soochow in Jingzhou surrendered, and Jia Chong was ordered to move to Xiang county. At this time, Jia Chong also called for a strike, believing that the eastern Wu could not be destroyed at one stroke, and once the war continued, there would be a crisis of epidemic disease in the army. At that time, xunxu also played the same kind of playing table as Jia Chong, but he was not accepted by Sima Yan. When Jia Chong's emissary arrived at Fuyuan, SUN Hao, the late Wu Emperor, surrendered. Because Jia Chong originally opposed the attack on Wu, and during that time he advised to retreat. Today, when the east Wu fell, Jia Chong was very afraid and planned to plead guilty, but Sima Yan only appeased and did not plead guilty.

Hence the rank of honor

In the third year of Taikang (282), Jia Chong was seriously ill and handed over yinshou to abdicate. Sima Yan sent his courtiers to greet him. He also sent the imperial doctor to treat him. The crown prince and even the imperial family came to visit Jia Chong. Jia Chong died in April of the same year at the age of 66. When Jia Chong was seriously ill, he was afraid that he would get a bad posthumous title after his death. His nephew Jia Mo said, "right and wrong, merits and demerits have their own comments, which can't be covered up." When doctor Qin Xiu discussed the posthumous title, he thought that Jia Chong should be posthumous Duke Huang, but Sima Yan refused. He followed doctor Duan Chang's advice and was posthumous

Wu Gong

. After Jia Chong's death, Sima Yan was very sad. He gave him a big reward. The funeral was in the form of Huo Guang and Sima Fu, and even gave him a cemetery.

Character evaluation

General comments

Jia Chong was good at legal theory, and presided over the revision of Tai Shi law. He distinguished the concepts of law and order for the first time in legal theory. In the war of annihilating Wu, although Jia Chong took part passively, he was only the commander in name, and the military command was given by Sima Yan directly to the front-line generals with imperial edicts, Jia Chong also played a role of supervision and support, at least enabling his cronies to take part in the war. For example, Feng Chuan, the general of Zuo Wei, led the army of Runan to attack Jianye with Wang Jun.

But on the other hand, Jia Chong flattered the poor quality, formed a clique for personal gain, and framed Zhongliang. In the Wei Dynasty, he killed the king and bullied the master. In the Jin Dynasty, he always "had no justice, could not be upright, but only flattered". It can be said that he "was not only the rebel of the Wei Dynasty, but also the sinner of the Jin Dynasty"; he had no virtue but wealth, and his family was not right, so that his descendants and even a country were in chaos. His daughter Jia Nanfeng married emperor Sima Zhong. When Emperor Wu of Jin was alive, the ministers of the imperial court all saw that the crown prince was really unbearable. However, because he was the eldest son and the son-in-law of Jia Chong, Sima Zhong was finally succeeded to the throne. Jia Chong and Jia Nanfeng contributed a lot to Sima Zhong's succession. Later, Jia Nanfeng was in power, which led to the rebellion of the eight kings and even the subsequent five chaos.
