? Si Marui's position and fame in the Western Jin Dynasty royal family were not high. When Huaidi was in the Jin Dynasty, he was sent to guard the south of the Yangtze River. He also brought a group of northern officials, the most famous of which was Wang Dao. Si Marui regards Wang Dao as a bosom friend and does everything he says.
? When Sima Rui first arrived in Jiankang, some gentry in the south of the Yangtze River disliked him, looked down on him and didn't visit him. Si Marui himself is very timid and often feels uneasy, so he asks Wang Dao to do something.
? Wang Dao called Wang Dun, who was a secretariat in Yangzhou, and they agreed on an idea.
? On the third day of March this year, according to local customs, it was Mao Festival, and people and officials went to the river to "seek happiness and eliminate disasters". On this day, Wang Dao asked Si Marui to sit in a gorgeous sedan chair and go to the river. There is a guard of honor in front, and dignitaries from Wang Dao, Wang Dun and the north all ride behind. This big ostentation and extravagance caused a sensation in Health City at once.
? Gu Rong, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, came to watch the news. When they saw that Wang Dao and Wang Dun respected Si Marui so much, they were not only surprised, but also worried that they had neglected Si Marui. One by one, they came out to meet Si Marui.
? Since then, many families in the south of the Yangtze River have supported Si Marui, and Si Marui has also established his own home in Jiankang.
Later, when the Northern War broke out, some gentry landlords fled to the south of the Yangtze River to take refuge. Wang Dao persuaded Si Marui to absorb all their celebrities into the palace. Si Marui took Wang Dao's advice and absorbed more than 100 people into the palace as officials.
With the help of Wang Dao, Si Marui gradually consolidated his position by wooing the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and absorbing talents from the north.
? Let's talk about that era, when the north was at war for years. At that time, ethnic minorities killed the Han nationality especially hard. At that time, they were called bipedal sheep. Many nobles fled to the south, called Guan Yi Du Nan. In addition, these gentry all went to the south in groups. These nobles occupied many local forests and fields. It is no exaggeration to call them bullies.
? In 3 17 AD, Si Marui succeeded to the throne in Jiankang, namely the Emperor of Jin Dynasty. Since then, the rulers have been building the capital and building health. In order to distinguish it from the Jin Dynasty established by Sima Yan, it was called the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history.
? The Jin and Yuan emperors thought that he could get the throne because of the help of Wang Dao and Wang Dun, so they had special respect for them. He appointed Wang Dao as the minister in charge of the internal power, put Wang Dun in charge of the military, and appointed the children of the Wangs as important posts.
? At that time, there was a saying among the people: the king and the horse are * * * the world. It means that the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in the hands of Wang He and Sima Royal Family.
? After Wang Dun came to power, he ignored the Jin and Yuan emperors. The Jin and Yuan emperors also saw Wang Dun's arrogance, so they gradually alienated the Wang brothers, in addition to reusing ministers Liu Diao and Liu Kun. In this way, cracks appeared in the newly established Eastern Jin Dynasty.
