Yang Yan, the first queen of Sima Yan, what was her first big mistake?

The 1 th mistake made by Yang Yan was that she should not persuade her husband Sima Yanli's son Sima Zhong to be the Crown Prince. Because Sima Zhong had no ability to govern the country, Yang Yan supported his son to be the Crown Prince, which directly pushed the Western Jin Dynasty into the abyss of chaos.

To find out what kind of big mistakes Chuchu made when she was alive, we should start with her marriage with her. Yang Yan's family background is very strong, and her ancestors were all senior officials of the Han Dynasty. Although the family had declined by the time Yang Yan's father arrived, Yang Yan was sensible and beautiful. Some fortune-tellers said that Yang Yan would be a rich man in the future, so when Si Mazhao heard these words, she hired her son Sima Yan and made Yang Yanli the prince's princess. After Sima Yan became emperor, Yang Yan became queen. Because the process of Sima Yan's claim to the throne was not smooth sailing, the husband and wife went through many political struggles together, and their feelings were very deep.

Yang Yan gave birth to three sons for her husband. Because the eldest son died early, her second son Sima Zhong became the eldest son in name. According to the old rule of establishing the eldest son, Sima Yan should make this son a prince. However, due to Sima Zhong's low IQ, Sima Yan once wanted to make other sons princes. Yang Yan thinks that if her son Sima Zhong can't be a prince, then she can't be a queen mother. So she told Sima Yan that although Sima Zhong didn't look very clever, if he could be carefully taught, he would definitely become a wise monarch in the future.

Sima Yan respected his wife Yang Yan very much, so he made Sima Zhong the Crown Prince. But it turns out that it is very wrong to appoint Sima Zhong as the Crown Prince. After Sima Zhong acceded to the throne, he could not handle state affairs, and the military and political power of the State of Jin fell into the hands of his wife Jia Nanfeng. Although Jia Nanfeng was brave, he did not have the ability to handle government affairs, which became the fuse of the Eight Kings Rebellion. If Yang Yan had persuaded Sima Yanli to make a talented prince, the Western Jin Dynasty would not have been so short-lived.
