Yang Yan, who has been spoiled for 20 years, has done two things wrong in her life and ruined the country.

Hello, I'm Yang Yan. You must have heard what she said.

Although the Western Jin Empire established by Sima's family realized the fourth great unification in history, it left a bad name in the minds of later generations because of improper state and incompetence in governing the country. There are many opinions about the rapid national subjugation in the Western Jin Dynasty. One of them, related to women, is the perverse behavior of Jia Nanfeng after a generation of demons.

But Jia Nanfeng can be superior, and another woman has a lot to do. She is Yang Yan, the founding queen of the Western Jin Dynasty. Looking back on the life of the most distinguished woman in the world at that time, she made more than this mistake.

Yang Yan was born in the famous Yang family during the Three Kingdoms period. Her parents died when she was a child. Throughout her life, except this shortcoming, her experience is complete. Although she lost her parents, Yang Yan was regarded as her own by her uncle and aunt. She is smart, beautiful, dignified and virtuous. The key point is that in that age of looking at faces, she was lucky enough to be asserted by fortune tellers that she must be either rich or expensive.

This reputation happened to be known by Si Mazhao, the great prime minister of Wei. He has the heart of usurping the throne, and Yang Yan's wealth is the icing on the cake, which is exactly what he wants, so he married this daughter-in-law with excellent academic performance for his son Sima Yan.

Sima Yan is famous for his romantic lust in history, and tens of thousands of beautiful women in the harem have made the best annotation for his notorious voice. However, for Yan Yang, a married wife, Sima Yan has always been affectionate, respectful and loving. From marriage to death, Yang Yan has been respected and loved for 20 years, which also shows her charm.

Of course, Yang Yan also has some means to spoil the harem among so many stunning women. This method is also used by her to protect her son's position. As a result, she was smarter this time and made two big mistakes.

After Yang Yan and Sima Yan got married, they gave birth to three sons and three daughters, among whom the eldest son Sima Gui died young. After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, her second son Sima Zhong naturally became a prince. However, this famous fool in history has behaved differently from ordinary people since he was a child, being stupid and slow. Although Sima Yan indulged in debauchery for the rest of his life, he still had some basic judgment. He was very dissatisfied with Sima Zhong and had the idea of re-establishing the Prince from time to time.

Although she is unpopular with her father, Sima Zhong is Yang Yan's pet. In order to keep her son's position, she tried her best. Among them, Sima Zhong was criticized for marrying an ugly woman, Jia Nanfeng.

Jia Nanfeng's father, Jia Chong, was an important official of Wei, and Jia Chong became his confidant for the development of his career. He planned Cao Mao's death. After the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jia Chong was highly respected, but in order to make the family last forever, Jia Chong made up his mind to marry his daughter into the palace. As it happens, in order to keep her son's position, Queen Yang Yan wanted to seek the support of the minister, and Jia Chong was undoubtedly the only candidate, so they hit it off and got married.

In Yang Yan's view, Jia Nanfeng looks a little ugly. Fortunately, she comes from an extraordinary family and is smart and decisive. After her son becomes emperor, she can also be a wife. Jia Nanfeng's performance at the beginning really proved Yang Yan's judgment. Shortly after Jia Nanfeng became the Crown Prince, Sima Yan had the idea of abolishing the Crown Prince. It was Jia Nanfeng's behind-the-scenes guidance that made Sima Zhong narrowly missed and continued to be a Chu army.

However, Yang Yan underestimated Jia Nanfeng's ambition. How can such a strong woman be willing to be the master of her harem? What's more, Jia Nanfeng's husband Sima Zhong is still a weak person. Such a relationship between husband and wife is doomed to be a situation in which women are strong and men are weak. It's a pity that Yang Yan can't see all this.

In 274 AD, Yang Yan, 37, died contentedly. Her life is a complete one, but her two major mistakes for the sake of consanguinity, defending Sima Zhong and letting Jia Nanfeng join in, laid a curse for the Western Jin Empire and directly led to its demise. A person is innocent and guilty, and Yang Yan is still the driving force behind him. It really doesn't make sense to say that she is not responsible for the demise of the Golden Empire.
