What is the impact of the Eight Kings Rebellion?

The main influence of the Eight Kings Rebellion was to accelerate the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.

1. The whole story of the Eight Kings Rebellion: In 265 AD, Emperor Wu of Jin resumed the ancient enfeoffment system. After the death of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Hui Di was unable to govern the state affairs, and Queen Jia Nanfeng intervened in politics, which led to the eight kings fighting for power and profit. The unrest lasted for 16 years, and its core figures were Sima Liang, Sima Wei, Sima Lun, Sima Yi, Wang Sima and Chengdu. In the end, the power of the rulers finally fell to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and the "Eight Kings Rebellion" ended.

Main impacts:

1. aggravated the ruling crisis in the Western Jin Dynasty. The Western Jin Dynasty was established after it was seized from Cao Wei, and its position in history was very embarrassing. After all, he used to be a courtier, but now he is a family. His evaluation of the world is also very important and he is in an awkward position.

Once the emperor is incompetent, there will be individual ambitious figures around him, so he is doomed to go astray. When Emperor Jinhui was incompetent, he gave Queen Jia Nanfeng a chance. She intervened in state affairs, but the other princes could not sit still. Why can't women intervene, so there is a situation in which eight kings compete for power.

The Western Jin Dynasty itself is unified, and economic growth has just begun. But after the civil strife began, the army began to fight, and the people and businessmen suffered the most. The war has displaced people and lost the premise of labor. How can it drive economic development? In the end, it is difficult to eat, and the status of the ruling class will also be affected.

2. Power consumption. The Eight Heavenly Kings are still a family behind closed doors, but their own contradictions have caused struggles, which not only consumed national strength, but also created opportunities for foreigners. As we all know, the Central Plains region was always controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty in ancient times, but foreigners have always been eyeing it. The Eight Kings Rebellion is an opportunity for foreigners to develop and grow. When the internal forces of the Western Jin Dynasty are exhausted in the struggle for power and profit, what awaits the Western Jin Dynasty is extinction. Sure enough, foreigners took advantage of the chaos until the next five chaos appeared.

3. Class contradictions and ethnic contradictions broke out one after another. The rule of the Western Jin Dynasty itself was barely stable, but now the internal strength has been exhausted and all kinds of class contradictions have come out. Every dynasty had thieves, and then they appeared. Moreover, foreigners are still eyeing up, so there is unrest behind them. It was a dark time. And the rebellion of the Eight Kings is the most important inducement.
