In 220 AD, a generation of heroes Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, and Jia Kui was appointed as the Minister of Funeral, which made him an important force in the court. During the period when Cao Cao died, Cao Pi was still in Yecheng, far away from Luoyang. Other members of the Cao family intended to take advantage of geographical advantages to compete for the throne, but Jia Kui became a key figure. These Cao’s sons who wanted to fight for power tried to threaten Jia Kui with force and asked him to join his camp. However, Jia Kui unswervingly supported Cao Pi. Unlike Jia Kui who was loyal to the Cao family, Jia Chong entered the power core of the Cao family by virtue of his father’s honor, but actively helped the Sima family usurp power.
Jia Chong’s daughter, Jananfeng, has learned a lot from her father. Not only did she fight for power with the emperor of the Sima family, but she also became an important person who caused the Eight Kings Rebellion, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Five Husbands. Jia Kui’s wisdom and courage played a pivotal role in Cao Pi’s proclaiming himself emperor, and he became a capable minister in Cao Pi’s heart. Therefore, after Jia Kui’s death, Cao Pi’s emphasis on Jia Kui was transferred to his son Jia Chong. After Jia Chong inherited his father’s title, the Cao family regarded him as a member of the family and trusted him a lot. However, Jia Chong took refuge in the rising Sima family and made his son Sima Zhao’s disciple. And he himself also secretly turned his back and pledged allegiance to the Sima family.

Since then, Jia Chong has been loyal to the Cao family on the surface, but actually conveyed the secrets of the Cao family to the Sima family. Jia Chong provided a lot of support when the Sima family planned to usurp the Cao Wei regime. In the end, Jia Chong even blatantly sided with the Sima family and won the support of various princes for Sima Zhao. Although the princes surrendered to Cao Wei on the surface, in fact they all had various considerations in their hearts. Therefore, Jia Chong began to lobby for the Sima family, and finally succeeded in persuading many princes. In addition, Jia Chong also helped the Sima family solve a huge obstacle: the reigning Emperor Cao. After all, the legitimacy of the Sima family’s usurping the throne has always been questioned, and the existence of Emperor Cao is a warning, reminding the world that the Sima family’s status is not a matter of course.
In this vortex of power struggle, the little emperor has become a key figure, representing the hope of revitalizing the Cao family. If the Sima family wants to successfully usurp the throne, they must completely destroy this hope. Fortunately, the Sima family got the full support of the Jia family. They not only acted personally, but also organized a powerful team to successfully suppress the little emperor and his forces. The outstanding performance of the Jia family in this political contest made the Sima family very pleased. In order to consolidate the alliance between the two families, Sima Yan decided to strengthen the close relationship between the two parties through marriage. His younger brother married Jia Chong’s eldest daughter, and his son, Prince Sima Zhong, married Jia Chong’s second daughter, Jian Nanfeng. This marriage made the Jia family second only to the Sima family.
However, this promotion of status did not satisfy the Jia family, especially Jananfeng. After becoming the princess, she began to use her husband’s status to seek more benefits for herself, and at the same time closely monitored Sima Zhong. It is mainly manifested in two aspects: one is that she is extremely jealous and does not allow Sima Zhong to favor other women; the other is that she keeps a close eye on Sima Zhong politically and prevents him from establishing an independent political force. Facing Jananfeng’s tough attitude, the cowardly Sima Zhong didn’t have the courage to resist. Jananfeng’s ambition and cunning not only made Emperor Sima Yan fearful, but also plunged Sima’s family into chaos. When Sima Yan heard of Jananfeng’s various behaviors, the emperor neither dared to deprive Jananfeng of her position as the crown princess, nor dared to punish her.

After Sima Zhong succeeded to the throne, Jananfeng became the queen, which provided great convenience for her to intervene in the government. However, as Sima Zhong began to resist the oppression of the Jia family and Jananfeng, Jananfeng began to contact other princes, intending to use the disputes within the royal family to consolidate his position. In the process of fighting for power with Sima Zhong, Jananfeng did not have any children, but he did not allow Sima Zhong to make other people’s children the crown prince. Therefore, she managed to frame and kill the prince who had been established as the prince, which eventually led to the outbreak of the “Eight Kings Rebellion”. The “Eight Kings Rebellion” was a fierce internal struggle against the throne, and Jananfeng, the man behind the scenes, was not spared.
In this melee, the Sima family was in trouble and could not pay attention to the ethnic minority forces in the border areas, which eventually led to the “five chaos in China”. Jian Nanfeng’s behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal of his father Jia Chong, and it also caused Sima Yi’s world to collapse. The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the years are passing by. The story of Jia Chong and Jananfeng is like a mirror, reflecting the machinations and conspiracies of the Three Kingdoms period. Their stories tell us that Game of Thrones is a brutal game in which there are no permanent winners, only permanent contenders.
