"A gentleman cannot live forever, but he must remember it forever!" This famous "famous saying" in Chinese history came from the powerful official Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In fact, when the ruling Huan Wen said this, Dai Jin's intention to become independent was obvious. Originally, he planned to establish "immortal" military power through the third Northern Expedition in the third year of Taihe, return to the dynasty victoriously, and naturally seize the throne of Sima. However, human calculations are not as good as heaven’s calculations. As a result, he fainted and returned home.

Although the Northern Expedition was defeated, Huan Wen still had the intention of usurping the Jin Dynasty. But Huan Wen understood that "without establishing immortal honor, it is not enough to satisfy the people!" Therefore, except for the actions of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, he "had no authority to suppress the world." Of course, there is always a reasonable reason to depose an emperor, and Emperor Sima Yi of the Jin Dynasty has been the Empress Dowager of Chu since he came to the throne in the third year of Xingning. Sima Yi has always respected Huan Wen and followed his path without any fault. Huan Wen "falsely accused his wife", saying that Sima Yi had long-term impotence and was engaging in homosexuality with his three pets, Xiang Long, Ji Hao, and Zhu Lingbao. He also said that the three sons born to Sima Yi's wives Tian and Meng were actually the flesh and blood of these three favorites. Now Sima Yi wanted to "build the crown prince and move the imperial foundation." At the same time, people were sent to spread these words to the people. At that time, the government and the public were talking a lot, saying, "Don't judge whether it is true or false."

In November of the sixth year of Taihe, Huan Wen led an army to Jiankang, Kyoto, and announced it as the Empress Dowager. A written imperial edict was issued to Empress Dowager Zhu in her name. Empress Dowager Cixi had no choice but to sign and abolish the establishment. Therefore, Huan Wen summoned all officials in the court and announced the abolition of the empress dowager's edict. Sima Yi was deposed as King of Donghai, and Sima Yi, King of Huiji, inherited the imperial system and became Emperor Jianwen. Huan Wen also sent Liu Heng, the Minister of Sanqi, into the palace to seize the national seal, forcing Sima Yi to leave the palace immediately. It's mid-autumn and the weather is still warm. "Sima Yi, dressed in white, walked down the west hall and got on a calf cart to the outside of Humen. The ministers were all embarrassed to say goodbye." Huan Wen ordered his men to lead hundreds of soldiers to escort Sima Yi back to the original Donghai Palace. A year later, it was reduced to Haixi County.

So Sima Yi actively "cooperated" with Huan Wen and honestly "retired" due to impotence. At the end of the second year of Xian'an, someone suddenly came to his residence and said that he had a secret edict from the Queen Mother and welcomed him back to the palace for restoration. I don’t know if someone wanted to use him to depose the emperor as a pretext to do "something extraordinary", or if Huan Wen deliberately sent someone to test him. But Sima Yi was unmoved and said frankly: "I was offended by this. Fortunately, I was forgiven by the court. How dare you act rashly? If the Queen Mother ordered me to be reinstated, there should be an envoy from the palace. Why are you the only one not bringing me with you?" Is the evidence here? You must be trying to cause trouble." So people left in a hurry. After that, Sima Yi was "worrying about the country and its people, but Dust is smart and carefree" and drank and had fun all day long. If a palace maid gave birth to a child, she would immediately send someone to drown the child to prove that she was truly impotent. As a result, Sima Yi lived for fifteen years until he died of illness and finally came to an end.

We know that to this day, all men in the world are afraid of being said to be impotent. They can say whatever they want, but they can't say no. Sima Yi, on the other hand, meekly admitted his impotence without any excuse, even though he had three sons before he was deposed and another child was born after he was deposed. We might as well make a hypothesis. If Sima Yi revokes the imperial edict and announces that he can abdicate on the spot, but I am not impotent, or I will become the King of East China Sea or the Duke of Haixi County, claiming that my sexual function is fine, or the palace will give birth to a child and nurse it happily. Imagine, t

So, under an authoritarian regime, if a politician suddenly gets sick, there does not need to be any physical "issue", but it is often designated by the owner of power out of some political need. of. If you are sick, you have to be sick, and you have to "suffer" any disease. You can neither confess nor defend nor deny. Even if you are "virile", once you are diagnosed as impotent, you still have to "suffer" from impotence, and you have to be as if you are really impotent. This just confirms the popular saying in officialdom: Say you can do it, you can do it, but you can't; say you can't, you can't, you can't. Of course, when you say you can't do it, you also have to admit verbally that you can't do it. You can't do it yourself in action, or even pretend to do it at all costs.
