Biography[]
When Sima Zhao laid the foundations of what would become the Jin Dynasty in the late stages of the Three Kingdoms Period, he had two sons. Sima Yan, the eventual founding Emperor Wu, and a younger son by the name of Sima You. You seemed to be the more talented and favoured one both with his father and the general nobility. He was presumed to be the heir (but not officially named so) to Sima Zhao and later to Emperor Wu. Wu, however, kicked You right out of the capital in 282 AD, with You dying a year later. His titles in Qi Province were inherited by his son, Sima Jiong, who considered his father (and himself) snubbed out of their right to become Emperors of Jin, laying the foundation for Jiong's ambitions in the War of the Eight Princes.
A cousin of the developmentally disabled Emperor Hui and, as a result, a subject of his domineering wife, Empress Jia, one can only imagine Jiong wasn't too pleased with the ongoing situation in Luoyang. This became evident when he supported Sima Lun in 300 when he couped the Empress and forced her to commit suicide. Sima Lun then named himself regent, gave Sima Jiong some token rewards and effectively told him to get lost. He then deposed Hui in 301 and named himself Emperor, which immediately triggered a wave of rebellions against him. A broad coalition of Sima Jiong, Sima Ying, Sima Ai, and later Sima Yong (who had joined Lun until realising he was going to lose) formed against Lun, who saw himself deposed and forced to commit suicide just three months after naming himself Emperor.
Emperor Hui was brought back and reinstated as Emperor, with Sima Jiong acting as regent. With Emperor Hui childless and no other claimants to the throne (besides Sima Ying, who had been skipped over by Jiong), Sima Jiong became the most likely heir to the Jin Dynasty and it... well, let's just say it went to his head. Supposedly, the man became so arrogant and full of himself that he was utterly insufferable to everyone around him. He completely ignored Emperor Hui as he de-facto ran the government as Emperor in all but name from his own mansion, rarely if ever visiting the actual Emperor who was still very much alive and around at this time.
Sima Jiong also turned his attention increasingly to Sima Yong. He was suspicious of the prince for his initial support of Sima Lun during his brief stint as Emperor, and effectively had him stalked, followed, and spied on constantly. Sima Yong twisted this around and claimed that Jiong was plotting to assassinate him and rebelled against Jiong. He was joined by Sima Ying, still bitter from being removed from the line of succession, and together the two princes besieged the capital. In the middle of the siege, Sima Jiong accused Sima Ai (who had remained mostly loyal to him) of conspiring with the rebellion and tried to kill him. Ai and his personal refuge seized the Imperial Palace and Emperor Hui, where they held off Jiong's forces for three days. With enemies both inside and outside Luoyang, Sima Jiong's officers realised which way the wind was blowing and backstabbed him, handing him over to the rebels in a bid to stop the fighting. Soon after, Sima Jiong was executed, having reached his desired goal of almost certainly becoming the future emperor of Jin, yet throwing it all away due to a mixture of pride and arrogance.
