Sima Jiong

He briefly served as Emperor Hui's regent after overthrowing the usurper Sima Lun in May 301.

After Emperor Wu exiled him from the capital Luoyang in January 283, he died in April that year.

Sima Jiong, as the oldest son of his wife Consort Jia Bao,[3] inherited his post, and complained to Emperor Wu about doctors' misdiagnosis.

As an imperial prince, Sima Jiong had a sizable number of troops under his command.

Prince Jiong refused and declared a rebellion to restore Emperor Hui.

Sima Lun was captured by officials in Luoyang who declared for the rebellion as well, and forced to issue an edict returning the throne to Emperor Hui.

He had his sons created princes, and ran the matters of the central government from his mansion, rarely visiting the emperor or attending the imperial meetings.

Gan then said, "You must not emulate the son of that Bai woman (referring to Sima Lun).

When Emperor Huai was later captured by Han-Zhao's emperor Liu Cong during the Disaster of Yongjia, Sima Jiong's sons were captured and executed by Han-Zhao forces, and Sima Jiong was left without descendants.
