Emperor Jianwen of Jin at AllExperts (1495 words)
Emperor Ai was succeeded by his brother Sima Yi the Prince of Langye, who took the throne as Emperor Fei.
He decided to depose Emperor Fei, and he spread false rumors that Emperor Fei was impotent and that his sons were actually sons of men that he favored (implying a homosexual relationship between him and those men).
Emperor Jianwen soon died, and was succeeded by his 10-year-old son Sima Yao, whom he created crown prince right before his death.
