187 Clever counsel to the prodigal son

Sima Wang.

Sima Wang (205 – June 17, 271), the beginning of the character. A native of Wen County, Hanoi County (now Wen County, Henan). The general of the Three Kingdoms Cao Wei, an important minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, the second son of Sima Fu, the king of Anping, and the nephew of Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty.

Sima Wang initially succeeded Sima Fu's eldest brother Sima Lang, and successively served as Pingyang Taishou and Luoyang Diannong Zhonglang General in Cao Wei, and was named the Marquis of Yong'an Pavilion. Later, he was promoted to the general of the Protector Army, and was treated by Emperor Cao Chao (máo) of Wei.

At that time, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao successively assisted the government and held great power. Sima Wang felt uneasy because he was favored by Cao Chao, so he asked to go out to serve as a general of Zhengxi, holding festivals, supervising the military of Yong and Liang Prefectures, and Weihua Mingsu, resisting Jiang Wei's attacks many times to defend Cao Wei's western region.

Later, he was conscripted into the court as a general of Wei and a leader in the army, and was in charge of the forbidden army, and moved to Situ. After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Wang was named the king of Yiyang, and led the Chinese army to resist the attacks of Wu many times, and the official was the great Sima. In the seventh year of Taishi (271), Sima Wang died at the age of sixty-seven - like his own father, he was also a high life. He is just a little stingy, greedy for money, greedy for sex in his youth, otherwise he can live longer.

…… ……

Sima Wang has a generous personality and has the demeanor of a father. He served as a treasurer in the county and was recommended as filial piety. Later, he was set up as a subordinate by Situ, and successively served as the Taishou of Pingyang County and the general of Luoyang Diannong.

In the third year of Jiaping (251), Sima Wang followed his uncle Sima Yi to conquer Wang Ling. Afterwards, he was named the Marquis of Yong'an Pavilion for his merits.

Later, he was promoted to the general of the army, renamed the Marquis of Anle, and was added to the post of a regular attendant.

Cao Chao, the noble township prince, likes talented people, and Sima Wang, Pei Xiu, Wang Shen, and Zhong Hui were received by him closely, and often accompanied him to banquets. Cao Chao was anxious, Pei Xiu served in the palace, and they arrived as soon as they were summoned, but Sima Wang was a foreign official, so he specially gave him a chaser with five tiger soldiers.

At that time, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao successively assisted the government and grasped the power, but they did not ask Cao Chao about political affairs. Sima Wang was pampered by Cao Chao and felt uneasy, so he asked to go out to work.

Zhun play, let him serve as the general of the expedition to the west, hold the festival, and supervise the military of Yongliang and Liangzhou.

In Kyoto, Sima Wang was cautious, and his family had one wife and two concubines, and he did not dare to publicize it. But after he was released, he got up happily, and suddenly found a platoon of concubines, and almost every day he lived in the bedroom, living the life of a little emperor.

When his wife Wang saw what to do like this, she discussed with the original two concubines, what should I do?

One of his concubines was a young lady from a prominent family in Hanoi, surnamed Yang, and she was very smart, so she came up with an idea, and the other two listened to it, smacked it, and said, "Okay, you can do things." ”

A few days later, a burglar was caught in the house. During the Three Kingdoms period, thieves could be killed, let alone caught in the general's mansion.

Caught, Sima Wang raised his knife to kill, but the thief hurriedly said that he was not a thief, but was sent by the emperor to investigate him.

Sima Wang immediately lost his temper.

Just then, his wife, Wang, came out and asked the thief, "What have you found?" ”

The thief said, "Before I could make a move, I was caught." ”

Wang said, "Then you can probe generously in our house, why bother like a thief?" ”

The thief said, "The villain doesn't dare anymore." ”

Wang said, "Okay, come with me, I'll take you around and explore in detail." ”

After saying that, Wang asked the thief to loosen his ties and led him outside.

Sima Wang saw that the thief was not paying attention, and pulled his wife Wang, Wang stood still, Sima Wang eagerly said to his wife, "Don't come to my bedroom, they are still ......"

Wang said, "What's the matter with them? ”

Sima Wang said, "They are not dressed properly, let this kid see it, don't you know what is going on at once?" ”

Wang said, "The emperor can be congested in the harem, and his general has one or twenty concubines, so what's the matter?" ”

Sima Wang said, "How can I compare with the emperor? Isn't that waiting for the head to hit the ground? ”

Wang deliberately pretended not to know and said, "Huh? Or is it like this?! ”

- This is the consolation plan of one wife and two concubines.

From then on, Sima Wang no longer dared to mess with flowers and grass, and acted arbitrarily. He devoted himself to military service.

Sima Wang was in office for eight years, wafer, clear and serious, he formulated a wide range of policies and strategies, and repeatedly resisted the attacks of the Shu general Jiang Wei, and the Guanzhong region had to rely on him. Later, Sima Wang was conscripted into the court, worshiped the general of the guard, led the army, and was in charge of the forbidden army.

In the first year of Xianxi (264), Sima Wang was promoted to hussar general and opened the palace. In August, he succeeded He as Situ. In December of the following year, Sima Yan (Emperor Wu of Jin) proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Wei and established the Western Jin Dynasty.

Sima Yan issued an edict in the third year of Taishi (267) to appoint Sima Wang as a lieutenant, and the position of leading the army remained the same. Twenty-two more staff members were allocated for him, and he pretended to be feathered and preached.

…… ……

General Wu attacked Jiangxia County, causing a commotion on the border. The imperial court ordered Sima Wang to lead a total of 20,000 infantry cavalry of the Chinese army, out of Tunlongpi, as an important town for the two sides, and granted him a false festival to increase the capital to supervise the military.

Soon, Jingzhou assassin Shi Hu Lie broke Shi Ji, and Sima Wang returned to the court. In the same year, Wu general Ding Feng and others attacked Shaobi again, and Sima Wang led the army to meet it, but before it arrived, Ding Feng had already retreated.

Soon, Sima Wang was worshiped as the Great Sima.

…… ……

Sun Hao listened to the prophecy and personally led the army to attack Shouchun, and the imperial court ordered Sima Wangtong to lead 20,000 Chinese troops and 3,000 cavalry to defend Huaibei. Soon, Sun Hao retreated, and Sima Wang also stopped marching. On May 23 (June 17), the seventh year of Taishi (271), Sima Wang died at the age of sixty-seven. The imperial court gave a lot of money and goods, and gave it as "success".

When Sima Wang was young, he was like his father Sima Fu, who had a generous personality, and later served as the general of the expedition to the west, resisting Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition many times in eight years, and making great contributions to the defense of Cao Wei's western region.

Later, he was appointed to lead the army and lead the forbidden army, as the heart of the Sima clan.

After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, his status became more noble, he was an important minister in the clan, and he still served as the leader of the central army, and twice led the Chinese army to send troops, which can be seen in his trust.

But he was stingy and liked to accumulate wealth, and after his death, his family piled up a mountain of gold and silk, so he was ridiculed by the world. Examine! Where did you get all this wealth? Does it have anything to do with his own father, who was the finance minister?

It is said that although he passed on to his uncle, he still maintained a close relationship with his own father, and when he was in Yongliang Erzhou, Sima Fu visited him many times, and drove a lot, what? I don't know, it's generally worth a lot of money, but it's simply gold and silver, and it's hard to say.

Now corruption transfers money to children, and it is said that he learned it from Sima Fu.
