However, in this way, Sima Shi lost his bright future almost overnight. At this time, Sima Shi was about 25 years old, and he was 32 years old again, and he became a "family squat" in the middle of the year. This is simply killing Sima Shi, a person with noble birth, extraordinary talents, and great ambitions.

At this time, Sima Shi's wife, Xiahou Hui, died inexplicably.

Xiahou Hui died in the second year of Qinglong, that is, the year when Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan.

It is said in the Book of Jin that it was Xiahou Hui who saw that Sima Yi's father and son had a heart of disobedience, so they were poisoned by Sima Shi.

It should be said that at this time, there was an incident where either you died or I lived, and Sima Shi chose "you die" without hesitation.

How else could he be said to be a terrible man?

Xiahou Hui was 24 years old when he died, and Sima Shi was 27 years old, and the two had five daughters together. Sima Shi should have a good relationship with Xiahou Hui, otherwise he would not have made people crazy like this. In the 21 years after Xiahou Hui's death, Sima Shi married twice and divorced once, but he didn't have a single child.

Sima Shi's second wife, Wu, was deposed; The third wife is called Yang Huiyu, she was born in the official family Taishan Goat, she is the granddaughter of Nanyang Taishou Yangxu, and the daughter of Shangdang Taishou Yangxu (dào); His mother was the Eastern Han Dynasty celebrity Zuo Zhonglang general Cai Yong (yō

g) and sister of Cai Wenji.

There is no doubt that Sima Shi's fertility is normal, then he will not have a child for such a long time, there are at least two possibilities, one is that the latter two wives have fertility problems, and the other is that Xiahou Hui's death has caused a certain shadow on his psychology.

What is it?

I don't know, with Sima Shi's later illustrious background, which historian dares to pass on the truth?

Xiahou Hui was buried in Junping Mausoleum after his death. After the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty, Xiahou Hui was posthumously named Empress Jinghuai.

…… ……

After the blow of the vanity case and the death of Xiahou Hui, Sima Shi has undergone great changes, and since then there is no longer a shadow of the former merry and noble son in the history books, and then Sima Shi has become cold, cruel and even perverted.

Sima Shi has been on the political stage again, and his father Sima Yi has become an auxiliary minister, and he has also been promoted to the Central Protector.

The duties and powers of the Central Protector Army are twofold, one is to control part of the forbidden army outside the capital, and the other is to be responsible for the selection of military attachés.

During his tenure, Sima Shi had strict laws and regulations, appointed officials according to merit, and never showed favoritism. In addition, Sima Shi is also eclectic in employing people, for example, Shi Bao, a Bohai man, was born poor, greedy for money and lustful, Sima Shi regarded him as his right-hand man, Sima Yi therefore rebuked Sima Shi, and Sima Shi brought out the examples of Guan Zhong and Chen Ping to prove that talent is more important than virtue.

Shi Bao later made great achievements for the Sima family and became the founding general of the Western Jin Dynasty.

While serving as the middle guard, Sima Shi also did a very scary thing.

At that time, the open and secret struggle between Cao Shuang and Sima Yi was close to white-hot, and Sima Shi privately raised dead soldiers in order to help his father win the struggle, and the number reached an astonishing three thousand.

These people were usually sent everywhere by Sima Shi, and he could easily grasp the information of all sides, but when Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Rebellion, Sima Shi's forbidden army and dead soldiers played a key role as the main force.

…… ……

There is also a small episode in this coup, Sima Yi told Sima Zhao the arrangements the night before the coup, and after falling asleep that night, Sima Yi sent someone to check on the situation of his two sons, and as a result, Sima Shi fell asleep peacefully, while Sima Zhao could not sleep all night.

This story actually does not show that Sima Zhao's psychological quality is worse than Sima Shi's, because Sima Zhao only knew about the situation temporarily, but it can completely prove that Sima Zhao's psychological quality is terrible.

No matter how much preparation there is in advance, it is terrifying for someone to be able to remain calm the night before the rebellion, and for many people, a college entrance exam alone can not sleep well, let alone a coup d'état that can decide life and death.

After this coup, Sima Shi's friend He Yan (ya

was killed by Sima Yi, and there was no attitude of Sima Shi in the middle. Judging from the later situation, Sima Shi has no feelings for these friends from the past, and he has become a monster.

Sima Yi died two years later, and Sima Shi did not inherit a good situation.

The Huainan Military Region had just broken out in a rebellion against Sima Yi, and the participants included Sikong Wang Ling, the military governor of Yangzhou, Cao Biao, the king of Chu, and Linghu Yu, the assassin of Yanzhou.

Internally, Emperor Cao Fang of Wei happened to be over 20 years old, which was the age when the blood and qi were just ready to seize power, and there were many people in the court who wanted to kill Sima Shi, and Zhuge Ke of Wu and Jiang Wei of Shu also came to power soon after, both of whom were the pioneers of the Northern Expedition, and they brought a lot of trouble to Sima Shi.

…… ……

After a bitter battle, Sima Shi withstood the onslaught of Jiang Wei and Zhuge Ke, slaughtered opponents in large numbers, and deposed the Wei Emperor Cao Fang. People often compare the usurping Sima father and son with the Cao father and son, and use Sima Yi to compare Cao Cao, but among the three Sima father and son, it is Sima Shi who is closest to Cao Cao in terms of style.

Sima Shi is extremely iron-fisted, like Sima Yi also has a net when he slaughtered opponents, Sima Zhao even forgave many people who are connected, but Sima Shi is a "kill" word, like Xu Yun, who has old friends with Sima Shi and has given up resistance, will not be able to escape death in the end.

If Sima Zhao's governing policy is "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish", then Sima Shi's policy is "those who follow me must also work hard".

His younger brother Sima Zhao was defeated by Zhuge Ke in Dongguan, and was directly stripped of his title by Sima Shi

Wen Qin, who launched the Huainan Second Rebellion with Qiu Jian, was disgruntled and suppressed by Sima Shi for falsely reporting his military exploits, and Sima Shi always maintained the strict policy of laws and regulations when he served as the Central Protector.

Whether it is killing, advocating the rule of law, being strict with the emperor or employing people uninhibitedly, or even killing old friends, Sima Shi is very similar to Cao Cao.

At the same time, Sima Shi also has the same special hobby as Cao Cao in killing, Cao Cao made a five-color stick to kill lawbreakers, and Sima Shi killed Li Feng who planned the coup d'état with his own hands with the iron ring on the knife handle, which is almost psychopathic.

Later, Sima Shi sentenced his accomplice and old friend Xiahou Xuan to death, and it was useless for Sima Zhao to intercede. And Sima Shi finally did something that even Cao Cao didn't dare to do, that is, the abolition of the emperor.

You must know that Emperor Xian also planned to murder Cao Cao, but Cao Cao didn't move him in the end, Sima Shi's badness can be said to exceed Cao Cao's, but he didn't kill the deposed emperor together like Dong Zhuo.

Sima Shi's final death is also very dramatic.

He was raided by Wen Qin's son Wen Yang during his crusade against Wen Qin.

Sima Shi has been suffering from eye disease, because of the fright caused the eyeballs to burst out, in order to calm the army's heart, Sima Shi bit the quilt and endured not to make a sound, and finally bit the quilt to pieces, but no one around him knew that he was frightened, and Wen Yang also failed to attack because he did not receive the expected effect.

However, this incident aggravated Sima Shi's condition, and he soon died of illness in Xuchang.

Sima Shi's reign was only four years, which was the most difficult four years in the process of Sima Jia's governance, and it was also the key four years to clear the obstacles, and then Sima Zhao's position was much more stable than Sima Shi. And the reason why Sima Shi died after only four years in power is inseparable from his overly tough methods that have attracted many resistances.

If I want to evaluate Sima Shi, his life is divided into two stages, Sima Shi in the first stage is just a carefree and promising son, and Sima Shi in the latter stage is a very terrifying person.

He lacks affection, is not close to women, is strict with people, acts decisively, can easily swing a butcher's knife at a friend, and at the same time has an incredible sense of reason and willpower, he can sleep peacefully on the eve of the coup, he can kill people with torture without changing his face, he would rather die of pain than hold back when he is attacked, everything can be called a breakthrough in human limits, but he has done it all, which can hardly be called a human being.

Sima Shi's ultimate essence is still a careerist full of power desires.
