Sima Shi.

Sima Shi (208 – March 23, 255), a native of Wen County, Hanoi (now Wen County, Henan). During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei Quanchen, one of the founders of the Western Jin Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Xuan Yi of the Jin Dynasty and Empress Zhang Chunhua of Xuanmu, the half-brother of Emperor Wen of the Jin Dynasty Sima Zhao, and the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Sima Yan.

Sima Shi was calm and strong, eloquent and strategic, and in his early years with Xiahou Xuan and He Yan (ya

Homogeneous.

After the change of Gao Pingling, he was awarded the title of Changping Township Marquis and General Xuan Jiawei.

After Sima Yi's death, he was appointed as an assistant to the general of the Fu army, monopolized the power of the imperial court, and was promoted to general the following year.

After taking power, he formulated regulations for the selection of officials, ordered hundreds of officials to recommend talents, and rectified the discipline so that each of them had their own duties, and the government and the opposition were solemn.

Sima Shi also had outstanding military talents, and once used a plan to defeat the army of Zhuge Ke of Wu in the Battle of Xincheng.

In the sixth year of Jiaping (254), Emperor Cao Fang of Wei conspired with Li Feng and others to get rid of Sima Shi, but the matter was leaked, Sima Shi killed the participants, and forced Empress Dowager Guo to depose Cao Fang and set up Cao Chao (máo), a noble township duke, as emperor.

The following year, he personally led his troops to pacify Guà

Qiu Jian, Wen Qin Rebellion.

On the way back to the division, he died of illness at the age of 48, and was nicknamed "Zhongwu". Later, he was posthumously honored as the King of Jinjing.

After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, he was posthumously honored as Emperor Jing, and the temple name was Sejong.

…… ……

In 225, Sima Shi married 14-year-old Xiahou Hui at the age of 17.

Xiahou Hui (211-234), known as Yuanrong, was a native of Qiáo County (now Bozhou, Anhui), and the first wife of Sima Shi. The daughter of Xiahou Shang, the general of Zhengnan, and the princess of Deyang Township, the mother of Deyang Township, is the sister of the great Sima Cao Zhen.

Her elder brother Xiahou Xuan is a good friend of Sima Shi, and he is his brother's sister. When he was a teenager, Xuan and Shi were always together, and they couldn't help but be familiar with Hui.

Xiahou Hui and Sima had five daughters and no sons.

Sima Shi succeeded Sima Zhao's second son, Sima You, as his adopted son.

Xiahou Hui is very knowledgeable, and whenever Sima Shi has any ideas, she will plan and assist her.

At that time, Sima Yi, the father of Sima Shi, was in the position of general, and his sons were all eloquent. Xiahou Hui knew that Sima Shi was by no means a loyal minister of Cao Wei, and Sima Shi was also very scruptuous, Xiahou Hui, who was born in the Cao Wei family. This planted the seeds for the tragedy of the two of them later.

…… ……

In the early years of Wei Jing, Sima Shi worshiped the scattered cavalry and served as a regular attendant, and the army was relocated to the middle of the army.

In the first year of Jiaping (249), Sima Yi launched the "Gaopingling Incident". Sima Shi personally led his troops to Tun Sima Gate and took control of Kyoto. Afterwards, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Changping and the post of General Jiawei.

On the eve of the incident, when Sima Yi told Sima Shi and Sima Zhao about the plan, Sima Zhao was worried and couldn't sleep all night, but Sima Shi slept peacefully as usual.

In the third year of Jiaping (251), Sima Yi died, Sima Shi became the general of the Fu army, in charge of the military and political power of Wei, and in the fourth year of Jiaping (252), he was promoted to a general, intending to capture the newly built embankment of Eastern Wu.

In December, he sent troops to attack Dongxing and listened to Zhuge Dan's plan; Attack in three ways, the main force is placed in Zhuge Dan's own troops, and a pontoon bridge is erected.

The battle of Dongxing was defeated by Zhuge Ke, and the courtiers discussed that Zhuge Dan and other generals who participated in the war were demoted, and Sima Shi blamed himself for the defeat, and said, "I don't listen to public leave, so that's it." What is the crime of the generals? ”

Sima Zhao was weakened because he was a supervising army, and the other generals did not punish him too much, but just transferred the defense area.

In May of the fifth year of Jiaping (253), Zhuge Ke, the Taifu of Sun Liang of Wu State, led a large army to attack the "Hefei New Town" (a small but strong new city thirty miles northwest of Hefei, built by Manzhong).

Sima Shi ordered Zhendong General Wuqiu Jian and Yangzhou Assassin Shi Wenqin to resist Zhuge Ke with deep ditches and high bases and waiting for work. Zhuge Ke was unable to fight, and was detained in the suburbs of Hefei New City for several months, and finally ran out of food and retreated, and was defeated by Wen Qin, who was ambushed in Heyu Town, on the way back.

In February of the sixth year of Jiaping (254), Cao Fang planned to order Zhongshu to order Li Feng, Taichang Xiahou Xuan, Guanglu Doctor Zhang Ji and others to launch a coup d'état, abolish Sima Shi, and change Taichang Xiahou Xuan to be a general, but unfortunately the plan was leaked, and the three were killed by Sima Shi (good buddy, eldest brother, move the knife, without mercy, and say, "Dude, I'm sorry, let's make friends again in the next life." The three clans were wiped out, Empress Zhang was abolished, and the Wei State fell into chaos for a while.

At this time, it is estimated that the family is also in chaos - killing his own brother, can Xiahou Hui stop?

In the same year, Sima Shi had suspicions of Cao Fang, abolished Cao Fang as the king of Qi, Sima Shi originally planned to establish Pengcheng King Cao Ji as the emperor, but the Empress Dowager Guo asked to set up the noble township prince Cao Chao as the emperor, at the insistence of the Empress Dowager Guo, Sima Shi disputed, so he sent a messenger to welcome Cao Chao to Luoyang to ascend the throne, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers continued to hold power.

…… ……

In the second year of Zhengyuan (255), the Zhendong general Wuqiu Jian and Yangzhou assassin Shi Wenqin raised troops against Sima Shi, and sent their four sons as hostages to Eastern Wu to curry favor with Sun Liang, but they did not receive strong support from Eastern Wu.

In the spring of January, Wuqiu Jian and Wenqin crossed the Huai River and marched westward from Shouchun, and there was no way to smash Luoyang to occupy Xuchang, and stopped when they reached Xiangxian.

Sima Shi instructed the supervising army Wang Ji to lead the forward troops to be stationed in "Nanton", to monitor Wuqiu Jian and Wenqin, and to send Zhuge Dan to lead the troops of Yuzhou to attack Shouchun; Sent Hu Zun to lead the soldiers of Qingzhou and Xuzhou to obliquely out of Qiáo County and today's Shangqiu, cutting off the road for Wuqiu Jian and Wenqin to return to Shouchun from Xiang County.

Sima Shi personally led the main force and gathered in Ruyang. In addition, Sima Shi asked Deng Ai to bring more than 10,000 troops of the "Taishan Army" to Lejia County, making a vulnerable appearance and luring Wuqiu Jian and Wen Qin to attack.

Wuqiu Jian really called Wen Qin to fight Deng Ai, and Sima Shi commanded a large force of cavalry to attack Wen Qin from behind, and Wen Qin was defeated. Wu Qiu Jian heard the news in Xiang County and hurriedly abandoned the city.

After Wu Qiujian walked to Shen County, he hid in the grass by the river and was shot to death by the people.

Wen Qin fled to Soochow in one go.

The people of the Wuqiu clan and the Wen family, all those who remained in the Wei state, were all beheaded together.

…… ……

At the beginning, Wen Qin's son Wen Yang led troops to attack the camp, Sima Shi was too frightened, and there was a tumor on his eye, which often leaked pus, causing the eyeball to shock out of the eye socket. On the 28th day of the first month of the second year of Zhengyuan (255) (March 23, 255), he died in Xuchang at the age of 48.

In February, Cao Chao was hanged in plain clothes, and his nickname was Zhongwu. In the first year of Xianxi (264), Sima Zhao was named the king of Jin, and posthumously honored Sima Shi as the king of Jin Jing. On February 8, 266, Sima Yan was called the emperor, and Sima Shi was called Emperor Jing, and his tomb was called Junping Mausoleum, and the temple was called Sejong.

…… ……

We just talked about the past of Sima Shi's life, many of which are some phenomena, so what kind of person is Sima Shi in his bones?

In a word: he was a terrible man.

Many successful people often suffer setbacks in their early years and rely on them to hone their minds. Sima Shi had such an experience, and the contrast he showed before and after the setback was jaw-dropping.

When Sima Shi was 19 years old, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi died, and his father Sima Yi became one of the important ministers of Tuogu, and Sima Shi also became Cao Wei's top son-in-law.

This is a period of scenery in Sima Shi's life, and the Book of Jin records that Sima Shi "is elegant and colorful, Shen Yi is more and more strategic, and has a reputation for less flow", that is, he has an extraordinary temperament, rich connotation, and a far-reaching reputation.

At that time, Sima Shi had two friends, one was Cao Cao's son-in-law He Yan (ya

The other is Xiahou Xuan, the son of Xiahou Shang, the deceased general of Zhengnan.

These two are somewhat similar to Sima Shi, and they also belong to the top sons with appearance, connotation, and fame. He Yan even arrogantly gave himself an exaggerated evaluation of the three-person group.

The three of them, together with a group of other young people, led the fashion of the time, and it can be said that there was no other person in the limelight. But then something went wrong: Sima Shi's Gongzi brother group offended Dong Zhao and other Cao Wei Laochen and Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rong (

ui) himself, so he was denounced in the name of "flashy", which was the famous "flashy case" during the reign of Cao Rong.

Regarding the matter of the "flashy case", it is easy for people to look forward to the righteousness of the text, thinking that these sons and brothers get together all day long to do something extravagant and useless and corrupt the atmosphere.

In fact, among the people implicated in the "vanity case" were many outstanding and talented people such as Xiahou Xuan, Sima Shi, and Zhuge Dan, and many of the topics they discussed when they got together belonged to topics related to current politics and academics

g) are all representatives of metaphysics.

Judging from the reforms led by these people in the early years of the Zheng Dynasty, they were basically people with considerable political ideals and aspirations. Compared to amusement groups, the Vanity Party is more akin to a political group or even an academic salon.

On the one hand, some of the ideas they put forward impacted the concepts of the time, rebelled against tradition in terms of scholarship and behavior, and aroused the disgust of many people. On the other hand, their dating model itself is almost a reproduction of the "Qing Discussion" of the Eastern Han Dynasty before the disaster of the party, and the so-called "Four Congs" and "Bada" are almost a copy of "Eight Jun" and "Eight Kitchens".

Yu Gong, such a casual discussion of the government and mutual flaunting seriously affected the operation of the court; For private reasons, many Cao Wei ministers and even Emperor Wei Ming, Cao Rong himself, hated many of the participants. So, it's only a matter of time before these guys finish playing.
