Chapter 71 The drama is on the body

"Sima Yi's courage is not for fun, from Cao Cao's reign, to invite him, he is afraid of being killed, and it can be seen that this person is timid if he pretends to be sick, this is also a drama master, in my era, this acting skills, it is not an exaggeration to win an actor."

"The first time he pretended to be sick was when Cao Cao was just in power, at that time Sima Yi was also an official, and he looked down on Cao Cao's background a little, and Cao Cao wanted to summon him, but he didn't dare to offend Cao Cao, so he pretended to have wind paralysis."

"Cao Cao suspected that Sima Yi intended to shirk it, so he sent an assassin to break into Sima Yi's bedroom late at night to investigate, and sure enough, he saw Sima Yi lying upright on the bed."

The assassin still didn't believe it, so he pulled out his saber and put it on Sima Yi's body, pretending to be going to cut it down.

He thought that if Sima Yi hadn't been paralyzed, he would have jumped up in fright.

This Sima Yi really has a hand, he only stared at the assassin, and his body did not move. The assassin had to believe it, put away his knife and reported to Cao Cao. ”

Cao Cao: It really lied to me, I believed it at the time.

Liu Bang: Just this performance, don't say it's you, I would think it's really sick.

Qin Shi Huang: This is really pretending.

Qianlong: Admire! Ha ha! I really admire this one!

Sima Yi knew that Cao Cao refused to let him go, for fear of sending someone to kill him, and after a period of time, people spread the news that the wind paralysis had been cured. When Cao Cao summoned him again, he would not refuse. ”

"The second time the illness is the struggle between Cao Shuang and Sima Yi's rights, during the period of Emperor Wei Shaodi, Cao Shuang was the general, Sima Yi was the captain, the two of them each led 3,000 troops, patrolling the palace, although Cao Shuang said that it was a royal family, but in terms of ability and qualifications, it was far from Sima Yi."

At the beginning, he had to respect Sima Yi, and always listened to Sima Yi's opinion when he had something, but when the power was in his hands, his ambition swelled, and the people around him said, "The power cannot be distributed to outsiders", Cao Shuang was right when he listened, so he paid attention to taking Sima Yi's military power away. ”

Then, Cao Shuang arranged important positions for his henchmen and brothers. Sima Yi saw it in his eyes, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not interfere at all. ”

"Cao Shuang has great power in his hands, so he is looking for fun and living a ridiculous life, in order to establish his prestige, he also led his troops to attack Shu Han, but he was defeated by the Shu army and almost wiped out."

Sima Yi didn't say it on the surface, but secretly had his own plans. Fortunately, he was indeed old, so he deduced that he was sick and did not go to court. ”

"Cao Shuang heard that Sima Yi was sick, which was exactly what he wanted, but after all, he was a little uneasy, and he wanted to inquire whether Tai Fu Sheng was really sick or fake."

"Cao Shuang sent his confidant Li Sheng to investigate the situation."

Li Sheng arrived at Sima Yi's bedroom, only to see Sima Yi lying on the bed, and the two maids next to him were waiting for him to eat porridge, he didn't use his hands to take the bowl, only put his mouth to the bowl to drink, and without a few sips, the porridge flowed down the corners of his mouth, flowing all over his chest and clothes. Li Sheng watched from the side and felt that Sima Yi was really sick. ”

Li Sheng also said a few words to Sima Yi at that time, Sima Yi couldn't hear clearly, Li Sheng said a few more words, but Sima Yi still couldn't hear clearly, "I also said a word, I'm old, I'm old, I'm deaf, I really can't hear clearly!" "Just such a sentence made Li Sheng pity Sima Yi even more."

When Li Sheng told Cao Shuang about this: "Taifu is only one breath away, so you don't need to worry." ”

Cao Shuang listened, not to mention how happy he was.

Just when Cao Fang, the young emperor of Wei, went outside the city to pay respects to the tombs of his ancestors, Cao Shuang, his brothers, and cronies all followed. Since Sima Yi was very sick, of course no one invited him to go. ”

"Who knows that when Cao Shuang and his gang come out of the imperial city. Taifu Sima Yi's illness is all cured. He put on his armor, shook his spirits, took his two sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, led the soldiers and horses to occupy the city gate and the arsenal, and falsely passed on the edict of the empress dowager to remove Cao Shuang from his position as a general. ”

Cao Cao: For this one, I Cao admire!

Li Zhi: Haha! 666!

Li Longji: Really six!

Zhu Di: What an old treacherous and cunning!

"It was also through the elimination of Cao Shuang's forces that Sima Yi and his descendants were able to continue to control Cao Wei's government, thus completing the goal of replacing Cao Wei in the Western Jin Dynasty."

"The establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty is indeed inseparable from Sima Yi's intrigues, this Wei people are also short-lived, Cao Pi's descendants died early after eight years of reign, but Sima Yi lived to be 73 years old before he died."

Cao Pi: If I had this lifespan, I would have disintegrated the Tu tribe a long time ago.

Wu Zetian: This lifespan is not comparable to ordinary people.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Your lifespan is not short, hey, it would be good if our family's lifespan could be so long.

Although Sima Yi lived a long life, but only the right to have, he did not usurp the throne, it was Sima Zhao sent troops to attack Shu, Emperor Wei named him the "Duke of Jin" with ten counties such as Bingzhou, and after destroying Shu, he became the king of Jin. Later, his son Sima Yan inherited his title and forced Emperor Wei to make himself emperor, and the country was called "Jin", and the capital was Luoyang. ”

"During the Wei period, because of its remote location, insufficient population, insufficient combat potential, and lack of talents in the later period, coupled with the corruption and incompetence of the monarch Liu Chan, Sima Zhao destroyed Shu, Liu Chan surrendered, and Shu had to be destroyed."

"Decades after Sima Yan ascended the throne, he destroyed Sun Wu to end the situation of the Three Kingdoms and recreate a brief unification, ending the division of the Three Kingdoms, a total of 4 emperors, and 51 years of national Zuo."

"But this Sima Yan is not a wise man, and there are a lot of problems with his policies."

"When the Western Jin Dynasty was first established, the external situation was that a large number of nomadic tribes moved inward, and the foreign tribes in Guanzhong and Liangzhou accounted for half of the local population, and these foreign tribes were almost taken in as slaves and maids by the Shi clan."

After the destruction of Wu, the whole country of the Western Jin Dynasty was immersed in the atmosphere of luxury and corruption. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty was born in a family, and his family has long formed a huge elite group after a long period of development, with a dark political style, corruption and bribery, which laid the groundwork for the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. ”

"After the Western Jin Dynasty unified the country, Sima Yan did take a series of economic measures, but these measures were all disadvantages."

"The main example is the land policy at that time, in the Wei period, the implementation of the tuntian system, mainly that the state out of the land, farmers and the army to cultivate, the harvest is divided proportionally, the tuntian system can be said to have played a huge role in Cao Cao's unification of the north."

"In the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan ordered the abolition of the tuntian system and introduced the field occupation system, which means that men can occupy a maximum of 70 mu and women 30 mu, of which 50 mu pay taxes, and the other 20 mu you can play casually, so that farmers can pay taxes, labor pressure is reduced a lot, natural enthusiasm is greatly increased, and the economic population will go up."
