Cao Wei
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu, and Wu fought against each other, staging one wonderful and colorful political, economic, and military struggle after another, with the so-called fierce generals like clouds and strategists like rain. In fact, during this period, there were also many women, and their boldness, insight, and literary talent not only surpassed those of their contemporaries, but even made future generations have to look up.
Today I am here to share with you the story of two strange women.
Xin Xianying
Xin Xianying was the wife of Yang Wei during the Cao Wei dynasty and the daughter of Xin Bi in Cao Wei's service. Her younger brother, Xin Chang, was a member of the army of the general Cao Shuang.
In that year, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang fought for power in the Gaopingling Incident, and Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang's trip to Gaopingling with Cao Fang to close the gates of Luoyang and wanted to force Cao Shuang to surrender his military power.
The general Sima Luzhi led Cao Shuang's soldiers to go out of the city to meet Cao Shuang, so he beckoned Xin Chang to go with him. Xin Chang hesitated and couldn't make up his mind, because going out of the city and not leaving the city would involve the question of what position he was, and in the political struggle, it was difficult for people in the midst of it to distinguish which step they took was right or wrong.
So Xin Chang asked his sister Xin Xianying.
"When the Son of Heaven was out of the city, Taifu closed the city gates, and the people who guarded the city said that this would be detrimental to the imperial court, so what should we do?"
Xin Xianying saw that his brother was so confused, so he made an analysis of the situation and the situation between the two sides:
First, not everything can be predicted, but according to my guess, Sima Yi was forced to do so.
Second, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi were both trusted and important subjects, and Emperor Ming's words holding Sima Yi's arm to instruct him to entrust the aftermath still stayed in the ears of the courtiers, but Cao Shuang's dictatorship was disloyal to the royal family; from an interpersonal point of view, Cao Shuang was not upright. In doing so, Sima Yi wanted nothing more than to kill Cao Shuang.
Third, Cao Shuang was not Sima Yi's opponent.
"Then can I not go out of the city?" Xin Chang listened to his sister say this and didn't want to go out of the city.
Xin Xianying scolded his brother and said, "How can you not go out of the city?" Ordinary people encounter difficulties, all let people pity, you work for others, how can you pick a pick in the middle? To serve for others requires dedication, which is the responsibility of the duty. Moreover, if it is reused, it must serve others. You're not being reused, just go with everyone. ”
Xin Chang listened to his sister's words and then went out of the city with everyone.
Things were indeed as Xin Xianying predicted, Cao Shuang was indeed not Sima Yi's opponent, Cao Shuang was killed, and since Xin Chang was not an important figure in the Cao Shuang group, Sima Yi did not pursue Xin Chang.
This is Xin Xianying's insight into major events.
Xin Xianying is also very accurate in his knowledge.
Zhong would be made the general of Zhenxi and prepare to send troops to the west. Xin Xianying asked his nephew Yang Yi: Why did Zhong Hui send troops to the west?
Yang Yi replied: Prepare for the annihilation of Shu.
"I see this person, who is more indulgent and less restrained in doing things, not like the style of people who have been in the crowd for a long time." I'm afraid he'll have different ambitions. ”
"Auntie still don't say more." Yang Yi interrupted Xin Xianying.
On the eve of Zhong Hui's departure, Zhong Hui wanted Xin Xianying's son Yang Xuan to join the army and cut down Shu together.
Xin Xianying was deeply worried about this, and Yang Xuan asked Sima Zhao not to join the army, but Sima Zhao did not agree.
Xin Xianying warned his son: "Go, but you must pay attention to the fact that a gentleman should be filial to his parents at home, and when he leaves the house, he should guard his own discipline for the country, and he must consider his duties in his position, and do not let his parents worry about being afraid." ”
And also left a sentence that influenced future generations: "Those who can help between the military and the army are only benevolent." This means that what can help you in the army is the two words "benevolence."
Later, Zhong Hui did indeed rebel, but because Xin Xuan obeyed his mother's teachings and did not involve Zhong Hui's affairs, he was implicated.
Of course, Xin Xianying not only looks at the bell accurately, in fact, he has also accurately asserted the future direction of Cao Pi and Cao Wei before.
Xin Xianying later lived to be seventy-nine years old before dying.
Sima Shi
Xu Yun's wife is Nguyen Duc Ru's younger sister. It looks very ugly.
At that time, when Xu Yun married his wife, after the husband and wife performed the prayer ceremony, Xu Yun did not enter the cave room. The Ruan family was very worried, and just at this time, a guest visited Xu Yun. The bride asked the snuggly maid to see who was coming. After looking at it, she said huan fan.
As soon as the bride heard that it was him, she stopped worrying and decided that Huan Fan would definitely persuade Him to enter the room.
Huan Fan said to Xu Yun, "Since the Ruan family is married to an ugly girl, there must be a reason for this, and you must carefully consider it." ”
Xu Yun really went back to the room.
But Xu Yun glanced at the bride's face and prepared to turn around and walk out the door.
The bride thought that if she went out, she would definitely not come back. So he grabbed xu yun's clothes corner and didn't let xu yun go out.
Xu Yun said to the bride, "Women have four virtues, how many virtues do you have?" ”
The bride replied, "I only lack looks, but a scholar has a hundred virtues, how many do you have?" ”
"I have it all." Xu Yun was a bit unashamed.
The bride said, "A hundred virtues, headed by virtue, you are lustful but not virtuous, how can you say that you have them all?" ”
Xu Yun was embarrassed by the bride's words and began to respect his wife.
Xu Yun served as an official, and the officials appointed were all fellow villagers. Emperor Wei Ming had Xu Yun arrested. Xu Yun's wife admonished Xu Yun: "The monarch of Shengming, you can only persuade him with reason, and do not expect to impress him emotionally." ”
When Emperor Ming personally interrogated Xu Yun, Xu Yun answered why he appointed his fellow villagers as officials.
"To select talents for the country, you need to know them. I recommend my fellow villagers to serve as officials, all of which I am familiar with, and His Majesty can only test whether they are competent, and if they are incompetent, I am willing to accept the guilt. ”
Emperor Ming was competent when he was tested, so he released Xu Yun.
Xu Yun may have been caught in a hurry to get on fire, and his clothes were torn, and Emperor Ming rewarded him with a new set of clothes.
At the beginning, when Xu Yun was arrested, the whole family was wailing, and only Xu Yun's wife calmly said: "Don't worry, I will come back in a while, I will make millet porridge and wait for him to come back to eat." ”
Sure enough, Xu Yun was released and returned home not long ago.
Later, Xu Yun was killed by Sima Shi. Xu Yun's disciples hurried to inform Xu Yun's wife, and when they entered the door, they saw Xu Yun's wife weaving cloth, and with an unchanged look, they said to the visitor, "I knew that the result would be like this." ”
The protégés wanted to hide Xu Yun's son. "It's not about the sons." Xu Yun's wife replied. Subsequently, Xu Yun's wife moved with her children to live next to the cemetery.
Sima Shi sent Zhong Hui to inquire about Xu Yun's wife and her two sons, and told Zhong Hui that if Xu Yun's sons were more talented than Xu Yun, they would be arrested.
Xu Allowed the son to ask his mother about this.
Xu Yun's wife replied, "Although you are also very good, but your talent is still not enough, open your heart and talk to Zhong Hui, don't worry about anything, don't be too sad; Zhong will not talk and you will not say; don't ask too many questions about things in the imperial court." ”
Xu Yun's sons followed their mother's instructions and received Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui finished his inquiry and went back to truthfully inform Sima Shi that his two sons could save their lives.
Some people lamented that Xu Yun's wife, her talent is enough to control the bureaucracy, and she can also be a minister, even if she takes a step back, she is more than enough to be a thief.
