Sima Yi made a will: Future generations are not allowed to sweep my grave, and after 1769, I learned that he was an old adulterer
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are countless wonderful characters, each character with a distinct personality, almost can be singled out to shoot a separate TV series, the first two years is a "Military Division Alliance" and "Tiger Howling Dragon Yin" released, which is to tell the most exciting role in the Three Kingdoms, he is Sima Yi.
Many people have wondered that Sima Yi's scheming is not as good as Zhuge Liang's, and his mind is not as good as Cao Cao's, in the first half of the Three Kingdoms, it is almost a soy sauce-like existence, but what people do not expect is that Sima Yi became the last laugher in the Three Kingdoms, until the Western Jin Dynasty in 280 AD.
In 251 AD, Sima Yi died in Luoyang at the age of 73, which is one of the longest-lived people in the Three Kingdoms, but Sima Yi made a very strange will, that is, the descendants of the future generations are not allowed to visit their own graves. It was not until after 1769 that Sima Yi's old treacherous monster was understood. At the same time, it has to be said that sima Yi was in power in the State of Wei.
Since the deaths of Cao Cao and Cao Pi, the State of Wei has become the domain of the Sima family, and Cao Pi's descendants Cao Fang and Cao Shuang have no personal ability, to put it mildly, in the military, they really have to rely on Sima Yi.
But at that time, Cao Fang was a little unhappy with Sima Yi in his heart, after all, at that time, Wei Guo was the world of the Cao family, but now he relied on Sima Yi, and how Cao Fang viewed Sima Yi in his heart was naturally self-evident.
The later fate of the State of Wei is naturally self-evident, if the emperor loses his power, it is only a matter of time before the ministers come to usurp power, so under the careful planning of Sima Yi, Cao Fang and Cao Shuang were deposed successively, and this historical event is the "gaopingling change" in the three kingdoms.
Sima Yi did not pay a price in this matter, on the contrary, the price he paid was really not small, in order to seize the power of the State of Wei, Sima Yi was not only a former ally, as well as those who secretly opposed him, all of them were slaughtered by him, from what Sima Yi did during this time, it is not difficult to understand why Sima Yi did not let his descendants come to visit the grave, he was worried that his descendants would be retaliated against, and he was also worried about retaliation for his grave.
Sima Yi was far from being a good man, but he was a really wise bad guy, or rather, he was a delicate villain.
One thing worth saying is that Cao Cao was a very good person, and once said to people: If a person like Sima Yi is not used for himself, he must be eradicated. Unfortunately, Cao Cao did not see this day, and on the contrary, his own State of Wei was also captured by Sima Yi.
The reason why "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is so wonderful is precisely because its description of the various forms of sentient beings can be described as reaching three points, and each character has its own unique character charm, far from being a simple paper person.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sima Yi can be regarded as a thick black scholar, good at forbearance, and not afraid of being insulted, which are all necessary characteristics for those who have become great things, so Sima Yi has always been named "trickster" and "ambitionist", but in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, he can laugh to the end is the king, who cares if you are an imperfect person?
People will only remember imperfect winners, no one will remember perfect losers, and losers will not be worthy of the word "perfect."
It is worth saying that Sima Yi's descendants really have to thank Sima Yi, the "notorious" ancestor, and some historians have commented that the existence of Sima Yi has blocked too many insults for his incompetent descendants, which is enough to make people feel the three-dimensional character of Sima Yi.
As we all know, the Three Kingdoms is a legend, and this is also one of the reasons why "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very popular, everyone is a living character, without any face, I think this is also an important reason why "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be widely circulated.
