In fact, objectively speaking, Sima Yi can also be called a generation of outstanding military politicians, after all, he is the last person to laugh at the Three Kingdoms Era, and he is jealous of the outside and wide, and the generation of Tsukasa Tiger who is jealous of multiple powers is by no means a vain name.
In particular, the popular film and television works some time ago set off a burst of Sima Yi fever, and the Sima Yi in the play was not only good and defeated, but also bowed to his wife Zhang Chunhua, took care of him, and even dared to disobey Cao Pi's order to "conquer Nai Hui" for his wife, so what about the Sima Yi people in history?
Throughout Sima Yi's life, he sat in command of the major battles, captured Meng Da, Ping Liaodong, and confronted Zhuge Liang against Wuzhangyuan, with few defeats. Politically, Cao Pi had great trust in Sima Yi, and not only did he not take Cao Cao's warning that "he would foresee ru family affairs", but on his deathbed, he also told his son Cao Rui that he should "be cautious and do not doubt" for Sima Yi.
If the Cao family had not had such a short life, history's evaluation of Sima Yi might not have been much lower than zhuge Liang's, but with the untimely death of the two emperors Cao Pi and Cao Rui, other founding veterans had also withered away, and there were fewer and fewer people who could restrain Sima Yi in the court, and Sima Yi's fox tail was gradually exposed.
On the occasion of Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang jointly assisted the government, also in order to balance the strength between the powerful ministers and the clan relatives. What was disappointing was that the powerful Cao Shuang flew high, nepotism, and squeezed out the talents, which caused dissatisfaction among many officials and eunuchs in the State of Wei, who were extremely disappointed in Cao Shuang, so they pinned their hopes on Sima Yi to support the Great Wei State.
Sima Yi dared to risk death to launch the gaopingling change, on the one hand, he was sure that Cao Shuang had no great ambitions, and the second was also the heart of the people, cao Shuang, who was in charge at that time, was unpopular, and Sima Yi pretended to be an innocent little white rabbit to provoke sympathy. The change of Gao Pingling can be said to be a major node in Sima Yi's blackening, and who knows the truth or falsity of his life when he died?
No matter how cao shuang behaved, after all, he was also a relative of the Cao clan, and the ministers who supported Sima Yi's mutiny only hoped that Cao Shuang could hand over the power in his hands and retire. Therefore, Sima Yi swore to Luo Shui that he would never harm the life of Cao Shuang's family. Cao Shuang believed it to be true and planned to go back to be a rich man, but if he did not want to go back, he was directly destroyed by Sima Yi's regiment. In this matter, Sima Yi betrayed his faith, and even the old minister who had sworn to guarantee Sima Yi was indignant, you know, no matter how much Cao Shuang bullied Sima Yi, he did not kill.
If political treachery was done by that generation in the depths of Sima Yi, let's take a look at how Sima Yi took good care of his wife. Sima Yi had refused Cao Cao's conquest in his early years, not out of the dignity of being a Han chen, but just waiting for the right time, saying that he had rheumatism, could not walk, and lay at home reading.
The ancients had the habit of drying books, one day Sima Yi also let people put books outside to dry, suddenly the wind was blowing, lightning and thunder, it rained heavily, Sima Yi was afraid of the book getting wet, and hurriedly got up to collect the book. It happened that this scene was looked at squarely by a maid, and if she went to inform, Sima Yi would not say that he would become an official, and his life would be difficult to protect. As a result, this unfortunate maid was secretly executed by Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua, which can be said to be a life-saving grace for Sima Yi.
The rich and noble did not forget to spoil their wives, how did Sima Yi treat his wife after the power fell to the opposition? Needless to say, the matter of concubines was a very normal thing in ancient times, and Sima Yi was not willing to pay more attention to zhang Chunhua, who was old and decrepit in his later years. Not only that, one day Zhang Chunhua came to visit the sick Sima Yi, but did not expect that Sima Yi, instead of appreciating it, broke out and scolded: "Dead old woman, who is happy to see you!" Zhang Chunhua was so angry that he went on a hunger strike.
Sima Shi and Sima Zhao couldn't bear to see it, and they also went on hunger strike with their mother, so Sima Yi went to persuade Zhang Chunhua to admit his mistake and avoid Zhang Chunhua from starving to death. If everyone thinks that Sima Yi is a conscience attack, it is a big mistake, and afterwards Sima Yi said, Ahem! Dead old woman is nothing, I am afraid that my two sons are hungry.
