Between Sima Yi and Liu Bei, it is reasonable to say that there is no relationship between them. But their daughters-in-law are inextricably linked. It can be said that it is a relatively close kinship.
Liu Bei's son, Liu Chan, married two daughters of Zhang Fei and Xiahou as empresses.
Xiahou's origins were very special, she was the niece and adopted daughter of the Cao Wei general Xiahou Yuan.
Sima Yi had 9 sons, of which Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were more famous. Sima Shi's original wife, Xiahou Hui, was Xiahou Shang's daughter
Xiahou Shang was Xiahou Yuan's nephew.
In this way, we can roughly figure out what the relationship between these two families is.
Liu Bei's daughter-in-law was Xiahou Yuan's niece and granddaughter, and Sima Yi's daughter-in-law was Xiahou Yuan's niece.
In this way, between Sima Yi and Liu Bei, there were relatives with Xiahou Yuan as the middle liaison. So what should they call each other?
01 Everything is blamed on Zhang Fei for robbing Xiahou Shi as his wife.
Zhang Fei is not screaming to play, and he does everything fiercely. After Cao Cao finished cleaning up Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he fought with Yuan Shao at Guandu.
At this time, Cao Cao was still far from dominating the north, and he had always advocated the attitude of thrift and thrift. He was like this, and his men naturally did not dare to squander it at will.
At the beginning, jian'an was five years old, and Shi Ba, from the thirteenth and fourth of his sister's year, traveled in this county, and traveled to collect trees, which was obtained by Zhang Fei. Fei knew that she was the daughter of a good family, so she thought that she was a wife, and she was the daughter of Liu Chan. When he died at the beginning of the yuan, his wife asked him to be buried. And the hegemony into Shu, Zen and see each other, Shi Zhi said: "Father Qing was killed in the ear between the lines, not the hand blade of my ancestors." Referring to his son, he said, "This nephew of the Xiahou clan is also." "Pampered. --- "Wei Luo"
Among them, Xiahou Yuan, a hardcore fan of Cao Cao, naturally wanted to take the lead in showing this style of life. So their poor family didn't even have firewood, so they let their adopted daughter go up the mountain to collect firewood.
It can be seen from this that the men of the Xiahou family must all be fighting on the battlefield, and the women of the Xiahou family are all very diligent and thrifty. But isn't it dangerous to let a lady from a large family go up the hill to collect firewood?
At that time, the mountain was not contracted, and anyone could enter and exit, which was indeed more dangerous
。 It was at this time that Meng Zhangfei went up the mountain, he took a fancy to Xiahou Shi at a glance, and abducted her without saying a word, at that time Xiahou Shi was only about 13 years old.
Zhang Fei is a person with a wife, and the original wife gave birth to Zhang Bao.
At that time, the original lady should have died, so Xiahou Shi was corrected by Zhang Fei.
It is estimated that Zhang Fei is still good to Xiahou, so Xiahou is also willing to be his wife.
After that, Xiahou also gave birth to two daughters to Zhang Fei. The two daughters became Liu Chan's empresses.
After Cao Cao took Hanzhong, he let Xiahou Yuanzhen guard it. However, Liu Bei was also determined to win here, and in the end, Huang Zhongzhi took Dingjun Mountain and beheaded Xiahou Yuan. When Xiahou heard about it, he was heartbroken and asked Liu Bei to bury Xiahou Yuan.
At that time, Xiahou Yuan would rather starve his young son to death than save the life of his niece, which shows that this person is still very conscientious. He was kind to Xiahou.
02 Sima Shi poisoned his wife Xiahou Hui.
Sima Yi lived long and lived much more. Of course, the two most famous sons are Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, who controlled the government in the late Cao Wei period and almost replaced the rule of the Cao family.
Hou Ya has the degree of knowledge, and whenever the emperor does something, he will prepare for the painting. Emperor Ming of Wei, Emperor Xuan was the most important general, and his sons were also talented. Later, he knew that the emperor was not a pure subject of Wei, and then he was the nephew of the Wei clan, and the emperor was deeply jealous of him. In the second year of the Qinglong Dynasty, he collapsed at the age of twenty-four and buried JunpingLing. --- Book of Jin
However, before that, Sima Yi had to make friends and marry all ethnic groups. Coming from a group of scholars, he realized that only when the network of relations was huge, their family would not have accidents.
Therefore, Sima Shi married Xiahou Hui, and Cao Wei still had more respect for women, basically having a name, such as Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua, Cao Pi's wife Queen Guo, and so on.
There is still a certain emotional basis between Xiahou Hui and Sima Shi, and the two have 5 daughters
。 Xiahou Hui's origin is more special, she is Xiahou Shang's daughter and Xiahou Yuan's niece.
The most important thing is that Xiahou Hui is also a very intelligent woman, often assisting her husband in handling affairs.
Moreover, at a glance, the ambitions of the Sima family for the Cao family were clear.
The Xiahou family and Cao Cao belonged to one family, and the Xiahou family and the Cao family had the same lofty status in the Cao Wei clique
。 Therefore, Xiahou Hui must take into account the conflict of interests between the Xiahou family and the Sima family.
This clever Sima Shi also saw very accurately, he had long realized that his wife was not simple, so the ruthless Sima Shi, in the year of the outbreak of the plague, actually poisoned his daughter-in-law Xiahou Hui.
Xiahou Hui was only 24 years old when he died, in the midst of his youth. Poor her, she fell prey to the struggle for political power. Because he was born into a famous family and was the original wife of Sima Shi, xiahou Hui's death was also a sensation at that time.
03 Sima Yi still called Liu Bei the eldest cousin.
Liu Bei's daughter-in-law was Xiahou Yuan's niece, and Sima Yi's daughter-in-law was Xiahou Yuan's niece. For a moment, we can't seem to confirm what they should call each other, but what is certain is that according to the daughter-in-law's side, Sima Yi and Liu Bei are equal generations.
Xiahou's daughter and Xiahou Hui belong to a cousin relationship, which is still relatively reliable. Whether xiahou and Xiahou Shang are brothers and sisters or not, we cannot investigate clearly.
If they were brothers and sisters, then the relationship between the daughters of Xiahou and Zhang Fei and Xiahou Hui would be even deeper, and Xiahou Hui should call Xiahou Shi her aunt, and Zhang Fei was her uncle.
Shi Zhengxi's general Xiahou Xuan (夏侯玄), Yu Ba (于霸) was concubinage, and Xuan Yu Cao Shuang (曹爽) was his younger brother. and Sima Xuanwang Cao Shuang summoned Xuan and Xuan Laidong. Cao Shuang was cursed and Xuan Youzheng, thinking that the disaster would turn around, and his heart was both fearful; and baxian was at odds with Yongzhou's assassin Guo Huai, and Huai Dai Xuan was in conflict with Zhengxi, and Bayou was uneasy, so he ran to Shu. The south is flat and flat, into the poor valley, the grain is exhausted, the horse is killed on foot, the foot is broken, lying under the rock, making people seek the way, and it is unknown what. Shu hears of it, but it makes people welcome hegemony. --- "Wei Luo"
That is to say, Sima Shi should call Zhang Fei an uncle,
I used the Chinese kinship calculator to check the specific relationship between Liu Bei and Sima Yi, and unfortunately, the answer they gave was that it seemed that you were not very familiar with each other!
I can't accept this answer, and I want to say that since it is a relationship between generations, they are related to each other.
Moreover, Liu Bei was more than ten years older than Sima Yi, or Sima Yi would call Liu Bei a big cousin.
Anyway, there are many relatives and many roads, and the people of these scholar groups will never abandon themselves for having one more relative. Moreover, Liu Bei was still the emperor of the Shu Han Empire, and this wave of recognition of relatives was not a loss.
Summary: After Xiahou Ba fled to Shu Han, it was the same as returning home to recognize his relatives.
Xiahou Ba was xiahou yuan's younger son, and after xiahou yuan was cut down by Shu Han, xiahou ba still served as an official in Cao Wei. However, Cao Wei's power fell by the side and was occupied by the Sima family, and his sister Xiahou Hui was also poisoned by Sima Shi.
Xiahou Ba, who held the military power in his hands, knew that if he did not move, Tie would definitely be killed by the sima family's people, so he chose to surrender to Shu Han. Why would he surrender to the country that killed his father's enemy?
In fact, the reason is very simple, Liu Bei, Huang Zhong, and others who killed his father in that year are all dead, and even Zhuge Liang has died. However, the daughter of her sister Xiahou Shi was now an empress in Shu Han.
In this way, Xiahou Ba went to Shu Han, and the good villain found a relative to rely on. Liu Chan was still more polite, in order to alleviate the revenge of killing his father that year, Liu Chan pointed to his son and told Xiahou Ba that this was the son and nephew of the Xiahou family.
In fact, Neither of Liu Chan's two empresses gave birth to a son and a half daughter to Liu Chan, at least not on record. However, as a concubine, it still makes sense, after all, it is the queen.
