Xiahou Xuan had a heavy name in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but because of his sensitive origins, he was forced to get involved in a power struggle during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and was eventually falsely killed by Sima Shi.
Xiahou Xuan's reputation was extremely high, with the "New Sayings of the World" calling him "Yushu", and the Book of Jin calling him "as loud as the sun and the moon"; even Chen Shou, who cherished ink like gold, admired his "grace and hongji" and praised his style of a famous scholar.
Emperor Ming of Wei sent his brother Mao to sit with Xiahou Xuan, who was then known as the Qianye (蒹葭葭) leaning on the jade tree. - "The World Speaks a New Language"
(Pei) Kai has the lesson of knowing people, tasting Xiahou Xuanyun: "Su Su is like entering the Temple of the Emperor, Lang Lang but see the ceremonial instrument." "When the eyes of the people are too early (玄字太初), they are as loud as the sun and the moon. --The Book of Jin, Biography of Pei Kai
Due to the extensive marriage between the Wei dynasty families, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Shuang and Sima Shi had both blood and in-laws at the same time, resulting in a very complicated political stance.
Although the "Xuan Biography" and related historical sources say that Xiahou Xuan was killed for participating in a conspiracy against Sima Shi, considering the special background of the times and Sima Shi's health (with one year of life left), it can be seen that Xiahou Xuan may not have participated in this plot.
The scholar Lu Jianrong, in his article "The Reform School at the Time of Wei and Jin and Its Enemies", believes that Xiahou Xuan did not participate in it.
In fact, no matter how Xiahou Xuan avoided disasters and protected himself, his death was an inevitable event. Sima Shi's health was worrying at that time (254), and he had to eliminate Xiahou Xuan, a political opponent with both seniority and strength, before his death (255) to ensure the smooth progress of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
This article wants to record the beginning and end of Xiahou Xuan's death, discuss its historical background and behind-the-scenes logic.

The curse of fame
The Xiahou clan was a fairly complex family, and although they were "married to the Cao clan", they also paid attention to intermarriage with other gate valve clans of the same era.
Xiahou and Cao, the world is a marriage, so Huan, Yuan, Ren, Hong, Xiu, Shang, Zhen, etc., and pro-old heart, precious than the times. --Book of Wei, Volume IX
Xiahou Yimen flourished in the Wei and Jin dynasties
Unlike the intuitive impression, the Great Emperor of the Xiahou clan did not fall into silence after the fall of the Wei Dynasty. His descendants were also once powerful in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, and were called "extravagant in the time".
(Xiahou) Wei Zi Ji Quan, Ren Xia. Gui Li Jing, Yan ErZhou Thorn History. ZiJun, and state assassination history. Cizhuang, Huainan Taishou. Zhuang Zizhan, the character XiaoRuo, to the Talent Bo article, to nanyang phase, scattered riding changshi. (Xiahou) Zhuang, empress dowager of Jin Jingyang. Thus a luxury flourished. --"Wei Jin Shiyu"
Xiahou Yuan's son Xiahou He (夏侯和), not only in the Western Jin Dynasty, bai Henan Yin (Gyeonggi governor), but also conspired with the powerful minister Jia Chong to intervene in the succession of Emperor Wu of Jin.
In the beginning, the (Wu) Emperor Was sick, and the imperial court was interested in (Sima You). Marquis Yin of Henan and Jia (Jia) said: "The second son-in-law of Qing, who is close to the ear and so on, is a liren who is a lide (referring to Sima You). "I don't answer. --The Book of Jin, The Biography of Jia Chong
In view of this, even after Xiahou Ba's rebellion into the Shu Han Dynasty (249), his contemporaries were not purged, but only dealt with Xiahou Ba's one, and the rest of the Fang branch officials were as old as before (see Wei Jin Shiyu). Compared with the two, Xiahou Xuan's inhuman treatment of the "Yi Three Tribes" was particularly eye-catching.
(Xiahou Ba) died in Shu. With (Xiahou) Yuan's old xun pardoned the bully, and migrated to Lelang County. --The Book of Wei and the Biography of Xiahou Yuan
Especially considering that Xiahou Xuan and Sima Shi still had an in-law relationship (Sima Shi was Xiahou Xuan's brother-in-law), this cruel treatment was even more paradoxical.
From a deep point of view, the fundamental reason why Xiahou Xuan's lineage was completely destroyed was that his reputation was too high, far superior to that of the Xiahou clan of the same era, so he was bound to die.
As early as his youth, Xiahou Xuan was the leader of the mingshi. At that time, Xun Qi's disciples liked to form parties and socialize and discuss the government of the qing dynasty, which was called "flashy", and Xiahou Xuan was the leading figure among the flashy children, so much so that he was worshipped as the suzerain.
He Yan used his material to argue between noble relatives. Deng Biao was good at being flexible, and he joined the disciples, and he was famous in Lu Yan (referring to the people), while Xiahou Xuan was known as a noble courtier, rarely with a heavy name, as the suzerainty. --"Fu Zi"
Sima Shi was also among them at that time, traveling with He Yan, Xiahou Xuan and others, and was well aware of Xiahou Xuan's political influence.
At the beginning, when Xiahou Xuan and He Yan were famous, Sima Jingwang (Sima Shi) also predicted it. --"Wei's Spring and Autumn"
When Xiahou Xuan and He Yan were famous, Sima Shi also predicted it
As an adult, Xiahou Xuan started as a Yellow Gate Attendant. The Yellow Gate Waiter And the Loose Rider Waiter are the palace prohibitions and the disciples of the family who have been trained in the palace, and they are also the sons of the family who have been appointed by Cao Pi, and it can be known that their future is immeasurable. Although Xiahou Xuan was later degraded for offending Cao Rui's brother-in-law Mao Zeng, he still served as the overseer of Yulin and held the post of Guardian.
The people of the world, who want to make all the people first ride and then go out of the prefectures and counties, is the original intention of me (Cao Pi). --"Wei Mingchen Song"
(Xuan) is less well-known, and the weak crown is a loose riding yellow door waiter. Taste into the see, and sit side by side with the empress brother Mao Zeng, xuan shame, displeasure with the form of the color. Emperor Ming hated it and moved to yulin. --The Book of Wei and the Biography of Xiahou Xuan
On the contrary, Sima Shi of the same era was deposed and imprisoned for being involved in the flashy case, and did not appear again until after Cao Rui's death (239). In view of this, when Sima Shi was forty-six years old, he was still ridiculed by the Wu general Zhuge Ke as "weak".
Sima Yi first attacked Wang Ling, and continued to kill himself, and his son (referring to Sima Shi) was weak and weak, and he was full of responsibilities. --Book of Wu, Biography of Zhuge Ke
The Jin Shu JingDi Ji records Sima Shi's eunuchs from the Jing Chu dynasty (237-239), and according to the Xuan Emperor Ji, it can be known that it was after cao Rui's death in the third year of the Jing Chu (239). Sima Shi was already thirty-two at the time, and in the same year, together with his eight-year-old brother Sima Jun, he served as a regular attendant on a loose horse, and his age seemed extremely abnormal.
And the King of Qi, that is, the throne, with (Sima Yi) Shizi (Sima Yi) as the regular attendant of the scattered horses, three of his sons as the Marquis of Qi, and four as the Knight Lieutenants. --Book of Jin Xuandi Ji
Sima Jun, five or six years old, was able to count, the King of Wei (as the King of Qi) was the emperor, and the eight-year-old Jun was a scattered attendant. --"Jin Zhugong Zan"
In the era of Emperor Ming of Wei, a large number of Xun Gui's sons were deposed because of their "glitz", and it was inferred from the circle of Friends of He Yan, Xiahou Xuan, and others that Sima Shi was among them. I have previously written separately on this issue and will not expand on this article.
Nanyang He Yan, Deng Biao, Li Sheng, Pei Guo Ding Mi, Dongping Bi Rail Xian had a reputation, and when they were interested, Emperor Ming was deposed by his glitz. --The Biography of Wei Shu and Cao Shuang
During the reign of King Qi, Xiahou Xuan was promoted by his cousin Cao Shuang and successively held prominent positions such as the General of scattered horses, the Middle Protector, and the General of Zhenxi. During this period, he successively planned political and military operations such as the Zhengyi Reform system and the Battle of Luogu, although the results were not satisfactory, but still caused a greater impact on society.
In particular, the reform of the system was initiated, with the program of restricting door valves, strengthening centralization, and cracking down on extravagance, which was highly in line with the political needs of the time. The relevant details are well documented in the Xuan Zhuan and will not be repeated here.
With the practice of Xiahou Xuan's political ideas, his reputation also grew stronger.
At the funeral of Sikong Zhao, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao's brothers were present, and although Xiahou Xuan "arrived later", he caused a sensation among the courtiers, "hundreds of guests, Xian Yue and greeted", and snatched the Limelight of the Sima brothers.
Sikong Zhao Yuxue, the brotherhood of the Great General (Sima Shi) will be buried, the guests will be hundreds, (Xiahou) Xuan shi will arrive, the guests will be greeted by Xian Xian, and the great general is evil. --"Wei's Spring and Autumn"
Xiahou Xuan's fame was so high that it could not even be overshadowed by the bloody background of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
After Xiahou Xuan's death, although he bore the notoriety of "plotting rebellion", he was still used as a benchmark for famous scholars by Wei Jinshi and competed to emulate it.
When Zhong Hui entered Shu, he compared Jiang Wei to Xiahou Xuan as a praise; the Western Jin Dynasty's heavy ministers and Yu also admired Xiahou Xuan's personality; And Shang Shu Ling Leguang had been promoted by Xiahou Xuan when he was a child, so he was promoted by Mao Cai and rose to the top.
(Zhong Hui) said of Chang Shi Du: "(Jiang) Bojobi middle-earth celebrities, (Zhuge Gongxiu), (Xiahou) Taichu could not win." "--Book of Shu, Biography of Jiang Wei"
(and) Yu rarely has a style, and His uncle Xiahou Xuanzhi is a man and is thick and self-respecting. --The Book of Jin and the Tale of Zhao
Wang Rong was the Assassin of Jingzhou, and Wen (樂) was widely tasted by Xiahou Xuan, but was a Xiucai. --Jin Shu Le Guang Zhuan
Zhong will make Jiang Wei the Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Zhi of Middle-earth
Until the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xiahou Xuan's reputation remained undiminished, and the court even compared Yu Liang, a heavy minister with power to the opposition, to Xiahou Xuan, without the slightest shyness.
(Yu Liang) style is neat, moving by etiquette, inside the boudoir, not solemn, people may think that Xiahou Taichu (Xiahou Xuan), Chen Changwen (Chen Qun) of Lunye. --The Biography of Yu Liang of jin
In a word, Xiahou Xuan's fame was supreme, and he was unique in the world, which had already affected the rule of the Sima brothers. Therefore, Xiahou He, Xiahou Wei and others could be spared, and even the officials were as old as before; Xiahou Xuan was bound to die.
Why didn't Xiahou Xuan enter Shu
At the time of Cao Shuang's fall (249), Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Ba, and others were leading troops in Yongliang, and all of them were overseeing Guanzhong.
At that time, Sima Yi was committed to "building a family gate", so he recruited local overseers who were close to Cao Shuang to return to Beijing, with the intention of relieving military power and restricting it.
Interestingly, Xiahou Xuan, who was related to Cao Shuang, accepted the conscription and returned to Luoyang; instead, Xiahou Ba, who was not related to Cao Shuang, abandoned the official and fled and died in Yizhou.
(Cao) Shuang Jie, (Sima Yi) Zheng (Xiahou) Xuan as the Great Hongxu, several years of migration too often. --The Book of Wei and the Biography of Xiahou Xuan
(Xiahou) was accused of cao shuang and (Xiahou) Xuan was recruited, thinking that the disaster would turn around. - "Wei Luo"
This necessitates a conversation about the behavioral logic of Erxia Hou.
Xiahou Xuan's biological mother was Cao Zhen's sister, Cao Shuang's sister, so Xiahou Xuan was a younger brother to Cao Shuang, that is, a cousin. According to the fall of Cao Shuang, Xiahou Xuan was bound to have no good end.
Xuan, Shuang's sister-in-law also. --The Book of Wei and the Biography of Xiahou Xuan
However, it is interesting to note that Xiahou Xuan's sister was also Sima Shi's main chambermate, so he was sima shi's brother-in-law, that is, his brother-in-law.
Although Xiahou Hui died as early as the second year of Qinglong, and the Book of Jin claimed that he was killed by Sima Shi, the signs at that time were unknown (otherwise Sima Shi would have been executed by Cao Rui). Xiahou Xuan was still nominally related to Sima Shi.
Empress Jinghuai Xiahou, Zhen Hui, Zi Yuanrong, Pei Guo Ren Ren also. Father (Xiahou) Shang, general of Wei Zhengnan. --The Book of Jin, Biography of Empress Jinghuai
At the same time, Sima Shi had three wives, namely Xiahou Shangnu, the general of Zhennan, Wu Qiannu, and Taishan Taishou Yangwei. However, wu and yang have no fertility, only the Xiahou family has a birth record, and there are five daughters, it can be known that the husband and wife relationship should be good.
(Xiahou) had no males and gave birth to five daughters. --The Book of Jin, Biography of Empress Jinghuai
Xiahou Hui was the fifth daughter of Sima Shi's teacher
Probably confident in his relationship with Sima Shi, Xiahou Xuan gave up his resistance, tied his hands, and returned to Luoyang to become a great hongqi and became a high-ranking political mascot.
However, Xiahou Xuan returned to Luoyang only to find that Sima Yi was highly virtuous and prestigious, or could not allow him to die, but Sima Shi's brothers, whose prestige was not as good as Sima Yi's, could not tolerate himself.
(Xiahou) Xuan sighed, "Shizong (Xu Yunzi Shizong), why didn't Qing see anything?" This person (referring to Sima Yi) can still meet me as a young man in the Tong family, and ZiYuan (Sima Shi) and Zi Shang (Sima Zhao) are not tolerant of me. ——"Wei's Spring and Autumn"
Xiahou Xuan was a general of Zhenxi and the governor of Yongliang, who held the military and political power in Guanzhong, and he was willing to tie his hands and capture it, so Xiahou Ba, as an aide-de-camp, was naturally even less capable of setting off a storm, so he simply abandoned his official and fled to Shu Han.
Xiahou Xuan's tandem problem with Li Feng and Zhang Ji
The Book of Wei states that Xiahou Xuan conspired with Li Feng and Zhang Ji to kill Sima Shi first, and then Xiahou Xuan would serve as a general to revitalize the Wei dynasty. However, in most of the surviving historical materials, it is difficult to see direct evidence of Xiahou Xuan's conspiracy with Zhang Ji and Li Feng.
Chen Shou stated in the Book of Wei that Xiahou Xuan was unaware of it from beginning to end, and that it was only because Li Feng was "selfish in Xuan" that he was implicated.
Zhongshu ordered Li Feng to be treated by the general Sima Jingwang(司馬景王), but his selfish heart was in (Xiahou) Xuan, so he married the empress dowager's father, Guanglu Dafu Zhang Ji, and plotted to assist Xuan in government. --The Book of Wei and the Biography of Xiahou Xuan
Even the Book of Jin, the Chronicle of the Jing Emperor, states that Xiahou Xuan did not participate in the plot, and that this incident was purely caused by Zhang and Li Tuojia.
Tianzi, together with Zhongshu Ling Li Feng, his stepfather Guanglu Dafu Zhang Ji, the Yellow Gate Supervisor Su Shuo, the Yongning Bureau's Ling Ledun, and liu Baoxian, a servant of The Redundant Servant, plotted to assist Emperor Xuan of The Taichang Xiahou (referring to Sima Shi). --Book of Jin, Chronicle of the Jing Emperor
Xiahou Xuan participated in the rebellion, and only the relevant records exist in Wang Shen's Book of Wei. However, given that Wang Shendang was attached to sima shi and was good at fabricating historical materials, "most of them are timely and secretive, and they are not actual records" (see "The True History of Stone"), the credibility of his records is very questionable.
However, even Wang Shen's Book of Wei only indicates that Xiahou Xuan knew about it in advance, and does not record Xiahou Xuan's involvement in direct planning.
(Li) Feng fumiged to inform (Xiahou) Xuan and (Zhang) of the arrest. He and Feng were allied and conspired to start a rebellion. --Wang Shen, Book of Wei
Judging from their origins, li feng and Zhang Ji plotted to kill Sima Shi, and there were sufficient reasons. Both of them were xun qi's sons, and their fathers had been promoted by the Cao clan; at the same time, both of them were cao's in-laws and had deep feelings for Wei.
Li Feng was the son of The Wei Wei (尉尉 李義), and Li Feng's son Li Tao (李韬) was cao rui's son-in-law; Zhang Ji was the son of Zhang Jie (張叡) the son of Zhang Jie (張叡), the assassin of Liangzhou, and Zhang Ji's daughter was also the empress of Emperor Cao Fang of Wei.
(Li) Feng thought that he was in a secret, and Xi (Li) Tao also gave the matter to the Marquis of Shangqi, princess Shangqi, who had internal and external weights. --Wang Shen, Book of Wei
(Zhang) Zhongshu Lang moved to Dongguan Taishou slightly. Jia Pingzhong, the female is (Cao Fang) Empress, who worships Guanglu Dafu and is specially advanced. --Book of Wei, Zhang Jiechuan-Appendix Biography
Li Feng, Zhang Ji, and others plotted to depose Sima Shi
Li and Zhang, both of whom have been favored for generations, also have a relationship with the imperial family. At that time, Wei Room had difficulties, and it was reasonable that they all had full motivation to kill and become benevolent, and sacrificed their lives for righteousness.
On the contrary, Xiahou Xuan, although he was also related to the Cao clan (his mother was Cao Zhen's sister), xiahou Xuan took the initiative to give up resistance after the death of his cousin Cao Shuang, and cooperated with Sima Yi's conscription, showing a certain degree of obedience.
Father (Xiahou) Shang, general of Wei Zhengnan. Mother Cao, lord of Wei Deyang Township. --The Book of Jin, Biography of the Later Concubines
After Xiahou Xuan returned to Luoyang, he neither befriended his vassals nor kept concubines; he guarded the door and was indisputable with the world, and the degree of peace was similar to that of Jia Xu in the past.
(Xiahou) Xuan returned from the west, did not pay personnel, did not store Huayan. - "Wei Luo"
(Jia Xu) close the door to self-defense, retire selflessly, marry men and women, and do not marry high doors. --"Wei Shu Jia Xu Biography"
In this context, Xiahou Xuan had no motive for committing the crime. It is true that he was dissatisfied with Sima Shi's monopoly, but it was also true that he gave up resistance. Judging from the existing historical data, after Xiahou Xuan returned to Luoyang, he realized that the Sima family could not tolerate himself, so he tried his best to protect himself.
During his house arrest in Luoyang (249-254), Xiahou Xuan never complained publicly, but was only "unhappy".
Xuan Sugui, deposed with (Cao) Shuang, is often unhappy... Xuan is a heavy person in the sea, and he is a great responsibility, and when he is young, he is strong and will never be abolished. --Wang Shen, Book of Wei
When Xiahou Xuan was falsely imprisoned and Zhong Yu, a court lieutenant, fabricated a confession overnight on the orders of Sima Shi in order to "match the matter", Xiahou Xuan was only "jaw-dropping" and did not refute it.
(Zhong) Yu is known as a famous man, and he is indomitable, and the prison is in the end, and the night is a rhetoric, so that it is consistent with the (rebellion) thing, and the drooling is to show the mystery. Metaphysical, jaw-dropping. --"Wei Jin Shiyu"
Until the time of "cutting the East Market", he still "did not change the color", revealing the arrogance of looking down on life and death, and maintaining the style of a celebrity. It can be seen that after Xiahou Xuan was lured back to Luoyang, he had already given up his illusions and anticipated his fate.
Sima Shi's health problems
Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuan were related by marriage, and the two befriended each other in their youth, and they also promoted each other when they reached adulthood. For example, Sima Shi was able to serve as a central protector, most likely thanks to the recommendation of his predecessor Xiahou Xuan, the middle protector.
(Xiahou) Xuan moved, and Sima Jingwang served as a protector. The generals of the President of the Protectorate army, elected as the chief military attaché. - "Wei Luo"
Therefore, Sima Shi fabricated evidence that Xiahou Xuan would be put to death, and even ignored Sima Zhao's intercession, which seemed particularly unreasonable.
In fact, this is related to Sima Shi's health.
Xiahou Xuan was falsely murdered in February of the sixth year of Jiaping (254), and Sima Shi died in the first month of the second year of The Reign (255), only one year apart.
Note: Wei Jiaping changed the yuan to zhengyuan in the sixth year, that is, the first year of the zhengyuan.
Arrest Xuan, Ji, etc., all of them yi three tribes. In March, it was a satire on the deposed Empress Zhang of the Heavenly Son. --Book of Jin, Chronicle of the Jing Emperor
Leap Moon (Sima Shi) was sick and made Emperor Wen president of the army. Xinhai, collapsed in Xuchang, at the age of forty-eight. In February, the emperor's funeral reached Xuchang. --Book of Jin, Chronicle of the Jing Emperor
The Book of Jin jingdi ji states that Sima Shi's cause of death was that he was plundered by Wen Duan, and was "shocked and stunned". Although this kind of record is quite suspicious of strange powers and chaotic gods, no matter from what point of view, Sima Shi has an eye disease, and it is certain that he is terminally ill.
The emperor has a tumor disease, so the doctor cut it. (Text) The duck came to attack also, and was shocked. --Book of Jin, Chronicle of the Jing Emperor
Sima Shi was sick and made Sima Zhao president of the army
In other words, when Xiahou Xuan was killed (254), Sima Shi's health was already very unsatisfactory, and there was a risk of aggravation of his illness or even violent death at any time.
Sima Shi had no daughters and no children, and his only son was still inherited from Sima Zhao, and he was still in his old age, so the throne could only pass to Sima Zhao. The problem was that Sima Zhao's talent and psychological quality were not as good as his brother's, for example, on the eve of the change of Gao Pingling, Sima Shi "slept as usual", and Sima Zhao "could not sit down", and made a judgment from a high level.
Emperor Xuan's general Cao Shuang (曹爽) was a secret strategist who was alone with Emperor (Sima Shi) and Emperor Wen (Sima Zhao) Fu Zhiye. He told him that the emperor was sleeping as usual, and Emperor Wen could not sit down. --Book of Jin, Chronicle of the Jing Emperor
To make matters worse, the relationship between Sima Zhao and Xiahou Xuan was also very close, and when Xiahou Xuan was imprisoned, Sima Zhao also found his brother to "weep and please". This undoubtedly intensified Sima Shi's killing of Xiahou Xuan.
(Xiahou) Xuan Zhizhi also, the Wei general Sima Wenwang (Sima Zhao) drooled and asked for it. --"Wei's Spring and Autumn"
In the context of Sima Shi's deteriorating health, Sima Zhao's talent was not as good as his brother's, Xiahou Xuan's reputation was the best among his peers, and according to the relationship between Sima Zhao and Xiahou Xuan, after Sima Shi's death, Xiahou Xuan was likely to make another appearance.
Once Xiahou Xuan, who was both a scholar and a warrior and a well-known person, revived, it was bound to hinder the progress of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it was even possible to have branches and lead to the collapse of the Sima family.
Therefore, in order to never have any trouble, Sima Shi killed his brother-in-law like a human being, and also destroyed the three tribes of Xiahou Xuan, completely cutting off the possibility of absolute rehabilitation.
Although Xiahou Xuan expected the worst outcome, he could not imagine that he would die at the hands of his brother-in-law in such an absurd form; still less could he imagine that Sima Zhao's intercession would become the fuse that accelerated his own death.
brief summary
Xiahou Xuan's death was regarded as an unjust case by many scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Not only guo feng and Sun Sheng held this view, but even Chen Shou, who was in the whirlpool of the times, also vaguely revealed his sympathy for the master in the words of "Xuan Chuan".
Xuan is in prison, (Zhong) will be friends with Xuan because of his desire to be snive, Xuan Zheng se knows: "Zhong Jun He Xiang forced so also!" "--Miscellaneous Miscellaneous"
Xuan Ge measured Hongji, and was about to cut the eastern city, the color was unchanged, the action was free, and he was forty-six years old. --The Book of Wei and the Biography of Xiahou Xuan
In a word, Xiahou Xuan's reputation was too great, and he had fallen into the situation of Pifu's innocence and guilt, and his reputation did not diminish after he left office, although he "did not pay for personnel affairs and did not store Huayan", he still could not alleviate Sima Shi's suspicions.
Xiahou Xuan went to prison and yi three tribes
Taking the unjust cases of the Three Kingdoms era as an example, most of the victims were "in a place of suspicion, and thinking and defense is not enough to defend themselves"; although Xiahou Xuan achieved the ultimate in humility and low-keyness, he was still not immune. The reason for this is that his fame is too great, and he is no longer in the category of self-defilement and self-protection to be able to avoid disasters.
Of course, judging from Xiahou Xuan's style of acting, he did not despise imitating Xiao He's self-defilement and using his whole body.
Xiahou Xuan's only vitality was to follow Xiahou Ba into Shu after Cao Shuang's death (249), and with the origin of the Xiahou family, he also lost his position as a duke in the Shu Han court. However, Xiahou Xuan still said that he would not be willing to visit himself to Kou Yu", and went to Luoyang and embarked on the road of no return.
(Liu Chan) refers to his son to show (Xiahou Ba): "This nephew of the Xiahou clan is also." "Pampered. - "Wei Luo"
Xiahou Ba will run to Shu and hu Xuan wants to be with him. Xuan Yue: "Don't I have to be a guest of Kou Yuhu?" "Then return the Kyoshi." --"Wei's Spring and Autumn"
This is both the pride of the celebrity and the curse of fame. The entanglement of prestige has always constrained his behavior, and in the turbulent historical environment, it has also doomed him to a tragic ending.
