After Cao Pi's death, he passed the throne to his son Cao Rui. And Cao Rui did not fail in his mission, not only managing the country very well, but also firmly controlling Sima Yi in the palm of his hand. However, Cao Rui's life expectancy was relatively short, and he died at a young age. Therefore, later his adopted son Cao Fang had the opportunity to inherit the throne. Unfortunately, Cao Fang was an incompetent master, so during his reign, Cao Wei had a large number of powerful ministers that even the emperor dared to bully. Among them, wang ling and Sima Yi were included.
Sima Yi everyone knows, but this Wang Ling, there may not be many people who know. He was actually the nephew of Wang Yun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who held an important position during Cao Fang's reign as emperor. Because of this, he dared to come up with the idea of replacing a new emperor. It was only not long after he put it into action that Sima Yi destroyed him. Not only that, Sima Yi also killed his three clan relatives. Logically speaking, Wang Ling's sister should also be killed for being implicated, but Sima Yi finally chose to let her go. Not for anything else because she was Guo Huai's wife. Then, after Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi gradually came to power, so why was he still jealous of Guo Huai?
"World Language": Huai's wife, Wang Ling's sister. Ling Jie, sister dang sat down, Yu Shi to receive. The governor and thousands of Qiang and Hu Qushuai prostrated their heads and asked Huai to keep his wife, but Huai did not obey. Wives go up to the road, and they do not shed tears, and everyone strangles their wrists and wants to rob them. The fifth son of Huai prostrated his head and bled to ask Huai, huai could not bear to look at it, but ordered him to chase his wife left and right. So the pursuers rode thousands of horses and returned for several days. King Sima Xuan of Huai Yishu said: "The five sons mourn their mothers, and do not hesitate to be their bodies; if there is no mother, there are no five sons; there are no five sons, and there are no Huaiye." If the Law is not understood, he who has suffered from the Lord will be near. ''To the end of the book, king Xuan also obeyed.''
1. Guo Huai made great military achievements for Cao Wei, and his prestige was relatively large
Guo Huai has been serving the Cao clan since the time Cao Cao came to power. By the time Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, he could already be regarded as the elder of the Three Dynasties. During his service for Cao Wei, he made countless military achievements. Even Zhuge Liang, who uses soldiers like gods, must be jealous of Guo Huai when he commands the army to fight and encounters guo Huai. Therefore, it can be said that Guo Huai seems to be the spokesman for Cao Wei's strong combat effectiveness. Because of this, he would have a relatively large prestige in Cao Wei. Even if Sima Yi wanted to eliminate Wang Ling's people, he would never dare to give Guo Huai's face for a woman.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": In the first year of the first year, Shu sent Jiang Wei out of Longxi. Huai Sui marched into the middle of xinjiang, Huai retreated, so he begged Qiang Midang, etc., and then he fell according to fu rou and three thousand yuan, and moved to the middle of the pass. General Qianzuo. Liangzhou Hu Tu Hu Liang Yuanbi and others, led more than 2,000 families to attach to Yongzhou. Huai Song asked for the peace of Gaoping, the protector of the people, and then placed him as the governor of Xizhou. Turn to the former general, and lead the state as before.
Second, Guo Huai's military strength was strong, and Sima Yi did not dare to easily offend him
Judging from the above content, we can not only see that Guo Huai has a relatively large prestige in Cao Wei, but also can see that Guo Huai's military strength is relatively strong. If Sima Yi really dared not to give him face, then Guo Huai, in a hurry, could not guarantee that he would not make a move against Sima Yi. Although Sima Yi had the power at that time, there was no need to be afraid of Guo Huai. But under the circumstance that he was obviously able not to cause trouble for himself, how could Sima Yi deliberately cause trouble for himself? You know, although some troubles seem to be easy to settle, once it appears, the consequences will be really unpredictable.
Third, Sima Yi was worried that Guo Huai would make a move to surrender to the enemy if he was forced to be in a hurry
Sima Yi, like Guo Huai, began to serve Cao Wei from the time of Cao Cao's lifetime. Therefore, Sima Yi was obviously very familiar with Guo Huai's personality. However, even so, in the case that the power of the Cao family was far inferior to before and Guo Huai's wife was forcibly taken away by Sima Yi's men, he really did not dare to guarantee that Guo Huai would not make a move to defect to the enemy. After all, the place where Guo Huai was stationed at that time was very close to the territory of Shu Han, and after the precedent of Xiahou Ba's surrender to Shu, Sima Yi really did not dare to take this risk.
It was precisely because of the above reasons that Sima Yi finally chose to spare Guo Huai's wife. And in addition to being able to stabilize Guo Huai, he can also make Guo Huai owe him a favor. In this way, even if he really seized Cao Wei's world in the future, Guo Huai would have to see that he did not have much conflict with him for the sake of his wife. Anyway, no matter how to calculate, letting Go of Guo Huai's wife is far more cost-effective than killing Guo Huai's wife.
It can be seen from this that Sima Yi was not really jealous of Guo Huai, but just did not want to cause trouble for himself. After all, at that time, he still had a lot of big things to do, and he couldn't force Guo Huai to rebel for such a small thing, and then spend more energy to deal with the dispute between himself and Guo Huai, right? Therefore, Sima Yi is a shrewd person. At the very least, he could tell which was more or less. And if you can do this, where is the reason for not succeeding?
