Zhong Hui: Was he an ambitionist or a loyal vassal of Cao Wei?

Zhong Hui (钟会), also known as "Medieval", was a native of present-day Henan, a famous strategist and calligrapher of the Three Kingdoms period, and the youngest son of Taifu Zhongxuan (you third sound, such as "by").

Zhong Hui: Was he an ambitionist or a loyal vassal of Cao Wei?

Zhong Xuan mentioned once before when he said Xun You, the Zhong clan was a famous big family at that time, but Zhong Xuan was very unfortunate, the old man had children, a lifetime is two, a Zhong Yu, a Zhong Hui, when the Zhong Hui was not yet young, Zhong Hui went to heaven, so Zhong Hui's childhood was bereaved by his father, brought up by his brother and mother.

When Zhong Hui was five years old, Zhong Hui took him to see Jiang Ji, and as soon as Jiang Ji saw Zhong Hui, he said that this person was not simple, "very human", so Zhong Hui was famous all over the world when he was very young. Anyway, Zhong Hui's personal ability is there, extraordinary, and it is enough to know this.

The year 254 was no longer the era of Sima Yi, but the era of his son Sima Shi. Sima Shi deposed Cao Fang, the fourth emperor of cao wei, and demoted him to the position of king of Qi, allowing another Cao family member, Cao Fang, to succeed him, that is, the noble township duke. By the way, after the Qi king Cao Fang was deposed, he lived for a long time, and Cao Fu was a young Tianzi at that time, less than ten years old, and belonged to the puppet emperor. When he was about 20 years old, Cao Xian was young and vigorous, wanted to save a little dignity as an emperor, and got involved with Sima Zhao, only to be killed on the spot by one of Sima Zhao's dogs, Jia Chong, a dead soldier under him! Sima Zhao was black Cao Xian, morally corrupt, fornicated harem and the like, funerals were all the specifications of ordinary people, and after death, it was not an emperor or an emperor, but a noble township duke, that is to say, Sima Zhao wanted to leave his descendants with the impression that Cao Xian was not an emperor and he was not worthy of being an emperor.

At that time, Zhong Hui said to Sima Shi that Cao Xian was the same person as Chen Si and Wu Taizu, that is to say, Cao Xian would not be a soft persimmon in the future, and as a result, everything that happened later was really right. Therefore, the bell will be discerning and intelligent.

In 255, due to the previous actions of the Sima family, the Wei generals Qiu Jian and Wen Qin rebelled, and you said that they were soldiers and kings, or rebellion, anyway, they rose up against Sima Shi. Sima Shi personally marched, Zhong Hui went out with the army as a strategist, at that time Sima Shi was ill, it seemed that there was a tumor on the side of the eye, under the persuasion of some people, he still personally marched, and soon swept away the rebellion, Wen Qin and his son Wen Duan finally fled to the state of Wu. On the way back, Sima Shi died, and power passed to his brother Sima Zhao. Cao Xian ordered Sima Zhao to remain in Xuchang, hoping to gradually regain military power and slowly marginalize Sima Zhao politically. At this time, Zhong Hui conspired with another person to resolutely let Sima Zhao go back, and later Cao Xian saw that the people had returned, and there was no way, so he worshiped Sima Zhao as a great general.

Zhong Hui: Was he an ambitionist or a loyal vassal of Cao Wei?

In 257, the imperial court appointed Zhuge Zhi as Sikong and let him return to the central government to eat and drink spicy, when Zhong Hui's mother died, Zhong Hui was still at home to guard the funeral, but when he heard the news, he immediately rushed to see Sima Zhao, and ate many fines in the middle, the purpose was to tell Sima Zhao that he expected Zhuge Tou to not obey his orders, and Sima Zhao did not take it seriously, and the result was that Zhuge Zhao did not do the opposite.

Zhuge Zhi was united with Eastern Wu, preparing to jointly attack the State of Wei, and Jiang Wei in Sichuan also took the opportunity to send troops to attack the State of Wei. Zhong Hui accompanied Sima Zhao to fight the rebellion, and later it was because of Zhuge Zhi's civil unrest that it was over.

At that time, some people commented on Zhong Hui, saying that he was a tall person like the sub-room, who was the sub-room? Zhang Liang, one of the three masters of the early Han Dynasty, zifang, Xun Yu was also evaluated by Cao Cao as "my son Fang ye!" "During this period, the imperial court was involved in major and minor affairs, officials were appointed and dismissed, and Zhong Hui interfered, that is, during this period, Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, was killed by Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui was originally a fan of Ji Kang, because Zhong Hui was also a celebrity, and he also knew a little about metaphysics, and one day Zhong Hui wrote something, and he wanted Ji Kang to see it. So he held what he had written and sneaked to Ji Kang's house, and everyone made up the brains of the young man chasing the little girl, very similar. The young man came to the door of the girl's house, holding flowers and love letters, but the heart was shy and timid, afraid of being driven out by the girl after knocking on the door, the bell meeting of that year was almost like this psychology, thinking about it or afraid, afraid of eating the closed door soup, so he directly threw the written things into Ji Kang's backyard and ran.

Ji Kang estimated that he had read it, but after reading it, he did not reply to Zhong Hui, big brother, write good or bad, you have to squeak it, good people have to send a card. Zhong Hui was a little restless, but in the face of Ji Kang, Zhong Hui was inferior, so one day, Zhong Hui brought a few second generations from the capital to Ji Kang's house together, and it was estimated that he drank some wine before going to strengthen his courage.

In the face of their loved ones, anyone's IQ will drop to zero, and Zhong Hui is no exception. You say you go to see your idol, you go to meet a girl, what do you do with so many brothers? Are you here for a date or a fight? Are you trying to show off your power? Is it to say, girl, see no, behind me these are the secretary of state, the son of the secretary of defense, after you follow me, they are also your friends, is that what you mean? There are many people in later generations who say that Zhong Hui's move is too stupid, and have put forward the thesis that Zhong Hui's emotional intelligence is zero, and further introduced the reasons for Zhong Hui's future defeat. In fact, I look down, Zhong Hui is usually not stupid, it is just a time to be stupid, after all, people have silly times, especially in front of their idols.

Ji Kang and Xiang Xiu were playing iron, and they didn't look at Zhong Hui at all, which made Zhong Hui very faceless. So well, it's okay to come alone, bring so many people to come, everyone is watching, people girls don't bird you! Zhong Hui stood once, went back, just turned to leave, Ji Kang spoke, asked Zhong Hui, what do you want to see when you come to my house? What do you want to do? This is a bit humiliating, in fact, Zhong Hui's brain is clever, because he said, what he hears and hears, what he sees and sees, which means that I have achieved my goal, I have seen what I want to see, gone, bye-bye.

Zhong Hui became angry, and later because ji kang was because of a case by his friend Lu An, Zhong would use the title to play and add oil and vinegar to Sima Zhao to falsely accuse Ji Kang, and Sima Zhao executed Ji Kang. Regarding Ji Kang, next time I will take it out separately and talk about it, I will talk about the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and I will talk about it today.

Zhong Hui: Was he an ambitionist or a loyal vassal of Cao Wei?

Zhong will design to frame Ji Kang, I think it is a kind of psychology of love and hate, which is also very common in life. Of course, I like Ji Kang a lot, but I don't hate Zhong Hui because of this, because everyone's choice is good, and if I were Zhong Hui, I might be ashamed and angry.

Later, when the Wei soldiers attacked the Shu state in three ways, Zhong Hui, as the main force, took 100,000 people and fought Jiang Wei to death at the Sword Pavilion, which I talked about when I talked about Deng Ai before. Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping and destroyed the Shu kingdom with lightning speed, Liu Chan surrendered, and Jiang Wei also surrendered to Zhong Hui, who liked Jiang Wei very much, and the two good friends and brothers and sisters, well, for now, this is the case.

When Jiang Wei came to the Camp of Zhong Hui, he kept blowing the wind on the side of the pillow, ah no, it was the wind in his ears, persuading Zhong to rebel, Zhong would look at Deng Ai unfavorably, falsely accused Deng Ai of rebellion, and destroyed the three clans of Deng Ai. It was said before that Zhong Hui was a calligrapher, and he was also good at imitating other people's handwriting, so in the correspondence between Deng Ai and the imperial court, Zhong Hui made some corrections, which aroused the contradiction between the two sides.

Sima Zhao was so vicious that he had already seen through Zhong Hui's intentions, so in the end Zhong Hui was defeated. Originally, Zhong Hui would be supporting the army to stand on its own, Ruyi Abacus played very well, forward, you can attack the Central Plains, really can't fight, you can also retreat to Shuzhong, when Liu Bei is also wide. However, Sima Zhao suddenly fell from the sky, and Zhong Hui's soldiers did not want to rebel, and people were determined, and finally Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were both killed, some said that Jiang Wei committed suicide, some said that they were killed, anyway, they died.

Regarding the rebellion of Zhong Hui, the mainstream view is that Zhong Hui is an ambitionist and wants to be emperor himself, originally there was this idea, but after Jiang Wei surrendered, he fanned the flames, in fact, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were also using each other. The Republic of China master Lü Simian gave another set of theories, that is, Zhong would not be accustomed to Sima Shi's stubbornness, in fact, he would eventually be loyal to Cao Wei, so it was the Qing Jun's side, not that he wanted to be emperor, but remembered that the soldiers had destroyed Sima Zhao and returned power to the surname Cao.

Both of these statements have credibility, and they can also justify themselves, at least this is possible, but I think, first of all, if Zhong Hui wants to be emperor himself, sooner or later, not against Mao, at this time? In addition, before Zhong Hui has always taken the initiative to contribute to Sima Shi and Sima Zhao's brothers, what does this mean? Was it that at first Zhong Hui would be loyal to Sima and later think it was not right, or was Cao Wei good?

Moreover, at that time, Sima Shi's power was basically fixed, if Zhong Hui did not have a fever and was confused, even if he wanted to oppose, he would first have to pull a few people into the water together, right? Did Zhong Hui really think that he, along with Jiang Wei, and a few small subordinates, could make some big waves?

I am not an hindsight, I am not from the perspective of God, I am just making a hypothesis, if I am Zhong Hui, I am not stupid, I am a smart person, if I want to be emperor myself, before starting an army, I will first appease the old ministers of the Shu kingdom, contact the state of Wu, and win over all the anti-Sima forces, even if I shout out, Sima wants to usurp power, I want to protect the emperor's slogan, right, first create a contradiction between Sima and others, stir up trouble, wait for the opportunity, this is a smart person, is an ambitionist can basically think of it.

Besides, I wouldn't frame Deng Ai, why? Because once Deng Ai died, all eyes were focused on me, and I also wanted to keep Deng Ai as a shield for my own safety interests. Do you really think that as long as you get rid of Deng Ai, Sima will have nothing to fear? Do you eat rice when everyone else is eating rice?

I look down, all the actions of Zhong Hui's rebellion are one word, urgent, I don't believe that Zhong Hui will be stupid enough to be as long as one, two or three, I am the emperor, not so simple, he is forced, or rather, have to reverse, why? Because Sima Zhao was going to do something to him, maybe before, Sima Zhao had sought out Zhong Hui, and also hinted that Deng Ai was too arrogant, in fact, you were the main hero, you were my person, I didn't want to see Deng Ai Yao wu wei. Perhaps it was said in isolation that Zhong Hui wanted to get rid of Deng Ai.

Unexpectedly, however, Sima borrowed Zhong Hui's hand to get rid of Deng Ai, and in turn, he wanted to falsely accuse Zhong Hui of framing Zhongliang, and he also wanted to get rid of it. Is it possible for Sima to do such a thing? Of course, it is possible that He Yan is an example, and there is a chance to talk about He Yan next time.

If Zhong Hui is an ambitionist, then it is too demeaning to the profession of ambitionist. Zhong Hui, like Deng Ai, was only a victim of Sima s seizure of power. Before reading the history books, it is said that the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty was full of bloodshed and violence, starting from Taizu Sima Yi, it was like this, brutal, ruthless, killing, anyway, what I heard were bad words, I still thought that Sima Yi was quite cute, right, the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Sima Yi also went to "Love Apartment" to make a cameo, what a cute old man!

Now, I believe! When I have the opportunity, I will talk about the process of sima clan seizing power separately, starting from Sima Yi, going through Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and all the way to Sima Yan's claim to the throne, which is really tragic! break off! person! Huan!
