Sima Yi, a figure that no one wants to mess with. With his brilliant resourcefulness and hidden ambitions, he became one of the biggest winners in the history of the Three Kingdoms. But will anyone be able to see through his true face? Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, unwilling to be deceived by Sima Yi, tries to uncover the true face of this careerist hidden in the darkness. Cao Cao decided to make a trial of Sima Yi. He specially summoned Sima Yi into the palace to observe whether he had a "wolf look", that is, whether he would have a panicked expression when his name was suddenly shouted behind his back.
After Sima Yi received the summons, he hurried to Cao Cao's palace, but found that he was alone, not even Cao Cao. Just when he was confused, Cao Cao suddenly appeared behind him and shouted his name. Sima Yi was caught off guard and quickly turned around, but his shoulders did not move, and he did not show any panic at all. This behavior, known as "Wolf Gu Zhixiang", led Cao Cao to conclude that Sima Yi was an ambitious person. However, Cao Cao did not directly kill Sima Yi. Why?
Because he knew that Sima Yi's existence was very important to contain the Shu Kingdom. If Sima Yi was killed, Zhuge Liang of the Shu state would lose his opponent and Cao Wei would gain a greater advantage. Therefore, Cao Cao chose to keep Sima Yi, despite his vigilance. However, this decision ended up with serious consequences. Sima Yi successfully waited for the deaths of Cao Pi and Cao Ying, and then staged a coup d'état when Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, usurping Cao Wei's power. After taking power, he began to wantonly suppress the heavy ministers around Cao Wei, and even exterminated Cao Shuang and others.
Sima Yi's success was a great disaster for Cao Wei. However, what happened to Sima Yi? Folklore has it that Zhuge Liang left behind a book of soldiers before he died, smeared with poison. He expected that Sima Yi would go through the book of soldiers and knew that Sima Yi was used to licking his fingers. In the end, Sima Yi died of poison. However, the official history records that Sima Yi died of illness and lived to the age of 73. This seems to confirm the saying: good people do not live long, and disasters remain for thousands of years. Sima Yi, a careerist, a figure with both wisdom and courage.
His presence brought great pressure and disaster to Cao Wei. And Cao Cao's decision, although it played a certain role, but also eventually led to the fall of Cao Wei. In history, we often see episodes where good people do not live long, while those who always plot against each other are able to escape punishment. This begs the question, when will good triumph over evil? Now, let's get back to reality. Are there hidden careerists in our lives?
They may not be aware of it by the people around them, but their actions are quietly affecting our lives. How should we deal with such people? Please leave your comments to discuss with us.
