Huan Fan of the Three Kingdoms period was known as the "wise man" of the dynasty because he was good at strategizing, and was such a knowledgeable person who was killed by Sima Yi who usurped power during the Gaopingling Incident and was tragically killed by the Zhulian Three Tribes.
However, this did not make the Huan family extinct, fortunately, the descendant Huan Wen escaped by chance, he and his son Huan Xuan endured humiliation, and finally killed the descendants of the enemy Sima Shi after 150 years to avenge his ancestors.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > first, the "think tank" of the DPRK</h1>
Huan Fan was born into a famous family, the Huan family behind him has accumulated a high reputation in the dynasty after the development of successive dynasties, and by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it can be described as "the secretary of state of the successive generations", which is quite valued by the imperial court, and almost everyone holds an official and a half position in the dynasty.
Because the huan family has a tradition of studying the history of the classics, they are often knowledgeable, and will be arranged by the emperor to be around, advise them, and sometimes act as the emperor's teacher, so posterity evaluates the Huan family as "repeatedly out of the emperor's teacher".
In the Three Kingdoms period, the most outstanding representative of this generation of the Huan family was Huan Fan, who had already held an important position in the dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and when emperor Cao Fang of the State of Wei reigned, he was awarded the title of "Great Sinong", and people at the time called him "think tank".
But Huan Fan's talent did not make his career smooth. At first, because he was good at strategizing, he was selected by Cao Cao to enter the XiangFu. Huan Fan, who thought that he would show his skills when he climbed the tall branch, did not realize his great ambitions, which made huan fan who was proud and arrogant feel depressed.
To tell the truth, Huan Fan's journey is not smooth, which is also closely related to my arrogance. Huan Fan was once appointed pastor of Jizhou, and at that time Jizhou was under the control of Lü Zhao, but Huan Fan felt that Lü Zhao's talent and courage were far above him, how could I succumb to him?
So Huan Fan complained about this matter to his wife, who said to Huan Fan after hearing this: "When Fu Jun was doing the assassination history in Xuzhou before, he was convicted of wanting to kill the Qingzhou thorn history without authorization, they said that you would not be a leader, and now you are not willing to live under Lü Zhao, I am afraid that when the time comes, everyone will say that you will not be a subordinate." ”
After Huan Fan listened to these words, he felt that his self-esteem had been greatly challenged, and at the moment, he was furious and severely punished his wife who was pregnant at the time, and later his wife miscarried and died soon after, which is one of Huan Fan's famous allusions - "angry killing of pregnant wives".
Although Huan Fan himself was proud and arrogant, his courage and strategy could not be ignored. When Cao Cao's son Cao Pi ascended the throne, Huan Fan Feng mang first appeared; later Cao Pi's son Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Huan Fan Feng Was already a major vassal of the court, and before the death of the former emperor Cao Rui, he was also entrusted with the important task of assisting the new emperor Cao Fang.
Imagine if Huan Fan didn't have a little talent, how could he go through the four generations of Cao Wei and finally be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Emperor Xian? Moreover, at the beginning of Cao Wei, the country was also considered to be strong and strong, the society was stable, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, of which Huan Fan was also indispensable. It can be seen that Huan Fan's title of "think tank" is not a vain name.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" >2, Gaopingling Incident</h1>
Later, such an incident directly caused Huan Fan to lose his life, and the Huan family almost became extinct. That was the Gaopingling Rebellion that took place in 249 AD, which was mainly initiated by Sima Yi and directly led to the change of lordship of the Wei state.
Speaking of Sima Yi, he is also a fierce character. He was born into a famous family, and the Sima clan surname was given to his ancestor Cheng Boxiu's father when King Xuan of Zhou was in power, and at the same time King Xuan of Zhou also gave the Sima family fiefdom, which can be said to be a blessing to the saints, and has become more and more prosperous after several generations.
Sima Yi lived during the Three Kingdoms period and was a well-known adviser to Cao Wei, who was intelligent and studious since childhood, and most importantly, he judged the hour and the situation. During his reign, Cao Cao had warned Sima Yi to act in a low-key manner, and had also warned his son Cao Pi to be careful of Sima Yi, but Cao Pi did not pay attention to it.
Before the reign of Emperor Cao Fang of the State of Wei, Sima Yi could be said to have been diligent and earnest in doing things for the country, and at this time he did not have the slightest intention of rebellion. Later, when Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, because the emperor was young and his real power was almost controlled by the general Cao Shuang in the palace, Sima Yi's power was emptied, and he had no choice but to launch a coup d'état in order to protect himself.
Sima Yi himself, in order to succeed in usurping power, has been secretly making preparations and usually acting in a low-key manner. Every time he visited the emperor, he would show a sick posture, and he did not have real power in his hands, which really made the emperor and Cao Shuang relax their guard against him.
However, this could not escape the eyes of the wise man Huan Fan, who warned the emperor to be careful of Sima Yi, thinking that this person had ill intentions, but the emperor and Cao Shuang did not think so, what kind of climate could such a sick seedling become?
Later, when Sima Yi took advantage of cao shuang and Huan Fan to accompany Cao Fang out of Luoyang to visit the tomb of Gaoping Mausoleum, when the imperial court was unguarded, he joined forces with taiwei to launch a palace coup and occupy Luoyang. This is the famous "Gaopingling Incident".
After the news reached the ears of the emperor and many others, they immediately panicked. Huan Fan was the first to react and advised the emperor, believing that he should unite with generals from other regions to carry out a counter-offensive, retake Luoyang, and defend Great Wei.
However, the emperors Cao Fang and Cao Shuang had the intention of surrendering, they felt that if they surrendered now, they could save their lives, but also preserve their glory and wealth, and as soon as this idea came out, Huan Fan immediately retorted: "Before Sima Yi's real power was elevated, how could he leave us alive when he gained power in this dynasty?" ”
These words were of no use to Cao Fang and Cao Shuang at all, they still chose to surrender, and Huan Fan had no choice but to obey. Sure enough, Sima Yi imprisoned Cao Fang's brothers and sent officers and soldiers to monitor them, and later forced Cao Fang to abdicate.
Later, someone informed Sima Yi that Huan Fan and Cao Fang intended to rebel, which just gave Sima Yi a legitimate reason to eradicate the serious trouble in his heart, so he ordered Huan Fan and Cao Shuang to be killed for the crime of "conspiracy to rebel", and ordered the three huan fan clans to be killed to avoid future troubles.
After the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi also completely controlled the Cao Wei regime, eliminating the forces supporting Cao Wei and laying the foundation for the establishment of the Jin state in the future. Among them, it has to be said that Huan Fan has become the most pitiful victim of politics.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > third, the great revenge is repaid</h1>
Although the Huan family was ordered by Sima Yi to be killed, fortunately, 1 member of the Huan family escaped, that is, Huan Wen, who remembered the family's admonition and did not forget to avenge his ancestors while carrying forward the family.
Huan Wen was a very strategic person, and in order to let the Sima family relax its vigilance, he married a princess of the Sima family and became a horse of the Sima family. Later, he gave birth to a son Huan Xuan. Huan Wen himself was also an excellent general, who conquered the Northern Expedition in the south and grasped most of the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he was highly valued by the emperor and loved by the people.
However, the stable life did not make Huan Wen forget his family feud, and when the time was ripe, together with his son Huan Xuan, he followed Sima Yi's example in launching a palace coup and forced the empress dowager to depose the emperor Sima Yi and replace Sima Yu with Sima Yu, who he had controlled in advance, as emperor.
From then on, Huan Wen held the real power of the imperial court, the emperor only existed as a puppet, although he did not become an emperor, but his son Huan Xuan had a grudge, replaced the emperor, and established the country with the title of "Chu", at this point the Sima family began to decline, and the Huan family also took revenge.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > summary</h1>
Although the wisdom tank Huan Fan and the Huan family were victims of the Gaopingling Incident, it was a pity. But fortunately, his descendant Huan Wen escaped by chance, endured humiliation and burden for 150 years, and together with his son Huan Xuan seized the enemy Sima Shi's Jiangshan and avenged the blood hatred of his ancestors.
Sima Yi, who was a wise man, could not have imagined that a fish that had slipped through the net at that time would destroy the country and mountains he had painstakingly managed 150 years later. This may confirm what the Buddhists said, "The cycle of cause and effect, a hundred causes must have results."
