In the minds of most people, most of the captives were humiliated, for example, Lü Bu, as the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, took the initiative to walk down the White Gate Tower and ask Cao Cao to surrender, he was tied very tightly with a rope, forced to kneel at the foot of the steps, and begged Cao Cao to loosen his ties. After Liu Chan, as the former king of a country, was escorted back to Luoyang, and Sima Zhao, he could only pretend to be crazy and stupid, leaving a joke that was not happy. When the Famous Scholar Zhang of the Shu Han Dynasty was imprisoned in Eastern Wu, he did not dare to come forward, resulting in Sun Quan not knowing of his existence. However, everything was like, for example, at that time, there were two captives, very cattle, both of whom had eaten Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu, and what was going on?
This matter should also start with Sima Yan's destruction of Eastern Wu and the unification of the three kingdoms. After he destroyed Jiangdong, he captured two very big-name captives, one of whom dared to taunt him to his face and make him dumbfounded, and the other, after hiding from him for a long time, only used one sentence to scare him into fleeing.
1. Sun Hao, the lord of Jiangdong
Sun Hao was the last emperor of Eastern Wu, and in previous articles, we have introduced not only his tyranny, but also his eloquence. For example, after he was captured in Luoyang, Jia Chong, a major minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, asked him curiously: "I heard that in Jiangnan, you often chisel people's eyes and peel people's faces. Sun Hao replied, "Those who dare to kill the king who are disloyal will be punished like this." The irony of Jia Chong had instigated ChengJi to kill Cao Wei's fourth emperor, Cao Wei, made Jia Chong ashamed.
However, in the Western Jin Dynasty, not only Jia Chong experienced Sun Hao's ridicule, and his founding emperor Sima Yan was not spared. When Sun Hao had just been taken to Luoyang, Sima Yan summoned him and, after paying his salute, said to him, "I have been waiting for you for a long time since I set up a seat for you here. Unexpectedly, Sun Hao was not at all reluctant to show weakness, and replied: "Coincidentally, I also set up such a seat for you in the south." After Sima Yan listened, he did not know how to agree.
Second, Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang is the youngest son of Zhuge Liang. We all know that Zhuge Liang was the main general of the three rebellions in Huainan, and after the defeat, he was wiped out of the three tribes, so why was Zhuge Liang able to survive? It turned out that Zhuge Liang had colluded with Jiangdong before the uprising, so Zhuge Liang, as a proton, was sent to Jiangdong by him, and after he was destroyed by the three tribes, his bloodline was retained by Zhuge Liang. Because Sima Yan and Zhuge Liang were similar in age, the two were once small and had a good relationship. Therefore, when Eastern Wu fell and Zhuge Liang was brought to the capital as a criminal courtier, Sima Yan always wanted to restore his former friendship with this former friend.
However, Zhuge Liang's three clans, Sima Yan's father, Sima Zhao, ordered them to be destroyed, so how could Zhuge Liang continue to be friends with Sima Yan without the heart and lungs? Therefore, he has been hiding from Sima Yan and not seeing Sima Yan. However, Sima Yan still refused to give up, because his aunt was Zhuge Liang's sister, so he borrowed the name of his aunt and asked Zhuge Liang out. However, what he did not expect was that as soon as he saw him, Zhuge Liang directly hid in the toilet. Sima Yan was also persistent enough, and he continued to chase after the past, asking "affectionately": "Don't you remember the friendship we had when we were young?" ”
At this time, Zhuge Liang only said one word, which frightened Sima Yan to turn around and leave, he said, "I did not paint my body, scrape off the skin on my face, and see your face on the holy side, I am really ashamed and hateful", which means that in order to avenge his family, assassinating Sima Yan is the most important choice he should make. The "Praise of the Dukes of Jin" records: "Wu died, Liang entered Luo, killed by Taizu on the birth of his father, and swore not to see the ancestors." Princess Langya, the sister of Liang, the empress dowager, because Liang was among her sisters, she went to see Yan and fled to the toilet, so she became famous for filial piety. ”
After the analysis, we have to admit that Sima Yan, the emperor, did a bit of a stubborn thing -- although he unified the Three Kingdoms, he captured two big-name captives, and successively made him suffer, one dared to mock him in person, and the other directly intimidated him.
