Chapter 71
"Sima Yi's courage is not just for fun. From Cao Cao's reign, when he was invited to invite him, he was afraid of being killed, and he pretended to be sick. You can see his cowardice. He is also a playwright. In my time, this For acting skills, it is not an exaggeration to be an actor."

"The first time he pretended to be sick was when Cao Cao first came to power. At that time, Sima Yi was also an official and looked down upon Cao Cao's background. Cao Cao wanted to summon him, but he didn't dare to offend Cao Cao, so he pretended to have rheumatic paralysis. "

"Cao Cao suspected that Sima Yi was deliberately shirking, so he sent an assassin to break into Sima Yi's bedroom late at night to check. Sure enough, he saw Sima Yi lying upright on the bed."

"The assassin still didn't believe it, so he drew out his saber, put it on Sima Yi's body, and pretended to chop it down."

"He thought that if Sima Yi hadn't been paralyzed by the wind, he would have jumped up in fright."

"This Sima Yi is really good at it. He just stared at the assassin with his body motionless. The assassin had to believe it and put away his sword and reported back to Cao Cao."

Cao Cao: They really lied to me. I believed it at the time.

Liu Bang: Just because of this performance, let alone you, I would think he was really sick.

Qin Shihuang: This is really pretending.

Qianlong: Admire!Ha ha!I really admire this one!

"Sima Yi knew that Cao Cao would not let him go, and he was afraid that he would send someone to kill him. After a while, someone spread the news that the wind paralysis had recovered. When Cao Cao called him again, he would not refuse. gone."

"The second illness was a power struggle between Cao Shuang and Sima Yi. During the period of Emperor Wei Shao, Cao Shuang was the general and Sima Yi was the captain. They each led [-] soldiers and patrolled the palace. His qualifications are far from Sima Yi's."

"At the beginning, he had to respect Sima Yi, and he always listened to Sima Yi's opinions. However, when the power was in his hands, his ambition swelled, and people around him said, "Power cannot be distributed to outsiders." Cao Shuang listened That's right, I just took care to take away Sima Yi's military power."

"Then, Cao Shuang assigned his confidants and brothers to important positions. Sima Yi saw it, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not interfere at all."

"Cao Shuang was in power, so he had fun and lived an absurd life. In order to establish his prestige, he even led troops to attack the Shu Han. In the end, he was defeated by the Shu army and almost wiped out the whole army."

"Sima Yi doesn't say anything on the surface, but secretly has his own plans. Fortunately, he is indeed old, so he presumes that he is sick and will not go to court."

"Cao Shuang heard that Sima Yi's illness was just what he wanted, but after all, he was a little worried, and wanted to find out whether the Taifu's illness was real or a fake one."

"Cao Shuang sent his crony Li Sheng to investigate the situation."

"When Li Sheng arrived at Sima Yi's bedroom, he saw Sima Yi lying on the bed with two servant girls serving him porridge. He didn't take the bowl with his hands, but put his mouth to the side of the bowl to drink. Before he took a few sips, the porridge came along It dripped down from the corner of his mouth, all over his chest. Li Sheng looked at it and felt that Sima Yi was very ill."

"Li Sheng also said a few words to Sima Yi at that time, but Sima Yi couldn't hear clearly, and Li Sheng said a few more words, but Sima Yi still couldn't hear clearly." I can't hear you! "Just such a sentence made Li Sheng feel sorry for Sima Yi even more."

When Li Sheng mentioned this matter to Cao Shuang: "Teacher is only one breath away, so you don't need to worry."

Cao Shuang listened, needless to say how happy he was.

"When Wei Shaodi Cao Fang went outside the city to visit the tombs of his ancestors, Cao Shuang, his brothers, and trusted ministers all followed him. Since Sima Yi was seriously ill, of course no one invited him to go."

"I don't know when Cao Shuang and his gang left the imperial city. Taifu Sima Yi recovered from his illness. He put on his armor, cheered up, took his two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, and led the troops to occupy the city gate. And the military library, and falsely passed on the imperial edict to remove Cao Shuang from the position of general."

Cao Cao: I, Cao, admire this one!
Li Zhi: Haha! 666!

Li Longji: Playing the real six!

Zhu Di: What a treacherous and cunning old man!

"It was also through the elimination of Cao Shuang's influence that Sima Yi and his descendants were able to continue to control the government of Cao Wei, thus completing the Western Jin Dynasty's goal of replacing Cao Wei."

"The establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty was indeed inseparable from Sima Yi's conspiracy. The Wei people also had a short life. After Cao Pi reigned for eight years, his descendants died young, but Sima Yi lived to be 73 years old before passing away."

Cao Pi: I have this lifespan, and I have already disintegrated the gentry.

Wu Zetian: This life expectancy is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Your lifespan is not short, hey, if only our family could have such a long lifespan.

"Although Sima Yi lived a long life, he only had rights. He did not usurp the throne. After Sima Zhao sent troops to attack Shu, the Wei Emperor named him "Duke of Jin" with Bingzhou and other ten counties. After destroying Shu, he became the king of Jin. Later His son Sima Yan inherited his title, and forced Emperor Wei to abdicate, and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was called "Jin" and its capital was Luoyang."

"In the period of the Wei Kingdom, the Shu Kingdom was remote because of its remote location, insufficient population, insufficient fighting potential, coupled with the lack of talents in the later period, coupled with the corruption and incompetence of the monarch Liu Chan, Sima Zhao destroyed Shu, Liu Chan surrendered, and the Shu Kingdom had nothing destruction."

"Decades after Sima Yan came to power, he destroyed Sun Wu and ended the situation of the Three Kingdoms, and then reunified briefly, ending the separation of the Three Kingdoms. It lasted for 4 emperors and 51 years of the reign of Zuo."

"But this Sima Yan is not a wise king, and there are a lot of problems in his policies."

"When the Western Jin Dynasty was just established, the external situation faced was that a large number of nomadic tribes migrated inward. Foreign tribes in Guanzhong and Liangzhou accounted for half of the local population. These foreign tribes were almost taken as slaves by the aristocratic clan."

"After the destruction of Wu, the whole country of the Western Jin Dynasty was immersed in the atmosphere of extravagance and corruption. Emperor Wu of Jin was born in a family. After a long period of development, his family had long formed a huge powerful group. Hu Shiliuguo laid the groundwork."

"After the Western Jin unified the country, Sima Yan did take a series of economic measures, but these measures had their drawbacks."

"The main list is the land policy at that time. During the Wei Dynasty, the system of garrison land was implemented. Mainly speaking, the land was allocated by the state, farmers and the army came to cultivate, and the harvest was divided in proportion. had a huge effect.”

"In the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan ordered the abolition of the farmland system and introduced the land occupation system and the land tax system, which means that men can occupy up to [-] acres and women [-] acres, of which [-] acres are taxable, and the other [-] acres are yours. Play casually, so that farmers pay taxes, the labor pressure will be reduced a lot, the enthusiasm will naturally increase, and the economic population will increase.”
