Sima Yi was the best person to pretend to be sick during the Three Kingdoms period.
Sima Yi was born in 179, two years older than Zhu Geliang, and belongs to the "post-70s" in the second century. Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he is a junior.
When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Sima Yi 10 years old, when Cao Cao arrived in Xuxian, Sima Yi 17 years old, and when he was in Guandu War, he was 2 1 year old.
The Book of Jin said that Sima Yi was "rare, intelligent and knowledgeable". In the face of troubled times, he often lamented that he was worried about the country and the people.
In the sixth year of Jian 'an (20 1), Hanoi County, Sima Yi's hometown, became "Caotong District". At this time, 22-year-old Sima Yi took part in the work and was elected as the chief of the county, which was equivalent to the director of the Beijing Office of the county. He was a middle-level official, so he went to Xu County in Beijing on business every year.
At this time, Cao Cao is gathering talents everywhere. He heard that Sima Yi was a little famous, so he recruited him to work in his own Sikongfu.
From the local to the central government, working beside Cao Cao, the future is naturally not * * *, which is a beauty that others can't find with lanterns, but it was rejected by director Sima.
According to the Book of Jin, the reason why Sima Yi refused Cao Cao's conquest was "knowing that the Han Dynasty was weak and unwilling to compromise with Cao Zhi", which was not the mainstream at that time.
Even people who are loyal to the Korean family, such as Yu Xun and Kong Rong, are also officials in Xu County at the moment. Sima Lang, Sima Yi's elder brother, and Sima Fu, his younger brother, also worked under Cao Cao, and their careers were smooth, but he was maverick and had to be cool, which made people puzzled.
But Sima Yi is even cooler. According to the Book of Jin, Sima Yi refused Cao Cao's exploration on the grounds that he could not take care of himself because of wind arthralgia.
Cao Cao was a little suspicious and thought there might be fraud, so he sent someone to visit Sima Yi's house in the evening. As a result, he found Sima Yi lying there motionless, so he believed him and stopped forcing him to apply.
Wind arthralgia is rheumatism. From the perspective of modern medicine, wind arthralgia includes not only common joint pain and arthritis, but also serious diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus and rheumatic heart disease.
Sima Yi said that she had rheumatism, so severe that she couldn't walk and take care of herself. That's not an ordinary disease.
Perhaps Sima Yi is not proficient in medical skills, nor is he an experienced civil servant. He has no experience in how to make up an excuse for sick leave, but he just said it without much thought, but this mindless excuse actually hurt him, because he had to pretend it all the time, which brought great trouble to his life.
According to the Book of Jin, one day their home was drying books in the yard when it suddenly rained heavily. Sima Yi was in a hurry and forgot that she was pretending to be a patient. She got up and ran to collect books. This happened to be seen by a maid at home. Sima Yi's wife, Zhang Chunhua, is very good. She not only killed the maid with her own hands, but also "held the book with her own hands".
"Mi" means cooking with fire. On the surface, it seems that after your handmaid was killed, no one at home cooked, and Zhang Chunhua cooked in person.
What is there to write about? Sima Yi was a young man in his twenties, who had no job at that time. In the eyes of outsiders, he is still a disabled person who is seriously ill and cannot move. Is his wife cooking in the kitchen worth writing in the history books? If you look carefully, I'm afraid there is something terrible hidden in these words.
"Mi" also means burning and boiling. Zhang Chunhua killed someone, how could he hide? Why don't you find someone to cook in the pot? She can make her own fire!
But Sima Yi didn't enjoy it to the end. He went out to do something. According to the Book of Jin, after Cao Cao became prime minister, he thought of Sima Yi and asked him to work in the prime minister's office, which is equivalent to the director of culture and education.
This time, Cao Cao was rude and ordered: "If you linger any longer, take it away." It means that this boy will be arrested if he dares to show off in an ostentatious manner again! Sima yi was afraid and came out to take office.
Most of the things mentioned above are recorded in the Book of Jin edited by Fang, a famous official and historian in the Tang Dynasty. This book takes Sima as the main body of writing, and there are many praises and praises for Sima. We can't say that the above description is not at all, but we can't believe it either.
If Sima Yi really pretends to be ill in front of Cao Cao, it doesn't necessarily mean that he and Cao Cao are "different in ways", but can only be interpreted as a show to improve his social status and increase his popularity by "rejecting Cao Cao" in order to better "serve Cao Cao".
From the later events, Sima Yi's goal was basically achieved, and these stories also played a role, that is, Sima Yi had an "anti-Cao" complex for a long time, which can be used to explain the rationality and legitimacy of Sima Shi's final replacement of Cao Wei.
Paralysis of fake dementia
Sima Yi came to Cao Zhi's father and son, whether forced or voluntary, in short, he lived under others.
It is said that Cao Cao had a dream of "Sanma in the same trough", which made him suspect that people related to "horse" were bad for himself as "Cao". This statement sounds unreliable, but it is recorded in history books.
There is also a saying that Cao Cao heard that Sima Yi had a "wolf-like attitude", that is, his neck turned very flexibly, and others had to turn around before turning around, but Sima Yi didn't have to. He can turn his head back like a wolf without turning over. People with this ability are generally insidious. Cao Cao personally tried once and suddenly called him behind Sima Yi's back. Sima Yi really looks back at people like a wolf.
The above two things are also recorded in the Book of Jin, but the legend is more important.
However, it is understandable that Cao Cao has always been wary of this young man from an aristocratic family, because he is not at ease with all aristocratic families. Sima Yi had to be cautious and pretend to do things in this environment.
So he began to pretend to be pious, mainly targeting Cao Pi. Although Cao Cao didn't like him very much, Xelloss liked him, and he became "* * *". Cao Pi later became emperor, and Sima Yi pretended to be effective.
Sima Yi gradually put the relieving in the hands of Xelloss and Cao Rui. With the death of important generals loyal to Cao Zhi Group, Sima Yi became the most powerful man in the army before Cao Rui died. He could openly challenge Cao Shi Group, but he didn't do that, and he pretended to be very religious. What he does is slow homework. He should do it bit by bit.
After Cao Rui's death, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi supported each other. Cao Shuang is arrogant on the surface and weak in the heart, but Sima Yi is still quietly pretending to be poor.
No matter how Cao Shuang squeezed or suppressed, he didn't resist. Someone spoke ill of Cao Cao in front of him, but he didn't agree with him, which made everyone feel that such a respected person who had made great contributions to Cao Wei's country was treated unfairly, and everyone began to sympathize with him and slowly stood on his side, which was exactly what he wanted to achieve.
At that time, Sima Yi was still ill, and guests seldom met him when they came. Someone told Cao Shuang that there might be fraud. One of Cao Shuang's men, named Lunsheng, is going to Jingzhou as a secretariat. According to the rules, he should say goodbye to the teacher and Sangong, so Cao Shuang sent him to explore.
Sun Yat-sen came to Sima Yi Palace to explain his purpose. His family let him into the living room. After a long time, Sima Yi was helped in by two handmaids. Sun Yat-sen was startled when he saw Sima Yi. He felt that he had suddenly aged a lot, lost weight, his back was completely bent, his eyes were glassy, he was panting, and he didn't say a word.
Sima Yi is wearing a dress and wants to reach for it. Instead, she threw it on the ground. After sitting down, Sima Yi was speechless and thirsty. His maid brought him porridge to drink. Sima Yi can't move the bowl, but she feeds him. As a result, "the porridge flowed out and stained his chest."
Seeing this situation, Li Sheng said, "I heard that the teacher just had an old wind attack. I don't want to respect my body like this! "
Sima Yi looked at Li Sheng and gasped, "I am old, ill and dying. You condescended to take office in Bing ... and Bing is very close to the Hu people. Make proper preparations at ordinary times. Say goodbye today, ... I'm afraid it's hard to meet again, ... Now I trust my sons Sima Shi and Si Mazhao, please take care of them! "
Li Sheng said, "I want to go to Jingzhou instead of Bingzhou."
Sima Yi didn't seem to understand, so he asked, "Have you just arrived in Bing?" Li Sheng said loudly: "This is Jingzhou!" Sima Yi said shyly, "I don't understand your words because you are barren in old age. This time, when you return to this state, you are willing to make achievements early! " Li Sheng said he had to leave.
Li Sheng came back and reported to Cao Shuang: "Sima Yi is still alive, and his body and spirit have left. There is nothing to worry about." Cao Shuang and others, when they heard that they were broad-minded, "no longer equipped with" Sima Yi.
In fact, Dr. Lunt saw another illusion. He doesn't know that Sima Yi is the most famous master of faking illness. Young fashion can last for several years, but now old, it has been tempered to a perfect and superb state.
In Sima Yi's eyes, Dr. Li is a typical uninvited guest. The reason for his visit was self-evident, so he gave him a play, but Dr. Li was easily deceived.
Soon, while Cao Shuang and others let their guard down, Sima Yi and his son staged a coup in Ping Ling, wiped out Cao Shuang and his gang and seized power.
Sima Yi is the oldest hero in the Three Kingdoms.
Sima Yi died at the age of 73, the longest life span among the three countries.
He came to work under Cao Cao in his twenties. For more than 40 years, he fought not only the enemy, but also generations of Cao Shi.
During the three generations of Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui, Sima Yi was walking on thin ice. Cao used to protect him, so he had to be careful everywhere and hide himself.
Decades of infighting have cultivated Sima Yi's strong endurance. He endured again and again, kept a low profile, did not compete with strong players, and struggled with opponents. Finally, a powerful opponent was defeated by his endurance, and he became the one who had the last laugh.
Patience is Sima Yi's magic weapon to win. He has a famous saying: "The last straw." He can see what others can't see; He can do what others can't. Sima Yi, through forbearance, also cleverly led the people's hearts to the back. Although he seized power by a bloody coup, he has a deep public opinion base, so he is successful.
The change of people's heart is caused by the decline and extravagance of Cao Shi Group, but it is also the result of Sima Yi's long-term planning. He skillfully borrowed public opinion, quietly wooed anti-Cao forces, set up his image of being suppressed and excluded, and won the greatest support. When the time came, he stood up and punched. In front of him, the seemingly powerful Cao Wei empire collapsed in an instant.
Sima Yi's image in history is not very good, perhaps this is the result of his long-term existence as Zhuge Liang's opponent, which is a bit unfair.
In fact, if Zhuge Liang is a master, Sima Yi is a master. He can open up his own world on other people's turf, develop slowly and quietly, and finally replace it. This process has lasted for decades. In addition to Sima Yi, I'm afraid there is no second person in history.
The above are the details about Sima Yi's means of faking illness. For more information, please pay attention to the history network!
