Why didn t Sima Yi assist the prince like Zhuge Liang?

In fact, Sima Yi was also forced, and he tried his best to assist the little emperor in sorting out the Wei State in the early stage, but then the Cao family couldn't tolerate him, and they were afraid that he would seize power, so they wanted to kill him quickly, so Sima Yi instead of sitting still, it was better to fight hard and replace him.

Sima Yi had wolf ambitions, and Cao Cao had already seen it at that time, so he would suppress it if he used it, so that Sima Yi could not get the military power, and later it should be used for Wei State, and there was really no talent.

The Cao family made full use of the family personnel and took good precautions against Sima Yi, who was working with his head every day.

Because he is Sima Yi, he is not Zhuge Liang.

Looking at the characters of the Three Kingdoms, everyone must have a very deep understanding of Cao Cao. There are many people who have assisted Cao Cao, and Xun Yu is one of them. Then many people will ask, if Cao Cao had asked Sima Yi to assist him at that time, would he have been able to dominate the world a long time ago?

But in history, Sima Yi did not assist Cao Cao, but assisted Cao Cao's son Cao Pi. Why is that? Let me share my thoughts!

But Sima Yi chose to assist Cao Pi, and it was precisely because Cao Pi's mind was particularly in line with him that if Cao Pi could ascend to the throne one day, he would also be able to display his ambitions in the court. Sima Yi's ability is very strong, and Cao Cao also asked him to be his advisor, but Sima Yi refused. In history, Sima Yi did not assist Cao Cao, and the real reason is only known to him.

Cao Cao is also a hero in the Three Kingdoms, and there are many capable soldiers who assist him, and he may not care about Sima Yi.

Because Cao Cao felt that Sima Yi was very ambitious, and Cao Cao was a very suspicious monarch, it was not that Sima Yi did not want to assist Cao Cao, but that Cao Cao prevented Sima Yi from usurping the throne and did not let him assist.

Without assisting Cao Cao, Sima Yi's choice was very wise, he had seen through Cao Cao and knew that Cao Cao liked Cao Zhi and didn't like Cao Pi, although Cao Zhi was very respected, but it lacked the ability to govern the country, so Sima Yi chose to stand on Cao Pi's side.

Because Sima Yi knew that Cao Cao had been on guard against him, he didn't believe him, and because of this, Sima Yi didn't assist Cao Cao.

I think there are two factors, one is that Sima Yi was relatively low-key at that time and was not discovered, and it is also possible that Cao Cao was jealous of Sima Yi's talent, which led to the lack of appointment during his reign.

This is because Sima Yi is afraid that after Cao Cao knows his amazing talent, he will encounter Cao Cao's extermination after assisting Cao Cao, so as not to assist others.

Sima Yi saw that Cao Cao couldn't listen to others denying him, and the strategists around him were all killed by Cao Cao, so he chose to retire to protect himself.

Because Zhuge Liang's son always followed Zhuge Liang and never became independent. And Sima Yi's son always exercises himself, so Zhuge Liang's son is not Sima Yi's son's opponent.

Although Zhuge Liang's son is very ordinary, Zhi Shao's family did not surrender to the enemy and sacrificed his life for the country, which can be regarded as a hero.

Because Sima Yi spent a lot of time cultivating his son, but Zhuge Liang didn't have extra time to cultivate his son, he was not an opponent.

During the Three Kingdoms, many people liked to regard Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi as equal opponents. And in the Three Kingdoms Strategist Rankings, there has been a long discussion about the ranking of the two people. However, there has been no conclusive conclusion, if we put aside the two of them to discuss their descendants, we can find that the difference between the descendants of the two families is particularly large.

But if you think about it, you can also find that the reason is actually very simple. <>

Among the descendants, the descendants of the Sima family can be said to have formed a crushing situation against the descendants of the Zhuge family. The first main reason is that in the Shu Kingdom at that time, the Zhuge family could be said to be outstanding, and basically had no rights to threaten them. After Liu Bei's death, the entire Shu Kingdom can be said to be Zhuge Liang's Yiyantang.

Therefore, in Shu at that time, Zhuge Liang basically had no political enemies, and all the political power was in his hands. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's descendants would not have experienced the harshness of the imperial court at that time. <>

On the other hand, the Sima family is different, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao has been suppressing the Sima family when he was alive. The Sima family was loyal at that time, but they could not be trusted by Cao Cao, so they always played the role of pawns in the imperial court. This phenomenon did not change until Cao Cao's death and Cao Pi's ascension to the throne.

Because Zhuge Liang had died at that time, the Sima family profited a lot from the war against Shu. <>

Zhuge Liang's children died unexpectedly in the battle, but the Sima family had more descendants, so they branched out in the imperial court, coupled with the accumulation of military merits, so the Sima family became bigger and bigger in the later period, gradually replacing the Cao family and becoming the first family in the imperial court at that time. The old saying has the heart of Yun Sima Zhao, and everyone knows it. Even though everyone knew at that time that the family would rebel one day, the Cao family couldn't make any changes.

Because at that time, the Sima family not only held the military and political power, but also was their supporter in the court, so after Cao Shuang**, the Sima family quickly mastered the court and established its own political power.

Because Zhuge Liang's son did not inherit his father's good genes, and he did not discipline him well since he was a child, and Sima Yi's son was just the opposite.

Because not all the sons of talented people have inherited their talents, and some people can't inherit their father's excellent genes at all, such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, their sons!

The most important thing is that they have different ways of educating their children. Sima Yi already had a son before he became an official, and he had a lot of time to accompany his sons' growth, and he was able to do it himself and lead by example. Zhuge Liang had a son after becoming the prime minister of Shu Han, because he was busy with national affairs, he didn't have much time to guide the growth of his children.

This is also one of the main reasons for the obvious gap between their sons and later on.

The times were different at that time, Zhuge Liang fought for many years and had no time to educate his son, while Sima Yi was at home to educate his children in order to hide his talent.
