Sima Zhao After Sima Yi s death, why didn t he become a king, what was he worried about or his abili

As the final victorious player in the Three Kingdoms, the Sima family. The ambitious Sima Zhao did not choose to be king after Sima Yi's death. It's not because his ability is not good, but because he didn't make great achievements like his brother Sima Shi, and he was worried that everyone would not accept it after becoming emperor.

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi took advantage of the gap when Cao Shuang went to Gaopingling to worship and launched the Gaopingling Mutiny and took control of Luoyang, Kyoto. Subsequently, the power of Cao Wei fell into the hands of the Sima family in a real sense. At this time, although Sima Yi was in power, he had no ambition to be the emperor.

After his death, his son Sima Shi took over the reins. But within a few years, Sima Shi also passed away one after another, and for Sima Zhao, who was about to go into battle, he had the opportunity to usurp the throne and become emperor, but he still did not claim the emperor. At that time, everyone knew Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by knew it.

But Sima Zhao wanted to be the emperor but didn't dare to be the emperor, and the reason was very helpless.

It is well known that his father Sima Yi and his eldest brother Sima Shi did not kill the emperor and claim the emperor. Moreover, the power he gained was won precisely because of the former's unremitting efforts and outstanding military exploits. On the other hand, he did not build his own great achievements like the former, and his role was only as a successor.

He was also worried that the crowd would not accept it and cause unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, he became a king and had all kinds of land, status and glory. Even if he wanted to be emperor again, he didn't need to take this risk, and besides, the time was not ripe, his status was already equal to that of the emperor. In addition, he also died early, and finally left the matter of becoming emperor to his son Sima Yan.

I feel like it's just that the time wasn't right, and if the time base arrived, he would have boarded it.

Because he wants to be rightfully on the throne, and now is not the best time.

Because he was not strong enough to be a king at that time, he did not ascend to the throne.

Because he wants others to know that he doesn't want to be an emperor, so that he can be a king in the name of righteousness.

Sima Yi. Not with Sima Zhao.

The relationship is not good, the two of them are father and son, there is no good or bad difference, and in the end Sima Yi is to let Sima Shi.

Succeeding to the throne is not to let Sima Zhao succeed to the throne. Later, Sima Shi passed the throne to Sima Zhao.

1. Sima Yi has his own arrangements.

Sima Yi knew that it would take three or four generations to complete the unification of the Sima family, so he first let Sima Shi inherit it, and then suppress all those who opposed the Sima family.

Then Sima Zhao inherited it, and Sima Zhao's main job was to appease, because Sima Zhao's personality was more suitable for this job, so Sima Yiqi had his own arrangements. In the end, Sima Zhao's son inherited the family business, Sima Yan.

After ascending the throne, although he inherited some traditions of Sima Zhao, because he did not grasp the balance well, the power was too dispersed.

Second, Sima Zhao's personality is suitable for pacifying work.

According to Sima Yi's work arrangement before his death, Sima Zhao's main job is to do some pacification work. This work is relatively easy for Sima Zhao, and he is also very good at it.

Sima Yi is also a schemist, he has calculated his dynasty change, and he knows how to use his son's expertise to make arrangements. This is the same as the leadership arrangement of our modern society, putting the right people in the right position, and doing the right work can improve work efficiency.

Make the job easier.

3. Sima Zhao is ambitious.

Sima Zhao was actually very ambitious about ascending to the throne, and Sima Yi also saw his ambition, but it was not peaceful at that time, so he needed a more suitable person to inherit it, so he chose Sima Shi.

Sima Yi has long been carefully selected for the successor, Sima Zhao has enough ambition, but his ambition is too obvious, easy to be used by others Sima Zhao, in fact, his personality is still priority and calm, he knows that his father wants to inherit the throne to his eldest brother, so he is very unhappy, but he does not show it obviously, because he knows that his eldest brother has no son, which means that his eldest brother has no way to inherit the throne to the next one.

Because Sima Shi died, the two brothers agreed that they would be brothers and brothers, so after Sima Shi's death, Sima Zhao took the throne.

The reason why Sima Zhao succeeded to the throne in the end was because Sima Zhao was very capable, and he had been by Sima Yi's side for a long time. learned a lot of Sima Yi's real talents, so he finally succeeded to the throne.

In fact, it was because Sima Zhao was also related by blood at that time, and then he was also a very strong and powerful person, so he was willing to pass on the throne to him.

After Sima Yi's death, why did Sima Shi and Sima Zhao not fight infighting? The main reason is that because Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, the two brothers, are a community of interests, and there is no substantive contradiction between the two.

First of all, Sima Shi was already the central protector of the Cao Wei Dynasty a long time ago, and he was in charge of the imperial forbidden army at the same time as Xiahou Xuan, a relative of the imperial state at that time. The famous 3,000 dead soldiers of the Sima family in the Gaopingling Incident were all commanded by Sima Shi when Sima Yi was old and weak and was monitored by the Cao family, so it can be said that the power of the Sima family has always been the responsibility of Sima Shi. On the other hand, Sima Zhao was not as talented as Sima Shi at that time.

Secondly, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, historical records record that Sima Shi had a total of five daughters but no sons, and the only son was inherited from his younger brother Sima Zhao, so there is no dispute between the two for the inheritance of the Sima family, so there is no fundamental conflict of interests between the two brothers. Moreover, even if Sima Zhao has ambitions, he has no strength to fight.

Thirdly, in terms of strength, Sima Shi's military talents and political means were superior to Sima Zhao.

In the end, Sima Zhao still admired and recognized his brother Sima Shi, and said more than once that "the world is the world, and King Jing (Sima Shi) is also the world." In other words, Sima Zhao admired his eldest brother's merits and abilities very much.

Unfortunately, Sima Shi, who was in charge of military power, died relatively early. Of course, the power of the Sima family eventually fell into the hands of Sima Zhao. Because Sima Shi is in trouble outside all the year round, Sima Zhao is in Luoyang all the year round.

Except for Sima Zhao, no one in the Sima family can carry the heavy responsibility of the Sima family.

All in all, Sima Zhao killed the monarch and completed the final political change from Cao Wei to the Western Jin Dynasty. It also made a very bad example for the Shi clan in the world, and later the Sima family was hollowed out by the Shi clan for a long time, which was also the beginning of this precedent, and the Sima family was able to finally establish the Western Jin Dynasty, which was also the best result because Sima Shi and Sima Zhao did not have infighting.

Because the two brothers of the Sima family understand that infighting has all kinds of harm and no benefit, they know that only unity can prosper the Sima family, and the two of them have a good relationship, and they have no objection to who will be the emperor, so there is no infighting.

This is because Sima Yi made a will before his death, forbidding his children to compete for the throne after his death, and there was a war, causing both sides to lose. At the same time, Sima Yi also distributed the land and resources of the entire country to his sons, so that the resources were equalized and disputes avoided.

Because there is no need, and the two of them are brothers, the current major affairs are undecided, and the brothers need to cooperate to control the government.

The main reason is that he is weak, Sima Shi's prestige at that time, especially the prestige in the army, is not a little higher than Sima Zhao.

Sima Shi and Sima Qing talked about Bu Zhao's failure to kill each other after Sima Yi's death because of the common interests of the family.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao have been working under Sima Yi for a long time, and they have learned to forbear, be flexible, and learn to be stupid in front of the strong, but in fact, they are ruthless in their hearts, and they will be repaid. For the sake of the Sima family's old business, they learned to keep warm in a group, and they also knew that infighting would only consume their own strength. In the process of the rising career of the Sima family, the three of them have a clear division of labor, and for the sake of lofty ideals and common interests, they must be consistent with the outside world.

There is also the fact that Sima Shi has no sons, only five daughters. This is also an important point. Once Sima Shi, who has no son, dies, the power of the entire Sima family will inevitably be taken over by Sima Zhao, and only when Sima Zhao takes over can he deal with this complicated situation and carry forward the career of the Sima family.

It seems that Sima Zhao saw this, so he only needs to wait for his brother Sima Shi to die, then Yusui can be the boss safely, and there is no need to fight with his brother for this boss at all.

Sima Yi's early life

Sima is a descendant of Gao Yang's son Chongli, that is, Xia Guan Zhurong. From ancient times to the Shang Dynasty, he inherited the position of Xia Guan, and in the Zhou Dynasty, Xia Guan was renamed Sima. During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, the ancestor Cheng Boxiu's father had a meritorious role in pacifying Xu Fang, and gave Sima a family name.

Sima Yi's twelfth ancestor, Sima Wei, followed Xiang Yu to destroy Qin, was named King Yin, and built the capital of Hanoi. During the Han Dynasty, it became Hanoi County, where the Sima family lived for generations.

Sima Yi's great-grandfather Sima Jun was the general of the expedition to the west during the reign of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, his great-grandfather Sima Liang was Yuzhang Taishou, his grandfather Sima Jun was Yingchuan Taishou, and his father Sima Fang was Jing Zhaoyin. Sima Fangyu had eight sons, because there was a word "Da" in the word, and he was known as Sima Bada at that time. Sima Yi is Sima Fang's second son, and he was strategicistic when he was a teenager.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sima Yi was born in troubled times. Before Sima Yi was twenty years old, Yang Jun had met him and said that he was by no means an ordinary son.

Sima Yi had a good relationship with Hu Zhao when he was a teenager, and Zhou Sheng wanted to kill Sima Yi. When Hu Zhao found out, he immediately ventured into danger to find Zhou Sheng and his party between the mountains and ponds, and begged them to let Sima Yi go, but Zhou Sheng refused at first, but Hu Zhao's sincerity in crying finally moved him and saved Sima Yi.
