Sima Yi the Tactician (Chinese Edition)

Product Information

Sima Yi is significantly more devoted to his wife than in actual history, going so far as willingly disobeying a royal edict and losing his position because of his love for his wife. Historically, Sima Yi favored Lady Bai over Zhang Chunhua in later years, which drove the latter into a hunger strike. Sima Yi only apologized to his wife because his sons joined their mother and he didn't want his boys to suffer. note Yi calling Chunhua "(an) old thing" (Original: 老物) in this anecdote may be self-deprecating, given that he was about a decade older than his wife. Also, Yi and Chunhua had their youngest son Gan circa 232 CE, where he's about 53 and she's about 43. Deng Ai is often overlooked due to his meek nature and terrible stammer, but when he's relaxed he's a brilliant orator and agricultural genius.

The War of the Eight Princes coincided with the upheaval of the Five Barbarians; nomadic people who were resettling into the Chinese interior since the Eastern Han dynasty. The princes' infighting and mismanagement of the empire left Jin vulnerable to rebellions. In 304, the Ba- Di-led Cheng Han and the Xiongnu-led Han-Zhao broke away from Jin, beginning the Sixteen Kingdoms period. In the south, there were also the rebellions of the Man leader, Zhang Chang, between 303 and 304 and Han Chinese general, Chen Min between 305 and 307. [2] However, unlike their Ba-Di and Xiongnu contemporaries, they were eventually suppressed in the end. [3] [4] Prelude: Yang Jun (290-291) [ edit ] Ascension of Emperor Hui [ edit ]Lady Guo is portrayed as a member of the Sima household as Zhang Chunhua’s handmaid and sworn sister, while historically she was attached to the household of one Marquis of Tongdi. Also, when Lady Guo was married to Cao Pi, Cao Cao was already the Duke of Wei. In late 289, Emperor Wu developed a deadly illness and considered appointing his father-in-law, Yang Jun, and his uncle, the Prince of Ru'nan, Sima Liang, as Sima Zhong's regent. As the emperor's health declined, Yang Jun sought to monopolize his control over Zhong as consort kin, first by sending away Sima Liang to Xuchang and then by forcing his court rival, Wei Guan, into retirement. Yang Jun also hid the emperor's final decree appointing him and Sima Liang as co-regents while his daughter, the empress Yang Zhi, issued another edict making her father the sole regent. Emperor Wu was aware of Yang Jun's manipulations, but was too ill to stop him. A Servant who hides her devilish intention behind her angelic smile. Making others suffer brings utmost joy to her, especially when she toys around Zhuge Liang. Sima Jun had ten sons, among whom the most notable ones are Sima Chang and Sima Xin. [30] The names of the other eight sons are not recorded in history. Xun Yu’s suicide was both a wake up call for Cao Cao and the perfect opportunity for Yang Xiu to plant a forged letter to discredit both Xun Yu and Cao Pi

Sima Liang had five sons: Sima Sui, Sima Ju, Sima Yang, Sima Zong and Sima Xi. [26] Sima Zhou [ edit ] Xiahou Yuan Historically, Cao Cao first assumed the position of Duke of Wei in 213 CE, at least 4 years after his defeat at Chibi. He only became King (Prince) of Wei in 216 CE. Also, Liu Zhen historically died the year after Cao Cao became king (217 CE, the year where the Sima Gate Incident took place), while Xun Yu died the year before Cao became duke (212 CE); Xun You died in 214 CE, a few years before the Sima Gate incident.

It is assumed that this "younger sister" of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao was Princess Nanyang because she was their only biological sister, according to the Jin Shu. Sima Shi [ edit ] Yang XuSima Wang succeeded his uncle Sima Lang. He had four sons: Sima Yi, Sima Hong, Sima Zheng and Sima Mao. [41] Sima Huang [ edit ] Emperor Huai was regarded as an intelligent man, and compared to Emperor Hui, he had more say and was more active in handling state affairs. Yue supported Huai being on the throne, rejecting calls to have him replaced with the child Sima Tan and going as far as to having Tan executed. Yet, Yue was also wary of the new emperor's capabilities and was likely insecure about his own position due to the various coups and civil wars that led to the downfalls of his predecessors in recent years. Yue left the capital shortly after Huai's ascension, and even after becoming Prime Minister on 5 February 308, he remained deeply suspicious of Huai.
