The image of Cao Cao in Peking Opera's facial makeup is a treacherous white face. This should be the impression most people have of him. Because he has been planning for all his life, he will inevitably end up with the reputation of being an old treacherous, and eventually died of headaches. Even after his death, Cao Cao was racking his brains to make plans. In order to prevent future generations from digging his grave, he ordered people to dig a total of 72 tombs, all of which were scattered in various areas, so confusing. Compared with his behavior, only Cao Cao can do it.
However, when we carefully study the history of the Three Kingdoms, it is not difficult to discover that Sima Yi is the old cunning man, and because of this, he also laughed till the end. But his approach is much better than Cao Cao!
Sima Yi made a will when he was alive, and his descendants were not allowed to visit his grave. After more than a thousand years, people discovered his conspiracy. When Sima Yi passed away, he prepared a tomb for himself in the Shouyang Mountain, Henan Province-Plateau Mausoleum, but unlike the normal tomb, the tomb he built did not seal the tomb and did not have a tomb building. The most important point was that he was not allowed to Planting trees in front of the grave and not setting up burial mounds is the so-called "no graves or trees". After he died, he was also dressed in plain clothes with no funeral objects around him, and no one was allowed to bury him with him. These signs indicate that Sima Yi again Deliberately conceal the location of his tomb.
If Sima Yi is not a treacherous person in historical evaluation, his status during his lifetime is not so low-key. According to the "Book of Rites", Sima Yi's descendants want to sweep their graves and worship for him. No, his children and grandchildren have also done this, and they have never swept the tomb for him. People are puzzled about this. If you say that you are dressed in plain clothes and do not bring funeral objects, you can barely understand it as a low-key performance.But not allowing future generations to sweep their graves and worship for them. This is very unreasonable. As the saying goes, "the emperor’s sentiments are mourned, and the etiquette is added." Worshiping ancestors is an even more ancient truth. Why is Sima Yi so jealous? Does he have any unspeakable concealment? ?
A passage from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" helped us find the answer, "Aunts and women are suitable to kill everyone" , this sentence is a heinous crime he committed after the Gaoping Ling change, because Sima Yizhu Killing Cao Shuang and the three tribes of his party is still not giving up, but also killing the aunts, sisters, and daughters who should not have been involved outside the tribes, so Sima Yi's "no grave or tree" is because of too much work. Absolutely, he was afraid of the enemy digging the grave and whip the corpse. In addition, he was also afraid that someone would imitate his method of launching a coup. So this is the reason why he was buried in such a low-key "no grave or tree".
Since then, his tomb has naturally disappeared in Shouyang Mountain. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, no one will know the exact location of his tomb. It can be said that it has passed since 251. For thousands of years, people finally forgot his tomb in the long river of history, let alone those who wanted to dig graves and whip the corpse to avenge him. Now that even the real tomb of Cao Cao has been excavated and found, Sima Yi has been lying alone and quietly in the tomb on the plateau without being disturbed for thousands of years. He has not been found so far. I have to say that Sima Yi is really an old and cunning slippery head. admire.
