In the long history of ancient history, nicknames are a precious honor used to evaluate those who have made a name for themselves on the stage of history. Among them, "loyalty" is regarded as the supreme glorious name. However, there have been two important figures in history who have been given this honor during the Three Kingdoms period, who is the real "loyal warrior"?
Zhuge Liang, from Langya County, Xuzhou, went to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan in his early years and lived in seclusion in Longzhong. In 201 AD, Liu Bei went south to Jingzhou, and after Xu Shu's recommendation, he visited the thatched house three times to seek Zhuge Liang's assistance. Under his resourceful guidance, Liu Bei successfully quelled the Anshi Rebellion, captured Jingzhou and Yizhou, established Shu Han, and became the overlord of one of the Three Kingdoms.
After Liu Bei became emperor, he appointed Zhuge Liang as prime minister and entrusted the country to him before his death. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Zhuge Liang was named the Marquis of Wuxiang and led the Yizhou pastor. After serving as prime minister, Zhuge Liang was diligent and cautious, and personally handled large and small affairs. Coalition with Soochow to improve tribal relations in the southwest. However, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains failed to achieve the goal of reviving the Han dynasty five times, and finally became ill due to overwork, and died of illness in Wuzhangyuan in the twelfth year of Jianxing (234) at the age of 54. Because of his loyalty, he made great achievements during the Nanping Mengshu and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and was posthumously praised by the later lord Liu Chan as a loyal military marquis, and later generations often called the martial marquis.
Sima Shi (March 23, 208, 255) was an important minister of the Jin Dynasty and the son of Emperor Xuan Sima Yi. Calm and strong, eloquent and strategic, he once assisted his father in controlling the capital Luoyang during the Gaopingling Rebellion, and contributed to the elimination of the Cao Shuang group. Following Sima Yi's death, Sima Shi monopolized the power of the imperial court, formulated regulations for the selection of officials, rectified the discipline, and the government and the opposition were solemn. In the Battle of Xincheng, Sima Shi defeated the army of Zhuge Ke of Wu State with a strategy, showing outstanding military talent.
In the sixth year of Jiaping (254), Sima Shi abolished Emperor Cao Fang of Wei and renamed Cao Chao as emperor. In the following year, he personally led his troops to quell the rebellion of Biqiujian and Wenqin. Although he successfully put down the rebellion, he died of illness on his way back to his division at the age of 48. Cao Chao was posthumously called "Zhongwu", Sima Zhao was named King Jing of Jin, and the temple name was Sejong.
For Sima Shi's "Zhongwu" nickname, history has left controversy. He deposed the emperor and killed the ministers, causing controversy. However, due to the power held by Sima Shi's younger brother Sima Zhao, the Cao Wei court had to pursue it according to the highest specifications. Whether this decision is reasonable or not is a question worth pondering in the long course of history.
In the light and shadow of ancient history, the Zhongwu Title is like a bright pearl, embedded in the precious memory of the history of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his loyal and outstanding military achievements, and became the pillar of Shu Han;Sima Shi left a good story with his eloquence and political skills. However, these two heroes who were given the nickname of "Loyal Warriors" have made the truth under the aura of the nickname more and more confusing due to their respective political achievements and controversies.
Now, through the fog of thousands of years of history, we may never be able to reveal who is the real "loyal warrior". Is it Zhuge Liang's loyal minister who is wise and brave and protects Shu Han with his life?Or is it Sima Shi, the master of power and scheming, who will do whatever it takes to maintain the peace of the world?The mystery left by history may forever become the most intriguing chapter of the Three Kingdoms period.
The history of the Three Kingdoms is revealed, who is the real "loyal warrior"?This article profoundly and comprehensively ** two important historical figures in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang and Sima Shi, and the "Zhongwu" nickname they carry. By dissecting the lives and deeds of the two figures in detail, the author shows their different styles and leadership styles on the historical stage.
First of all, the article's description of Zhuge Liang shows his outstanding talent as the prime minister of Shu Han. Zhuge Liang was deeply admired by later generations for his image of wisdom and bravery, especially in the exploits of Mengshu in Nanping and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and made great contributions to the establishment and consolidation of Shu Han. The article highlighted Zhuge Liang's image as a loyal minister, whose loyalty and dedication earned him the nickname "Marquis of Loyalty". This interpretation gives the reader a deeper understanding of Zhuge Liang's historical status and the reasons for his praise.
Secondly, the article turns to Sima Shi, and the description of him is richer and more complex. As an important figure in the Jin Dynasty, Sima Shi was known for his political skills and military talents. However, the article clearly points out the controversy over his acquisition of the nickname "Zhongwu". In events such as the deposition of the emperor and the defeat of Zhuge Ke of the Wu State, Sima Shi showed a master of power and scheming, but this also raised questions among historians and readers about whether he was worthy of the nickname "Zhongwu". This kind of in-depth thinking and independent perspective provides readers with more perspectives to think about.
The whole article appears objective and in-depth in the description of historical figures, avoiding simple hero worship or belittling, and presenting readers with a more realistic and three-dimensional historical picture. At the same time, the article's interpretation of the epithet of "Zhongwu" also triggered my thinking about the meaning of the epithet of historical figures. This kind of in-depth excavation and interpretation of history enables readers to reflect on the present and the future while understanding history.
However, the mention at the end of the article that "who is the real 'Zhongwu'" leaves the question to the reader is a thought-provoking approach. This treatment not only gives the reader enough space to think and make independent judgments, but also enhances the depth and breadth of the article. Under this question, readers may be more actively engaged in historical research and speculation, and form their own independent and profound opinions.
On the whole, this review not only has an in-depth interpretation of the content of the article, but also fully demonstrates the author's understanding and independent views on historical figures and events. Through the comparison and analysis of the two figures of the Three Kingdoms period, readers are not only interested in history, but also prompted readers to draw more historical enlightenment in their in-depth thinking.
