Why is Si Marui called Niu Rui?

Si Marui was nicknamed Niu Rui by the world, because some historical records recorded that he was not the blood of Sima royal family, but his mother had an affair with a small official named Jinniu in the court, and then Si Marui was born.

However, what needs to be clarified here is that this junior official in the government was not a great Taurus general at that time, that is to say, they just had the same name. When Cao Wei was founded, the general Jinniu was a subordinate of Sima Yi, and Jinniu won many battles.

Many people who don't know Si Marui is the great-grandson of Sima Yi, but in terms of blood relationship, Si Marui is not Sima Yi's own grandson, so he is called Si Marui Niurui.

It is said that there was a book circulating at that time, which recorded the prophecy that "cattle follow horses". Sima Yi, who heard this prophecy, was very upset, so she went to the master to observe the night sky and divination, and the result was exactly the same as the prophecy. Therefore, Sima Yi is very worried that the Taurus in the DPRK will be bad for Sima Shi, and there has always been a knot in her heart, which makes her nervous and troublesome. In order to prevent this, he decided to get rid of Taurus. So he sent someone to invite Taurus to dinner. Taurus is aboveboard and has no precautions against Sima Yi. Unexpectedly, he drank the wine poisoned by Sima Yi and finally died.

After the death of Taurus, Sima Yi finally recovered from his heart disease. However, after all, people are not as good as the sky. At that time, Si Marui's mother had an improper relationship with a small official named Jinniu, who was a government official. Later, Si Marui was nicknamed Niu Rui. Therefore, the death of General Taurus is purely abnormal. At the same time, this prediction has also become a reality. Si Marui is not the blood of Sima family, but established the Eastern Jin Dynasty with the blood of Sima family. Therefore, Si Marui is also known as Niu Rui, and even the Eastern Jin Dynasty he founded is also known as the "Niu Jia of Southern Dynasties".
