Niu Jima's Historical Allusions

Niu Jima's historical allusions are as follows

"Houniu Horse Prostitute" means that Si Marui is the son of Niu Shi, who inherits the throne on behalf of Sima. There are many records in historical documents, besides He, there are also related descriptions in He's Lu, Rong Zhai's Essays and Bin Tuilu.

Sima Yi suddenly touched something, thinking of the prediction that "there will be cows, there will be horses", and he was very taboo in his heart. He was afraid that Taurus would be bad for his children and grandchildren in the future, so he sent someone to invite him to dinner and poisoned the wine, but Taurus was generous and unguarded, so he died in a daze. (Song) Hong Mai's "Rong Zhai's Essay The Death of Jin and the Difference between Qin and Sui": "Qin, Jin and Sui are all similar, but Qin and Sui died and swept the floor. Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty was called "the Hou of Cattle and Horses Prostitutes", it was a sacrifice of the Sima family after all and lasted for hundreds of years.

The source of allusions

When Sima Yi was in power, he had the heart of Wei. At that time, there was a widely circulated divination book called "Xuanshitu", which recorded the prophecy that "cattle follow horses". Sima Yi also asked Guan Ju, an astrologer, to tell the fortune of his descendants. The result of Guan Ju's divination is not far from Xuanzang's Map. Sima yi didn't understand what it meant. Later, he became prime minister, and his power spread all over the world. One of his generals, Jinniu, fought for him and made great contributions.

Sima Yi suddenly touched something, thinking of the prediction that "there will be cows after, and there will be horses after", he was very jealous. He was worried that Taurus would be bad for his descendants in the future, so he sent someone to invite him to dinner. Poisoned in the wine, Taurus was magnanimous and unguarded, and "drank it and died", so he died inexplicably. Sima Shi asked doubtfully, "Taurus is loyal to his father, why should he be killed?" Sima Yixun said: "The Oracle has predicted that there will be cows behind the horse. Don't poison Taurus, children and grandchildren will have future troubles! "

From then on, Sima Yi thought that when Taurus died, future generations could rest easy, but things were unpredictable. Sima Jin, the grandson of Sima Yi, attacked the Queen Langya, and his wife Xiahou was his concubine. Xiahou's family is very romantic. Soon they hooked up with a small official named Jinniu in Wang Fu, and then they went to Si Marui.

It is said in the history books that Si Marui is not of royal blood, but the son of Jinniu, a small official in Langya Wang Fu. Because of the rumor that "cattle and horses go hand in hand", the warrior Taurus was unjustly killed. Later generations nicknamed Si Marui Niu Rui. For example, Li Zhi, a thinker of the Ming Dynasty, called the Eastern Jin Dynasty "the cattle family of the Southern Dynasties", not the Sima family.
