Although Emperor Hui was now in Chang’an, the influential ministers, Xun Fan, Liu Tun, and Zhou Fu, were left behind in Luoyang to run a separate court. Thus, there were two courts governing the empire, and Chang’an was referred to as the “Western Court” (西臺) while Luoyang was referred to as the “Eastern Court” (東臺). The Eastern Court reinstated Yang Xianrong as the empress, but the following year, she was deposed by Zhang Fang. Often lampshaded by Sima Yi himself in his early career, the turtle due to its reluctance with being outside of its shell for too long. Later on in his career when commanding the armies of Wei, his staff would also lampshade this when he refused to lead his armies against Zhuge Liang at Mount Qi. On a meta level, one may also notice that he is a turtle as he simply outlived many of his opponents. note Sima Fu was an even better turtle than his brother; he died at the grand old age of 92, well into the reign of his grand-nephew as emperor of Jin.

The Sanguozhi mentioned that Xun Yi married a younger sister of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, but did not specifically mention that she was Princess Nanyang. 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 Xu Ying's party managed to reach Luoyang, but with very little troops, Zhang Fang was able to dominate him and take possession of Emperor Hui. For a brief period, Zhang Fang was in charge of state affairs. He remained with the in Luoyang for a few more months, but his soldiers were becoming restless and were suggesting him to move the emperor to Chang'an. On 14 December 304, Zhang Fang forced Emperor Hui to stay at the ramparts he built during his war with Sima Ai. With the emperor away, Zhang Fang's men looted the palaces in the capital. He also planned to burn them down as well, but was persuaded not to by Lu Zhi. In 225, Cao Pi advanced against the rival state of Eastern Wu, and entrusted Sima Yi with command over the capital in his absence. He compared Sima Yi to Xiao He, whose quiet contributions behind the battle lines earned him much praise. [2] Upon returning from the military expedition, Cao Pi once again praised his servant, saying "As I did battle in the east, you stayed in the capital and guarded our state against Shu in the west. When I go to battle in the west against Shu, I'll entrust you with defence against Wu in the east." Sima Yi was soon given the post of Lushang Shushi (録尚書事), which at that time held the same real power and responsibilities as Imperial Chancellor. 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.

In autumn 300, after Lun attempted to take his military authority away, the Prince of Huainan, Sima Yun rebelled against Lun with only 700 men in Luoyang. Lun was nearly killed in the fighting, but one of his supporters pretended to defect to Yun and killed him, ending his rebellion. [9] The rebellion provided Lun and Sun Xiu with pretext to purge their court rivals and oppositions. Meanwhile, the Prince of Qi, Sima Jiong, who played a vital part in Empress Jia's arrest, was unhappy with the positions he received under Lun's administration. Sensing his discontent, Lun had Jiong assigned away to Xuchang. Historically, Hua Tuo, Yang Biao and Sima Fang were not involved in Dong Cheng's Belt Edict plot to assassinate Cao Cao. Also, Hua Tuo's "Five Beasts Dance" was passed down to his disciple Wu Pu, and not Sima Yi; Hua himself was not recorded to have any links to the Sima family. note Historically, Yang Biao did have an unpleasant incident with Cao Cao and Man Chong, but the context was totally different; at an official banquet after Emperor Xian had settled down in Xu County, Cao saw that Yang looked unhappy, and thought that Yang wanted to harm him. Later that year, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor; Cao took the opportunity to frame Yang as a traitor in cahoots with Yuan to remove Emperor Xian (Yang and Yuan were relatives, Yang Xiu's mother being Yuan Shu's sister). Besides Kong Rong interceding for Yang, as the main investigator, Man Chong also advised Cao not to execute Yang without firm evidence. In the end, Cao released Yang. In the same incident, Kong and Xun Yu implored Man not to use torture on Yang during investigations. Man refused to do so, incurring the anger of Kong and Xun. However, after the pair knew of Man's words to Cao, they became more friendly towards Man. Later, Sima Yong appointed Sima Yue as the Grand Tutor in hopes of resolving the conflict between their sides. Yong also granted Yue's brothers, Sima Lue and Sima Mo military command in Luoyang and over Ji province respectively. Yue declined his office, but for the time being, it appeared that the two sides had reached an agreement. Since Wang Jun had left Ye, Yue sent Mo to guard the city, while Lue remained in his position as Commander over Qing province. Seeing that many parts of the empire have been devastated by warfare and rebellion, Yong issued an edict encouraging everyone to settle for peace. In another edict, he made himself Commander of all imperial military forces.

He had four sons with Lady Fu: Sima Liang, Sima Zhou, Sima Jing [9] and Sima Jun. Sima Jing died early (presumably without a male heir) and was succeeded by Sima Zhao's son Sima Ji. [10]Blessed with great intelligence from a young age, Sima Yi is one of China's greatest strategists. Loyal only to himself, he schemes and plots to outwit Zhuge Liang and pave the way for his own family to usurp the throne and establish a new dynasty. Death Seeker: Lady Bai. As the carriage she was in burns during an assassination attempt, she could have escaped. After remembering how the cautious and humble Sima Yi she knew was gone, only to be replaced by a power-hungry mass murderer, she willingly remained in the burning carriage. Lonely at the Top: By the last episode of part 2, while Sima Yi had obtained absolute power, he had lost Chunhua and Lingyun, and his sons respect and fear him rather than love him. Even Hou Ji became estranged from him once he confirmed how Xiao Yuan died. The second part, subtitled Growling Tiger, Roaring Dragon (虎啸龙吟，"hu xiao long yin") begins near the end of Cao Pi's reign, and focuses on Sima's contributions to the state of Wei following the total dissolution of the Han dynasty. In this part, he takes a more active role in Wei by commanding the armies against rival states Wu and Shu (referred to in-series by its own officials as "Han", just as how its own people and officials would have referred to it historically), eventually taking on the role of regent under the third Wei emperor Cao Fang. While Sima Yi was genuinely in a catatonic state for a time, he spent years unresponsive and bedridden after Chunhua's death. During that time, Cao Shuang's attention moved away from the Sima family as he deemed them no longer a threat so they could continue plotting their eventual coup. note Historically, the Incident at Gaoping Tombs took place about two years after Chunhua's death.
