Life of the characters

Serve the yuan family

During the reign of Chu Ping, Yuan Shao fought against Dong Zhuo. P í and his brother Xin Ping joined Yuan Shao.

From the first year of Chuping to the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao expelled Han Fu, eliminated Gongsun Zan, occupied the vast area north of the Yellow River, and became the largest separatist force in the north. However, due to internal strife, he was defeated by Cao Cao in the Guandu battle in the fifth year of Jian'an (200), and never recovered. In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), after Yuan Shao died, his two sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought for the right of inheritance. Xin PI followed his brother Xin Ping and supported Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan.

Belong to Cao Ying

In the eighth year of Jian'an (203), Yuan Tan was defeated by Yuan Shang and was trapped in Pingyuan county (now the south of Pingyuan County in Shandong Province). When he was desperate, he adopted the advice of his counselors and sent Xinpi as an envoy to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Cao heard about the name of Xinpi, a famous scholar in Yangzhai for a long time, so he took the opportunity to leave Xinpi under his own account.

After Xinpi returned to Cao, he first analyzed the reasons why the yuan brothers turned against each other and suggested that Cao Cao should take the opportunity to send troops to Hebei. Although Cao Cao did not accept his suggestion, he was convinced of his brilliant analysis.

In the eighth year of Jian'an (203), Cao Cao led the army to attack Hebei Province, and the army marched into Yecheng, the capital of Jizhou. Yuan Shangwen withdrew from the plain and returned to rescue.

In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Jun attacked Yecheng, Yuan's hometown in Hebei Province. When he attacked Yecheng, Xinpi led his troops into the battle. He was on the southeast corner of the city. He saw Cao's army invade. He was angry that Xinping and Guotu had defeated Jizhou. So he ordered people to go to the prison of Yecheng and killed Xinping's family.

His nephew, Shen Rong, had a deep friendship with Xinpi. He was very dissatisfied with his uncle's behavior, so he sent a letter by flying arrow to communicate with Xinpi. After receiving the letter, Xinpi reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy and attacked inside and outside. Cao's army soon captured Yecheng and arrested him alive. SimpI took the whip to whip the head of the judge and scolded: "you are dead today, slave!" The judge turned back and said, "dog generation, it's you who made Jizhou broken. I want to kill you! Besides, you can hardly kill me today? " Later, the judge would rather die than surrender and was executed by Cao Cao.

In the 10th year of Jian'an (205), Cao Cao wiped out Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi led the remnant to flee to Wuhuan, and Hebei was included in Cao Cao's sphere of influence. He attached great importance to Xinpi's ability, went up to the imperial court, worshipped Xinpi as Yilang, and concurrently served as a servant.

In the 21th year of Jian'an (216), Cao Cao became king of Wei. Xinpi served as a servant of the king of Wei in the capacity of Han Yilang and servant. At that time, Cao Cao hesitated about who should be the prince of Wei. Cao Pi was established by his age, Cao Zhi was favored by his talent, and the civil and military ministers had their own direction. Xinpi insisted on the etiquette and law of being the head of the state and firmly supported the establishment of Cao Pi. The next year, after Cao Pi was made the prince of Wei, he was overjoyed, put his arms around Xinpi's neck and said, "Mr. Xin, do you know? I'm so happy Xinpi could not help but feel astonished at Cao Pi's action.

In the 25th year of Jian'an (220), Cao Cao died of illness, and the crown prince Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei. Shi Xinpi, the prince of Wei and the Prime Minister of Han, contacted his ministers and wrote to Cao Pi to persuade him to be emperor of Han Dynasty. Cao Pi had this idea for a long time, and soon threatened Emperor Xian to abdicate. When Cao Pi established the Wei Dynasty, Xinpi was granted the rank of Marquis of Guannei and served as a servant.

Lead the train

In the first year of Huangchu (220), Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, wanted to move 100000 families from Jizhou to Luoyang. At that time, drought, locust plague and severe famine occurred in the Central Plains. All the officials thought that it was not suitable to do so in the year of famine. Emperor Wen of Wei was headstrong and willful. Xinpi, who served as a servant, strongly opposed it and once again admonished the emperor to take back his life. Wei Wendi was very angry and said to Xinpi, "I don't want to talk about it with you." SimpI said calmly: "Your Majesty, since you don't think you are unworthy of me, let me accompany you. How can your majesty consult with his subordinates? What's more, what I'm talking about is not a personal matter, it's related to the safety of the country, so I have to say it! " Wei Wen emperor speechless, stand up to go back to the palace, Xinpi hold his skirt, Wei Wen emperor force back clothes, bitterly back to the palace. After a while, his anger slightly subsided, and then came out to ask SimpI: "George, why do you have to work hard against me?" Xinpi sincerely said: "in this famine years, they are forced to migrate to Henan, and there is no food to relieve them. This will make them feel resentment and lose their hearts. Therefore, I have to strive for your Majesty's return!" In the end, Emperor Wen of Wei ordered to move 50000 households, which was the result of Xinpi's efforts. Nevertheless, it was still a huge migration of people, which brought great difficulties to the migrating people. Yang Qidan of the Sui Dynasty painted the picture of Xinpi leading train. When Li Han, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, collected all kinds of allusions from ancient and modern times and compiled mengqiu, he specially included the allusion of Xinpi leading train.

Wei Wendi liked hunting. Once when he was with him, he said, "I'm so happy hunting!" SimpI said, "it's a pleasure for your majesty, but it's a pain for your ministers." After that, Emperor Wen of Wei seldom hunted.

Follow the army to attack Wu

In 222, Emperor Wen of Wei ordered general Cao Zhen to attack Jiangling, an important military town of the eastern Wu Dynasty. Jiangling was unable to attack for a long time. Later, because of the flood of the Yangtze River, the Wei army withdrew and returned to the north. At this time, Xinpi was granted the title of Marquis of Guangping Pavilion, still serving as the servant.

In 224, Emperor Wen of Wei was ready to fight against Wu. Xinpi tried his best to dissuade him. He pointed out that when the world was just settled, it would certainly destroy the social economy which had just been able to recover and develop. At that time, Cao Cao had many expeditions to the south, but they were all blocked by rivers, seas and lakes. Now that the military strength is not stronger than it was in those days, it's better to let the common people recuperate. When the people are rich and the country is strong, Wu can be destroyed at one stroke. But his proposal was rejected by Wei Wendi. As a result, we launched 100000 troops and fought for several years, but we still sighed and failed.

Hold fast to the war

In 226, Wei Wendi died of illness and Wei Mingdi succeeded to the throne. Xinbijin was granted the title of Marquis of Yingxiang. At that time, Liu Fang, the governor of Zhongshu, was favored by the emperor of Wei and Ming. They ruled the government arbitrarily, and the ministers of the court took refuge in them one after another. However, Xinpi refused to follow the trend of the times. He was just in everything and never used words. His son Xin Chang was afraid that his father would be slandered and framed. He advised him to have a good relationship with Liu Fang and Sun Zi, and was severely reprimanded by him.

In the second year of Qinglong (234), Zhuge Liang of the Shu Dynasty went out of Qishan six times to attack Wei. The emperor ordered the general Sima Yi to lead the army to resist. When the two armies confronted each other, Sima Yi was at ease, but Zhuge Liang ignored his repeated challenges. Later, Zhuge Liang sent people to send Sima Yi women's clothes to stimulate him to fight. All the generals of Wei army were ashamed of this and demanded to fight. Sima Yi wrote to the emperor of Wei Ming and asked to go to war, but the emperor refused. Fearing that the generals would not listen to the dispatch, the emperor sent Xinpi as an emissary to the camp of the Wei army to contain the generals' actions. The generals were not brave enough to enforce the law. Sima Yi repeatedly asked to send troops, but Xinpi refused. After more than three months of confrontation between the two armies in wuzhangyuan, Zhuge Liang was unable to advance and could not give up. Later, he worked hard and became ill and died in the army. After the Wei army returned to the dynasty, Xinpi served as a guard. Soon after he died of illness, the Ming Emperor gave him the posthumous title of Suhou.

Many years later, Xinpi was entitled to Wei Wendi temple.

Character evaluation

Liu Fang, Sun Zi: "Xinpi is really bright and appropriate, but its nature is rigid and specialized."

Chen Shou: "Xinpi, Yangfu, just bright gongzhi, is admonishing bandits bow, Yahu Jian high wind Yan."

He Shangzhi: "the way of the Qing Dynasty is moving, the rule of the emperor is becoming, the ancient and modern admonitions are deep, and the safety is never forgotten. If you are worthy of Jian and Xinpi, you will certainly be offended by Yan Qijian, but your ministers will be busy, and you will always be obedient. "

Li Shi, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, said: "when you hear about the Xinpi, you will find that the empress of the Wei Dynasty has a bird's breath, you will exhaust your loyalty and break your head, and you will be encouraged to think about offering a replacement, so as to calm down whether it is possible or not. Don't say that there is no harm, that it is self-evident; don't say that there is no harm, that small things make a big difference. "

Wang Fuzhi: "in Zihuan's time, Jia Xu, Xin PI, Liu Hua and Sun Zi all sat thousands of miles away, and they would hold it."

Anecdotes and allusions

Xinpi was straightforward. For example, during the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, he repeatedly admonished him: once, Emperor Wen intended to move 100000 families from Jizhou to Henan, but at that time, the officials objected on the grounds of successive years of locust plague and severe famine, but Emperor Wen insisted. So Xinpi asked for a meeting and urged Emperor Wen, who changed his mind and moved only five people
