Life of the characters

A wise girl from a famous family

Xin Xianying is intelligent and talented, and is good at learning from others. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi competed for the position of son of the world. Later, Cao Pi was established. He was very upset and held Xin Pi's neck and said, "Xin Jun, do you know how happy I am?" Hsin PI later told his daughter Hsien Ying about Cao Pi's performance. Hsien Ying, then in her twenties, sighed: "the prince is the one who takes the place of the king in governing the country. When acting on behalf of a monarch, you can't act without anxiety, and you can't preside over state affairs without fear. How can you be so happy when you should be worried? How can the state of Wei prosper? "

Persuade my brother to be loyal

In 249 A.D. (the tenth year of Zhengshi), Sima Yi, the Taifu, launched the Gaoping mausoleum revolution to kill Cao Shuang. Because Cao Shuang had left Luoyang, he closed the gate of Luoyang. At that time, Xin Xianying's younger brother Xin Chang joined the army as general Cao Shuang and stayed in Luoyang. Lu Zhi called Xin Chang to join Cao Shuang. Xin Chang was afraid of the situation and was at a loss. He asked Xin Xianying for advice. Xin Xianying said: "things in the world can't be predicted, but in my judgment, Taifu (referring to Sima Yi) was forced to do so (referring to the coup)! Before the death of the Ming emperor, he once charged the afterlife with Taifu's arm, and people in the court still remember his last words. Both Cao Shuang and Taifu were appointed by the emperor of Ming Dynasty. However, Cao Shuang was only in power and acted with arrogance and extravagance. He was unfaithful to the royal family and was not honest in human relations. Taifu's move is just to get rid of Cao Shuang. " Xin Chang asked: "can this be done?" Hsin Hsien Ying replied, "how can it be unsuccessful? Cao Shuang's talent is not Taifu's opponent. " Xin Chang said, "then can I go without leaving the city?" Xin Xianying said, "how can we not go? Duty is the great righteousness of human relations. When we know that others are in trouble, we will be compassionate. Now, it's ominous for you to do things for others but abandon your responsibilities. You can't do so. As for dying for others and being appointed by others, you are not Cao Shuang's confidant, but just out of the responsibility of following the public. " After hearing his sister's analysis, Xin Chang left the city with Luzhi. Later, Sima Yi succeeded in killing Cao Shuang and letting Xin Chang go. Xin Chang said, "if I hadn't discussed with my sister, I would have done something unjust." In Chapter 117 of the famous chapter novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xin Xianying also records his analysis of Sima Yi's dealing with Cao Shuang and persuading his younger brother to do his duty.

The bell Club

In 262, Zhong Hui was the general of Zhenxi. Xin Xianying asked his nephew Yang Hu, "why did Zhong Shiji send troops to the west?" Yang Hu replied, "it's to destroy Shu." Xin Xianying said: "Zhong will be reckless in handling affairs. This is not a long-term subordinate attitude. I'm afraid he will have different aspirations." Yang Hu didn't dare to talk more, so he advised Xin Xianying: "please don't talk too much, aunt." Later, Zhong Hui enlisted Yang Dan and Xin Xianying's son Yang Xiu to join the army. Xin Xianying said anxiously, "at that time, I saw that Zhong Hui would send troops. Although I was worried, I was only worried about my country. "The disaster will involve my family, and it is also a national event. I really have to stop it." Yang Xiu asked Sima Zhao to resign, but Sima Zhao refused to accept. Xin Xianying had no choice but to say to Yang Xiu, "this matter must be carried out. You should pay attention to it! In ancient times, a gentleman should be filial to his parents at home, and be chaste to his country when he goes abroad. When he holds a post, he should be careful about your responsibilities. When he faces righteousness, he should be careful about your position, and don't let his parents worry about you. Between the military, the only thing that can make you smooth is the attitude of benevolence and forgiveness! You have to be careful As a result, Yang Xiu was able to preserve himself from the battle of conquering Shu to the rebellion of Zhong Hui.
