Sima Yi is eager to marry the Empress Dowager Guo, there is a very important reason, now the political pattern of the DPRK and China is very clear, many wealthy lords stand on the side of the Sima family, they formed a preliminary unified alliance to fight against the Cao clan led by Cao Shuang.

In fact, the Cao clan and the family have been fighting for a long time, in Cao Cao's era, they have supported the clan power, suppressed the wealthy family, Cao Cao competed for the world, the Cao clan has always been Cao Cao's most solid backing, and a large number of powerful generals have emerged.

When Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, in order to get the support of the family, he reused the gate valves of the Chen family, the Xun family, and the Sima family, although he successfully ascended to the emperor's throne, but also buried hidden dangers for Cao Wei's Jiangshan Sheji.

In the face of the aggressive attack of Wu and Shu, Cao Rong had to use the ministers with foreign surnames such as Man Chong and Sima Yi to fight for internal and external security, which naturally made the power of the Shi family bigger and bigger.

However, before Cao Rong collapsed, he finally remembered the Cao clan, and first set up a list of five auxiliary ministers of the clan headed by Cao Yu, the king of Yan, but in the end it was abandoned for various reasons, Sima Yi was lucky to catch the last train and became the auxiliary minister, but above him, the position of the first auxiliary minister is still Cao Shuang, a son of the clan.

Cao Shuang is relying on the name of the first auxiliary minister, appointing cronies, excluding dissidents, controlling the government and monopolizing power, although the court has made a miasma, but from the current situation, Cao Shuang controls the military power and political power, and he looks like he is the only one in the court, and who can help others.

Sima Yi is ambitious, otherwise he would not have raised the dead and deliberately cultivated forces, but what he did was still based on self-preservation, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people, Sima Yi at this moment may still think about how to deal with Cao Shuang's exclusion and fight back, as for the idea of seeking the throne, it can't be said that there is no, but at least it is not clear.

But if he wants to deal with Cao Shuang, who has monopolized power, it is obviously not enough to rely on the strength of the Sima family and the power of the scholar family who are in the same breath as him, so Sima Yi set his sights on the Empress Dowager Guo of the current dynasty.

Empress Dowager Guo was born in Xiping County, the Guo family is a big family in Xiping, but Guo's entry into the palace is not a marriage between the Son of Heaven and the Shi family, but the Guo family was copied into the palace after the Xiping Rebellion was exterminated by the imperial court.

However, after Guo entered the palace, he was favored by Cao Ei, who had a good male style and had the habit of liking the new and hating the old, so he abolished Queen Mao and renamed Guo as the queen. However, a few days before Guo became the queen, Cao Rong had collapsed, Cao Fang ascended the throne, and Empress Guo was naturally promoted to Empress Dowager Guo.

Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, respected the queen Guo as the queen mother, and the palace where she lived was called Yongning Palace. and posthumously named Guo Man, the father of the Empress Dowager Guo, as the marquis of the Western Capital, and Guo Jian, the son of Guo Li, the uncle of the Empress Dowager Guo, inherited his title; The mother of the Empress Dowager Guo, Du Shi, was named Haoyangjun.

Empress Dowager Guo's uncle Guo Zhi was transferred to the post of Loose Cavalry Attendant and Captain of Changshui, and his uncle Guo Li was the general of Xuande, all of whom were made marquis. Guo Jian's brother Guo De was appointed as the son of Sun Zhen Huang, the deceased Empress Wen Zhaozhen, and inherited the title of Princess Pingyuan Yi, the deceased daughter of Emperor Ming, and was named Marquis of Pingyuan, and changed his surname to Zhen. Zhen De and Guo Jian are both general protectors, and they are both named marquis, and they are jointly responsible for the guards of the Beijing Division.

Although the relatives of this era are no longer as beautiful as the relatives of the Han Dynasty, they are still an indispensable force in the political arena of Cao Wei, especially in this situation where the lord is weak and weak, the Empress Dowager Guo and her family have naturally become the third force between the Cao clan and the family, and have become the object that Sima Yi wants to win over the most.

And the most reliable way to win over is marriage, when Sima Yi gave Sima Shi Sima Zhao to marry the object of the family Yang family and the Wang family, but because of Cao Liang's disturbance, Sima Shi is still single.

Didn't it mean that Sima Shi lacked women, after all, as Sima Shi, would there be a shortage of women who warmed the bed at night? Sima Shi has not married a wife so far, the main reason is because there is no suitable object, he is not a wealthy family, and he cannot bring clear benefits to the Sima family, so it will not be in Sima Yi's consideration.

However, Sima Shi's reputation is considered stinky in the circle of upper nobles, and no one is willing to marry a woman to him anymore, so Sima Yi's consideration is placed on Sima Shi's daughters.

Before Xiahou Hui was killed, he gave Sima Sheng five daughters in one go, and these five daughters are now gradually growing up, and the eldest Sima Ru is nineteen years old, and it is time to get married.

With the status of the Sima family, naturally the matchmaker has broken through the threshold, but Sima Yi is not in a hurry at all, what he has to do is naturally to wait for the price to sell, these five granddaughters are equivalent to Sima Yi's five treasures, find them five suitable in-laws, you can bring five firm allies to the Sima family, these five transactions, how can Sima Yi, who has always been good at calculation, do a loss.

Sima Yi's first son-in-law was Empress Dowager Guo's cousin Zhen De, Zhen De's original surname was Guo, Taihe six years, Emperor Wei Ming's beloved daughter Cao Shu died young, posthumously crowned the princess of Pingyuan, Zhen Yi, and Empress Wenzhao Zhen (Emperor Wei Ming's mother) The late nephew Zhen Huang held a secret marriage. Guo De passed on to Zhen Huang and his wife, and sealed the Marquis of Pingyuan.

If you only talk about character and talent, Zhen De can only be regarded as a mediocre person, but Sima Yi did not fall in love with Zhen De, but fell in love with the Empress Dowager Guo who stood behind Zhen De, because Sima Yi knew that this Zhen De and Empress Dowager Guo have a deep sisterly relationship and have a good relationship.

Therefore, Sima Yi repeatedly told Sima Shi to hurry up and complete this marriage, and now in such an urgent situation, if there is more help, it will be equivalent to adding a lot of opportunities.

However, Sima Shi seemed a little distressed, after all, Sima Ru was his own daughter, and she was pampered when she was a child, perhaps out of a little guilt for Xiahou Hui, Sima Shi also loved these motherless children.

However, when Sima Ru heard that he was going to marry her to Zhen De, he was angry at that time and made it clear that he didn't want to!

Sima Shi couldn't help but be in a dilemma, on the one hand, his daughter's resolute opposition, and on the other hand, his father's strong request, it was really a little difficult for him to balance this contradiction.
