Sima Yan's wife is Yang Yan, and Yang Yan's ancestors are also quite famous. The four generations of the three public officials were all important officials of the imperial court. Yang Yan's father, Yang Wenzong, is the general manager of Cao Wei. It's a pity that she died. Yang Yan is a good family. She has been living in her uncle's house. She is talented, beautiful, likes calligraphy and is good at female workers. When Si Mazhao heard that Lao Yang's family was such an excellent woman, she quickly got a dowry and gave it to her son.
Sima Yan really likes this delivery date. When Yang Yan was alive, she dared not recruit too many concubines. Sima Yan and Yan Yang gave birth to six children. On the eve of Yang Yan's death, she can lean on Sima Yan's knee to arrange the queen's successor. It can be seen that Sima Yan is trapped by his wife, and Sima Yan is bold and beautiful! Yang Yan's eldest son died early, and his second son Sima Zhong had IQ problems. In Sima Zhong's place, Sima Yan didn't want to be a prince, but Yang Yan strongly opposed it.
The prince is the future emperor, and many people want to be a crown princess. However, when choosing the candidate for the crown princess, Emperor Wu of Song thought it was very appropriate and was opposed by Yang Yan, so Sima Yan had to shut up. Sima Yan was trapped by Yang Yan, almost like being under house arrest, unable to perform his duties, and the imperial edict could not be effectively issued, leaving the world with infinite regret.
