Since Cao Cao implemented the standard of appointing people by appointing people on their merits, although there has been a temporary surplus of talents, appointing people on their merits has led to the confusion of the employment mechanism, which is the main reason for the outbreak of political contradictions in Cao Fang. The result of Sima Yi's usurpation of Cao Wei's regime is closely related to Cao Wen Pi's view of right and wrong. After Cao Fang came to power, he vigorously promoted Confucianism, praised loyalty and righteousness, and rectified social order; Diligent and loving the people, frugal farming, committed to changing bad politics, while Sima Group planted henchmen, ready to use force, step by step. Although the Cao Wei regime had a brief glory, the arrangement between Wei Mingdi and Cao Rui had decided the fate of its decline, and Cao Fang had to spend the rest of his life in humiliation and frustration.
Keywords: * * * Cao Fang, the city's heavy door, make great efforts to control the chaos of the employment mechanism
One day in September 254 AD, the Empress Dowager Yongning Gongguo, under the pressure of General Sima Shi, sent Cao Fang, the third emperor of Cao Wei regime, who was only 23 years old, back to the Eta Ursae Majoris Temple in the northwest corner of Luoyang City and lived in a small town called Jin Yong. Bleak wind and biting rain, Cao Fang, king of Qi, went out of the palace by bus, and his ministers closed their doors from west to west. The bureaucrats in the palace, except the successful ones, all celebrated each other with crowns. Most of them are silent and obedient. Only one teacher, Zhong Langfan, "expressed condolences", [2] talked about the past.
Soon, under the supervision of emissaries, the guards led by Sima Shi's confidant escorted Cao Fang to the Qi Palace in Chongmen City in the northwest of the city (now northwest of Dashi Village, Gaozhuang Township, huixian city City, Henan Province). From then on, the door is as heavy as the sea. After twelve years of boredom, Duke Xiang of Jin and Prime Minister forced Cao Huanchan to be located in 2651February, the 35-year-old Fang was demoted to Zhaoling County. Eight years later, after 21 years of solitary exile, Cao Fang, who was only 43 years old, died in the tenth year of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty (274 years). Even after Cao Fang's death, the rulers of the Western Jin Dynasty still called Gong Li cruel and heartless, killing innocent people, so later generations also called him Shao or Shao Gong.
Fan Fen, the teacher of Liu Chen, never entered the palace in the name of illness after seeing off Cao Fang, king of Qi. When he proclaimed himself emperor, Sun He, the son of the Prince of the same county, recommended Fan, calling him an incorruptible man. Sima Yan, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, issued a special edict, giving Fan Li 2000 stones for illness and 100 silks to improve his life every year. Fan Li's son, Fan Qiao, resigned in the name that his father was too ill to work for the court. After sending Cao Fang away at the age of 48, Fan was unwilling to talk for 36 years, let alone associate with others.
Until he was eighty-four, he died in his car, filled with resentment. [3]
During the Eastern Han Dynasty and even the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zhongmen was an important town in northern Henan, connecting Luoyang and Yecheng, Kyoto, and located on the left side of Huang Shuihe, northwest of Dashi Village, Gaozhuang Township, huixian city. Cao Fang (232~274), Lan Qing, was the son of Cao Kai, the king of Rencheng, the grandson of Cao Zhang and the great-grandson of Cao Cao. He succeeded to the throne in the name of Cao Cao's adopted son in Wei Mingdi from 240 to 254, and was named Shaodi. After Cao Fang abdicated, his secluded address was Qi Palace, and he was placed under house arrest in Guzhongmen City, located in the northwest of * * * (twenty miles northwest of huixian city, Henan). On June 8, 2006, the site of Chongmencheng was announced by the Henan Provincial People's Government as the fourth batch of provincial cultural relics protection units.
Why did the Cao Wei regime, which was famous for the first time, lose its power and throne after only three generations? Cao Fang, the Emperor of Wei Shaodi, is really like the Queen Mother Guo of Yongning Palace, played by 46 people, including Qiu Sifu, General Sima Shi, Stuart Gaorou, Zhengchong and General Anton, and said, "I have never kissed all the machines. I am addicted to her love. I am covered in women; Abandon donating to give lectures, abandon insulting Confucian scholars "[4]? What is the crux of the problem ? To study the tragic ending of "the door is as heavy as the sea", it is necessary for us to follow the trail and explore the truth of Cao Fang, the king of Qi.
First, the root of the tragedy: meritocracy leads to confusion in the employment mechanism.
In the process of political power construction, the establishment of employment mechanism has always been the top priority. The young emperor Cao Fang was excluded and lost the throne. There are many reasons, but the bad tradition of chaotic employment mechanism formed in the process of Cao Cao's founding remains unchanged, and Sima Yi's legacy of raising tigers is the main reason why Cao Fang regime finally got into trouble.
Chapter 58 of Yi Zhou Shu Guan Renjie has six characteristics: observing honesty, observing words, observing sound, observing color and slapping morality, and [5] pays more attention to the morality of talents. Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, experienced many hardships at the beginning of his business. However, due to his experience in studying in imperial academy and the assistance of relatives, friends and famous families, he finally established a prominent Eastern Han Empire after calming down the red eyebrows and respecting righteousness and honesty.
The establishment of Cao Wei regime is obviously different from that of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The low starting point of Cao Cao's development forced him to make greater efforts and achieve greater achievements than others in order to gain social recognition. He adopted Xiahou as Cao Song's adopted son. "You can't judge its life and death." "You are less alert and have the right to count, but Ren Xia is dissolute and unemployed, so the world is not surprised." [6] Although Xia Houdun, Xia Houshang, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Bao, Coss, Cao Zhang and other relatives and friends helped him when he fought in the world, at the beginning of his business, Cao Cao, who had gone through hardships, even gradually became a great cause, still did not get the recognition of the gate forces. Chen Lin's "For Yuan Shao Mao Yuzhou" said:
Father Song, a beggar, took care of him. Because of stolen goods, he used gold and jade to transport wealth, stole Ding Si and overturned heavy equipment. Fuck fat castration ugly, immoral, cunning front association, so chaotic and happy. [7]
Chen Lin denounced Cao Cao for his humble origins, harsh words and sharp writing, which objectively represented some people's evaluation of Cao Cao at that time.
After thirteen years of Jian 'an in Battle of Red Cliffs, the cruel war made Cao Cao more aware of the importance of talents. So in the spring of the fifteenth year of Jian 'an, in December of the nineteenth year of Jian 'an and in August of the twenty-second year of Jian 'an, he issued several orders for seeking talents, and clearly put forward new standards for employing people. Those who were caught by Brown and Huai Yu, or those who stole money from their sister-in-law, can be used as long as they can help them be aboveboard and humble. [8] For those who are talented, heterogeneous, or worthy of being guarded, even if they are insulted, ridiculed, or heartless and unfilial, they should not leave anything behind, so they can be recommended. [9] Cao Cao advocated the strategy of meritocracy, which really played a role in recruiting talents in the Three Kingdoms Campaign. A large number of talented generals gathered around Cao Cao, forming an obvious advantage over Shu and Wu in military talents.
Cao Cao restricted the use of Sima Yi because of a temporary need; Sima Yi bowed to Cao Shi and was forced to "take office in fear". Until Cao Cao's later years, Sima Yi was only an army Sima. Sima Yi, on the other hand, "won the trust of Prince Cao Pi and became four friends with Chen Qun, Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo." [10] xelloss reused Sima Yi, alienated his brothers, and left testamentary edicts to General Cao Zhen, General Chen Qun of Town East, General Cao Xiu and General Sima Yi of Fujun to help Prince Cao Rui ascend to the throne. Before his death, Ming Di Cao Rui also asked Sima Yi, the Empress Dowager and Cao Shuang * * * to jointly assist Cao Binfang of Qi, while the Empress Dowager and Cao Shuang were far from Sima Yi's opponents, thus enabling Sima Yi to master the central power step by step until he successfully planned the coup in Gaoping Mausoleum Palace.
Gao Zeng, a loyal minister of Cao Wei, earnestly warned: "It is advisable to prevent the princes from flying inside the wall. You can choose the soldiers of the kings to make the king, often play chess, set the imperial capital, and show the royal family. " [1 1] The final outcome really proves that high worry is not unnecessary. The Book of Wei, Volume II, Biography of Wendi, quoted Hao Jingxu as saying: "It's also self-deception to fuck pi and take the straight line, thinking that you can, but give up calmly, thinking that Shun Yu is back! And frivolous, did not get rid of your son's habits, did not care about fine behavior, lost etiquette, was as low as flesh and blood, committed suicide, and died indiscriminately. " [12] It is necessary for Cao Wei's regime to temporarily implement the meritocracy strategy when Cao Cao ruled the country, but it is short-sighted to reuse Sima Yi after Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor. As for "being mean to your own flesh and blood", it is even more self-destructive to the Great Wall. It can be seen that Cao Pi worked hard to lay the cornerstone of the Cao Wei regime, and at the same time laid a curse for the long-term stability of the Cao Wei regime. It is really necessary to conquer the world as much as possible. However, if we don't adjust in time when establishing a new regime and pay attention to reusing talents with both ability and political integrity, it will cause hidden dangers, and over time, it will have the tragic consequences of "a levee of a thousand miles will collapse in an ant nest".
After Cao Fang acceded to the throne, although some measures were taken to limit Sima Yi's power, Sima Yi was too big to control. As an adult, Cao Fang naturally likes dissolute music and is arrogant and rude, just like the emperors in the past. If you want to keep the emperor in shape and be humble to his ministers, I'm afraid it will be a problem in any dynasty. Peace "Jingfu Dian Fu" advised Wang Qi Cao Fang to say:
Seek the reason why the world is since the enlightenment, recruit the right people, open a straight road, think about the commandments of the Duke of Zhou before, admire the lessons of blame, save useless officials, save troubles, and return the feelings of Tai Su.
"Play please minister attendants YouXing" yue:
Therefore, when a gentleman travels, he must choose the right person, observe the object, listen to Zheng Sheng's words and get close to others, so evil thoughts will not be born and the right path will be magnificent. [ 13]
At the beginning of December in the winter of eight years, Kong Yi, a doctor, remonstrated with him on a regular basis, and asked the King of Qi Cao Fang to say:
Today is flat, and the monarch and the minister are clear. Your majesty, on the other hand, should be diligent in his position, enforce the law impartially, and have clear rewards and punishments, so that he will never learn to ride a horse in the backyard and go out in a chariot. [ 14]
The core of making peace with Cao Fang is to hope that he can pay attention to morality, change customs and promote the right path. On Jizhou specially selected 30 celebrities from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Han Dynasty as typical examples, taking benevolence, loyalty, courtesy, honesty and elegance as the value standards, and repeatedly expounded the importance of seeking talents and using morality to talents from many angles. Kong Yi expects Cao Fang to be strict in reward and punishment and fair in handling affairs. There are even restrictions on the location of riding horses and the etiquette of leaving the palace. It can be seen that Cao Fang and his ministers are not lazy and domineering people. However, until the end of Cao Wei's rule, as the main content of Wei-Jin conversation, the dispute over "four books of natural talent" was still inconclusive. The confusion of employment standards leads to the confusion of ideological field, and the orientation of ideological field is not adjusted in time, which leads to the confusion and serious consequences of employment standards.
Gu Rizhilu's "On the Customs of Han Dynasty" said: "Since the end of Han Dynasty, Xiao Wu recommended the Six Classics, although Confucianism flourished, it was not widely known, so he made a living by praising virtue, and the giver was partial to the world. In view of this, Guangwu respected chastity, insisted on fame and wealth, and the users were not practitioners in the Ming Dynasty, so the customs changed. At the end of its history, political affairs were muddy, and national events were not in the sky. Those who are isolated by the party walk alone, follow the righteousness of others, sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and the wind and rain are gloomy, and chickens crow endlessly. After three generations, the beauty of customs is unparalleled in Tokyo. However, Meng De has Jizhou, a man who worships people and rewards them, and repeatedly gives orders. As for the name of humiliation, it is heartless and unfilial, but it has the skill of governing the country with soldiers. (The order of August in the 22nd year of Jian 'an, the order of spring in the 15th year and the order of December in the 19th year are all the same. Therefore, the powerful and powerful blackmail repeatedly, traitors are born, and customs are changed. The husband's rule by virtue, righteousness, martial arts, wisdom, chapter, the lack of generations, the elimination of customs, Meng De has more than enough, future generations, the wind of trees, the way of Tao, good customs, can not but keep this! "Gu's evaluation of the change of customs here, although it means advocating integrity and praising independence, is pertinent and targeted by comparing the changes of social atmosphere in different times, such as filial piety, martial arts and Meng De.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Today, while affirming the contribution of Cao Cao's military, political and literary thoughts, we should also evaluate the deficiency of Cao Cao's thought of employing people calmly and objectively, evaluate the adverse consequences brought to the ideological circle by Cao Cao's strategy of relying on the emperor to make princes, and correct the limitations and adverse effects on political power construction in a specific period from the perspective of historical development.
Only by reviewing historical changes can we talk about heroes. We can see that the tragic fate of the young emperor Cao Fang is actually a tragedy of "meritocracy" caused by the times and history. He failed to turn the tide, and it was difficult to turn the tide, but he eventually became a victim swallowed up by the trend of the times. The root of this tragedy comes from the chaotic world style caused by the meritocracy mechanism advocated by his great-grandfather Cao Cao.
Second, make great efforts to govern: the Cao Wei regime came back to life.
Cao Fang, the little emperor, is it really like the Queen Mother of Yongning Palace Guo, played by 46 people including Qiu Sima Fu, General Sima, Situ Gaorou, Zhengchong and General Anton, who said, "If you don't kiss the machines, you will indulge in lewdness, then you will be a lecherous; Do you abandon lectures and insult Confucian scholars? [ 15]? What role did Sima Yi and his son play in the incident? What is the crux of the problem ?
(1) Carry forward Confucianism and praise loyalty: Cao Fang rectifies social order.
The fact is that Cao Fang, King of Qi, has never stopped working hard since he took office, although he is still young. Lu Bi's Three Kingdoms Shu Wei Ji (Volume 4) and Four Chapters of Qi Wang (Four Chapters of Qi Wang) include Cao Fang's Preface to the Analects of Confucius in the early spring of the second year, The Book of History in May of the fifth year, and The Book of Rites in December of the seventh year, which makes Tai Chang's sacrifice more intense than Yong's, with Yan Yuan attached. The reflection of Shu Wei, volume 4, Ji note Pan Mei:
There are six monuments in Dian Lun, see Zhu Juan 16. According to Yong Shi Jing, it is on the east side in front of imperial academy lecture hall, while Wei Zhengshi Shi Jing is on the west side in front of imperial academy lecture hall. Li Dao Yuan Yun: Wei Shijing stands in the west of Tangxi, eight feet long and four feet wide, with forty-eight monuments and thirty feet wide.
The reflection of Shu Wei, Volume 4, Ji of the King of Qi, notes and quotes Lu Bi as follows:
In the middle of Wei Zhengshi, the ancient, printed and official stone scriptures were established. Zhao Mingcheng's Jin Shilu says: The preface to The Scholars consists of three parts: ancient prose, seal script and official script. Cai Yong's book is eight points, and the three-body stone sutra was built by Wei. [ 16]
"Sui Shu" Volume 32 "Jing Ke Zhi" said:
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan annotated Zhang Houlun with reference to Qi Lun and Gu Lun. Wei, Chen Qun, Taichang, Wang Su and Dr. Zhou Shenglie all said righteousness. The official ministers also collected the explanations of The Analects of Confucius. But later Confucianism paid more attention to it, and Qi Lun died. In ancient times, there were no teachers before Chen Liang, but Zheng Xuan and Zheng were few when they stood in Chinese studies. [ 17]
Cao Fang, the young emperor, made great contributions to the spread of Confucianism by offering sacrifices to Confucius, respecting Confucius and Buddhism, carving stone scriptures and unifying writing. Yan He and others presented Cao Fang's The Analects of Confucius in the third year of Zhengshi (242), which is of epoch-making significance in the history of Confucianism. Kong Anguo, Bao Xian, Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan, Chen Qun, Wang Su, Zhou Shenglie, the Zhou family and myself have all been recorded in The Analects. Among the total notes of less than 65,438+0,000, there are 65,438+065,438+07 who only talk about peace, and the Analects of Confucius is mainly about Chinese studies. The Analects of Confucius was compiled and annotated by Yanhe et al. during the reign of Wei Zhengshi, and was later edited by Liang Wudi Kan and Song Xingbing, and was included in the Annotation to Thirteen Classics edited by Ruan Yuan, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, which became one of the important reference materials for studying the ancient culture of China.
During the Three Kingdoms period, a good situation was formed in Wei due to Cao Cao's talent-only employment strategy. However, how to treat the founding fathers of Wei in peacetime and how to establish a national policy conducive to the long-term stability of Wei's rule are of great significance for stabilizing the social situation and comforting meritorious future generations. Volume 4 of the Three Kingdoms, The Fourth King of the Three Little Emperors, records that in the autumn and July of the first four years, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, later generals, Huan Jie, Chen Qun, Zhong Chong, a teacher, General Zhang He, former generals Zhang Liao and General You were called up. [18] In the early November of five years, Guimao made an imperial edict to sacrifice Xun You to the Taizu Hall. [ 19]
For meritorious ministers, ICY rewarded their descendants to show that the court respected loyalty, commended righteousness and never forgot old ideas. In the first year of Jiaping, at the beginning of Cao Fang's coming to power, he promulgated the Imperial Decree of Giving Money to Xu Miao and Others, which praised the qualities of the old generals Xu Miao, General Dong and Wei Yu, and gave them two thousand welcome and three hundred thousand yuan. [20] In the second year of Jiaping, "Praise and Seal the Imperial edict of Guo Huai" took Huai as the general, accompanied by three secretaries, and the ceremony remained the same. When Quyang Hou was sealed, there were 2780 households in the city, and 300 households sealed a pavilion. In August of the fifth year of Jiaping, he praised Guo Xiu's imperial edict, praised Guo Xiu's behavior of killing himself to death, and named him the Hou of Changle Township, the Hou of Thousand Households, the son of a Grand Priest, the conductor, the Silver Thousand Cakes and the Silk Thousand Horses. [2 1]
Sacrifice to the founding fathers, praise loyalty, promote chastity, and support future generations. It reflects the efforts made by Cao Fang, King of Qi, after he took office. Cao Fang, the young emperor, faced with all kinds of abuses left by Wei Mingdi, unified his thoughts, established new employment standards with the help of the authority of Confucianism, and consolidated social rule. This effort to rectify the ideological field is well-intentioned and should be affirmed. The historical development trend shows a truth mercilessly: after Cao Fang, king of Qi, became king, he did not "abandon lecturing and humiliate Confucianism", but consciously took many measures to reverse Gan Kun; At the same time, we can also see that these measures, such as offering sacrifices to the founding fathers, praising loyalty and promoting chastity, are helpful to maintaining social order, but a little relaxation in the employment mechanism and military regime will give people with lofty ideals an opportunity and eventually cause eternal resentment.
(2) Diligence, love for the people and help farmers: Cao Fang is committed to changing customs.
Cao Rui and Wei Mingdi not only left a great hidden danger to Cao Fang, the late ruler, in terms of employment mechanism, but also built a great deal of buildings, lived in luxury, had many drawbacks, were full of public grievances, were stubborn, and the state treasury was empty. Since Cao Fang came to power, he has been diligent and loving the people, practiced economy and tried his best to reform the social abuses left by Ming Di, and achieved remarkable results in a short time. The reflection of Shu Wei, volume 25 "Gao Chuan" yue:
(In April of the first year of Jingchu,) (Ming) Emperor worshiped the palace day by day, carved pavilions and platforms, carved Mount Tai in time, picked the aragonite in Gucheng, started Jingyang Mountain in Fanglin Garden, built Zhaoyang Hall in Taiji North, and cast it as a Huanglong Phoenix monster, decorated with Jinyun Lingyuntai night pavilion, with thousands of authors. As for the students below or above, they all showed their strength.
Long wrote an admonition, saying, "Today, people have worked hard, suffered from disease and barrenness, and there are few cultivators, and no one has died. It is advisable to show compassion to save them. " [22]
During Cao Cao's time in Wei Mingdi, exorbitant taxes and levies weakened the people's strength, made the land barren, and made the social economy on the verge of collapse. Cao Fang, king of Qi, ascended the throne under such internal and external troubles. When he came to power, he took a series of important measures, which played an important role in alleviating social contradictions at the critical moment when the empire was dying. In the third year of the Ming emperor, after Cao Fang acceded to the throne, he wrote a letter saying:
All the battles for the palace were ended by wills and decrees. There are more than sixty handmaiden in the palace, so don't be lovers. [23]
At the beginning of Wushen in autumn and August of seven years, Cao Fang took concrete measures to solve the life difficulties of the elderly handmaiden, and issued an imperial decree to exempt handmaiden from official duties as a good citizen.
From the city's point of view, the officials and handmaiden who were sold were both in their 70s or sick. The so-called poor people are also poor, and the officials are also tired. It is meaningless to advance and retreat. If they can't survive, the counties will give them a shot in the arm. [24]
In view of the shortage of metal in armament raw materials and the prevalence of luxury in the palace, we tried to correct our shortcomings and expressed our broad mind to set things right. In July of the first year of Zhengshi, ICY promulgated "Military Gold and Silver":
Today, there are not enough people, and the imperial government is mostly made of gold and silver, which will make Xi think. Today, there are 150 kinds of gold and silver products, 1800 kilograms, which are used for military sales and smelting. [25]
Notes on the Book of Jin Volume I Xuandi Ji:
At the beginning, Wei Mingdi was good at repairing palaces, and the system was gorgeous, which made the people miserable. Since the emperor returned from Liaodong, there are still more than 10,000 servants and tens of thousands of carved things. Even if you play, you can save farming, and everyone is happy. [26]
After leading the government, the young emperor Cao Fang was diligent, devoted to loving the people and farming diligently, and devoted himself to changing the disadvantages left over from the previous dynasty, instead of "never meeting opportunities" as the Queen Mother said [27]. Facts have proved that Cao Fang is not an idle young emperor, but an emperor who lacks political experience and is soft in the center of political struggle. At the beginning of Wei, which was riddled with holes, Cao Fang tried to reuse a group of literati politicians and fantasized about using them to contain or weaken the military rule represented by Sima Yi, which determined the inevitable failure of Cao Fang and his literati politicians and the tragic fate of Cao Fang in the palace for twenty years.
(3) Placing a confidant and preparing to use force: Sima Group moves step by step.
Cao Cao, the founding father of Cao Wei, once had a clear understanding of Sima Yi's performance. "(Cao Cao) tasted Sanma's dream of eating the same food, which is very evil. Because prince pi said,' Sima yi is not a human minister, he will predict your family affairs.' Prince Su and the emperor are good, and they are all blessed, so they are exempted. [28] Sima Yi's fate change is closely related to Prince Xelloss, while Ming Di and Cao Rui are even more fatuous. When Sima Yi became the minister of Gu Ming and entered the core of power, it was the beginning of the nightmare of Cao Wei's rule.
During the period of Emperor Wen Cao Pi, Sima Yi had mastered the military power, and became close friends with Liu Fang, the supervisor of the secretariat, and the grandson of the secretary of the secretariat. At the critical moment of critical illness, Sun conspired with Liu at that time to call Sima Yi to make a temporary expedition to Liaodong. Sima Yi stationed in Luoyang returned and appointed Cao Yu, the prince of Wu, as the general, and assisted by leading generals Cao Shuang, Xiahou Xian, Cao Zhao, a captain of Tunqi, and General Qin Lang. This decision was temporarily changed to avoid the duties of Cao Yu, the prince of Yan, and became the result of being replaced by Cao Shuang, the general of the State of Wu.
General Cao Shuang, Sima Yi and Qiu * * * supported the imperial court, which was not entrusted by him at the end of his life, but the result of the operation of Liu Fang and his grandson, which reflected Sima Yi's will. Assisting the emperor with such unequal power broke the balance mechanism of power. At this point, Sima Yi's power took an important turn. At this time, the usurpation of Cao Wei's regime was only a matter of time. After that, the efforts of the Cao Fang regime surfaced in a short time. "The king of Qi acceded to the throne, moved the Chinese and foreign troops, held a festival, and supervised the army. He recorded the history of ministers, and together with Shuang, he commanded 3,000 soldiers, ruled the state affairs, went straight into the temple, and took advantage of the rest to enter the temple. " [29] Sima Yi finally got the qualification to compete with Cao Wei's forces.
Liu Fangzhuan, Volume 14 of Collection of the Records of the Three Kingdoms, quoted Pei Songzhi as saying: "Both Buddhism and Buddhism praised Cao Shuang, persuaded him to declare the king, and Wei's death was based on this!" [30] On the surface, Cao Shuang is the beneficiary of Ming Di's temporary change of decision. In fact, Sima Yi is the biggest beneficiary of this incident. In return, Cao Fang, king of Qi, became ugly in the spring and February of the first year after he ascended the throne, and appointed Liu Fang, the supervisor of Shizhong Zhongshu, and the grandson of Shizhong Zhongshu as Dr. Guanglu.
In August of the sixth year, Liu Fang, a doctor of Zuo Guanglu, was appointed as a title of generals in ancient times and doctor of Zuo Guanglu, and his grandson was appointed as general Wei. They not only control secrets, but also control military power. At the beginning of September, in the repeated exhortations of Yanhe, Kong Yi and others about "surrendering Chiang Kai-shek's people", Cao Fang began to tidy up Sima Yi's best friend and introduce Chiang Kai-shek's people. In the spring, General Wei, Sun Tzu, General A title of generals in ancient times, Liu Fang and Situ Weizhen abdicated, waiting for them to make special progress. In autumn and September, it is common to ride the general's tomb. These spooking actions touched the fundamental interests of Sima Yi and his best friend. Xuandi Ji, the first volume of the Book of Jin, said: "At the suggestion of Yanhe, Deng Yang and Ding Mi, Cao Shuang moved the Queen Mother to Yongning Palace, specializing in state affairs, forbidding soldiers, establishing more trees and pro-parties, and repeatedly changing the system." [3 1] The adjustment of important positions hit Sima Yi's heart, forcing him to speed up the pace of usurping power.
At this time, Sima Yi Group adopted the strategy of retreating to defend. When Yin was preparing to go to Jingzhou, Cao Shuang sent him to Sima Yi's home at that time for illness and asked about the truth and falsehood. "The emperor was so cruel that he let two maids wait on him, grabbed his clothes and fell down, pointing out that he was thirsty. The maids entered the porridge, but the emperor didn't drink it. The porridge flowed out and stained his chest." "It's refreshing to announce victory and retreat:' Sima Gong's body is still there, and his form is separated from God, so I don't have to worry about it.' Another day, he said,' A teacher can't help, which makes people sad. So, it's cool not to wait for equipment. "[32] At the same time, Sima Yi and his eldest son, Sima Shi, frequently planned, even before the second son, Si Mazhao, did not let them know. "Emperor Xuan Di will punish Cao Shuang, and he will make a secret plan. He will draw lots with the emperor alone, and Wendy's knowledge will be announced. When people are in a daze, the emperor sleeps as usual and can't sit down. ""At the beginning, Emperor Yin raised 3,000 dead people, scattered all over the world, and even gathered for a time, and everyone didn't know what happened. " [33] Sima Yi usurped power and planned for a long time. But in the autumn and July of the second year (24 1), the Cao Wei royal family also gave Sima Yi a family of ten thousand households, and their eleven children were rewarded by the Marquis.
In the first month of spring in the first year of Jiaping (249), Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Fang's opportunity, led many confidant ministers to visit the grave in Gao Ping Ling, Wei Mingdi, and sent Sima Shi to station troops to Sima Men. Send Gao Rou spy Stuart to take over the Cao Shuang camp and take charge of military affairs; He also ordered Jiang Ji, the commander-in-chief, to follow Sima Yi in stationing troops on the pontoon bridge in Luoshui, and arrested the Cao Shuang brothers and their courtiers, such as Yan He, Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Bi Gui, Li Sheng and Huan Fan. On charges of rebellion. All his branches were reduced to three families, both men and women were killed, and the celebrities in the world were halved at one time. In October of the second year of Jiaping (250), Sima Yi's close friend's grandson was appointed as a general in title of generals in ancient times. The root of the contradiction between Sima Yi and Cao Shuang is that with the growth of Cao Fang's age, the rights of many key figures in Sima Yi's Best Friend have been weakened and intensified. Therefore, when Cao Shuang was accused of working hard to destroy the national code, the future problems would be easy.
Cao Fang at this time, has been a mess, although Cao Wei loyal minister has completely seen Sima Yi's intentions, but it is too late, powerless. On the third day of April in Jiaping, Wang Qiuling proposed to abolish ICY, made Cao Biao the king of Chu, and Sima Yi the teacher, and levied a king order in the east. In May in Shen Jia, the tomb was forced to commit suicide by drinking zhenniao, and all the other parties belonged to the three clans. Cao Pi was sentenced to death. Since then, the kings of Cao and Wei have been placed in Yecheng for centralized management and have no contact with each other. The hegemony of Cao Wei established by a generation of fierce Cao Cao has existed in name only.
In the face of Sima's aggressive forces, in the first month of the first year, Cao Fang negotiated with Li Feng, the minister of Chinese calligraphy, Zhang Ji, the father of Max Zhang, Su Shuo, Le Dun, and Liu Bocheng, the assistant minister of Yongning, with a view to replacing Sima as emperor and making a final effort. When Sima Shi learned the news, he sent a samurai to kill Li Feng with a knife, and arrested Xia Houxuan, Zhang Ji and other celebrities, all of whom were barbarians.
Sima Shi seized this excuse and immediately advised Queen Mother Guo to order the dethroning of the little emperor Cao Fang. At the same time, he called a meeting to manipulate 46 ministers and jointly demanded the withdrawal of the emperor's seal and the restoration of the title of King Qi. According to Shu Wei, the fourth volume of the History of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Lue said, "King Jing wants to abolish the emperor, so he sent Guo to the White Queen Mother, who sat opposite the emperor and said that the emperor said,' The general wants to abolish your majesty and establish the king of Pengcheng.' The queen mother was unhappy when the emperor got up. Wisdom said,' The Queen Mother has a son and cannot be taught. Now the general has made up his mind that he has sent troops abroad to prepare for emergencies. But what will he say when he obeys orders? The queen mother said,' I want to see the general and have something to say.' Wisdom said,' What is evil? "But take the seal away quickly!" The queen mother was very unhappy, but she sent a servant to get the seal and sat aside.
