Chapter 339 The Change of Gaoling (Sima Yi: After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today)
Since Sima Yi returned from the Western Expedition, there has been no stabbing head within three thousand miles of Ji Han, and the world has since entered the long-awaited peaceful and prosperous age.

Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and other meritorious generals were all appointed as marquises, and appointed the high position of governor of Yizhou, who went to Qinzhou and Yuzhou to take office.Lu Xun was also named the Great Sima, in charge of the world's soldiers, horses, money and food.

After repeatedly confirming that Ma Di had no hostility towards him, Sima Yi miraculously recovered from his "stroke" disease. Immediately after Ma Di's strong recommendation, Sima Yi became prime minister, and the two governed together.

Since then, the Sima family has become powerful and prosperous.

Sima Yi and Ma Di spent a long honeymoon period, one was inside and the other was outside.

Spring went to autumn, and it was the 18th year of Jianxing (240 years) in a blink of an eye.

In the past few years, in order to induce Sima Yi to rebel, Ma Su thought of many ways, but to no avail.Sima Yi seems to be an unswerving and loyal minister, facing all kinds of temptations, he remains unmoved in the slightest.

In order to induce Sima Yi to rebel, Ma Su had to resign from the position of general in advance, and returned to the Xiliang King's area in Wuwei, Liangzhou to retire, and no longer interfered with the government.

Of course, before he left Chang'an, all funeral arrangements had been made.

It was none other than Xia Houba, a relative of the emperor, who took over the post of General.

After Ma Di's continuous promotion in the past few years, Xiahou's incompetent children have been in high positions one after another. Everyone in the family was sealed.

As soon as Xia Houba came to power, he showed strong hostility towards Sima Yi.At that time, Sima Yi supported his troops with self-respect and sat and watched Wei's demise, which made Xiahouba and even Xiahou's children grieve.

Just after the new year in Jianxing's 18th year, Xia Houba organized a group of ministers to write a letter, saying that Sima Yi was over sixty years old, blind and deaf, and was no longer suitable for the post of prime minister.

After Liu Chanzhun played, Sima Yi immediately resigned from the post of prime minister, became a tutor who didn't care about anything, and was hung up.

But Xiahouba's offensive was not over, and he quickly used the "assassination case" four years ago as an excuse to kill Sima Fu, who was the Minister of Duzhi, and Sima Shi, who was the leader of the Central Committee.

Not long after, as the investigation of the case continued to deepen, various rumors spread, and Sima Yi was forced to resign from his position as Tai Tuo and return to his residence to rest.

So far, only Sima Zhao is left as an official of the Sima family in the court.

Xia Houba did not stop, and quickly removed Sima Zhao on the charge of "unnecessary".

After Sima Zhao was dismissed from office, the news that Sima Yi "had a recurrence of stroke and was bedridden" soon spread.

Only then did the investigation into the assassination cease.

Therefore, it was the turn of Xiahou's family to lose power.

A few more years passed in a flash, and it was the 25th year of Jianxing (247 years).

Chang'an City, former Grand Tutor's Mansion, Sima's House.

"Father, Grand Sima Luxun and Zhuge Liang passed away one after another, shall we do it?"

"Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang have passed away? Is the news accurate?"

"Accurate! The people I sent saw with their own eyes that both Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun were buried. Zhuge Liang was happy and Lu Xun was sick. According to news from Liangzhou, Ma Di, the king of the Western Regions, was handed down after his eldest son Ma Wen the year before last. The family has never returned to Liangzhou after touring the countries in the Western Regions. Thinking that Ma Di is nearly sixty years old and addicted to women, he may have died outside at this moment. Father, let's do it?!"

"Well...wait a minute."

……

Another year passed in the blink of an eye.

"Father, Ma Su has not heard from him for four years, he must have died outside! Let's do it?"

"hold on."

"What are you waiting for? Father!"

"Wait a little longer, Zhao, it doesn't matter, be steady!"

……

In the 27th year of Jianxing (249), just after the New Year, according to the usual practice, the emperor Liu Chan was going to pay homage to Gaoling.

Gaoling is the tomb of Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Ji Han Dynasty. It is located in the Guanzhong Plain, on the south bank of the Weihe River between the Jinghe River and Luohe River, about [-] kilometers away from the capital Chang'an in the south.

The main personnel who went to Gaoling with Liu Chan were the general Xiahouba, the left and right chariot generals Xiahouwei and Xiahouxuan, the hussar general Xiahouji, and a group of civil and military ministers in important positions. The soldiers only brought more than a thousand people.

Qu Shang, Xiahouba's number one dog-headed military adviser, felt that something was wrong: "Although the world has been at peace for a long time, only 1000 people are too small. What if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble and bring large soldiers to attack us?"

Qu Shang used to be the military advisor of the great general Ma Di, and after Ma Di left, he recommended him to Xia Houba.Under the influence of Ma Di, Qu Shang has always had the highest level of hostility towards Sima Yi. From all perspectives, he felt that Sima Yi was a man who looked down on wolves and was not like a good person, so he said this.

Xia Houba laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is here, who would dare to make a mistake?"

There are three main reasons why Xia Houba is so confident. One is that His Majesty Liu Chan is in his prime of life, and his reputation is overwhelming.

The second is because he has held the post of general and has been in charge of the world's soldiers and horses for nearly ten years. He has great power, who would be so bold as to dare to mess around?

The third is that Gaoling is located in the north of Chang'an City, close to the south bank of the Wei River, but if there is any trouble, he took Liu Chan and ran away in a boat. Who can do anything to him?
Based on this consideration, a thousand soldiers and horses are enough!

Qu Shang was right after thinking about it, Sima Yi has been lying at home for ten years, and there should not be many old bones left, so he stopped admonishing him.

Early in the morning on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Yeling team marched out of the north gate and headed straight for Gaoling.

Jia Chonggong, who had been promoted to the captain of the North Gate, drove Liu Chan's car out of the city, and hurriedly rode his horse towards the city.

The former Taifu's residence, Sima's family.

"Father, let's do it?" Master Sima suggested calmly with determination in his eyes. This was the third year in a row that he made this suggestion.

"Don't miss this opportunity, never miss it again."

"wait……"

"Wait? Father, they only brought a thousand soldiers and horses. We just need to lead the dead soldiers and take them all. When the time comes, who dares not obey?!"

"Well, let's do it." Sima Yi slowly sat up from the bed, looked around at his two sons, "Have all the major families been contacted?"

"Contacted, father, they said they will fully support our actions." Sima Zhao replied.

"So where is their support?"

"Uh... verbal support."

Master Sima said angrily: "Father, they are really a bunch of white-eyed wolves who don't see rabbits and don't know what to do! The Sima family will bear all the risks, and the benefits will be shared equally by these aristocratic families. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Sima Yi sighed, waved his hands and said, "I'll talk about these things later. The most urgent thing is to first control the gates of the city, control the emperor Liu Chan, and then announce to the world that the major families are allowed to annex land, buy and sell slaves, and then station them in the name of the emperor. The surrounding generals issued an edict to tell them to be calm and not to act rashly, so that this great achievement can be accomplished!"

"Father, what about the Xiahou clan?" Sima Zhao interrupted.

Sima Shi answered this question for Sima Yi. He glanced at his younger brother and said coldly: "Kill without mercy, punish the three clans!"

After making a plan, Sima Yi started to do it. He had the conditions to do it. There were more than 5000 dead soldiers in his army, all of whom were trained by his eldest son Sima Shi over the years.

Because Sima Division had served as the leader of the Central Army for a long time before, in charge of the Forbidden Army, and presided over the selection of grassroots military officers, mainly the selection of middle and lower military officers.Sima Shiyi took advantage of his position and bought many dead men.

There are also many high-level figures in Ji Han who cooperated with Sima Yi to launch this coup.Such as the former Jing Zhaoyin, the current Changan Ling Li Feng (son of Li Yan), Sikong Gaorou, Situ Wangling, Sanqi Changshi Niu Jin, and Jiang Ji, one of the former chief assistants.

Li Feng and Jiang Jihui participated in this coup for a reason. The former was because Ma Di forced his father Li Yan to death, and the latter was because Xia Houba offended him.In order to monopolize power.As soon as Xia Houba came to power, he changed Jiang Ji to be the Minister of the Household Department, and replaced the obedient Chen Tai as the chief assistant.
