Chapter 69

"All in all, Cao Pi is still too young. Not only is he not as good as Cao Cao, but he is also not as good as Sun Quan. Sun Quan has been in power since the death of Sun Ce in 200 AD. By the time of the Battle of Yiling, he had dominated the Three Kingdoms for more than 20 years. And At that time, Cao Pi had just usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself. Cao Pi was still a novice in front of Sun Quan, so Sun Quan easily defused Cao Pi's three large-scale attacks."

"Generally speaking, Cao Pi is still a very good king. Politically, he adopted Chen Qun's nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which lasted for hundreds of years. Militaryly, he recovered the three prefectures of Shangyong, and prepared for the next step to crusade against the Shu Han. The foundation was laid, and culturally, he ordered the restoration of Taixue and the establishment of Confucian colleges, resulting in a short-term cultural revival."

"However, a wise man is bound to make a mistake. After Cao Pi became emperor, he made a very bad decision, which caused Cao Wei to lose power in the end. The Sima family seized power and usurped the throne. This decision was to deprive the power of the vassal king."

"Why did Cao Pi make this move? Of course, there are lessons learned from the past. He learned the lessons of the Han Dynasty's vassal states. At the same time, it may also have something to do with Cao Pi's character. Cao Cao has so many sons, and it is not Cao Pi's turn to become emperor, but these sons Either there is something wrong with the body, or Cao Cao doesn’t like it more and more, so we don’t know what happened, the Qing Dynasty still has Jiulong seizing the emperor, and no one knows what to do for that position.”

Kangxi: ...

"Let's talk about how Emperor Sima Yi made the world conquered by Cao Cao become someone else's wedding dress. Sima Yi's life was quite exciting."

Zhu Di: The Sima family used the conspiracy to win the world, not to mention stealing the kingdoms of Cao and Wei. The most important thing is that their Sima family's governance of the world was a mess. The emperors' civil and military skills were not worth mentioning. Only Sima Shao, the Emperor of Jin and Ming Dynasty in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, , quite sober, but only did it for four years.

Qianlong: What’s even more ridiculous is that a fool became emperor.

Qin Shihuang: So outrageous!

Liu Bang: Idiot Emperor!absurd!

Yang Jian: Huh, this Jin Dynasty is really annoying. Sima Yi used conspiracy and tricks to easily seize the Cao family. People are disappointed!
Cao Cao looked at the words on the barrage, and his raging anger was burning. His Wei Kingdom was taken away by Sima Yi?Can a fool become emperor?shame!shame!

"Come on!"

"Prime Minister"

A tiger general hurried to meet him from outside the door, it was Xu Chu.

"Immediately capture Sima Fang, Sima Lang, Sima Yi, Sima Zhao and the rest of Sima's family, and do it quickly without any mistakes!"

Xu Chu agreed and immediately led his troops to Sima's Mansion. At this time, Sima Yi was watching the morning light behind the scenes. He directly called his family, changed his makeup, and ran away. The city gates were closed and people were investigated one by one, while Sima Yi and others ran up the mountain...

"Actually, Sima Yi was able to usurp the throne because of Cao Pi. Cao Pi usurped the Han and established himself. In order to gain the support of the gentry, he set up a nine-rank official system. The gentry rose by leaps and bounds. I don't understand why Cao Pi did this? Cao Cao fought I have been a Tu family all my life, and I dare not be careless, but now Cao Pi has raised the status of the aristocratic family, and can be on an equal footing with the emperor."

Li Shimin: I understand the status of these aristocratic families too well. Why didn't I come this way? It's too difficult to get rid of.

Cao Cao: Although there are reasons for my son, in the final analysis, I still blame Emperor Guangwu. If it hadn’t been for the promotion of the Tu people at that time, let them hold their heads high, and the division of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty would not have occurred.

Cao Pi: No way, if I want to attack Shu Han and Eastern Wu, I must rely on the power of these Tu people. If I can live longer, maybe I should also eradicate the Tu people.

"Sima Yi's road to fame depends on cheating, and this fame and wealth are all given by Cao Pi, but he still lives for a long time."

"When Cao Cao was alive, Sima Yi was the prime minister's chief clerk, just a pawn. However, during Cao Pi's time, it was like flying on a plane. He was promoted to the sky as soon as Cao Pi took office. Sima Yi was promoted to prime minister. After Cao Pi became emperor, Sima Yi He was promoted to Shangshu Youpuse (the Shangshutai during the Cao Wei Dynasty was the highest authority in the country)."

"The old thief Sima went from an ordinary official to a minister under one person in just three years. In fact, if Sima Yi had been a civil servant for a lifetime, he might not have usurped the throne later, but Cao Pi, Cao Rui, father and son, single-handedly trained Sima Yi to be the military god of Cao Wei, let me talk about the personnel arrangement after Cao Pi's death, which is very interesting."

"The four auxiliary ministers, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu are important ministers of the clan, and they are both military generals. Sima Yi and Chen Qun are civil servants with different surnames. This arrangement is very clever. Eastern Han Dynasty It was due to foreign relatives intervening in politics, Chen Qun and Sima Yi, two ministers with different surnames, will be very powerful to contain Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, two highly prestigious clan generals in the army."

"After the death of Cao Pi, his son Cao Rui took over the throne. He also understood his father's arrangement, so when he activated Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu also intended to cultivate Sima Yi's prestige in the army. After Cao Pi's death, Soochow invaded with troops, and Cao Rui ordered Sima Yi to Lead the troops to attack Sun Quan."

"This is also the first time that Sima Yi led an army alone. Sima Yi lived up to expectations. He defeated Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin, beheaded Zhang Baba and won a complete victory. In the same year, Cao Rui promoted Sima Yi to General Hussars. Sima Yi was 48 years old this year. gone."

"Sima Yi started his military career away from the court, and his prestige in the army gradually increased. At that time, Cao Xiu was the great Sima, and Cao Zhen was the great general. The status and prestige of these two people in the army were both higher than that of Sima Yi. , if these two people had not died, there would not have been the subsequent Gaoping Ling Incident. Unfortunately, not only the emperor of the Cao family was short-lived, but the generals of the clan also did not live long. "

"The Gaopingling incident happened because the father and son allowed eunuchs to interfere in politics and mistakenly believed in slander, which caused people with lofty ideals to alienate. In addition, Sima Yi was favored by the people and the royal family because of his outstanding talents, but Cao Rui Push it out.”

"After Cao Rui's death in 239 AD, Sima Yi launched a coup and successfully overthrew the Cao dynasty. After that, Sima Yi became the supreme leader of Wei and began his reign."

"The main reasons were Cao Rui's weakness and incompetence, the eunuchs' interference in politics, and Sima Yi's exclusion. Against this background, Sima Yi began to secretly organize the opposition and seek support from others. At the same time, he also won a large number of people in the army supporters, and gradually developed a powerful anti-Cao dynasty faction."
