Chapter 125 Gaopingling Incident

[Cao Fang, courtesy name Lanqing, was born in 231 AD. 】

[Because all the biological sons of Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui died in infancy, Cao Fang and Qin King Cao Xun were adopted by Cao Cao. 】

[On the first day of the first lunar month in 239 AD, Emperor Wei Ming died of illness. Cao Fang ascended the throne at the age of eight and respected Emperor Wei Ming's Queen Guo as the empress dowager. 】

[Cao Zhen's son, General Cao Shuang, and Taiwei Sima Yi jointly assisted the government. 】

[In July of the same year, Cao Fang took charge of the government and listened to the ministers' reports. In the second year, the year name was changed to Zhengshi. 】

……

Late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian period
Cao Cao looked at the sky with his face on his arm.

This feeling is so familiar...

All we need is a eunuch!

……

[In 241 AD, Soochow Wu attacked Fancheng. Sima Yi led his army to march south, but the Wu army retreated without a fight. Sima Yi took advantage of the situation to pursue and gained a lot. 】

[In February 244 AD, General Cao Shuang wanted to establish his reputation, but refused to listen to Taifu Sima Yi's dissuasion and advocated an attack on Shu. Wei Emperor Cao Fang followed suit. 】

[I issued an edict and ordered Cao Shuang to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Shu. 】

【March. Wang Ping, the general of Shu, led 30,000 Shu troops to guard Hanzhong. 】

[In April, Fei Yi, the great general of Shu, intercepted the Wei army based on the three ridges (Zhongnan Mountain's Shenling, Yaling, and Fenshuiling), and Cao Shuang fought hard. Only to be repaid, but many people were injured. 】

[Guanzhong is therefore empty. 】

[In the ninth month of autumn, Jiang Wan, the great Sima of Shu, resigned from his state post due to illness, and Fei Yi resumed his duties as the governor of Yizhou. 】

……

Big man,

Liu Bang snorted coldly.

"Another idiot who only knows how to fight for power!"

Liu Ying touched her head and said doubtfully:
"Father, who are you scolding?"

Liu Bang glanced sideways at him.

"Of course it's Cao Shuang."

"Huh, Sima Yi first fought against the Han army in Guanzhong for a long time, and then he conquered Liaodong and conquered Jingzhou."

"The prestige in the military can be described as majestic!"

"Cao Shuang obviously wants to compete for prestige in the army."

Liu Bang touched his chin and murmured to himself.

"But he is already a general, why are you fighting for this?"

"Besides, Sima Yi is almost dead of old age, what's the use of targeting him?"

……

[In August 245 AD, Cao Shuang abandoned the Zhongba and Zhongjian camps and handed over the soldiers of the two battalions to the leadership of his younger brother Cao Xi. Sima Yi cited the old emperor's rules to stop him, but Cao Shuang refused to listen. 】

[In the first month of 246 AD, Wu soldiers invaded Peizhong. More than ten thousand people crossed the Mianshui River north to avoid the Wu soldiers. 】

[Sima Yi thought that Miannan was too close to the enemy. If the people fled back, they would attract Wu soldiers, so they should be allowed to stay in the north temporarily. 】

[Cao Shuang refused and ordered the people to return south. They were ambushed by the Wu soldiers and defeated Pezhong, and tens of thousands of people were lost. 】

……

The period of Cao Wei and Emperor Ming
Cao Rui, who swallowed the longevity pill, looked at the sky and was extremely angry!
"Cao Shuang! You are an incredibly stupid waste!"

"Is this how you fight for power and profit?"

"Why did I choose you to be the auxiliary minister!"

"What on earth do you want to do!"

……

[In 247 AD, Sima Yi's wife passed away. General Cao Shuang followed the advice of He Yan, Deng Ti, and Ding Mi and placed Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest in Yongning Palace. 】

[Cao Shuang has since issued orders directly in the name of the emperor. 】

[And brought some of Cao Rui's concubines home to Yinle. 】

[On the other hand, Emperor Cao Fang of Wei liked to pamper and be close to villains. He often entertained and had banquets in the back garden and ignored political affairs.

【Shang Shu He Yan, Sanqi often served as a regular attendant, admonished the official Kong Yi and went to Shu to advise him, but he didn't listen. 】

[Brothers Cao Shuang began to "specialize in government affairs, brothers were also in charge of the imperial army, established many loyalists to the party, and repeatedly changed the system." 】

[Due to the corruption and bribery of Cao Shuang's group, the system reform was in a mess, and the court and the people became increasingly dissatisfied with him. 】

[In May, Sima Yi claimed to be ill and did not ask about political affairs. 】

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu's eyelids kept twitching.

This is so graphic.

Will Cao Shuang usurp the throne in the next second?
and also……

What does Cao Rui think of him?

……

Late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian period
"boom!"

"Bold maniac!"

"Are you going to do what Dong Zhuo did?!"

Cao Cao angrily slapped the stone table.

"This Cao Rui really doesn't know how to recognize people!"

"Tianmu can give you two points just to save face!"

"You should not be given a cent!"

……

The period of Cao Wei and Emperor Ming
"what!!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Cao Shuang! You are looking for death!"

"Cao Fang! You loser!"

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and looked at the sky.

Why don't you fake your own death?

Just look at Cao Wei's situation, they can kill themselves!
Wait until they are in chaos internally, and then send out troops to strike!

Isn’t this the rise of the Han Dynasty?

Zhuge Liang was a little worried, and then he stared at the sky carefully to see if there was any opportunity behind him!
As for waiting for His Majesty's reward, then see if anything can be done.

It's not that he said his child is not good. It is really……

No.

In this sky, all the Han people arrived at Fei Yi.

It is estimated that this three-thirds of an acre of land will not last long.

And it's hard to say whether His Majesty can be included in the evaluation.

Don't you see that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was not mentioned at all?
Even if there are evaluations...

Zhuge Liang sighed.

I'm afraid I won't get a few points.

……

Playing continues on the marquee
Luoyang Taifu Mansion

The old Sima Yi was sitting on the bed, his eyelids were drooped, his eyes were distracted, and his mouth was slightly open.

There were two maids waiting beside him.

One of the maids held a porridge bowl, scooped out a small spoonful of porridge with a porcelain spoon, blew it over and put it into Sima Yi's mouth.

The maid tilted the spoon slightly so that the porridge slowly flowed into Sima Yi's mouth.

Sima Yi's mouth was half open and half closed, and part of the rice porridge flowed down from the corner of his mouth, all over his chest.

The maid hurriedly put down the porridge bowl, picked up a handkerchief and wiped it with Sima Yi.

On the other side of the bed, an official wearing a Jinxian hat looked at this scene in surprise.

……

[In March 248 AD, Cao Shuang and He Yan took the opportunity to collude with the eunuch Zhang Dang and planned to endanger the country. 】

[Because Sima Yi was worried about pretending to be ill, he did not dare to act rashly. 】

[In the winter of the same year, Henan Yin Li Sheng went to Jingzhou to serve as governor and visited Sima Yi before leaving. 】

[Sima Yi pretended to be seriously ill. After Li Sheng came out, he said to Cao Shuang: "Sima Gong's body is still alive, and his body and spirit are gone, so there is no need to worry."]

[The next day, he said again: "It's disappointing that the master cannot be revived." Therefore, Cao Shuang and others did not put any caution against Sima Yi. 】

……

Playing continues on the marquee
Sima Yi put on his military uniform, gathered his soldiers, opened the door, and walked to the door.

Three thousand dead soldiers gathered here like dark clouds.

Looking at his two sons in front of him.

Sima Yi raised the sword in his right hand.

"Raise troops!"

The picture pauses here and the colors fade away.

It became a black and white picture.

And five large white characters slowly emerged.

"The Incident of Gaopingling"

……

[On the sixth day of the first lunar month in 249 AD, Emperor Cao Fang of Wei paid a visit to the tomb of Emperor Ming of Wei in Gaoping Ling. Brother Cao Shuang and his cronies went with him. 】

[Sima Yi and his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao took the opportunity to launch a coup. 】

[In the name of the Queen Mother, Luoyang was sealed off and the court was controlled. 】

[Sima Yi then wrote a letter to Wei Emperor Cao Fang explaining Cao Shuang's crimes, but the letter was blocked by Cao Shuang and Cao Fang was not informed. 】

[Cao Shuang was panicked, embarrassed, and at a loss, so he kept Cao Fang's chariot and driver overnight south of Yishui, cut down trees to build a defense, and dispatched thousands of soldiers stationed in the fields as guards. 】

……

Late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian period
Cao Cao is really in a trance now.

Sima Yi...

Is this a rebellion? !
Does he want to be Yuan Shao? Still thinking...

solitary?
"There is a turning point! There is a turning point!"

"Cao Shuang still has the emperor in his hands!"

Just use the emperor's edict to call on the soldiers and horses of the world to besiege Luoyang City!

The Sima family will die without a burial place!

In any case, the Queen Mother's will is far inferior to the Emperor's edict!

This is!
"Holding the emperor to order the princes?"

……

Cao Wei and Emperor Wen's period
Cao Pi's eyes widened.

Yes, I know that the replacement of state-owned enterprises cannot last long.

But that’s a little too fast!

...Fortunately, there was Qin Chao in front of him, otherwise it would have been a huge loss of face.

Cao Pi suddenly felt at ease.

"Instruct Sima Yi to enter the palace."

I can't solve the problems of future generations, but I can solve the current problems.

……

The period of Cao Wei and Emperor Ming
Cao Rui sat down on the bed.
There was a buzzing in my head.

Two auxiliary ministers!

No one is good!
"I'm really blind..."

"Cao Shuang...Sima Yi..."

Cao Rui gritted his teeth in hatred.

Originally, he thought that Sima Yi wanted to take the opportunity to ask the queen to issue an edict to accuse Cao Shuang of his crimes, and then send troops to capture Cao Shuang.

Unexpectedly!

This old guy wants to get it right in one step!

A coup d'état!

Even if it means breaking the sky!

That is also a rebellion!

From the beginning of his thinking, he never thought about being loyal to Wei!
"What a loyal minister and good general!"

"What a pillar of the country!"

……

 Sima Yi didn't comment on his performance, and Cao Cao could barely make it through. Sima Yi was one generation away from the founding of the Jin Dynasty!
