Unlike Cao Mengde's usurpation, Sima's usurpation was completed in the hands of his descendants; Sima Yi's outrageous things in his later years were to build a temple in Luoyi, and second, to confine down the prince of Cao Wei.

In addition, Sima Yi did not surpass Cao Cao's precedent at least on the surface, and his position has always stayed at the level of a powerful minister - for example, his official position has always stayed in the position of Taifu, and the prime minister, Jiuxi, Xiangguo, and county dukes given by the imperial court are not accepted.

When Cao Cao was alive, most of his position had already been completed; In the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty "allowed" Cao Cao to "visit the unknown and go to the palace with a sword", such as the story of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

If he stops here, he will be a prime minister, but Cao Cao is not satisfied with this.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao raised troops and claimed to be 400,000, and personally conquered Sun Quan in the south.

In the first month of the following year, Cao's army marched to the mouth of the river, broke through Sun Quan's camp in Jiangbei, and captured his general Sun Yang.

Sun Quan personally led an army of 70,000, went to the mouth of the water to resist the Cao army, the two armies held each other for more than a month, Cao Cao's water army lost the battle, due to the spring rain pouring, the river rose, Cao Cao saw that it was difficult to win, so he withdrew the army to the north.

In May of the same year, the "Yu Gong" Kyushu was restored, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty canonized Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, and added Jiuxi, built the Wei State, and set the capital of the country in Yecheng.

This step can be regarded as the sealing of the territory, but since the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang has come to this point, and Cao Mengde's heart is known to passers-by.

Wei Fengguo owned the land of ten counties in Jizhou, and placed hundreds of officials such as prime ministers, captains, and generals.

At this point, Cao Cao took another step on the road to usurpation.

In April of the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty canonized Cao Cao as the king of Wei again, 30,000 households, located on the princes and kings, did not call the ministers, did not worship the edict, and worshiped the world with the crown of the Son of Heaven, the car uniform, the flag, the suburb of the ceremonial music, and the entry and exit were called the police, the temple, the ancestors, and the wax were all like the Han system, the national capital Yecheng, and the princes were all liehous, and he was still nominally a Hanchen at this time, in fact, he was already the emperor.

In the winter and October of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Cao Cao the crown of two out of ten, taking the golden root car, driving six horses, and setting up a five-hour auxiliary car, Cao Cao made Cao Pi the prince of Wei with the five official Zhonglang.

At this point, Cao Wei's usurpation of the throne has been completely completed by Cao Cao, but the three kingdoms of the world are divided, and no great contribution has been made to the world, Cao Cao still hesitates and has not brazenly claimed the emperor.

This is not the case with the Sima family, what Sima Yi did caused Sima Shi and Sima Zhao to have to fight for the title of the prime minister of Jiuxi after he came to power, that is to say, in fact, the specific process of Sima Shi's usurpation was handled by the Sima brothers.

Of course, these two brothers look extremely ugly - Sima Shixing was abolished, and Sima Zhao engaged in murder, which can be described as very unscrupulous; Before, half of the battle of the Han Dynasty was fought, and Zhong Hui was still stuck at Jianmen Pass, Sima Zhao felt that the big event had been decided, and the prince of the prime minister and the country of Jiuxi could not wait.

After that, without getting further good news, he immediately added the title of King of Jin, and when he came to this point, it was naturally known to passers-by, but there was no way back.

And now, the war to destroy the country has failed.

If the crimes of the Sima family are calculated according to ten buckets, then Sima Zhao accounts for seven buckets, Sima Shi accounts for two buckets, and Sima Yi only accounts for one bucket.

Of course, this does not mean that Sima is a good person, and Cao's own body is also a great responsibility, just like at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty chose the then general He Jin to assist the government, and then a series of incidents, what is Liu Hong's responsibility, who doesn't know?

In that year, Sima Yi rebelled, taking advantage of Cao Shuang and others to go to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship Emperor Wei Ming, and when there was a short gap in the power vacuum in the capital, he launched a coup d'état with 3,000 privately raised dead soldiers, occupied the arsenal, attacked the imperial city, drove straight into Sima Gate, and coerced the Empress Dowager Guo to order the world. This was the last battle of Sima Yi's seizure of power, and it was also the basis for Sima's later usurpation of the world, known as the "Gaopingling Incident" in history.

Since then, Cao Wei changed his surname to Sima, and the power was firmly held in the hands of Sima Yi's father and son, and the prophecy of the three horse troughs finally came true.

This road, Sima Yi has walked for 41 years, however, unlike the previous Sima Yi's "fast, steady and ruthless" style, this time Sima Yi is actually quite "risky", it is really a desperate gamble, he gambled, as the Cao Wei clan, the auxiliary minister and general Cao Shuang did not dare to confront him head-on.

Someone said: Sima Yi asked his son Sima Zhao: "What do you think of Cao Shuang's comparison with Zhuge Liang?" Sima Zhao replied: "Mole ant! “

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Cao Shuang is naturally an ant, of course, this cannot be said by Sima Zhao.

After all, for the Sima family, Cao Shuang is not an ant.

Emperor Wei Ming entrusted the orphan, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were both auxiliary ministers.

At the beginning, Cao Shuang asked Sima Yi's opinion on everything.

Soon after, Cao Shuang adopted Ding Mi's strategy to make Sima Yi the Taifu, honor his position, and empty his power, and gradually hollowed out Sima Yi's power.

In this way, Cao Shuangsheng suppressed Sima Yi for 9 years, and Sima Yi could barely save his life by pretending to be sick and taking out the old routine of refusing to become Cao Cao's staff.

On the eve of the Gao Pingling Incident, Cao Shuang can be said to have completely controlled the supreme power of Cao Wei.

His subordinates also have a large number of capable cadres, such as the "Four Congs and Eight Masters" back then.

He would never have imagined that Sima Yi, who was already in a state of "near-death", would fight back and launch such a blatant mutiny.

Once, Cao Shuang sent his henchman Ding Mi to Sima Mansion to visit the patient, and Sima Yi pretended to be blind and deaf and deceived Ding Mi.

This reassured Cao Shuang and his party, and they were looking forward to Sima Yi's timely death.

If this is the case, this old minister of the Four Dynasties will have completed his merits, and Sima Yi will be famous in history as a famous minister and good general of the Great Wei Dynasty.

However, their wish was still disappointed, and this "mound tiger" seemed destined to become the gravedigger of the Great Wei Dynasty.

There is no doubt that when Sima Yi broke out, Cao Shuang's state was completely confused.

Shi Youyan: "It is so cool that King Xuan (Sima Yi) is doing things, but he can't get through, and he is embarrassed and doesn't know what to do." “

Although Cao Shuang "doesn't know what to do", he is not powerless.

His subordinates, Dasi Nong Huanfan, who escaped from Luoyang at that time, provided him with two feasible suggestions: one was to take the Son of Heaven to Xuchang and call on the soldiers and horses of the world to fight against Sima Yi for the crime of rebellion.

If this is the case, Sima Yi is likely to be ruined and end up in a mess of ministers and thieves.

Seeing Cao Shuang's hesitation, Huan Fan went to persuade Cao Xi again, proposing to temporarily use the army of the Que Nan Battalion and his agricultural lieutenant to resist Sima Yi, and even proposed that he could personally raise food and grass for them, and the words were already very clear: Sima Yi openly rebelled, and if you don't resist, you will definitely not die.

However, Cao Shuang and Cao Xi's brothers still couldn't listen, they didn't know what they were hesitating about?

When the Dasi Nong Pei Guohuan Fan heard the soldiers, he should not be summoned by the Queen Mother, and opened the Pingchang Gate, pulled out the sword and halberd, and waited for the door slightly, and ran south to be cool.

Xuan Wang Zhi said: "Fan Huace, Shuang must not use Fan Strategy." Fan said that Shuang made the car lucky to drive Xuchang and recruited foreign soldiers.

Brother Cao Shuang hesitated, and Fan Chong said: "Today, can you get the poor and lowly to recover?" And the husband holds a quality person, still wants to live, Jinqing and the Son of Heaven are with each other, so that in the world, who dares not to do it? "Xi still can't accept it.

Sima Yi heard that Huan Fan had escaped, and said, "Cao Shuang will definitely not listen to Huan Fan's words", how could he be so sure? Is it really God's reckoning?

In fact, this sentence can also be understood as Sima Yi's words of comfort to himself.

Because then, Sima Yi sent a group of people such as Xu Yun, Shangshu Chen Tai, and Cao Shuang's confidant Lieutenant Yin Damu to take turns to say that Cao Shuang was surrendered, and even swore to Luoshui to gamble on the sky, which shows that Sima Yi is also flustered and anxious.

On Cao Shuang's side, he was cowardly at a critical moment.

And this cowardice also buried Cao Wei's country, we try to interpret Cao Shuang's mentality at that time, with the Son of Heaven and military power in hand, not in a disadvantaged situation, why did he surrender without resistance?

On the one hand, he is naturally afraid of Sima Yi's prestige, the old ministers of the four dynasties, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, and they use soldiers like gods, and there is almost no sign of defeat.

Fighting with Sima Yi, the odds of winning are not high, as far as the current situation is concerned, Sima Yi is preemptive, I am afraid that he has already prepared, even if he calls on the king of soldiers and horses in the world in the name of the Son of Heaven, maybe few people will respond by then, everyone will wait and see, which is very embarrassing.

On the other hand, Cao Shuanggui is the clan relative of the Cao family, the world is the world of the Cao family, no matter how bold Sima Yi is, he will not dare to abolish the Son of Heaven, right? As long as the Son of Heaven is still there, he can basically keep his wealth and wealth, so why bother to fight with Sima Yi for your life? In the future, the Son of Heaven will be in power, and the power will naturally return to the Cao family. Therefore, it can be ignored at this time.

Moreover, Sima Yi has repeatedly sent ministers from the DPRK and China to explain, and even swore to the heavens, as if out of sincerity, he might as well believe him once.

It can also be seen from this that Cao Shuang probably just wanted to be autocratic before, not only did he not want to kill Sima Yi, but also allowed him to stay rich and noble for a long time, so he compared his heart to his heart, naively thinking that Sima Yi would be the same as him.

As everyone knows, the arrow is off the string, the knife has been hung around the neck, this kind of blatant rebellion against the condemnation of the world, how can there be room for coexistence with you.

Of course, Sima's actions also brought Sima's to a dilemma.

For example, Zhong Hui, it is not that Zhong Hui wants to turn his back on Sima, but that he has reached the point where he will die if he does not advance.

Think about it carefully in the position of Zhong Hui, when he walks to Chengdu and captures Deng Ai, if he doesn't choose to rebel, then the second half of his life will not only be bad, but it may end early.

Under Sima Zhao, the king of Jin who returned to the Wei court with the merit of destroying the Han Dynasty, the fate of Zhonghui is roughly these five templates:

Du Pre - Although he made the merit of building and destroying the country, he kept his duty, did not ask for much, and paid attention to the busy and external management of the occupied areas, while constantly staining himself, using the proceeds of corruption to please the nobles of the DPRK and China, not seeking glory before death, but only seeking peace of mind after death.

Wang Jun - high-profile meritorious service, high-profile reward, whoever dares to yin me, will be scolded on the spot. In the end, he ended up with a false general, which made the emperor and magnates all disgusted and hated, and he was constantly hit in his later years.

Shi Bao - honestly led the troops to do things in the local area, although he was framed, he was almost forced to rebel. still can't shout grievances, and obediently handed over the military power, returned to Beijing as a public servant, and life and death are up to heaven.

Zhuge Dan - It's not how powerful you are, it's just that because the emperor and the magnates are too useless, you seem to be powerful, and in order to save your life, you have to collude with Wu to rebel, internal and external troubles, and you will die if you succeed, and you will die if you don't.

Wang Ling - Fight to collude with the prince of the Sima clan to rebel together, and was killed by blitzkrieg because of insufficient preparation.

It's all exciting, but it's not comfortable, right?

Not only is it uncomfortable, but even if Zhong Hui wants to do it, it will not work.

Because when Jing Yao was six years old, all the actual circumstances did not allow him to do this.

First of all, although Sima Zhao is not very old, his health is poor, Zhong Hui is a close minister, so it can naturally be seen that Sima Zhao's life is not long, after all, most of the children of the Sima family do not live long, which is one of the reasons why Deng Ai took the risk of attacking the Han Kingdom.

In this way, we can repay the grace of knowing and get the reputation of the dragon hero, so as to seal the wife and son, and the family will be promoted.

And Sima Yan's talent and prestige are not as good as his father and uncle, and Sima Yan has few people of the same clan who can steadily support his son Sima Yan, not to mention that Sima Zhao doesn't like Sima Yan either, but prefers his second son Sima You.

The most important thing is that once Sima Zhao dies, it is difficult to imagine that Sima Yan can control a person with such talent and authority as Zhong Hui.

Yingchuan Zhong's family is also much higher than the Hanoi Sima family, and the prestige has also been accumulated since the Han Dynasty, and it has been a prince for generations, but it is much stronger than the Sima family, and the Zhong Hui after Sima Zhao's death is actually very close to Sima Yi after Cao Rong's death.

Although Zhong Hui has a son who is placed as a hostage in China, but the Yingchuan Zhong family has its own in-laws to protect it, and the Sima family does not dare and will not do this, of course, it is true, then the Zhong family has the rest of the sons.

In addition, the reputation of the Sima family is not much better than that of the Cao family, and the procedures for being proclaimed emperor by Zen have not been completed, so Zhong Hui has one less scruple in acting.

Therefore, rebellion is the best choice for Zhonghui.

Some people may say that the Sima family is not blindly mean, there are more refreshing Jia Chong packages and Wang Hun packages, they are greedy and violent and protected by the imperial power, and they are very happy...... Of course, the prerequisites are different, Jia Chong, Wang Hun and other poor families can eat this luxury package, but Zhong Hui, a high-ranking valve, can't eat it.

So, let Zhong Hui bow his head well, be a low-key person, and learn to have a good relationship with Sima Yan?

Don't say that Zhong Hui is arrogant and can't do it, but he really wants to do it, is his acting skills compared to the actor Ninja King Sima Yi, and he has developed more intoxicating acting skills in addition to Alzheimer's disease behind his ears, is he willing to put this in mind? I will not bow this head, but I will only clearly want to usurp your power.

Not to mention, seeing such an imperial foundation as the country of abundance in Yizhou, the soldiers seem to be loyal and available, and they have also met a hero like Jiang Wei who is willing to devote his allegiance.

Why not take a gamble?

After all, can the rebellion of the Sima family be called a rebellion?

The Sima clan can oppose Cao Wei, the Zhong clan is also more qualified to oppose Sima Jin, and the world's high-ranking lords are more qualified to oppose it, so this bad start has begun.

Then there are hundreds of years of troubled times, people with intentions gradually offside, the dragon and snake of the north and south dynasties rose together, and finally Huaxia lost its clothes, so that Sima Yi was not innocent at the beginning, and in such a great crime, only one point is also to blame!
