Wei-Wu coup d'état

On January 6, 249, Cao Fang went to pay homage to his adoptive father, Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming. Cao Shuang, Cao Xi, Cao Xun, and Cao Yan all accompanied him. Sima Yi immediately seized the opportunity and falsely passed on the order of the Empress Dowager Guo, closed all the gates of Luoyang, and sent troops to occupy the arsenal and the pontoon bridge on the Luoshui outside the city. He also asked Situ Gaorou to pretend to be a general. went to take control of Cao Shuang's military camp; The prince of the prince watched the military and went to control Cao Xi's military camp. After everything was controlled, he went to see the Empress Dowager Guo and accused Cao Shuang of dictatorship and rebellion, and his crime should be abolished. After getting the permission of the Empress Dowager Guo, the Taiwei Jiang Ji and Shang Shu ordered Sima Fu and the two to immediately draft a draft to take back the military power of the Cao Shuang brothers, let them dismiss the official and return to the first, and still enjoy the marquis's salary, but to send the Son of Heaven back as soon as possible. Dare to have a detention and engage in military law.

At this time, Cao Fang had finished paying homage to Gao Pingling and was on his way back. Suddenly received this edict drafted by the Huangmen official in the name of the Empress Dowager Guo. Cao Shuang lacked the talent to adapt, so he just ordered to stay in the south of Yishui first, cut down the wood for antlers, send thousands of soldiers to the tuntian, set up camp first, and wait and see how the situation develops...

The two gangs of Cao Shuang and Sima Yi came on the field at this critical moment, staged their respective scenes, and also reaped different endings: Sima Yi first sent Xu Yun and Shangshu Chen Tai to meet Cao Shuang and persuade Cao Shuang to take the initiative to give up his military power to save his life. He also sent Yin Damu, a lieutenant lieutenant in the palace that Cao Shuang trusted, to see Cao Shuang and convey Sima Yi's meaning: he only hoped to dismiss Cao Shuang and take away the military power, but he didn't want Cao Shuang's life and his title, and swore an oath to Luoshui.

On Cao Shuang's side, there were Sima Luzhi, Yang Zong, Xin Chang, Si Nong Huanfan, and others who were still in Luoyang City at this time. Lu Zhi and Xin Chang discussed and decided to go out of the city to join Cao Shuang. Xin Chang's sister Xin Xianying said to Xin Chang, "Taifu, this time, it is a coup d'état launched to kill the general" Xin Chang asked, "Can Taifu succeed?" Xin Xianying said: "The general is not Taifu's opponent, and the success or failure is already known" Xin Chang asked again, "Then what should I do?" Go out of the city to accompany Cao Shuang to the funeral" Xin Xianying said, "Of course I want to go!" Duty is the righteousness of a minister. Ordinary people should help when they are in trouble. Besides, you are a subordinate of the Great General. But you just need to conform to the crowd, and do your duty as a courtier, Sima Yi will not kill you" Xin Chang listened to his sister's words, and led dozens of horsemen with Lu Zhi and Yang Zong to kill from Jinmen and go to Cao Shuang.

When the news came, Sima Yi did not panic. But he suddenly thought of Huan Fan, who was known to be resourceful. This person must not be allowed to go out of the city and give Cao Shuang advice. So he hurriedly sent someone to summon Huan Fan in the name of Empress Dowager Guo and named him the leader of the Central Army. Huan Fan's son said to his father, "If the son is outside today, you must follow" Huan Fan decided to go out of the city to Cao Shuang. When I came to Pyeongchang Gate, the city gate was closed. The gatekeeper is Huan Fan's former Si Fan. Huan Fan raised the plate in his hand and shook it to Si Fan, "The Queen Mother has an edict, open the city gate quickly", Si Fan asked to check the edict. was reprimanded by Huan Fan: "You were my former official." How dare you doubt me?" Si Fan had to open the city gate. After Huan Fan left the city, he turned back to Si Fan and said, "Taifu is rebelling, Qing Ke can go with me quickly" Si Fan was shocked, but he couldn't chase him anymore, so he could only return to Sima Yi. Sima Yi was shocked, and said to Jiang Ji, "The think tank has gone, what should I do now" Jiang Ji was very calm, "The horse loves the stack bean, Cao Shuang must not use it." Worry-free too"

When Huan Fan arrived, he suggested that Cao Shuang go to Xuchang first with the Son of Heaven, and then use the edict of the Son of Heaven to levy troops from all directions to defeat Sima Yi. Seeing Cao Shuang's hesitation, Huan Fan said to Cao Xi again, "The husband is in trouble, and he still wants to survive." Now that the Son of Heaven is in our hands, commanding the world, who dares not to do it? You have other battalions of soldiers and horses outside the city, and there are weapons in the Xuchang storehouse, and I have brought with me the seal of the big Si Nong who can requisition grain. This goes to Xuchang, but it can be reached overnight. However, from Jiaye to Wugu, none of the Cao Shuang brothers could make a decision, so they acted according to Huan Fan's plan.

Huan Fan was anxious, and urged in the account: "General, you have been thinking about it for a night. Can't you decide that "Cao Shuang threw his knife to the ground"! I handed over the military power, and after the dismissal, I can still be a rich man" Huan Fan was completely disappointed and cried out of the account, "General Cao Zhen is also a generation of heroes, but he gave birth to you and other brothers, just like a young man." It's a pity that I will be wiped out with you today."

At dawn the next day, Cao Shuang came to see Cao Fang, asked Cao Fang to issue an edict to dismiss himself, and then handed over the general's seal, and then sent Cao Fang back to the palace. Yang Zong hurriedly made a final effort, "You are still holding the Son of Heaven and holding the power in your hands." But once it is handed over, I am afraid that Dongshi will be killed," Cao Shuang replied, "Taifu should not lose his trust in me"

On the same day, the Cao Shuang brothers returned home after returning to the palace with the Son of Heaven. Sima Yi immediately ordered the officials in Luoyang City to be requisitioned and the Cao Mansion was besieged. Make a tall building at the four corners, and let people monitor the Cao Shuang brothers' every move on the tall building. When Cao Shuang arrived in the back garden, someone upstairs shouted "The old general goes southeast", which made Cao Shuang extremely depressed.

On the 10th, Sima Yi finally found a breakthrough to attack Cao Shuang. The relevant departments played, "There is a Huangmen official named Zhang Dang, who once secretly sent the talented people of the first emperor to Cao Shuang, suspected of being a traitor", so Zhang Dang was immediately arrested and interrogated in the Tingwei Mansion. As a result, Zhang Dang confessed that "Cao Shuang, He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Bi Rail, Li Sheng and others conspired to rebel." Soon, the three brothers Cao Shuang, Cao Xi, and Cao Xun, as well as He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Bi Rail, Li Sheng, and Huan Fan, were all imprisoned. In addition, Zhang Dang, all of them were razed for the crime of "great rebellion".

Lu Zhi, Yang Zong, and Xin Chang were also arrested, and Yousi also wanted to punish them. Sima Yi showed his generosity at this time, and in order to win people's hearts, he said, "These three people are just their own masters." all of them were released" and appointed Lu Zhi as the middle of the imperial history and Yang Zong as Shang Shulang. After Xin Chang was released from prison, he sighed, "It's my sister's good teaching that can save me from this difficulty"

Cao Shuang died early from his younger brother Uncle Wen, leaving a widow Xiahou Lingnu and had no children, so his father Xiahou Wenning had to arrange for his daughter to remarry. Xiahou ordered the girl to cut off both ears with a knife, and would rather die than obey. Now that Cao Shuang has been punished, Xiahou Wenning has forced his daughter home from Cao's house and forced her to remarry again. Xiahou Lingnu took a knife and cut her nose again, and her family persuaded her, "Life in the world is like light dust perching on weak grass, why do you suffer like this?" And your husband's house has been wiped out, who do you keep the festival for?" Xiahou Lingnu cried, "The benevolent do not change the festival with prosperity and decline, and the righteous do not change their hearts with survival." When the Cao family was in its prime, I didn't want to remarry. Now that I am perishing, how can I bear to forsake it? I will never do anything about this trip to the beast" Sima Yi also felt respectful after knowing this, and allowed her to adopt a child after the Cao family.

Guan Yan's uncle asked Guan Qi, "What kind of faces did you look at He Yan and Deng Yang at that time?" It was expected that their death would not be far away, and Deng Yang walked, his muscles were not bound to his bones, his veins were not meaty, he stood up and leaned, if he had no hands and feet, this was a ghostly appearance. He Yan looks at the soul and does not guard the house, the blood is not gorgeous, the essence is smoky, and the appearance is like a tree, which is the appearance of ghosts. Neither is a sign of good fortune."

He Yan prides himself on being romantic and elegant. Pink and white don't go to the hand, and walk in the shadow. With Xiahou Xuan, Xun Cang, Wang Bi and others, he loves to talk, loves to read the empty book of Lao Zhuang, and calls the Confucian "Six Classics" the dregs of sages. Scholars and doctors all over the world are also vying for it. Although he has been killed, he has become a remnant. The disadvantages of Wei and Jin Qing talked about actually started from He Yan.

On the 18th, Cao Fang issued an edict of amnesty. On the 19th, Cao Fang ordered Taichang Wang Su to canonize Sima Yi as prime minister, and added 4 counties of Fanchang, Yanling, Xinji, and Fathercheng in Yingchuan County, plus the original total of 20,000 households in 8 counties. And enjoy the privilege of not being named, such as the story of Huo Guang in the Western Han Dynasty. and add nine tin. But Sima Yi stubbornly refused to accept it. At this time, Sima Yi was 71 years old and died more than two years away. The longest-lived one among the people of the Three Kingdoms (Cao Cao died at the age of 66, Liu Bei died at the age of 63, Zhuge Liang died at the age of 54, and Sun Quan died at the age of 71) was finally survived by him until the day when the coup d'état in Gaopingling was successful and he took sole control of the Wei State...

Cao Shuang was punished, and it also affected the generals who were outside. Xiahou Ba is the second son of Xiahou Yuan, whose father died at the hands of Huang Zhong, a general of the Shu Han Dynasty, and he often has the will to take revenge for this. Now stationed in Longxi County, it is under the command of Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengxi. Xiahou Xuan is Xiahou Ba's subordinate and Cao Shuang's younger brother. After Cao Shuang was killed, Xiahou Xuan was recalled by Sima Yi to Luoyang, the capital division, and acted as Xiahou Xuan's position with Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou. Xiahouba and Guo Huai have always been at odds, and they were afraid of being implicated in Cao Shuang's case, so they chose to defect to the Shu Han regime, the former enemy who killed their father. Liu Chan personally received him and said to Xiahou, "What happened back then was in front of the two armies, and it was not my ancestors who wanted to harm Qing's father" Xiahou Ba thanked him. Jiang Wei came to see Xiahou Ba and asked, "Now that Sima Yi is dictatorial, I don't know if he has the ambition to conquer our country," Xiahou Ba replied, "He has just gained power and has no time to take care of foreign affairs." But there is one person in the Wei State, who is Zhong Hui, the son of Taifu Zhong Xuan. If this person is allowed to gain power, it will be Wu Shu's worries."

In March, Sima Zhu Ran, the left great Sima of Eastern Wu, died.

On April 8, Cao Fang issued an edict to change Yuan Jiaping.

On the 9th, Sun Quan ordered the hussar general Zhu to lead the prime minister.

After Cao Shuang was executed, Taiwei Jiang Ji entered the feudal capital of the township, Jiang Ji resigned, but Cao Fang did not allow it. Jiang Ji became ill because of this. He died on the 19th.

In the autumn, Jiang Wei was ready to inherit Zhuge Liang's legacy and start his own 'Nine Expeditions to the Central Plains'. But before he set off, he was poured a basin of cold water on his head by Fei Yi, who was half a level higher than him, "Want the Northern Expedition?" OK! But you can't lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses," Fei Yi's reason was quite high-sounding, "Our intelligence is far inferior to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng." And Cheng has not been able to pacify the Central Plains for many years, let alone my generation? It is better to protect the country and the people, and treat capable people. Don't leave anything to chance. Otherwise, once you fail, you will regret it" Jiang Wei insisted on the invitation, and finally got the consent of the queen Liu Chan, and sent troops to the Northern Expedition.

The target of Jiang Wei's attack was Cao Wei's Yongzhou, first built two cities on the Koji Mountain, ordered Ju'an and Li Xin to defend them respectively, and then led the Qiang Hu soldiers to attack the counties. Chen Tai, the assassin of Yongzhou, suggested to Guo Huai, the general of Zhengxi, that he take the city of Koji first. Guo Huai ordered Chen Tai to lead Xu Qian, Deng Ai and others to go.

Chen Tai surrounded the city and cut off all its grain and water sources. The city only received food and snow to survive. When Jiang Wei learned about it, he immediately led his troops to rescue him and encountered Chen Tai in Niutou Mountain. Chen Tai ordered all the troops to fortify and not fight, and sent an envoy to ask Guo Huai to send troops to cut off Jiang Wei's way back. Guo Huai marched into Taoshui. Jiang Wei had no choice but to retreat, and Ju An and Li Xin surrendered to Wei.

Deng Ai said, "The thief is not far away, and he may come back, so it is advisable to divide the army to be prepared", so Deng Ai was left on the north bank of Baishui and stationed. Three days later, Jiang Wei really sent Liao Hua to the south bank of Baishui. But what made Deng Ai strange was that Liao Hua didn't cross the river to attack. After thinking about it, Deng Ai thought that Jiang Wei must have led the main force to sneak attack Taocheng, which was 60 miles east of his station, and let Liao Hua contain himself here. Deng Ai hurriedly took the path overnight and rushed there. Jiang Wei was a step slower, crossed the river and attacked the city, and the first Northern Expedition failed like this, and Jiang Wei led the army back to Hanzhong.

Sikong Wang Ling and Yanzhou Assassin Shi Linghu Yu were the two nephews and uncles who led heavy troops and specialized in Huainan. Seeing that Cao Shuang was weak and subject to the strong minister Sima Yi, they plotted to set up Cao Biao, the son of Cao Cao and the king of Chu, as the emperor, and set the capital of Xuchang to compete with the Luoyang court. In September, Linghu Yu sent Zhang Shi to Baima County, Dongjun, to meet Cao Biao, the king of Chu. Wang Ling sent people to Luoyang to see his son Wang Guang. Wang Guang advised his father not to act recklessly, but Wang Ling did not listen. In November, Linghu Yu sent Zhang Shi to see Cao Biao again. Before Zhang Shi returned, Ling Huyu had already died of illness.

On December 9, Sikong Wang Ling was transferred to the post of lieutenant. On the 18th, Sun Li, the captain of Sili, was promoted to Sikong.

This year, Xu Miao, a Guanglu doctor who was famous for the Qing Festival, passed away.

In August 250, Sun Quan finally issued an edict to abolish Chang Liyou. Princess Sun Luban married her husband's niece and granddaughter to her half-brother Sun Liang, forming a closer alliance with Sun Liang's biological mother, Madame Pan. The two of them whispered bad things about the brothers Sun He and King Sun Ba of Lu in Sun Quan's ears every day. Sun Quan couldn't help but say to his grandson and servant, Sun Jun, "The brothers are not harmonious, and the subordinates divide the party." I'm afraid to follow Yuan Shao's mistakes and laugh for the world. It seems that I should have made a decision" Sun Jun's sister married Quan Cong's nephew Quan Shang, who is Sun Liang's mother-in-law. Sun Jun himself also had an affair with the widowed Sun Luban, so of course Sun Jun supported Sun Liang.

Sun Quan ordered Sun He to be imprisoned. Zhu Ju and Qu Huang led the generals to tie themselves up, and pleaded for Sun He for days. Chen Zheng and Chen Xiang wrote a book to admonish. Sun Quan didn't listen. He also ordered Chen Zheng and Chen Xiang to be executed. Zhu Ju and Qu Huang each had a hundred rods, Zhu Ju was demoted to Xindu Juncheng, Qu Huang returned to the field, and the rest of the officials who were killed and demoted were still a dozen. Before Zhu Ju took office in the place where he was degraded, he was caught up by Sun Hong with Sun Quan's edict and given death.

In the end, Sun Quan ordered the crown prince Sun He to be deposed as a concubine and relocated to his hometown. King Sun Ba of Lu died. Yang Zhu, Quan Ji, Wu An, Sun Qi and other Sun Ba's comrades were all killed. Shen Yangzhu's body is in the river. Yang Zhu's brother Yang Mu listened to Lu Xun's persuasion and separated from Yang Zhu early, and this time he was finally not implicated.

In October, Cao Wei Lujiang was too shou Wenqin to surrender in order to lure Wu general Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi knew that he was deceitful, and went to Sun Quan to say that Wen Qin was unwelcome. But Sun Quan still sent Lu Ju with 20,000 people to meet Zhu Yi. However, Zhu and Lu Erjun are both slow to advance. In the end, it was discovered that Wen Qin was cheating.

In November, Sikong Sun Li died.

In November, Sun Quanli's youngest seventh son, 8-year-old Sun Liang, became the crown prince. Sun Quan sent 100,000 soldiers to make a Tangyi Tutang and flood the North Road to block the Wei army.
