Cao Rong's death
In July, heavy rain continued for months, and the water swelled. The grain ship has been able to reach the city of Xiangping from the mouth of the Liaohe River, and the water depth of the flat land is several feet. The generals suggested moving the camp one after another, but Sima Yi strictly ordered "those who dare to move the camp to be beheaded", and Shi Zhangjing became the chicken who was killed for the monkey.
Sima Chen Qi asked Sima Yi, "When you attacked Shangyong, you fought day and night. In ten days, he uprooted the city and captured Mengda. Now you are so slow that you are still at the mercy of the rebels. This is why" Sima Yi replied, "At the beginning, Meng Da had less soldiers and more food, and my soldiers were four times as large as him, but the grain and grass were not enough for a month, so I had to take it by surprise and win quickly." And now the thieves are outnumbered, and the thieves are hungry and I am full. Why rush to attack? From the day I set out on the expedition, I have not worried about thieves attacking, but I am afraid that thieves will go. Now, if he is forbidden to pick, he will be forced to flee. Cannot! Now just wait for the rain to stop, I will surround the army with a large army, and this battle will be won."
The news of the heavy rain reached Luoyang, and the ministers all suggested that the troops should be dismissed. Cao Rong said, "Sima Yi is in danger to make changes, and Gongsun Yuan can be captured in a few days"
The heavy rain finally stopped, and Sima Yi ordered to make a dirt mountain tunnel, and the lug hook rushed, attacking the city day and night, and the arrows and stones were like rain. Gongsun Yuan's rebels ran out of food, cannibalism, and many dead, and the general Yang Zuo and others had surrendered to Sima Yi. In August, Gongsun Yuan sent Wang Jian and Liu Fu to meet Sima Yi and ask for a surrender. Sima Yi ordered the two to be beheaded, and asked Gongsun Yuan to surrender in person. Gongsun Yuan sent his cronies Wei Yan to beg for surrender. Sima Yi said, "There are five major military things: fighting, defending, leaving, surrendering, and dying." If you don't fight now, you don't defend or leave, and you don't want to come and surrender in person, then wait for death" Xiangping City was broken, and Gongsun Yuan and his son Gongsun Xiu led hundreds of horsemen out of the city and fled to the southeast. Sima Yi sent a large number of soldiers to pursue, and finally beheaded Gongsun Yuan and his son on Liangshui.
After Sima Yi entered Xiangping City, he ordered to kill all the more than 7,000 men over the age of 15 in the city and build it as a Jingguan. The four counties of Liaodong, Daifang, Lelang and Xuansu are all flat. The collection is 40,000 and more than 300,000.
When Gongsun Yuan rebelled, the generals Lunzhi, Jia Fan and others were all killed because of bitter advice. Sima Yi ordered the tomb of Lunzhi and others to be sealed, showing his heirs, and releasing his uncle Gongsun Gong, who was imprisoned by Gongsun Yuan. He also ordered that "those who want to return to their old hometowns by Chinese are all allowed to go" and then the army is divided into divisions.
Gongsun Yuan's brother Gongsun Huang was originally a hostage of Gongsun Gong stationed in Luoyang at that time. Before Gongsun Yuan rebelled, Gongsun Huang wrote several times that this younger brother wanted to rebel, and asked the court to get rid of Gongsun Yuan first. After Gongsun Yuan really rebelled, Gongsun Huang, as Gongsun Yuan's direct blood relative, naturally had to be seated. But Cao Rong also thought that he had no intention of rebelling and could not bear to be beheaded in public, so he planned to kill him in prison. Tingwei Gao Rou even said that Gongsun Huang should not die. However, Cao Rong still ordered Gongsun Huang and his wife to be poisoned with gold dust wine, and then given coffins and buried in the house.
In September, Wuchang reported the appearance of a unicorn. There is also a red black gathered in front of the palace, and Sun Quan issued an edict to change the Yuan red black.
In September, Mrs. Bu died. Sun Quan issued an edict posthumously presenting her as the queen.
When Sun Quan was still a general, he married his niece Xu in Wu County. The biological mother of the crown prince Sun Deng was cheap, and Sun Quan ordered Xu to be Sun Deng's adoptive mother. But Xu is jealous by nature, so he is not favored. Sun Quan's favorite is Mrs. Bu, who gave birth to two princesses, Lu Ban and Lu Yu, for him. Therefore, after Sun Quan was called emperor, he wanted to establish the Bu clan as the queen. But the ministers have been asking for the Xu family to be the queen. It has been nearly 10 years since Sun Quan became emperor, and he has not been established. This time it is also a posthumous gift. And Xu stayed in Wu County, and finally died in Wu County.
Zhongshu Lang Lu Yi's work is to pawn the school officials and state and county clerks, this person has a harsh nature and harsh usage. Because of Sun Quan's trust, he gradually became a prestige, a clever slander, a trap of innocents, and a ruined minister, and the slender must be heard. The crown prince Sun Deng advised him several times, but Sun Quan did not listen. The ministers did not dare to speak, and they all looked at each other in fear. Lu Xun and Pan Jun wept and advised every time they talked about Lu Yi's chaos in front of Sun Quan, but Sun Quan still didn't listen.
Lü Yi framed Diao Jia, the former Jiangxia Taishou, for slandering the state government, and Sun Quan ordered Diao Jia to be imprisoned and tortured. At that time, the interrogators were afraid of Lu Yi, and said that Diao Jia had indeed slandered. Only Shizhong Shiyi insisted that Diao Jia did not say it, and finally acquitted Diao Jia.
Lu Yi also accused Prime Minister Gu Yong of his mistakes in front of Sun Quan, causing Sun Quan to blame Gu Yong angrily. Xie Qiu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, asked Lu Yi, "If Gu Yong is dismissed, who will succeed him as prime minister" Lu Yi did not answer. Xie Qiu continued: "It should be too often Pan Jun," Lu Yi replied after a long time, "It should be," Xie Qiu said, "But Pan Jun hates you bitterly, aren't you afraid that he will succeed him as prime minister today, and he will come to deal with you tomorrow?"
And Pan Jun once prepared to invite Lu Yi and other ministers, wanting to kill Lu Yi directly at the banquet, and then do things alone, so as to eliminate trouble for the country. It's a pity that this matter was known to Lu Yi, so Lu Yi said that he was sick and did not go to the banquet.
On Buqi, Chen Guyong, Lu Xun, and Pan Jun are the ministers of the society, and they should not be bullied by Lu Yi like this.
Lu Yi finally fell into the hands of Princess Sun Luyu's ex-husband Zhu Yi. At that time, Zhu Ju's 30,000 military salaries were taken away by a person named Wang Sui. But Lu Yibian thought that Zhu Ju was corrupt, and even put the officials in charge of this matter under Zhu Ju's account to death. Zhu mourned his innocent death, so he buried him, which was said by Lu Yi to be evidence and sued Sun Quan. In the face of Sun Quan's several reprimands, Zhu Ju actually didn't know where the military salary went, so he could only wait for the crime by drafting. A few days later, Liu Zhu, a military official, found out that the military salary was fraudulently received by Wang Sui. Sun Quan sighed with emotion, "Zhu Yi can be wronged like this, not to mention ordinary officials and ordinary people", ordered Lu Yi to be imprisoned for questioning, and rewarded Liu Zhu with one million.
Gu Yong came to the Tingwei Mansion to try the case, and Lu Yi met him in prison clothes. Gu Yong's calm trial was over, and he asked Lu Yi, "Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Yi kowtowed and was speechless. Regarding Shang Shulang's behavior of insulting Lu Yi, Gu Yongdao said, "The official has the right law, why is it so" There is a boss who wants to punish Lu Yi with a big opening or burning, so as to show the evil. The book made Kan Ze oppose "the world of Shengming, it is not appropriate to have this punishment again" Sun Quan obeyed, and ordered that only Lu Yi should be executed.
After Lü Yi was punished, Sun Quan sent Yuan Li, a Zhongshulang, to thank the generals and consult on current affairs and profits. After Yuan Li came back, he said that everyone didn't say anything, Sun Quan couldn't help but be unhappy, and issued an edict to ask Zhuge Jin, Bu Qi, Zhu Ran, Lu Dai and others.
In November, Cao Rong ordered a reward for meritorious deeds in the pacification of Liaodong. Sima Yi and the following have each increased their titles and titles. Sima Yizeng, a county in Kunyang.
On the 24th, Sikong Weizhen was transferred to Situ, and Sili Lieutenant Cui Lin was promoted to Sikong.
In December, Jiang Wan, the general of Shu Han, left Tun Hanzhong County.
In December, Cao Rong made Himihu the pro-Wei king.
On the 8th, Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming began to fall ill. On the 24th, Mrs. Liguo became the queen. Give each man in the world a second-class title. Widows, widows, loneliness and other socially disadvantaged groups.
Liu Fang and Sun Zi were Cao Cao's secretaries in the era of Duke Wei. After Cao Pi became emperor, he renamed the secretary province as Zhongshu Province, and appointed Liu Fang as the Zhongshu supervisor and Sun Zi as the Zhongshu order, in charge of secrets. After Cao Rong succeeded to the throne, the two were even more favored. All of them are named servants, doctors of Guanglu, and marquises. The responsibility of the heart. Whenever there was a major event or a meeting of courtiers, Cao Rong would often let Liu Fang and Sun Zi decide what was right and wrong, and choose to do it. Jiang Jishang, the Central Protector, advised him, but Cao Rong did not listen.
Cao Ei's two adopted sons at this time: Cao Fang, the king of Qi, was 7 years old, and Cao Xun, the king of Qin, was 8 years old. Emperor Wei Ming, who was seriously ill, had to consider an auxiliary candidate. He selected the general Cao Yu (Cao Caozi), the leading general Xiahou Xian (said to be the son of Xiahou Ba), the military guard general Cao Shuang (Cao Zhenzi), the tun cavalry captain Cao Zhao (Cao Xiuzi), and the cavalry general Qin Lang (Cao Cao's false son) 5 people, all of whom were relatives of the imperial family. If this can be done, there will be no change in Gaopingling 10 years later, and the regime will fall into the hands of the Sima clan. At this critical moment, it was Liu Fang and Sun Zi who played a key role.
Xiahou Xian and Cao Zhao have long been dissatisfied with the dictatorship of Liu Fang and Sun Zi. Liu Fang and Sun Zi naturally will not sit still, and want to break up the five-person auxiliary political alliance, and the two set their eyes on the good old man Cao Yu. Cao Yu, the king of Yan, was frugal and gentle, and at this time he was stubbornly resigning from the title of general on the grounds that he was unworthy of adults. Liu Fang and Sun Zi seized the opportunity to slander Cao Ei, asking Cao Ei to complete Cao Yu, replace Cao Yu with Cao Shuang as the general, and at the same time dismiss Xiahou Xian, Cao Zhao, and Qin Lang together. Cao Rong asked Cao Shuang, who was standing next to him at this time, "Are you competent?" Cao Shuang immediately sweated, almost right. Liu Fang kicked him before forcing Cao Shuang to say a sentence "Serve Sheji with death"
Liu Fang and Sun Zi said again, "If Your Majesty is not at ease, you can use Taiwei Sima Yi and Cao Shuang to jointly assist the government" Cao Rong agreed, and sent an envoy to urgently summon Sima Yi back to the court.
Cao Zhao knew about this matter, and hurriedly entered the palace, crying and admonishing. Cao Rong was moved again, and urgently sent another envoy to recover the envoy who had just summoned Sima Yi.
Cao Rong was so upset, he really angered Liu Fang and Sun Zi. Again, they went in and persuaded them. It may be that Cao Ei was really sick and confused at this time, and he listened to the words of the two again. However, the two didn't dare to slack off this time, and insisted on asking Cao Rong to write an edict. Cao Rong said, "I am seriously ill, I can't write" Liu Fang actually climbed onto the hospital bed, held Cao Rong's hand, and forcibly wrote the edict: Cao Yu and others will be dismissed from office and leave Beijing immediately. Cao Yu, Xiahou Xian, Cao Zhao, and Qin Lang returned to the first place in this way.
On the 27th, Cao Shuang was appointed general. Sun Li was appointed as the general Changshi and assisted Cao Shuang.
At this time, Sima Yi had returned to Ji County, Hanoi County, and took Cao Ei's edict to summon him. However, Sima Yi received five edicts in a row on the 3rd, including the edict that asked him not to return to Luoyang and return directly to Chang'an Town to guard the pass; There was also an edict to keep him in place; There was also an edict urgently summoning him to the court. Sima Yi immediately decided that there must have been a major change in Luoyang, the capital division, and he traveled more than 400 miles day and night, and finally rushed back and saw the last face of Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming.
January 1, 239 (This is the result of the first change of the calendar of Cao Rongjing.) According to the normal calendar, this day should be December 1, 238 in the lunar calendar) Sima Yi entered the Jiafu Hall to lie down and meet him. Cao Rong clasped Sima Yi's hand and said, "I keep this last breath, just to see you, to entrust you with the future, you have to assist Cao Shuang well with the new monarch," and then let Cao Fang, the king of Qi, Cao Xun, and Sima Yi meet. Pointing at Cao Fang, he said, "This is Xinjun." You see clearly, don't be mistaken" Finally, he ordered Cao Fang to step forward and hug Sima Yi's neck to show affection. Sima Yi was stunned.
On the same day, Cao Fang, the 8-year-old king of Qi, was made the crown prince. Then Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming died. Cao Fang officially succeeded to the throne. Amnesty. Honored Empress Guo as the Empress Dowager. Add Cao Shuang and Sima Yi to serve in the middle of the service, fake Jieyue, supervise the Chinese and foreign armies, and record Shangshu. Previously, many palace battles ordered by Cao Rong were all abandoned in the name of the edict. Officials, slaves and maids over the age of 60 are all exempted from being good people.
In February, the Western Regions retranslated and offered fire raccoon cloth. Cao Shuang and Sima Yi were edicted to take the test to show the ministers.
Cao Shuang and Sima Yi each led 3,000 troops and took turns to stay in the guard hall. Cao Shuang is young and shallow, and Sima Yi is like a father. Consult on everything, and dare not do it alone.
Bi Rail, Deng Yang, Li Sheng, He Yan, and Ding Mi are all famous, but they tend to be inflammatory. During Cao Rong's reign, he hated his flashiness, and he didn't use it. These five people were cast under Cao Shuang's door and were reused. They persuaded Cao Shuang that power should not be shared with others. Ding Mi suggested that Cao Shuang, in the name of the Son of Heaven, crown Sima Yi as the Taifu above the Three Princes, respect him by name, and order Shangshu to do things inside, and only report to the general Cao Shuang. Cao Shuang immediately agreed. On February 21, Sima Yi was promoted to Taifu. Several of Cao Shuang's younger brothers were also crowned officials: Cao Xi was the leader of the army, Cao Xun was the general of Wuwei, and Cao Yan was the regular attendant of the scattered cavalry. The rest of the brothers are all servants, in and out of the forbidden place, and they are favored by Mo Sheng. Then, Cao Shuang demoted Lu Yu, the secretary of the ministry, to a servant, and later wanted to change Lu Yu to the court lieutenant, and the ministers discussed a lot, and Cao Shuang finally changed Lu Yu to Guangluxun at the suggestion of Bi Rail. And Feng He Yan is the secretary of the ministry. Deng Yang and Ding Mi are still scholars. Bi Liang is the lieutenant of the school. Li Sheng is Henan Yin. The Yellow Gate squire Fu Yan warned Cao Xi, "He Yan, these people are not good people, and I ask the general not to reuse them", and Fu Yan was dismissed. Sun Li, who Cao Rong arranged to assist Cao Shuang before his death, was also driven away by Cao Shuang and served as the assassin of Yangzhou.
In March, General Zhengdong was promoted to the rank of lieutenant.
In April, Sun Quan sent Yang Wei, Zheng Guan, Sun Yi and others to lead troops to attack Cao Wei's Liaodong defenders Zhang Zhi and Gao Xi, and captured the people and returned.
