Later generations rumored that Cao Rui took Sima Yi and Cao Shuang as auxiliary ministers, but in fact this was not Cao Rui's initial decision, Cao Rui himself was also a little jealous of Sima Yi earlier, and Cao Rui let Sima Yi assist him for some reason because he was fooled.

[Decision on the Choice of Auxiliary Minister]

Earlier, Cao Rui appointed Cao Yu (Cao Cao's son), the king of Yan, as the general after he became seriously ill, and prepared to take him as the leader, with him and the leading general Xiahou Xian, the Wuwei general Cao Shuang (Cao Zhen's son), the tun cavalry captain Cao Zhao (Cao Xiu's son), and the Xiaocai general Qin Lang (Cao Cao's stepson) and other joint auxiliaries, which means that in fact, Sima Yi and Cao Rui were not prepared to let him continue to serve as the auxiliary minister.

But then things changed, because of the obstruction of Liu Fang and Sun Zi, Cao Rui was removed from the post of General Cao Yu, and replaced by Cao Shuang, the general of Wuwei, and Cao Shuang alone was not enough, so the two recommended Sima Yi, so that Cao Shuang and Sima Yi jointly assisted the government.

Originally, when Cao Cao was still the Duke of Wei, he appointed Zanling Liu Fang and Sun Zi as the secretary at the same time. Emperor Wen ascended the throne, renamed the secretary Zhongshu, appointed Liu Fang as the Zhongshu supervisor, and Sun Zi as the Zhongshu Ling, and the two were in charge of secrets. Emperor Ming ascended the throne, and the two were especially favored and trusted, and they were both appointed as Shizhong and Guanglu doctors, and were named the marquis of the county. At this time, Emperor Ming personally handled daily government affairs, repeatedly sent troops, and the central planning was in charge of the two of them; Whenever there is a major national event, the courtiers gather for a meeting, and often let them decide right and wrong, and choose to act. These two people had too much power at that time, and Jiang Ji, the central protector, gave advice on this, but Cao Rui did not listen.

According to the record of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Liu Fang", Cao Yu was humble and kind at that time, and he insisted on resigning with sincerity. Emperor Ming Cao Rui summoned Liu Fang and Sun Zi, and when they arrived in the bedroom, Emperor Ming asked, "Is this how King Yan behaves in the world?" Liu Fang and Sun Zi replied: "King Yan is really because he knows that he can't take on such a big responsibility." Emperor Ming said: "Can Cao Shuang replace Cao Yu?" Liu Fang and Sun Zi immediately expressed their approval, and tried their best to state that the Taiwei Sima Xuan King should be recalled quickly to maintain the protection of the imperial family. Emperor Ming accepted their advice and immediately gave Liu a special yellow piece of paper for him to write the edict. After Liu Fang and Sun Zi went out, Emperor Ming's mind changed again, and he issued an edict to stop King Xuan from letting him come. After a while, he summoned Liu Fang and Sun Zi and said: "I want to recall the Taiwei myself, but Cao Shuang and others asked me to stop him, which almost ruined my big thing!" Ordering them to write the edict again, Emperor Ming alone summoned Cao Shuang to accept the edict order with Liu Fang and Sun Zi, and finally removed Cao Yu, Xiahou Xian, Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and others from their official positions.

However, there are differences in the records of this matter in the "Shiyu" and the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Han Dynasty". According to the records of "The Words of the World", let go, seniority and long-term canonization, dedication, and injustice. There is a chicken perch tree in the hall, and the two of them said: "This is also a long time, how many can it be repeated?" "Refers to release, capital. Let go, fear, is to persuade the emperor to summon the king. The emperor made an edict and ordered the envoy to ward off evil spirits to grant the king Xuan. King Xuan is in Ji, offering the first edict to return to Chang'an in the west of the Guanxi, to ward off evil spirits again, King Xuan suspected that there was a change, called to ward off evil spirits, and rode to Beijing by chasing the front car. The emperor asked Fang and Zi: "Who can be the opponent of the Taiwei?" Fang said: "Cao Shuang." The emperor said: "Is it worth it?" "It's cool on the left and right, and sweating can't be right. Tiptoeing on his feet, his ears said: "The minister will serve the society with death." "Cao Zhaodi was compiled as the general Sima, and King Yan was quite out of control. Zhao out, Su Jian, exclaimed: "I am uneasy, how can I know that the clouds are out together?" It should be returned. "It's twilight, release, Zixuan edict palace gate, no reinstatement of the internal Zhao, etc., strike the king of Yan. Zhao tomorrow to the door, not to enter, fear, to extend the lieutenant, in order to avoid misconduct. The emperor said: "I have been sent out." "Sacrifice the runny nose and avoid it.

According to the records of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Han Jin Dynasty, the emperor took Yan Wangyu as the general, and made the leading general Xiahou Xian, the general of Wuwei Cao Shuang, the captain of the Tun cavalry Cao Zhao, and the general Qin Lang of the cavalry to assist the government. Liu Fang, the superintendent of the book, and Sun Zijiu were favored by the autocracy, and they were not good at Lang and others, and they were afraid of the consequences, and Yu was often on the emperor's side, so he did not have anything to say. Jiashen, the emperor's anger is slight, Yuxia Palace called Cao Zhao to discuss, but he did not return it, and the emperor was less idle, but Cao Shuang was alone. Let it go, call for capital and conspiracy. Zi said: "Don't move. Fang said: "All into the wok, why not?" Nai Tu saw the emperor and wept and said: "Your Majesty is weak, if you don't say anything, who will the world pay?" The emperor said: "Don't you hear about Yan Wangye? He said: "Your Majesty has forgotten the edict of the first emperor, and the vassal king is not allowed to assist the government." And His Majesty was ill, and Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and others talked and played with talented people who served the sick. King Yan embraced the south of the army, and did not listen to the ministers and waited, which was to erect Diao and Zhao Gaoye. Now the crown prince is young and weak, unable to govern, there are ** people outside, and there are people who are grudging inside. The business of the ancestors, pay two or three mortals, sleep for a few days, the outside and the inside are separated, and the society is in danger, and they don't know, so this minister is sad. The emperor had to speak, and said angrily: "Who can be the one who can do it? "Release, capital is to lift cool Daiyu, and white" should be Zhao Sima Xuan Wang Xiang Xiang, the emperor followed. Release, capital out, Cao Zhao entered, wept and stubbornly admonished, and the emperor made Zhao stop. Zhao out of the house, release, capital tends to go, repeat the emperor, the emperor from his words. He said: "It should be an edict." The emperor said, "I'm sleepy, I can't." "Put it on the throne, the emperor forced it, and then he came out, and said: "There is an edict to exempt Yan Wangyu and other officials, and they must not stop in the province." So Yu, Zhao, Xian, Lang Xiang and wept and returned.

At the beginning, Cao Rui had a good relationship with Cao Yu, the king of Yan, because he was young, so he was ready to take him as the general, and Cao's cronies Xiahou Xian, Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao, and Qin Lang were in charge of the government. However, this touched the interests of the central ministers Liu Fang, Sun Zi and others, in order to prevent political opponents from coming to power, they took the opportunity to sabotage the matter, only recommended Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, Cao Yu and others were caught off guard and inferior, and finally lost the opportunity to turn the tables.

In each material, the specific details are not the same, some say that Liu Fang and Sun Zi directly attacked Cao Yu, and some say that the two fell into the well while Cao Yu was retreating, but the general content is barely consistent.

【The Fallen Cao Yu】

Cao Yu was born to Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan, the siblings of Cao Chong and Cao Ju, the father of Emperor Cao Huan of Wei Yuan, and married Zhang Lu in history. During the Cao Cao period, Cao Yu was first the marquis of the township, and then changed the title of the marquis of Luyang. During the Cao Rui period, Cao Yu was named the king of Yan.

Cao Yu, as a vassal king, was able to serve as a general earlier, and Cao Rui has a lot to do with him, because Cao Rui himself has no descendants, so the throne has inevitably fallen into the sidelines, so Cao Rui doesn't care much about Cao Yu's status as a vassal king, for him, it's the Cao family anyway.

In history, Cao Yu resigned as a general at the beginning, to be honest, the possibility of making a gesture is higher, after all, Cao Yu had no prestige and political achievements before, and he was still a vassal king, so he needed Cao Rui's recognition to increase his qualifications, but he didn't expect that this would give his political opponents a chance.
