After Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang, Cao Wei's power officially fell into the hands of the foreign surname, and the descendants of the Cao family failed to regain power after that, so at this time Cao Wei can be said to have been effectively destroyed, leaving only the puppet monarch still above the court.

At this time, there were only about 30 years before Cao Cao's death.

[Coup d'état]

In history, Sima Yi was able to control the power of the imperial court, and it can only be said that Cao Shuang sent out the Cao family's country, but the incompetent Cao Fang could not leave his own country.

Before Cao Rui's death, he handed over Cao Wei's country to his young adopted son Cao Fang, and entrusted the general Cao Zhen and the imperial lieutenant Sima Yi to assist Cao Fang, all three of whom had the most crucial influence on Cao Wei's power.

In the last years, Cao Fang has grown up, when Cao Shuang imprisoned the Empress Dowager Guo, the young emperor Cao Fang was already sixteen years old, and at the time of the coup d'état in Gaopingling, Cao Fang was already eighteen years old, and he could no longer be regarded as a child, and the age of the crown ceremony was generally twenty years old, which means that Cao Fang could be pro-government in two years. This is also the reason why Cao Shuang was so anxious to start later.

If it weren't for Cao Shuang's preparation for rebellion, normally Cao Fang would be in power two or three years later, when the power was in the hands of Cao Shuang and others, Sima Yi had no power and no righteousness that could not be stopped, and Sima Yi himself was actually very loyal to Cao Wei, if it wasn't for Cao Shuang to rebel, Sima Yi would not have launched a coup d'état.

Cao Shuang's chaotic government and rebellion are also a prerequisite for Sima Yi to get the support of everyone to launch a coup d'état, it can be said that Cao Shuang forced everyone else to Sima Yi's side, and it was Cao Shuang who forced Sima Yi to launch a coup d'état.

In history, after Cao Shuang took power, he became more and more unscrupulous, not only did not listen to the advice to launch a war against Shu, which led to the defeat of the army, and then he also imprisoned the queen mother without authorization, and disordered the harem, regardless of the majesty of the imperial family, and finally united with the eunuch Zhang Dang and others in the palace to prepare for rebellion. Cao Shuang's actions have completely broken the bottom line of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but Cao Shuang has no choice but to seize the military and political power, so Jiang Ji and others can only unite around Sima Yi and plot to fight Cao Shuang.

At that time, Jiang Ji and the others didn't know the possible impact of helping Sima Yi fight Cao Shuang? How is it possible, Jiang Ji is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, but does Jiang Ji have a choice, Cao Shuang's rebellion is already close at hand, even if the dictatorship of the Sima family is a matter of the future, at that time, in order to keep Cao Wei, there is only one way to help Sima Yi.

And under normal circumstances, no one would choose to launch a coup d'état, you must know that the coup is not a coup, if Sima Yi and others fail to do well, they will be wiped out of the Nine Clans, and if Cao Shuang does not compromise at that time, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Cao Wei, in case Cao Shuang listens to Hengfan's advice and runs to Xuchang and Luoyang to open a film, Shu Han and Sun Wu can laugh and blossom, and Cao Wei will directly perish because of it.

If it weren't for Cao Shuang's rebellion, if it weren't for Sima Yi and others who really had no way out, who would tie their heads to their waists and carry out a coup d'état, to put it bluntly, Cao Shuang forced it.

After talking about Cao Shuang, let's take a look at the young emperor Cao Fang, Cao Fang still couldn't get rid of the fate of the puppet after the coup d'état in Gaopingling, but he changed from Cao Shuang's puppet to Sima's puppet, why? Because Cao Fang herself is too incompetent.

Cao Fang did one thing after coming to power, to be a puppet, even if Cao Shuang had to replace him at that time, Cao Fang still didn't make any moves, even if you are the emperor, you can't expect pies to fall from the sky, so after the Sima family took power, don't you Cao Fang like to be a puppet, continue to be a puppet.

[Sima Yi is in power]

After Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang in history, he killed not only Cao Shuang and others, but the entire Cao family. Because before Cao Rui's death, he temporarily changed the candidates for auxiliary ministers, so only Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were left as auxiliaries, and only Cao Shuang was a member of the Cao clan, so Cao Shuang gathered a lot of Cao relatives around him, and most of the ministers of the Cao clan in the court at that time were also Cao Shuang's faction, so after Cao Shuang fell, many people were implicated, and the Cao family also suffered a fatal blow, and the core characters were swept away, which is why after the Gao Pingling Incident, Cao Wei actually perished, because not only the Sima clan took the opportunity to take power, The Cao clan also lost its power because of this, and Cao Wei was no longer worthy of his name.

At that time, Xiahou Ba, the protector of Shu stationed in Yongzhou, was related to Cao Shuang, and at the same time, as the nephew of Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengxi, was recruited into Luoyang, so he was afraid that he would be persecuted by the Sima clan; At the same time, Guo Huai, who was at odds with him, became the general of Zhengxi, which made him very uneasy, so he fled to Shu Han.

After the coup d'état of Gao Pingling, the young emperor Cao Fang granted amnesty to the world, and after the death of Taiwei Jiang Ji, the imperial court named Sikong Wang Ling as Taiwei, and soon named Sili Xiaoxiao Lieutenant Sun Li as Sikong. In May of the second year of Jiaping (250), Guo Huai, the general of the expedition to the west, was appointed as the general of the chariot cavalry. In October, Sun Zi was named a hussar general.

In the year of the coup, Cao Fang changed the name of the year to the first year of Jiaping (249), and Cao Wei entered the era when the Sima clan was in power. Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi was awarded the title of Marquis of Changping Township and the post of General of Jiawei, and the second son Sima Zhao increased the number of feudal households by 1,000 households because of his merits, and was soon promoted to the general of Anxi, holding the festival, and garrisoning Guanzhong. Sima Yi's younger brother Sima Fu also entered the county marquis of Jue Changshe after Cao Shuang's death, and was added to the service. Later, Sima Fu was also promoted to Sikong and replaced Wang Ling as a lieutenant.

In February of the first year of Jiaping (249), the Son of Heaven appointed Sima Yi as the prime minister, and added Fanchang, Yanling, Xinji, and Father City in Yingchuan, and even sealed a total of eight counties and 20,000 households. Sima Yi resigned from the official post of prime minister. In the winter of December, the Son of Heaven decided to add a gift of nine tins to Sima Yi, and he did not bow down during the meeting. Sima Yi resigned from Jiuxili. In the first month of the spring of the following year, the Son of Heaven ordered Sima Yi to build a temple in Luoyang, set up a long history of the left and right, increased the number of Peng's subordinates and ten people, recommended one person each of Peng's subordinates to serve as the imperial history and Xiucai, increased the number of officials and horses by 100, and advocated 14 people. He also named Sima Yi's son Sima Wei as the Marquis of Pingle Pavilion, and Sima Lun as the Marquis of Anle Pavilion. At that time, even if Sima Yi could not enter the palace due to illness, every time there was a major event, Cao Fang, the son of heaven, had to go to the palace in person to inquire.

According to Kong Yan's "Spring and Autumn Period of the Han and Wei Dynasties", it is recorded that the edict made Taichang Wang Su ordered Taifu to be the prime minister, increase the number of households, and the ministers could not be named, such as the story of Han Huoguang. Taifu wrote a letter and said: "The ministers are taken care of, they are deeply responsible, relying on the power of heaven, destroying the evil and the traitor, atoning for the sins is fortunate, and the merit is insufficient." and the officials of the three dukes, made by the holy king, and performed the ceremony. As for the prime minister, it started with Qin Zheng. Because of this, Han's has not changed and changed. Today, the officials of the three dukes are prepared, and they are favored by the ministers, violating the first canon, reforming the scriptures of the Shengming, and attacking the Qin and Han dynasties. "On the book more than 10 years, the edict is allowed, and the gift of nine tins is added. Taifu also said: "Taizu has great merit, the Han family is respectful, so the addition of nine tin, this is a strange thing in the past dynasties, not the descendants of the monarchs and ministers to get the discussion." "I didn't accept it.

At this time, Cao Wei had already changed his surname to Sima.
