Cao Shuang's actions eventually aroused public anger, and Sima Yi also retreated into advance, saying that he was sick and retired, in order to lower Cao Shuang's vigilance and seek an opportunity to hit Cao Shuang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

[The ministers are dissatisfied]

At that time, the power of Liu Jing, the king of the Xiongnu, was getting stronger, and the Xianbei people repeatedly violated the border, so the imperial court sent Sun Li to assassinate the history of the state, add the general Zhenwu, hold the festival, and was named the general of the Huns. After Sun Li was instructed, he went to see Sima Yi, his face was angry, and he didn't say a word. Seeing this, Sima Yi asked: "You have become a state assassin, are you dissatisfied?" Or are you still angry about the demarcation of the land? Now that you're about to say goodbye, why are you so unhappy? Sun Li said, "How could you say such a thing! Although I am not a virtuous person, how can I care about these official matters and old grudges? I originally thought that Ming Gong would be able to follow the deeds of Yi Yin and Lu Wang, and do a good job of assisting the Wei family, not only to repay Emperor Ming's entrustment, but also to establish your own eternal merits. Nowadays, the society is very unstable, and the world is still very chaotic, which is the real reason why I feel unhappy now! "Wept and wept. After Sima Yi heard Sun Li's confession, he said: "Don't cry, just put up with the current situation for the time being." (The original text is "Stop, can't bear it.") ”）

After seeing what Cao Shuang did, Jiang Ji, the fourth generation of Cao Wei's old minister, was sparse: "Today, Wu and Shu have not been destroyed, and the soldiers have been fighting abroad for decades, both men and women are complaining, and the people are poor. The law of the country, only the ability to help the world to compile and revise the outline of the law will flow to future generations, how can it be changed by mediocre people? In the end, it will not only not help the country to govern, but also harm the people. It is hoped that the civil and military generals will fulfill their duties, so that the country can be peaceful and auspicious. However, Cao Shuang's group was in chaos, so Jiang Ji secretly plotted with Sima Yi and others who were obscure in Taoguang to overthrow Cao Shuang.

At that time, someone made up a ballad and said: "He, Deng, Ding, chaos in the capital." ”

【Taoguang Yanghui】

In the eighth year of Zhengshi (247), after Cao Shuang imprisoned Empress Dowager Guo, Sima Yi understood that Cao Shuang had become bigger, and government affairs were basically dictatorial by Cao Shuang, and it was difficult for him to stop him directly, so he retreated into advance, went home from illness, and sought a chance to win.

In the ninth year of Zhengshi (248), Li Sheng, a minister of Cao Shuang's faction, served as the assassin of Jingzhou, and resigned to Sima Yi before leaving to test Sima Yi.

According to the "Biography of the Late Wei Dynasty", Shuang waited for the victory to declare the king and served Yan. King Xuan saw the victory, won from Chen without his merits, Heng Montene, when the state, bowed to the resignation, did not understand the grace, and was introduced. King Xuan ordered two maids to serve on the side, holding their clothes, and their clothes fell; Repeating the fingers and mouth, saying that he was thirsty for drink, the maid entered the porridge, and King Xuan drank the porridge with a cup, and the porridge flowed out and touched the chest. Shengran was stunned, wept for it, and said King Xuan: "The lord is still young today, and the world depends on Ming Gong." However, the public sentiment is that the old wind of the Ming Gongfang is raging, what does it mean to respect the body! Xuan Wang Xu said more leniently, only then did he make the breath belong, and said: "Old and sick, he died on the eve of death." Jun should bend and merge the state, and the state is close to Hu, so good as to do it, I am afraid that we will never see each other again, how! Sheng said: "When you return to this state, you should not merge with the state." King Xuan is a dim man, saying: "Jun Fang went to the state and worked hard to love himself!" "It's like a ridiculous word. Sheng Fu said: "When Jingzhou is not merged, it is not a state." "King Xuan is a person who is slightly enlightened, and he says: "Yi is old, ignorant of his intentions, and does not understand the words of the king." Now it is also the history of the state, Shengde is heroic, and it is good to make meritorious deeds. Now when you say goodbye to you, you will not be able to change your strength in the future, because you want to be self-reliant, set up a thin master, and say goodbye to life and death. The Lingshi and Zhao brothers are friends, and they can't give up each other, and they are the hearts of the people. "Choked with runny nose. Sheng also sighed and replied: "If you are a teacher, you must wait for your fate." Sheng resigned, met with Shuang and others, and said: "Taifu's language is wrong, his mouth is not a cup, and the guide is north." Yunwu regarded it as a merger state, and I replied that it should be Jingzhou, not a merger state. Slowly and slowly, when there are people who know, they know that they are still Jingzhou ears. and want to set up the master to send it. Don't give it up, you should wait for it. Even more Xiang Shuang and other weeping clouds: "Taifu's suffering cannot be recovered, which is sad." ”

This is a very critical test in history, when Cao Shuang has controlled the Empress Dowager Guo and the young emperor Cao Fang, only Sima Yi and him are both auxiliary ministers among the ministers of the court, and the merit is high and powerful, Cao Shuang wants to solve Sima Yi's problem in the future, and Sima Yi said that although he has withdrawn from the court on the surface, there is still a great threat, Cao Shuang can't turn a blind eye, so there is Li Sheng to test Sima Yi.

As a result, Cao Shuang and others were played by the treacherous and cunning Sima Yi, they were deceived by Sima Yi's acting skills, thinking that Sima Yi was terminally ill and could not be on the council, Cao Shuang and others not only stopped guarding Sima Yi, but also became more arrogant after losing Sima Yi's obstacle in their hearts. And Sima Yi pretended to be sick on the surface, but in fact he was secretly arranging, preparing to eliminate Cao Shuang's forces.

According to the "Book of Jin": "Shuang and Yan are the emperor's illness, so they have the heart of no king, and conspire with Dang to endanger the society, and the period will be long." It means that Cao Shuang and He Yan thought that Emperor Xuan was seriously ill, so they had the heart to usurp the throne, and conspired with Zhang Dang to try to subvert Sheji, and the date had been agreed.

Personally, I think this record in the "Book of Jin" is a bit inappropriate, saying that after Sima Yi was seriously ill, Cao Shuang and others conspired to usurp the throne, and even determined the time, which is indeed possible, but to say that after Sima Yi was sick, Cao Shuang and others had the heart to rebel, this is a joke. You must know that Cao Shuang had already imprisoned the Empress Dowager Guo before Sima Yi retreated from illness, if Cao Shuang had no intention of rebelling at that time, he would be fine unless his head had a convulsion, and he would have been locked up as the Empress Dowager. This kind of writing in the "Book of Jin" will cause some people to misunderstand, so that everyone may think that it is because Sima Yi deliberately retreated to advance, lured Cao Shuang to rebel, and then replaced the Wei Dynasty to stand on his own.

However, in history, Cao Shuang's premeditated rebellion really can't blame Sima Yi, when Cao Shuang crusaded against Shu Han, Sima Yi stopped it, and Sima Yi dissuaded Cao Shuang when he imprisoned Empress Dowager Guo, not that Sima Yi didn't stop it, but Cao Shuang himself had to die. When Cao Shuang imprisoned the Empress Dowager Guo, Sima Yi was no longer able to stop Cao Shuang directly, after all, the military power and political power were in Cao Shuang's hands at that time, Sima Yi did not retreat, did not retreat, did not retreat, Cao Shuang was the next to clean up, at this time Cao Shuang had begun to follow the emperor's example, and even had already started to act against the inner palace, Cao Shuang was going to rebel by himself, and the pot could not be thrown casually.

In history, Li Sheng probably visited Sima Yi at the end of the ninth year of Zhengshi (248), and after learning that Sima Yi was no longer a director, Cao Shuang and others should have stepped up the time to make a rebellion, and Sima Yi and others were also secretly planning to do it, there is no doubt that Cao Shuang's faction, which held the Son of Heaven Cao Fang hostage and imprisoned the Empress Dowager Guo, was Cao Wei's traitor, although Cao Shuang's surname was Cao, but this was not a reason for him to prepare for rebellion.

In the spring of the following year (249), the three brothers Cao Fang and Cao Shuang went to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship Emperor Wei Ming, and Sima Yi took the opportunity to launch a mutiny in Luoyang.
