Section 1 My Father and Mother (1)
First of all, I declare that I love my father and mother very much.
Secondly, I want to make an objective, fair and appropriate evaluation of my father and mother.
My overall assessment of my father is two words: shameless.
But I must admit that I love his shamelessness.
Everything we have in our Jia family, everything I have, comes from his shamelessness. Without his shamelessness, all the glory and wealth of our Jia family might not exist, and it would be impossible for me to climb to the position of the crown princess.
If my grandfather used his bravery and loyalty to elevate the Jia family from a commoner to a nobleman, my father used treacherous power to elevate the family from an ordinary nobleman to a super wealthy family, and turned the 600 households into 8,000 households when my grandfather was here. This is a staggering number, because even the direct prince's food estates generally do not exceed 10,000 households.
Because of this, I, a mediocre-looking woman, became the crown princess's chosen candidate, and in the final elimination battle, relying on my father's wrist, I defeated a supposedly beautiful opponent - Wei Jin, the little aunt of the world-famous beautiful man Wei Jue, and sat on the throne of the crown princess.
If a person owes everything to his father's shamelessness, which is the key to the true prominence of the family, the determining cause, the first driving force, what position does she have to despise this shamelessness?
In my opinion, despising this shamelessness is the real shamelessness. People can't be shameless to this point.
When I say this, I only mean that I am a good daughter of my father, but I am by no means a good granddaughter of my grandfather. If my grandfather had known about it, he would have jumped up and killed our father and daughter. Of course, his father will be the first to kill, and then I am afraid that there will be no me at all.
My grandfather was a loyal minister of Cao Wei, but my father was a traitor and traitor of Cao Wei, because he was the confidant of the general Sima Zhao, the actual ruler of Cao Wei's regime at that time, and was the person Sima Zhao relied on and trusted the most. It is said that many of Sima Zhao's bad ideas were brought up by him, and many unseemly deeds were also sent to him, and the outside world pointed out that my father was the most insidious and cunning "eagle dog" raised by Sima Zhao.
As early as the beginning of Sima Zhao's succession to his father Sima Yi's position as a general, he already had the intention of abolishing the puppet emperor and standing on his own. It's just that I didn't dare to act rashly, but first sent my father around to investigate, collect information from all sides, and see how public opinion is turning.
My father first investigated the ministers in the imperial court, and then offered advice to Sima Zhao, asking him to send people to comfort the "Four Expeditions", that is, to comfort the four generals set up by Wei in the four sides of the border, namely the eastern, western, southern, and northern expeditions.
The father went to Huainan by himself. When talking about current affairs with General Zhuge of Zhengnan, he deliberately pretended to be very casual and asked: "Everyone in the world wishes to Zen Dynasty, what does the general think?" ”
When Zhuge Dan heard this, he became angry on the spot and said to my father sharply: "Aren't you Jia Kui's son? Your father was a loyal servant! Both of you father and son have received great favor from Wei Jun, how can you think of giving up Sheji to others? To tell you the truth, if anyone dares to fight this idea, I will fight with him! ”
After his father returned, he reported to Sima Zhao: "Zhuge Dan has already rebelled, and he must be removed from his military post and transferred back to Beijing." Sima Zhao was a little hesitant, afraid that if he couldn't adjust Zhuge Dan, he would be forced to rebel. The father also said, "Early will cause a small disaster, and a late will cause a big disaster!" Sima Zhao listened, then made up his mind, and asked Emperor Cao Chao of Wei to issue an edict, worship Zhuge as a commonplace, and tell him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and hand over the military talisman to Yangzhou Assassin Shi Lelin.
After Zhuge Dan received the edict, he really raised troops to resist and asked for help from the ministers of Eastern Wu. Sima Zhao personally supervised the 260,000 southern expedition, and his father also went with him.
Zhuge Dan mobilized more than 100,000 troops to defend Shouchun, and Dongwu also sent 30,000 troops to help in the battle. The two sides fought several battles, but the Wei soldiers could not gain the upper hand.
My father also said to Sima Zhao: "The Chu soldiers are light and sharp, good at attacking but not good at defending, if we besiege the city with deep ditches and high fortifications, we can overcome without a fight." ”
Sima Zhao adopted my father's advice and besieged Zhuge in Shouchun City. The father used a plan to plot against Zhuge Dan internally, so that Zhuge Dan would face fierce infighting while being trapped in the lonely city.
After two months of siege, the Wei soldiers easily broke through Shouchun City and killed Zhuge Dan.
Because of his great contribution in this "counterinsurgency", his father was promoted to the Marquis of Xuanyang Township, increased the number of thousands of households, and moved the official to the court. is also in charge of the world's prisons, and has a pivotal position in the imperial court.
Although Sima Zhao's plan to publicly usurp the throne was forced to be postponed, the Cao Wei Dynasty at this time basically became an empty shell and was completely hollowed out by the Sima family. The contradictions between the two families continued to accumulate and escalate, and finally broke out in the first year of Jing Yuan, the first year of Emperor Cao Chao of Wei.
In the summer of that year, Cao Chao once again quarreled with Sima Zhao in the early dynasty, and fell behind in the obvious downfall of the Manchu dynasty's civil and military affairs.
After retreating angrily, the more Cao Chao thought about it, the more angry he became. Because he was an emperor, he was actually ridiculed by his own courtiers, and the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, either helping Sima Zhao or standing aside and pretending to be an idiot.
And every previous dispute was like this, all of which ended in Sima Zhao's victory and his own defeat. He became a joke in the court, an authentic puppet emperor. Cao Chao, who is twenty years old, is the age of blood and strength, how can he stand this humiliation?
At the same time, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Because his cousin, the Wei Emperor Cao Fang who preceded him, was deposed by Sima Zhao's elder brother Sima Shi, he feared that he would one day suffer the same fate.
If the Cao brothers were deposed by the Sima brothers in turn, wouldn't it be "famous in the annals of history" and laugh at the world?
So the young and vigorous emperor summoned a group of ministers whom he thought were very loyal, such as Wang Shen of Shizhong, Wang Jing of Shangshu, Wang Ye of Sancai, and others, and said to them angrily: "Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by. I can't sit here and be humiliated and wait for dethronement. I have decided to go to him with Qing and the others today! ”
Wang Jing is still loyal, and he persuaded him bitterly, asking the emperor to forbear it for the time being. Wang Shen and Wang Ye only pretended to echo a few words, and then ran to Sima Zhao's house to cheer and tell them.
Sima Zhao just smiled disdainfully when he heard this, thinking that I was already extraordinarily kind to keep you as a puppet, but you are impatient, then I will fulfill you! I immediately ordered my father to go down and deploy, ready to move at any time.
A few days later, the opportunity came. My father received a tip: Cao Chao left the palace with hundreds of palace guards and eunuchs.
My father immediately led thousands of forbidden troops to rush up and stopped the emperor's luan at the end of Tongque Street.
Cao Chao saw that Luan was surrounded, and stood on the seat in a panic and slashed with his sword. When the forbidden army saw the emperor, they were still a little cowering, and they didn't dare to fight the emperor, so they retreated.
Seeing that the emperor's army was about to fight a bloody road, Cheng Ji, the vanguard of the forbidden army, was at a loss, and turned back to my father and asked, "The situation is not good, what should I do?" My father replied, "Sima Gong's kindness to you is for today's sake." What to do now, do you still need to ask me? ”
Cheng Ji is a rough man, simple-minded and impulsive, and when he heard this, he immediately drew a knife and stabbed Cao Chao.
Cao Chao has always been pampered, where is Chengji's opponent? With only one blow, he fell under the car, and Cheng Ji made up for it with another knife and was killed immediately.
When Cao Chao saw that the emperor was dead, he dispersed in a hurry, and there was no one who even closed the emperor's eyes, so he was allowed to fall on Tongque Street without blinking his eyes.
