Why did the Cao Wei regime belong to Sima? Is it conspiracy or helplessness?

Sima Yi's avoidance made Cao Shuang more arrogant and unscrupulous. He appointed his relatives and brothers. "They are all liehou attendants, and no entry or exit is allowed." And I am eating and drinking clothes, like royalty; Rich family, full of wives and concubines, arrogant and extravagant. Not only that, he even forged an imperial edict for fun, saying that "fifty-seven talents were sent to Taiwan to make the Jieyu teaching of the first emperor a geisha", and Cao Ba, together with officials, teachers, advocates and well-bred children, was regarded as his own private geisha music, "taking instrumental music, forbidding the armory, building caves and dredging the circumference", including Yanhe and others. Because the private bulletin was not in harmony with Yu, he made an excuse and ordered people to receive Lu Yu's seal first, and then he heard about the imperial court. So acting first and acting later, so disrespectful, made the DPRK minister very dissatisfied. Even Cao Xi, Cao Shuang's younger brother, felt that his brother's behavior had gone too far. "I thought I was worried, so I stopped it." However, Cao Shuang wouldn't listen. Not only did he not listen, but he was persuaded by others to attack Shu in order to establish meritorious service. In the first five years (AD 244), Cao Shuang marched westward to Chang 'an, recruiting 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, and cut Shu on a large scale, regardless of the boiling public resentment. Sima Yi, who confronted Shu Han many times, thought that Cao Cao had been defeated in Hanzhong, but now Shu Han has occupied a dangerous situation. The so-called right time, right place and right people, Cao Shuang's invasion has not been satisfied. On the contrary, Shu Han took the lead, and Cao Shuang thought that "if you don't enter the war, you will be defeated, and the soldiers will not be bloody". But of course, Cao Shuang wouldn't listen to Sima Yi's advice and decided to send troops. Finally, he was defeated.

Cao Shuang's behavior is, of course, intolerable to Sima Yi. However, at this time, Cao Shuang is hot, and Sima Yi, who is good at strategy, will certainly not choose to fight brazenly. What's more, Cao Shuang has been paying attention to Sima Yi, and I'm afraid he will make any threat to himself. Sima yi did the same thing again, adopting the method of dealing with Cao Cao in those days-pretending to be ill and showing weakness. In the ninth year (AD 248), Cao Shuang's favourite, Li Sheng, became the secretariat of Jingzhou, and Cao Shuang ordered him to see Sima Yi. This visit is quite famous in history, and it has also become a typical example of Sima Yi's "treachery". Sima yi "ordered two maids to stand on the edge and come down with clothes;" Pointed to the mouth, said I was thirsty, and the girl entered the porridge. Wang Xuan took a cup to drink porridge, and the porridge flowed out and stained my chest. "Not only that, even though Dr. Li was repeatedly appointed as the state capital, Sima Yi pretended that he was old and deaf, thinking that Dr. Li would be appointed as the secretariat of Bing, and then entrusted him with the idea that" your teacher and the Zhao brothers should be friends, so you can't give up each other, and it's a pity to be indifferent. " Dr. Li couldn't help sighing. When he came back to me, he said to Cao Shuang, "The teacher is probably dying. It's really sad like that." Cao Shuang was reassured. But in fact, Sima Yi and Sima Shi are already preparing to kill Cao Shuang.

Ten years ago (AD 249), Sima Yi used Cao Shuang to accompany Cao Fang to visit Cao Bamu and instigated a coup. On the eve of the incident, Sima Yi told his two sons about it. Si Mazhao was too scared to sleep at night, but he was already involved in this matter, while Sima Shi, who supported 3,000 dead people, calmly responded and went to bed safely. The next day, according to Sima Yi's layout, the troops were stationed in Sima Men, "to appease the inside and outside, and to arrange the whole array." Cao Shuang was very alarmed at the news. After that, he followed the advice of assistant minister Xu Yun and minister Chen Tai, and confessed to Sima Yi that he could still be a rich man. Huan Fan was saddened by Cao Shuang's short-sighted political talent and cursed "Cao Zidan beauty, born your brother, calf ears! Figure what sit your race out today ",Cao Shuang still have illusions. As for Cao Shuang's unguarded constraint after the Ping Ling incident and his fantasy of being a rich man, some people think that Cao Shuang has no intention of harming Sima Yi. I think this view may be a bit one-sided. Because of Cao Shuang's cramped reaction, including the previous arrogance of Sima Yi's power (he turned Sima Yi into a teacher, but did not weaken his military power too much) and his poor governance, there was a nursery rhyme saying that "he, Deng and Ding made a mess of the capital", which actually reflected his lack of sufficient political talent and experience. After returning to Luoyang, Cao Shuang was placed under house arrest. There is no food at home. After he wrote to Sima Yi, Sima Yi pretended to be frightened to disgrace after reading the letter, and wrote back to Cao Shuang, saying that I didn't know about it, and I was really sorry, and ordered people to send Cao Shuang 100 welcome rice, bacon, salted black beans, soybeans and other foods. Sima Yi's actions made Cao Shuang think he had another chance to live.

Moreover, he also has unrealistic fantasies and peace. After Sima Yi put all the people in prison, Yanhe gave up his friends' lineal coefficient, hoping to be forgiven. Sima Yi was dissatisfied, saying that the participants had eight surnames; I counted and counted, but there were only seven. Finally, he was forced to worry and said, "Is there still me?" Sima Yiran. In fact, since Sima Yi has been planning for a long time and is determined to arise, how can he let them go easily? Soon, Cao Shuang was appointed as the second lieutenant, but he acted rashly. On the grounds that others are * * * perverse, they say "enjoying the cool, meaning, training, beauty, residence, intimacy, track, victory, model, and so on." , all fell down, and the three were destroyed. " Sima Shi was awarded the title of Changping Township Hou and Qianhu Food City, soon.

Although the power in the DPRK gradually returned to Sima Yi's family after Cao Shuang's death, I don't agree with the view that Sima Yi has wolf eyes and will be a rebel of Cao Wei. Again, after reading history, it is inevitable to infer the behavior psychology of the previous characters from the ending, which is actually very subjective. Throughout Sima Yi's life, he resisted Bashu in the north, leveled Liaodong, assisted Cao Pi to ascend to the throne, and entrusted orphans to assist the government twice. Apart from launching the Gao Ping Ling incident, there is no indication that he has the intention of usurping the throne, and the Gao Ping Ling incident, from a political point of view, is also a last resort. Cao Shuang's bullying in North Korea, regarding imperial power as nothing, has caused many people's dissatisfaction. Coupled with the suppression of Sima Yi, as a but on the other hand, Sima's punishment for the three families of Cao Shuang is really heavy, so we can speculate that during the ten years when Sima and others were dismissed from office, something really happened between them, so that the relationship between the two sides was irreversible in the end, and we can get a glimpse from the death of Xia Houxuan later.

However, it is obvious that Sima's influence in the world has broken the balance of forces of all parties, and even made people think of taking Cao Wei instead.

In the third year of Jiaping (AD 25 1), the tomb of Sikong Wang led troops to oust Cao Fang and made Cao Pi, the king of Chu, the new king. If you are only dissatisfied with Sima Yi, how can you want to establish a new king? Wang Guang, the son of the tomb, also thinks that it is not appropriate, and thinks that "every major event should be done according to your own feelings". The high Ping Ling incident was caused by Cao Shuang's arrogance and extravagance. Although his henchmen Yan and others had the heart of reform, they changed their names to code. "People used to the old system and were unwilling to accept new changes, thus losing their hearts. So, although many celebrities died in the high Ping Ling incident. On the other hand, when Sima Yi was in power, he used talents and put the people first. Both father and son held military power, so it was not so easy to be overthrown. This passage, Pei Songzhi thinks that the former history is not recorded, and it should be added later. However, according to his theory, Cao Shuang deserved it, and Sima Shi was in power, but he was able to handle affairs impartially and appoint talents. Therefore, if the tomb rises against human feelings, it will inevitably fail, which is very consistent with the situation at that time. The so-called "popular support" refers to the old minister of Cao Wei to a great extent. The reform of Yanhe and others aroused their dissatisfaction. Therefore, when Gao Ping Ling changed the dynasty, Sima Yi said to Gao Rou, who was involved in this matter, "You are Zhou Bo", thinking that this was a move that brought peace and disorder. However, the reason why the tomb started fighting was not so simple. He just wants to crusade against Sima Shi and oppose his autocracy, and of course he won't listen to his advice. Later, he was defeated. Sima Yi named Guo Xiang as Anping County Duke, one grandson and one younger brother as Marquis, fifty thousand food cities around, nineteen people, etc.

But even if the rebellion of the tomb was put down, there were still many people who disagreed with Sima's ruling in the DPRK.

In the third year of Jiaping (AD 25 1 year), Sima Yi died at the age of 73, and the court took Sima Shi as the assistant monarch. In the first month of the second spring, Sima Shi was promoted to general and assistant minister, and held festivals to supervise Chinese and foreign troops and remember the affairs of ministers. At this time, "Zhuge Dan, Wang Chang, Chen Tai and Hu Zun were the commanders, and JI Wang, Zhou Tai, Wargo, Shi Bao and the county, Lu Yu, Li Feng, Xuan, Fu Tuo, Yu Chumou, Zhong Hui, Wang Su, Meng Kang, Song Taizu and Zhang Ji discussed the matter in advance and poured into the four seas. In this list, headed by Li Feng, there are not a few people who oppose Sima's ruling. Compared with his own father, Sima Shi is in power, and he has no proper political entrustment. Secondly, he doesn't have enough political experience. Third, it is obvious to win Cao Wei's heart, so the old minister of Cao Wei in the DPRK is bound to be dissatisfied. In this case, Sima Shi had no choice but to establish the meritorious military service to stand out for himself.

Just in this year, Sun Quan, the Emperor of Soochow, passed away. Zhuge Ke led the Prince as a general, and Sun Hongling, the secretariat, as a junior, supplemented by Teng Yin, general Lv Ju, Sun Jun and others. After Zhuge Ke assisted the government, he was in urgent need of achievements, so he began to rebuild the Dongxing levee built in the second year of Wu Huanglong (AD 229). "The left and right mountain people built two cities, each with a thousand people." On the one hand, Cao Wei believed that Wu Jun had invaded Xinjiang. On the other hand, Sima Shi also wanted to take advantage of Sun Quan's new loss, Zhuge Ke's discord with Sun Hong and the unstable situation in Soochow, and ordered Hu Zun, Zhuge Dan and others to lead 70,000 troops to destroy it. However, it was snowing heavily, and Wei Jun was unaware of it. He was ambushed by Wu Jun. "If the bridge is broken, he will drown himself, which is even more similar. At the same time, Lean Taibao Jia and others, tens of thousands of people died. " He was defeated. Zhuge Ke's victory, it can be said that the weather accounted for a lot of factors, not the length of the military strategy of the two countries, but Zhuge Ke was complacent because of this victory, and the next year he planned to take the initiative to attack Cao Wei. Many people objected, and Zhuge Ke insisted that "there are no two kings in the land, and the king wants to hang on to the future generations without annexing the world, and there is nothing in ancient and modern times". I'm afraid that if he doesn't cut at this time, Cao Wei will be stronger in the future and cannot be copied, and he will resolutely send 200,000 troops to cut Wei. This time, however, good luck no longer favored Zhuge Ke. As Sima Shi said, Zhuge Ke's new administration was in Wu, and with the victory of the previous year, he took chances and thought that this time he could make a quick decision. Sima Shi did the opposite, "ordering the general to build a high base with disadvantages." After several months of stalemate, Zhuge Ke really surrendered, and his soldiers were exhausted and unaccustomed, killing more than half of them. Sima Shi ordered Qiu Jian, Wen Qin, Yangzhou secretariat and others in the town east to strike * * * and break Wu Jun, beheading more than 10,000 people. After the defeated Zhuge Ke returned to Korea, he was killed by his political rival Sun Jun, and the three clans were destroyed, just as his father Zhu Gejin commented on him-"If you don't build a family, you will build a big red family".

Sima Shi made a gesture of repentance for Wu's defeat. "I didn't listen to the public holiday (Zhuge Dan), so that I did it. What would the generals do?" But he is actually very shy about it. According to Mr. Qiu's examination of the Book of Jin, "Paulus Johannes is Anton, and (Wang) is Sima. When Dongguan was defeated, King Wen said,' Who is to blame for the recent events?' The instrument says,' The responsibility lies with the strategist'. King Wen said angrily,' Sima wants to blame the solitary evil'? Then kill it. "Si Mazhao was then the governor, General Anton, who was good at killing officials who were out of shape. In a state of war, he has the same rights as the governor, and he can kill less than two thousand stones. However, since the war was over, Wang Yi was killed, followed by Sima, the military and political assistant, and Wang Xiu, the father of Wang Yi, a veteran of Cao Wei. Therefore, Si Mazhao's killing of Wang Yi shows Sima Yi's taboo on this failure. After this war, in the fifth year of Jiaping (AD 253), Sima Shi ordered Chen Tai to crusade against the conference semifinals, which also failed, dealt a heavy blow to Sima Shi and caused internal turmoil in Cao Wei again.
