The Sima family rose after the Coup d'état in Gaopingling, and since then the Sima family has controlled the power of Cao Wei, and it can be said that the Sima family at this time has gone to the road of rise. After Sima Yi's death, his son Sima Shi (司馬師), Sima Zhao (司馬昭), held the power of Cao Wei, and later after Sima Shi's death, Cao Wei's power was actually in the hands of Sima Zhao.
Sima Zhao and Cao Cao
Cao Cao is undoubtedly a traitor in history, because Cao Cao once said a sentence, this sentence is "Rather I bear people, no one bears me", in short, no one can be sorry for me, the same Sima Zhao also said a similar sentence, that is, "Rather I bear Qing, no Qing bear me", in short, no one can bear me. It can be seen from this that the intentions of the adulterous males are the same, and the things they do are similar, even the words they say are so similar.
Cao Cao used to hold Liu Xie in the palm of his hand, and in fact controlled Liu Xie and held the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao never dreamed that many years later, a similar incident would occur, and his own descendant Cao Huan would also be toyed with by Sima Zhao, and the power of Cao Wei was firmly in the hands of the Sima family.
Cao Xian and Sima Zhao
Since Cao Wei, there had been no emperor with real power, and they were all puppets of sima shi. Cao Xian was able to ascend to the throne because Sima Shi deposed the previous emperor, Cao Fang. However, although Cao Xian is a puppet, he is also very skeletal. He once tried to take advantage of Sima Shi's illness and death to suppress Sima Zhao and arrange him outside Luoyang, but to no avail. This incident can be seen that Cao Xian was very dissatisfied with Sima Zhao, and he was also very courageous.
Cao Xian shot, Sima Zhaojun
Cao Xian felt that Sima Zhao was about to usurp the throne, so he finally could not sit still, so he planned to raise an army to get rid of Sima Zhao. However, Sima Zhao's rule was already deeply rooted, and Cao Xian's move was tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.
Some ministers objected, but Cao Xian had already made up his mind, preferring to give up his life rather than watch Cao Wei's country fall into the hands of Sima Shi. However, the actual situation could not be changed by the will of the people, and when Cao Xian raised an army to attack Sima Zhao, someone informed Sima Zhao and made Sima Zhao ready.
Cao Xian then drew his sword and led the guards to kill like Sima Zhao, at this time Sima Zhao's younger brother Sima Ling met Cao Zhao's army at the stop gate, Cao Xian then ordered people to reprimand them, the soldiers were very scared, so they all fled, Cao Xian continued to lead the army forward, and as a result, at this time came a person, this person was Jia Chong, Jia Chong led the army from the outside, confronting Cao Xi in the south of the palace, Cao Xian then personally went into battle to draw his sword and fight, at that time some people saw the emperor like this, they were very afraid to retreat. Therefore, Jia Chong's army will be defeated, at which time Cheng Ji asks Jia Chong: "What should we do?" Jia Chong then said, "Sima Gong raised you people precisely for today, things have reached such a point, what else is there to ask", so Cheng Ji drew his spear and took a step forward to assassinate Cao Xi, Cao Xi died under the car, and everyone saw that His Majesty was dead, and they stopped resisting.
brief summary
Subsequently, Sima Zhao summoned his ministers to discuss the matter, and the courtiers all decided that they must kill Jia Chong to thank the world, but Sima Zhao did not agree, but only ordered that Cao Huan be reduced to a Shuren and buried with the courtesy of a Shuren, and at the same time, kill the Chengji brothers. Although Cao Xian died at the hands of Cheng Ji, Sima Zhao could not escape the fact that he had killed Jun, because Sima Zhao could not fail to participate in it, and Cheng Ji was only a scapegoat.
