One. Puppet Emperor
Cao Fang was the adopted son of Emperor Cao Rui of Wei. When Cao Fang ascended the throne, she was eight years old. At the time of the Coup d'état in Gaopingling, he was eighteen years old. For ten years, Cao Fang was a puppet emperor and had no power. During this period, the great general Cao Shuang abused power, and his confidants Ding Mi, He Yan, and Deng Biao were in turmoil. Even in the first eight years (Cao Fang's year), Empress Guo was forced to move to Yongning Palace, but in fact she was placed under house arrest, and Cao Fang had no choice but to cry goodbye to Empress Guo.
In the coup d'état at Gaopingling, Sima Yi, as a representative of the meritorious elders, led Jiang Ji, Gao Rou, Chen Tai, and other elders of the Ganshi clan to "rectify the chaos." Jiang Ji, Chen Tai (Son of Chen Qun) and other elders were not used by Cao Shuang in the first years of the Zheng Dynasty, and they all deeply resented Cao Shuang's confidants for the chaos of the government. They did not want to kill Cao Shuang, but only wanted to rely on Sima Yi's prestige to take the lead in regaining power. If Cao Fang had taken advantage of this sentiment of theirs and co-opted it would have been a good opportunity to be pro-government, but Cao Fang still did nothing. With Cao Shuang and his henchmen being killed one after another, Sima Yi began to monopolize power. At this time, even Jiang Ji, an old minister who had been fooled by Sima Yi, could only be depressed, and Cao Fang had only just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den, watching Sima Yi monopolize power and continue to be a puppet Tianzi. Three years after Jiaping, Sima Yi died, and Cao Fang, who had passed the age of weak crown, finally stopped being satisfied with the status quo and began to rebel.

Two. The incident of establishing Xiahou Xuan as a great general
After Sima Yi's death, his eldest son Sima Shi began to take over his power and accelerated Sima Daiwei's pace. However, Sima Shi's succession was not smooth. In the sixth year of Jiaping, the third year of Sima Shi's rise to power, there was an incident in which Zhongshu ordered Li Feng and Zhang Ji (Empress Zhang's father, then Guanglu Dafu) and others to depose Sima Shi and make Xiahou Xuan a general.
Sima Shi
Li Feng, whose son was a Great Wei horse, was a famous man in The Sea, and his reputation was as far as Eastern Wu. The Wei Luo once recorded that someone in the State of Wu surrendered to the State of Wei, and the Emperor Cao Rui of Wei asked, "In Jiangdong, do you know which famous people in the Central Plains?" Wu Ren said to Yue: "An Guo." "An Guo, is Li Feng's word." However, Li Feng's words were exaggerated, and during the first year of the zheng dynasty, he hovered between Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and was despised by the courtiers. After Sima Shi came to power, he attached himself to Sima Shi and was promoted to Zhongshu Ling (中書令) and put in charge of the Cao Wei center. Because Li Fengzi was related to the imperial family, and the Zhongshu Ling was deeply forbidden, Cao Fang began to woo Li Feng and get close to him. Zhang Ji, the father of Cao Fang's empress and a fellow villager with Li Feng, had accompanied Sima Shi to resist the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Wu general Zhuge Ke, and was appreciated and promoted by Sima Shi. However, because his daughter became empress, he had to give up his position as a taishou and became an idle Guanglu doctor, with ambitions to stretch nowhere.
"Wei Liu": Identify the characters, pay attention to the sea. Emperor Ming asked Jiangdong who were the famous Chinese scholars? Take the country to it.
It can be seen that although Li Feng and Zhang Ji were both in-laws of Cao Wei, they were both promoted by Sima Shi. Therefore, if it were not for the secret rebellion of the young emperor Cao Fang, the two would not have had any reason to oppose Sima Shi. At this time, Cao Fang was already twenty-four years old, and Sima Shi was forty-seven years old. Twenty-four is exactly the age at which a young man wants to prove himself. So how did Xiahou Xuan, the "righteous first and famous scholar," get involved in this coup d'état of "preparing for the rainy day"? Originally, after Cao Shuang came to power, as Cao Shuang's cousin (Sima Shi also married Xiahou Xuan's sister, who was Xiahou Xuan's brother-in-law, but the two did not have the same heart-to-heart as in a TV series), and he was the only famous soldier in the sea among the relatives of Emperor Xiahou of Cao, and xiahou Xuan, who had a high prestige, served as a central protector in the forbidden army. Later, he was moved to the general of Zhengxi, and the military forces of Yong and Liangzhou were the commanders of Cao Wei's elite Guanzhong army. It can be said that Xiahou Xuan's departure from the northwest of the town this time was as a foreign aid to the general Cao Shuang, with the intention of weakening Sima Yi's entangled forces in the Guanzhong army. As a result, Xiahou Xuan had no achievements in the Gaopingling coup, and did not listen to Xiahou Ba's advice and fled, so he was recalled to the imperial court by Sima Yi, and became too often without real power and depressed. After Sima Yi's death, Zhongshu ordered Xu Yun to congratulate Xiahou Xuan and say that you could rest assured. As a result, Xiahou Xuan said that Sima Yi was alive and could still let me go when he remembered his old friendships, but Ziyuan (Sima Shi) and Zi Shang (Sima Zhao) would not tolerate me.
Therefore, Li Feng and Zhang Ji chose Xiahou Xuan, who was very prestigious and depressed, as the candidate for the new general. The coup d'état was planned to be as follows: In February of the sixth year of Jiaping, Sima Shi would meet with the Wei emperor Cao Fang, and Li Feng and others would prepare to take the opportunity to kill Sima Shi in the inner court. Li Feng secretly told Su Shuo, the Overseer of the Yellow Gate, Ling Ledun of the Yongning Bureau, and Liu Xian, a redundant servant, and so on: "A few of you are in the inner court, and there are many illegal things, and the great general Sima Shi is a man who is strict and resolute, and will certainly not let you go." As a result, the inner court basically listened to Li Feng's dispatch. Just when Li and Zhang intended to launch a coup d'état, they were overwhelmed and leaked secrets in advance, resulting in Sima Shi's first attack, and Li Feng, Xiahou Xuan, and Zhang Ji were killed one after another. Before Shi Zai Xiahou Xuan was beheaded, his face was calm, his actions were free, and he was worthy of a generation of celebrities. Cao Fang's first suspected rebellion against Sima Shi ended in failure.
"Wei Luo": Xuan Jieqian, Sima Jingwang acted as a protector. The presidents and generals of the protectorate, who are elected as the chief military attaché, and those who are in charge of this official before and after cannot stop the bribes. Feng Yan said: "Now worship the nobles, all the battalions and soldiers are Tuen Mun." His Majesty lined Xuan, so he coerced and coerced the generals. Qing and others should be secretly white in this sense. "Your Majesty does not obey people, why not?" Feng waited: "Things are right, but if you don't believe it for the time being, you will be robbed and will go to your ears." Does that have to be followed? "Promises and so on. Feng Yue: "This clan is extinct, and qing is waiting for the secret." When the matter is accomplished, the secretary of state and so on should be the marquis of Changshuye. "Feng fu secret to inform Xuan xuan, arrest." He and Feng were allied and conspired to start a rebellion.
"Wei's Spring and Autumn": At the beginning, Xiahou Ba's general Ben Shu and Hu Xuan wanted to go with it. Xuan Yue: "Don't I have to be a guest of Kou Yuhu?" "Then return the Kyoshi." Tai Fu Wei, Xu Yun said Xuan Yue: "There is no need to worry about it." Xuan sighed, "Shi Zong, why don't you see anything?" This person can still meet me as a young man in the family, and Ziyuan and Zishang are not tolerant of me. ”
Xiahou Xuan
Three. Zhongshu ordered Xu Yunmou to fail to attack Sima Shi: Cao Fang was deposed
After jiaping failed in a coup in February of the sixth year, Cao Fang deposed Empress Zhang, giving Sima Shi an explanation. However, in September of the sixth year of Jiaping, Sima Shi suddenly deposed Cao Fang. Originally, during Li Feng's planned coup d'état, he had given Zhongshu Ling Xu Yun an edict appointing Xiahou Xuan as a general and Xu Yun as a lieutenant, and the two of them recorded Shangshu Shi (The Han family system, only by recording Shang Shu Shi had real power) and were in charge of the imperial government. Xu Yun immediately threw it away and burned it, but did not report it to Sima Shi. After Li Feng's plan was revealed, Xu Yun heard that Li Feng and the others had been arrested and wanted to go to meet the great general Sima Shi, but because he had a ghost in his heart, he was uncertain when he went out, and sima shi said after learning about it and asked Xu Yun: "I arrested Li Feng and these people, why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Yun suspected that Sima Shi knew that he had indirectly participated in Li Feng's plan, so he panicked and plotted to get rid of Sima Shi.
At that time, the Shu Han general Jiang Wei was fa Wei, and Sima Zhao led a large army stationed in Xuchang, preparing to attack Jiang Wei. Before leaving, he led an army to resign to Cao Fang. Xu Yun planned to kill Sima Zhao at this time, seize his army, and then lead a large army to attack Sima Shi. This time, the history books clearly recorded that Cao Fang was involved in it, and the edicts were all written. As a result, Cao Fang was timid and gave up the great opportunity. The "New Language of the World" and the "Wei Jin Chunqiu" are even more eloquent descriptions of this story, and the two books jointly record that after Sima Zhao entered the temple, Youling began to sing "Blue Head Chicken", the Green Head Chicken, that is, the duck, and the harmonic sound "Pledge", which is the code word for action. However, Cao Fang was suppressed by Sima Zhao, and was too timid to give orders, only to be detected by Sima Zhao, who led a large army into the city, making Xu Yun's assassination plan a failure. Sima Shi began plotting to depose the Young Emperor Cao Fang. After the incident, Xu Yun was appointed as the general of Zhenbei and held the position of imperial court governor of various military affairs north of the Yellow River. Before he could leave, Yousi arrested him and handed him over to Ting Wei for punishment on the charge of distributing official goods without authorization, and was finally sentenced to commuting the death penalty to move to the frontier, and was chased and killed by Sima Shi on the way. Cao Fang was eventually deposed by Sima Shi as the King of Qi and made Cao Fu emperor (later Cao Fu was killed when he personally attacked Sima Zhao).
Shiyu and Wei's Spring and Autumn and Clouds: This Autumn, Jiang Weikou Long Right. When the Andong general Sima Wenwang (司馬文王镇徐昌) returned the battle against Wei and reached the Jing Division, Emperor Yuping was optimistic to pass by. The leader xu yun conspired with the left and right ministers, because of the resignation of King Wen, he killed him and led his people to retire from the general. It has been written before. King Wen, Emperor Fang Eat chestnut, Youren Yunwu and so on sang: "Blue-headed chicken, blue-headed chicken." "The blue-headed chicken, the duck too." The emperor was afraid to send it. King Wen led troops into the city, and King Jing was plotting to depose the emperor. In the case of Chen Song, Xiahou Xuanchuan and Wei Liu, Xu Yun was connected with Li Fengshi in the spring of this year. Feng Jie jie, that is, he was allowed to be the general of Zhenbei, but he did not send it, and collected the imperial lieutenants by releasing the official property, migrating to Lelang, and pursuing and killing him
Sima Zhao
Four. Du Shao said history", a little sigh
Back in the first ten years of the Gaopingling coup d'état, a group of Cao Wei ministers thought that Sima Yi was their "guiding light" and followed him to overthrow Cao Shuang, but they did not expect to be exchanged for the wolf ambitions of the Sima family. The lieutenant Jiang Ji helped Sima Yi control the capital and garrisoned the Luoshui pontoon bridge to ensure that Cao Shuang did not die, but was later deceived by Sima Yi and finally depressed. The above-mentioned Zhongshu Order Xu Yun and Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, wrote to Cao Shuang to persuade him to give up his military power, and the former personally went to Cao Shuang's camp to persuade Cao Shuang. As a result, many years later, Xu Yunmou killed Sima Shi, resulting in Cao Fang's depose. Chen Tai vomited blood and died after killing Cao Xian in broad daylight by sima Zhao in the future. If life can be repeated, will these three "Cao Wei loyal ministers" from beginning to end still help Sima Yi in the first place? And in the future, after learning that Cao Fang, who took over his throne, was killed, would Cao Fang, who had been deposed as the King of Qi, be glad that he was cowardly and timid, and only then did he leave his own life to survive? Maybe this is life, the real life can't be written in the script. These questions are also worth pondering for us today.
In the first ten years of the reign of Emperor Sima Yantai of jin (274 AD), Cao Fang died at the age of forty-three, with the courtesy name Shaoling Ligong.
