Cao Xian made a plan to eliminate Sima Zhao while Sima Zhao was attending the imperial meeting, but it was helpless to rain heavily, allowing Sima Zhao to escape the disaster.
Cao Xian led the guards not to attack Sima Zhao, but to send him to death, and Cao Xian wanted to use his life to give the Cao family a glimmer of life.
The Cao family bloodline does not admit defeat.
On the sixth night of the first month of May 260, Cao Xi formulated a plan to kill Sima Zhao.
Ordered the palace guard Li Zhao and others to deploy swords and axemen in the palace, preparing to solve Sima Zhao's surprise at the next day's court meeting.
On the night of the fifth day, Emperor Zi sent his servants Li Zhao and Huang Men from the official Jiao Bo to Ling Yuntai, and ordered the soldiers to be armoured, hoping to meet and ask for King Wen.
This was the plan that Cao Xian had first made, but because his later actions were so crazy, people ignored Cao Xian's original plan to kill Sima Zhao.
Originally, everything was ready, and there was no leakage of wind, but the next morning it began to rain heavily, and the asahi meeting (Ariji) was rescheduled.
There will be rain, there will be a song but a day.
Heaven forbid Cao, a heavy rain extinguished all of Cao's hopes.
Cao Xian had to change his strategy, now he could not kill Sima Zhao, and the time of the night could still be kept secret, but now that the plan had failed, with Sima Zhao's ability, it was sooner or later to leak secrets.
Cao Xian knew that once the secrets were leaked and his position was not guaranteed, the Cao family would be more difficult, at this time, Cao Xian issued the last big move in his life - sacrifice.
Cao Xian was ready to use his life to give the Cao family a glimmer of life.
A magical scene in Chinese history has emerged.
An emperor leads his soldiers to attack the residence of a courtier.
Cao Xi drove the Tianzi chariot, with hundreds of people, and hyped up his going on a crusade against the guilty.
The emperor had hundreds of servants and clamored out.
The first step in Cao Xi's plan this time was to break out of the palace, and it was a great irony that an emperor wanted to break out of the palace.
Cao Xian successfully broke through Sima Ling, who had come to block him, broke out of the palace, and entered luoyang city.
In fact, Cao Xian was lucky in this plan, because after Sima Zhao learned the news, the main force of Sima Gan, who was sent to stop Cao Xian, was stopped by a man named Man Changwu, sima Gan was late, and Cao Xian could rush out of the palace so easily.
This Man Changwu was later beaten to death by Sima Zhao.
After Cao Xian rushed out of the palace and entered Luoyang City, the people of Luoyang could watch, and when things developed to this point, Cao Xian's plan already had the conditions for implementation, and there was only one last step left - sacrifice.
Cao Was eventually shot through the chest by Cheng Ji.
Cao's purpose was achieved.
Is Chengji making up his own mind? Absolutely not, after all, it was the emperor, borrowing a hundred bold men who did not dare to make their own decisions, this must be Sima Zhao's order.
Since ancient times, courtiers have not been alone, it cannot be said that they are everywhere, but they also exist sporadically, but in broad daylight, Sima Zhao is the first to stab the emperor in the street in public.
The killing of the emperor by the courtiers was carried out quietly, and even if it was not good, it was also in the palace, who saw it? Who can prove it? Who dares to prove it?
Sima Zhao was different, Sima Zhao could order the army not to speak, could he still block the mouth of the heavens?
The impact is too bad, and this is the result that Cao Xian wants.
The Sima family gave the Cao family great grace, and now when the street is killed, it is simply indignant.
As Cao Xian said about Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by are well known. It is not that people are unaware that Sima Zhao wants to usurp the throne, but Sima Zhao has to have an orthodox reason, such as Cao Xian Chan Rang, and Sima Zhao "inherits the Mandate of Heaven".
For example, Emperor Xian of Han, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to give way, which will not cause the people of the whole world to resent, because the beggar appearance of the Son of Heaven in the Han Dynasty has been seen all over the world, and it is the Cao family that has unified the north, and people have "virtue".
The Sima family was originally the Cao family regime at the peak of the usurpation period, the people's hearts and minds of the world have not yet been lost, you directly killed the emperor, it is not a thing, after all, you can capture it, there is no need to kill ah, just a few hundred people, how much wind and waves can be caused.
In fact, no matter whether Sima Zhao could not give the order to kill Cao Xian, Cao Xian would die today, but he would only commit suicide or be killed by others.
What Cao Xian wanted was the result of this chaos, Sima Zhao could not usurp the throne and claim the title of emperor, and the Sima family could only wait for the next generation to usurp the throne and become emperor, so that the Cao family would still have a chance.
The reason why Cao Xi's death caused the people to be sad and indignant, in addition to the Fact that Tianzi was stabbed to death in the street, there was also Cao Huan's personality.
The 14-year-old Cao Xian was chosen to succeed Cao Fang as the Great Wei Xinjun, and the 14-year-old child got off the bus to pay respects to the hundred officials when he was greeted by the hundred officials.
Entering Luoyang, the group of courtiers greeted Xiye Mennan, and the public opinion (yu second voice) will answer the prayer.
The minister next to him said: You don't have to worship them.
Cao Xian said: Now I am also a courtier, these are the pillars of the country, and they must be worshipped.
Then Cao Xian's vehicle drove to the stop gate, and Cao Xian took the initiative to get out of the car and walk with the ministers.
Cao Xian said: I was summoned to Luoyang by the empress dowager, and I don't know what to do, but I should walk like the ministers.
This 14-year-old child, at the end of this day, gained the hearts of hundreds of officials, felt that this emperor was very unusual, and felt that it was an honor to participate in welcoming Cao Xian.
The hundred companions rejoiced.
After Cao Xian succeeded to the throne, he showed full respect for everyone, from hundreds of officials to palace eunuchs, which was the main reason why Cao Xian could form a group of people and horses who obeyed his orders in the imperial palace like an iron barrel.
After all, Cao Xi is the emperor, although he has no power, but his identity is there, he greets you as an ordinary forbidden army, gives you full respect, can this soldier not be grateful and repay him with death?
This is probably the death of a soldier for a confidant.
Cao Xian also often engaged in some academic debates, and often convinced the hearts of the hundred officials to debate.
As a teenager, Cao Xian showed extraordinary political qualities and did everything in his power to increase his influence.
Corporal Li Xian, who is lenient to others, has a certain position in the hearts of hundreds of officials and the people.
This is also one of the reasons why the impact of Cao Xi's death is so bad.
Cao Xian led the attack on Sima Zhao because Cao Huan was worried that the plan was revealed, and he made a sacrifice act, in order to use his own death to prevent Sima Zhao from usurping power.
Then why did Cao Xian so hastily carry out the plan of assassinating Sima Zhao?
Although Cao Huan was prepared, it was obvious that the plan to kill Sima Zhao at the court meeting was also somewhat hasty.
Mainly Cao Xian could not wait, because a month ago, Sima Zhao had already completed three resignations and nine tins, which was a precursor to Sima Zhao's usurpation of the throne.
After waiting any longer, after Cao Xian was replaced, the Cao family had no hope at all, and Cao Xian had no choice but to organize the killing of Sima Zhao under immature circumstances.
summary
Cao Xian organized the action of killing Sima Zhao in the palace, but unfortunately people were not as good as heavenly calculations, and a heavy rain changed Sima Zhao's fate and also changed The outcome of Cao Wei.
Cao Xian led his men to kill Sima Zhao in public, and spread the news in advance in the palace that he was going to kill Sima Zhao, all of which was inconsistent with Cao Xi's cautious character.
Didn't Cao Xian know that such a big publicity would make Sima Zhao get the news in advance? Don't you know that this bit of people alone is not enough to threaten Sima Zhao?
There were already few people and horses, a few hundred people, and the hope was extremely slim, so wouldn't there be no hope in letting Sima Zhao get the news in advance?
Therefore, the purpose of Cao Xian leading hundreds of people to attack Sima Zhao was not to kill Sima Zhao at all, but to send him to death.
With his own life, Sima Zhao lost the possibility of usurping the throne and becoming emperor, and the Cao family's throne could only wait for the next generation of the Sima family to usurp the throne again, and with time, there was hope.
Cao Xi's sacrifice bought time for the Cao family, and the Cao family's bloodline did not accept defeat.
