"Sima Zhao's heart, known to passers-by.". This colloquial phrase is often used to describe ambition, which is already manifested. And the owner of this allusion is none other than the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, the Noble Township Duke, Cao Xian.
In 254, Sima Yi's son Sima Shi deposed the Wei emperor Cao Fang and created Cao Pi's eldest grandson Cao Fu (曹髦), who was only 13 years old at the time. Obviously, Cao Xian was nothing more than a tool for Sima Shi to control the government. However, the ambitious Cao Xian is not willing to sink, and the resourceful cao is quietly lurking. He was waiting for an opportunity to stomp the invincible Sima brothers under his feet.
The opportunity soon came. In 255, Sima Shi personally led 230,000 troops to conquest the Rebel Party in Huainan. During the battle, the rebel general Wen Duan rode alone to the camp and killed sima shi. In a state of shock, Sima Shi's left eye, which had already grown with a tumor, actually fell out of the orbit. Although Sima Shi was not taken by Wen Duan, he also lost most of his life and could only wait for death in Xuchang.
Before Sima Shi died, he quickly summoned his younger brother Sima Zhao, who was sitting in Luoyang, to Xuchang and asked him to immediately accept the seal of his great general. Sima Zhao left on the front foot, and Cao Xian issued an edict on the back foot, requiring Sima Zhao to stay in Xuchang and let Shangshu Fu Gao "lead the sixth army back to the Beijing Division" in an attempt to seize Sima Zhao's military power in one fell swoop. Who knew that Sima Zhao was very clever, he quickly handled the afterlife for his brother, and then led his troops back to Luoyang at a speed that was too fast to cover his ears, and Cao Xian's plan was finally frustrated.
According to historical records, Cao Xi's personality and wisdom are similar to those of his great-grandfather Cao Cao. However, when the tiger fell to Pingyang, he was trapped in the deep palace by the evil dog Sima Zhao, and was bullied to the fullest, even the Former Han Emperor Xiandi. Ning was crushed for the jade rather than for Waquan, and the blood inherited from Cao Cao was burning in this young man's chest, and he decided to do a big vote.
On June 2, 260, Cao Xian suddenly summoned the guards and slaves in the palace, and personally took the sword and prepared to personally kill Sima Zhao. At that time, Cao Xian had been completely lifted, surrounded by only a few hundred people, and they were all rabble. However, the identity of Emperor Cao Xi was indeed frightening, after all, no one wanted to bear the name of the emperor.
Hearing of the emperor's "rebellion", Sima Zhao's younger brother Sima Ling (司馬伷), a lieutenant of the Tun Riding School, quickly summoned his troops to suppress it. Who knew that as soon as the two armies met, Cao Xian's attendants shouted: "Bold and crazy slaves, dare the Son of Heaven to be a soldier against each other?" When Sima Ling's troops heard this, they were immediately frightened and scattered, and Sima Ling, who had become the commander of the light pole, also had to flee in a hurry.
Arriving at the southern gate of the palace, Cao Huan was stopped by Sima Zhao's confidant, Jia Chong, a loyalist of the Central Guard. Subsequently, the two armies engaged, and Cao Xian personally took the sword and went forward to fight. Since he was the Son of Heaven, no one dared to move him, and soon Jia Chong and his gang showed their defeated faces. At this moment of great success, Jia Chong summoned the brave general Cheng Ji and said, "Sima Gong raised you people precisely for today. There is nothing to ask about today's events."
Cheng Ji was a brainless fierce man, and he obeyed Jia Chong's command, swinging his horse and stabbing Cao Fu under his horse. The emperor was killed in broad daylight!
Since the beginning of Chinese civilization, the king and even the emperor have been a symbol of the sacred, a symbol of an order. To replace the emperor and change the surname, there must be a legal process. Otherwise, it will lead to the often disorder of the program and chaos in the world. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon to kill monarchs, but in broad daylight, Sima Zhao will be the first to kill monarchs openly. Since then, the holy emperor, who symbolizes order, has been knocked down into the earth and into the mud, and a chaos that has lasted for hundreds of years is about to be staged on the land of China.
After Cao Xian's death, almost everyone was stunned, and no one expected that Sima Zhao would dare to openly kill the emperor. Even Sima Yi's younger brother Sima Fu fell to his feet and cried bitterly, resting Cao Xi's head on his leg and crying very sadly, crying: "It is my sin that Your Majesty was killed!" When Sima Zhao saw this, he also fell to his knees and constantly pleaded with Cao Xian's corpse.
In this earth-shattering ugly drama, naturally there must be a scapegoat. And this head will naturally not be Jia Chong, let alone Sima Zhao, but may only be the house slave who acts as a thug - Cheng Ji. Sima Zhao ordered on the spot to destroy the three clans of Chengji. Who knew that something even more embarrassing happened, cheng ji saw Sima Zhao using himself as a substitute ghost, and even crashed into the samurai who had arrested him, and climbed to the roof.
Cheng Ji stripped off his clothes on the roof, shouted and scolded, and publicized Sima Zhao and Jia Chong's instigation of his own assassination of the king. Sima Zhao, seeing this great fear, immediately ordered archers to kill him on the spot. Subsequently, Sima Zhao forced Empress Guo to depose Cao Huan and demote him to a noble township prince. The earth-shattering ugly drama directed by Sima Zhao came to an end here.
This ugly drama has brought a very bad impact on China. Previously, in the eyes of the public, the emperor had to be inhabited by those who had virtue and merit. After Sima Zhao, everyone seemed to realize that the emperor did not seem to be so sacred, as long as the fist was large, he could become the emperor, and after the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony, a new great chaos was about to be staged.
In 266, Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan usurped the title of Emperor of Wei and established the Western Jin Dynasty, a rare decadent and degenerate dynasty in China, known as the most garbage and darkest dynasty. As soon as Sima Yan died, the Western Jin Dynasty immediately surrounded the throne and launched a bloody rebellion of the Eight Kings. Because the kings of the Sima clan believed that as long as they were as superstitious as Sima Zhao was, they could seize the world.
In the end, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings left Huaxia with the last drop of blood, liu yuan, Shi Le and other Hu people took advantage of the void and destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, China fell into the situation of the Five Hu Chaos, and the Northern Han people suffered a catastrophe. And the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was located on the left side of the river, was not much better, most of the Eastern Jin Emperors were puppets, and the family clans did not take them seriously at all. In the end, almost all of the Sima clans of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were destroyed by Liu Yu, which was really a heavenly cycle.
