From ancient times to modern times, everyone knows the advantages of being an emperor, especially some young people with ambitions, and the ultimate goal is to become the master of the world and then do a great cause.
But everyone has different aspirations, like The Emperor gao zhan of Northern Qi, after he became emperor, he felt very dissatisfied, felt that the position of emperor affected his enjoyment of life, so he simply resigned from the position of emperor and was at ease to be a Taishang Emperor, so that not only did he have more time to enjoy life, but also did not have to deal with complicated government affairs.
However, an emperor with a relatively good mentality like Gao Zhan is still very rare, and in the Three Kingdoms period, there was an emperor who could have eaten, drank and played freely every day like Gao Zhan, without having to manage the government, but he did not like such a life, but insisted on regaining his own political management rights.

I. Cao Xian claimed the title of emperor and falsely intended to show goodwill to the Sima family
He was Emperor Wen of Wei's grandson Cao Xi and the fourth emperor in this dynasty, in fact, he originally had no chance to become emperor, but because Cao Fang was really not accustomed to the Sima family occupying the resources of the imperial court, and everywhere he wanted to monopolize power, he repeatedly wanted to find an opportunity to kill Sima Shi, the head of the Sima family. Unfortunately, this Sima Shi was not killed by him, but he himself suffered, and finally ended up being deposed.
After Cao Fang was deposed, Sima Shi wanted to find an obedient person to be emperor, so he took a fancy to Cao Zhao, but at this time Empress Guo thought that she was Cao Fang's niece and daughter-in-law, and if this person succeeded to the throne, then her position would be particularly embarrassing. In order to be able to avoid this embarrassment, she proposed to make Cao Fu emperor. Sima Shi saw that Cao Xian was also very well-behaved and obedient, so he agreed to Empress Guo's request.
Cao Xian was also very good at things, he knew that his throne was supported by Sima Shi,
Therefore, after becoming emperor, he handed over the command of the national army to Sima Shi, and also allowed him to wear shoes and wear a sword to the dynasty, and when he went to the dynasty, he did not have to be in such a hurry, and he could walk slowly
this
In ancient times it was a very high treatment, which was difficult for ordinary people to have.

2. Sima Shi died, and Cao Xi launched the first coup d'état
Seeing that the newly appointed emperor was so aware of current affairs, Sima Shi was also very pleased. But what he did not expect was that this Cao Xian superficially respected their family very much and raised his status, but in the depths of his heart, he hated him very much, and he hated the fact that he was holding the government, so he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him.
Right there
Cao Xian
Be the emperor's first
Two
In 2006, Sima Shi suddenly fell ill and died, which was very important
It is the best opportunity to get rid of the Sima family,
Therefore, he ordered Sima Zhao to stay in Xuchang to deal with Sima Shi's affairs, and then quietly issued an order to let the army return to Beijing, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Sima family in one fell swoop.
This plan seemed to be very feasible, but his behavior was seen through by one of Sima Zhao's subordinates, Zhong Hui, and told Sima Zhao about it. Sima Zhao was very angry after listening to it, so he quickly returned to the capital and threatened the emperor to let him continue to inherit Sima Shi's cause and manage the country's administrative affairs.

After this incident, Cao Xian was honest for a long time, but his heart was still very dissatisfied, but he did not have any way, after all, at present, the important power of the state was in the hands of the Sima family, and the only thing he could do was to find Wang Shen and Zhong Hui and these people to talk about the development and essence of Confucianism.
front
Great wisdom
Having said that,
The thing that wants to quietly launch a coup d'état is
bell
Will tell Sima Zhao, this is also possible
From the side
It is verified that the Zhong Hui is attached to the Sima family.
This Cao Xian came to Zhong every day to talk about Confucianism, and he acted too witty in his words, which was naturally not a good thing.
Sure enough, Zhong Hui often privately praised Sima Zhao in front of him for his intelligence and studiousness, and also said that his talent could be compared with Taizu, and after listening to Zhong Hui's words, Sima Zhao naturally had a number in his heart, and he was even more defensive about him.

Third, Cao Xian's emotions broke out and he launched a second coup d'état, but he was killed instead
On the sixth day of the first month of May in the fifth year of Ganlu, Cao Xian really couldn't hold his breath, so he once again wanted to launch a coup d'état to destroy the Sima family.
This operation
Scale is relative
He quietly gathered many ministers, including Wang Shen and Wang Ye, and told them that he planned to launch
coup
And also wrote a very famous thief-seeking document, the beginning is
“
Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by
”
。

Such a big battle naturally frightened these ministers stupidly, and some people quickly advised the emperor not to do this, or to obediently live a comfortable life. But the emperor felt that he had endured too long and really did not want to endure any longer.
Just when he was planning to vigorously do some work, he did not expect that Wang Shen and Wang Ye, the two people, betrayed him and quietly ran to Sima Zhao to inform him, so how could Cao Xian, who was in a weak position, be victorious?

But since he had chosen this path, he had no intention of turning back. So Cao Xian left his palace with a large group of slaves and Su Wei shouting, and was quickly subdued, at this time the anger in his heart completely exploded, and he loudly reprimanded the people who came to intercept him.
At the time

After this matter came out, people in the world were very shocked.

After Cao Huan's death, Sima Zhao forced Empress Guo to reduce Cao Huan to an ordinary citizen, so that he would not have to bear the crime of killing Tianzi. At that time, there were still ministers in the imperial court who were on the same side as Cao Huan, and they were very opposed to this, and finally decided to let Cao Huan enter the soil with royal etiquette.
After this matter was over, the people talked about it a lot, and in order to convince everyone, Sima Zhao had to kill one of his ministers to calm everyone's anger. However, he was not willing to give Jia Chong, so he planned to kill the three clans of Chengji, which was an explanation to everyone.
Cheng Ji felt that he had been completely used in this matter, so he felt very unconvinced, and later developed to the point that he did not wear clothes directly, ran to the roof, scolded and grinned at Sima Zhao, and spoke very ugly.

Sima Zhao was of course very angry, so he ordered him to be hacked to death with a chaotic sword, and I believe many people knew what happened later, the Sima family was not willing to be suppressed by the Cao family for a long time, and later simply replaced the Cao family's world and established the Jin Dynasty.
At this point, they became the biggest winners among the three kingdoms, and this matter was drowned in the tide of history. After a long time had passed, Emperor Ming of Jin, a descendant of the Sima family, learned about this matter, felt very ashamed of his ancestors' behavior, and sighed, if this is the case, how can the Jin Dynasty be long-lasting?
