In ancient times, it was cool to be an emperor, but once you became a puppet emperor, it was quite uncomfortable. You can't be the master of the state and government, your personal life must be monitored, and if you don't have the courage to resist, it seems that you can only wait to be usurped by the powerful ministers. Emperor Xian of Han had been like this for a lifetime, and finally watched as the Han Dynasty was usurped by Cao Wei. However, the puppet emperors in history are not all as "tolerant" as the Han XianDi, one of them is very backbone, he is not willing to be a puppet emperor, all the time he is not thinking about getting rid of the powerful subjects, for this reason, he actually took more than three hundred eunuch servants in the palace to personally fight against the powerful ministers. So, who is he?
Ironically, this emperor was Cao Wei's noble village duke Cao Wei. Cao Cao took Emperor Xian of Han as his own puppet for a lifetime, but he never expected that his descendants would also be forced to be puppets of others. After the Coup d'état at Gaopingling, Sima Shi seized power over Cao Wei. In 254, Sima Shi deposed Cao Fang and made cao fang, a 14-year-old duke of Guixiang, the emperor of the State of Wei. Obviously, Sima Shi wanted to use Cao Xi as his puppet in order to usurp the throne in the future. However, Sima Shi obviously underestimated Cao Xian, although Cao Xian was young, but his mind was quite mature, he had already seen through the Sima family, but he was suffering from his own lonely position, and Sima Shi's authority was monstrous, so he had to sit back and wait for the opportunity. In 255, the Zhendong generals Wuqiu Jian and Yangzhou Assassin Shi Wenqin raised troops to denounce Sima Shi, and Sima Shi personally requisitioned, resulting in excessive fright in the war, and finally his eyes burst out and died. This was undoubtedly a good time for Cao Xian to regain his military power, and while he ordered Sima Zhao to be stabilized, he sent people to take charge of the army left by Sima Shi. If this move is successful, Cao Xian is expected to successfully eliminate the Sima clan. Unfortunately, he met Sima Zhao.
The Sima brothers all inherited Sima Yi's cunning genes. After Sima Zhao received Cao Xian's order, he saw Cao Xian's intentions, and he ignored Cao Xian's orders and directly returned to the capital Luoyang with his army. A precious opportunity to turn around, just like this, I rubbed shoulders with Cao Xian. Cao Xian had no choice but to accept the reality and appoint Sima Zhao as a general and take charge of the military. After Sima Zhao came to power, he was dictatorial and arrogant, and Cao Xian, as the king of a country, not only had no power to speak of, but even the people who served him around him were almost all replaced by Sima Zhao's eyeliner.
In 260, Cao Xian, who was not willing to be a puppet, finally couldn't bear it, and on a stormy night, Cao Xian summoned Wang Shen of Shizhong, Wang Jing of Shangshu, and Wang Ye of Shanqi Changshi, and said a famous sentence from ancient times: "The heart of Sima Zhao, passers-by know it." I cannot sit back and be humiliated, but today I should consult with the secretary of state and so on. The three of them were shocked to hear this, and Wang Jing advised: "The Sima family has been in power for many years, and His Majesty has no soldiers and no armor, so why fight?" If the crusade fails, it is a dead end. ”
But Cao Xian had already made up his mind to die, and he took out from his arms the edict that had already been written against Sima Shi and resolutely said, "I have already made up my mind, even if I die, what is there to be afraid of!" After saying this, Cao Xian immediately went to the palace to gather people and horses, but where there were any fighting people and horses in the palace, under all kinds of hardships, Cao Huan gathered a team of three hundred people from the eunuch servants. What he didn't know at this point was that his crusade plan had been leaked.
Cao's knowledge was unknown, and two of the three people he summoned had become traitors. Wang Shen and Wang Ye, fearing that Cao Xian would be punished by Sima Zhao after his failure, went directly to Sima Zhao to inform him, but Wang Jing, alone, did not want to abandon Cao Zhao and decided to die with Cao Zhao. In this way, Cao Xian led a group of disheveled people in poor armor to fight against Sima Zhao, who had more than 100,000 heavy troops, and the sheep entered the tiger's mouth and hit the stone with an egg. Sima Zhao learned from Wang Shen that wang ye was going to attack him, and hurriedly asked Jia Chong to lead the forbidden army to the palace to meet the battle. Therefore, before Cao Xian left the palace, he met the forbidden army sent by Sima Zhao. In the face of the surging Forbidden Army, Cao Xian was not afraid, he stood on the rut of the car, and drank with his sword, frightening no one of the Forbidden Army to dare to come forward and fight. At this time, Sima Zhao's subordinate Cheng Ji asked Jia Chong, "How is this good?" Jia Chong provoked him: "Sima Gong raised you people precisely for today. Today's events, there is nothing to ask! So Cheng Ji grabbed the long halberd and rushed towards Cao Xi, Cao Xian did not expect that someone really dared to do something with himself, and was shocked, drinking: "PiFu dares to be rude!" Without a word, he had been stabbed in the chest by Cheng Ji and fell out of the imperial court. Unwilling to be a puppet, Cao Xian was killed at the age of 20. Cheng Ji, who killed Cao Xian, was later executed as Sima Zhao's scapegoat and exterminated the three tribes.
