In the history of thousands of years in ancient times, there have been many turbulent wars, especially in the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, which lasted for a hundred years. During this period of time, the warlords were divided, the world was almost subverted, there was a war everywhere, and heroes appeared in the chaotic world, and there were also many heroes in this period, and later Sima Shi was able to unify the Central Plains, which had a lot to do with Sima Yi. In the beginning, he was a courtier of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later became a courtier of Cao Wei, he held the power of the imperial court, and had great ambitions in his heart, but he had been sleeping, waiting for the opportunity, feeling that he had killed three generations of the Cao family to find a lover, until later he changed dynasties and established the world of Sima Shi. At that time, he was 70 years old, so he launched a coup d'état and seized the power of the Cao clan. Many people will have a question, why did he wait until he was 70 years old before he began to rebel, was he not strong enough, or was he afraid of something?
Sima Yi was not afraid, but waiting for the best time. You must know that in the chaotic world, in order to win a place in the hands of the separatist regimes, the waist pole must be straight, and there must be military power in hand. Unfortunately, although Sima Yi was a very capable person, the previous Cao emperors did not pay much attention to him, so he was wandering outside the political core group for many years, and if he talked about rebellion, Sima Yi could be said to be a typical weak heart.
According to legend, when Sima Yi was young, he was a very ambitious person, the history books say that he "eagle-eyed wolf", when Cao Cao was alive, he was wary of Sima Yi and did not dare to give him too much power, and Sima Yi also knew how to protect himself, do small volts, do not show the mountain, do not leak water, and honestly pretend to be a grandson under Cao Cao's hands.
However, to tell the truth, at that time, the military power of the Wei state had always been in the hands of the Cao and Xiahou clans, and Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui had extremely strong control over the army, and Sima Yi did not say that he was rebellious, and he had to be careful on weekdays, otherwise the door would be cut all in front of him. Until the fourth generation of the Cao family, Cao Fang, took the throne, the power of the State of Wei was controlled by Cao Shuang, a disciple of the clan, cao Shuang was also a big straw bag, and his arbitrary behavior caused everyone to be dissatisfied, Sima Yi launched a coup d'état in accordance with the will of the people and killed Cao Shuang's party, and Sima Yi, who was in a position of great power, tore open his disguise and used the excuse of Cao Shuang's rebellion to wipe out all the ministers loyal to Cao Shuang.
The longevity of the Sima family is based on genes, and the Sima family also has a relative named Sima Fu, born in 180, experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, through the entire reign of Cao Wei, in 266 Sima Yan established the Western Jin Dynasty, and he died in 272 years, living for more than ninety years, which is quite a long life in ancient times. Therefore, the body is the capital of the revolution. And when Sima Yi was more than a year old, the power was in his hands, and his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were both capable people, so naturally they could plot, presumably at that time, Sima Yi's sons also thought in their hearts: If we don't rebel again, we will be old, you say no?
Whether it was Cao Cao or Cao Pi, in fact, they were all masters of a generation, and Sima Yi could only wait until all the capable people in the Cao family were killed and secretly accumulated their own forces before they dared to take action.
