In 249, Sima Yi brazenly launched the Gaopingling coup and killed his biggest political enemy, Cao Shuang.
After killing Cao Shuang, Sima Yi, in order to avoid future troubles, killed more than 7,000 people of the Cao clan, and for a time Luoyang was filled with blood, and countless people were terrified.
Sima Yi used a massacre to silence everyone!
At that time, where would Cao Wei's loyal generals be? Where are their descendants, and why are they rarely speaking out to stop or even resist?
(Gaopingling coup)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="99" > one: a tragic timeline. </h1>
The Cao Wei regime established by Cao Cao was undoubtedly the camp with the most talents in the Three Kingdoms era.
At the height of this camp, according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there were countless civilian subjects and military generals like rain, and it was not enough to describe them with talents.
This group of people followed Cao Cao to fight the world for twenty or thirty years, loyalty is absolutely not to say, but sadly, the hero can not withstand the erosion of time.
In 218 AD, Le Jin, one of the five sons of Liang, died the first of the five sons, becoming the first of the Cao Wei generals to die.
In 219, Cao Cao's right-hand man Xiahou Yuan was beheaded by Huang Zhong at the Battle of Hanzhong.
From 220 to 229 AD, countless familiar names passed away one after another.
This long list includes Cao Cao himself, Cao Ren, Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Shang, Cao Xiu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Cao Zhang, Cao Pi, and Xu Chu, and in these ten years, most of the major warlords of Cao Cao's era died, and even Cao Cao's heir Cao Pi died.
From 230 to 239 AD, the last famous general Zhang Guo was also killed in a battle with Zhuge Liang, and the governor of Cao Rui's era, Cao Zhen, also died, the longest-lived Cao Hong also died, and Cao Rui, the third emperor of Cao Wei, also died.
The departure of this group of people not only caused Cao Wei to lose not only a large number of talents, but also a solid military foundation.
In short, when Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling coup d'état in 249 AD, there were very few Cao Wei or even three kingdom celebrities who were contemporaries or similar to Cao Cao.
The people who were active in the stage of the Three Kingdoms at that time were all juniors such as Jiang Wei, Sima Zhao, Sima Shi, Guo Huai, and Deng Ai, or the older generation of longevity elements such as Sun Quan, Liao Hua, and so on.
Sima Yi at that moment was a bug, using his age to survive countless deaths.
The older generation is dead, and it will not be so tragic that the new generation of Cao Wei can stand up, but it is embarrassing for the new generation not to give strength.
(Cao Wei's deceased)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="113" > two: the new generation is not powerful, and the Cao Wei clan is not connected. </h1>
After Cao Pi ascended the throne, because of his jealousy of the direct imperial family, he has been committed to suppressing the imperial forces, and under his suppression, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang all lived very depressed, lost their authority, and ended up depressed!
This kind of style continues in the follow-up, and it also makes the entire Cao clan direct line and the nearest Xiahou clan talent have a fault.
Under their oppression, they have lost their day of emergence, and even talents have no chance to emerge.
After suppressing the imperial family and the clan, Cao Pi chose to reuse collateral brothers such as Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who were more powerful in the first generation, but their problems were all the same, that is, all of them were short-lived ghosts.
They didn't care if they died, but their sons didn't grow up, and the growth rate when they grew up was not high, which embarrassed the emperor.
The people who could be trusted did not grow up, so Cao Wei had to reuse people with foreign surnames to resist the attack of Shu Han.
At that time, the Shu Han, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, attacked Cao Wei many times.
The Fourth and Fifth Northern Expeditions, as well as the joint situation of Wu and Shu, forced Cao Rui to reuse foreign ministers like Sima Yi. It was under such an opportunity that Sima Yi rose.
It can be said that without Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, there would have been no Sima Yi's high prestige in Cao Wei's army.
Zhuge Liang died of illness in 234 AD, and the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty finally came to an end, but there were still few trustworthy Cao family generals.
Cao Rui saw this, and although he had the intention of reclaiming Sima Yi's military power, the rebellion of Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong in 238 AD allowed Sima Yi to seize the opportunity and become the one who controlled the army again.
In short, at least half of Cao Wei's most effective army at that time was under sima Yi's control, which was the evil consequence of the cao wei clan's successor.
This is also the root cause of why Cao Rui insisted on promoting Cao Shuang to the position of chancellor of The Orphan in 239 AD.
Cao Rui had already seen the problem, and with no one available, he could only promote Cao Shuang, who seemed to have the strongest ability, as the minister of trust.
In this way, Cao Shuang was promoted by surprise and became a candidate to oppose Sima Yi.
(Cao Shuang of Zhida Talent)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="129" > three: Cao Shuang's era, death is not endless. </h1>
Cao Shuang was Cao Zhen's son, and Cao Zhen was Cao Cao's adopted son.
According to the identity, Cao Rui's orphans are similar to Cao Pi's orphans in those years, and they all avoid the direct Cao family members from being orphan ministers and reusing second-line imperial relatives. In fact, I don't quite understand why this is so, maybe I am afraid of civil unrest?
After Cao Shuang was entrusted with isolation, he and Sima Yi assisted the young emperor Cao Fang.
At the beginning, Cao Shuang was still very powerful, and with the help of a group of people, he not only regained the military power in Sima Yi's hands, but also suppressed Sima Yi at all times, so that Sima Yi had to pretend to be stupid at home and pretend to be sick to avoid disasters.
If everything does not change, Cao Shuang should be able to stabilize Cao Wei's situation.
But a good situation made Cao Shuang begin to think about death, and thus Cao Shuang's death appeared.
This Cao Shuang actually started the mind of the Nine Pins Zhongzheng System, in his opinion, because of this official promotion method in the court, there were countless children of the family, the Hanmen Shu clan was useless, and the royal authority was gradually disintegrating by the Shi clan.
There's nothing wrong with that, but there's a Chinese word called tail big.
The problem of the clan is a stubborn disease that cannot be solved by a quick knife, and blatant reform will only hurt itself.
In the era of Cao Cao, it was possible to rely on authority to suppress the family clan, and the Cao Pi era could only gain support by practicing the Nine-Pin Zhongzheng system and using compromise, and the same was true in the Cao Rui era.
Does Cao Shuang have Cao Cao's prestige and great talent? Of course not, so when he touched the family family, it was the way to find death!
Before Cao Shuang suppressed Sima Yi, it was to suppress the Sima family, and other clans would regard this as a political struggle rather than a class struggle. However, when Cao Shuang wanted to move the Nine Pins Zhongzheng System, it was equivalent to Cao Shuang wanting to go to an all-out war with all the clans, which was undoubtedly a matter of igniting fire and shaking the foundation of Cao Wei's rule.
(Turtle Philosophy Sima Yi)
Challenging a person is not a big problem, because it is not about oneself hanging high, challenging a group, that is, to lead the whole body. Under this act of death, the clans reached a reconciliation with Sima Yi.
The Xun family, which was once the representative of the family family, because Cao Cao killed Xun Yu, had long had no relationship with the Cao family, and under the leadership of Xun Yu's son Xun Yu, he became a helper of the Sima family, and other descendants such as the Zhong Family, the Jia Kui Family, the Wang Lang Family, and the Hua Xin Family also turned against each other and became Sima Yi's allies.
These people were all the main conspirators of Cao Cao's family at that time, but under the interests of the class, they all became the helpers of Sima Yi's family.
As for the descendants of Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, they are not a family family, and their descendants are not mixed well, and their political attitudes are not important.
This is true of the descendants of Wen Chen, so what about the descendants of Cao Cao's military generals? At this time, I have to say a sad word.
Father hero good man, that is a small probability event, at least in Cao Cao's old brother, the probability is as low as almost 0.
The five sons of Liang and the fierce generals under Cao Cao, the sons are all wasted, there are few talents, all straw bales.
Among them, according to the status, only Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu and Le Jin's son Le Qi were ok. One is a partial general, and the other is a Yangzhou Assassin. Unfortunately, this Lejin's son Le Qi subsequently defected to the Cao family and became a supporter of Sima Yijia.
In addition to these two people, Dianwei's son Dianman and Xu Chu's son Xu Yi were not high-ranking officials, and only left a name in the history books.
As for the descendants of Yu Ban, Xu Huang, and Zhang Gao, they were even less useful, and the previous few good and evil history books also left their names, and the descendants of these people, who did not even leave their names, did not know what they had done.
From the second generation of the above officials, we can see that the civilian and military generals who followed Cao Cao to fight the world in those years.
Most of the descendants of Wen Chen have defected, and a small number of them have not rebelled, nor have any influence, which is not enough to change the situation.
Most of the descendants of the martial generals were straw bales, and many of them also rebelled against Cao Wei, and they were not capable enough to change the situation.
The descendants of Wen Chen have seen the wind fall, and the descendants of the martial generals are straw bales, who can still rely on Grin? In fact, there are still some, that is, they cannot become a system.
(Three Kingdoms)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="156" >4: The Struggle of Cao Wei Forces. </h1>
After the coup d'état in Gaopingling, there were still people who really supported the Cao clan and had the intention to resist, among which the representative figures were Xiahou Shang's son Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan's son Xiahou Ba, Chen Qun's son Chen Tai and Yiqiu Jian.
However, among these four people, except for Yuqiu Jian, who had some military power, the strength of the others was not impressive.
Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Ba, because of Cao Pi's jealousy of their families, although they had prestige, did not have the ability to rebel, one was exterminated by Sima Zhao, and the other fled to Shu Han.
Chen Qun's son Chen Tai was able to do it, but the identity of Wen Chen, as well as the reality of being alone, made him helpless.
The only one who fought desperately for Cao Wei was the infamous Yuqiu Jian, who was favored by Cao Rui and brazenly raised an army in order to repay Cao Wei, and then he was suppressed. After Yuqiu Jian, there were also many rebellions within Cao Wei, but rebellions such as Wang Ling, Wen Qin, and Zhuge Shi were more about fighting for power and profit, not for Cao Wei's feelings of family and country.
(Gaishi adulterous male made a wedding dress)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="162" > epilogue:</h1>
From 220 AD when Cao Pi usurped Han and established Wei, to 265 AD, when the Western Jin Dynasty was established, Cao Wei was established for 45 years.
In these 45 years, Cao Cao's descendants only spoke for 29 years, from the coup d'état of Gaopingling in 249 AD to Sima Yi's seizure of power by Sima Yan in 265 AD, these 16 years were already the Sima family's Jiangshan.
However, this Western Jin Dynasty's Jiangshan also existed for a long time before it was overthrown under the death of The Descendant Hu Lai.
At this point, I can't help but wonder!
Well-known people, one generation is stronger than the next seems to be incorrect, most of the time it is a generation worse than a generation.
The descendants of the Cao Wei clan and the five sons of liangjun, if they give a little strength and produce a leading figure similar to the old father, perhaps history will go to a different place.
It can be seen that ease is the key to the weak, and the flowers that come out of the greenhouse are relatively wasteful.
