Previously introduced to the Shu Han generals Fu Wei and Fu You, both father and son were loyal subjects, Fu Wei refused to surrender in the Battle of Yiling, and died in battle, and Fu You was also a heroic martyr at the time of the fall of Shu Han. However, Cao Wei had a father and son with diametrically opposed political attitudes. His father was loyal to Cao Wei and was listed as a model of loyalty. However, the son defected to the Sima family, actively helped them usurp the throne, and even participated in the killing of Emperor Cao Wei.
Let's first talk about this loyal vassal of Cao Wei, he is Jia Kui! Jia Kui is a native of Linfen, Shanxi. Although Jia Kui came from a poor family, he was very studious and showed a very strong interest in the military. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jia Kui served as a county official and was promoted to a county official in Daiyi. At that time, Yuan Shang sent Guo Yuan to compete for the area of Hezhou, and "all the cities passed through were down", and only Jia Kui insisted on defending Daiyi. Later, although the city was destroyed, Jia Kui refused to surrender, and also received the support of the local people, "If you want to kill my xianjun, you would rather die!" ”
Later, Jia Kui was rescued, and he was conscripted to "join the military with the counselor of the Council". Cao Cao was in conscription with Ma Chao and appointed Jia Kui as the Taishou of Hongnong. Jia Kui was well governed, and was praised by Cao Cao, "So that the two thousand stones in the world are like Jia Kui, why should I worry?" Not long after, Cao Cao appointed Jia Kui as the chief of the XiangFu. In 219, Cao Cao also appointed Jia Kui as the Counselor of the Counselors, "and Xiahou Shang was in charge of the military plan". In 220, Cao Cao fell ill and died, and Jia Kui presided over the funeral and actively supported Cao Pi's ascension to the throne.
During the reign of Cao Pi, Jia Kui served as the assassin of Yuzhou, and during his tenure, he was quite accomplished, and was praised by Cao Pi, "publicizing the world, when Yuzhou should be the law". After the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Wei ascended the throne, Cao Xiu led a large army deep into Eastern Wu territory, and as a result was a crushing defeat at the Battle of Shiting. At this time, Jia Kui sent troops to rescue in time to avoid the total annihilation of Cao Xiu's army. However, Cao Xiu was not grateful to Jia Kui and "wanted to be guilty of the later stages", but Jia Kui did not say anything.
In 228, Jia Kui fell ill and died at the age of fifty-five. The people of Yuzhou remembered Jia Kui's exploits and set up a temple for him. Later, Emperor Wei Ming passed through this place and entered the Jia Kui Ancestral Temple, and sighed: "Kui has loyal xun, but he has not seen and thought, but he can be said to be dead and immortal." It is proclaimed to the world to persuade the future. That is to say, Emperor Wei Ming regarded Jia Kui as a model of loyalty and declared it to the people of the world. However, Emperor Wanwan of Wei did not expect that Jia Kui's son was Cao Wei's rebel!
In 217, Jia Kui, who was already in his forties, was happy to have a son, and people thought that "there should be a celebration of Filling Lu later", so he named Jia Chong, the word Gonglu. Relying on his father's merits, Jia Kui successively held the positions of Shang Shulang and Huangmen Waiter. Later, Jia Chong defected to Sima Shi and became a military adviser to Sima Shi, "joining the military of the general". In 252, Jia Chong followed Sima Shi in his campaign against Huainan's rebellion. At that time, Sima Shi returned to Xuchang from illness and "stayed in charge of the military".
After Sima Zhao succeeded him, he used Jia Chong more heavily, but said that he was the first confidant, "for Emperor Wen's general Sima Zhao, he turned to the right long history". When Jia Chong was ordered to test Zhuge Birthday, he was reprimanded by Zhuge Birthday, "Qing is not Jia Yuzhou's son, the world is subject to Wei En, how can you want to lose people with social integrity!" ”。 In 260, the Wei lord Cao Xian led a guard to plan to recruit Sima Shao. Although Cao Huan was a puppet, he was the emperor after all, so "the Xiangfu soldiers will not dare to fight."
At this time, Jia Chong stood up, and he said to Cheng Ji: "Gong Waiting for Yang Ru, he is planning today, what doubts!" Therefore, Cheng Ji swung his weapon and killed Cao Xian on the spot. After Sima Zhao's death, Sima Yan still trusted Jia Chong, "When the military state was troubled, the imperial court secrets were all in harmony with the funds." In 265, the Western Jin Dynasty was established, and Jia Chong was given the title of Marquis of Linyi, "as the Yuanxun of Jin, deeply favored, and Lu Zhi was often superior to the group of officials". In 282, Jia Chong fell ill and died at the age of 66.
