Regarding Cao Cao and Sima Yi, netizens have commented:
One is almost self-made and lays the foundation for most of the world; the other is a subordinate, and then steals the family business. Although Sima Yi was a man of honor and merit, he was worse than Cao Cao, a bit like the old butler who killed the young master.
Is Cao Cao a traitor to the world, and is Sima Yi stealing the human kingdom? This article will not be reviewed.
However, Sima replaced Cao Wei, who should blame him?
Farting at others is the pit that Cao Cao dug himself!
01
In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216 AD), Cao Cao was crowned king of Wei by Emperor Xian of Han, with 30,000 households and the capital Ofe, with the status of the princes above the princes.
Cao Cao was very happy, so he feasted on the guests and meritorious ministers to celebrate his achievements.
One of the very special guests was named Sima Fang, the father of the famous Sima Yi.
At the banquet, Cao Cao deliberately stood up to toast to Mr. Sima Lao, which attracted the envious eyes of the courtiers.
Cao Cao said to Sima Fang, "Can the Lone King continue to serve as a lieutenant in the north of Luoyang today?" ”
It turned out that when Cao Cao was eighteen years old, Sima Fang had a discerning eye and vigorously promoted Cao Cao, who was born as a eunuch (this origin was extremely despised in the eyes of scholars at that time), to serve as a lieutenant in the north of Luoyang, thus opening Cao Cao's career.
Sima Fang said respectfully, "When the Great King was elected, your ability was just right to be a lieutenant in the north of Luoyang!" ”
Cao Cao remembered that he had served as a lieutenant in northern Luoyang to eliminate evil, and he could not help but feel a little proud, but at the same time, he knew that Sima Fang was a joke, and he couldn't help but laugh and thank Sima Fang.
The Biography of Cao Cao records that "(Cao) was cited by Sima Jiangong, the right hand man of Shangshu. And the duke was king, summoned the Duke of Jian to Yi, and drank with joy, saying that the Duke of Jian said: "Can the lonely be restored today as a lieutenant?" Jian Gong said: "When the king was raised in the past, it was appropriate to be a lieutenant's ear." The king laughed.
02
It is said that Sima Shi was a major household in the Yingchuan Clan at that time, and Sima Fang's father was once Yingchuan Taishou, and Sima Fang later served as Jing Zhaoyin.
Sima Fang had eight sons, and because there was a "Da" in his name, he was known as "Sima Bada" at that time.
In particular, Sima Fang's second son Sima Yi (Zi Zhongda), although born in a chaotic world, had a strategy in mind, was intelligent and erudite, and often worried about the world's major events.
Sima Yi was twenty years old and prosperous, and once met Yang Jun, the Taishou of Nanyang, who was known for his knowledge of people and good appointments, and Yang Jun saw at a glance that Sima Yi was not an ordinary person and praised Sima Yi.
At that time, Shangshu Cui Yan, who was in charge of selecting talents, had a very good relationship with Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, and praised Sima Yi for him: "Smart and decisive, heroic and extraordinary, it is by no means comparable to you." ”
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when famous people and scholars praised each other, it was very important to have celebrities recommending, and Sima Yi's reputation was greatly enhanced.
The Book of Jin records: "Nanyang Taishou Tongjun Yang Jun," who knew people, saw the emperor, did not have a weak crown, and thought that it was an extraordinary instrument. Shang Shu Qinghe Cui Yan and Emperor Brother Lang Shan, also known as Lang Yue: "Jundi Congliang Mingyun, just cut off the Yingte, not the son of the child." ”

Because of the special relationship between Sima Shi and Cao Cao, coupled with the high praise of Sima Yi by Cao Cao's courtiers, Cao Cao, who was serving as a sikong at that time, heard of Sima Yi's name.
In the sixth year of Jian'an (201 AD), the county elected the talented Sima Yi as an official.
Cao Cao heard of Sima Yi's name and saw that Sima Yi was in the list of counties and counties, so he recruited Sima Yi to serve in sikong province.
Sima Yi saw that the Eastern Han dynasty had been basically controlled by Cao Cao, but after believing that Cao Cao was a eunuch after all, he was not ashamed to do things that violated Cao Cao's rules under Cao Cao's hands, so he refused Cao Cao's kindness on the pretext that he had leprosy and could not live physically.
Cao Cao was a hero of the chaotic world, who had never seen such a scene, and was suspicious of Sima Yi's excuses.
So Cao Cao sent spies to spy on Sima Yi's condition at night.
Sima Yi was well aware of Cao Cao's treachery and had long been prepared.
The secret agent turned into Sima Yi's house, only to see Sima Yi lying stiffly on the bed, and the servants fed Sima Yi soup, and Sima Yi could not move at all, so the secret agent returned to "truthfully" to inform Cao Cao.
Cao Cao believed this to be true, so he gave up the idea of recruiting Sima Yi.
The Book of Jin records: "In the sixth year of Han Jian'an, the county raised a plan. Emperor Wu of Wei was a sikong and heard it, and the emperor knew that The Han Dynasty was weak, and did not want to bend the Cao clan, resigned to the wind, and could not live. Wei Wu sent people to the secret stab at night, and Emperor Jian lay still. ”

Thirteen years after Jian'an, a few years passed, Cao Cao became the chancellor, and cao's clan relatives rose to the top.
Cao Cao's brother Cao Hongjiu accompanied Cao Cao in his conquests and won Cao Cao's trust.
Cao Hong believed that he was a warrior and had no cultural attainments, so he also sought the assistance of talented people.
Cao Hong heard that Sima Yi was diligent and studious, so he did not hesitate to abandon his status as a general and personally condescend to visit Sima Yi.
Sima Yi was ashamed that the Cao family was a eunuch, so he confronted Cao Hong on crutches and pushed that he was ill and could not come out as an official.
Cao Hong is a rough man who believes it to be true.
A few days later, Cao Hong was walking down the street and saw Sima Yi drinking in the tavern intact.
Cao Hong found himself teased by Sima Yi and was extremely angry in his heart, so he secretly reported to Cao Cao.
"Wei Luo": Emperor Xuan of Jin was studious, Cao Hong thought that he was sloppy, wanted to succumb to emperor, the emperor was ashamed to visit, and Naito was sick with a staff. Hong hated it, and Taizu taizu, taizu was the emperor, and he threw his staff and answered the order.

It is said that although many years have passed, Cao Cao has a deep memory of Sima Yi and has always been grumpy about Sima Yi's illness.
Cao Cao listened to Cao Hong's report and found that he had also been deceived by Sima Yi, and was furious at his contempt for the Cao family.
Cao Cao ordered his men to recruit Sima Yi to serve as the Literary Commander of the Imperial Household.
Before leaving, Cao Cao instructed the emissary: "If you make any more excuses, you will be arrested immediately." ”
When the emissary arrived and announced the will of the chancellor, Sima Yi did not dare to shirk it any longer, so he had to come out and become an official.
The "Book of Jin" records: "And Wei Wu was a chancellor, and it was also set up as a literary book, and the narrator said: "If you repeat huan, you will receive it." The emperor took office in fear. ”

After a long time, Cao Cao found that Sima Yi had great ambitions and was difficult to control.
One day Cao Cao summoned Sima Yi, and when the reception was complete, Sima Yi wanted to retreat, and Cao Cao suddenly called Sima Yi.
Seeing that Sima Yi immediately stopped when he heard the sound, he turned his head to look at Cao Cao, his head facing backwards but his body did not move forward.
Cao Cao was shocked in his heart: This is the legendary "Wolf Gu Phase"!
That night, Cao Cao could not sleep at night, and in the middle of the night he once again dreamed of a dream he often had: three horses eating grain in a trough.
Cao Cao woke up with a thousand thoughts: "The groove is 'Cao', are the three horses Sima Yi's father and son?!" ”
From then on, Cao Cao began to dislike Sima Yi.
Before cao cao died, he said to his son Cao Pi: "Sima Yi has the appearance of a "wolf", he will not be willing to live under the people, and he will definitely interfere in your family affairs in the future. ”
However, Shizi Cao Pi had a very good relationship with Sima Yi, so he did not pay attention to Cao Cao's advice at all, but defended Sima Yi everywhere.
Sima Yi was also loyal to his duties and diligent in his duties, so that he often could not sleep at night.
Cao Cao saw that Sima Yi was working so hard, and he himself was also moved, so he dismissed the idea of getting rid of Sima Yi.
The Book of Jin records: "Because of the title of Prince Pi Yue: "Sima Yi is not a human subject, and he will predict ru family affairs." Prince Su and Emperor Shan, each of them is blessed, so they are exempted. ”
Before Cao Cao died, he instructed: "If this person does not die, he will rebel in the future, and he will choose the opportunity to punish him." ”
......
Cao Cao himself did not expect that Sima Yi, who had forced himself to become an official, had killed three generations of his grandchildren, and eventually let the Sima family replace the Cao Wei regime.
Cao Cao's father and son were busy working, and all of them became other people's wedding dresses.
I have to say that "Sima DaiWei" is the pit that Cao Cao himself dug for himself.
The biggest failure of Cao Cao's life was that he knew that Sima Yi would "become a jing" in the future, but he did not take him with him!
