Speaking of the change of Gao Pingling, many people may immediately think of the plot of "Sima Fei's illness to earn Cao Shuang", and the gao Taiwei played by Teacher Wei Zongwan, oh no, the image of Sima Zhongda.
In this coup d'état, what people talk about is not only Sima Yi's treachery, but also a trace of "anger" at Cao Shuang's "stupidity like a pig".
Many people say that if they can travel through time and space to become Cao Shuang, they can definitely press Sima Yi to the ground and rub it. Those who had such ideas obviously underestimated Cao Shuang and seriously underestimated Sima Yi.
Cao Shuang was actually not stupid, and Sima Yi was far more powerful than he thought.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Cao Shuang really "stupid as a pig"? </h1>
The change of Gaopingling needs to start from 10 years before the mutiny.
In the first month of the third year of the Jing Dynasty (239 AD), the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui died and entrusted it to Sima Yi and Cao Shuang. Both of them were "false festivals, both supervising the Chinese and foreign military forces, recording shang shushi, and commanding 3,000 elite soldiers in each command, and jointly ruling the government." ”
This year, Sima Yi was 61 years old and had been serving Cao Wei for more than 30 years. Sima Yi was such an accomplished old minister of the Four Dynasties, how could Cao Shuang exclude him from the court and empty his power?
Kill!
First of all, Cao Shuang played the Son of Heaven and honored Sima Yi as the "Great Sima And to make Sima Yi's official position higher than his own, which not only showed great respect for this old predecessor, but also reflected his "selflessness" of promoting talents.
After Sima Yi became the Grand Sima (大司馬), Cao Shuang again made people discuss above the court: "The throne of the Great Sima is estimated to be not good at feng shui." Cao Ren died within two years of being the Grand Sima and Cao Xiu died less than two years as the Grand Sima and Cao Zhen died when he was the Grand Sima in his early years, so gongsun Yuan became the Grand Sima and in less than four years he rebelled against Wei and was killed as a result. ”
Because Sima Dai's position was unlucky, Cao Shuang played it again, elevating Sima Yi to a higher level and making him a taifu.
Taifu's rank was too anti-heavenly, so it was a false position, and Cao Shuang put Sima Yi in such a high position, Sima Yi naturally lost real power and was squeezed out of Shang Shutai.
However, before it was over, Cao Shuang continued his "killing", to let Sima Yi get the privilege of "sword walking on the temple, praising and worshipping the nameless", and even made Sima Yi's sons the marquis of the marquis, and the official of the official.
On the surface, Sima Yi's family is an infinite scenery. In fact, in a series of "killings" when Cao Shuang seized power, Sima Yi suffered a series of secret losses one after another.
Not only that, in the key personnel arrangements, Cao Shuang also made many moves.
First of all, Jiang Ji was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and at the same time, he was relieved of the position of "leading general" who held the power of janissaries. At the same time, the second brother Cao Xi was placed in the position of "Middle Leader". His original position as "General of Wu Wei" was handed over to his third brother Cao Xun. The key position of the "Middle Protector", he left it to his own person Xiahou Xuan.
The general of Wu Wei (武衛將軍), who was in charge of overseeing the Zhongjun and Su Wei (宿衛) Forbidden Soldiers, was an extremely important position, such as Xu Chuzhi to Cao Cao.
The leader of the middle army is the supreme commander of the forbidden army and commands all internal armies.
The Central Guard Army, which is subordinate to the Central Leader, not only shoulders the responsibility of guarding the Beijing Division, but also has the power to select military attaches.
In this way, Sima Yi was both squeezed out of Shang Shutai and lost control of the Forbidden Army.
At this point, Cao Shuang completed his arrangement in the most critical position. Absolutely mastering the Forbidden Army and Shang Shutai is equivalent to absolutely mastering the emperor and absolutely grasping the power of Cao Wei.
In terms of the rest of the personnel arrangements, Cao Shuang also made his confidants He Yan, Deng Biao, Ding Mi and others as Shangshu, and Bi Rail was made a lieutenant in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, and constantly nailed his own forces into Cao Wei's court.
Although Sima Yi still had a lot of power in his hands, those were obviously irrelevant to Cao Shuang. In a word, as long as there is no fork in the road and Sima Yi is given a hundred guts, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down.
Cao Shuang, who can complete this action without bloodshed, said that he was "stupid as a pig", do you believe it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="76" > Sima Shi took up an important position, and Cao Shuang laid the foundation</h1>
If there are many people in the past and the present who have been seriously underestimated, Sima Shi should be selected.
Logically, under Cao Shuang's extremely beautiful series of operations, it is difficult for Sima Yi to have any hope of overturning. Perhaps Sima Shi was destined to succeed, and the turning point came. What gave them the last hope of turning over was Cao Shuang himself.
The Four Dynasties Patriarch Zhao Yudu oversaw the Yong and Liang armies, and because of his old age and illness, he requested to return to the Beijing Division. After Zhao Yu retired, the vacated seat was a fat difference on the side, and Cao Shuang naturally would not let him fall next to him, so he let Xiahou Xuan top it.
As soon as Xiahou Xuan went up, the key seat of the "Middle Guard" was vacant. I don't know whether it was Cao Shuang's carelessness or some concessions that had to be made in order to support Xiahou Xuan, and the position of "Middle Protector" was taken over by Sima Shi.
Although the "Middle Guard" was subordinate to the "Middle Leader", and although Cao Xi was still Sima Shi's immediate superior, this personnel arrangement really laid the foundation for the Cao brothers.
Sima Shi was like a nail, nailed into Cao Shuang's originally airtight core of power. Moreover, Sima Shi was extremely talented and capable, and whoever dared to underestimate him would not be able to eat and walk.
Since the Central Protector Army was responsible for selecting military attaches, it had always been accompanied by many "money and power transactions", but Sima Shi did not do so, and he did not take bribes. Under his hands, all the military generals were selected and promoted, and they had to speak with military merit.
Many people may feel that taking money and power can buy people's hearts, but this is not the case. The one who can really buy people's hearts and make your subordinates willing to die for you is Sima Shi.
For those military generals who had no hope of promotion because they had no money and no power in the past, Sima Shi illuminated the future for them, and if they were their reborn parents. For Sima Shi, they were grateful to Dade and were willing to die.
Although Sima Shi only worked in the position of "Middle Protector" for only three years before returning home to guard filial piety, what he cultivated for Sima Shi was enough to do a big job.
"Emperor Yin raised three thousand dead soldiers and scattered them in the human world." If there was no careful arrangement of Sima Shi in key positions, Sima Yi's father and son in front of Cao Shuang would probably only have the only way to go home and grow vegetables.
As we said earlier, when Cao Rui was alone, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang had great power in their hands, and they each commanded three thousand troops. If today's "three thousand dead soldiers" get equipment, how combat effective they are and what they can do may not need to be elaborated.
If you Cao Shuang can seize the power of Sima Yi, their father and son will be able to create a dead soldier who is not inferior to them behind their backs, and only be loyal to them Sima Shi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > Cao Shuang, Sima Yi of hidden patience</h1>
Cao Shuang is not "stupid like a pig", but it does not mean that he is calm and calm.
After making Sima Yi lose his face, Cao Shuang fluttered. His food, clothing, shelter, and transportation had risen to a level similar to that of the emperor. He even brought a few of Cao Rui's talents home and made him his concubines. In order to make the mansion magnificent, he moved the good things in the palace to his home.
In this way, his subordinates He Yan and others were even more unscrupulous, and hundreds of acres of fertile land said that they would be forcibly occupied, and officials who offended them said that they would be exempted from office.
In order to increase his prestige in the army, Cao Shuang plotted with Xiahou Xuan to cut down Shu, only to be beaten by the Shu army and ridiculed by the people of the time.
If Cao Shuang just suppressed Sima Yi, the other courtiers may not collapse, how do you like to do it. But Cao Shuang died without measure, but he offended all the old ministers.
Many people were bullied by Cao Shuang and began to lean toward Sima Yi's side.
Sun Li was rehabilitated by Cao Shuang and moved to The Prefecture of Shi, and when he left, he ran to complain to Sima Yi and cried as he spoke. Sima Yi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but in his mouth he still kept exhorting: "Don't cry, bear with it, you can't bear it and have to endure it." ”
In the ninth year of the first year (248 AD), Sima Yi was 70 years old, and he had been "ill" for almost two years. Cao Shuang ordered his confidant Li Sheng to go to visit the patient, but Sima Yi still chose to be patient, even drinking a porridge can splash himself, and he can make a whole trick of "not breathing out" when speaking.
Cao Shuang was relieved, in his eyes, Sima Yi, who was about to die, was actually no different from a dead man. Perhaps in his heart, it was useless to guard against Sima Yi at this moment, but on the contrary, his brothers and He Yan and Deng Biao's confidants were more worthy of his vigilance, after all, they were the people in power in their hands.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="78" > is not Cao Shuang's stupidity, but Sima Yi's treachery and jackal</h1>
Thus, it was time for the change of GaoPingling.
The night before Sima Yi was engaged in trouble, Sima Yi consulted with Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Sima Fu on how to behave. The history books also deliberately record such a fragment: After discussion, Sima Yi sent people to peek to see how the two brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao slept.
Sima Shi was the same as usual, how to sleep and how to sleep, while Sima Zhao was tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.
It was perhaps this detail that made Sima Yi make up his mind to make a big wave.
They all have to gamble their lives to do things, sima shi still sleeps so peacefully, this is the wind of the general, this is the plastic talent. Perhaps Sima Yi originally only wanted to bring down Cao Shuang, but after this detail, the estimation he wanted to bring down was Cao Wei. After all, he sima yi had a successor.
For Sima Yi, didn't Cao Shuang leave a back hand? He kept it, but it was useless.
The three thousand dead soldiers of Sima Yi's father and son had to pass through Cao Shuang's mansion to get to the arsenal. As they passed, they aroused the vigilance of Cao Shuang's generals, and the crowd tried to shoot with their bows, but they were stopped by a general named Sun Qian.
Why block? Perhaps we can assume that this Sun Qian is a nail buried by Sima Yi in Cao Shuang's mansion.
After taking the arsenal, three thousand dead soldiers got the equipment, and a strong team was upgraded in an instant. Sima Yi then had Sima Fu and Sima Shi attack Sima Men and take over the necessary routes to and from the palace. After that, Sima Yi let Sima Zhao enter the palace, and if he disguised himself as "imprisoning" Empress Guo, and got the edict, he made Sima Yi famous.
In fact, at this time, Sima Yi may not be able to turn over any waves, as long as Cao Shuang is willing, he can make a move to "blackmail the son of heaven to order the princes", and it is not yet known whose hand the deer died.
Therefore, Sima Yi had to stabilize Cao Shuang, so he did two things:
First, he pointed to Luo Shui as an oath, but he betrayed his faith.
Second, he used Jiang Ji and other elders as pawns to deceive everyone.
Sima Yi pointed at Luo Shui Zhenzhen in front of the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu: "The old man swore an oath to Luo Shui that as long as Cao Shuang surrendered his military power, he would be able to retain his title and property." ”
At the same time, he also invited Jiang Ji, Chen Tai, and other elders of Cao Wei, and tricked them into going to Cao Shuang and saying, "Sima Yi is just taking your power, and will not hurt you." ”
Mo said that it was more than a thousand years ago, and now, how many people dare to swear in front of everyone, and then turn their faces and destroy their promises? Sima Yi did this, completely deceived everyone, and also deceived Cao Shuang, how can he not be called "a jackal who commits adultery"?
After this, Cao Shuang was killed by Sima Yiyi's three tribes, and Jiang Ji, who had helped Sima Yi pack a ticket and said "it's okay", died of self-blame and anger. If this is not considered to be "selling teammates", what is Sima Yi's operation?
There are three kinds of people, one is that if you punch him, he will also return your punch. One is if you punch him and he'll kill you. One is that you punch him, and as a result, he destroys all three of your clans.
In Cao Shuang's cognition, Sima Yi should treat him like he did to Sima Yi, seizing power and not harming his life. Because after Cao Shuang was placed under house arrest, he also went to borrow grain from Sima Yi and said, I knew that Taifu would not me. ”
Alas, Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang, but it is so naïve.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi was actually the last kind of person.
