After Sima Yi s rebellion, why did Cao Cao s old subordinates stand still?

Cao Cao's old subordinates are all very old, and they have no real power in their hands, and they are afraid of Sima Yi.

No soldiers can move. Before Sima Yi seized power, he had already taken the military and political power into his own hands, and Cao Cao's old subordinates had no troops to contend with.

When Sima Yi rebelled, Cao Cao's old subordinates had already died, and the age was too far apart.

The inaction of Cao Cao's old subordinates was naturally for his own benefit. When Cao Cao's descendants inherited the throne, they reused their own clansmen and excluded old ** with different surnames. The interests of these old subordinates have been damaged, and a lot of dissatisfaction has accumulated in their hearts, and Heng Teaser guesses that they are taking this opportunity to vent the anger in their hearts.

At the same time, they were able to obtain the benefits previously promised by Sima Yi after the change, who would have any objection to the word "benefit"? Not only did Cao Cao's old department not really sit still, but some people also secretly participated in and vigorously supported Sima Yi.

It may be because they are more fearful, so they dare not speak, let alone stand up against it.

Third, Sima Yi betrayed Sima Yi also knew that he could only put forward opinions at that time, and if he did too much, he would be killed. And at that time, the equal power was also in the hands of the emperor, and Sima Yi had no chance to rebel at all. It's just that Cao Rui was greedy for pleasure later, so he also gave Sima Yi a chance, and when he died, Sima Yi naturally couldn't bear it.

After Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang assisted the government together, Cao Shuang served as a general as a clansman, and Sima Yi served as a lieutenant with meritorious prestige! Cao Shuang was bewitched by his cronies, and he was respectful to Sima Yi and seized Sima Yi's military power (Taiwei was in charge of the army, and Cao Shuang instigated the abolition of Emperor Cao Fang to promote Sima Yi to Taifu, and Taifu was respected but had no power). In order to avoid conflict with Cao Shuang, Sima Yi retired from old age.

Without Sima Yi's constraints, Cao Shuang and his cronies did whatever they wanted, and even moved the Empress Dowager Guo to the outer palace to isolate the influence of the little emperor Cao Fang. Internally, he made friends privately, and externally, he insisted on cutting down Shu and losing his troops, Cao Shuang messed around for a whole decade, and finally waited for the change of Gao Pingling! It took ten years after Sima Yi retired to destroy Cao Shuang and his gang, and he was supported by most people in the court!

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Sima Yi is engaged in Cao Shuang and whether Cao Rui dies or not, Sima Yi just conformed to the hearts of the people at that time. As for the back of the government, that is a matter of necessity! And the families of the scholars all support it.

The main reason is actually because the time has not come, when Cao Rui was in power, Sima Yi did not have so much military power to launch a coup d'état, during which he had been accumulating, and finally launched a mutiny after Cao Rui's death.

Sima Yi wanted to wait until he was sure of everything before launching a mutiny, because if Cao Rui didn't die, he would definitely hinder his plan.

Because Cao Rui, the lord of Wei, was a very shrewd monarch, and he also had some commanding talents to lead troops into battle, and he was as smart as Sima Yi would definitely wait for his death before he dared to mutiny.

If Cao Rui had not died and he had launched a mutiny, it would have been unjustified and the possibility of success would have been greatly reduced.

When Cao Rui was alive, Sima Yi had no real power, and Cao Rui was very shrewd, so it was really not a wise choice to mutiny at this time.

Sima Yi is not stupid, Cao Rui was in power when he was in power, and he did not lose to his father and ancestors. Sima Yi was scared to death and didn't dare.

The lord is young and weak, not only Sima Yi, but also Zhao Kuangyi, who can set up a 4-5-year-old child to be the emperor at every turn.

Sima Yi is a very shrewd person, he knows that if he mutinies immediately, it will be difficult to succeed, and his strength does not allow, so he chose to mutiny after Cao Rui's death.

Because Sima Yi knew that his chances of winning a rash mutiny were not very great, and he did not have the strength, and after Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi was already the governor of Yongliang, holding 100,000 Wei soldiers.

The mutiny is not a child's play, it must be carefully considered and fully prepared, otherwise failure will be a major sin of the nine clans, and the time will definitely have to wait for the time to come.

Because at that time, he was still resisting Zhuge Liang in the Yongliang area, if he sent troops to attack Chang'an at this time, he would have to fight on both sides, even if Sima Yi had more troops, he would not be able to resist it.

It may be that the timing was just right at that time, and Cao Rui, the lord of Wei, was a very shrewd monarch, and he also had some talent for commanding troops, not a cowardly monarch.

The Cao family has several generations of masters, but the combined lifespan is no longer than one Sima Yi, and the time is also fateful, which makes people sigh!

The artifact cannot be moved lightly, and if you are not completely sure, the great profit is also a great disaster.

Because Sima Yi felt that there was no leader worth following.

Sima Yi was too smart for Cao Cao to see through. If he knew that according to Cao Cao's temper, he would have killed him sooner.

When Cao Rui was alive, the Cao Group was still relatively stable, and the risks were too great.

Because it was only at this time that he eradicated the people who could stop him from fighting for power, so he did it at this time.

After Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi had no worries. The monarchs after Cao Rui were weak and incompetent, and they could not restrain Sima Yi at all, and Sima Yi had nothing to fear.
