When Cao Shuang was in power, why didn t he take the opportunity to eradicate Sima Yi?

Sima Yi has survived the Cao family for several generations, you must know that before Cao Shuang, Sima Yi has been there for a long time, and with his own power, even if Cao Shuang has the right, it is impossible to eradicate it easily.

Because the imperial court is about to employ people, Cao Shuang is not good at getting rid of Sima Yi, which will cause dissatisfaction among others.

Because Cao Shuang has no political experience, he doesn't know the truth of cutting grass and eradicating roots, and he is also very timid and afraid.

Cao Shuang lost to Sima Yi, in addition to his average IQ and mediocrity, but also because Sima Yi was yin, ruthless, and able to pretend. The horse is in love with the trough, and he is reluctant to have a beautiful wife. Zhengye was naïve and naïve, after Sima Yi saw his paper tiger clearly, he seized the powerful fighter and took Cao Shuang in one fell swoop in the name of the Empress Dowager Guo.

Cao Shuang thought that Sima Yi would let himself go like Cao Shuang would let Sima Yi go. As everyone knows, Sima Yi needs to clear the obstacles to usurpation, he needs to make an example of one hundred people, and he needs to master the military power.

Gao Pingling mutinied, Sima Yi was a failure, and he was burned. One of them, Heng Fan, a think tank, fled and took the general's seal with him. Second, Cao Shuang can coerce the world to order the world, but he doesn't know how to use it.

San Cao Shuang was intimidated by Sima Yishen's might, and Heng Fan said that the puppet still knows how to save his life. Cao Zhen's sons are not as good as pigs and dogs. Throw yourself into the net.

Sima Yi has been deeply cultivated for decades, and his protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, and he is also actively trying to win over Cao Shuang's opposites. Although he pretended to be sick at home, he did not resign as Taifu, and this position still has a strong influence. And his identity as a representative of Confucianism and the family with his own traffic still maintains a high degree of fan stickiness.

Cao Shuang controls the little emperor - and he is not on the same page as he is, as I explained in the previous Q&A, and he enveloped the Empress Dowager Guo by marriage. Cao Shuang does not have an absolute advantage over Sima Yi, he just feels good about himself. It was precisely because Sima Yi did not lose his power that he pretended to be sick to confuse Cao Shuang, and after he relaxed his vigilance, he dealt a fatal blow.

And it is easier for the dignified Taifu to gain sympathy and support if he is so down, thus pushing Cao Shuang to the opposite side of injustice. One is in the light and the other is in the dark, and the situation has already been quietly reversed. Cao Shuang cares about power, but Sima Yi cares even more, a 71-year-old man would rather pretend to be crazy and stupid than resign to support his retirement, for what is self-evident.

During the Gaopingling Rebellion, Sima Yi first gave the Empress Dowager Guo legitimacy and the Empress Dowager's order, and at the same time closed the city gate to occupy the arsenal, and took command of Cao Shuang and Cao Xi's barracks. Sima Yi's family has a clear division of labor: the younger brother Sima Fu and the eldest son Sima Shi guard the Sima Gate, the second son Sima Zhao keeps an eye on the two palaces, and Sima Yi himself garrisons the Luoshui pontoon bridge to control the key points.

Everything was deployed neatly and orderly, and it is estimated that my brain was not idle for a moment when I was pretending to be sick at home, and I was thinking about it. Although Cao Shuang is a general and has military power, he can't quench his thirst from far away, and he has no place to stand in Luoyang. The key is that Sima Yi also controls the Cao brothers' families, and this most easily ignored reason is precisely Cao Shuang's biggest weakness.

Because Sima Yi had already rebelled, he took Luoyang under control when Cao Shuang and they went out to play, and then launched a military coup, and Cao Shuang also surrendered to Sima Yi, so he was defeated by Sima Yi in the end.

Sima Yi took advantage of their trip to Luoyang to take Luoyang City into his own hands, and then launched a military coup, and later Cao Shuang chose to surrender.

Mainly because of Cao Shuang's lack of appeal, many people are very disappointed in Cao Shuang, and the family is very supportive of Sima Yi.

Cao Shuang is the general of the Wei State, holding military and political power, according to common sense, Sima Yi's rebellion is unlikely to succeed, but Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang and others to worship their ancestors, launched a coup d'état, so that the Sima family held great power.

Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui are all very powerful figures, but it's a pity that Cao Rui doesn't have a son and he doesn't live long, otherwise the power of the Zheng family without Cao will not be easily taken away by Sima Yi. At that time, Sima Yi no longer had military power in his hands, and Cao Shuang had a large army, and Sima Yi just cultivated thousands of Deadpools waiting for a great opportunity. Cao Shuang's vision is not as good as Cao Pi and Cao Rui, both of them can suppress Sima Yi very well when they are in power, but it can only be said that Cao Shuang is still too tender.

Clause. 1. Incompetent.

Cao Shuang is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he never thought of fighting with Sima Yi for life and death. After the Gaopingling Incident, Huan Fan persuaded Cao Shuang to kidnap the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, and then mobilized various armies to conquer Sima Yi. But Cao Shuang hesitated, he was worried that once he failed, there would be no way out.

After dragging on for half the night, Cao Shuang threw the knife on the ground and said: "Even if you surrender to Sima Yi, you can still be a rich and noble family." It just so happened that Sima Yi also pointed to Luoshui and swore that he would not kill Cao Shuang, so Jiang Ji wrote a letter to persuade Cao Shuang, saying that Sima Yi would only dismiss his officials, not kill him, and as long as he handed over his military power, he would be able to preserve his glory and wealth.

As soon as Cao Shuang saw that Jiang Ji said this, he surrendered decisively.

Clause. Second, the strength is indeed inferior to Sima Yi.

Although Sima Yi controlled the imperial city, it was only the imperial city. What Sima Yi has in his hands is only a private army that he has a conspiracy to hide, and the so-called "dead soldiers" are only a few thousand. Another convenient condition, Sima Yi has the right to speak as the Empress Dowager of Sakura, because the Empress Dowager did not go to Gaopingling, but in the imperial city.

In Cao Shuang's hands, there is an emperor, a general's seal, and a number of civil and military officials. It's like a small court. The emperor is in his hands, which means that he is righteous and obedient, and he coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes; The general is printed in his hand, which means that he holds the military power of the whole country and can transfer troops to the king.

If Cao Shuang was a resourceful person like Sima Yi, then according to the conditions at that time, Sima Yi only controlled the imperial city and was not Cao Shuang's opponent.

Sima Yi regardless of experience and momentum is incompetent, Cao Shuang can't be compared, even if Sima Yi controls a small part, in the prestige and power at that time, the weak Cao Shuang is also shaken and unlucky, Sima Yi essentially sees through him with the scriptures, he can't do big things at all, and he is an unsuccessful person. Shuang is an incompetent person, he cried all night, reluctant to his family, and pinned his hopes on Sima Yi, thinking that he would not be a killer, but would just go to his post. After returning home, he was besieged, and he borrowed food, saying that Taifu would not harm him.

In fact, Sima Yi is a veteran of boiling eagles, and the army is actually under his control, and some unconvinced people have no excuse to oppose it, and they cannot make waves.

Cao Shuang is too kind. We all know that after the death of Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, Cao Fang was appointed as the emperor, and at this time Cao Shuang was the general of Cao Wei, both Chinese and foreign military, and he was in charge of the world. The second is that Cao Shuang has no big strategy.

Cao Shuang couldn't hold the Cao Wei regime, even if Cao Shuang was in power, the reason why he hadn't been able to fight Sima Yi was that Cao Shuang couldn't win the hearts of the people.

First of all, Sima Shi raised many "dead soldiers", these people were the core force of Sima Yi's coup, and if there was no little strength, it would be impossible to succeed.

Cao Shuang set aside Sima Yi, and at the same time emptied the power of others, he had to take the emperor with him when he went hunting, which shows how arrogant he is. Limited power cannot satisfy everyone, and in the Wei State under Cao Shuang's rules, there are many people who are suppressed like Sima Yi.

Sima Yi staged a coup d'état, falsely claiming to be "called", and many people turned to Sima Yi, and many people took a wait-and-see attitude, while the three Cao Shuang brothers were outside the city. Although Sima Yi had no military power and could not mobilize troops, he blocked the connection between inside and outside the city. Cao Shuang has military power, but he can't enter the city, which is equivalent to losing military power, which becomes a confrontation with considerable "strength".

One side controlled the emperor and the other controlled the imperial city. Both sides do not have the "strength" to control the situation, and if they continue to hold each other, it is likely that there will be variables, but Cao Shuang quickly agreed to Sima Yi's conditions and surrendered, which is where everyone thinks that Cao Shuang's brothers are incompetent.

You have military power, Mao Weiren said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

Although Sima Yi is only with a nominal Taifu, he has been fighting for many years, and most of the grassroots generals in the army come from his subordinates. It was Sima Yi who carried out the coup, not Taifu. Sima Yi is not even a Taifu, and he can carry out a coup d'état by relying on his influence in the army.

Just like Chiang Kai-shek's lower field, he can influence the political situation.

Cao Shuang is incompetent, and he has the ability to replace him.

After the Cao Shuang brothers were dismissed, they returned to the mansion as a marquis, and Sima Yi set up a tall building in the fourth corner of Cao Shuang's mansion and ordered people to monitor it day and night. Cao Shuang's brother was not at ease, so he claimed that he was not eating enough and asked Sima Yi for food; Later, Sima Yi sent food, and the Cao Shuang brothers were very happy, thinking that Sima Yi would not be wiped out. But soon after, Huangmen Zhangdang, who had a close relationship with Cao Shuang's brothers, had to confess that Cao Shuang, He Yan and others intended to rebel under Sima Yi's torture.

So the Cao Shuang brothers and their cronies were all **, and on the tenth day of the first month (February 9) of the first month, they were slaughtered together.

Both of them want to dominate and surrender at will to avoid future troubles.

Cao Shuang is incompetent, and he has the ability to replace him.

First: Cao Shuang directly threatened him and tried to deprive him of power;

Second: He is a veteran of the Four Dynasties and has nothing to do with his killing of Cao Shuang, after all, he did not usurp the throne until he died;

Third: Cao Shuang was originally incompetent, and in order to temporarily preserve the Wei State, he regained his military power;

Fourth: to intimidate the emperor and ensure his status;

People are ambitious, and the Cao family has replaced them.

In fact, he seized power first, then imprisoned Cao Shuang, and then killed Cao Shuang.

seized power and was worried that Cao Shuang would make a comeback, so he killed him.

The seizure of power is, of course, for his descendants to be able to replace Cao Wei as emperor in the future.

There is no special reason, there is no need to ask, everything is a struggle for power, everyone has ambitions, Sima Yi is no exception, but he can bear it, I don't know if he is really loyal to Cao Wei in the early stage, but he must be disloyal in the later stage, otherwise it is impossible to rebel, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rui The three monarchs are not stupid, and their cronies and generals are still there, and their own power has not developed, at this time the rebellion will not succeed, so endure until Cao Shuang, and the success rate is the greatest when the rebellion is greatest.

。。。Hungry,,, you are specifically asking questions, and you don't care about anything,,, admiration.

After Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, Sima Yi was squeezed out by Cao Shuang and promoted to the prince with no real power. In the first ten years (249), Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang to accompany Cao Fang to leave Luoyang to Gaopingling to worship the mausoleum, and staged a coup d'état and took control of Luoyang, Kyoto. Since then, Cao Wei's military power has fallen into the hands of the Sima clan, which is known as the Gaopingling Change.

1. The change of Gao Pingling:

1. Sima attacked.

In the first month of the first ten years (249 AD), the young emperor Cao Fang paid homage to the tomb of Emperor Wei Ming in Gaoping Mausoleum, and the Cao Shuang brothers and their cronies went with him.

Sima Yi ordered in the name of Empress Dowager Guo to close the gates of the city, lead troops to occupy the arsenal, and send troops out of the city to guard the Luoshui pontoon bridge; ordered Situ Gaorou to hold the ministry of the ** general and occupy Cao Shuang's camp; The prince Wang Guan ** led the army ministry and occupied the Cao Xi camp.

Cao Shuang got Sima Yi's piece and did not inform Cao Fang; But he was overwhelmed by the embarrassment, so he left Cao Fang's car in the south of Yishui, cut down trees to build fortifications, and dispatched thousands of Tuntian soldiers to protect them.

Sima Yi sent Chen Tai, a scholar of Xu Yun and Gaoyang, to persuade Cao Shuang, telling him that he should surrender and confess his sins as soon as possible; He also sent Yin Damu, the lieutenant lieutenant of the palace that Cao Shuang trusted, to tell Cao Shuang that he was just removing him from his official position, and swore by pointing at Luo Shui.

2. Cao Shuang surrendered.

After the Cao Shuang brothers returned home, Sima Yi sent soldiers from Luoyang to surround Cao's mansion and guard it day and night; High-rise buildings were erected at the four corners of the mansion, and people were sent upstairs to monitor the movements of Cao Shuang's brothers.

If Cao Shuang went to the back garden with a slingshot, the people upstairs shouted: "So the general went to the southeast." It made Cao Shuang depressed, and he didn't know what to do.

Wuxu, there is a secretary who reported: "Huangmen Zhang Dang privately gave the selected talents to Cao Shuang, suspecting that there was a hidden conspiracy between them. So Zhang Dang was arrested and handed over to Tingwei for interrogation and verification.

Zhang Dang confessed: "Cao Shuang and Shangshu He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Sili Captain Bi Rail, Jingzhou Assassin Li Sheng and others conspired to rebel, and waited until mid-March to start an incident."

So Cao Shuang, Cao Xi, Cao Xun, He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Bi Rail, Li Sheng, Huan Fan and others were arrested and imprisoned, and they were impeached by the court for the crime of rebellion, and they were all exterminated along with Zhang Dang.

2. Historical Evaluation:

Because of this coup, Sima Yi eliminated the power of the Cao clan led by Cao Shuang in the court, and the power of the Cao clan became weaker and weaker, and the Sima clan was able to completely grasp the power, control the Cao Wei dynasty, gradually eliminate the forces that supported the Cao family, and advance towards the goal of usurping the Cao Wei regime, laying the foundation for the future Sima Yan Dynasty Wei Lijin.

In the first ten years (249 AD), Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang to accompany Cao Fang from Luoyang to Gaopingling to sweep the grave, raised a coup d'état and took control of Kyoto. Since then, the military power of Cao Wei has fallen into the hands of the Sima clan, which is known as the Gao Pingling Incident.

After the Gao Pingling Incident, Cao Shuang's political status declined rapidly, and the Sima family held the power of Shu and began to seek power and usurp the throne.
