Ding Yi was born in the Ding family of Pei State. The Ding family has been married to the Cao family for generations. Cao Cao's first wife was the Ding family. They divorced due to Cao Ang's unexpected death.
In the early years of Jian'an, Cao Cao wanted to imitate his father and marry Princess Qinghe to Ding Yi, who was both talented and beautiful, so he approached Cao Pi to discuss it, but Cao Pi didn't like Ding Yi and objected because of his small eyes.
Not only did Cao Pi dislike Ding Yi, he also suggested that Cao Cao marry Princess Qinghe to Xiahou Dun's second son, Xiahou Mao.
Later, Cao Cao appointed Ding Yi as the Xi Cao Cao of the Prime Minister's Office. During the conversation, he discovered that Ding Yi was outstanding. Out of admiration, he sighed: "Ding Yi is indeed a rare talent. Even if he is blind, he should marry his daughter, not to mention that she only has eyes." It's a bit small, Zihuan made a mistake on me."
After Ding Yi learned about this, she held a grudge against Cao Pi. When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were competing for the reserve position, she firmly stood with Yang Xiu and became Cao Zhi's supporter.
Yang Xiu was killed and Cao Cao passed away. The Ding brothers had no protector and were depressed all day long.
After Cao Zhi arrived in Yecheng, they came to drink with each other several times. Someone shared the pain, and the pain seemed to be weakened.
Although Cao Zhi is a good drinker, he likes the company of others. Today, he drank by himself, which made the Ding brothers feel strange.
"Why is Zijian so sad? Although the late king has passed away, life must go on..." Ding Yi sat down next to Cao Zhi, and Ding Miao wisely held a cup between the two.
"Is it a formal ceremony or a salute? You just want to get drunk with me and then rest." Cao Zhi sat slumped on the ground.
Ding Yi comforted and said: "The late king was tortured by pain, and now he is relieved. Zijian was too sad to guard the mausoleum during the day. He must cheer up at night. If the late king was alive, he would not want to see you like this..."
"The late king is still alive? If he were still alive, he would definitely kill that beast who ignored human ethics." Cao Zhi said angrily.
"A beast that doesn't care about human relations?" Ding Yi said to herself, and then asked: "Who is Zijian talking about?"
Cao Zhi was drunk and had already forgotten Mrs. Bian's words. He said crazily: "Cao Pi messed up the palace and blatantly brought the concubines of the late king into the harem. How are these actions different from those of animals?"
Ding Yao's eyes widened. Seeing that Cao Zhi's voice was relatively loud, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't believe it if it comes from nothing. Zijian can't make nonsense of this slander against the king."
Cao Zhi broke away and laughed unsteadily: "Nonsense? Why are you talking nonsense? Cao Pi was shameless and dissolute. The Queen Mother noticed it a few days ago and scolded him, 'If a dog or rat doesn't eat you, you will be punished by death.'"
Ding Zhi quickly helped Cao Zhi back to his seat. He was worried about Cao Zhi's performance. He said to Ding Yi: "Brother, the Marquis of Linzi was drunk with grief and said such bizarre words. It may not be good for him in the long run. We have to advise him." He drinks less, after all, this is Yecheng."
Ding Yi shook her head and snorted: "Zijian's wine is very good. Even if he is drunk, he will not talk nonsense. Cao Pi has a father-like style. I think this is most likely true."
"Ah this..." Ding Xi was startled at first, and then sighed: "The previous king also liked women when he was there. Now that Cao Pi has ascended to the throne of Wei, he is violating human ethics, and there is nothing you and I can do about it..."
Ding Yi said with empty eyes: "I don't think so. The former king who passed the throne to him must not have known that he behaved like a pig or a dog. We can contact the ministers in the court and tell everyone about his behavior, and then find a way to abolish Cao Pi, and finally support his son to take the throne." ."
"This matter is not trivial. If it fails, there will be disaster." Ding Yan swallowed his saliva.
"I heard someone talking recently. When the Marquis of Yanling was mourning in Luoyang, he asked Jia Kui for the seal of the late king. If he persuaded Jia Kui to serve as a foreign aid, tried to win over General Wei, and finally asked the Queen Mother to come forward, Cao Pi would abdicate sadly." Ding Yi raised his eyes.
"General Zilian is entrusted with a lonely and important minister. It may not be easy to win him over..." Ding Gong shook his head slightly.
Ding Yi sneered: "General Zi Lian is greedy for money and stingy. I heard that he and Cao Pi had a rift in the early years. You can find someone who can argue with you, and then ask Zijian to promise a heavy reward. This person will definitely be used by Zijian."
After listening to his brother's analysis, Ding Xie felt that he had a bright future, so he added: "As long as we can control the internal and external military power, it is quite possible to force Cao Pi to abdicate, but this matter is not trivial. It is difficult for my two brothers to succeed, and we have to find more." It’s external forces.”
"I don't have to worry about it. Let's have a drink with Zijian today, and then we can plan carefully when we wake up tomorrow." Ding Yi nodded.
"Very good." Ding Yao agreed.
Cao Pi became the Queen of Wei and took complete control of Yecheng. He has been sending people to monitor Cao Zhi's actions. Today, the rumors of the three people have reached Cao Pi's ears word for word.
Cao Pi was in a state of chaos in the harem caused by Empress Dowager Bian, and his mood had already reached its lowest point. When he heard the drunken rants of Cao Zhi, Ding Yi, and Ding Gong, he was furious. He immediately summoned Xu Chu and ordered with a serious face: "General Xu, Cao Zhi, Ding Yi and Ding Gong wanted to do something big, so they were invited overnight for Gu to see what kind of trouble they could make. They are all in Linzihou's other courtyard at this time."
"Wei." Xu Chu responded with clasped fists and led more than a dozen tiger guards straight to Cao Zhi's other courtyard.
Xu Chu and Buqu broke into Cao Zhi's courtyard with open fire. Because the soldiers behaved rudely and made a lot of noise when walking, they woke up Ding Yi and Ding Miao who were lying in Cao Zhi's room.
"In the Linzi Marquis Courtyard, who is not smart enough to dare to disturb us late at night?" Ding Yi put on her robe and cursed loudly.
There was a bang and the door was kicked open.
Ding Yi was still angry at first, but when he saw Xu Chu, who was fully armed, he instantly withered, and asked politely: "General Xu? Why are you here so late at night?"
"Your Majesty invites you, and you should know the reason." Xu Chu replied expressionlessly.
The Ding brothers' eyes widened, and before they could refute, they were controlled by two tiger soldiers.
"Please return, but you are so rude..." Ding Yi shouted while struggling.
"Take it away." Xu Chu shouted sharply.
At this time, Cao Zhi was awakened by Xu Chu's shout. He hurriedly sat up from the couch, rubbed his eyes and asked curiously: "General Xu?"
"Please invite Marquis Linzi, the king wants to see you." Xu Chu was more polite to Cao Zhi than the Ding brothers.
"Huh? Now?" Cao Zhi looked confused.
Xu Chu stretched out his hand to signal, as if he could not refuse, and urged: "Please, Marquis Linzi."
Cao Zhi originally wanted to call his attendants to change his clothes, but Xu Chu didn't give him a chance at all. He randomly put the robe on Cao Zhi, and then he and the tiger guards escorted them to the palace of Wei.
The main hall of the Wei Palace in Yecheng was still brightly lit after midnight. Cao Pi ordered a large cauldron to be placed in the palace. The firewood under the cauldron burned so that the bronze base glowed slightly red.
The three of them were escorted to the palace. Ding Yi and Ding Yao had something in their minds. They were frightened when they saw the big cauldron. They didn't know what Cao Pi was planning, but Cao Zhi held his head high and was not afraid at all.
Cao Pi banged on the table and snorted meaningfully: "You and others are conspiring late at night to overthrow the Wei Dynasty. Is that true?"
"We just saw the Marquis of Linzi sad and drank with him for a while. I wonder what the king meant by this?" Ding Yi denied.
"Zijian, what's your excuse?" Cao Pi frowned.
