In the Kingdom of Wei, Cao Pi, the leader of Wei, learned that Yu Yi had ascended the throne and became emperor. He was very angry and prepared to send troops to attack, but was dissuaded by everyone. After several failures, Cao Pi had to develop peacefully and seek opportunities to drive a wedge between Xi Shu and Soochow. Sima Yi fell into a state of silence. He also knew the difficulties after Yu Yi ascended to the throne of God. He was waiting for new power and prepared a complete plan to completely defeat Yu Yi and separate him from the time and space of the Three Kingdoms. In this way, after Cao Pi deposed Emperor Xian, he developed on the throne for seven years. In the fourth year of Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty, he first took in his wife Zhen Mi, who was the concubine of Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi. Zhen Mi was a famous beauty in Jizhou. After Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu, he entered Yuan Shao's lair and brought his troops to Yuan Xi's mansion. He went there just for Zhen Mi. However, his son Cao Pi got there first. As a good wife, his hobby was inherited. Cao Cao himself did this, and even more so. There was no way to blame his son, so he gave up the plan. Later, Cao Pi and Zhen Mi gave birth to a son, named Cao Rui, with the courtesy name Yuan Zhong. Perhaps he inherited excellent genes and he was very smart since he was a child. Later, Cao Pi brought Anping to Anping. The daughter of Guo Yong, a native of Guangzong, was adopted as a noble concubine. She was also a beautiful woman. His father often emphasized to Cao Pi, saying: "My daughter is the king among women." So she was called the queen. Cao Pi liked Guo Nu because of Guo Nu. He chased her after him, and there was no other man before him. Zhen Mi was snatched to show his status. Although she was extremely beautiful, Cao Pi had no real feelings for her, so when Guo Nu came to power, Afterwards, Zhen Mi immediately fell out of favor.
Zhen Mi was beautiful, had a very strong temper, and was not good at observing words and pleasing others, so she always looked aloof. After she fell out of favor, this effect was amplified, making Cao Pi hate her even more, which created an opportunity for Concubine Guo. , so she planned to murder Zhen Mi and discussed it with her subordinate Zhang Tao. At that time, Cao Pi happened to be ill. Zhang Tao went to report to Cao Pi, saying that Cao Pi was ill because Zhen Mi had a grudge and made a paulownia puppet on it. He wrote the content and pricked the puppet with silver needles every day to relieve his hatred, which made Cao Pi often sick.
Cao Pi originally had a bad impression of Zhen Mi. When he heard about this incident, he became even more angry. He didn't even find any evidence, so he asked Zhen Mi to drink poisonous wine and commit suicide. To defend herself, she drank the poisoned wine and died on the spot. When she died, she seemed to feel an unprecedented relief.
Although Guo Guifei killed Zhen Mi, she still failed to achieve her goal because she was originally ill and had sex with Cao Pi many times, but she could not give birth to a boy and a half girl. She had no choice but to adopt Cao Rui as her adopted son. She cherished him very much, but was afraid of Cao Rui's revenge, so she did not make him the prince.
When Cao Rui was fifteen years old, he was already proficient in bows and arrows and riding horses. In February of that year, Cao Pi took Cao Rui out for hunting and came to a mountain forest. They happened to see two fawns, a mother and her son. He shot an arrow with his bow and killed the doe. Looking back, he saw that the fawn had run up to Cao Rui and shouted, "Why don't you shoot it to death?"
After hearing this, Cao Rui burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty has already shot his mother to death, how can I bear to kill her son again?"
After hearing this, Cao Pi put his bow and arrow on the ground and sighed: "My son is really a kind and virtuous man!" So he named Cao Rui King of Pingyuan.
In the summer of May of that year, Cao Pi suddenly felt that his condition was serious and had recurring attacks. Doctors could not cure him. Someone persuaded him, "I heard that the miracle doctor Hua Tuo had an apprentice, who was Yu Yi. Why don't you send someone to ask him how to cure him?" "
After hearing this, Cao Pi was furious and said, "Yu Yi is the emperor of Western Shu and has a deep hatred for me. How could he come to heal me?" So he killed the minister who made the suggestion. In fact, although Yu Yi is an emperor, he also abides by the medical ethics of a doctor. If someone tells Yu Yi to treat Cao Pi's condition, he might really cure him. Of course, this is a matter for later.
Cao Pi felt that he was about to die soon, so he summoned General Cao Zhen of the Chinese Army, General Chen Qun of the Zhen Army, and General Sima Yi of the Fu Army. He also called Cao Rui, pointed at Cao Zhen and others: "Now I He is already seriously ill and has no chance to recover. My son is still very young. The three of you must do your best to help and don't let me down."
The three of them said together: "Why does Your Majesty say that? We are all willing to do our best to help His Majesty until His Majesty lasts forever."
Cao Pi explained: "This year the Xuchang city gate collapsed without warning. This is an unknown sign. I know it means that I will die soon. Please stop talking about it." While he was speaking, the chamberlain played a note to General Zhengdong. Cao Xiu entered the palace to greet him.
Cao Pi called him in and said: "You are all the pillars of the country. If you can work together to help my son, then I will rest in peace even if I die!" After saying this, tears flowed down his face. He was just over forty at that time. After reigning for seven years, Cao Zhen, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Cao Xiu, etc., while mourning, supported Cao Rui as the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty. His father Cao Pi was posthumously named Emperor Wen, his mother Zhen Mi was named Empress Wen Zhao, and Zhong Yao was granted the title of Empress Wen Zhao. Taifu, Cao Zhen is the general, Cao Xiu is the great Sima, Hua Xin is the Taiwei, Wang Lang is the Situ, Chen Qun is the Sikong, and Sima Yi is the hussar general. The rest of the civil and military officials were given the title of grant, and each received a grant. Amnesty to the world.
As early as the time of Cao Cao, Sima Yi had bet his money on Cao Pi. In order to compete with Cao Zhi, Sima Yi gave Cao Pi many ideas and achieved good results. Cao Pi also obeyed Sima Yi's words. However, after Cao Pi ascended the throne, , someone made a small report to Cao Pi and asked Cao Pi to guard against Sima Yi, so the relationship between the two faded away. Cao Pi also felt that as an emperor, he always followed Sima Yi's advice, which seemed to have no independent opinion and no face, so he began to stay away from Sima Yi. After Cao Pi died, Sima Yi felt that the opportunity had come again. In order to defeat Yu Yi, he not only needed to mobilize resources, but also searched for strength everywhere.
At that time, Yong and Liang provinces lacked prefects. Sima Yi observed the sky at night and found that there was power hidden there. He took this opportunity to report to the new emperor and asked to transfer himself to guard places like Xiliang so that he could observe the situation in Xishu. Cao Cao Rui immediately agreed, so he appointed Sima Yi as the commander-in-chief of the troops in Yong, Liang and other places to guard the area.
In Xishu, after the banquet was held, everything returned to normal. Martial arts schools and literary schools enrolled students one after another, creating a good atmosphere for talent selection and training in Sichuan. Prime Minister Kong Ming improved the decree, and the economy and society developed. , the people's life became more prosperous, and the women in Yuyi's harem also gave birth to children one after another. Huang Ruier gave birth to a boy, Zhang Nu, Xiaolan, and Xiaoju gave birth to girls, and Zhang Xiaoya was also pregnant. Everything was peaceful. As for An Meiqin, who had been in contact with Yuyi, committed suicide in the palace. It turned out that Yuyi ordered to use his own methods to repay the other person's hand, and fed An Meiqin, other Jiangyang beauties and Liu Ming aphrodisiacs, but Liu Ming did not expect Her physical condition was very poor and she bled to death the next day. An Meiqin felt very guilty and committed suicide next to Liu Ming.
