Sima Zhao said: "Your poem about Qianlong treats us as loaches and eels. What kind of etiquette is this?"
After being told his true thoughts, he could not defend himself and could only remain silent. Sima Zhao sneered and left the hall. Everyone was silent. After Cao Mao returned to the harem, he summoned the three servants Wang Shen, Shangshu Wang Jing and Sanqi Changshi Wang Ye to discuss.
Cao Mao cried loudly: "Sima Zhao is planning to rebel. This is what everyone has guided us to do. I can't be insulted like this anymore. You can help me to defeat him!"
Wang Jing advised: "No, Lu Zhaogong couldn't stand the Ji family before, so he left the country after his failure. Now Sima Zhao has been in power for a long time, and he is his people both inside and outside. He does not follow the principle of rebellion and relies on There are many people who commit this female thief, and His Majesty's guards are all weak people who will not really sacrifice their lives. If Your Majesty cannot tolerate it, then the disaster will be great. We can only slowly think of ways to avoid making mistakes. "
After hearing this, Cao Mao was very disappointed and said angrily: "This matter has reached the point where I can't bear it. I have made a decision. What's the point of fearing death?" After saying that, he went to find the Queen Mother.
Wang Chen and Wang Ye sighed: "Things have reached a critical situation. We cannot cause the disaster of genocide. We should go to Sima Zhao's mansion to explain the situation and request to be spared death."
After hearing this, Wang Jing was very angry and said angrily: "The Lord is worried, as a minister, you should feel insulted. The Lord has been humiliated, and the minister is about to die. How can you have two minds?"
Seeing that Wang Jing was so upright, the two of them didn't say much and just went to Sima Zhao's residence to report.
Soon after, Cao Mao walked out of the inner hall and asked his guard Jiao Bo to gather the existing guards, about three hundred people, shouting and beating drums. He personally took out his sword and prepared to leave the South Pavilion to attack Sima Zhao. Wang Jing knelt in front of him and cried loudly: "Now your Majesty only leads a few hundred people to attack Sima Zhao. He is leading the sheep into the tiger's mouth. This is an act of dying in vain. I am not afraid of death. I am doing this for sure." It won’t work!”
Cao Mao said, "The army under my leadership has already set off for the expedition. Don't stop me anymore." So he ignored the obstruction and took 300 people to Yunlongmen.
Because someone reported the news in advance, Jia Chong put on his armor, with Cheng Zu on the left and Cheng Ji on the right. They came with thousands of armored guards and shouted. Cao Mao took the lead and shouted: "I am the current Wei State." Son of Heaven, do you want to kill me when you bring your troops here like this?"
After hearing this, the Imperial Guards did not dare to step forward. Jia Chong called Cheng Ji in front of him and asked, "Why did Sima Gong raise you? Just to deal with today's situation."
Cheng Ji quickly understood the intention, took out his iron halberd, turned back to Jia Chong and said, "Then shall I kill him, or shall I capture him alive?"
He replied: "Sima Gong gave an order, as long as you die."
So Cheng Ji came directly in front of Cao Mao. When Cao Mao saw it, he was a little scared and shouted: "How dare a common man be so rude?" Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Ji's iron halberd had already hit him and stabbed him. Before anyone could react, they saw the iron halberd coming out of the belly again, and blood was flowing on the spot. Jiao Bo came to fight with his gun, but Cheng Ji stabbed him to death with his backhand. When everyone saw this, they fled the scene one after another.
Wang Jing arrived later and saw that His Majesty had been killed by the thieves. He was very angry and cursed Jia Chong: "The traitor dared to murder the king!"
Jia Chong was furious after hearing this, and directly asked his left and right men to come forward and tie him up, and reported it to Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao arrived at the scene and saw Cao Mao stabbed to death at the scene. He deliberately pretended to be very surprised and hit his rider with his head. I couldn't afford to cry bitterly, but when I cried, I didn't forget to ask the soldiers to inform other ministers.
At this time, Taifu Sima Fu walked into the palace and saw the body of Lord Wei. He knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Whoever kills your majesty is all my fault!" So he asked the soldiers to use Cao Mao's body to kill him. The finished coffin was packed and placed on the west side of the main hall.
Sima Zhao entered the palace and summoned the ministers for discussion. All the ministers arrived, but Chen Tai, the minister's servant, did not come. Sima Zhao asked his uncle, the minister Xunyi, to summon him. Chen Tai cried loudly: "Those who are discussing, Compare me with my uncle, but actually he is not as good as me." So he went in wearing mourning clothes and cried in front of the spirit.
Sima Zhao also pretended to cry and asked, "How should we deal with today's incident?"
. "
Chen Tai said: "Only by killing Jia Chong can we judge the people of the world."
Sima Zhao thought for a moment and thought that Jia Chong was his close minister and it was not easy to kill him. Besides, his magic skills were not perfect yet and some things needed to be taken care of by him, so he asked again: "Is there no other way? "
Chen Tai sighed: "There is only this solution to this matter, there is no other."
Sima Zhao said: "This is Cheng Ji's treason. Many people saw him step forward and assassinate the leader of Wei. He could kill him and destroy the three clans."
Cheng Ji realized that everything was a trap, but it was too late, but he cursed Sima Zhao: "This is not my fault, it is Jia Chong who faked your order."
Sima Zhao was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he used his mental power to control Cheng Ji. Then he saw Cheng Ji whining there all the time, unable to say a word. Sima Zhao still felt that he was very noisy, so he had Cheng Ji put away. His tongue was also cut out, leaving Cheng Ji in tears. He was pushed down the market and scraped to death with random knives. His younger brother was also implicated and beheaded together in the market. All three tribes were wiped out. .
After Cheng Ji was killed, Sima Zhao sent people to take Wang Jing's whole family to prison. Wang Jing was being tried at Tingwei Yamen. Suddenly he saw his mother being tied up. He immediately bowed his head and cried. : "The son is unfilial and has hurt his mother!"
My mother laughed and said, "What if someone doesn't die? I'm just afraid that I won't get a proper death. If you give up your life for loyalty, you won't have any regrets!"
On the second day, Wang Jing's family was also escorted to the market. The mother and son were tortured with smiles on their faces, and the wealthy families in the city shed tears.
In order to test his sorcery, Sima Zhao also personally watched at the market. After seeing the axe-hand beheading the head, a surge of resentment surged to the sky. He immediately used sorcery to incorporate it into his body, thus enriching his own strength.
Taifu Sima Fu requested that Cao Mao be buried with royal rites. Sima Zhao nodded and agreed. Jia Chong and others took the opportunity to persuade Sima Zhao to directly register as the emperor of Wei.
Sima Zhao sighed: "Previously, King Wen of Zhou had three parts of the world, and he already occupied two parts. He still served Yin, so the saint praised his virtue. Emperor Wu of Wei refused to depose Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and established himself as emperor. Just like I am willing to do it." It’s like the Wei State proclaims itself emperor.”
In fact, Sima Zhao had the intention of proclaiming himself emperor. Later, Nanhua Immortal persuaded him that the most important thing was to find a way to break the protective shield of ancient books and eliminate Yu Yi. Only in this way can he permanently occupy the entire time and space, and only then can he be the eternal king, so Sima Zhao did not take any action despite everyone's persuasion. He also wanted to pave the way for his son.
Jia Chong also knew what Sima Zhao meant and knew that he wanted to give the throne to his son, so he did not continue to persuade him. In June, Sima Zhao made Cao Huang, Duke of Changdao Township, emperor. In the first year of Jingyuan, Huang changed his name to Cao Huan. Named Jingming, he was the grandson of Cao Cao and the son of King Cao Yu of Yan. Cao Huang made Sima Zhao the Prime Minister and Duke of Jin. He was rewarded with hundreds of thousands of money and countless silks. All civil and military officials were also rewarded.
