Chapter 115 Ding Mis arrogance and the situation in the Cao Wei court!
During the Taihe period, he often stayed in other people's empty houses in Yecheng. Other princes and kings from Cao and Wei also took a fancy to this house. They didn't know that Ding Mi had already moved in in advance, so they just pushed the door open and entered.
When Ding Mi saw the king of princes, he lay with his legs crossed and could not get up. He also asked his servant who was coming and asked him to stay where he could cool off. The king of princes was very angry and told Cao Rui. Cao Rui thought that Ding Mi was Convicted and imprisoned in Yecheng,
In the end, I still think of him as the son of a hero, and the trouble he caused wasn't too big, he was just a little arrogant.
After all, he occupied this room first. There is always a first-come, first-served basis in everything. He also had a certain rule, so he was released after being educated.
Cao Rui actually didn't know Ding Mi very well at first, but through this incident he learned that Ding Mi was Ding Fei's son. Ding Fei had a good relationship with his grandfather, and since he had a good reputation, he named Ding Mi his title. Duzhi Langzhong.
At that time, the military guard general Cao Shuang had a good relationship with Ding Mi, and he repeatedly recommended him to Cao Rui, saying that Ding Mi could be of great use. Before the edict came, Cao Rui died.
Cao Shuang assisted the government and promoted Ding Mi to be a regular servant of Sanqi, and soon he was promoted to minister. At this time, Ding Mi's shortcomings were exposed. He seemed to be a rough man on the outside, but he was a jealous villain in his heart. It also offended many people,
If people like them completely break away from Cao Shuang's protection, then they will be dead. After all, Cao Shuang's family is the only one in the Wei Dynasty now, and there is no longer any constraint from the Sima family's traitors.
When he was in the Taichung cabinet, Ding Mi had the most troubles, and they were all done out of hand. Impeaching others was a common occurrence. Others in Taichung were very troubled by this matter, which resulted in many things being unable to be communicated and implemented.
Among Cao Shuang's advisers, although He Yan, Deng Yang and Ding Mi had the same status, He Yan and Deng Yang did not like to play with Ding Mi.
So what is Ding Mi's survival method? Of course he curry favor with Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang also listened to Ding Mi's advice. Of course, that was Cao Shuang before the Gaoping Ling Incident, and now Cao Shuang has to filter his suggestions. Just fine.
And Cao Shuang now only lets him be in charge of the school affairs office. As for the power of the Taiwan Affairs Office, he has slowly been removed from his hands, so that he can no longer bring trouble to Cao Shuang's improving reputation.
After all, as he became increasingly powerful in the Wei Dynasty, he could no longer treat the officials in the court harshly just because his subordinates relied on his favor.
And once again attracting most of the courtiers to be dissatisfied with Cao Shuang, it will quickly collapse the foundation he has finally established. In this era full of variables,
Even if a "variable" like Cao Shuang wants to turn the tide again, it still depends on whether others still look down on him like Sima Yi did, launching an offensive when he was not well prepared.
How about giving him the chance to become the prime minister of Wei who had already grown up and put down the rebellion of four dynasties veterans, and put down the Wu region in the north of the Yangtze River within a few months, so that he could turn defeat into victory?
Cao Shuang cannot rely on luck every time to defeat his competitors inside and outside the Wei Dynasty. After all, not every time he is in trouble, there will be luck like the Gaopingling Incident.
The strength and wisdom Cao Shuang has shown now are no match for a scheming man like Sima Yi, and he fell into his hands.
He is also assisted by Bo Lingjun, who is known as the daughter of the Great Wei Zhuge, Deng Ai and others. He is about to marry Wang Sikong and marry the daughter of the Wang family. His power in the Great Wei will be greatly increased.
And the status of the Prime Minister of the Wei Dynasty is lower than that of one person and above ten thousand people. In the past, Cao Shuang only controlled the military power of the Wei Dynasty, but in terms of political affairs, Sima Yi and his colleagues shared the power equally.
For example, the New Policy of the Wei Dynasty, which included the selection of officials of the ninth rank, was created by Sima Yi, Chen Qun and other veterans. At that time, Cao Shuang was still a young boy. In the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wen Cao Pi had the final say.
His father, Cao Zidan, Sima Yi, Chen Qun and others were in power. It was not until after his father's death that he was supported by the late emperor Cao Rui to counter Sima Yi, who looked down upon the wolf.
It was only after the death of the late emperor that he was able to compete with Sima Yi and others in a separate court. It has been ten years now, and his position in the Wei Dynasty has become more and more stable. Gao, people dare not underestimate Cao Shuang anymore, thinking that he is just a brave and foolhardy person.
But we need to be cautious. If we want to deal with him, we need to spend more time and make more preparations. After all, many courtiers in the Wei Dynasty have their hearts drawn back by Cao Shuang.
It will almost never happen again that Sima Yi was unprepared and underestimated Cao Shuang like before. After all, everyone is already in a high position.
Unless it is absolutely necessary at the last moment, one will not easily put his wealth and life on the line in exchange for higher power.
Because it is extremely difficult for people sitting in high positions to climb to such high positions. No one wants to be able to securely maintain their current power.
Take great risks to get a higher position, but there are a few exceptions, like Sima Yi, mostly because he is old and doesn't have much time left.
At that time, Cao Shuang was still a mediocre and incompetent man who only knew how to enjoy himself and favor others. With Sima Yi's ability and means, he could take a risk, and the chance of winning was quite high.
But now, only half a year has passed. Cao Shuang's abilities and methods are no longer the same as those of the previous days. He is not so easy to deal with.
At that time, Zhenhou Zhenwen had no intention of getting rid of Cao Shuang. After all, the Wei Dynasty at that time had two auxiliary ministers standing side by side, and the situation between the DPRK and China was still in a state of balance.
Even if the balance of power later tilted slightly towards Cao Shuang, no one dared to act rashly. After all, Cao Rui left only two assistant ministers to his adopted son Cao Fang, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi. They checked and balanced each other, jointly assisted the new king of Wei, and looked for opportunities to complete the task. The great cause of unifying the world.
If any one of the two of them is touched, it will also arouse the fear of the people on the other end of the scale, and they will also look for opportunities to kick out the new person.
Using the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind to achieve the goal of monopolizing the military and political power of the Wei Dynasty will be detrimental to this new person.
It would be better to find an opportunity to take action after the two auxiliary ministers decide the winner. Then the situation will be more favorable to you and the situation will be clearer.
This was completely unimaginable when Cao Rui took the throne. After all, at that time, Cao Pi appointed four auxiliary ministers in one go, namely Sima Yi, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Chen Qun.
Two of them were relatives of Cao Wei. Although Chen Qun had a good relationship with Sima Yi and was from the famous Yingchuan Chen family, he was still loyal to the Wei Dynasty, even though he was deceived by Sima Yi...
