Chapter 52: The past events of Shu Han's seizure of power, Sima Yi's plot to regain power
Chengdu, the heart of the Shu Han Dynasty, was also extremely hot in the afternoon, and the sound of cicadas chirping around the Taifu Mansion was endless...
Although this Taifu's Mansion is not as good as the Taifu's Mansion in Cao Wei, after all, the national power of the Shu Han Dynasty and the importance that the Shu Han Emperor paid to him, Sima Yi, were not as good as those of the previous Wen Emperor Cao Pi and Ming Emperor Cao Rui of the Wei Dynasty.
After all, there are several important officials of the Shu Han under his leadership. For example, the actual prime minister of the Shu Han, the general, and the Marquis of Chengxiang, Fei Yi, are actually the number one person in the Shu Han now.
When Zhuge Liang was alive, Fei Yi served successively as the Minister of Huangmen, the Colonel of Zhaoxin, and the Sima of the Prime Minister's Office. He worked in the court and the Prime Minister's Office successively, and was highly regarded by Zhuge Liang.
In 246, Jiang Wan died of illness, and Fei Yi actually became the most powerful minister in the Shu Han Dynasty.
Of course, the rights of Jiang Wan and Fei Yi were not smoothly handed over to them after Zhuge Liang's death.
It was only after two setbacks that power came into the hands of Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun.
The first battle is the so-called "Wei Yan's Rebellion" incident. Wei Yan has a long character, he is extremely brave, loves his soldiers, and has made many military exploits since he followed Liu Bei to Sichuan.
He made many meritorious deeds during the Northern Expedition. He was worshiped as a former military advisor and a general in the Western Expedition. He was also granted the power of holiday. At this time, Wei Yan could be said to be the number one general of the Shu Han Dynasty. His status in the Shu Han army was second only to Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
.
However, Wei Yan was a proud man, quite like Guan Yunchang back then. People understood Wei Yan's character, so they all gave way to him. At this time, he only obeyed Zhuge Liang in the Shu Han army.
However, there is one person who does not take Wei Yan seriously, and that person is Yang Yi!
The relationship between Wei Yan and Yang Yi was very bad, and they were at odds with each other. Wei Yan even pulled out his sword and made a move to kill Yang Yi.
Zhuge Liang was also very troubled by this, because Yang Yi and Wei Yan were his right-hand men and his right-hand men in the Northern Expedition.
He once said something like this: "Xi Yi's talent, combined with Wei Yan's bravery, always hates the injustice between the two and cannot bear to be partial to others."
Before Wu Zhangyuan died of illness, Zhuge Liang explained the order of change of power: Jiang Wan could be appointed prime minister, and after Jiang Wan, Fei Yi.
However, after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan and Yang Yi were the first to compete for the power of the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. Therefore, the conflict between Wei Yan and Yang Yi completely broke out.
Wei Yan believed that although Prime Minister Zhuge Liang died of illness, I, Wei Yan, was still here. "My relatives and officials can carry out the funeral. I should lead the army to attack the thieves. How can one person die and destroy the world?"
In addition, Wei Yan was also dissatisfied with the task of assigning him the task of cutting off the rear, "Who is Wei Yan? He should be under Yang Yi's command and be the general of the rear!" So Wei Yan led his army to burn down the plank road and rush to Hanzhong.
Wei Yan and Yang Yi both wrote to their lord Liu Chan, accusing each other of treason, and Wei Yan was eventually killed.
The second power struggle can also be said to be a continuation of the first one. Yang Yi thought that by killing Wei Yanhou, the actual power of the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty would smoothly fall into the hands of him, the Chief of the Prime Minister's Office, but the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole stalked the cicada. Behind him, there is a yellow bird named Jiang Wan behind him!
Yang Yi, also known as Wei Gong, was originally a meritorious officer of Guan Yu. He was later ordered to go to Chengdu to perform affairs, and was appreciated by Liu Bei, so he stayed in Chengdu.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Yang Yi, as the chief historian, was responsible for the planning work. He "planned the divisions and planned the grain and grain, and it was just a matter of convenience." Therefore, he won Zhuge Liang's high regard.
After killing Wei Yan, although Yang Yi was promoted to the position of military advisor, he had no real power and "had no command, just calmness".
However, Jiang Wan, who was not as qualified as him, was appointed as Shangshu Ling and governor of Yizhou, taking over Zhuge Liang's position.
Yang Yi was very dissatisfied with this and often complained, "Resentment is expressed in voice and color, and the sound of sighing comes from within."
The later master Liu Chan removed Yang Yi from his official position and demoted him to a commoner. However, Yang Yi "wrote a slanderous letter with harsh accusations". The later master sent people to arrest Yang Yi, but Yang Yi committed suicide after hearing the news.
At this point, two internal strife over power after Zhuge Liang's death resulted in the death of two very outstanding advisers and generals, seriously weakening the power of the Shu Han regime.
Sima Yi thought that since they had fought for their power, why not seize power again from Shu Han? Now with the generous gift from the Lord of Wu and the new Wu-Shu alliance, Cao Wei will not send a large army in a short time. The Shu Han wanted to go back and execute him.
After Zhuge Ke and others from the Wu Kingdom had finished the dinner and sent the Wu envoys out, Sima Yiping retired and invited his youngest son Sima Lun to discuss matters in the secret room of the mansion.
Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said in an old voice: "Lun'er, now your second brother has been sent to Yizhou County south of Chengdu as a county guard. The Shu Han are still wary of our Sima family.
Originally, his father wanted him to go to Jianwei County, which is closer to Chengdu, Shu County, but the general Fei Yi and the immortal Deng Zhi both disagreed, so he could only feel wronged.
Let him go to the more remote Yijun County, cough cough cough, but it’s good this way. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he can avoid the eyes and ears of your majesty and the general. It is more convenient for our Sima family to be together in the east mountain of Shuhan!"
Sima Lun showed a look of hatred on his face and said: "Father, my son will never forget the humiliation of our Sima family in the Wei Dynasty. In the future, he will definitely lead his army to the north to fight back to Luoyang and kill Cao Shuang for the sake of his third uncle, eldest brother, mother and the others." Revenge!"
Sima Yi thought for a while and then said: "Lun'er, how are you doing with the dead soldiers your father asked you to train?"
Sima Lun said: "Father, we have secretly recruited 1,500 dead soldiers at Fenghuang Mountain outside the city and are training day and night. It has been quite effective!"
Sima Yi said: "Lun'er, you are very good, but 1,500 people are not enough. There are not many people hidden near Chengdu, and they are easily exposed.
I think we can train more soldiers and horses in the high mountains and dense forests of Yulei Mountain, Pixian County, Mianzhu and other places far away from Chengdu. To be safe this time, at least 10,000 dead soldiers are needed!
Alas, it is a pity that your Uncle Jibu left us on the bank of Luoshui River. We can only rely on ourselves for all this."
Sima Lun looked troubled and said: "My son also knows that more dead soldiers are needed this time, but father, the gold and silver in the house are no longer enough to support the recruitment of more dead soldiers. Today, the envoy of Wu State came to ask my father to be the speaker.
Guest,
It cost a little more to organize the dinner in the mansion, and our Sima family in Yizhou has a weak foundation, and we can't raise so much gold and silver in a short time to support such consumption!"
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Lun'er doesn't have to worry about gold and silver. Lord Wu came to the rescue today, and the gifts he sent were quite generous, especially the two South China Sea luminous pearls as big as a bowl, which are priceless! They are enough for us to recruit others.
Tens of thousands of dead soldiers!"
Sima Lun said happily: "If you give me another year or two, I will be able to train fifteen thousand dead soldiers!"
Sima Yi said: "Ahem, my dear, you should train the dead soldiers faster. Your second brother's father has already told you that he only has a few years left, and he plans to spend the remaining few years.
I did everything I needed to do in a year!"
After Sun and Liu formed an alliance again, Zhuge Ke ordered people to send this good news to Jiangdong Jianye quickly...
