After Cao Rui's death, Lu Rui stayed in Luoyang for a year, then asked Cao Rui to resign due to physical discomfort, left Luoyang City, and returned to Xudu to recuperate. This recuperation lasted for eight years. The court of Cao Wei was in turmoil, and Cao Shuang and Sima Yi became the darlings of the court. Cao Shuang relied on the advantage of the Cao clan to unite with the Xiahou family to suppress Sima Yi. Sima Yi was forced to stay in Luoyang, and military power was handed over to his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. After Cao Shuang took over the power, he put Emperor Wei in a high cabinet and took over the power, becoming the only person in the court. Sima Yi secretly accumulated strength in Luoyang and tried to make a comeback. In the early spring of 249 AD, at the residence of Taifu Xu, Lu Rui came to the study on crutches. "Master Taifu, everything is ready." Xu Fang handed a bottle of potion to Lu Rui. Lu Rui took the potion and drank it in one gulp. The next day, news of Lu Rui's death came to Tutor Xu's house. In Luoyang Palace, Cao Fang received the news of Lu Rui's death. "The death of Marquis Wenxin is a great disaster for the country. Why doesn't God protect the Wei Dynasty?!" Cao Fang was stunned after receiving the letter. Originally, Cao Fang had secretly sent an edict to Lu Rui, asking Lu Rui to send troops to serve the king, but Lu Rui didn't wait until Lu Rui arrived. If he takes action, Lu Rui will die? "Your Majesty, Marquis Wenxin is an important minister of the four dynasties, and he is also the adopted son of Emperor Wu and the sister-in-law of Emperor Wen. He has made great contributions to the court. When Marquis Wenxin passes away, Your Majesty should go to Luoyang to pay homage in person." An official suddenly stood up and advised Cao Fang. "This?" Cao Fang looked at Cao Shuang. He had no way to make the final decision above the court. Only Cao Shuang could decide major affairs of the court. "Your Majesty. Marquis Wenxin is an important minister of the country and should go to worship. However, Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of the world. You cannot leave the capital easily. You can send an important minister to Xudu to worship and at the same time transport Marquis Wenxin's body back to Fan County for burial. Let Marquis Wenxin share the same acupuncture point with Her Royal Highness the Princess to comfort the two of them as husband and wife!" Master Sima suddenly stood up and reported to Cao Fang with his hands raised. "What General Sima said is reasonable. I wonder what the general thinks?" Cao Fang has become accustomed to this answer. Now even Sima is afraid of Cao Shuang. Everything must be based on Cao Shuang's opinion. "I think what General Sima said is reasonable. Marquis Wenxin is an important minister of the country. I think that Master Sima, General Sima Zhao and my younger brother Cao Xun should go to Luoyang to pay homage to Marquis Wenxin to show your Majesty's heart!" Cao Shuang raised his hand, He reported back to Cao Fang and transferred Sima Yi's two most capable sons away. He had more important things to do. "Okay, let's follow the general's advice on this matter!" Cao Fang nodded and agreed to Cao Shuang's proposal. After going to court, Cao Shuang¡¯s residence. "Brother, do you really want me to go with Brother Sima to worship my uncle?" Cao Xun hugged the beautiful woman and asked Cao Shuang in confusion. "Uncle has watched us grow up since he was a child. His body has been dragging for many years. Now that he has passed away, we should go to pay homage. You represent your brother and go to see your uncle off for the last time. But more importantly, you want to Monitor the Sima brothers and pay attention to their every move!" Cao Shuang narrowed his eyes. He didn't have the chance to transfer these two brothers, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come to him now. Cao Shuang had a purpose. Cao Shuang was only a nominal descendant of the Cao family. He was not Cao Cao's grandson at all. His father, Cao Zhen, was just Cao Cao's adopted son. Now Cao Fang is weak, and Lu Rui has already faded away from the court, and is now dead. , only Sima Yi is left. As long as Sima Yi is eliminated, Cao Shuang will be the number one person in Cao Wei. "Brother, what do you mean?" "Humph, idiot, the Sima brothers are Sima Yi's two most powerful sons. Now Sima Yi is recuperating at home. As long as his two sons are transferred away, There is no one in Xudu who can check and balance this great general. It will be the anniversary of the death of the late emperor in a while, and your majesty will go to the capital to pay homage to his ancestors. This general takes the opportunity to propose to your majesty that the throne be handed over to me." Cao Shuang smiled slightly! , I have been planning for a long time, this time is a unique opportunity, once the Sima brothers leave, I can completely control Luoyang. "The elder brother is wise, and the younger brother is ashamed of himself!" Cao Xun didn't care who became the emperor at all, but after Cao Shuang became the emperor, he became the emperor's younger brother, with more wealth and more beauties. "Humph, don't laugh and joke all day long. You are going to mourn this time. If you want to go alone, don't take the maid with you. Keep an eye on the two Sima brothers, otherwise I want you to look good for my brother!" "Brother, don't worry, this is all. Leave the matter to my younger brother, and there will be nothing wrong with it!" Cao Xun hugged the beauty, kissed her, and happily agreed to Cao Shuang's request. The next day, Cao Xun followed the Sima brothers to Xudu to pay homage to Lu Rui. Half a month later, on the outskirts of Xudu, Master Sima took out the secret message from a pigeon and handed it to Sima Zhao. "Brother, my father has asked Guo Huai to lead the army from Hanoi to advance towards Luoyang. It's time for us two brothers to return to Luoyang."??. "The Sima brothers stayed in Xudu after paying homage to Lu Rui. Firstly, they wanted to confuse the Cao brothers, and secondly, they were waiting for news about Sima Yi. Sima Yi was very cunning. As long as Lu Rui didn't die, he would never take action. After hearing the news about his two sons, Sima Yi began to make secret arrangements. "Second brother, that idiot should be dealt with. Tonight, we will trick Cao Xun into a brothel in the name of drinking, and then we will do it!" "Master Sima smiled slightly. After playing for so long, he should have killed Cao Xun. "Brother, don't worry, I have already made arrangements. It's up to me tonight! " "kindness! "Master Sima nodded and let the pigeon go, and then he and Sima Zhao went to prepare separately. In the evening, Cao Xun was invited by the Sima brothers to a brothel in Xudu for drinking. When Cao Xun was drunk early in the morning, Master Sima killed Cao Xun. "Huh, what an idiot, so embarrassing to General Cao Zhen! "Master Sima didn't expect to kill Cao Xun with one sword. What a waste. "Brother, everyone else has been dealt with. Let's return to Luoyang to join our father! " "Ha ha ha ha! You two good nephews, since you have come to Xudu, why don't you stay a little longer to accompany me, an old man? ! "When the Sima brothers were happy, a loud old man's voice suddenly came out, which startled the two of them. "L¨¹ Rui?" When Master Sima discovered the speaker, he was stunned. This was actually from some time ago. Lu Rui, who is already dead. "Hey. It seems that Zhongda is not good at raising his son. He dared to call me by his first name when he saw me. It seems that these two sons cannot be kept!" Lu Rui shook his head, and the killer behind him rushed forward and killed Sima with fighting skills. brother. "Master, everything is settled." Xu Fang cut off the heads of the Sima brothers and brought them to Lu Rui. "Okay, Xu Fang, Ming Shang'er will act according to the plan!" Lu Rui took out Cao Fang's secret edict and handed it to Xu Fang. "Yes, my lord!" At the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Luoyang, Cao Fang, under the protection of Cao Shuang, led the ministers to worship the previous emperors of Cao Wei. Cao Shuang was holding a long sword and guarding outside the imperial mausoleum. Cao Shuang had already made up his mind and launched a military revolt on Cao Fang's way back to the city, asking Cao Fang to proclaim himself the King of Wei! Start copying Cao Cao's path. "Brother, big brother, it's bad, Luoyang, Luoyang is lost!" Just as Cao Shuang fantasized about the hope of victory. Cao Xi ran to the imperial mausoleum in a panic and cried to Cao Shuang. "What. What did you say? Tell me clearly!" Cao Shuang grabbed Cao Xi. Why did Sima Yi suddenly take action? Cao Xi tearfully recounted what happened: Early this morning, it was the fifth day that Cao Xi had not received a secret report from Cao Xun. When Cao Xi was confused, one of Cao Xun's soldiers fled back to Luoyang. Tell Cao Xi that Cao Xun has been killed by the Sima brothers. When Cao Xi heard this, of course he knew that Sima had taken action. Cao Xi quickly summoned the soldiers and horses in the mansion to try to control the four gates. However, Sima Yi preceded Cao Xi's troops and, with the assistance of Guo Huai, led the army to defeat Cao Xi's army. The troops took control of Xudu. Cao Xi was released by Sima Yi and came to inform Cao Shuang and asked Cao Shuang to go to Luoyang to accept surrender. Sima Yi promised not to kill Cao Shuang's tribe. "Brother, our family is now in Sima Yi's hands. If eldest brother doesn't make a decision early, I'm afraid the family will be destroyed." Cao Xi looked at Cao Shuang with tears in his eyes. All the clan members were in Sima Yi's hands. Sima Yi had already said harsh words. If Cao Shuang does not surrender tomorrow, his tribe will be killed in droves. "General, you must not return to Luoyang. Sima Yi is a tiger and a wolf and will not have mercy on the general. The general's immediate plan is to lead his majesty to Xudu to carry out Emperor Wu's ambition and take the emperor to order the princes. The general is in Xudu We must gather our troops and fight again in the future. Sima Yi will be defeated!" Cao Shuang's army ally Huan Fan quickly advised Cao Shuang not to be deceived by Sima Yi. "Brother, the clan is all in Sima Yi's hands!" "General, the clan is gone. As long as the general is there, the clan can still prosper. If the general surrenders, even the general will be killed, and then the general clan will no longer exist in the world. , which one is more important, please think twice, general! " "Shuang can't bear the harm to his tribe, and is willing to surrender to Taiwei!" Cao Shuang closed his eyes, it was the lives of hundreds of tribesmen, Cao Shuang did not dare to act recklessly, he could only bet on Sima Yi's mercy. "Huh, beautiful lady Cao Zidan, why did you give birth to a child like this?!" Huan Fan shook his head. Cao Shuang would definitely die if he went back. "How dare you say that to me?!" Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang ordered his men to tie up Heng Fan, and at the same time sent Cao Xi to reply to Sima Yi, saying that he was willing to surrender to Sima Yi tomorrow. Outside Luoyang City, Sima Yi and Guo Huai greeted Cao Fang outside the city. "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Sima Yi smiled and knelt down to Cao Fang. After today, he will be the number one in Cao Wei. "All the ministers and their families are at peace"??! "Cao Fang looked at Sima Yi. From the old lieutenant's eyes, Cao Fang saw someone with more power than Cao Shuang. Could it be that the tiger was driven away from the front and the wolf was caught at the back door? "Thank you, Your Majesty! "Sima Yi and Guo Huai stood up with the soldiers. "Lieutenant, is that? "Suddenly, Guo Huai pointed ahead. A large number of unknown troops were approaching Luoyang. Judging from the direction, they were not reinforcements from the Sima brothers. "What? ! "Sima Yi was stunned, feeling uneasy in his heart. "Zhongda, I haven't seen you for many years. Zhongda's glory is still there. I heard in Xudu that Zhongda has been seriously ill for many days. Why are you so energetic today? "Lu Rui appeared in front of Sima Yi in military uniform. "Uncle? ! "When Cao Shuang saw Lu Rui, he was like seeing a savior. He crawled to the foot of Lu Rui's horse. "Uncle, save my nephew! " "Shuang'er, can you act like a man? It's so embarrassing for Zidan! "Lu Rui shook his head. Cao Shuang was strong on the outside and capable on the outside. He was still a bit heroic when he fought with Sima Yi in the court, but now he is like an idiot when he encounters setbacks. He thought that Cao Zhen was a hero back then, but his son was not a good man. "Bufan, my two sons are now safe. exist? ! "Sima Yi saw Lu Rui and knew that Master Sima and Sima Zhao had met with something unexpected, but Sima Yi still wanted to make a last ditch effort. "Zhongda, these are the heads of your two sons. These two are good at killing royal family members. He has been rectified by Rui. " "Lost, lost, extraordinary, I am old, can you let me die in a dignified way? I will go back to the city and hang myself, but I will not do anything about it. "Sima Yi threw down his whip, dismounted and bowed to Lu Rui. "Zhongda, do you know that there are not many people Rui admires in his life, and Zhongda is one of them. At such a juncture, Zhongda still wants to escape. Want to return to Hanoi and make a comeback? " "Zhongda, don't bother, look behind you! " Sima Yi looked back and saw another army marching towards Luoyang, with a big word "Du" written on the flag! Lu Rui had already arranged for Du Yu to lead the Hedong army to raid Hanoi, kill Sima Yi's third son Sima Ping, and control the army. Hanoi County "Hanoi is in the hands of this general, what else can Zhongda say? ! " " Lu Rui, if you kill my son and destroy my people, I, Sima Yi, will fight with you today! "Sima Yi gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it any longer. He jumped on the horse again and swung his sword to kill Lu Rui. A hero is a hero. Sima Yi still has such courage even before death. It's no wonder he was the wolf Gu Sima! If it had been twenty years earlier, Lu Rui would definitely have He waved his sword to greet him, but he was too old to move. "Wen Yang, take the rebel's head!" "L¨¹ Rui summoned a young general and killed Sima Yi. Since then, Cao Wei's chaos has come to an end. Cao Shuang was demoted to Liuxianghou and sent to guard Cao Zhen's tomb. Sima Yi's three clans were executed, and the Cao Wei regime returned. In the hands of Cao Fang, in 255 AD, Cao Fang sent the cavalry general Lu Wang as commander, leading the generals Jiang Wei to conquer the east, General Deng Ai to conquer the west, General Zhong Hui to conquer the north, and General Du Yu to attack Hebei in four directions. Liu Chan used the people to attack Hebei. As a matter of fact, he ordered Prime Minister Wang Xiang to go to Luoyang and ask for his surrender. Since then, the three kingdoms were reunited. Cao Wei unified the whole country in the hands of Cao Fang, and the territory of Wei returned to the powerful period of the Western Han Dynasty. In 280 AD, Lu Rui died of illness in Luoyang and was on a crusade in Mobei. Cao Fang, a foreigner, returned to Luoyang with his tiger and leopard cavalry to pay homage to Lu Rui. Cao Fang granted Lu Rui the title of Duke of Qi. In 290 AD, Cao Fang died of illness. , deserve to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple. In 620 AD, after more than ten generations of Cao Wei, Emperor Cao De of Wei became immoral and immoral, and the world was in chaos.
