In May of the seventh year of Huangchu, Cao Pi was infected with cold disease and could not recover. He wanted to summon the general of the central army, Cao Zhen, general of the army, Chen Qun, and Sima Yi, general of the peace army, to the bedroom to explain the funeral. However, Sima Yi guarded Chang'an and prepared for Zhuge Liang. Cao Zhen was in Yingchuan to guard against Chenlong and headed north. Both of them could not arrive, and only Chen Qun was still in Luoyang.

After Chen Qun entered the palace, Cao Pi called Cao Rui and pointed at Cao Rui and said to Chen Qun, "I am sick now and cannot be resurrected. I am young. You, Sima Zhongda and Cao Zidan, are good at helping him, so don't let my heart down."

Chen Qun knelt down and cried, "Why did Your Majesty say this? I am willing to do my best to serve Your Majesty for a long time."

Cao Pi said, "This year, Xuchang City Gate collapsed without reason, which is an ominous sign. Therefore, I know that I will die." In the right words, the eunuch eunuch replied to Cao Xiu, the general of the East, to come to the palace to ask for his wishes.

Cao Pi summoned him to the scene and said, "You are all ministers of the country. If you can help my sons together, I will die with my eyes closed!" After saying that, he died in tears. He was forty years old and reigned for seven years.

So Chen Qun, Cao Xiu and others, while mourning, sent a message to Sima Yi, Cao Zhen and others jointly supported Cao Rui as the Emperor of the Great Wei, posthumously named Father Pi as Emperor Wen, posthumously named Mother Zhen as Empress Wen Zhao, granted Zhong Yao as the Grand Tutor, Cao Zhen as the Grand General, Cao Xiu as the Grand Sima, Hua Xin as the Grand Wei, Chen Qun as the Sikong, Sima Yi as the General of the Cavalry, and the other civil and military bureaucrats were each given gifts and amnesty for the world.

When he made a detailed report on the news, Zhuge Liang and Chen Long were overjoyed. Cao Pi's power was not as powerful as Cao Cao. Cao Rui was young. If he could be safe during the peaceful season, it was a chaotic time. The young lord ascended the throne and the ministers of Cao Wei would be uneasy, so he rectified his troops and prepared to continue to attack Chang'an and Yingchuan.

Ma Su advised, "Cao Ruiru's son is not worth worrying about, but Cao Zhen has been defeated repeatedly but has not lost his tenacity. Sima Yi is very scheming and calculating. If these two people can be cut off, Cao Wei will definitely go down in one go. Why not send people to Luoyang, Yejun and other places to spread rumors, saying that these two people want to rebel; even Sima Yi, Cao Zhen told the world's list of documents and posted them everywhere, making Cao Rui suspicious and would definitely kill this person."

Chen Long then ordered Ma Su to make a notice, and it was completed in a moment. The text said, "The General of the Cavalry, Yong, Liang and others, Sima Yi, the General of the Central Army, Nanyang, and Runan and others, Cao Zhen, I would like to inform the world with his loyalty: Emperor Taizu Wu, who founded a foundation, originally wanted to make Prince Chen Sijian the country's master. Unfortunately, he had a traitor and slander. Qianlong and the Emperor Cao Rui had no virtues and regarded himself as respectful and had the will of Taizu. Now I responded to the people of Tianshu and promoted the army to comfort the hope of the people. The announcement came to the day and everyone should return to the new king. If it was not, the nine clans should be destroyed! I will tell you this first, and I would like to know."

Chen Long said, "In the past, Cao Cao once said: Sima Yi looked at the wolf and could not give up military power. It would be a disaster for the country in the long run. Sima Yi posted this notice, and the ministers of Cao Wei might be suspicious. However, Cao Zidan was a relative of the Cao family and had always been loyal. If this was written, it would be inappropriate. It would be better to write another notice, saying that Cao Pi's palace affairs were angering Cao Rui."

After receiving Chen Long's reminder, Ma Su wrote another notice, "Cao Zhen, the general general of the Central Army, Nanyang, and other military affairs, I would like to inform the world with Xinyi: Cao Rui's biological mother Zhen, the wife of the governor of Youzhou Yuan Xi, was included in the harem of the First Queen, and he was also very resentful. He also used the art of nightmare to be a tung puppet man. He wrote a letter to the emperor for the year, month, day and time, and cursed the emperor for being a traitor."

"The former emperor then gave the Zhen family to death, and deposed Rui as the Marquis of Pingyuan. He wanted to establish Cao Li, the King of Jingzhao, as his heir. I, General Sima Yi, Grand Marshal Hua Xin, Grand Marshal Cao Xiu, and Sikong Chen Qun, all responded to it. However, we were leading the troops outside. The former emperor passed away and died in Luoyang. Rui ascended the throne to the emperor. We were all dissatisfied. We should lead troops to Luo and re-establish the new lord. On the day of the day, we should all give in to the new lord. If it is not up to par, we should destroy the nine clans! Let me tell you this first, and I would like to know."

"That's good! Maybe you can write another notice from Cao Zhang's old subordinate, saying that Huang Xuer was poisoned to death by Cao Pi, and wanted to raise an army to avenge Huang Xuer, and made Huang Xuer's son Cao Kai the emperor, and Cao Kai's mother was Sun Jian's nephew Sun Bennu, so she said that Eastern Wu was also willing to lead troops north to help." Since it was a rumor, let's put a few more.

Sima Yi was a man who looked at the wolf, and he was an outsider. Although King Chen Si, Cao Zhi, had outstanding literary talent, had no foundation in the army. If such a person said he wanted to rebel, the ministers of Cao Wei were not very afraid. Cao Li and Cao Kai were different. Cao Li was originally favored by Cao Pi, so how could Cao Rui not beware of him? Cao Kai owned Cao Zhang's legacy and had many old friends in the army. Cao Rui would definitely be worried about the two of them. He would bring Cao Xiu, Chen Qun and others in, so he would doubt the ministers whom Cao Pi left him.

Moreover, the fact that Zhen Mi was sentenced to death by Cao Pi was the method of Cao Rui's mother, Empress Guo. The so-called puppet man was framed by Empress Guo. After that, Cao Rui and Empress Guo were very angry. Later, they began to serve Empress Guo respectfully. They went to the empress harem to discuss the situation every morning and evening. Empress Guo was also very kind to Cao Rui because she had no son. Cao Rui was able to ascend the throne, and Empress Guo made great efforts, which was Cao Rui's greatest reliance.

Shen Long asked Ma Su to point out this matter in the notice, and Cao Rui and Empress Guo were inevitably in a slight rift, so it would be even more difficult for Cao Rui to control the situation in Cao Wei.

When Ma Su heard this, he admired him, "The military advisor is extremely intelligent and far superior to us. In this way, Cao Wei will inevitably cause chaos."

Shen Long sent a message to the Eastern Wu again, asking Lu Xun and others to reorganize the troops to fight north. Although they did not use Cao Kai's banner, as long as they saw the Eastern Wu army heading north, the ministers of Cao Wei would definitely have some associations.

However, in Luoyang City, various notices appeared one after another within a few days, and the words were shocking. Cao Rui and the ministers of Cao Wei were all shocked and gathered in the palace to discuss. The Taiwei Hua Xin reported, "Sima Yitun has heavy troops in Chang'an, but never leaves the city to fight Zhuge Liang. He must have a different ambition. At the beginning, Emperor Wu of Taizu once said to his ministers: Sima Yi looks at the wolf and cannot be given military power. It will be a disaster for the country for a long time. Today, the rebellion is already in full swing, so he can be punished quickly."

Cao Zhen's son Cao Shuang knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty is clear and my father has always been loyal. This must be Shen Long's plan to alienate him!"

Cao Rui spoke to comfort him, but when he thought of Cao Pi's past favor with Cao Li and his biological mother being killed by Queen Guo, he felt depressed and secretly ordered someone to give Cao Li and Cao Kai the poisoned wine.

It was not known that the person who gave the poisoned wine had not yet left the palace, and the news spread in the capital. For a moment, the capital was in an uproar. Cao Li ran into the palace and cried. However, Cao Kai escaped from the city under the escort of Cao Zhang's old subordinates. Later, Empress Guo's relative Guo Biao suddenly died suddenly. Empress Guo was very sad and doubted Cao Rui.

Sima Yi, Cao Zhen and others wrote letters to express their innocence, but they were uneasy. Now Cao Wei is in chaos. If Shu Han launches a large-scale attack, can it still be stopped?
