Chapter 722

ps: Chapter to prevent theft. The first thing to do later is to hold your head and cry with many wives and concubines. In just a few days, things have changed, and the yin and yang are almost separated. Cao Shuang is sad and crying bitterly.

His wife Liu Wan complained to him and said, "Why is your husband so confused? He handed over the general's seal and ribbon and returned to Luoyang. Wouldn't he be slaughtered?"

Cao Shuang stopped crying and said to her, "It's really a woman's opinion. If I don't come back, you don't know who will be captured by you, and how miserable it will be. Besides, I have handed over the military power, and Sima Taifu has promised that he will not harm me again. From now on, he will be a rich man and be free and at ease. What's wrong with it?"

Liu Wan said worriedly: "When my husband held military power, Sima Yi was of course afraid, but now he has lost military power, and people are the slaughter and I am the fish. If Sima Yi does not keep his promise, he is afraid that our whole family will be unable to protect their lives."

Cao Shuang said disapprovingly: "Sima Taifu pointed Luo Shui as his own vow. With his identity, can there be falsehood? You are just worrying about nothing."

At this moment, the manager of the mansion hurried in and reported in a hurry: "General, someone has built a hanging bucket on all sides of the mansion and peeked on it, which may be unfavorable."

When Cao Shuang went out, he saw that it was not. Someone built a high hanging bucket around his General's Mansion, and every move in the mansion was under the eyes of others.

As soon as Cao Shuang went out, someone shouted loudly: "Marquis Wu'an is out!"

Cao Shuang was shocked and rushed to the east courtyard. The person on the hanging bucket shouted again: "Marquis Wu'an has gone to the east!"

Cao Shuang was so depressed that she almost vomited blood. What the hell is this? She sent these people to watch them all the time and also broadcast from time to time. Did someone shout when he went to the bathroom? She originally thought that she could live a peaceful life after returning home, but she didn't expect that Sima Yi sent someone to monitor him all day long. How could this life be lived?

Cao Shuang suddenly felt regretful and said to Cao Xi: "I shouldn't regret not not listening to Huan Yuanze's words. After being in such a state, I don't know if Sima Taifu would break his promise?"

Cao Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's try it out and send someone to tell Sima Taifu that the mansion is short of food. If Sima Taifu wants to kill us, he will definitely refuse to give us food. If he is willing to give us food, it means that he has no intention of killing and we can live a stable life."

When Cao Shuang heard this, she was very happy and immediately sent someone to ask Sima Yi. Soon Sima Yi sent someone to deliver two trucks of food, one of which was also a whole sheep.

So Cao Shuang and Cao Xi felt relieved, and Sima Yi was willing to give them food, which showed that there was no intention of harm.

Unfortunately, Cao Shuang and Cao Xi were in vain. Even if Sima Yi really wanted to kill them, how could he care about one or two carts of food?

Therefore, when Sima Yi agreed to deliver food to them, they had already determined their life and death.

Although in the eyes of many people, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi's pig are no different from that of a captive pig, and they no longer pose any threat, and Sima Yi has no need to kill him at all.

But Sima Yi didn't think so. Although he put Cao Shuang in house arrest and his confidants in control of the situation in Luoyang, that's all. There were many princes in all directions who were not convinced by Sima Yi. Cao Liang from Bingzhou had already openly defected at this time and controlled the Henei County near Luoyang, posing a huge threat to Luoyang.

Others such as Wang Ling from Huainan and Wuqiu Jian from Youzhou may not seem to have any movement on the surface, but these people have different political views from Sima Yi, and it is not easy to make them obediently surrender.

Even in Luoyang City, Cao Shuang's original old subordinates were still thieves. If Luoyang fell into chaos, no one could guarantee that they would not rescue and support Cao Shuang to oppose the dictatorship of the Sima family.

Preparing for the future and preventing problems before they happen is what Sima Yi needs to do now. After all, Sima Yi is old and no one knows how long he can live. If it is really fast

When you leave the world, you must set up a safe path for your descendants and grandchildren.

Sima Yi doesn't want his compassion and ruthlessness to be in exchange for the future demise of the entire Sima clan. Sima Yi will not take any enemy even if he is locked in a cage. For him, only dead people are the most at ease.

Even if you think about Xiahou Hui, dead people may not be relieved!

Therefore, when Cao Shuang was at ease to be a rich man, Sima Yi had already decided on his life and death. Not only him, but also Cao Shuang's confidant lackeys, were all on Sima Yi's blacklist.

Execution of a person or a group of people is just a slight effort for Sima Yi to hold power. However, before killing people, they must be charged with a crime, and this crime must be large enough to allow Sima Yi to have reason to kill the three clans.

Treason is the most serious crime. If you want to kill Cao Shuang’s tribes, you must put such a crime on him.

He wanted to inflict any trouble, so at the instruction of Sima Yi, the eunuch Zhang Dang was arrested and imprisoned in Dali Temple. After being severely questioned, Zhang Dang confessed that he had conspired with Cao Shuang to usurp the throne, of course, there were many accomplices such as He Yan, Ding Mi, Deng, Bi Gui, Li Sheng and others.

Although the confession of this letter was full of flaws, it was quickly presented to Emperor Cao Fang and Empress Dowager Guo, and Cao Fang had to summon Sima Yi and others to the palace to discuss.

Sima Yi pretended not to know, while Gao Rou took the initiative to stand up and asked Cao Fang to issue an edict to deal with Cao Shuang for the crime of treason.

So Cao Shuang's fate was settled so. Cao Fang wrote an edict, and Cao Shuang's brothers and many of his close friends were sent to prison.

In the Heavenly Prison, Cao Shuang signed and concealed the rebellion before the prison guards could impose any serious punishment on him. Cao Xi, Cao Xun, He Yan, Deng and others also endured their own "rebellion" under severe torture and forced confession.

Only Ding Mi is a tough guy. He never accepts his involvement in the rebellion even though he was beaten to death. He also criticized Sima Yi as being despicable and shameless, and used such despicable means to frame them.

However, this seems to have no decision. Even if Ding Mi doesn't fight to death, he will still be unable to escape.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Zhengshi, the emperor issued an edict, Cao Shuang, He Yan, Deng, Ding Mi, Bi Gui, Li Sheng, Zhang Dang and others were suspected of treason, beheaded and abandoned the market, and at the same time, the three clans were destroyed.

On that day, Luoyang City was filled with wind and snow, thousands of people were taken to the streets, their heads were cut off, and the snow that fell to the ground was dyed red. The bodies, countless vehicles were used, were cleaned up.

This day also became the most terrifying day in Luoyang people's memory.
