In recent years, various TV series that claim to restore history have been popular. In fact, to be frank, none of these dramas restore history. What's worse, they just make up history.

In the past two years, the Advisors Alliance was very popular, and Sima Yi was portrayed as a white lotus, but what is the truth? Sima Yi in history was not like this.

The story of Sima Yi's usurpation of power in Cao Wei can be traced back to Cao Rui's entrustment of his son to his care. Cao Rui suddenly fell seriously ill, and originally planned a five-person team of Cao Yu, Cao Zhao, Xiahou Xian, Cao Shuang and Qin Lang to be entrusted with his son. Sima Yi had nothing to do with it. Sima Yi was on his way back to Luoyang after defeating Gongsun Yuan as the governor of Yongliang. Cao Yu had been appointed as the general by Cao Rui at that time, so he was naturally afraid of Sima Yi, so he asked Sima Yi not to enter Luoyang and go directly to Chang'an. At that time, Sima Yi had already returned to Hanoi, which was very close to Luoyang. He thought this order was strange, so he camped in Hanoi and refused to leave. This move can be said to be completely disrespectful to the emperor. It is even possible that he had actually exchanged letters with Liu Fang and Sun Zi, the mouthpieces of Cao Rui at the time, and knew that Cao Rui was dying. In the end, due to the conspiracy of Liu Fang and Sun Zi, a bloodless coup was launched, and Sima Yi was successfully appointed as the final regent, while Cao Yu was deposed after only 4 days.
