Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 487 Cao Shuang: I know the joy of power!!!

Then, Lin Ke continued, "When Cao Fang ascended the throne, his situation was no different from that of other young emperors. After all, there was one in his family who used the emperor to command the princes."

"In the end, either Sima Yi or Cao Shuang will gain power; it all depends on their ambitions."

"Of course, there is another path, like Zhuge Liang, to be a loyal minister who devotes himself to the cause until his dying breath, but judging from what happened later, it is clear that this kind of work is not something that ordinary people want to do!"

Everyone in Cao Wei: ...

"Getting back to the main point, Cao Shuang gradually gained control of the core power, while Sima Yi was fighting against Eastern Wu at the beginning of the new emperor's reign. At that time, he was also engaged in land reclamation and infrastructure construction."

"In 244 AD, Cao Shuang, in order to gain military merit and compete with Sima Yi, prepared to attack Shu Han on the advice (and encouragement) of Li Sheng and others."

"Although Shu Han was weak, it had natural defenses and the influence of Zhuge Liang was still strong, so it was not easy to fight."

"Therefore, the result of this campaign against Shu was not good. Not only did we fail to gain any advantage from Shu Han, but we were also intercepted by Shu Han, our retreat was cut off, and we only managed to escape back to Guanzhong after a bitter battle."

"This battle was a battle to establish momentum. After that, Cao Shuang did not gain any military merit or influence. Instead, his reputation plummeted. It can be said that he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead."

"In 247 AD, Cao Shuang, following the advice of He Yan, Deng Yang and others, moved the Empress of Emperor Ming of Wei to Yongning Palace, monopolized the government, and the imperial power completely fell into his hands."

"At this time, Sima Yi claimed to be ill and did not concern himself with politics, but historical experience tells us that until the very end, no one knows who will have the last laugh."

"However, few people can resist the temptation of power, and Cao Shuang was no exception. He soon developed a life of extravagance. For example, he brought several of Cao Rui's concubines home for drinks, which was quite reminiscent of the style of Cao Cao in the past!"

In another timeline, the people in Cao Cao's camp all stared at their boss, making Cao Cao's face turn red. What did this mean?!

His descendants are doing bad things, which has dragged him, their grandfather, down with them!

"And with Cao Shuang and his cronies indulging in extravagance and debauchery, how could the court not have witnessed it? But even if he usurped the throne, on the bright side, this large group still belongs to the Cao family, doesn't it?!"

Cao Pi: Damn, is this the same thing??

"During this period, Sima Yi also showcased his superb acting skills; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to give him an Oscar!"

"Simply put, this incident occurred because Cao Shuang, who was indulging in pleasure all day, suddenly decided to see how his defeated rival, Sima Yi, was doing."

"At this time, Sima Yi was almost seventy years old. It was rare for someone to live so long back then."

"So, Li Sheng, who was sent by Cao Shuang, brought back this news: Sima Yi is no good. He is deaf, blind, and can even spill porridge on himself."

"So Cao Shuang was relieved, but he didn't know that seventy years old is the best time to fight, not to mention Sima Yi, who is always patient and not easy to deal with."

Wan Chaozhong's people: What the hell?! Seventy years old and still working hard?!

A farming expert from the Ming Dynasty: I've never seen anything like this before! How come people are living so long?!

Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: The Cao family was not yet forty years old, probably because they did not expect Sima Yi to live so long.

Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: You mean he judged others by his own standards, hahaha! But it was useless; one after another, they died young!!

Liu Zhuzhu (Big Han): Cao Wei only lasted a few years before it became like this?!

First Emperor: Immersed in the allure of power, unable to extricate himself!
