Why did none of Cao Wei's many civil ministers and military generals oppose when Sima Yi usurped power? There are only a few reasons for this. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi gradually seized power in Cao Wei, and eventually usurped the throne and established the Jin Dynasty. However, what is puzzling is that Sima Yi does not seem to encounter much opposition in the process of seizing power. Do you know what this is?
First of all, Sima Yi's position in the Cao Wei regime was very important, he was not only an important general of Cao Wei, but also a politician and cultural person. Through years of hard work and accumulation, he gradually gained high positions and power within the Cao Wei regime. This made him the de facto ruler in the later years of the Cao Wei period.
Second, Sima Yi was very politically shrewd, and he was adept at using various means to control the Cao Wei regime. He gradually weakened the power of the Cao Wei royal family and strengthened his control by controlling the palace and appointing and dismissing him. In addition, he used various means to buy people's hearts and minds, so that many people turned a blind eye to his usurpation.
Finally, Sima Yi's choice of timing to usurp the throne was also very ingenious. At that time, the Cao Wei regime was already in decline, and political corruption and social unrest were increasing. Sima Yi's usurpation of the throne met the needs of society at the time to a certain extent, leading many to believe that he was a leader who could lead the country to stability and prosperity.
To sum up, the reason why Sima Yi did not encounter much opposition in the process of seizing power was mainly because his position in the Cao Wei regime was very important, he was very politically shrewd, and he chose the timing of the usurpation very skillfully. So what do you think?
