Life of the characters

Born official

Wei Yu was born in a family of Confucian officials. Wei Yu was a famous Confucian scholar in the Han and Ming Dynasties. His father, Wei Wei, was the Minister of Cao Wei. Due to the influence of his family and the influence of his parents, Wei Yu was praised by his neighbors and relatives when he was young. He lost his father when he was ten years old, and honed his ability to stand on his own. He was the Marquis of Xiang, who was inherited from his deceased father. At the age of 20, he became shangshulang of Cao Wei.

At that time, the law of Wei state was strict, and the power minister was dictatorial. However, Wei Yu insisted on doing things impartially, not being intimate, not sparing, especially in litigation involving large and small cases. He was always convinced by the law, reason and emotion. During the ten years, he successively held the posts of tongshilang, zhongshulang, sanqichangshi, etc.

In the first year of Jingyuan (260), when Cao Huan, the emperor of Wei Yuan, ascended the throne, Wei Yu paid homage to the Shizhong, kept his integrity and comforted Hebei area, and later transferred to the position of Tingwei.

Crusade against Shu Han

In the fourth year of Jingyuan (263), Wei Yu, as a military supervisor, supervised the military actions of Deng AI and Zhong Hui, acting as an agent of Zhenxi general and commanding 1000 soldiers. After Pingshu, Deng AI was arrogant and autocratic. Zhong Hui and Wei Yumi played with general Sima Zhao, saying that Deng AI had something against him. Emperor yuan issued an imperial edict to imprison Deng AI into Beijing with a prison car. Zhong Hui uses the strategy of killing two birds with one stone to send Wei Yu to Chengdu to capture Deng AI with a small number of troops, trying to kill him with Deng AI's hand, and then taking Wei Yu's death as one of the criminal evidences of Deng AI's rebellion.

Wei Yu knew it, but he couldn't refuse, so he went to Chengdu. When Wei Yu arrived in Chengdu at night, he issued an address to Deng AI's generals, claiming that "Deng AI was arrested in accordance with the imperial edict, and the rest of them would not be investigated. If you report to the imperial court, you will be given the same title as before; if you dare not show up, you will be killed. So the next day when the crowing of chickens, Deng AI's generals rushed to the Weiyu barracks, only Deng AI was still in the tent. So after sunrise, Wei Yu drove to Deng AI's residence in the messenger's car. At this time, Deng AI was still sleeping, and his father and son were arrested together. Deng AI sighed to the sky: "I am a loyal minister! How could it have come to such an end! What Baiqi suffered in the past is now seen again. "

At this time, Deng AI's subordinates plan to hijack the prison car and rescue, and lead the troops to the Weiyu military camp. Wei Yu came out to meet him in light clothes, pretending that he was writing a memorial to defend Deng AI. The generals listened to him and stopped rescuing Deng AI.

On the 15th of the first month of the fifth year of Jingyuan (264), Zhong Hui arrived in Chengdu and decided to rebel. On the next day, on the ground of Empress Dowager Guo's mourning, he invited Hu lie and other generals and officials to the court Hall of Shu Kingdom, took the opportunity to put them under house arrest, and raised troops to revolt. At this time, people were worried about the unrest in and out of Chengdu. Zhong will leave Wei Yu around to discuss the matter, and write "want to kill Hu lie and so on" on the wooden chip to show Wei Yu. Wei Yu does not agree, so they begin to suspect each other. When Wei Yu went to the toilet, he met Hu lie's former pro general Qiu Jian and told him to send the news to the army.

The bell will force Wei Yu to make a decision. That night, they can't close their eyes and hold their swords on their knees. The next day, some troops outside the city who got the news were ready to attack Zhonghui, because Wei Yu was still inside and did not dare to send troops. Zhong Hui wants to order Wei Yu to go out to comfort the troops. Wei Yu plans to take advantage of this opportunity to get away, and deliberately says to Zhong Hui, "you are the commander of the troops, so you should go by yourself." Zhong Hui said, "you are the supervisor. You should go first. I'll come later." Wei Yu then went down to the hall and left. Zhong Hui regretted it and sent someone to ask him to come back.

Wei said that he was ill and pretended to fall to the ground. Later, when he arrived outside the city, Zhong would send dozens of cronies to chase him. Wei Yu then took salt water to drink and let himself vomit. Because Wei Yu is thin and weak, he looks like he is seriously ill. When Zhong Hui sent his confidants and doctors to see him, they all said that he was too sick to get up, so Zhong Hui was not afraid. When the gate of the city was closed at night, Wei made a proclamation to all the troops, and all the troops had already called on them to fight against Zhong Hui the next morning. Zhong Hui led all the soldiers to fight, and the armies outside the city defeated him. Only a few hundred local soldiers in the tent followed Zhong Hui, and finally all were killed. Wei Yu restrained the generals and then calmed down.

The soldiers of Deng AI's base camp want to catch up with the prison car to rescue Deng AI and welcome him back to Chengdu. Wei Yu thinks that he and Zhong Hui framed Deng AI together. Fearing that something might happen, he sends a guard Tian Xu to Mianzhu to attack Deng AI in the third Pavilion and kill his father and son. At first, when Deng AI entered Jiangyou, Tian Xu didn't dare to move forward. Deng AI wanted to kill him, and soon released him. When Wei Yu sent Tian Xu, he said, "you can take revenge for the humiliation in Jiangyou."

Clean up the border trouble

After Yizhou was pacified, the court officials suggested that Wei Yu should be granted a reward. However, Wei Yu thought that "all the generals were responsible for conquering Shu, while Deng AI and Zhong Hui were suicidal" and insisted on not accepting the reward. After that, he served as envoy Chijie, governor of Guanzhong military and Zhenxi general. Soon after, he became governor of Xuzhou military and Zhendong general, and was granted the title of Marquis of Kaiyang. Wei Shi, Wei's younger brother, was also awarded the title of Marquis of Kaiyang Pavilion.

In December of the second year of Xianxi reign (February 266), Sima Yan, king of Jin Dynasty (Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty), established the Western Jin Dynasty. He first became a general of Zhengdong, and soon became a Duke of Pengyang.

In 269, Wei Yu was given the title of governor of Qingzhou, and also served as the governor of Qingzhou. After that, the army of the East general and qingzhoumu were recruited. He is good at managing politics and has made achievements wherever he is.

In 271, Wei Yu left the northern part of the town and served as a general and commander in charge of the military affairs of Youzhou. He also served as a governor of Youzhou and a captain of huwuhuan.

In the second year of Xianning (276), the imperial court obeyed Wei Xun's previous opinions and established Pingzhou. Later, he also supervised Pingzhou. During his term of office, Wei Yu alienated the northern Xianbei tribes, making "Wu Huan descend and (Tuoba) have little strength to worry about death", which solved the border harm for the imperial court. When Emperor Wu of Jin heard about it, he rewarded Wei Yu and gave him a Viscount as Marquis of the pavilion. Wei Yu begged to be granted the title to his younger brother, but he died before he was granted the title, so Wei Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Pavilion. Wei Liu Zi had no title and gave up his two younger brothers. People from far and near praised him for his behavior.

Wei Yu repeatedly asked to enter the court for an audience, and Emperor Wu allowed him to do so. After he entered the capital, he treated him well and ordered him to return to the town to take office. In the fourth year of Xianning (278), Wei Yu was called into the court and was promoted to the rank of minister and minister. He was a strict man and treated his subordinates with strict laws. He treated the ministers as his assistants and the minister as his subordinates.

In the third year of Taikang (282), he was promoted to the rank of Sikong, and still received the order of Shangshu and Shizhong. Wei Yu was praised by both the government and the public for his simplicity of administration. Emperor Wu married his daughter Princess Fanchang to Wei Xuan, the fourth son of Wei Yu. Later, he led the prince Shaofu, added 1000 soldiers, 100 cavalry and preached in the mansion.

Be wrongly killed

After Wei Xuan married the princess, he made a mistake of indulging in wine and sex. Yang Jun, a close relative, is usually at odds with Wei Xuan, and he wants to take charge of the government alone. He thinks that if Wei Xuan and the princess divorce, Wei Xuan will abdicate and resign. So he slanders Wei Xuan with Huangmen and others, making Emperor Wu issue an edict to divorce them. Wei Yu was ashamed and afraid, so he asked for abdication. The imperial edict was issued to take Wei Yu as the Imperial Guard and go home as the Duke of Yang. The relevant departments took Wei Xuan and handed him over to Tingwei, and dismissed Wei Yu. Emperor Wu did not allow him to do so. Later, Emperor Wu found out that it was Huangmen who deliberately framed Weixuan and wanted the princess to get back together with Weixuan. At this time, Weixuan had died of illness.

In the first year of Yongping (290), Sima Zhong, Emperor Huidi of Jin Dynasty, ascended to the throne and was assisted by Yang Jun, Taifu.

In the first year of Yuankang (291), Yang Jun was killed by Sima Wei, king of Chu. He was awarded the honor of "walking in the hall with swords, not going to court".

Soon after, Sima Liang suggested that the kings should return to the state of Zhen and discuss the matter with the court officials in the palace. No one dares to reply, but Wei Yu agrees. Therefore, Sima Wei hates Wei Yu. Because of her integrity, empress Jia couldn't do what she wanted. With the charge of "planning to abolish legislation", he issued an imperial edict to Sima Wei, ordering him to be exempted from the official position of Wei. Sima Wei sent Sima ya, the king of Qinghe, to lead his troops to surround Wei's house. Everyone suspected that the imperial edict was false. He wanted Wei to make it clear before he could confess his guilt. Wei refused, so he was killed with his son and grandson. He was 72 years old. Only Wei Heng's two sons, Wei Yu and Wei Yu, survived in the doctor's home.

When Wei Yu was a Sikong, he once reprimanded Rong Hui, the governor under the account. When Wei Yu was captured, Rong Hui was also involved and reported to the police
