The First Ten Years
About This Novel
Zhengshi is the reign name used by Cao Fang, the third emperor of Cao Wei. It started in 240 and ended in 249. In the tenth year of Zhengshi (249), Cao Fang issued an edict to change the reign name to Jiaping in April of this year. In the tenth year of Zhengshi (249), it only lasted for more than three months. However, many major events happened in these 100 days or so, affecting the history of the following years, decades or even longer. This book focuses on the historical events that occurred around the tenth year of Zhengshi (249), explores the causes and consequences of the Gaopingling coup launched by Sima Yi and his son, and summarizes historical experience and lessons without sparing historical details. This book does not intend to overturn the verdict or "whitewash" Sima Yi and his son. Instead, it focuses on the imprint of the times on them and analyzes the causes of contradictions and complexity and their impact on historical development.
