Having secured his position thus; Sima Yi and his supporters went to the palace of the Empress Dowager。

They said to her; 〃Cao Shuang has betrayed the trust placed in him by the late Emperor and has ruined the government。 His fault must be expiated。〃

Empress Guo replied; 〃What can be done in the absence of the Son of Heaven?〃

〃I have prepared plans for the destruction of these base ministers and will see to it that no trouble happens to yourself。〃

The Empress was much alarmed; but could only act as she was directed and agree。 So two of Sima Yis supporters; mander Jiang Ji and High Minister Sima Fu; copied out the memorial he had prepared; and it was sent to the Ruler of Wei by the hand of an eunuch。 Then the arsenals were seized。

Soon the news of the rising came to the knowledge of the family of Cao Shuang; and his wife; Lady Liu; came out from the inner apartments and summoned Pan Ju; mander of the Gates。

She inquired; 〃The Master is outside; and Sima Yi is revolting: What does it mean?〃

〃Your Ladyship need feel no alarm。 Let me go and find out the truth;〃 said Pan Ju。

Thereupon Pan Ju; at the head of a several dozen bowmen; went up on the wall and looked around。 At that moment Sima Yi was crossing the court; and Pan Ju bade his men shoot。 Sima Yi could not pass。

But Sun Qiao; one of his generals; said; 〃You must not shoot at the Imperial Guardian; he is on public service。〃

Thrice Sun Qiao urged his chief not to let the men shoot; and so Pan Ju desisted。 Sima Yi went across guarded by his son Sima Zhao。 Then he went out of the city and camped on River Luo at the Floating Bridge。

When the revolution began; one of Cao Shuangs officers; Lu Zhu by name; took counsel with Military Adviser Xin Chang。

〃Now that this revolt has begun; what should we do?〃

〃Let us go to the Emperor with what troops we have;〃 replied Xin Chang。

〃Perhaps the best course;〃 replied Lu Zhu。

And Xin Chang went into the inner chamber to get ready to start。 There he met his sister; Xin Xianying; who asked the meaning of all this haste。

〃His Majesty is out on a hunt; and Sima Yi has closed the gates of the city。 This is rebellion。〃

〃I do not think so。 He only means to slay Cao Shuang; his rival;〃 replied she。

〃What will be the oute of this?〃 asked her brother。

〃Cao Shuang is no match for Sima Yi;〃 replied she。

〃If Sima Yi asks us to join him; should we?〃 asked Xin Chang。

Xin Xianying replied; 〃You know what a true man should do。 When a man is in danger; there is the greater need for sympathy。 To be of Cao Shuangs people and desert him in an emergency is the greatest of evils。〃

This speech decided Xin Chang; who went with Lu Zhu。 At the head of a some twenty horsemen; they forced the gate and got out of the city。

When their escape was reported to Sima Yi; he thought that Huan Fan would surely try to follow their example; so he sent to call him。 However; on the advice of his son; Huan Fan did not answer the summons; but decided to flee。 He got into his carriage and drove hastily to the South Gate。 But the gate was barred。 The mander of the Gate; Si Fan; was an old dependant of Huan Fan。

Huan Fan pulled out from his sleeve a slip of bamboo and said; 〃The Empresss mand: Open the gate for me。〃

〃Let me look;〃 said Si Fan。

〃What! How dare you; an o
