Wei: In the first month of the third year of Jingchu, the Emperor wrote a personal edict summoning Sima Yi to Ji. The Emperor took him by the hand and said: "I entrust the affairs after me to you. You and Cao Shuang shall assist my young son." Pointing to Fang, the Prince of Qi, he said to Yi: "This is he." On that day, the Prince of Qi was established as crown prince. The Emperor soon passed away at the age of thirty-six. In the first month, the crown prince ascended the throne at the age of eight. Cao Shuang and Sima Yi were granted the titles of Palace Attendant, Commander-in-Chief of All Forces Inside and Outside the Capital, and Manager of the Affairs of the Masters of Writing. Bi Gui, the Regional Inspector of Bingzhou, along with Deng Yang, Li Sheng, He Yan, and Ding Mi, were all famed for their talents. When Cao Shuang assisted in the governance, he rapidly promoted them. He Yan and the others urged Shuang to issue an edict transferring Sima Yi to the post of Grand Preceptor, externally honoring him with an exalted title while internally wishing to ensure that the memorials of the Masters of Writing would first go through themselves. In the second month, Sima Yi was made Grand Preceptor, and Shuang's younger brother Xi was made Commander of the Central Army. His other younger brothers were all created ranked marquises; their attendance and favored intimacy were beyond compare. In the seventh month, the Emperor began to preside personally over the court. In the twelfth month, an edict restored the month of Jian-yin as the first month of the year.
