Fang, the adopted son of Emperor Ming, was established as crown prince and ascended the throne at the age of eight. The General-in-Chief Cao Shuang monopolized the government, his influence overawing the four quarters. In the eighth year of Zhengshi, General-in-Chief Shuang, following the schemes of He Yan, Deng Yang, and Ding Mi, moved the Empress Dowager to the Yongning Palace. Grand Preceptor Yi was unable to prevent it; having a rift with Shuang, he pleaded illness and did not participate in state affairs. In the spring, the first month of the first year of Jiaping, the Emperor visited the Gaoping Tomb. General-in-Chief Shuang, along with his younger brothers Xi, the Commander of the Central Army, and Xun, the General of the Martial Guard, all accompanied him. Grand Preceptor Yi, under an order of the Empress Dowager, shut the city gates, mobilized troops, took control of the armory, distributed weapons, and marched out to encamp at the pontoon bridge over the Luo River. He summoned Minister of Education Gao Rou to act as General-in-Chief and occupy Shuang's camp, and Grand Groom Wang Guan to act as Commander of the Central Army and occupy Xi's camp. Thereupon, he memorialized Shuang's crimes to the Emperor. Shuang escorted the Emperor back to the palace, and Shuang and his brothers returned to their residence; Yi dispatched officers and soldiers of Luoyang to surround and guard them. The authorities memorialized that Shuang, along with He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Bi Gui, and Li Sheng, had plotted rebellion. Shuang and the others were arrested and impeached, and for their great treason and impiety, their clans were wiped out to the third degree. In the eighth month of the third year of Jiaping, Grand Preceptor Sima Yi died. An edict appointed his son Shi as General-in-Chief Pacifying the Army and Manager of the Affairs of the Masters of Writing. Reign eras: Zhengshi (nine [years]), Jiaping (five [years]).
