  • Chapter 106 — Suffering Defeat, Gongsun Yuan Meets His Death; Pretending Illness, Sima Yi Deceives Cao Shuang.
    Cao Rui's brother, summoned to the capital to be Regent Marshal and assist the Heir Apparent, and he declines it — 'being modest and retiring by nature' — which is what opens the regency to Cao Shuang. Liu Fang and Sun Zu then memorialise to have him sent home, and the edict in the Emperor's own hand orders him back to Yan at once with no return to court without special command. 'Cao Yu wept, but he left forthwith.'
  • Chapter 114 — Driving To The South Gate, Cao Mao Plunges Into Death; Abandoning Stores, Jiang Wei Defeats The Wei Army.
    Named in passing, as the new emperor's father: 'Cao Huang was a son of Cao Yu, Prince of Yan, and a great grandson of Cao Cao.' The brother who declined the regency in ch106 and was sent home to Yan supplies the last occupant of the throne.
