Chapter 107
— The Ruler of Wei Hands Over The Power To Sima Yi; Jiang Wei Is Defeated At Ox Head Hills.
Says the truest thing in the chapter. First Secretary, he clings to the seal of office and will not give it up: 'Alas! That you, my lord, should resign your powers and make such a pitiful surrender. For surely you will not escape death in the eastern market place.' Cao Shuang answers 'The Imperial Guardian will surely keep faith with me.' Jiang Ji later asks for him to be punished for the obstruction; Sima Yi confirms him in office instead.
