Shi deposed the Wei emperor Cao Fang and replaced him with Cao Mao. Fu Gu was promoted from a Secondary Marquis to the Marquis of Wuxiang Village (武鄉亭侯). In 255, enraged at the regent Sima Shi for deposing the emperor Cao Fang, Guanqiu Jian and Wen Qin started a rebellion in Shouchun against Sima Shi. As Sima Shi was then suffering from an eye disease, the officials urged him to let Sima Fu lead imperial forces to quell the rebellion. However, Fu Gu, Wang Su and Zhong Hui advised him to personally lead the army instead. Sima Shi heeded their advice. Fu Gu participated in the campaign as Supervisor of the Masters of Writing (尚書僕射). Sima Shi's brother Sima Zhao was also involved. Fu Gu contributed to the suppression of the rebellion. During the campaign, Sima Shi's eye condition worsened and he died days later. After Sima Shi died in Xuchang, Sima Zhao took over his brother's position as the regent of Wei. In an attempt to prevent a transfer of power from Sima Shi to Sima Zhao, the Wei emperor Cao Mao ordered Sima Zhao to remain in Xuchang and let Fu Gu lead the army back to the capital Luoyang. However, Fu Gu and Zhong Hui met up with Sima Zhao, defied Cao Mao's orders, and returned to the capital together. Fu Gu was later enfeoffed as the Marquis of Yang District (陽鄉侯). He died in the same year. See also Lists of people of the Three Kingdoms Notes References Chen, Shou (3rd century). Records of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguozhi). Pei, Songzhi (5th century).
