Life

Fu Gu grandfather was Fu Rui (傅睿), the Administrator (太守) of Dai Prefecture (代郡) in the late Eastern Han dynasty. His father was Fu Chong (傅充), a Gentleman of the Yellow Gate (黃門侍郎). He had a son, Fu Zhi (傅祗). Fu Xuan (傅宣) and Fu Chang (傅暢) were his grandsons. Already well known in his 20s, Fu Gu was recommended by Chen Qun to serve the Wei government and was appointed as a low-level official.

In those days, the most famous officials in Wei were He Yan, Deng Yang and Xiahou Xuan. Fu Gu disliked them, distanced himself from them, and chose to associate with Xun Can instead. Although Li Feng was from the same home province as Fu Gu, Fu was on bad terms with him and foresaw that Li would eventually ruin his own reputation.

In 240, Fu Gu was appointed as a Gentleman of Writing (尚書郎) and Gentleman of the Yellow Gate (黃門侍郎).

At those days, Cao Shuang appointed He Yan as the Minister of Civil Affairs (吏部尚書) and put He Yan in charge of personnel allocation. Fu Gu advised Cao Xi (曹羲), a brother of Cao Shuang, that He Yan could not be entrusted with an important responsibility. However soon later, as his advice were heard by He Yan, Fu Gu was discharged from his position. After that, he was appointed as the County Prefect (縣令) of Yingyang (滎陽) (滎陽県令) but he rejected the appointment. Later, he accepted an offer from Sima Yi to serve as an Assistant Officer of the Household (從事中郎). After Cao Shuang lost power, he was appointed as Intendant of Henan (河南尹) and Master of Writing (尚書).

In 252, after the death of the Eastern Wu emperor Sun Quan, the Wei generals on the frontline such as Hu Zun, Wang Chang and Guanqiu Jian had the intention of using the opportunity to attack their rival state. When Fu Gu was asked for his opinion, he objected to the campaign against Wu. Although the campaign went ahead, Wei forces led by Hu Zun and Zhuge Dan met their defeat at the Battle of Dongxing in 252 by the Wu forces led by Zhuge Ke. Fu Gu was later awarded the title of a Secondary Marquis (關內侯).

Later in 254, Sima 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.

生平

傅嘏弱冠時已知名于世，被司空陳群闢為掾。何晏、鄧颺和夏侯玄都有名聲，想和他結交，但傅嘏都拒絕，好友荀粲覺得很奇怪，認為大家都是當時的俊傑賢者，應當交好以利國家；傅嘏則稱三人德行敗壞，日後必定會失敗，不應親近以免日後受到牽連。後來獲賜爵關內侯。

正元元年（254年），司馬師廢齊王曹芳後立曹髦為帝，傅嘏獲封武鄉亭侯。次年春季，毌丘儉和文欽在壽春討伐司馬師，當時司馬師剛割了眼瘤，朝臣都認為司馬師可派將領討伐，毋須親身領軍，但傅嘏、王肅和鍾會都勸司馬師親率軍隊攻擊，傅嘏又說：「淮、楚兵勁，而儉等負力遠鬥，其鋒未當也。若諸將戰有利，大勢一失，則公事敗了。（江淮的兵眾戰鬥力高，而今毌丘儉等人帶領他們遠道進討，實在難以抵擋。若果諸將有所失利，大勢一失，你就很可能會被推翻了。）」司馬師於是決意親征，傅嘏等亦隨軍。及後平定叛亂，傅嘏都有獻謀。但戰時司馬師病情惡化，一眼突出，曾有意將朝政大權交給傅嘏，但傅嘏不敢接受。戰後司馬師就旋即逝世，鍾會於是與傅嘏合謀，秘不發喪，傅嘏領軍回師，並以司馬師之名命令司馬昭到許昌，然後一起回洛陽，並讓他進為大將軍錄尚書事，接替司馬師獨攬朝政。傅嘏因功進封陽鄉侯，食邑增至一千二百戶。同年傅嘏逝世，享年四十七歲。追贈太常，諡元侯。
