But it is precisely in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that the praise of these heroes of Han and Shu is so positive that everyone has a bad impression of Cao Cao, a lean man.
Many people think that Cao Cao is insidious and suspicious by nature, but who knows that "I have a guest, playing the trumpet" is him; It was he who was evaluated by Mr. Lu Xun as "the founder of reforming articles"; "Jian 'an Literature" was founded by him ... Cao Cao, who was not so miserable in the novel, also carved a heroic deed in his life.
As the saying goes, "the end of a generation of heroes means the rise of the next generation of heroes." A common misunderstanding is that Cao Cao belongs to the Three Kingdoms, but it is not.
The tripartite confrontation was formed after the death of Cao Cao. At that time, Wei Shuwu was founded by Cao Pi, Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
Cao Cao has many children in his life, but only a handful can name them. Cao Pi, who succeeded the crown prince, Cao Zhi, his strongest competitor, Cao Chong, known as a child prodigy, Cao Zhang, who dared to be a general, and so on.
Among them, everyone knows that "boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle." This is the same root, why rush to speculate with each other? "Xelloss and's two brothers feud, but both died in their early forties.
Even Cao Chong, who was clever since childhood, even though he was deeply loved by Cao Cao, died young at the age of twelve, which made Cao Cao sad, while Cao Zhang died of illness as early as thirty-four.
Having said that, you may have questions: Cao Cao, a hero all his life, can't live long without children? The answer is yes.
Cao Yu is the eldest son of Cao Cao. He and Cao Chong are the same mother, both of whom were born to Mrs. Huan.
Perhaps my brother's aura is so dazzling that many of us ignore his existence, and he is naturally little known in our eyes.
Although Cao Yu is not as clever and brave as his brothers, he has an age that his brothers cannot reach. His life has also experienced numerous storms and witnessed the growth of mountains and rivers laid by his father and brothers. He can be described as a "living fossil" in the Three Kingdoms.
So some people have a question: since he has lived for so long, why not inherit the throne left by his father and brother and become an emperor? So now let's approach Cao Yu's story and answer bit by bit.
Cao Yu is gentle, respectful and filial, and deeply loved by his parents and brothers. Perhaps it is because of this character that he spent his life safely in the treacherous Three Kingdoms.
As an adult, Cao Yu married Zhang Lu's daughter under the arrangement of his father, and seven years later he was named Duke of Luyang. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor again. This shows my love for him.
As we all know, Cao Pi's eldest son Cao Cao succeeded to the throne after his death. Although Cao Cao was the first typical women's clothing boss in the Three Kingdoms, of course, all this originated from his childhood experience, but he was never inferior to his father politically.
Cao Cao liked to play with Cao Yu since he was a child, so Cao Yu's position naturally rose after Cao Cao succeeded to the throne. By Cao Cao as a prince, the status is much higher than the word king.
Because Cao Wei was wary of Xelloss and refused to let Xelloss be in charge, Cao Cao trusted Xelloss and summoned Xelloss many times, and his treatment far exceeded that of other governors.
It was because Cao Cao trusted Cao Yu so much that he wanted to issue a testamentary edict when Cao Cao died, hoping that his uncle could help the then Prince and his son Cao Fang to reign and govern the country.
However, Cao Cao's letters were quickly discouraged by Liu Fang and his grandson, who thought Cao Yu was stupid and embarrassed. And highly recommend that Cao Cao give the assistance to Cao Shuang and Sima Yi. Because of their repeated insistence, Cao Cao also gave up the matter.
After Cao Cao's death, Liu Fang and his grandson issued a testament to remove Cao Yu from his post and ordered him to leave the palace immediately and return to his fief. Without imperial edict, he can't go back to Beijing.
Cao Yu knew that the separation between him and Cao Cao was separated by yin and yang, and suddenly he burst into tears and was heartbroken. He returned to his fief with grief for his nephew and never asked about politics again.
After Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang dominated the state affairs. Until later, when Sima Yi and his son usurped the power of Cao Wei, deposed and murdered Di Wei, he remained indifferent and kept his position in his fief.
It was Sima Yi and his son who saw that he was so accommodating, and later treated him with courtesy and sealed his food city.
After Wei Emperor Cao Taizu was killed, Sima Zhao welcomed Cao Pi's second son, Cao Huan, as the emperor, adopted Cao Cao as his son and called Cao Pi his uncle. As the emperor's biological father, Cao Yu was not treated politically by Si Mazhao.
However, in order to show respect, the number of food cities is as high as 5500. Later, his son usurped the throne and established Jin. Although Cao Yu's position has risen again, he still has no real power. In the fourth year of Xianning, Cao Yu died at the age of 84.
In fact, in that troubled times, living is the best. Although Cao Yu had no chance to ascend to the throne in his life, he was also well-fed and carefree.
Counting his father, brother, nephew and son, although all of them were supreme in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, who sat on the throne for a long time? As an emperor, in order to secure the throne, he was always in fear, while Cao enjoyed himself and lived a stable life. What he has is beyond their reach and beyond their dreams.
Perhaps it is precisely because Cao Yu watched his father, brother, nephew and son do their best for this, so he chose to stay away from these disputes.
For him, this is not a correct and wise choice. Some people will say that when Sima family usurped the throne, why didn't he stand up and defend the family honor to the death?
But have we ever thought that even if Cao Yu stood up and resisted, he was undoubtedly throwing eggs at stones? He has no real power, and his power has long been ruthlessly deprived after Cao Cao's death.
If he goes all out to fight, he will pay more than the blood of Cao Shijia. What's more, at that time, he was already old and unable to fight for it.
Although Cao Yu's life is not as famous and powerful as his father; Nor does it have brotherly feats and power; Needless to say, he won the throne and got advice like his nephew and son, but he lived as long and healthy as his father expected.
Compared with any other brother, he is happy and lucky. Even Sima Yi, who practiced Wuqinxi every day for health and longevity, lived to 72 years old. Inner peace may be the magic weapon for his longevity.
