Speaking of the Three Kingdoms period, many people may think of Liu Bei , Cao Cao and others. Indeed, these people had great talents and strategies, and were able to create their own political power and build their own country in troubled times. They deserve people's admiration. , but as the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and many experienced descendants appeared after them, such as Cao Cao's son, the second ruler of the Cao Wei regime Cao Pi .
Although his writing is not as good as Cao Zhi, Cao Chong, and his martial arts is not as good as Cao Shuang and others, he has some qualifications as an emperor. He inherited his father's insidiousness and is particularly decisive in his actions. Because In this way, he could stand out among many brothers and become Cao Cao's chosen successor. However, such an outstanding figure only lived to the age of forty. You must know that Cao Pi has always been in good health, so why did he What if you died young in your prime? What are the reasons for this?
Both civil and military, but slightly mediocre
Cao Pi is the second son of Cao Cao. In terms of personal ability and brains, he is relatively outstanding among Cao Cao's many sons. But his ranking puts him in the first place. This is an embarrassing situation, because there is his eldest brother Cao Ang in front of him. If there is no such person, then he can naturally inherit Cao Cao's position by virtue of his status as the eldest son, but there is such an extra eldest brother that makes him and The position of heir was missed.
But Cao Pi did not give up and was still keeping an eye on the position of the heir. After all, Cao Cao had not yet completely determined who would succeed him, which meant that among Cao Cao's many sons, any one of them might become the future Wei Dynasty. The master of the country, said that Cao Pi's ability was also very good. At that time, he could be said to be both civil and military. He could not only lead troops to fight and pacify the world, but also write down poems and songs. If such talents were replaced by other Dynasty, then Cao Pi must be regarded as a talented prince.
But who made him born in the Cao family? Compared with other brothers, his civil and military skills are a bit mediocre. I don’t know whether it is Cao Cao’s good genes or whether his children were born in such a noble family. After receiving a good education, many of Cao Cao's twenty-five children were outstanding. When it comes to leading troops in war, Cao Ang, as the eldest son, had followed Cao Cao in his early years. Therefore, in terms of military operations, Cao Ang's ability Definitely more prominent than Cao Pi.
If we compare literary talent, Cao Zhi’s writing style is really unparalleled among Cao Cao’s many children. Even though Cao Cao and Cao Pi are collectively known as the "Three Cao's of Jian'an", if we want to compare based on actual knowledge, Cao Pi really couldn't keep up with his younger brother, and was more about brains and resourcefulness. Cao Cao had a son named Cao Chong, who was already able to read and digit at the age of nine, and even had the same intelligence level as an adult. It was said at the time He was deeply loved by Cao Cao and once wanted to make him his successor.
After many twists and turns, he finally got his wish
Although Cao Pi's strength in all aspects was outmatched by his brothers, he was also lucky enough. In the previous battle, his eldest brother Cao Ang gave up his horse to protect Cao Cao during his retreat. Cao Pi married Cao Cao, and he chose to cut off the queen, so he died in battle. In this way, Cao Pi became the first among Cao Cao's many children.
Secondly, although Cao Zhi has literary talent, he does not care about politics and has no interest in fighting for political power. Even if Cao Cao intends to support him, Cao Zhi has no intention to participate in politics. This leaves Cao Pi with one less competitor. In the end, for him Cao Chong is the biggest threat. Judging from the situation at the time and Cao Cao's love for his son, if nothing else happens, then the future heir to the Cao Wei regime must be Cao Chong.
Unexpectedly, Cao Chong suddenly died of illness when he was thirteen years old. However, the cause of his death has been controversial. Some said he was bitten by a poisonous rat and died of poisoning, while others said he suffered from some sudden illness. The sexual disease was not treated in time. All in all, Cao Chong's death was full of doubts. Therefore, many people speculated that Cao Pi secretly murdered his brother in order to win the position of heir. This is consistent with There is no way of knowing what the truth is.
After this series of changes, Cao Pi finally got through. Cao Cao really had no more suitable candidate and could only choose Cao Pi. In this way, Cao Pi, who had been silently forbearing, finally got his wish and ascended the throne of the emperor. , After so much effort, and after many years of management and planning, Cao Pi, who became the emperor, naturally did not dare to slack off. During his reign, he was diligent in political affairs and carried out a series of reforms. First, he eliminated the powerful harem and prohibited the harem from participating in political affairs, and then weakened the local government. In this way, the power of the feudal king can be centralized in his own hands.
In addition, Cao Pi also focused on developing people's livelihood, adjusting prices, and balancing the development of the market economy . This allowed Wei to develop better on the original basis. Generally speaking, Cao Pi was also an accomplished person. Emperor, but such a wise king suddenly died of illness at the age of forty. It is said that Cao Pi should be in the prime of life at this age and his body was relatively healthy. Why did he die young?
What was the reason for Cao Pi's early death?
According to historical records and the actual situation at that time, there are three main reasons for Cao Pi's early death. First of all, the first aspect is the background of the times and the overall situation at that time. Environmentally speaking, although Cao Pi successfully ascended the throne of Wei, the foundation of Wei was not yet solid at this time. In order to stabilize the regime, Cao Pi often worked day and night on state affairs. Such overwork also took a toll on his body. had a great impact.
Secondly, Cao Pi indulged himself too much and did not exercise restraint. It is said that Cao Pi looked like Cao Cao when he was young. Not only was the city extremely deep, but he was also scheming. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have chosen him as his successor. Other than that In addition, Cao Pi is also very similar to his father, that is, he is greedy for women. Cao Pi's obsession with beautiful women is not inferior to Cao Cao. During his reign, he had dozens of concubines, and he went to have fun whenever he had free time. It was so unfair. Temperance overdrafts his body's consumption, a large amount of energy, and the body's resistance and immunity will naturally decrease as a result.
Finally, Cao Pi has a bad habit, that is, he likes to eat sweets. Whether it is vegetables or big fish or meat, he always likes to dip it in honey. Perhaps now, Cao Pi's liking for sweets can only be regarded as a personal diet. Habits, just like many girls like to drink milk tea and eat desserts, are not a big deal.
But little did they know that Cao Pi liked sweets to the point where he couldn't help himself. According to historical records, Cao Pi ate more than 600 kilograms of sugar. Although the specific time was not specified, excessive use of sweets will definitely affect his metabolism and Extremely adverse effects on physical health.
Conclusion
When Cao Pi died of a cold infection at the age of forty, it can be seen that at this age, the physical quality of the scalp is not as good as before, and it is not even as good as the elderly. But who can blame this?
Who made him not pay attention to his daily life and indulged his desires too much, which also caused him to overdraw his life in advance. In the end, he passed away just because of a small cold, which wasted so many years of planning and did not enjoy a few years in the end. Imperial life. The
