On June 29, 2226, 40-year-old Cao Wei the founding emperor Wei Wendi Cao Pi passed away. The baton of the Cao Wei regime was passed to the next generation. The founding emperor, who had only been in power for 7 years, came to a hurried curtain call.
I was ignorant when I was a child, and with the exaggeration in various movies and TV dramas, when I read Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, I couldn't help but sympathize with Cao Zhi, and inexplicably felt a trace of hatred towards Cao Pi, thinking that he was just a calculating villain. , Only when I grew up did I gradually understand some secrets.
Cao Pi's rise to power is inevitable. Whether it is Cao Zhi or Shentong Cao Chong, it is just an episode on his way to power.
Every experience in life is not meaningless.
In the turbulent years, Cao Pi learned archery when he was six years old. At the age of eight, he learned to ride a horse. Since he was ten years old, he has been fighting in the north and south with his father. During the years of fighting in the north and south, he has experienced countless life and death, and even had the experience of escaping from the besieging soldiers alone.
achieved his military exploits one by one. Although he did not stand out in the Cao Wei regime with many generals, he was already rare among the younger generation. He is also worshiped as a lieutenant general with five senses. During this period of military service, he understood life and death and broadened his mind. Cao Chong, who had never experienced the world, could not compare to him, and Cao Zhi, who was a prodigy in writing, could not imagine.
It has been natural since ancient times for literati to look down on each other.
After the two people Cao Cao were optimistic about passed away one after another, the position fell on Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Cao Cao had been indecisive about establishing an heir for a long time, which led to the two of them forming factions and fighting with each other. Cao Zhi once had many opportunities to become the prince with the support of powerful ministers. In the end, the experiences in the first half of their lives determined the fate of the two of them. Because Cao Zhi had always behaved willfully, he broke into Simamen drunkenly and ended up far away from the center of power.
Cao Pi developed the habit of strict self-discipline during his long military career, and eventually moved to the center of power. In 219, Wei Xi and conspired to rebel. Cao Pi led his troops to quell the rebellion and killed Wei Xi, thus clearing his path in one fell swoop.
Who says the river is wide? A reed can sail.
220, Cao Pi succeeded as Prime Minister and King of Wei. In the same year, he inherited the throne, ending the Han Dynasty's more than 400 years of rule and establishing the Wei State. Within 7 years of his reign, he formulated and implemented the nine-level Zhongzheng system , which became the main official selection system in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. He concentrated the yellow power, purified the official style, pacified the separatist forces in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and laid the foundation for internal stability. laid the foundation and finally completed the unification of the northern region.
externally suppressed border troubles, repulsed Xianbei , repaired with Xiongnu , Di, Qiang and other foreign barbarians, and resumed the construction of Western Regions . This series of operations are all based on the fact that when he was a child, he was both civilized and martial, well-read in classics and biographies, and well versed in the theories of various schools of thought.
Life is like nothing, so why worry? When
was in power, he deprived the vassal king of his power, leaving the vassal king with no political or military power. During this period, a play that became a poem in seven steps was staged, and the two protagonists in the play, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, were no longer on the same level. Cooking beans and burning bean sprouts, although there is no poetry to support the brotherhood described in it, Cao Pi at that time was already thinking about the problem from a perspective higher than brotherhood. The horizon has been opened to a wider world, and has a diameter at breast height of that can accommodate the world.
From ancient times to the present, there is no country that is immortal, and there is no country that does not dig its grave.
Life has a shape of seven feet, and death has only the soil of a coffin. Only by establishing virtue and becoming famous can one be immortal. The next best thing is to write books.
I have experienced many emperors and generals, but Cao Pi is the only one who cares about life and death. Perhaps there are many opportunities to face life and death during your military career, and you have seen through life and death at that time. Some people say, "If a person knows that he will definitely die, it will be easier for him to have correct views." Cao Pi obviously knew that, so he paid attention to his own virtue. Even when he gave instructions about his funeral before his death, he made it clear and simple, saying that no trees would be buried. On June 29, 1226, Cao Pi died of illness in Luoyang, at the age of forty. His posthumous title was Emperor Wen, his temple name was Shizu, and he was buried in Shou Yangling.
Cao Pi was good at five-character poetry and made certain contributions to poetry, fu, and literature. Together with his father Cao Cao and his younger brother Cao Zhi, he was known as the "Three Cao Caos of Jian'an". After his death, he left two volumes of "Collection of Emperor Wen of Wei". He is the author of "On Classics", the "Essay" is the first systematic literary criticism monograph in the history of Chinese literature.
