The lifespan of the ancients was usually relatively short, especially in war-torn times, which was even shorter. After years of wars during the Three Kingdoms period, coupled with frequent wars of abnormal deaths, the average life expectancy of a person is less than forty years.
But emperors are different. As emperors, they have a better living environment and their living conditions are also very good. Their daily lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people.
suspicious Cao Cao died of a head disease when he was 466. At that time, only those who could treat this disease were Hua Tuo . However, when Hua Tuo told his treatment plan, Cao Cao killed the miracle doctor on the charge of murder.
Later, Cao Cao, who took the emperor to order the princes, died of illness at the age of 1999. His son Cao Pi After ascending the throne, he died at the age of 40. According to common sense, Cao Pi's life is more than that. Why didn’t Cao Pi live his father after he became King of Wei?
Wine is a poison of fierce fire, and color is a killer of murder. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi's excessive release of himself was one of the main reasons for his failure to live a long life. Cao Pi was also very dedicated when competing for his successor. Not only in terms of civil and military affairs, he had to do everything possible to benchmark his younger brother Cao Zhi .
Cao Ang saved Cao Cao and died. Cao Pi had comprehensively studied and practiced in all aspects. In addition to his younger brother Cao Zhi, whose literary talent was slightly inferior to his own, his comprehensive strength was indeed above Cao Zhi.
Therefore, Cao Pi inherited the Cao family's family business as he wished and directly abolished Emperor Xian of Han and established himself as king. After Cao Pi took over the power, although there were no major flaws in comprehensive management, he had no control over his management. After Cao Cao's death, he began to let himself go.
often pulls the ministers and generals of his elite group to drink, and lives in the wine pool and meat forest all day long. Drinking and having fun can no longer relieve the depression in his heart for many years.
he began to indulge in darkness. After becoming king, he began to build the basic construction of the seventy-two concubines in the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards. Judging from the fact that he captured Yecheng and took Zhen Mi before Cao Cao took away Zhen Mi, Cao Pi, who liked young women's style, did inherit the special preferences of his father Cao Cao. Cao Cao felt very sorry when he learned that Yuan Shao daughter-in-law Zhen Mi became his own daughter-in-law.
After Cao Cao's death, in order to fill the three palaces and six courtyards, he accepted all the beauties left by Cao Cao as a single person. He often held some talent shows, and soon he enjoyed it.
In addition to governing the country, he often drinks excessively, sings every night, and has a daily sex fun. Not only were the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, but the maids were the targets of his indulgence at any time.
Cao Pi, who has been drinking for a long time, still entered the taboo of diabetes . Later scholars believe that Cao Pi inherited the symptoms of diabetes in the paragenetic family, so drinking alcohol has led to worsening of the disease.
plus his excessive indulgence caused him not to live to a normal age. Cao Pi, who had excessive indulgence, had a daily joy of fish and water, resulting in the loss of essence and blood, which was also an aspect of his premature death.
defeated Dongwu three times
In fact, in addition to excessive indulgence, Cao Pi's lifespan was short, another important reason was that it became ill. After inheriting the family business, Cao Pi also wanted to complete the task of unifying the world without completing the mission of Cao Cao, but he chose to attack Dongwu three times in a row, all of which ended in failure.
The failure of these three battles also had a great blow to Cao Pi. Cao Cao left him a wealthy family foundation, but he did not reasonably use the characteristics of each of them.
Cao Ren , Zhang Liao , Zhang He and other veterans are all civil and military talents. However, Cao Pi chose to attack the Eastern Wu, which had obvious advantages in water warfare, so it was naturally undesirable to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, which was naturally undesirable. This is also an important reason why Cao Pi failed to attack the Eastern Wu three times.
At this time, all the members of Cao Cao left behind were there. Why didn’t anyone take the initiative to persuade Cao Pi? Isn’t it a way to attack Dongwu like this to hit the stone with eggs? At this time, why didn’t I reuse Sima Yi after attacking ?
In fact, attacking Dongwu was Cao Pi's stubborn opinion. He wanted to improve his performance and realize his ambitions by attacking Dongwu. This was the time when he couldn't listen to others' words.
When Cao Pi attacked Eastern Wu for the first time, the two sides attacked and defended each other. At a stalemate, the two families reached a tacit understanding and retreated their troops and made peace. Because the front line of this battle was too long, if Shu Kingdom chooses one and starts attacking with all its strength, it will definitely cause a devastating blow. Cao Wei famous generals came out in full swing, and Cao Pi was worried.
The second time is exactly the flooding period of Yangtze River . Not only is the water flow fast, but the water volume is also large. The warship carefully prepared by Cao Wei was stranded in the wave. In this way, the strategy of solving the problem in one battle was actually not realized.
Returning in a defeat made Cao Pi very worried. At this time, Sima Yi was a capable adviser of Cao Wei. At this time, the weather and water flow situation in the Yangtze River area should be easily identified.
At this time, Sima Yi did not come out to stop him. In fact, Sima Yi did not have the ability to be the best in the world, but Sima Yi was indeed a master of power.
At this time, he had already started to taste gall without any salary, waiting for the opportunity to come, and once he gained military power, he implemented his own subversion plan. Sima Yi's failure to be valued was Cao Cao's last words left to Cao Pi. At this time, Cao Cao had just died, and he still remembered this last words.
The third attack summed up the experience of the first two times and chose to gather 100,000 warship soldiers to launch a large-scale attack in October. At this time, Sun Quan was also very worried.
But he could only fight for the wronged, but what Cao Pi did not expect was that the Eastern Wu was surprisingly cold this year, and the river surface was rarely frozen. The Wei army could only retreat, and on the way to retreat, they were attacked by the Wu army's suicide squad and retreated in a panic.
Overworked illness
The three failed operations not only cost Wei State a lot of combat resources, but also did not obtain substantial combat benefits. Cao Pi almost sank in the river in the first battle. The last time he was caught in Dongwu, dragging his weak body back.
Fat long battles on the battlefield, I suffer from wind and cold diseases. According to common sense, I am sick and have been exhausted for a long time. I should take medicine and rest in peace and recover my body first. But Cao Pi did not forget the sex fun at this time, and he was lucky to be fucked everywhere every night.
At this time, Cao Pi reused Sima Yi. Cao Pi felt that he could control Sima Yi and began to reus Sima Yi. Sima Yi did not forget to repay his master. often gives a few beauties as gifts, but at this time Sima Yi has already begun to bury the seeds of rebellion.
When Cao Pi was seriously ill, he still indulged in lust. Cao Pi looked for wine and had fun with his beautiful group every day, and sang every night. gave Cao Pi an undisciplined life the last arrow of death. Cao Pi finally died of sudden illness under the comprehensive factors of excessive debauchery, wind and cold, and overwork.
summary
Since ancient times, the emperors who have been restrained have led their elite groups to a more glorious historical moment. There are many more self-disciplined emperors in history and have achieved good results.
Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, Emperor Qianlong Hongli. In this way, Cao Pi, who seemed to be undisciplined, became king and died at the age of forty, which indirectly led to the decline of the Cao Wei group.
Cao Pi's indulgence and uncontrollable life led to his death prematurely, and his successor's ability is worse than that of the next generation. In the end, the Cao Wei regime became a platform for Sima Yi and his family to display their ambitions. In the end, the final winner of the Three Kingdoms was not the once powerful Wei Kingdom, nor the Wu Kingdom with natural dangers, nor the Renhe Shu Kingdom, but the Jin founded by the Sima family.
