The so-called child prodigy refers to a child who is young but brilliant. If you talk about the first prodigy of the Three Kingdoms era at the end of Han Dynasty, it is Cao Chong, the son of Cao Cao.
About the story of Cao Chong, later generations are well-known as "Cao Chong called the elephant". It was through this incident that people remembered Cao Cao, the talented child prodigy. But unfortunately, since ancient times, Tian was jealous of talents. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), the child prodigy Cao Chong died of illness at the age of thirteen.
However, it should be pointed out that in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty, there was another prodigy who was as famous as Cao Chong. This person is also young but resourceful, and he won the admiration of the people at the time. But sadly, it was because of his talent that Cao Cao hated him and eventually assassinated him.
So, who is the prodigy of the Three Kingdoms who is as famous as Cao Chong? Why can't Cao Cao tolerate him? Let’s listen to this article in detail:
According to the "Lingling Sage Biography": "Zhou does not doubt, the characters are straight, Lingling people. No doubt that there are strange talents in the young, smart and sensitive Da, Taizu wanted to be a female wife, but he did not dare to be a wife. Taizu loved his son Cangshu, and he was talented, saying that he could and do not doubt. "
The Cangshu in the above record is Cao Chong, Cao Chong wrote Cangshu. It can be seen that this child prodigy of the Three Kingdoms, who is as famous as Cao Chong, is the Lingling Zhou.
Facing Zhou Busu’s brilliant talents, Cao Cao originally admired him so much that he even wanted to marry his daughter. However, an event that came suddenly brought a major turn for Zhou Busu's fate. This is the death of Cao Chong.
also according to the "Lingling Sages Biography": "Being in a hurry, Taizu was jealous and wanted to get rid of it. Emperor Wen thought it was impossible, Taizu said: "This person is beyond your control. . ‘I sent an assassin to kill it. ”
It can be seen that it was Cao Chong’s untimely death that caused Cao Cao’s mental disorder and jealousy spontaneously. Cao Cao didn’t want to see Zhou Wusu leading the boy alone. Coquettish. What's more deadly is that when Cao Cao saw Zhou Doudou, he would think of his beloved son Cao Chong, who had just died. The force of grief drove Cao Cao, causing his jealousy and resentment to flourish. The idea of killing Zhou Busu.
After hearing about this, Cao Pi, who always cherishes his talent, went to persuade Cao Cao, but he was ridiculed by Cao Cao. Cao Cao said to Cao Pi earnestly, You can’t control Zhou Buyu with your ability. If you speak so bluntly, Cao Pi will surely be very heartbroken when he hears it. So, Cao Pi stopped admonishing, and Cao Cao sent an assassin to kill Zhou Busu secretly and died. He was only seventeen years old.
So far, Zhou Buxu, a genius boy with the same fame as Cao Chong, was jealous by Cao Cao because of Cao Chong’s death, and eventually died sadly at Cao Cao’s Hand. The death of Zhou Busu, from the side reflects that Cao Cao's tolerance is not very big.
