Cao Cao’s favorite eldest son and heir Cao Ang, unfortunately, died in the rebellion in the battle of Wancheng where Zhangxiu was conquered; Cao Cao’s wife, Mrs. Ding, was also heartbroken. To live alone at her natal family, the place she left behind was replaced by Mrs. Bian. Mrs. Bian's three sons Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi also became the sons of Cao Cao, and they also had the qualifications to compete for the heir to the Cao Wei regime.
Cao Zhi made a poem in seven steps and left his life
Because Cao Zhang was determined to be a general, acting as generals like Weiqing and Huo Qubing, leading a hundred thousand people in the desert Galloping, expelling Rong Di, and making meritorious deeds, so he withdrew from the controversy early. On the contrary, fierce competition broke out between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, so that after Cao Pi finally won with his own scheming and the status of the eldest son, he was once ready to attack Cao Zhi to relieve his hatred. However, due to brotherhood, he raised his hands high and left the allusion of "seven steps into a poem". "Shi Shuo Xinyu·Literature": " Emperor Wen tried to make a poem in the seven steps of King Dong'a, and those who fail to do it would practice Dafa; the poem said:'Boil beans and hold the soup, and the stalk is as juice; the stalk is under the kettle Burning, the beans are weeping in the cauldron; they are born from the same root, so why are you too anxious to fry them!” The emperor is ashamed of .”
Cao Zhangzhi’s death is foggy
Compared with Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang's fate is obviously more tragic. Although Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Wei Shu·Cao Zhang Biography" was vaguely written: " Four years, Chaojingshi, Yu Di, posthumous post title Wei ". However, there is such a shocking description in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu · You Hui Pian": "Wei Wendi is jealous of his brother Rencheng Wang Xiaozhuang. Because he was in the Queen Mother Pavilion of Bian to go chess and eat dates, Emperor Wen used poison Among the jujube stalks. Choose the edible one to enter, Wang Fuwu, and then mix it in. It is poisoned, and the queen mother asks for water to save him. The emperor destroys the bottles and cans on the left and right sides, and the queen mother walks to the well and has nothing to draw. So died. ”
Regardless of whether this description is in line with historical facts, it is unclear whether Cao Zhang died in vain when he came to Beijing to worship Cao Pi. This is indeed irrefutable, considering that Cao Zhang can give birth to the body of a tiger and a leopard. Quality, it is hard to believe that he would die normally when he was 35 years old. So, why does Cao Pi hate this brother of the same mother so much and need to get rid of him quickly?
曹张 has the ambition to support Cao Zhi or himself as the emperor
"The Biography of Cao Zhang" records: When Cao Cao died, "Yizhao" Zhang, before arriving, Taizu collapsed." At that time, Jia Kui was in charge of the funeral, and Cao Zhang rushed from Chang'an, "Ask the first king of Kui where Xishou is." At this time, what is the purpose of Cao Zhang's request for the Xishou left by Cao Cao? It is possible that he has developed a covetous heart and wants to be ambitious and self-reliant; or it may be because of his brother Cao Zhiming's injustice and want to help him win the position. Pei Songzhi's commentary quoted from "Wei Lue": "Zhang Zhi, saying that Linzi Hou Zhi said:'The first king called me, he wants to build you.' Zhi said:'No. Don't see the Yuan brothers!'"
Cao Zhang has the ability and strength to rebel
Unlike Cao Zhi, who relies on literary talent to establish his world, Cao Zhang is a military general with power in his hand, and " is good at shooting and fighting, and has great strength. , A beast with a hand and a beast, do not avoid dangers and obstacles. From the expedition, the intention is generous ", so that Cao Cao praised him and said "the yellow beard is so strange." In May of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), after the two-year battle of Hanzhong ended, Cao Cao led his army back to Luoyang. With Cao Zhangxing as a general, he stayed in Chang'an with hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hand to guard against Liu Bei’s Shuhan Group,.
For such a person who has both disobedience and military talents, and has long held a heavy hand, although Cao Pi is kind to him on the surface, he added 5,000 food towns at a time. But deep in my heart, I must hate and fear, and try to get rid of it.
