As we all know, in ancient times, women regarded their reputation as more important than their own lives. At that time, if women did not pay attention to chastity, they would be scolded by everyone, pointed at by everyone, looked down upon, and they could only have one husband in their life. Even if the husband died, they would still be You can't remarry easily.
Because people in ancient times were very superstitious, they believed that the death of the husband was not only related to them, but also related to the fate of the woman. If a woman's husband died, they would be called "kefu", if they wanted to remarry They will still be slammed by everyone for not being a widow, not widowed for their dead husband, and people think that when a woman dies, in that "world", there will be two husbands, which is unethical.
Therefore, people in ancient times did not have feelings for "widows", and they actively kept their distance from them. But there is such a great man who not only doesn't care about secular speech, but also prefers to marry a widow. He is the hero Cao Cao who said "I would rather be blamed by the world than others in the world" .
The Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into three kingdoms, Cao Wei , Shuhan , Soochow . Cao Cao was one of them, and he was also the founding monarch of the Wei Kingdom. Not only does he have the ability to lead troops to fight, but he also writes good poems. He can be said to be both civil and military, but he has always been a controversial person in history.

Controversial Cao Cao
This is about Cao Cao's character. Cao Cao's personality is outstanding, and he is a person with strong charisma. However, whether in our official history or in novels, the description of Cao Cao's image is relatively "ugly".
There was such a story of "Cao Cao's sleepwalking" , Cao Cao was suspicious of by nature, and did not trust anyone around him, so he often said to the ministers around him, "I want to kill people in my dreams; Don't wait."
One day, Cao Cao pretended to be sleeping in bed and dropped his quilt . The guard wanted to cover him with a quilt when he saw it, but as soon as he walked to the bed, Cao Cao drew his sword and killed him dropped him.

This move warned those who wanted to assassinate him, but the innocent guards died under his own good intentions. Similar to Cao Cao's insidious tricks, he has used a lot, which also makes most people think that Cao Cao is a treacherous and cunning "villain".
But that's not the case. He can be the most controversial person in history because of his versatility. As the saying goes, "If you don't do it for yourself, will destroy every day".

Aside from these, in the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao led his troops to win the battle that he would lose, and he found a letter from his subordinates to the enemy in the local military camp. It stands to reason that any leader would start a thorough investigation of his own troops, find the insider and kill him, but Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, not only did not kill the insider, but instead comforted him, telling him that the enemy is strong and we are weak, even if It is not shameful that an monarch like me will also think of a way out of failure. This move of
has improved the morale of the team and made everyone more willing to work for such a monarch.Here, Cao Cao also reflects his high emotional intelligence and broad mind.
It can be seen from this that Cao Cao is actually a talented, courageous and resourceful person, who knows poetry and prose, who can lead troops, who can govern a country, and who can employ people, but sometimes because of his own selfishness, he does some things that people like. Things that don't get up.
is like the love of widows mentioned above, which was very despised at the time. Could it be that Cao Cao likes widows, just because "is the hero saddened by the beauty?"
This is not the case. Cao Cao's widows who married all have one thing in common: They are the wives of generals whom Cao Cao defeated, and these widows all have forces .
In ancient times, no matter what kind of monarch, when governing a country, the most difficult thing to deal with was the "foreign relatives". You couldn't kill them all. This would make the people feel that the monarch was too cruel and thus lose the people's hearts, but they couldn't let it go. , their forces are very powerful, and one day they will develop to the point of controlling politics. There is another reason for
, marrying them, these forces can be used for their own use and easy to manage, and if they are left unchecked, it is equivalent to " returning the tiger to the mountain ", giving them a chance to take revenge.
Cao Cao is a monarch who loves heroes. He has the opportunity of killing two birds with one stone and . Naturally, he will not let it go. Besides, these widows are all famous beauties, such as Mrs. Du and Mrs. Zou, both of which are great. Beauty. After Cao Cao married them, he did not treat them with tough means as he imagined, but regarded them as his own and truly regarded them as his own family. This can reflect Cao Cao's big mind.
Cao Cao in such an era of heroes, if he had no ability, he would never have achieved such an achievement. Therefore, their strange behaviors have their own purposes. Although the means are obscene, they are easy to use.
