In this regard, the author of " Three Kingdoms " Chen Shou also commented: "Zhong Yao is proficient and reasonable, Hua Xin pure and virtuous, Wang Lang rich and rich, and the city is all handsome and handsome. The Wei family was in its early reign and began to ascend to the Three Secrets, and it was prosperous!" Let's talk about the life and achievements of the Three Dukes of Cao Wei .
1. Zhong Yao
Zhong Yao 151-230), whose courtesy name is Yuanchang, was from Changshe County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou (now Changge City, Henan Province). Zhong Yao was from the Zhong family of Yingchuan.

Later, he gained the trust of the power of the Prime Minister Cao Cao, and served as the Sili lieutenant, guarding Guanzhong , with outstanding achievements and was compared to Xiao He .
Especially when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's group were competing, Zhong Yao stabilized the princes in Guanzhong area, and even asked Ma Teng and others to assist Cao Cao in attacking Yuan Shao's group, which undoubtedly laid a good foundation for Cao Cao to unify Hebei. Therefore, when Cao Cao was granted the title of King of Wei, Zhong Yao was appointed as the Minister of Dali of Wei and other positions. After the establishment of Cao Wei, Zhong Yao first served as the court magistrate, and then promoted to Taiwei, ranking first among the three dukes.
Emperor Ming of Wei When Cao Wei was reigned, Zhong Yao was promoted to Taifu and was granted the title of Marquis of Dingling County. During the Three Kingdoms period, although Taifu had no real power, its status was above the Three Dukes. In the fourth year of Taihe (230), Zhong Yao died and his posthumous title was "Cheng" [2]. In the fourth year of Zhengshi (243), he was granted the temple courtyard of Emperor Wu of Wei. In addition, Zhong Yao was good at seal, clerical, regular, running and cursive calligraphy, and had great achievements in calligraphy, which promoted the development of regular script ( small regular script ), and had a profound impact on later generations of calligraphy. Later generations respected as the "ancestor of regular script". He is known as "King Zhong" together with the Calligraphy Saint Wang Xizhi .
2. Huaxin
Huaxin (157-January 30, 232), whose name is Ziyu , is from Gaotang County, Pingyuan County (now Gaotang County, Shandong Province). In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Xin appointed Taiwei Chen Qiu as his teacher, and was the same as Lu Zhi , Zheng Xuan , Guan Ning , etc. As we all know, Lu Zhi is the teacher of Liu Bei's , so Hua Xin can be said to be Liu Bei's uncle. Emperor Ling of Han When he was reigned, Hua Xin was a filial and honest man and served as a doctor. He was dismissed from an official due to illness. Later, Hua Xin was recruited by General He Jin and became the Shangshu Lang, and was also the prefect of Yuzhang , which was very popular with the people.
When Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, Hua Xin once surrendered and was treated with the former. When 's Battle of Guandu broke out, Hua Xin came to Cao Cao's command and served as the military officer of the Sikong. He was promoted to the Minister of State, Shizhong, and Shangshu Ling. When Cao Cao attacked Sun Quan, Hua Xin served as military advisor. Cao Cao was appointed as the queen, and Hua Xin served as the chief censor of the Wei State.

When Cao Pi usurped the Han , Hua Xin came to the hall to preside over the Zen ceremony and presented Cao Pi with the emperor's seal and ribbon. That is, Hua Xin had a lot of research on etiquette, documents and other contents. After Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui ascended the throne, Hua Xin was promoted to Taiwei and promoted to Marquis of Boping County. In the fifth year of Taihe (January 232), he died of illness at the age of 75, with his posthumous title of Jing.

However, other remarks such as "Please Remark on Zheng Xiaotong's Notes", "Commentary on Shu", "Please Receive Zen's Words", and "Memorial on Sun Wu" are also published in "Comprehensive Three Kingdoms".
3, Wang Lang
, influenced by literary works such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Wang Lang's reputation is obviously higher than that of Zhong Yao and Hua Xin. Wang Lang (?-228), whose real name is , Wang Yan , and his name is , Jingxing . He is from Tan County, Donghai County (now Tancheng County, Linyi City, Shandong Province). In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Lang studied under Taiwei Yang Ci , and was appointed as a doctor because he was well-versed in the classics. After Tao Qian took charge of Xuzhou , he recommended Wang Lang as Maocai and asked him to serve as the steward of Xuzhou Zhizhong.
Later, Wang Lang was promoted to the prefect of Kuaiji , and was loved by the people during his term. In the first year of Jian'an (196), Wang Lang led his army to resist Sun Ce, but because the latter was extremely brave, Wang Lang naturally suffered a defeat. After being captured by Sun Ce, Wang Lang refused to serve Jiangdong. So, Cao Cao summoned Wang Lang to his command. Wang Lang took several years to arrive at , Xudu, and was appointed as a counselor. After Cao Cao established the Wei State, Wang Lang served as a military officer and served as the prefect of Wei County. He also served as the official positions of Shaofu, Fengchang , Dali, etc., that is, he was mainly responsible for handling affairs in the rear, and did not follow the lord to fight south and north like other strategists.
After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Wang Lang first served as the censor, and then changed his position as Sikong, and was granted the title of Marquis of Leping Township. When Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui was reigned, Wang Lang replaced Hua Xin and took over the position of Situ, which also prompted him to be called " Wang Situ " by later generations. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong in , the plot of Wang Lang being angry to death by Zhuge Liang is fictional. However, in fact, Wang Lang did not come to the battlefield of the Northern Expedition of Shu Han. According to historical records such as "The Three Kingdoms" and other historical materials, Wang Lang died in the second year of Taihe (228), and his posthumous title was Cheng.
It is worth noting that Wang Lang's granddaughter Wang Yuanji was married to Emperor Wen of Jin Sima Zhao, and was born to Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan , and King Xian of Qi Sima You , that is, his descendants continued to flourish in Jin dynasty . Moreover, Wang Lang is knowledgeable and is a master of classics with his son , Wang Su . He has written "Biography of the Book of Changes", "Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period", "Biography of Filial Piety", and "Biography of the Official Zhou", and has thirty-four volumes of essays, most of which have been lost today. For the three Dukes of Cao Wei, they were all knowledgeable people, which was also an important reason why they were praised by Cao Pi.
