Days are everlasting

Cao Erpi, he is a good boss, if you get along well with him.

For members of the Sima family, this is relatively easy to achieve.

In contrast, Cao Cao, the boss of Cao, seemed too majestic.

As long as Boss Cao survived the reign, it would basically be a good day for the Sima family.

At the beginning of the 25th year of Jian'an, Boss Cao, who had a relapse of his old illness, finally couldn't hold on after returning to Luoyang.

For Master Sima, Cao Cao's death was a sign.

Anyway, because of the existence of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he still remembers some classic plots of the Three Kingdoms period very clearly.

What's more, although the three-legged posture has been formed now, the capitals of the "Three Kingdoms" have not yet been established. Cao Cao will not die, Cao Wei will not replace Han, how will the other Eastern Wu and Western Shu be established?

Cao Cao's death is almost doomed.

However, it should be noted that although Cao Pi is already the prince of Wei Wang, the rest of Cao Cao's sons have no chance to compete for the heir after he clarified his status, but it does not mean that they have no fighting power.

Cao Zhi, who prefers literary and artistic youth, will not say that he and Cao Pi's half-brother Huang Xuer Cao Zhang have heavy soldiers in their hands, and they are not easy to provoke.

In the 24th year of Jian'an, when Cao Pi stayed in Yecheng, the base camp of Cao Wei's forces as the prince of Wei, the Qiao man Wei satirized rebelled. After Cao Pi killed him, dozens of people were implicated.

The relationship between Cao Pi and Wang Can was very good, and he even sent him off by learning how to bray at Wang Can's mourning hall. The sons were slaughtered.

As for the 41-year-old Wang Can at the time of his death, Sima Shi is really not sure whether he will have a successor after his two sons were slaughtered.

This case involved a lot in the state of Wei. However, in Sima Shi's view, the subsequent incidents dealt a considerable blow to Cao Zhi and the ministers who supported him.

At this time, it is necessary to explain the composition of Cao Cao's staff.

In the early days of Boss Cao’s fortune, he was followed by a group of old brothers and fellow villagers from his hometown, so his native place is the same as Boss Cao’s, they are all from the Qiao and Pei areas, and these people belong to the Qiaopei Group.

Boss Cao’s hometown may have a lot of talented military generals, but the natives of civil servants generally do not belong there. People like Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, etc. all came from Yingchuan. These talents belong to the Ruying Group.

Of course, in the follow-up, both sides will more or less add some new forces. It is worth mentioning that the Ding brothers who support Cao Zhi are from the Qiaopei Group, and they are fellow villagers with the old Cao family. People who support Cao Pi, the de facto eldest son, are mostly A member of the Ruying Group.

There are also some, because of their stable status and people who are loyal to Cao Cao, they did not get involved in this factional dispute.

Most of the people in the Qiaopei Group have the military power, while the people in the Ruying Group are good at politics. These days, if there is a comparison of force value, it goes without saying which side has the upper hand.

But the problem is that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers are fighting for the position, and it is definitely impossible to fight for the control of the army, otherwise their father will definitely kill them first.

In fact, this is the same as the so-called township party and party struggle in later generations. There are only so many positions. The two factions are considered veterans of Cao Cao, and they are not convinced by each other. , Pulling up the people on your side, there will always be a result in the end.

In the end, Cao Pi won, and the Ruying faction that supported him had a promising future, and the Qiaopei faction was squeezed out.

Cao Cao's power has developed for so many years, and there are many people who defect to him. Naturally, there will be talents buried. There were some depressed people on both sides, but after one side gained the upper hand, for the losing side, the boss They may not have any influence for the time being, and the frustrated little shrimps can't sit still.

So many people were involved in the Wei Xi case, perhaps it was because some people wanted to take advantage of Wei Xi's opportunity to jump over the dragon's gate—however, they were killed in the cradle before they crossed the line.

The Wei Xie Group can be regarded as the less ambitious group of people in the Qiao Pei faction. Apart from Wei Xi and other small shrimps from Qiao Pei, their main characters are mostly like Wang Can's son. Liu Biao's subordinates in Jingzhou were voted under Boss Cao's subordinates before the Battle of Chibi, so they have always been excluded by the veteran group.

But their relationship with another group of people is also intricate, so Cao Zhi's forces were hit hard.

And Yang Xiu, who had been the backbone of Cao Zhi's think tank before, also died in the 24th year of Jian'an, and was ordered to be killed by Cao Cao himself. For Cao Zhi, this blow was not small at all.

Although Cao Cao said that he killed Yang Xiu because he was Yuan Shu's nephew, and he was afraid that he would take revenge in the future-yes, it was definitely not because of some "chicken ribs" that caused Cao Cao to be jealous and jealous. Master Sima Still very sure of Boss Cao's character - but in fact, it was because of Yang Xiu's position and his previous intervention in the selection of Cao's heir.

It is said that on a certain Cao Cao expedition, everyone saw him off. As parents and children, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi always had to express a few thoughts when they saw off their father.

Because Cao Zhi was favored at that time, as the younger brother, it turned out that he was the first to express his thoughts on his father's farewell expedition.

Cao Zhi wrote a Fu eloquently, expressing his literary talents heartily. When it was Cao Pi's turn, he didn't say a word, but expressed his dissatisfaction with his father through tears.

As a father, of course, he hopes that his son's feelings for him will be as strong as possible. Cao Pi's view shows his true feelings, and compared with Cao Zhi, who has not forgotten to show his literary talents, it suddenly shows up.

Coupled with the few stupid things Cao Zhi did, he gradually fell out of favor. After the love for Cao Zhi ceased, Cao Cao began to find fault with Cao Zhi and the people around him, and Yang Xiu was the first to bear the brunt.

Because in Cao Cao's test of his son, Yang Xiu repeatedly helped Cao Zhi, who almost lost the chain at a critical moment, which made Boss Cao very dissatisfied.

Yang Xiu led people to search the silk in Cao Pi's mansion, but in the end he was found to be framing Cao Pi, which was one of his charges.

After Yang Xiu was promoted as Xiaolian and changed to be a doctor, he has been working as the head of Cangcao in the prime minister's mansion, but according to the records, "At that time, there were many things in the military and the country, and Mr. Xiu knew everything from inside to outside, and he was satisfied with everything." Said that what Yang Xiu does must not only be his own job, Cao Cao also trusts him quite a lot-does not trust him make him "always know the inside and outside"? ——At that time, didn't Yang Xiu have the label of Yuan Shu's nephew?

Obviously it is impossible.

Then, the reason why Yang Xiu was finally executed was just an excuse.

It should be noted that although Cao Zhi failed to seize the heir apparent, Yang Xiuyou gradually alienated him, but because Cao Zhi was still Cao Cao's son, Yang Xiu did not dare to make it too obvious, and he lacked decisiveness.

If it is said that Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu in order not to leave a bad name for his son Cao Pi, it is possible that he did things in advance.

Master Sima said that there is no need for doubts about Cao Pi's vengeance.

The case of Wei satire—although Wei satiety is only a small employee in the prime minister's mansion, and his status is not very high, but this case, which was led by Cao Pi when Cao Cao was out to lead the army, since it is defined as a treason case, it is considered a case. The conclusion of the coffin was settled-many people from the Jingzhou scholar group died, and there were also some people who had surrendered to Cao Cao, including Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Quan.

Liu Biao, the former boss of Jingzhou, and his son Liu Xiu were fine, but Zhang Quan, who was related to the Cao family, was taken away.

In the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Pi lost his eldest brother Cao Ang, and he escaped from death. Cao Pi and Cao Ang were about ten years apart in age. In comparison, Cao Ang is simply a model image of brothers in Cao Pi's heart.

Cao Pi can't forget the battle of Wancheng, but the Zhang family is a model for Cao Cao to set him up regardless of past suspicions—the eldest son, nephew, and capable subordinate Dian Wei all died, and Cao Cao endured it—and Cao Cao returned it to his son Cao Cao. Both married Zhang Xiu's daughter to stabilize the Zhang family's heart.

Because Cao Jun was adopted by Cao Cao to his brother and changed from a son to a nephew, Cao Cao felt guilty about this son, and he has been slow to attack the Zhang family.

Then, in the 24th year of Jian'an, before the Wei satire case, Cao Jun died of illness.

Cao Jun was gone, and the bond between the Cao and Zhang families was completely broken. Cao Pi did not hesitate to pull in Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Quan when he was purging the people involved in the Wei satire case.

This is a typical gentleman's revenge. Ten years is not too late!

What a terrible thing to offend Cao Pi!

What needs to be explained is that the Jingzhou scholar group was purged and the Qiaopei group was suppressed. With the support of Cao Pi, the Ruying group became the head of Cao Wei's forces, and the golden age of the aristocratic family is coming.

The golden age of the aristocratic family is coming, which means that Cao Pi is bound to compromise the aristocratic family under certain circumstances.

Compared with Sima Yan in the Jin Dynasty who wantonly appointed the clan to hold power and excluded some scholars from encroaching on military power and other important powers, Cao Wei was even stricter on the clan, and the main source was Cao Pi.

Cao Cao's sons are not ordinary people, not to mention Cao Zhi and Cao Pi. Cao Zhang, the yellow beard, is extremely brave in military affairs, but after Cao Cao's death, he was depressed and even died suddenly.

Rather than saying that the world criticizes Cao Pi for being harsh to his brothers, it is better to see clearly that the source is the gentry.

After Cao Zhi lost his qualifications as an heir, his relationship with Cao Pi improved instead, and Cao Pi did not hesitate to show his brotherhood with Cao Zhi.

In terms of pure treatment, Cao Pi would never treat his brother badly.

And Cao Zhang, who had no competitive relationship with Cao Pi in the early morning, is the object of his brotherhood.

In the 23rd year of Jian'an, Daijun Karasuma rebelled, and Cao Zhangping returned from the rebellion. Cao Pi taught him how to deal with it, telling him not to take credit for pride, but to be humble, so Cao Zhang pushed all the credit to other generals in his answer, making Cao Cao more powerful. for loving him.

It can be said that the elder brother Cao Pi, in the eyes of the world, does not know how he treats Cao Zhi, but he treats Cao Zhang very well.

Before Cao Cao's death, someone told Cao Zhang, who was in Chang'an, to come back to see him for the last time.

Cao Wei's heir has long been determined, and Cao Cao will not make Cao Zhang, the son he has been cultivating for general talent, as his heir. It's just that his father wants to see his beloved son for the last time before he dies.

But after Cao Zhang came back, he asked a rebellious question, where he asked his father's seal.

When the news of Cao Cao's death came, Cao Pi and many others were still in Yecheng, the base camp, and he rushed to Luoyang almost day and night.

Although Cao Pi wanted to show his brotherhood to Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang obviously didn't appreciate it, and he was ready to have other thoughts.

Cao Pi is really beeping. Compared with Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi can be regarded as a good younger brother.

There are not as many people who support Cao Zhang as Cao Zhi, but judging from the two of them's own thoughts, it is Cao Zhi who wants to be good brothers with Cao Pi.

Sima Shi went to Luoyang with his father. His father was Cao Pi's confidant. Cao Pi inherited his father's position as prime minister and king of Wei. Naturally, he needed the help of his former confidants. Their family went to Luoyang relatively early.

Cao Pi can chat happily with a group of confidantes, and is also very kind to his younger brothers, but he is obviously indifferent to Cao Zhang.

Bian, who was promoted to queen mother, was a little embarrassed.

A group of ministers are also quite desperate for Cao Zhang's IQ.

But Cao Zhang couldn't make any big waves. As the legitimate heir, Cao Pi quickly stabilized the current situation.

In the spring of the 25th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao passed away and was succeeded by Cao Pi.

In March, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, changed the Yuan to Yankang.

Although Cao Pi held back for a while, he didn't change the emperor's yuan when his father just died, and explained to the world that the king and prime minister of Wei had changed, but it was almost enough to change the emperor's yuan only after a month.
