In the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, many rich families were formed, and they controlled the government's right to recommend personnel and guide public opinion. Scholars are all attached to the clan, and the turmoil in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was largely caused by the expansion of clan rights.
Cao Cao is committed to changing this situation. In order to fight for the control of talents by aristocratic families and break the monopoly of rich families on political power, he issued the slogans of "talent recommendation order" and "meritorious service promotion" many times. Throughout Cao Cao's life, he and the aristocratic families have always been cooperative and struggling.
In order to win the position of the Crown Prince, Cao Pi tried his best to follow the mass line and win over the aristocratic families. He had a very good relationship with the leaders of the giants at that time, and they also strongly recommended Cao Pi as the heir. This is easy to cause Cao Cao's jealousy, so he naturally regards xelloss as the opposite.
2. Personality
Cao Cao is brilliant, with the boldness of literati and the treachery of politicians. But in his bones, Lao Cao still pretends to be a scholar, and his inner pursuit is broadmindedness and boldness. This is the glorious side of Cao Cao, and it is also the side I want to show to the readers.
So he will love Cao Zhi very much. When he saw Cao Zhi, he thought of his younger self. He also encouraged Cao Zhi, who was just 23 years old, with his 23-year-old experience.
Cao Pi, on the other hand, is gloomy, suspicious and narrow-minded, all of which are extremely disgraceful aspects of Cao Cao's dual personality, which he deliberately hides. Even though Cao Pi is both civil and military, he is rarely appreciated by Cao Cao.
The support of aristocratic families and Cao Zhi's abandonment finally made Cao Cao's wish come to nothing. Even though he no longer likes xelloss, he still established the status of a prince.
