Caoyu calligraphy

Cao Cao is an outstanding monarch in history, and he has high attainments in literature, politics, calligraphy and many other aspects. He is also an affectionate species. He had many sons, but few of them were remembered by history or lived long. Apart from Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, we don't know much about his son. Today, let's look at Cao Yu, the son of Cao Cao. Few people know him. As the title says, Cao Yu is the oldest son of Cao Cao, and he has a very good relationship with Cao Cao until the reunification of the Three Kingdoms. Let's take a look at his life. Cao Yu and Cao Chong, a prodigy who died young, are brothers, but his life span is longer than that of Cao Chong. Cao Yu's date of birth is unknown, but he lived in the ten years after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty and witnessed two dynasties. He grew up in Wei Mingdi with Cao Cao. Although Cao Yu is Cao Cao's elder in terms of seniority, the age gap between them is not big, which may be because they have a good relationship. There should be more topics to talk about between peers. After Cao Cao ascended the throne, he attached importance to Cao Yu and promoted his position in the imperial court. He not only sealed his throne, but also restored him to his post. He did not shy away from the minister and asked him to help Fuzheng. Later, when Cao Cao was seriously ill, he wanted Cao Yu to be a general. Cao Yu doesn't really have much talent. He was made king and marquis because he was the son of Cao Cao. Although he is honest and gentle, he is not worthy of great responsibility, but his unyielding character makes him get along well with other brothers and compatriots. He flatly refused, and Cao Cao asked him and Cao Shuang to assist Master Cao Fang one after another. Cao Shuang and others persuaded Cao Cao to let Cao Shuang and * * * help, and Cao Cao agreed. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Yu was targeted, not only losing his official position but also being expelled from the palace to prevent him from affecting state affairs. As his monarch, Cao Yu had to feel at ease, even if his heart was uneven and helpless, and he did not participate in the political struggle of Cao Wei. Later, Sima Jia seized the political power of Cao Wei, and Cao Yu was also given preferential treatment and lived his own life until he died of old age.
