Cao Zhi was very clever since he was a child. As a teenager, he can read The Book of Songs, The Analects of Confucius and the Ci and Fu of the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. A hundred schools of thought contend and are widely involved. He is quick-thinking and sharp-tongued. When meeting Cao Cao, he often answers irrelevant questions and blurts them out.
Cao Cao once read an article written by Cao Zhi and asked him in surprise, "Did you ask someone to write it for you?" Cao Zhi replied, "Whatever you say, just write an article. You just have to take the exam face to face. Why do you want to ask someone to do it for you! " ?
In addition, he is frank and natural, does not pay attention to solemn appearance, gorgeous chariots and horses, and does not pursue splendor and wealth, which naturally suits Cao Cao's taste. Gradually, Cao Cao began to transfer his love to Cao Zhi. ?
2, seven steps into a poem
Cao Zhi is very talented and proficient in astronomy and geography. When it comes to North Korean politics, he is eloquent and well-governed, so he has great prestige in North Korea, which can be described as a prestige in the ruling and opposition! All this xelloss saw in his eyes, and his jealousy arose, which made him angry. He regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, persecuting him everywhere.
Ministers still make irresponsible remarks in front of the emperor, and rumors mislead the public. Why did Cao Zhi enter the palace one day, and the chickens and dogs in the palace were restless? If they rebel and attempt to usurp the throne in the future, wouldn't it be a great harm to the palace? It's better to start first and get rid of the roots, so as to avoid sleeping in the future. Cao Pi listened to rumors and decided to start today.
Just in time for a rebellion, Cao Pi decided that Cao Zhi was the mastermind. At noon, Cao Pi sent his brother Cao Zhi to meet him in the billiards hall. When Cao Zhi arrived, he was stopped by the guards who ambushed him earlier. When I met Cao Pi, Cao Zhi said, "What did my brother send me to do?" The generals said, "Prime Minister Cao must know what is going on in the palace. You hold a grudge against me for inheriting the throne. Did you order it? "
Cao Zhi sighed, saying, "My brother suspects me of rebellion and wants to usurp the throne! I dare not take responsibility for this crime. Please ask your brother to see clearly. " Cao Pi couldn't refuse, so he had to say, "Well, for the friendship between you and my brother, I order you to write a poem that reflects the feelings of brothers within seven steps, but the word brother can't appear in the whole poem." Otherwise don't blame me for ruining my family. "
"It's easy to do. If I can't write a poem in seven steps, you can do whatever you want. " Cao Zhi said confidently. "Frank! Frank. We have a deal. " Xelloss say that finish, Xia Houdun took the first step, all of a sudden, he smelled the smell of boiled beans floating in the distance, inspired by generate, to lyric, when just go to the sixth step, he made this well-known poem:
"Boiled beans with soup, you think it is juice. Honey burns under the pot, and beans cry in the pot. This is the same root, why rush to speculate with each other? " After the poem was written, Cao Zhi said to Cao Pi, "Although we are divided into monarch and minister, after all, we are connected by flesh and blood, why should we shirk each other?" Brothers and sisters?
I have no intention of competing with your rights. No matter who is the monarch, I will faithfully follow without complaint! An open gun is easier to stop than an open gun. If you want to kill me, it's simple. Why bother? My father can't be satisfied in the grave. "xelloss listened to, be barge have nothing to say.
3. The tragedy of Luoshen
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi ascended the throne in the 26th year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (AD 229), with its capital in Luoyang, which is Wei Wendi. Wei Jianli. Zhen Shi was made a princess and died of depression the following year.
The year after Zhen's death, Cao Zhi went to Luoyang to see his younger brother. Cao Rui, the prince of Zhenhaosheng, accompanied his uncle to dinner. Cao Zhi looked at his nephew and remembered the death of Empress Zhen. His heart is very sour. After dinner, Cao Pi gave Cao Zhi the jade carving gold belt pillow, a relic of Zhen Xuan. Cao Zhi sees things and thinks about people. When he returned to the fief, he spent the night on the boat. In a trance, he saw Zhen against the wind coming from a distance. Cao Zhi got a fright and woke up. It turned out to be a dream of Conan.
Back in Juancheng, Cao Zhi's mind was still churning with the scene of meeting with Luoshui during the Zhenguan period, so he wrote an essay "Feeling" with myriad thoughts. Four years later (AD 234), Ming Di Cao Rui succeeded to the throne. Because the original name was indecent, it was changed to Luo Shenfu.
Step 4 worry about life
In the fourth year (223), 32-year-old Cao Zhi moved to the king. In the sixth year of Huang Chu (AD 225), Cao Pi returned from the southern expedition, passed by Qiu Yong and met Cao Zhi, adding another 500 households. In the seventh year of Huang Chu (226), Cao Pi died of illness and Cao Cao succeeded to the throne, namely Wei Mingdi. Cao Zhi, who goes forward bravely, is eager to display his talents. He wrote passionately to Cao Cao many times, demanding political appointment.
A fist can move a heart of stone. Cao Cao, who is too calm and rational, is as old as an ancient well and humble. He only pays lip service to Cao Zhi's various confessions and demands. Cao Cao still kept strict precautions and restrictions on him, and his situation did not fundamentally improve. During the period of Emperor Wenming 12, Cao Zhi moved to Chenjun several times.
In the third year of Taihe (229), 38-year-old Cao Zhi moved to Dong 'e, during which he devoted himself to writing and studying Confucian classics. In the sixth year of Taihe (232), Cao Zhi was renamed Chen Wang. Cao Zhi died of depression in June of 1 1 at the age of 4 1, and was buried in East Ayushan according to his wishes. Later generations called him "King Chen" or "King Chen Si".
5, the heir dispute
In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10), the Tongque Terrace built by Cao Cao in Yecheng was completed, and a group of scholars were called to "pay tribute on the stage", among which Cao Zhi was one. Of all the people, Cao Zhi was the only one who put pen to paper with a little thought. He was the first to hand in his paper, which was called "Ode on the Stage". Since then, Cao Cao has placed high hopes on Cao Zhi, thinking that he is the person who can achieve great things most.
In the 19th year of Jian 'an (2 14), Cao Zhi was renamed Linzihou. This year, Cao Cao levied Sun Quan, ordered Cao Zhi to stay in Yecheng, and admonished him: "I was twenty-three years old when I served as Dunqiuling, and I never regretted what I did at that time. Now that you are 23 years old, how can you not work hard to become stronger! "
Cao Zhi was favored for his talent, so Rockett, Ding Gang, Yang Xiu and others came to help him. Cao Cao hesitated and almost made Cao a prince several times. However, Cao Wenzhi's popularity is too good, and he is also talented. He often acts willfully, neglects self-restraint, and drinks excessively. He has done several things that make Cao Cao very disappointed.
Especially in the twenty-second year of Jian 'an (2 17), when he was far away from Cao Cao, he took a royal chariot and horse, opened the Sima gate of the palace gate, and indulged himself in the forbidden road where only emperors could hold ceremonies until he enjoyed himself in Guinness. He has long forgotten Cao Cao's decrees. Cao Cao was furious and carried out the bus order in charge of royal chariots and horses.
Since then, the laws and regulations on governors have been aggravated, and Cao Zhi has gradually lost Cao Cao's trust and love. In October, Cao Cao called Cao Pi a prince. From then on, Cao Zhi bid farewell to the high-spirited and hard-working life stage and fell into deep sorrow and depression. ?
