I have to say that people think that Cao Pi is a bit too treacherous. In order to inherit Cao Cao's position, he killed his brother at all costs. In fact, this is completely unnecessary. Even if Cao Chong is favored again, his chances of succession are not great, not only because he is a child, but also because he is not a direct descendant. It is difficult to bridge the gap between ordinary people and ordinary people. So is it necessary for xelloss to hurt a child?
Cao Ang died to protect Cao Cao. Cao Pi is the eldest son of Cao Cao and should have the right of inheritance. His biggest competitor is Cao Zhi, not Cao Chong. Cao Cao only likes Cao Chong, and it is almost impossible to establish Cao Chong. In ancient times, the tradition of inheriting the throne was usually inherited by the eldest son. It is not traditional to establish a younger son under the condition of the eldest son. Therefore, it is natural for xelloss to inherit this position.
And the relationship between xelloss and Cao Chong has always been very good. I just have a gap with Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi can recite poems and draw pictures, but he can't govern the country. In addition, Cao Cao's ministers are basically Cao Pi's. Cao Cao won't have other ideas.
So I think Cao Chong probably died of illness, and ancient medical care was underdeveloped. Now minor illnesses can be terminally ill. In ancient times, his second brother's sons all died young except Cao Cao. Even if he doesn't die young, he may not win. Now he is only said to be a child prodigy, but there are many examples of hurting Zhong Yong. Besides, his mother, Mrs. Huan, is only a concubine, and Mrs. Bian is still a wife.
Even if you don't talk about it, xelloss won the office on his own. He has Wu Zhi, Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Zhu Shuo, who are four friends of Cao Wei. Jia Xu, an old fox, supports him. Cao Pi has his own team. /kloc-Cao Chong, born on 0/96, will be late to form his own team even if he doesn't die young, unless Cao Cao helps him to form it.
