Cao Cao, the founder of the "Cao Family Class", why is there no successor? Is it exhausting the "confidence" of the Cao family and prepaying the blessings of the descendants? Or is it just because you're too strong? There is no doubt that cao cao is definitely a tyrant who is difficult to get out of in a hundred years, otherwise there would be no "Sima Ban" or anything, let alone the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" that affected history.
After Cao Huan's death, Sima Zhao wanted to establish a new monarch, picked and chose, and met a teenager named Cao Huang. Cao Huang was born in 246, the grandson of Cao Cao and the son of Cao Yu the Prince of Yan, and was given the title of "Duke of Changdao Township" at that time. Why did you come to Cao Huang as emperor? Sima Zhao once conducted an examination: this 15-year-old boy was very rich and had the appearance of an emperor; He has a very good temper, and it is estimated that he will not write blood edicts and use knives and guns like Cao Fang and Cao Xi; And the age is also very appropriate, 15 years old, the personality has been basically fixed, as a descendant of Cao Huang for grandpa and father's heroism has not inherited at all. Soft and soft card, will be very obedient, how easy to arrange. How could such a puppet Sima Zhao go away.
However, Sima Zhao felt that Cao Huang's name was a bit undesirable: "Huang" refers to beautiful jade, but the shape of this jade is half a wall. Sima Zhao couldn't help but frown, reminiscing about the current situation of the dispute between the three kingdoms.
This year is exactly 260 years. At that time, in the Shu Kingdom, Zhuge Liang was already dead, and the later lord Liu Fan was a confused worm, such as his old son Liu Bei was not a progression. All day long I only know how to eat, drink and have fun, so for the State of Wei, the enemy of the State of Shu is no longer terrible. The terrible thing is that the Shu Kingdom also has a marshal who is good at war, that is, Jiang Wei. This Jiang Wei has always advocated the Northern Expedition to the State of Wei, although this Northern Expedition, like some sports projects today, the level is always in the same place, can not rush into the mainstream circle, but through the Northern Expedition, the team was trained, the implementation of the "attack for defense" strategy, let people know that there is another Shu state, still standing there. As long as the Shu state existed, no matter how powerful the Wei state was, it could only possess half of the country. No, not even half of the country, because there is still a Eastern Wu in the southeast! Wei Guo wanted to unify the world, and the task was heavy and the road was long, and it was not an easy task. Therefore, the name Cao Huang had to be changed. What to change to? Changed to Cao Wan. 奂, is the meaning of grand, numerous, extended to strong and prosperous, auspicious, very good! The emperor's word is called "Jingming"! Jingming, Jingming, the prospect is bright, and it is also very good.
Therefore, the original Cao Huang did not exist and became Cao Huan; The original "Changdao Xianggong" no longer existed and became the emperor. The imperial court held a ceremony for the enthronement of the new monarch, changing the era name to Jingyuan, and Cao Huan became the emperor in a decent manner.
At this time, it was May of 260, the central plains were warm and sunny, and the ears of wheat were yellowing; The land of Bashu is verdant and the rapeseed is fragrant. Both the State of Wei and the State of Shu had already passed through the years of no grain, and the war horses were fat and the soldiers were strong enough to fight.
Therefore, Sima Zhao's court requested war, and Cao Huan approved it, appointing him as Xiang Guo, sealing the Duke of Jin, and adding Jiu Xi. These official positions, honors, and prestige are very good, and can be described as "under one person, above ten thousand people." However, Sima Zhao no longer looked down on these titles, and what he wanted was the emperor's throne. He sealed the 100,000 yuan and ten thousand silks rewarded by the emperor in the treasury, and did not care about it.
In order to "take over" in a justifiable manner, in order to gain more capital, and even more in order to strengthen the troops of the Concubine clan in the process of leading the troops, he made up his mind to send troops to destroy Shu and make a final attempt. With god's help, the Wei army quickly occupied Fucheng and then marched into Chengdu. The Shu kingdom was in chaos, and the later lord Liu Chan simply surrendered. After the annihilation of Shu. Sima Zhao eliminated Zhong Hui, who was always ambitious and defected to the enemy, and the more "pure" members of the Sima clique formed a dead party and became more powerful. The "Cao Family Class" headed by Cao Wan, at this time, was thinning the western mountains and dying.
Sima Shi began to seize power from the "Cao Family Class". First of all, in dealing with the issue of Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Dynasty, Sima Zhao did not allow Cao Huan to come forward at all, and everything was decided by him. It is said that Cao Yan was the emperor of the State of Wei, and Cao Huan should be the ruler of the State of Wei. However, as a prisoner, Liu Chan came to Luoyang and saw Sima Zhao leading the State of Wei, and he did not feel Cao Wan's presence at all.
No one arranged for Liu Chan to meet Cao Huan, but he was informed to meet Sima Zhao. Liu Chan understood: it turned out that he was, the monarch of the State of Wei, and recalled that although he had destroyed the country, he was glad that he had never been such a puppet.
According to Sima Zhao's arrangement, Liu Chan lived in the State of Wei. It was just that Cao Wan, who was the same level as him, never showed up. He could only see Sima Zhaowei Yi Rilong, and Sima Zhao's princess was even called Empress; Sima Zhao's son was actually called the crown prince, wasn't this exactly the same as the emperor?
Just when Sima Zhao was triumphant, he suddenly suffered a stroke, and his condition deteriorated rapidly and he died soon after. The year was 265, and he was solemnly buried in the utmost glory.
After Sima Zhao's death, his son Sima Yan became the Prince of Xiangguo and was made the Prince of Jin. As soon as Jia Chong and the others saw that the time was ripe, they advised Sima Yan to emulate Cao Pi.
Dai Wei was proclaimed emperor. In December of that year, after careful preparation, Sima Yan imitated the model of Cao Pi's Han Dynasty and accepted the "Zen Concession" of the Wei Emperor Cao Yi, which was established for Emperor Wu of Jin and the State of Jin.
Cao Yan took the throne at the age of 15 and was forced to abdicate at the age of 20, beginning a long career of raising "old". Sima Yan was lenient with him, allowing him to enjoy his old age in peace, and Cao Yan died at the age of 57 and was posthumously honored as "Emperor Yuan".
Since Cao Huan returned to the west in time for the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", many records of the imperial family had been lost or destroyed during that chaos. Cao Wan's descendants have appeared in official records again, and we have no way of knowing whether he has descendants. In fact, from an objective point of view, Cao Wan does not need to blame himself too much, not that you are too cunning, but that Sima Shi is too cunning; It's not that you're too incompetent, it's that Sima Shi is too clever. Because from Sima Yi to Sima Shi, and then to Sima Zhao and Sima Yan, the men who came out of this family. One by one. Of course, if Cao Cao, the founder of the "Cao Family Class", is here, but history has no ifs.
