Cao Zhao: Cao Wei Sect Room, repeated migration

The spring in the north is late, and the trade winds are still cold in March. The opening chapter still reminds everyone to pay attention to protection when traveling. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many wise men and women who bloomed, and their descendants were usually mentioned in the history books, but often lacked popularity. This article will talk about Cao Zhao.

Cao Zhao was the son of Cao Cao and the son of Lady Huan, who had three sons: Cao Chong, Cao Zhao, and Cao Yu, and among the three brothers, Cao Chong was a well-known prodigy, and Cao Yu was among the candidates of the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui considering the selection of auxiliary ministers, and Cao Zhao did not have such a loud reputation as them. Cao was created marquis of Fanyang in the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), and moved to Wanhou in the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217).

In the second year of the Huang Dynasty (221), Emperor Cao Pi of Wei made many of his brothers dukes, such as Cao Zhang, who was made duke from Yan yān Ling, and Cao Zhao, who was also made duke of Wan from Marquis Wan. In the third year of the Huang Dynasty (222), Cao Pi again sealed his brothers, and in the case of the Three Kingdoms Chronicle of Emperor Wen, he crowned eleven people as kings this time, combined with the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Wen and the Records of the Officials of the Jin Dynasty, at that time, only the heirs of the monarch, such as Cao Pi's son Cao Rui, and Cao Pi's brothers.

"In March, Li Qi gongrui was made the king of the plains, and eleven other people, including the emperor's brother YanLing Gongzhang, were kings. The sons of the first feudal kings were the Township Dukes, the Sons of the Heirs were the Marquis of Ting, and the Sons of the Dukes were the Tingbo" - Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Chronicle of Emperor Wen

"From now on, non-princes may not be kings, and the branches of the kings are all close relatives of the royal family, and each of them is crowned with the grace of Tutui" - "Jin Shu · Chronicle of Officials"

Cao Also entered the throne of Zhangling from the Duke of Wan in the same year, and migrated to become the King of Yiyang in the same year. Cao Pi was quite harsh on the sons of the clan and repeatedly moved their fiefdoms, which can be seen from Cao Zhao's experience. Cao Pi once moved Cao Zhao to the King of Pengcheng again on the grounds that Cao Zhao's mother, Lady Huan, was the King of Pengcheng, and soon became the King of Jiyin.

In the fifth year of the Huang Dynasty (225), Cao Pi issued an edict, taking the example of the merger of counties and counties by Emperor Guangwu of Han, and changed the kings to county kings, and their fiefs were no longer counties, and the fiefs affected by this were changed to Dingtao County. By the time of Emperor Cao Rui of Wei, in the sixth year of Taihe (232), he changed his title to kings, and this time the fief was changed from the county back to the county, so Cao Zhi became the king of Pengcheng again, and returned from a circle of circles.

"Compared with today, it is not enough. He was renamed a king of the county" - "Three Kingdoms Chronicles of Wu Wenshi Wanggong"

"In the sixth year of Taihe, the kings were renamed, and all of them took the county as the state, and according to the restoration of Pengcheng"——《Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Wu Wenshi Prince》

However, cao did not have long to get into trouble, and in the first year of the Jing Dynasty (237), he sent Sima Donghe to the capital, but he was accused of Dong He entering the palace shangfang to make prohibited items and use jewelry to contact the courtiers, which violated the imperial court's decrees, so Cao Rui issued an edict to punish him and cut him to 2,000 households in the county.

"There are Si Song, Wang Sent Sima Donghe, And Zhan Zhuyu came to Shangfang in the Capital Division, made many forbidden objects, traffic workers, entered and exited the near office, exceeded extravagance, slowly violated the rules, and brought the king to the law" - Commentary on the Biography of the Prince of Wuwenshi in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms

In the third year of the Jing Dynasty (239), the original reduction of huyi was restored, and combined with the increase in the number of households during the Zhengyuan and Jingyuan years, Cao Zhao eventually owned 4,600 households. After that, Cao Zhi was also involved in the abolition of Sima Shi, and there were rumors that Sima Shi was preparing to depose Cao Fang, the King of Qi, and establish Cao Fang the Prince of Pengcheng as the Son of Heaven, which Empress MingdeGuo was seriously opposed to, and she stressed to Sima Shi that Cao Zhi was already her own elder, and that she did not know how to make himself the Son of Heaven, and this was not to make Cao Rui extinct, so Empress Guo suggested that Cao Wei be replaced.

Since then, there has been no record of Cao Zhao.
