Emperor Xian of Han was only a puppet of Cao Cao, so why did Cao Cao marry all three of his daughters to him?
Cao Cao was not only a talented man, but also a strategist. He had many wives and concubines, and his children were numerous, but it was strange that the husband who married three daughters at a time was actually a person. What Cao Cao did was something that had been thought about for a long time. His three daughters did not marry anyone else. He was the famous Cao Cao puppet emperor Of Han Xiandi at that time.
From the status of Emperor Xian of Han, it can be seen that Cao Cao had a strong purpose in marrying his daughter. Emperor Xian of Han was not an ordinary emperor. He is a puppet emperor. Cao Cao was no ordinary minister. He was the true ruler who took the form of blackmailing the emperor. Even so, was it necessary for Cao Cao to marry his daughter to a puppet emperor? Shouldn't parents get to know a lot of people more?
Cao Cao's strategy was proposed by Mao Zedong. In fact, this is not the case, but "to obey the Son of Heaven and not to obey"! That is to say, orders should be given in the name of the Son of Heaven, and those who disobey orders should obey their own names and accomplish the work of overlordship. The overlord thing is not the empire's business. He did not want to unify the country, but wanted to be the hegemon of one side.
Judging from Cao Cao's comprehensive strength, although he was not in the lower strata of society like Liu Bei, it was difficult to succeed, but compared with Yuan Shao's status, Grandpa Gan was a eunuch, which made Cao Cao a bit faceless.
Judging from his geographical location, it is also in the Central Plains region, which belongs to the situation in which all parties are easy to oppose. Recruiting the princes of the world under the banner of orthodoxy can absorb more talents, which is also in line with Cao Cao's idea of only promoting talents.
Cao Cao's strategy, like a person who is accustomed to lying, has told too many lies, so he believes in himself very much.
Cao Cao had always relied on this orthodox name to strengthen his own strength. Emperor Xian of Han had become an unimpeded weapon and shield for his smooth journey. Emperor Xian of Han could not abandon it, at least not openly against it. Otherwise, he is politically incorrect and his ideas are questionable.
Because Cao Cao did not speak clearly, it could only be achieved through other means. He wanted to deny the personal achievements of the Han Dynasty, but he did not want to shake the foundation of his rule. Cao Cao wanted to create the illusion that the wealth of the Han Dynasty was weakened in society. As long as he denied the personal moral cultivation of Emperor Xian of Han, the qualities of the monarch could not be achieved, and he could come to power in an appropriate way.
In this case, Cao Cao married his three daughters to Emperor Xian of Han.
Although the former emperor was a puppet emperor, his own qualifications were very good, he had certain abilities, and he was not a nest. However, the circumstances and realities at the time forced him to become a puppet, and he was forced to accept his fate. In the end, he obeyed Cao Cao's orders.
In fact, Emperor Xian of Han had a wife and concubine, and his feelings were very good. Among them, Dong Guiren, the concubine of Emperor Xian of Han, is also famous in history. She is Dong Cheng's daughter. After Dong Cheng escorted Emperor Xian of Han to Xuchang, his conflict with Cao Cao gradually became apparent, and he claimed to want to conspire to kill Cao Cao. Unfortunately, this matter leaked out, and Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng in a fit of rage.
