In The history of China, there is such a prominent figure, who is a heroic but arrogant and light enemy, who loves money as much as his life but is suspicious of nature, who is a generation of tyrants and traitors in the world. It was Cao Cao.
It is said that Cao Cao was born at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the world was in chaos. Why did the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was said to be good, suddenly become the Three Kingdoms, and this story should start from the eunuchs who have always been vigilant about interfering in politics.
Eunuchs have been forbidden to interfere in government affairs throughout the dynasties, and the historical tragedies caused by eunuchs interfering in politics are also fresh in our memories.
The corruption and decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty regime is also inseparable from the eunuchs to interfere in politics, at that time, the government was called "ten permanent attendants" of 10 eunuchs, in fact, the real history is 12, in the follow-up propaganda, 10 are easier to remember and recite, so called ten permanent attendants. "Chang Shi" is the abbreviation of a post, its full name is "Zhongchang Shi", which is 10 eunuchs who do Zhongchang Waiter.
The post of "Zhongchang Shi" appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and at first it was not an official with real power, but only a title with a rewarding nature. After arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it began to grant real power, the most representative of which was Cao Teng.
And this Cao Teng is Cao Cao's grandfather, when Cao Teng was alive, he served 4 emperors successively and was very appreciated. While having the emperor's favorite, Cao Teng was not pampered and proud, but a very clean person, who had never done anything wrong. At the time of his death, Cao Teng was given the title of Marquis of Feiting, with a very objective status and wealth, but no one inherited it.
In the past, eunuchs were childless and usually passed on one of the children in the family to themselves, and Cao Teng was no exception, seeking a successor to himself, that is, Cao Song, who, with the help of Cao Teng, quickly rose to prominence and became a lieutenant.
Cao Song had 5 sons, the eldest of whom was named Jili, and the big name was the famous "Cao Cao." ”
Even if the ancestors were powerful and powerful, they were eunuchs after all, and no matter what, they would put a disgraceful veil on their own lives.
