Emperor Cao Pi of Wei was the founding emperor of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, and he was the son of Cao Cao.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded him as King of Wei, and soon after, forced Emperor Xian of Han to take the throne, Cao Pi then declared himself emperor and established the state of Wei, Cao Pi was the founding emperor of the State of Wei, and posthumously named Cao Cao Emperor Wu of Wei.
Cao Pi reigned for seven years, and died at the age of forty, which can be said to have died young.
Cao Pi had ten sons, however, most of whom died prematurely.
Let's talk about how Cao Pi's ten sons died?
Cao Rui (曹叡), the eldest son of Cao Pi, was born to Cao Pi and Empress Zhen.
After Cao Pi's death, Cao Rui succeeded to the throne as Emperor Ming of Wei, however, Cao Rui also had a short life, and died in the third year of Jing Chu (239), living for thirty-six years.
Cao Xie, his mother is Li Guiren. Cao Xie died very early, and in the fifth year of Taihe (231), he was posthumously honored as the Duke of Jing, with the posthumous title of Jinggong( 231). In the second year of the Qinglong Dynasty (234), he was renamed king of Zan, and his posthumous title was mourning.
However, Cao Xie had a son, Cao Xun (曹尋), in the third year of Qinglong (235), Cao Xun took the throne, and in the ninth year of the first year, Cao Xun died, was childless, and the fief was abolished.
Cao Lin, mother qiu Zhaoyi. Cao Lin had two sons, Cao Qi the Prince of the East China Sea and Cao Qi, the Duke of Guigui Township.
In the second year of Jiaping (251), Cao Lin died, and his courtesy name was Ding, and his concubine Cao Qi took the throne. Shu's eldest son, Cao Xian (曹髦), the duke of Gaoguixiang , later the fourth emperor of Cao Wei , was killed by Sima Zhao.
Cao Gong, mother of Zhang Ji. In the third year of the Huang Dynasty (222), he was crowned the King of Qinghe; in the fourth year of the Huang Dynasty (223), he died.
Cao Yu, mother song ji. In the third year of the Huang Dynasty (222), he was crowned the Prince of Guangping, and died the following year (224).
Cao Jian, mother zhu Shuyuan. In the sixth year of the Huang Dynasty (225), he was created the Prince of Dongwuyang, and died in that year (225). He was childless and had a fiefdom.
Cao Li, mother xu ji. In the sixth year of the Huang Dynasty (225), he was renamed King of Yuancheng; Taihe died in the third year (229).

Cao Rui, mother is Pan Shuyuan. After Emperor Ming of Wei ascended the throne, he was created the Prince of Yangping County. In the sixth year of Taihe (232), he was renamed king of the North Sea. Cao Rui died in the first year (233) of the Qinglong Dynasty, leaving no heirs. In 234, Cao Zan, the son of Cao Min the Prince of Lang, was enfeoffed to Cao Rui.
Cao Cao, her mother was ominous, and she died early two months after birth.
Most of Cao Pi's ten sons died prematurely, and Like his father Cao Pi, Cao Rui's three sons also died prematurely.
Later, Cao Rui had no way to adopt Cao Xiang as an adopted son, but he did not expect that Cao Yong also died early, so Cao Rui adopted Cao Fang again.
After Cao Rui's death, Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, but was deposed by Sima Shi and replaced by Cao Xi, the Duke of GuiguiXiang, as emperor.
Cao Cao lived for sixty-six years, probably Because Cao Cao's descendants were too weaker than him, and their life expectancy rarely exceeded his, and it seems that Cao Cao is still very long-lived.
