Zhou Xibochang, with this holy virtue. Three parts of the world, and two. - Cao Cao's "Short Song Line"
There is a saying that says well, heroes are born in a chaotic world, and this statement is not false at all. Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Xiangyu, Lü Bu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc., and Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, Cheng Yu, etc., if there was no full support from these civilian and military generals, I am afraid that the country would have ceased to exist long ago. At that time, in order to win people's hearts, the rulers naturally had marriages and did not care whether the two were happy with each other. It is rumored that Cao Cao had 7 beautiful daughters, why did they all marry the same person? Who is he? This man was Emperor Xian of Han.
The rulers of the Three Kingdoms were "Cao Liusun", if you say that the all-round talent, it is Cao Cao, although he did not claim the title of emperor until his death, but the actual ruler of the north was him. To use a word to describe it, it is the powerful minister of the prosperous world and the tyrant of the chaotic world. Although Cao Cao was the son of an official eunuch, he was not of a high birth. In Cao Cao's generation, he carried forward the foundation of the Cao family and established the State of Wei from scratch with his outstanding ability. Earlier, he was not reused in the government, and at that time, the government was corrupt, and even if he was full of talent, he was still not allowed to reuse it. Marrying one's daughter to the emperor is a political marriage.
Cao Cao himself had a quirk and liked to prey on other people's wives. Cao Cao's original wife was named Ding, but the two had no heirs. It is said that Cao Cao had 25 sons, the eldest son Cao Ang was born to Liu Shi, and also gave birth to a daughter, Princess Qinghe Chang. However, Liu's life was not good, and he died very early, and the child was raised by his mother-in-law Ding.
Mrs. Ding is really attentive to this child and has always taken good care of it. When Cao Ang became an adult, he fought with his father and unfortunately died on the battlefield. Lady Ding was very sad, and even turned against Cao Cao, and the two separated, which made it cheap to succeed Lady Bian to become the lady of the palace. In addition to Cao Ang, Cao Cao's other sons were also very good, like Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Chong and so on.
Cao Cao not only has many sons, but also many daughters, and the identity of his son-in-law is also quite noble, and everyone is curious, who can marry Cao Cao's daughter? Why did Cao Cao's 7 daughters all marry the same person? Who is he? Cao Cao's son-in-law was Emperor Xian of Han, and Cao Cao was very "bloody" and married all 7 daughters to this man.
In fact, Cao Cao had always blackmailed Tianzi to order the princes to restrain the power of Emperor Xian of Han, and although the emperor wanted to put the other party to death, Cao Cao was calculating deeply, in order to listen to the relevant news of the other party, and at the same time, in order to stabilize the country, he married his daughter to Emperor Xian of Han. It is said that Emperor Xian of Han was really weak enough, and in the first half of his life, he was suppressed by Empress He, and the throne was still given by the powerful minister Dong Zhuo, which was basically not a family. He was just a pawn in Dong Zhuo's hands, and he was manipulated by others for a long time. However, Cao Cao was more sleek than Dong Zhuo, and he married his daughter to Emperor Xian of Han, and continued to import the daughter of the Cao family into the palace. When Empress Fu was deposed and her daughter was made empress, he became a relative of the emperor and a relative of the state, which was more conducive to controlling the government.
This kind of marriage is not a happy thing to speak of, but a temporary measure. After his son Cao Pi came to power, he still abolished his brother-in-law, but only wronged the girls.
