The reason why the big people in ancient history can become big people, because they have made great achievements in the world, such as laying down the country, establishing the country, creating a prosperous world, etc., the founding emperors of successive dynasties can be included in it, their merits in the world are absolutely unique, no one can be left or right, but the reason why they can stand out among all sentient beings and become the person standing at the top of the pyramid is because they have the world's career pattern in mind, they look down on all beings with a "God perspective" and insight into the changes in the world. Even before dying, they can leave a cautionary tale for future generations to relish.
For example, Liu Bei, a sage lord known for his benevolence, before his death, not only left behind the "White Emperor City Trust" that has been passed down through the ages, but also left a sentence that has been tireless for thousands of years - do not act with kindness and smallness, and do not act with evil and small!
I think everyone has heard this sentence, how many parents have taught their children this sentence, and teachers teach students to always say this sentence. Genghis Khan, who established the Mongol Empire, left a great plan for future generations to unify the world, he left a famous will, using the Song and Jin dynasty to use the Song Dynasty to unite the Song Dynasty and destroy the Jin, and finally the Mongol rulers unified the world in this general direction.
It can be seen from this that the last words left by ordinary great people are always thought-provoking, and Cao Cao is an outstanding politician, military expert, writer, and calligrapher in history, and he can serve as a military general and counselor in the three kingdoms, as the first person of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao' life conquered the four sides, unified the northern region of the Central Plains, and laid the foundation for Cao Wei's founding of the country, so what last words will he leave behind on his deathbed?
"Death has a spirit, and the Son asks if the Father and his Mother are safe, so how will the Father answer?" As soon as this last word came out, Cao Pi, who was guarding him, did not know how to answer for a while, if it was a last word about national politics, it was better to say, why would his father, who had always been decisive in killing, say a last word about family affection?
Literally, there is a spirit after death, and then I go underground, and if Zi Xiu asks me if my mother is safe, how should I answer? The Zixiu here was Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, born of Liu Shi, but his mother died early, so Cao Ang was raised by the Ding clan of the zhengmu, Cao Ang was intelligent and humble, deeply loved by Cao Cao, and at the age of twenty he raised xiao Lian, but unfortunately in the war that followed Cao Cao on Zhang Xiu, Cao Ang gave up his war horse to his father to escape in order to give Cao Cao a break, and he died in battle with the general Dianwei.
Cao Cao has always hung up on this matter, lamenting that he can have such a filial son, but unfortunately there is no more now, until his death, he can not forget, thinking that after death, he can not rest assured. It was understandable that he felt guilty about his son, but why did he think that when he went underground, after seeing his son, he could not answer the question of whether his mother was safe? The mother here naturally refers to the adoptive mother Ding, and Cao Ang, who was raised by the Ding family, naturally has the same mother and son and deep feelings.
Indeed, Cao Cao did not know the current situation of the Ding clan, because the Ding clan had already lost her voice and cried bitterly after learning the news of Cao Ang's death in battle, because she had been childless all her life, and had regarded Cao Ang as her own son, and now that her son was dead, she naturally hated Cao Cao for taking her son to the battlefield, and she had not yet protected it, she thought that Cao Cao had killed her son, and the strong Lady Ding directly packed her bags and returned to her hometown, Cao Cao sent people to quickly and whip to find Lady Ding, but Lady Ding never returned.
In fact, Cao Cao has real feelings for Lady Ding, otherwise there would not be so many women, the childless Lady Ding can always live in the main room, and later Cao Cao also went to Ding's hometown to find her, after arriving at her home, he saw Ding's weaving alone, so he went forward to stroke her back and invited her home, but Ding was not moved, and the two husband and wife were cut off.
Cao Cao allowed Ding to remarry, but Ding never married, died in her mother's family, presumably she also loved her husband, but she could not forget the death of her son, if Cao Ang did not die in battle, under the care of Ding, he would definitely marry and have children in the future, and start a family, there would be a happy ending, but now it is the son who died, the husband and wife are centrifugal, both of them are worried about each other, but what has happened cannot be recovered, so the husband and wife will be like strangers in the future. She only grieved for the death of her son, but Cao Cao also needed to grieve for the loss of the general Dianwei, who was not only a husband, but also a monarch, and for the sake of the great cause, he buried his pain deep in his heart, and on the surface he was still a decisive politician.
It is said that before dying, people will look at their own lives in their minds, and finally leave behind the most important and important people in their lives, he can leave such a last word, presumably he thought of the eldest son Xiu who died for himself, and the Ding family he was worried about, he did many good and bad things in his life, that is what must be experienced in the eyes of big people, but the people he misses the deepest in his heart are his relatives, they are really good people for themselves, and the scheming Cao Cao can naturally see, That's why Cao Cao, who can say" I'd rather bear the world than the people in the world", feel guilty, and before he died, he was still worried that he could not give an account to his son after death.
Cao Cao also had a last word, which made posterity praise him, worthy of his big husband, a real boy. He said --
The world has not yet been settled, and it has not been obeyed. After the burial, all are removed. None of its generals shall leave the tunbu. There are divisions at their respective posts. Wear a timely suit, no gold and jade jewelry.
The people present shed tears, and this kind of "thin burial" practice, even if it is an emperor for thousands of years, may not be able to do it, and Cao Cao did not establish himself as an emperor in his lifetime, but he could do it without bringing death or bringing it, and his mind was also frank! No wonder later generations commented that Cao Cao was a true hero too!
