In the history of China, the Three Kingdoms was a relatively chaotic era, and many able people wanted to save it, and some people wanted to take the Han Dynasty. With the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the struggle between Han relatives and eunuchs, the Han Dynasty basically existed in name only. With the end of the struggle between Dong Zhuo's foreign relatives and eunuchs in Beijing, the Han Dynasty entered an era of more chaos, when Cao Cao, who was a knighted lieutenant, also had the heart to save the country and save the people, and he rebelled against Dong in Chen Liu. So what did Cao Cao do by marrying his 7 daughters to one?
Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie
Liu Was the last emperor of the Han Dynasty and was forced to ascend to the throne. After the death of Emperor Ling of Han, it was the Young Emperor Liu Zhuo who succeeded to the throne, but after Dong Zhuo took control of the Han Dynasty, he deposed the Young Emperor Liu Xie and re-established Liu Xie as emperor, because Dong Zhuo believed that Empress Dong was of the same clan as himself, and Empress Dong supported Liu Xie. Liu Xie became the most miserable emperor of the Han Dynasty, and after Dong Zhuo's rebellion was quelled, Liu Xie also went into exile. In the end, he was welcomed back to Xuchang by Cao Cao, which was able to settle down. However, Cao Cao was not a master of peace, and was once evaluated as "a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor to a chaotic world" by others. Cao Cao's name was Han Chenshi (汉臣實), but for the sake of Han thieves, and with the help of the han emperor Liu Xie's name, he "blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes".
Liu Xie, who did not understand Liu Xie at a young age, could still manipulate Liu Xie, but as Liu Xie gradually grew older, he slowly understood the environment in which he lived. Therefore, he ordered his uncle Dong Cheng to kill Cao Cao, and Dong Cheng joined forces with Liu Bei, Wu Zilan, and others, which was the "YiDai Zhao" incident, but unfortunately the matter was revealed, and Dong Guiren, who was pregnant, was killed by Cao Cao. This made Empress Fu very frightened, and wanted her father to kill Cao Cao, and before Fu Quan could act, cao Cao knew about it, and the empress was also killed by Cao Cao. In order to quell the emperor's troubles, Cao Cao threatened Liu Xie to establish his daughter Cao Jie as his empress. From here we can see that Cao Cao's daughters married Liu Xie, so why would Cao Cao marry his daughter to a puppet emperor?
The reason why Cao Cao's children married Emperor Xian of Han
One: improve your identity. In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's status was not low, so why did he say that he had improved his status? Because the Three Kingdoms were, in the final analysis, a society of the scholar class, and Cao Cao was despised by many people after being eunuchs, as for Han Xiang, he was not recognized by most princes, believing that it was only Cao Cao who coerced Emperor Xian of Han to appoint himself. So what to do to improve your status? The most noble person in the Three Kingdoms was the emperor, so Cao Cao married a puppet emperor to improve his status.
Second: eyeliner in the palace. Although Emperor Xian of Han was only a puppet, Cao Cao still did not dare to kill him, for fear of causing a siege by other princes. Although the Han Room is no longer there, it is still a great unification. He couldn't kill, and Emperor Xian of Han became more and more dishonest, and successively arranged for Dong Guiren and Empress Fu to kill himself, and it was already very difficult for him to send troops to fight all day, and he couldn't secretly fight with this puppet emperor all day long. Then marrying his daughter to Liu Xie and monitoring Liu Xie by the way can prevent this little emperor from doing things all day.
Third: famous teachers. Cao Cao held the Han Emperor hostage, and one of the reasons why many princes did not crusade against Cao Cao was that Cao Cao married his daughter to Liu Xie, because doing so would prove that Cao Cao was for the Han Dynasty. If Cao Cao married his children to powerful princes, he could also achieve political alliances. Therefore, Cao Cao wanted a name. So what was the result of Cao Cao marrying his daughter to Liu Xie?
The result of Cao Cao's daughter
During Cao Cao's lifetime, because he did not have the idea of becoming emperor, Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jie was still an empress. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded to the Throne of Wei, but Cao Pi had the idea of claiming the title of king and emperor. So he forced Liu Xie to abdicate, Liu Xie did not agree and there was no way, after agreeing, Cao Pi ordered someone to come and ask for Yuxi, but the jade seal was not in Liu Xie's hands, but in the hands of Empress Cao Jie. Cao Jie did not want to give the jade seal to Cao Pi, but thinking that he could not protect it, he gave the jade seal to Cao Pi, but cursed Cao Wei's world. The Book of later Han records that after several generations, Hou Nai called the messenger in, personally counted it, and used the seal to reach Xuanxia, because of the weeping: "Heaven is not Zuo'er! ”
Cao Jie, who was most valued by Cao Cao, chose not to agree with cao Pi's actions. It is conceivable that Cao Cao's daughter thinks that her family can become bigger and stronger, but she never wants to stand on her own. Therefore, the fate of Cao Cao's daughter was not very good, Cao Jie eventually died of illness in Shanyang, and other Cao children who married Liu Xie, after Liu Xie became the Duke of Shanyang, there is no more record in history.
To sum up, Cao Cao married his daughter to Liu Xie, not because of Liu Xie's ability, but because of Liu Xie's honorable status. Unfortunately, Cao Cao's daughter was only a victim of political interests. Liu Xie hated Cao Cao and the people of the Cao family, and presumably Cao Cao's daughter and Liu Xie's relationship was not very good, but it was still used as a chip. Because the status of ancient women was low, it was a world of difference from now.
