At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes were in a scuffle, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and the eighteen-way princes rose up under the leadership of Yuan Shao to fight, but the Han room was in danger, the world was already in turmoil, and the princes had different hearts, they did not want to support the Han room at all, they only wanted to grab money, grab the territory, rob the talent, rob the woman in the chaotic world, after years of scuffle, Cao Cao stood out, he was originally the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, but he was proficient in the art of war, good at governing the country, and became the largest prince in the north in just a dozen years, and also threatened the son of heaven, making the princes helpless.
Cao Cao can be called the world's tyrant, he Guandu Battle destroyed Yuan Shao, expedition to Wuhuan, Xianbei, sweep away the troubles, lay the foundation of the Wei state, unify the north, in 208 AD, Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei, Sun Quan, in an attempt to fight a war and the world, but unfortunately the Battle of Chibi suffered a fiasco, so that Cao Cao's dream was in vain, Cao Cao had no choice but to rest and recuperate, Xu Tu fought again, but the dispute between the Three Kingdoms has become a strong trend, Cao Cao could not unify the world in a short period of time, in 220 AD, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, at the age of 66.
Before Cao Cao died, he once left a "Testament Order" and arranged his own affairs, saying: I have not lived an easy life in this life, following my wives and concubines and singing and dancing women have been very bitter, after my death, let them live in Tongquetai, so that I can see my mausoleum, I still have some spices to distribute to the ladies, let him sew their own clothes, sell them with belts, subsidize the family, this is the famous allusion in history of the sale of incense, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi inherited the title of King of Wei, and later forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate and became emperor himself.
Unfortunately, Cao Pi was not a good person, after he became emperor, he took all of Cao Cao's wives and concubines for himself, for example, there was a woman named Song Ji, she was originally Cao Cao's concubine, and also gave birth to a son named Cao Hui, but Cao Pi saw that she looked very beautiful, so he accepted her as his concubine, and also gave birth to a son named Cao Yu, so that the generations were a bit chaotic, the ancient ethics were common, Cao Pi did this, it was indeed not kind to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao himself was also a good wife, Cao Pi may have learned from his father.
Once When Cao Pi was ill, Empress Bian came to see the situation, but found that the concubines in the palace were all Cao Cao's concubines, and the empress dowager was very angry, so she scolded Cao Pi: Dogs and rats do not eat Ruyu, and they die. This means that you do this kind of thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs, even if you die, even the animals will not eat you, for this reason, when Cao Pi died, Empress Bian did not look at her son, which shows how much she hates him.
In the eyes of the ancients, if the son took his father's wife and concubine, then he would definitely be criticized by the world, after all, these people belonged to his little mother in terms of generations, and it was no wonder that Empress Bian would be angry, if Cao Cao knew, he would definitely die under the Nine Springs.
