Cao Zhi, a great talent in seven steps into poetry, was one of the sons of Cao Cao's many children who liked him very much. You Heng is also a great talent, who had literary style and eloquence when he was young, but his personality was arrogant. Both of them were ruined by their self-pride and willfulness, one lost his position as prince, and the other lost his life.
Cao Cao had many children in his lifetime, and those found in Zhengshi had 25 sons and 6 daughters, and 3 adopted sons. Among Cao Cao's 25 sons, his favorite was the eldest son Cao Ang, followed by the oldest son Cao Chong, and the third was Cao Zhi, the third son who lived with Lady Bian. Cao Ang was overwhelmed by the victory in the "Battle of Wancheng", also known as the "Battle of Shuishui", and was opposed by Zhang Xiu in the "derailment", losing the life of his eldest son Cao Ang. Cao Chong, a prodigy known as an elephant on a boat, died prematurely and died of illness at the age of thirteen. Now it is Cao Zhi's turn, the ten great tragic talents in ancient times, the third son born to Cao Cao and Lady Bian, who was more brilliant than the eldest brother Cao Pi, who was born of the same mother, but in the end he did not get the eldest brother, that is, he was later made the prince and became the King of Wei Wen. Brain melon seeds are useless, life is still OK, under the threat of the big brother, staged the "beans cry in the kettle" of the seven steps into the poem of the ages.
Compared with Cao Zhi, Cao Cao still favored Cao Zhi's talent. Once, Cao Cao led his troops on a campaign, and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's brothers sent them to the side of the road. Cao Zhi's thinking is quick, the export is a chapter, and the praises and praises along the way wipe Cao Cao's heart comfortable. The eldest brother cao Pi, although he was a brother born to the same mother, was compared to his younger brother with no foothold and a blank face. Cao Pi was bent on turning over and giving himself a foothold, but he couldn't come up with a good way, because all the good things were said by his younger brother Cao Zhi.
At this time, the gaoren came out, and Wu Tian, a Jiyin person, said in his ear: "When the King of Wei was about to go on the road to say goodbye, you cried with tears and tears. Cao Pi followed the plan, and when his father gave his hand to signal everyone to please return, Cao Pi knelt down and cried loudly. How can this be true of crying, when we go out on the march! It's so unlucky. But this cry caused Cao Cao and his subordinates to feel sad, who did not have the emotion of Ma Ge's body! In contrast, Cao Zhi's compliments are too vain, and his sincerity is far less than that of Cao Pi.
In this matter, Cao Zhi's emptiness was compared to Cao Pi's reality. But in the future, Cao Zhi did things for people, still did not change, followed the nature, in today's words, it is rich and talented, willful, everything is undisguised, and Cao Pi humbly listens to the opinions of others, and by the way, he plays some power tricks, which is called a heart machine. Over time, most of the people in the palace and Cao Cao's subordinates spoke kindly about Cao Pi, so in the end, Cao Pi was made crown prince.
You Heng, a plains man, the classic feat is "beating the drum and cursing Cao". You Heng has been brilliant since childhood, able to speak eloquently, but full of vigor, integrity and pride. You Heng and Kong Rong are twenty years apart, they belong to the year-round friendship, and they are orangutans attracting each other, building a mutual appreciation of each other's talents, Kong Rong is very concerned about You Heng. For the sake of You Heng's future, Kong Rong recommended You Heng to Cao Cao, saying that this has great talent and should be reused.
Cao Cao loved talent all his life and was open-minded, and He Heng was no exception. However, after You Heng was used by Cao Cao, the talented people had a temper, and as a result, because of the disagreement, You Heng actually beat the drum and insulted Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious and said to Kong Rong, "You Heng you recommended, this boy, I'm going to kill him, but it's like slaughtering a sparrow or a mouse!" Just thinking that this man has always had a false name, and killing him, people near and far will say that I have no tolerance. "Cao Cao did not kill You Heng, nor did he punish him. Cao Cao's approach was even more desperate, but he gave You Heng, a hot potato, to Liu Biao, hoping that Liu Biao would be angry with talented people.
Liu Biao got You Heng, felt that he was indeed a talent, and began to be polite and thoughtful, treating him as a guest. You Heng also praised Liu Biao's deeds, and his bad temper also changed a little, eating a grain and growing a wisdom. You Heng likes to judge the head, and for a number of Liu Biao, he is silent and does not say a word, but for Liu Biao's cronies around him, there are places that are not accustomed to it, and You Heng always ridicules and satirizes regardless of the occasion, and does not give any affection. This is good, and then the high eight buckets are what! Unable to bear the siege of Liu Biao's trust, they jointly framed You Heng and said to Liu Biao: "You Heng praises the general's benevolence and love, which can be compared with King Wen of Zhou." However, he also believed that the general could not make a decision on the matter, and the final failure must be due to this reason. This is very reasonable, liu biao's weaknesses have been said out, in fact, this relatively fair judgment is not what You Heng said, you heng did not dare to play "drumming to evaluate Liu Biao".
The lives of the world's higher people are generally invisible and natural. Liu Biao is Liu Biao, although Liu Biao is angry, but he knows the matter of "beating drums and cursing Cao", Old Cao does not kill this hedgehog, I scold to do this stupid thing, so I give You Heng as a gift to Jiangxia County Taishou Huangzu. Why? Because Huang Zu was grumpy and threw a temper, he was the master of the six relatives who did not recognize him. You Heng was sent to Jiangxia by Liu Biao. At first, as in the previous two times, Huang Zu also treated You Heng with preferential treatment, but later You Heng insulted Huang Zu in public, and Huang Zu finally killed You Heng.
Talented, not willful. No matter how big and tall, when it is used as a tool, it is like a monkey. Another angle, that is, talent, use you as an important pawn, you can not be willful, you must keep a hand! If it is Wu Dalang to open a shop! Or if you continue to deduce it like this, it won't make much sense. It is also said that Cao Zhi and You Heng, Cao Zhi did not become a prince, but left a desolate allusion to the seven steps into poetry. You Heng is talented, used as a tool, and finally a bit like a doll, but he still can't recognize himself and the situation, he is not killed, and he is not strange! (Text/Cai Si)
