Cao Cao, as a great adulterer, has a very bad reputation in history, and from the history books, posterity gave Cao Cao a nickname, called "Human Wife Cao", he often took his opponent's wives and concubines to be his wife after fighting, such as Zhang Xiu's aunt, one of Liu Bei's wives, according to the reason, how could such a bad person who only took advantage of the advantage and did not suffer losses marry his 7 beautiful daughters to a person?
However, if the person he married was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it would not be surprising.
Cao Cao's birth was not very noble, he was inherited by his family to a eunuch surnamed Cao as a son, so when he was a staff officer on Yuan Shao's side, he was insulted by others as "after the eunuch". Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao had the opportunity to show his talents, and it was also a coincidence that he met the exiled Han Tianzi, and from then on, he blackmailed Tianzi to order the princes and opened his road to hegemony.
However, compared with other large families, such as the Yuan Shao family, the Sima family, the Zhuge family, the Liu family, etc., the strength and power of the Cao family were insignificant, although Cao Cao's military strength at that time was also OK, but at the beginning it did not occupy an absolute advantage, and even when fighting others, many of the generals at the bottom were ready to surrender.
In order to increase his power, Cao Cao started the business of marriage.
However, as a traitor, Cao Cao's marriage also did a different job, on the one hand, he occupied a large number of enemy wives - in fact, in order to recover the enemy's power, because at that time, most of the wives' families of the wives of the tyrants were also a generation of tyrants, it seems that Cao Cao possessed them as if it was difficult for the strongman, in fact, the family behind them was actually acquiesced, which meant that they were also Cao's family in the future.
On the other hand, Cao Cao married his daughter to another big family, and whose family was the largest at that time was, of course, the Liu family!
Cao Cao sent his three daughters to the palace as concubines of Emperor Liu Xie, while the remaining ones were ready to be sent to him when they were older. Liu Xie was born in 184 AD and was the last emperor of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, The Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie actually already had an empress, this empress's surname was Fu, called Empress Fu, in order to let his daughters succeed in ascending the throne, Cao Cao did not engage in any conspiracies and tricks, directly arrested Empress Fu and locked her up, and then set up her daughter Cao Jie as the empress of Emperor Xian of Han - the world of adulterous males is so direct.
However, Cao Cao, who likes to occupy other people's wives, must not have imagined that although Liu Xie was killed by him politically and militarily, but in terms of feelings, Liu Xie was much smarter than him, Cao Cao originally meant to send a daughter to spy on Liu Xie, but the kind and benevolent and affectionate Liu Xie soon had a spark of love with Cao Jie, who not only did not "spy" on this poor Han Tianzi, but also made a real loving couple with him.
When Cao Pi forced Liu Xiechan to give way, Empress Cao even angrily rebuked the ministers who supported Cao Pi at the time, and finally cao Pi forced her to hand over the imperial jade seal representing the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and she cursed the Cao family in place of Liu's family:
Then he called on the messengers, and personally counted them, and reached Xuanxia with the seal, because of the weeping: "Heaven is not Zuo'er! "”
In fact, this is inseparable from Liu Xie's own "greatness".
As a Tianzi of the Han Dynasty, having experienced the orthodox Education of Tianzi, he actually has the virtues of an emperor. Chinese, what are the basic qualities of being an emperor?
Jiang Ziya said this: "The world under the heavens, the world under the world", so the conclusion is:
"Cover the world, then you can tolerate the world; if you believe in the world, then you can make a covenant with the world; if you cover the world, then you can cherish the world; if you cover the world, then you can protect the world; if you have the power to cover the world, then you can not lose the world; if you do not doubt things, then the fortunes of heaven cannot be moved, and the changes of the times cannot be moved." These six are prepared, and then they can be used for the government of the world."
But who could do these things of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan at that time?
Cao Cao did not say, in order to grasp power, he did everything that lacked morality. What about Sun Quan? He personally blackmailed his allies, and afterwards cut off Guan Yu's head and prepared to throw the pot to Cao Cao. Liu Bei was rich in the name of "benevolence and righteousness", but he was also a traitor who "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, borrowed and did not pay back", according to historical records, Liu Bei's army also had incidents of cannibalism.
However, compared with them, although he did not have the power to plot and deceive, and did not have a million soldiers, he really did not have any stains, and even the records compiled by his political enemy Cao Wei did not say that he was faint and incompetent or cruel, and even some people evaluated him:
"The Holy Lord is wise and has the quality of Zhou Cheng."
In fact, although because of the current situation, he could not realize his political ideals of "covering the world", "believing in the world", "benevolently covering the world", "enga covering the world", and "power covering the world", after he was forced to give way to Zen, he took Empress Cao to realize his lofty political ideal of loving and protecting all the people of the world as a former son of heaven in another way.
After he was demoted to the Duke of Shanyang, he taught himself medicine and treated the people for free in the local area, and the people's respect for this deposed Tianzi was far higher than that of Cao Pi, who was high up in the capital, and the local people honored Liu Xie as "adults", and Cao Jie, who followed Liu Xie to treat the diseases of the people, as "beauty", and regarded them as regenerative parents.
Until now, there are still many places where people call their father "Dada", which interprets Liu Xie's charm as the last Tianzi of the Han family from another perspective - there are many heroes who can lead soldiers to fight and kill people, and how many Tianzi can personally see the people for free?
