Cao Cao was the biggest hero in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the founder of the Cao Wei regime, and the main promoter of the Three Kingdoms era. He had many wives and concubines, and as many as 15 children had children for him, and his children were even more numerous, including 25 sons and 6 daughters, recorded in the history books.
Among the famous sons are Cao Pi, Cao Ang, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Chong and others.
Nine months after his eldest son, Cao Pi, succeeded to the King of Wei, he forced Emperor Xian of Han to establish the Wei State, ending the reign of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years. Cao Pi was Emperor Wen of Wei, who reigned for 6 years and died of illness at the age of 40.
Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, but also Cao Cao's sons of the most outstanding one, when Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled, in order to save Cao Cao, Cao Ang gave the horse to Cao Cao, and he was responsible for the break, and finally died in battle.
Cao Zhang is the second son of Cao Cao, and also the strongest martial arts among Cao Cao's sons, who made great contributions in the conquest of Wuhuan and Xianbei, and is said to have been poisoned by his brother Cao Pi after Cao Cao's death, at the age of 35.
Cao Zhi is the third son of Cao Cao and the highest achievement of Cao Cao's son in Chinese, and the famous "Luo Shen Fu" is from his pen and is known as an outstanding representative of Jian'an literature. And Cao Cao also admired him, and once considered letting him inherit the great cause. But after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi was jealous of Cao Zhi's talent and learning, so he ordered Cao Zhi to compose a poem within seven steps, otherwise he would be executed, so the well-known "Seven Steps Poem" was born: "Boiled beans and beans, and soybeans are juice." The beans are burning under the kettle, and the beans are crying in the kettle. This is from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?"
Cao Chong is Cao Cao's smartest son, and also the most famous prodigy in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, leaving an allusion to "Cao Chong called the elephant", but unfortunately Cao Chong died of a serious illness at the age of 13, Cao Cao was extremely sad, and before his death he personally begged for his life.
After the death of Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, his son Cao Rong became the emperor, known as Emperor Wei Ming, reigned for 12 years, and pacified Xianbei, defeated Gongsun Yuan, and died to the general Cao Shuang and the Taiwei Sima Yi, who was only 36 years old.
After Cao Rui's death, because his three biological sons died before him, his adopted son Cao Fang became the emperor. Ten years later, Sima Yi staged a coup d'état in Gaopingling, overthrowing Cao Fang, and bringing the Cao Wei regime into the hands of the Sima clan. Five years later, Cao Fang was deposed as the king of Qi by Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi, and Cao Pi's 13-year-old grandson, Cao Chao, was made emperor.
6 years later, feeling that his power was weakening day by day, 19-year-old Cao Chao held a sword and rushed to Shi Ma Zhao with a few guards, and personally fought with a sword, but he was alone and was finally killed under the chariot, but this scene made his great-grandfather Cao Cao's blood burst out with brilliant sparks.
After Cao Chao's death, the people who came to know hid their faces and wept, and they were overwhelmed with grief. In order to block the mouth of the world, Sima Zhao pretended to be panicked and fell to the ground, and killed the two officials who killed Cao Chao to appease the anger.
Subsequently, Sima Zhao supported Cao Cao's grandson 14-year-old Cao Huan as the emperor, 3 years later, Cao Huan destroyed Shu, and then 2 years later, Sima Zhao died, and his son Sima Yan succeeded to the throne of Xiangguo and King Jin. Only three months later, Sima Yan forced Cao Huan to take the throne, was deposed as the king of Chen Liu, and lived for another 38 years to die well.
Since then, the Cao Wei regime, which had existed for 46 years after 5 emperors, collapsed, and the Cao family, which had been prominent in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms for a hundred years, disappeared into the clouds of history.
