The gentleman is in the last place, and cannot goethe. Cao Zhi eventually lost the battle of li heirs, and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had their own supporters, but Cao Pi, as the victor, left more records by those around him. This article is to talk about a supporter of Cao Zhi, Ding Yi, the word Zhengli.
Ding Yi was a native of Peiguo, Yuzhou, and was a fellow countryman with Cao Cao, Wen Qin, Xiahou Huan, and others. And Ding Yi's father Ding Chong also really befriended Cao Cao, and from the end of the Han Dynasty, Ding Chong followed Cao Cao around, and when Cao Cao greeted Tianzi, Ding Chong was even appointed as a lieutenant colonel, which was also a party pastor, but he was in front of Tianzi, and at the same time, it showed that Ding Chong had made a lot of achievements. However, Ding Chong was addicted to alcohol, and once he drank it, he did not finish it, and eventually died of rotten intestines.
Cao Cao remembered Ding Chong's exploits, heard that Ding Yicai was good at learning, and before he met anyone, he was ready to marry his daughter to Ding Yi to consolidate the friendship between the two families. But Cao Pi gave a different suggestion, because Ding Chong had one eye that could not be seen, and Cao Pi believed that Ding Yi's appearance would affect the mood of Cao Cao's daughter, and it was better to marry Xiahou Shu's son Xiahou Shu mào.
Cao Cao eventually adopted Cao Pi's advice, and when Ding Yi was recruited by Cao Cao as a servant, Cao Cao admired his talent after talking to him, and regretted not marrying his daughter. And Ding Yi was also very upset that he could not marry the princess, and since then he has stood against Cao Pi and followed Cao Zhi. By the way, Cao Cao's Lady Ding may also have some relationship with the Ding Yi family.

Cao Pi had four friends of the crown prince by his side: Wu Qian, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, and Zhu Shuo, of course, these were only a few representative figures around him. Sun Quan's son Sun Deng also had four friends of the crown prince by his side: Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu, Gu Tan, and Chen Biao, who could be around the prince either from a famous family, or after meritorious service, there may be a combination of the two.
Turning his head to look at Cao Zhi's side, there were only a few people who were common: Yang Xiu, Ding Yi, Ding Shuyì, Handan hán dān Chun, Liu Zhen zhēn, Xing Zhen yóng. Except for Xing Hao, who turned to support Cao Pi, the remaining few people were known for their literature, they had a lot of achievements in the literary world, and Cao Zhi also shared their interests. Cao Zhi has praised Ding Yi's talents many times, and from the records, Cao Zhi has written two poems for Ding Yi, one "Gift Ding Yi Poem" and one "Gift Ding Yi Wang Yue Poem".
Like Ding Yi, Ding Yi, and Handan Chun, all of whom were Pei Chen, the dispute between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi for the establishment of the heir can also be seen as a game between the Pei Yu people and the Ru Ying shi people, and the Pei Tan family is relatively weak, and there is also Cao Cao's shadow behind it. As losers, there are not many records in the history books, such as Yang Xiu, the descendants of the Hongnong Yang clan, who have not established a biography, and the seven sons of Jian'an only have a serious biography of Wang Cang. As for Chen Shou's failure to succeed, refusing to set up a biography for Ding Yi is really absurd.
Looking at Ding Yi's deeds in the court, Cui Yan's murder was reported by Ding Yi, and Ding Yi, the deposed official of Mao Jiu and Xu Yi, also contributed, plus He Kuikuí, who was in bad relations with Ding Yi, and Xing Yi, who had given Cao Zhi the post of Marquis of Pingyuan, all 5 of whom had served as the Eastern Cao Shu of the XiangFu. Ding Yi served as the Western Cao Of the Xiang Dynasty, but under Mao Jiu's strategy of retreating, Western Cao was removed by Cao Cao, and Mao Jiu's dismissal from office can also be regarded as Ding Yi's counterattack.

In the Later Han Shu Hundred Officials Chronicle, Xi Cao Was responsible for the appointment of government officials, that is, the change of personnel in the Xiang Mansion. Dong Cao Tuan was responsible for the change of official positions above 2,000 stones, which is somewhat different from the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and Mao Jiu" mentioned that Dong Cao Tuan was responsible for electing talents. It may be that after The abolition of Western Cao, the functions of selecting talents were all concentrated in Eastern Cao.

Only He Kui and Xing Yi, who had successively served as the young prince of the crown prince, were not much affected, xing hao had been a courtier of Cao Zhi, and Ding Yi would more or less take care of the situation. He Kui's evaluation of Ding Yi was "with a heart of adultery", that is, adultery and evil, and Ding Yi was indeed favored during this period, and his reports to everyone were also well-founded.
In addition, Wei Zhen, who was the same as Huan Jie, was also co-opted by Ding Yi, but Wei Zhen firmly refused, and Huan Jie repeatedly maneuvered for Mao Jiu and Xu Yi, most likely on the opposite side of Ding Yi. Ding Yi appears frequently in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Book of Wei XII, and it is obvious that his main opponents are Cui Yan, Mao Jiu, He Kui, and Xu Yi, and the opponents are good enough, and Ding Yi himself is not far behind.
Ding Yi was good at criminal etiquette, and he often discussed with Liu Shuyì, but the two held different views, ding Yi wrote "On Criminal Etiquette", which has been circulated to this day. Liu Xi was in favor of punishment before ceremony, and Xie Jing, a native of Nanyang, admired Liu Xi, but was reprimanded by Lu Xun, who thought it was sophistry. And Ding Yi is a supporter of first ceremony and then punishment, with his achievements in prison, he may have also been in charge of the prison affairs of the Chancellor's Mansion, from whistle-blowing to punishment...
Ding Yi's actions eventually put him on Cao Pi's blacklist, and after Cao Pi took the throne, he directly killed the male dings of Ding Yi and Ding Yi's entire family. Another theory is that after Cao Pi ascended to the throne, he appointed Ding Yi as the right assassin, hoping that Ding Yi could cut himself off, but Ding Yi ran to Xiahou Shang to intercede, after all, xiahou Shang and Cao Pi had a good relationship at that time, but Xiahou Shang looked very touched and did not help much, and finally Ding Yi was ordered to be executed because of "negligence" in his position.
