"Like a frightening, graceful dragon." Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Hua Mao Chun Song. It is as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow is flowing like the wind. This is a good sentence of the talented Cao Zhi in the famous "Roselle Endowment" of the ancients to describe the beauty of Roselle, the article is gorgeous, outlining the unique style of the absolute beauty, which makes people feel turbulent, and indeed lives up to the reputation of Cao Zijian's high eight buckets. However, such a talented noble prince, with a noble origin, was desolate in the evening.
Cao Zhi (曹植), courtesy name Zijian , was the third son of Cao Cao and his wife Lady Bian at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Zhicai was a well-known literary scholar at that time, and it was precisely because of his outstanding literary style, Cao Zhi's poetic strength was strong, and he also had the prose of "love and elegance, the body was literate", the style of writing was changeable, the achievements were outstanding, and it was unforgettable. Cao Zhi and his father and brother are collectively known as "Three Caos". The Southern Dynasty Song dynasty literary scholar Xie Lingyun had a blue eye for Cao Zhi, who once said: "There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian has eight buckets", which shows that Cao Zhi is amazing and brilliant, and people love him deeply.
Cao Zhi was not at ease in his infancy, as Cao Cao's son, when he was young, he accompanied his father around to consult, and the conquest years of his father and brother Rong Ma left a deep impression on Cao Zhi, so that at the age of fifteen, he accompanied Cao Cao on the Eastern Crusade, Xiao Yong was bold, plus Cao Zhi did not like luxury, was frank, and won Cao Cao's weight. However, where blessings and misfortunes depend, blessings and misfortunes depend. It was precisely because of his father's love that Cao Zhi, who had no intention of being a high-ranking official Houlu, was forced to get involved in the shizi dispute.
Fifteen years after Jian'an, tongquetai was completed, Cao Cao summoned the literati Yashi to write poems, among the people, only Cao Zhi did not hesitate, and achieved it in one fell swoop, Cao Cao thought that this sub-category of him, and had high hopes for him. Later, Cao Cao gradually discovered that although Cao Zhi had hills and valleys in his chest, he was too young, willful, and too weak. In particular, in the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Cao Zhi was very drunk, and he drove in the forbidden road of the emperor, and when Cao Cao appointed him to go on the expedition, he was drunk and unconscious, which disappointed Cao Cao and made Cao Pi the crown prince.
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi ascended the throne. The emperor was very jealous of his brother, who had been loved by his father, and on several occasions he wanted to kill him. Later, because Cao Pi suspected that Lady Zhen was having an affair with Cao Zhi, he tried to attack his brother, but fortunately Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps to resolve the crisis. Cao Pi degraded his younger brother again and again, causing Cao Zhi to continue to migrate, trapped in the fiefdom, sullen and unhappy, and depressed. The fall of a generation of talents has to make people feel a thousand emotions!
