A brief introduction of the Wei writer Ding Yi, why Ding Yi did not become Cao Cao's son-in-law in the end

Biography of Ding Yi

Ding Yi once had a marriage contract with Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Princess Qinghe, but Cao Pi proposed to Cao Cao cao to marry Princess Qinghe to Xiahou Shu on the grounds that Ding Yi had an eye disease, which eventually led to Ding Yi not being able to marry the princess. He was later hired by Cao Cao as The Rafters of Western Cao. The Ding Yi brothers befriended Cao Zhi and supported Cao Zhi as Cao Cao's crown prince. After Cao Pi became crown prince, Ding Yi was transferred to the right assassin. After Cao Pi established himself as emperor, Ding Yi was beheaded by Manmen. Cao Zhi wrote a poem "Another Gift to Ding Yi Wang Yue".

Ding Yi's father, Ding Chong, was friendly with Cao Cao and had made great contributions to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had always been grateful to Ding Chong. Ding Yi was a talented and beautiful man at that time, after Ding Chong's death, Cao Cao planned to marry his beloved daughter to Ding Yi, so he discussed this matter with Cao Pi, the eldest son who was still serving as a general in the five senses at that time, but did not expect that Cao Pi was not optimistic about this marriage, saying: Women still attach more importance to men's appearance, Although Ding Yi is very talented, but his eyes are too small, I am really worried that your beloved daughter will not like him, I think it is better to marry Xiahou Mao, the son of the Fubo general Xiahou Huan, so it is more appropriate to kiss him. Cao Cao agreed. Married Princess Qinghe to Xiahou Mao.

Later, Cao Cao appointed Ding Yi as The Western Cao, and after a conversation, Cao Cao admired Ding Yi's outstanding talent even more, and sighed: Ding Yi is indeed a rare young talent, even if both eyes are blind, I will marry my daughter to him, not to mention that the eyes are a little small, alas, it is Cao Pi who ruined my daughter's marriage!

At that time, Ding Yi was unable to marry Princess Qinghe, and she hated Cao Pi so much that she gritted her teeth, so she was more friendly with Cao Zhi, and often praised Cao Zhi in front of Cao Cao with Yang Xiu and others. Cao Cao was a little hesitant, and several times he almost made Cao Zhi the crown prince. However, Cao Zhiwen's popularity and talent were too strong, and he often acted willfully, did not pay attention to grooming and restrained himself, drank wine without restraint, and did several things that made Cao Cao very disappointed, and eventually lost his position as prince.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (twenty-one years), Cui Yan committed suicide, Mao Jiu was convicted, and Ding Yi played a great role, because Ding Yi gained power at that time, the courtiers were afraid of him and did not dare to look at him squarely. Only Shangshu servant He Kui and Eastern Cao's Dongguan native Xu Yi did not depend on Ding Yi. Xu Yi was destroyed by Ding Yi and was transferred away from Xu Du to serve as the Taishou of Wei County, and was spared with the help of Huan Jie. Shang Shu Fu Xuan said to He Kui: Ding Yi has already killed Mao Jiu, and you should bow your head slightly to him. He Kui replied: Doing things unjustly just hurts oneself, how can one harm others! Moreover, can a person with a treacherous heart grow up in the court of Saint Ming?

How did Ding Yi die in the end

In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), Cao Cao died, and Cao Pi succeeded him as King of Wei, and because Ding Yi had previously supported Cao Zhi, he intended to rule Ding Yi

For his crime, Ding Yi was turned into a right-sided assassin and plotted to let Ding Yi cut himself, but Ding Yi did not dare. Therefore, Xiahou Shang, the leader of Ding Yizhong, prostrated his head and pleaded for his intercession, but Xiahou Shang wept and interceded for Ding Yi, but to no effect. In February of the same year, Cao Pi demoted Cao Zhi to the title of Marquis of Anxiang and executed Ding Yi, Ding Yi's brothers, and the two men.
