Friends who like history can see that in the changes and changes of the dynasties and dynasties, there are both violent overthrows and peaceful transitions, and it is not uncommon to adopt the Zen way in the peaceful transition, of course, the abduction of force behind it, the exchange of interests, the invisible sword light and sword shadow, the invisible open struggle and secret struggle, in fact, to put it bluntly, the clear-eyed people can see that this is actually playing the style of doing things in the name of righteousness, and it is also necessary to package up the name of Zen concession, in fact, it is a hooligan to set up a torii
But many people have also found that although Cao Cao was in a position of great power, he did not force Emperor Xian to abdicate to him all his life, let alone engage in those vain Zen concessions, but he had great respect for Emperor Xian, at least in the open, not only to marry his daughter to him, but also to marry three, is this really a political show? If so, then what he did afterwards did not benefit from this political marriage? You must know that at that time, he could already do whatever he wanted, and the puppet-like Emperor Xiandi could not stop his sonorous steps forward.
But pulling out the smoke cloud of history allows us to return to the three kingdoms era that covered the sky, although from the perspective of posterity, Cao Cao was already blind and ambitious in the world, but in fact, every step he took was extremely difficult, it can be said that behind it has always been shadows, wind and clouds, it can be said that step by step!
To say that from the early years, almost all the heroes had the same heart in their hearts, that is, to support the Han Dynasty, but later many people lost their hearts, the earliest of course was the one who dared to risk the world's great disobedience, Yuan Benchu's own brother Yuan Shu, and later after Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian to abdicate, Uncle Liu Huang also had no face to even pretend that Emperor Xian was dead and he was panicked and called emperor. Cao Cao, who was considered the most ambitious by people, did not cross that step in his life, was he not willing?
In fact, although Cao Cao had already controlled the government, because of the presence of the banner of the Emperor Xiandi, he had not been the only one in the imperial court who had the final say. Although his heart was outside the country several times, his heart was always in the imperial court, why was he like this? Because before he married his daughter to Emperor Xian, there had already been two incidents of overthrowing Cao, when Dong Chenghe and The foreign relatives had risen up to overthrow him, but people ignored it when studying history. In fact, this is not just his struggle with the traditional warriors.
How capable the Emperor was was was not something that the warriors had to consider, what mattered was that he was the banner. In the power struggle, Cao Cao also gradually understood that if he wanted to forcibly replace the Han Dynasty, what this meant for the Cao Family, who had a shallow foundation, and how many of his own men were running to the Han Dynasty to throw themselves under his door, after all, although he was the Son of Heaven and occupied the morality, he was also kidnapped by the moral death. If he dared to openly abandon this morality, many people would leave him, and it was precisely because of this that his adviser Guo Jia completely broke up with him.
At this time, what he had to do was Xu Ertuzhi, that is, to complete the great cause of the Han Dynasty step by step. As his first pawn, it is to marry his daughter to Emperor Xian, which is both a signal that Emperor Xiandi will not kill you, but you have to be honest and peaceful, don't make the old man angry, I am three living monitors staying by your side!
More importantly, it is a kind of overture, which is a gesture of overture to the traditional warriors, indicating that I am a new force and your traditional forces taking the initiative to make friends, if you are willing to come and hold hands to make friends, I Cao Ah Qi is completely welcome! For the world, it is even more of an explanation, I have been like this, what are you not worried about? In this way, I also want to turn myself into a foreign relative, and since you can't come, then I'll just go over. This Cao Cheng Xiang's bosom was really big enough.
Cao Cao did not go beyond the step he wanted to take in his life, he fulfilled his reputation and a better future for Cao's descendants. At this time, Cao Pi, who was already a foreign relative, took the second step was the famous Jiupin Zhongzheng system in history, which resolved the contradiction between the traditional warrior clan and the new forces of Cao Wei. At this time, he was again praised and persuaded by a group of courtiers, and then three times by emperor Xian's side, pretending to be a show, and then ascended to the throne. And the latter thing is more interesting, Cao Pi actually married the daughter of Emperor Xian, which is equivalent to him marrying the daughter of his brother-in-law, on the one hand, he had to be called the old lady of Emperor Xian, but on the other hand, Emperor Xiandi still had to call him Brother-in-law, history is so funny, but it is just a political marriage and interest kidnapping.
