Cao Cao had so many advisers, but he was particularly important to Liu Ye, who was born in the imperial family of the Han Dynasty. In the process of Cao Cao's domination of the world, Liu Ye made many attempts, and even almost let Cao Cao occupy Liu Bei's unstable Xichuan.
And Cao Cao's rewards to Liu Ye were also quite numerous, he was successively named shizhong and marquis of Guannei, assisted by Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui, three generations of Wei lords, in the Cao Wei clique is really a pivotal position, Cao Cao every time he hesitates to ask Liu Ye for advice.
But you know what? It was this cao cao's heavy adviser who was actually a veritable han dynasty royal family, and was a descendant of the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor, but when it came to his kinship with Emperor Xian of Han, he was much closer than Liu Bei.
But in this way, the question also came: Since Liu Ye was a descendant of Emperor Guangwu of Han, why did he help Cao Cao and not emperor Xian of Han?

On this issue, I summarized several reasons:

1, from his personal point of view: Liu Ye was a strategist, and Cao Cao was very important to him, obedient to his words, the high-ranking official Houlu, Liu Ye was grateful for Cao Cao's kindness, and took Cao Wei's knighthood, but in the corrupt Eastern Han court could not be reused, naturally he would help Cao Cao.
2, from the perspective of Liu Ye's family, although he was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was also a descendant of Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Han Guangwu, but in fact, the Eastern Han Dynasty lasted for nearly two hundred years, and the descendants of Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Guangwu, spread their branches and leaves, all over the world, and Liu Ye was only a descendant of Liu Yan, the "quality king" who had been degraded by Emperor Guangwu and almost killed, and Liu Ye's generation was already an ordinary person, and his sense of belonging to the Eastern Han Dynasty was not strong, and he naturally did not want to help Emperor Han!

3, the Eastern Han Dynasty is thinning the western mountains. Even if Liu Ye wanted to help Emperor Xian of Han, Emperor Xian of Han also had to be a Dou who could be supported. But at that time, Emperor Xian of Han was like a prisoner in Xudu, the government and politics were controlled by Cao Cao, Emperor Xian of Han had no chance to grasp the power at all, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was weakening and crumbling, how could you let Liu Ye help? Can't help it at all!

4, helping Liu Ye, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not see the benefits. How does this say? In fact, Liu Ye was originally a power man, and he helped the powerless and incompetent Emperor Xian of Han, not only did not get a reward, but would anger Cao Cao and cause the disaster of killing himself. With Liu Ye's shrewdness, how could he possibly make such a loss-making business, naturally he wanted to help Cao Cao and abandon Emperor Xian of Han.

Through the above analysis, we know that although Liu Ye was a descendant of Emperor Guangwu of Han, he would rather help Cao Cao than help Emperor Xiandi of Han. There are always people who take Liu Ye and Liu Bei after all, saying that Liu Ye's help to Cao and not to help Han is to forget the ancestors.
In fact, from a public point of view, I also despise Liu Ye's personality, especially when Cao Pi asked Emperor Xian of Han to take the throne, Liu Ye was also one of the ministers who coerced Emperor Xian of Han, otherwise it would be impossible for Liu Ye to be reused by Cao Pi after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, as far as the general situation of the world at that time was concerned, Liu Ye should be more sober than Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, because the situation of great chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had already been formed, and Liu Ye was difficult to turn the tide, and he also knew that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would be defeated! Moreover, Liu Ye did not have the ambition of Liu Bei, but there was nothing wrong with helping Cao Cao!
But even so, Liu Ye should not forget that he was the identity of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and for his own glory and wealth, he sold the inheritance of his ancestors, so from this point of view, Liu Ye was far inferior to Liu Bei in terms of character!
