Cao Cao has a headache.

There is a folk song: used to be red rice, pumpkin soup, the wife is a child, a big gang; now is white rice, Wang Batang, the child is a wife, a gang.

Cao Cao is an alien: his wife is a big gang, and the children are a great gang.

He has 25 children and he can make up more than two football teams.

It is also a difficult problem to choose one from 25 children to inherit one's career.

Who to choose?

Cao Cao's favorite is Cao Chong.

Cao Chong, Zi Cang Shu, is Cao Cao's seventh son, born by Mrs. ring.

Cao Chong was a famous prodigy in the Three Kingdoms period. He was intelligent, kindly and different. He was deeply loved by Cao Cao.

"Cao Chong called elephant" is Cao Chong's famous work.

Cao Cao praised Cao Chong several times to his ministers, and had the meaning of letting him succeed.

However, Cao Chong died in AD 208 when he was underage, only 13 years old.

When Cao died, Cao Cao was in pain.

Cao Cao could not choose Cao Zhi. He had to make Cao Pi the prince.

Another reason is that one thing made Cao Cao see his shadow in Cao Pi.

In 211 ad, Ma Teng and Huang Kui discussed Cao Cao's rebellion and killed him.

Ma Teng and his son were killed, and Huang Kui was also tortured.

In the end, Huang Kui did not get the punishment, but at last he came up with Cao Pi.

Cao Cao startled, immediately killed Huang Kui, and then quickly recalled Cao Pi, ready to interrogate Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi got the news, he was so frightened that he asked Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said to him that there is only one way to avoid this disaster: Lai! Because the prime minister is a man who asks "nothing but a result." if you cry on your knees, he will feel that your son is not promising and will certainly kill you.

On the contrary, if you don't admit it, he thinks you are a great person.

Cao Pi listened to Sima Yi's words. After all, he not only saved his life, but also enjoyed Cao Cao's love.

However, later facts proved that Cao Cao chose Cao Pi or chose the wrong person.

Cao Cao though "

Moreover, Cao Pi is not very authentic.

His father was "burying with his wife" and not buried his daughter-in-law with himself, but he was completely trapped by Cao Pi's income.

Before the death of Cao Cao, he received the name of the fragrance that he had received on weekdays, and gave them to his concubines and told them, "after I die, you must diligently study the women workers, make more silk shoes, and sell them for money."

As a result, he just gasp, Cao Pi let all Cao Cao maid, concubines to serve themselves.

Later, after being emperor for 7 years, Cao Pi was seriously ill, and soon failed. His mother, Cao Cao's wife, came to visit.

The old lady walked into his son's palace and suddenly discovered that his son's concubines were too familiar. It was not all the special favorite of her husband when he was alive.

Instead of going to his son's bedside, Bian's empress dowager asked, "when did you come?"

It means that when Cao Cao was just killed, he was given a soul raising ceremony, and Cao Pi took them away.

Editor's comment: therefore, the most important factor for selecting successors is to know their weaknesses, not to be used arbitrarily, and to learn from history. This old saying will not be out of date.
