Why did Cao Cao say, "The world blames me for Cao Cao"? What are Cao Cao's ambitions and ambitions?

Nine months after Cao Cao's death, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was forced to give way to Cao Pi, Cao Wei was established, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely destroyed.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he worshipped Cao Cao as Emperor Mao Wu.

In the second year, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, which was called Shu Han in history.

In 229 AD, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang, known as Wu Dong in history.

At this point, the situation of tripartite confrontation between the three countries has really taken shape.

Can it be said that Cao Cao is right? Three kingdoms? Is a great contribution, is his unremitting efforts, making the history of China from turmoil to reunification to a new level.

But maybe xelloss really shouldn't pursue his father, because it's his? Gild the lily? , let cao cao bear countless blame in later generations? Traitors, traitors, traitors and so on.

Cao Mengde had knowledge under the spring, so he had to sigh with emotion: The world wrongly accused me of Cao Cao. Today is not right, tomorrow is not right, when will it be good? ?

Singing the right wine, life geometry, such as morning dew, is much more bitter in Japan. ? Songlines

The trip to the sun and the moon, if it comes out, the stars are brilliant, if it comes out. ? See the sea

The old horse crouches, aiming at a thousand miles, and the martyrs are full of courage in their twilight years. ? Although turtles live a long life.

In Cao Cao's poems, we can see the difference between him and Sun and other princes, that is, Cao Cao's love for life and his thinking about life in the universe.

Facing the short life like the morning dew and the fragile life like grass, we should seize the short time and do something vigorous to realize our political ambitions. Only in this way can a limited individual become as eternal as Xing Han.

So what is Cao Cao's real ambition in history?

The Qing Dynasty was popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Anyone who wants to be an official must find a famous person to evaluate. Once highly appraised, it is worth a hundred times immediately, and Cao Cao is no exception. He found Xu Shao, a famous critic of Le Dan at that time, in Runan.

Cao Cao was appraised as an able man to govern the world and a traitor in troubled times.

There are two explanations for this sentence:

If we take the rule of peace and chaos as a verb, that is to say, Cao Cao is an able minister who rules the world and disturbs the adulterers all over the world.

If we use the world and troubled times as nouns, it means that Cao is a capable minister of the world and he is a traitor in troubled times.

Anyway, Cao Cao did make efforts for Nengchen, at least before the Jian 'an era, he made three efforts:

In the third year (A.D. 174), Cao Cao entered the officialdom for the first time and regarded Lian Xiao as a Langguan who could be close to the emperor. Because Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng and his father Cao Song were both powerful figures in the ruling and opposition parties at that time, Cao Cao was quickly promoted to Luoyang North Commandant.

From top to bottom, the military attache thought it was said. Hanshu? Guan Bai gong Qing Biao

This official position, seemingly small, has mastered the public security power at the foot of the emperor Luoyang, the capital.

At this time, political corruption occurred in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and corrupt officials in Beijing were rampant. Do you really need an extraordinary one to control these lawless elements? Peace elite? .

Cao Cao is such an elite. As soon as he took office, Cao Cao repaired the yamen and the official office took on a new look. He also ordered the manufacture of a special prop: a five-color stick, which stipulated that anyone who violated the ban would be killed if he did not avoid the strongmen. .

As soon as Cao Cao came to power, Jianshuo's uncle, a eunuch favored by the spirit emperor, relied on his nephew's protection to run amok, ignoring Cao Cao, who had just come to power, and flagrantly violated the curfew.

When Cao Cao's new official took office, he immediately ordered the reckless man to be killed with a five-color stick, so as to make an example for him. Since then? The capital is disappearing. How dare you make a mistake? The public security situation has greatly improved, and Cao Cao has been unanimously praised by the ruling and opposition parties: he is not afraid of violence and enforces the law like a mountain.

Cao Cao may not know that from this great beginning, he will embark on the road of struggling with the heroes of the gate valve all his life.

Criticize the current shortcomings

From 174 to Dong Zhuo's rebellion in 189, during these fifteen years, Cao Cao served as a captain of Luoyang North, Jinan Xiang and Yunnan Army.

In this ups and downs of official career, Cao Cao wrote to the imperial court many times in the face of decadent imperial court and officialdom, urging the emperor to adopt his own suggestions and reform state affairs. However, this letter from Cao Cao has been demoted three times.

During his tenure as Prime Minister of Jinan, Cao Cao constantly eliminated grass-roots bureaucrats and cracked down on strongmen. However, Cao Cao's move became an alien in the eyes of others in the officialdom at that time, and became the target of key attacks. He went to the grass-roots level three times and went to the local level three times? Petition? Return to the central government as a negotiator.

The consorts, gentry and eunuchs in the central government launched a fierce struggle. The emperor ignored the state affairs, officials took bribes and perverted the law, and the court sold officials and titles, and the tyrannies ran rampant. The people live in poverty and local unrest continues.

All this made Cao Cao see through the incorrigible of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the face of the declining dynasty, all the efforts made by Cao Cao were a drop in the bucket. An idea of complete rectification and transformation began to sprout in his mind.

In 189, the struggle between eunuchs and consorts entered a white-hot stage. In order to completely eliminate eunuchs, General He Jin ignored Cao's opposition, insisted on believing the advice of the cremation Yuan Shao, and wooed the northwest warlord Dong Zhuo into Beijing, which led to the complete demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, Cao Cao made a final effort to save the Eastern Han Dynasty. Instead of colluding with Dong Zhuo, he fled to Chen Liu and called on the governors to join forces in Beijing. However, I didn't expect these seriously fragmented princes to have lost the Eastern Han Dynasty court in their hearts. The purpose of joining the Coalition forces is only to find a legitimate opportunity to compete for territory.

In the whole action of the Kanto Allied Forces, only the weakest general Wei Fen-Cao Cao, Changsha satrap-Sun Jian, and possibly the Pingyuan county magistrate-Liu Bei really risked his life to serve the imperial court.

However, Cao Cao's single-handedness is undoubtedly throwing eggs at stones, because there is not enough support, so-called 18-route vassal Coalition forces will soon fall apart.

Since then, politician Cao Cao has no illusions. He knows very well that he wants to change? Bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no crows in a thousand miles? In dark troubled times, we can no longer follow the old path of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and we must uproot the roots of troubled times. Now all the eunuchs and consorts are gone, but the gentry, powerful men and warlords continue to bring unrest.

Based on the political status quo of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Cao Cao's ideal is:

Establish a new political pattern without gentry's corruption and monopoly, powerful people fishing for the people, warlords' separatist regime and people's displacement.

Therefore, after the road of ruling the country and being a minister was completed, Cao Cao made three efforts for his own ambition and ambition:

Only those who are really talented are recommended.

This is a reform measure carried out by Cao Cao in view of the monopoly of officialdom and the corruption of gentry in Han Dynasty.

Under the imperial examination system in the Han Dynasty, only those scholars who can really read, afford to read and read well can become officials. A few generations later, according to? Learning well is being an official? The truth of being an official has become the inevitable result of reading, and those family descendants who are officials through reading naturally have better reading conditions and recommendation paths. Gradually, these families formed a monopoly on official positions or certain official positions-forming a gentry class.

The emergence of monopoly will inevitably lead to the emergence of corruption. Scholars who don't have a chance to be an official either pay bribes to the gate valve that holds the recommendation right, or simply bow down at the door and become the henchmen of the aristocratic family after being an official. Being a bloodless family member in the name of teachers and students is the root of Cao Cao's view of dark politics in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

What is Cao Cao's way of confronting them? Elite management is promotion.

Establish an official selection system that does not look at family background, but only looks at personal talent and ability.

This will fundamentally disintegrate the power of the gentry, and even be a great innovation of the ancient bureaucratic system in China.

Because there is no exchange of interests in being an official, many honest people with real talents and learning finally have the opportunity to enter Cao Cao's account. As Tian Shelang, you will be crowned Emperor of Heaven at dusk. It was first put into practice when Cao Cao controlled the northern part of the Three Kingdoms. This is very different from the imperial examination system in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Jiupin Zheng Zhi system in the Jin Dynasty.

And these counselors and generals, who were promoted by Cao Cao from the lowest level, finally made great contributions to the great cause of Cao Cao's reunification.

Feng Tianzi is disrespectful to beg.

This is a political move made by Cao Cao in view of the chaotic situation in the world at that time. It is also the basis of Cao Cao's great achievements: a correct political banner.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, since the Yellow Scarf Uprising, state animal husbandry leaders all over the country have recruited their own armed forces to resist the Yellow Scarf Army. The Yellow Scarf Uprising was finally put out, but the local warlords were no longer under the unified control of the central authorities.

This situation intensified after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Kang occupied Liaodong; Yuan Shao occupied Hebei; Yuan Shu is divided into Huainan; Liu Biao sits in the well lane; Liu Zhangpian An Xichuan; Sun Ce dominates Jiangdong; Liang Yong has Marten Han Sui; There are Li Jue and Guo Si in Guanzhong.

There is not an inch of land in the world that belongs to the Eastern Han court. Every warlord is taking every opportunity to attack each other and expand his territory.

At this time, only Cao Cao saw the short-sightedness of the princes, and only Cao Cao found that if he wanted to pacify the rebellion of the princes, he had to have a justified banner, that is, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, who had been exiled between Chang 'an and Luoyang.

Serve the son of heaven so that he is not a minister? This is Cao Cao's policy. He decided to strike first and received the exiled son of heaven from Xudu. From then on, the road to pacify the world in the name of the eastern Han court began.

So-called? If the name is irregular, the words are not fluent, and the words are not fluent, then things will not work? Under the banner of the emperor, Cao Cao has great advantages over other princes. Supporting Cao Cao means supporting the Eastern Han Dynasty, and opposing Cao Cao means opposing the imperial court.

From AD 196 to Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao? Holding the emperor as a minister? Zhang Miao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other separatist forces. They were eliminated one after another, and the northern part of China was basically unified. It maintained the nature of China's unified country, and promoted the historical process of turmoil in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Today, if you talk about this alone, if you are arrogant and want others to say everything, you are not afraid. Leave the country alone. I don't know how many people will be king and how many people will be king! Or people are lonely and strong, but they don't believe in fate. They are afraid of selfish comments. They are arrogant and considerate of each other. Qi Huan and Jin Wen are so famous today that they can still serve Zhou Shi because they have great military potential. ? Make the county chronicles self-evident and the local chronicles orderly.

Use livestock and military resources for farming and planting.

Since the Yellow Scarf Uprising, the whole society has been in great turmoil, and many farmers have lost their land and become refugees because of the merger of powerful people and warlords. This led to serious problems in grain production, fiscal revenue and social security in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

After Cao Cao unified the north militarily, he solved the turmoil caused by the warlord melee. In areas under Cao Cao's control, a new system of rent adjustment and collection was implemented, the military camp system was developed, the fields were creatively divided into two parts, the income from the military camp was turned over to the state, the problems of taxation and rations were solved, and the people were allowed to farm their own fields to solve the problem of food and clothing for farmers.

In view of the occupied land, Cao Cao vigorously suppressed the local powerful forces and returned the land to the people, so that a large number of refugees regained their land and became the registered population of the government, and the labor force and soldiers were guaranteed.

In order to help farmers resume production as soon as possible, when there was no war, Cao Cao sent generals and others to carry out a large number of water conservancy projects, which greatly inspired farmers' enthusiasm for production. Historical records? Later, therefore, Daejeon, which was rich in national use, destroyed the rebellion and ruled the world. ?

It can be said that Cao Cao is politically anti-corruption and anti-monopoly. Economically encourage reclamation to resume production; Militarily, the princes are determined to maintain unity. It laid the foundation for the unification of China in the Western Jin Dynasty.
