Although Cao Rui was fooled by his subordinates because he was seriously ill before he died, he changed the candidate for the auxiliary minister, which led to Cao Wei's demise in the future, but I have to say that he guarded Cao Wei when Cao Rui was alive, and even Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan and others were helpless to join forces, and he was the final boss who could not be defeated at that time.

【Difficult situation】

Cao Rui and his father Cao Pi when they came to power when the external environment was completely different, in the Cao Pi period, Liaodong was still the weak Gongsun Gong in power, the Xianbei Kirby Neng and Bu Dugen and others had to fight inward, and was bullied by the generals on the Cao Wei border, Shu Han Zhuge Liang was busy recuperating and recuperating, busy quelling the rebellion, and the only Sun Wu was completely suppressed by Cao Pi, and Sun Quan basically had no power to fight back.

By the time Cao Rui came to power, the good days were basically over. First of all, Sun Quan finally turned over, as soon as Cao Pi died, Jiangdong immediately sent troops north to retaliate against Cao Wei, and then the two sides continued to open films, and the troops in the south were wave after wave; Then Shu Han also rested, and Zhuge Liang also dealt with the civil strife of Yonghong, Meng Shu and others, and could concentrate on the Northern Expedition again, and then clashed with Cao Wei six times, so that Sima Yi could not go out; Then Kirby Neng was also close to unifying Xianbei, and his strength was greatly strengthened, first besieging Tian Yu for seven days, and then killing Cao Wei's generals Lou Fu and Su Shang, and also jointly crusading against Cao Wei with Zhuge Liang. In the end, Liaodong also changed its leader, and the newly appointed Gongsun Yuan was ambitious, and when he contacted Sun Wu, his bad intentions were revealed.

Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Kirbineng and Gongsun Yuan can be said to be the four main opponents of Cao Rui when he was in power, but Cao Rui showed amazing ability in the face of this crisis. He sent Cao Zhen, Sima Yi and others to survive Zhuge Liang, sent Youzhou assassin Shi Wangxiong to assassinate Kebineng, and sent Sima Yi to pacify Liaodong, and in the end, only Sun Quan was alone in Jiangdong, and there was no real threat.

【A generation of masters】

Although Cao Rui was a little dizzy in the last few years of his reign, on the whole, he was still worthy of the previous generation of Ming Jun.

Militarily, Cao Rong resisted the attacks of enemies on all sides, and during his reign, he clashed with Shu Han and Sun Wu more than ten times, survived Zhuge Liang, repelled Sun Quan, eliminated Gongsun Yuan, and assassinated Kirbineng. Economically, he also re-used the five-baht coin, which changed the chaotic situation of Cao Pi's currency in the later period.

As the lord of Cao Wei, Cao Rui can actively listen to the advice of his subordinates, and is not easy to be deceived, even if he does not listen to the advice, there will be no unwarranted anger affecting the proposer. At the same time, we pay attention to legal principles. He ordered the establishment of a doctor of law, the reform of Chinese law, and the formulation of new laws. It also ordered the deletion of the death penalty clause to reduce the number of capital crimes; In addition to the death penalty, money can be used to atone for sins; Reduced the punishment of the cane, so as not to beat it into a trick.

In terms of culture, Cao Rong also made poems with heart, including many works such as "Short Song Xing", "Good Practice" and "Planting Melon Chapter". In later generations, Cao Rong and his grandfather Cao Cao and his father Cao Pi were called the "three ancestors" of Wei. He also recruited scribes to be placed in the Chongwen Hall to encourage his literary creation.

According to the "Book of Wei": The emperor's appearance is considerable, and he looks at it as if he is looking at it. Comfortable in the East Palace, not handing over courtiers, not asking about political affairs, just contemplating books. After ascending the throne, praise the minister, the material is simple and functional, the authenticity is not traded, the end of the flashy slander is avoided, the teacher moves the public, the major matters are decided, the ministers are general, and the emperor is obedient. Sexual strong knowledge, although the influence of the ministers' official books, the performance of famous deeds, and their fathers, brothers and children, once they are heard and seen, they will never be forgotten. Dirt hides diseases, tolerates blunt words, listens to the letters of the officials and people, up to dozens of hundreds in a month, although the words are ugly, still read the province to the end, and do not get tired.

Sun Sheng commented: Listening to the elders, Emperor Wei Ming has a handsome appearance, standing with drooping hair, some stuttering, and not many words, but his personality is calm, resolute and decisive. At first, the ministers accepted the edict and assisted the government, and Emperor Wei Ming sent them all out to guard the place, and the government was handled by himself. He treats his ministers with preferentiality and respect, is open-minded, loves to be straightforward, and does not humiliate and kill even if the ministers are criticized in person, and his monarchy is so magnanimous. However, he did not consider establishing kindness, so that the style could be passed on to future generations, and did not consolidate the Cao clan as the foundation, so that the power would be lost, and the society would be undefended, which was sad!

Chen Shou also commented on this: Emperor Ming Shen Yi judged that he could do whatever he wanted, and he was covered with the generality of a gentleman. At that time, the people carved cheats, the four seas fell apart, did not first cultivate the ancestors, expounded the Hongji, and chased the Qin Emperor, the Han Wu, the palace is a battalion, the grid is far away, and its death is sick!

Cao Rui's biggest regret in later life is the matter of the auxiliary minister, and his final choice of Sima Yi and Cao Shuang is indeed a big problem, which is undeniable, but it is undeniable that these two candidates are not the candidates that Cao Rui originally prepared, but because of the temporary change of candidates by Liu Fang, Sun Zi and others, Cao Rui also repeated it halfway. If it weren't for Cao Rui's serious illness and the decline in judgment and power, which gave Liu Fang and others an opportunity, even if Wei's national strength would decline, the national fortune would at least be delayed.

【Be kind to your relatives】

In the seventh year of the early Huang dynasty (226), after Cao Rong ascended the throne, he honored Empress Guo as the empress dowager, posthumously called his mother Mrs. Zhen Empress Wenzhao, and named his younger brother Cao Rui as the king of Yangping.

In the third year of Taihe (229), Cao Rong posthumously honored Cao Teng, the ancestor who had served as Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as Emperor Gao, and his wife Wu as Empress Gao.

In the sixth year of Taihe (232), Cao Rui's beloved daughter Cao Shu died before the moon. Cao Rui posthumously named her the princess of the plains, and established a sacrificial temple in the capital Luoyang to bury the southern tomb; ordered his mother Zhen's deceased nephew Zhen Huang to be buried with his beloved daughter, posthumously named the Marquis of Zhen Huang, and set up an heir for him to inherit his title.

【The Man Who Can't Conquer】

During the Three Kingdoms period, although Cao Rui's desire to control Wei was not very strong, he was at least invulnerable and did not give Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang any chance.

During Cao Rui's time in power, he was beaten a lot and counterattacked less, but the defense work was done very well, and there were no major problems in the selection of generals, and the defeat of Shiting was also caused by Cao Xiu's own arbitrariness, like Sima Yi and others obeyed Cao Rui's order to withdraw their troops and had nothing to do, it was Cao Xiu's own unwillingness to withdraw that he was defeated. Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Sima Yi, Zhang He and Man Chong were all major commanders in the Cao Rui period, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and others were not very obedient to dispatch by virtue of the prestige of the clan, so Cao Wei still had some loopholes, and later Cao Rui's control over Cao Wei became stronger and stronger, and Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan couldn't take advantage of it.

At that time, Cao Rui was a very suitable generation of leaders for Cao Wei, he maintained Cao Wei's national strength advantage, and did not take risks, did not be impulsive, did not give opponents a chance, although he did not personally lead the army, but the transfer of troops was not bad at all, although Cao Wei had many opponents at that time, but it was difficult to pose a threat.

Cao Wei in the Cao Rui period not only has a strong national strength, but also has an excellent and calm monarch, although Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan and many others join forces, but it is also difficult to please, after all, where is Cao Wei's own strength, Zhuge Liang and others are still human beings in the final analysis, and they are not gods, and they will not be able to break through any line of defense of Cao Wei in the end.

Cao Rui, as the boss of Cao Wei at that time, was basically unable to win. After all, people don't make mistakes, they don't give you a chance, and their strength is still strong, so they can't fight.

Concentrate:

In June, Ren Shen, the edict said: "There is a portrait of the Yu family and the people are guilty, and the Zhou people are guilty of punishment and do not use it." From the end of the hundred kings, I look back at the wind of the last world, how far is it? The laws and regulations are numerous, the offenders are numerous, the punishment is more numerous, and the adultery cannot be stopped. In the past, according to the article of the Great Opening, many things were removed, and the life of the people was thought of, and this is also my ultimate intention. And the county and the country are imprisoned, there are still hundreds of them in a year, how can I not teach alcohol, and the people are guilty of misdemeanors, and the law will still exist, and it will be trapped? There are those who discuss the prison sentence and the death delay, be lenient and simple, and beg for mercy, or resign from prison before being released to repay the judgment, so they can do their best to investigate the reason. He ordered the court lieutenant and the prison officials of the world to be sentenced to prison for all capital crimes, not to rebel and kill people, and to speak of their personal governance, and to beg for grace, so that they can be used as documents, and I will think about it. Its proclamation to the world makes it clear. ”
