Although Cao Cao is relieved, it is not a trivial matter that there is no queen left and right, so Cao Cao is also pondering, should he pass on one of his grandsons to Zuo Xiaoright?

But after thinking about it, I gave up, if I really did this, it would be to let Zuo Xiaoyou openly stand in line.

Are you going to be Cao Pi's son? Cao Zhi's son? Cao Zhang's son? Cao Chong's son? Or whose son?

No matter whose son it is, it is openly tied to the child's father, and Cao Cao intuitively thinks that this kind of thing cannot be done.

As for the question of the future successor, Cao Cao has not yet made up his mind. One is under the conditioning of Zuo Xiaoyou, plus after practicing the breathing and breathing method, Cao Cao's body has been maintained very well, and he is even a little bit of a hurry to live younger and younger, according to this situation, Cao Cao is not a problem to even live for another thirty or fifty years, and there is really no need to worry about establishing a successor.

The other is that he is observing his sons, who is more suitable to take over his class?

First of all, Cao Pi ...... has been eliminated.

When Cao Chong was poisoned, Cao Cao conducted an investigation, and then found Cao Pi's head. Since then, Cao Cao has been cold to Cao Pi. Even his own brother is willing to die, how can such a person be his heir? If he really chooses him, I'm afraid that the other sons won't want to live.

After excluding Cao Pi, the right people are Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Chong.

Cao Zhi is very talented, and even Cao Cao was amazed by his talent, and even someone patted him on the back and said: There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian has eight buckets (this benevolent brother must have crossed over). This shows the depth of Cao Zhi's literary talent.

However, Cao Zhi has a big problem, that is, he is a little ambiguous with his sister-in-law.

Cao Zhi's sister-in-law, that is, Cao Pi's wife. When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and broke through Yecheng, Cao Pi broke into Yuan's mansion and saw a beautiful woman, who was the wife of Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi - Zhen Mi.

After Cao Pi saw Zhen Mi, he was shocked and immediately took her to see his father Cao Cao, saying, "Dad! I will take her as a concubine. ”

Cao Cao actually fell in love with Zhen Mi at a glance, but when he saw that he was preempted by his son, he could only say in a cozy manner: "Zhenwu daughter-in-law too!" ”

However, after Cao Zhi saw Zhen Mi, he was also fascinated by Zhen Mi, but Zhen Mi was already his sister-in-law at that time, and he couldn't understand what to do, so he could only write some small poems or something. However, Cao Zhi's talent is too high, and Zhen Mi seems to be very interested in the talent of his little uncle, and the two of them probably have a little eyebrows.

And Cao Cao discovered a very serious thing, that is, Zhen Mi's son born to Cao Pi, that is, Cao Cao's eldest grandson, is not the Cao family's species.

Cao Cao had been fighting for many years and had not paid attention to this, and when he first met his eldest grandson, Cao Rui, was already more than a year old. Because Cao Ruisheng is very beautiful, Cao Cao loves it very much, and he also said that the third generation of his Cao family will depend on you.

But because of Cao Chong's poisoning incident, Cao Cao began an investigation into the Cao family's concubines, and this investigation found out the problem.

Cao Rui was born in 204, and what was Cao Cao doing that year? In the attack on Yecheng.

This incident is recorded in history, Cao Cao sent troops in February, flooded Yecheng in May, and in August, Xianrong opened the city and surrendered, and Yecheng was pacified.

From here, it can be clearly seen that Cao Cao only conquered Yecheng in August, and at that time, Cao Pi led his army to Yuan's mansion first and met Zhen Mi.

Keep in mind that Cao Pi met Zhen Mi in 'August'. Normally, a man and a woman are combined, and the woman is pregnant, and the child will be born in October. When Cao Pi met Zhen Mi in August, even if Cao Pi snapped with Zhen Mi that night, and won the bid with one shot, Zhen Mi was going to give birth to Cao Rui, it would be a matter of the past year, how could Cao Rui be born in 204!

At that time, Cao Cao didn't know much about gynecology, and he went to consult Zuo Xiaoyou, and Zuo Xiaoyou gave him a science popularization about the changes of women from pregnancy to childbirth. After Cao Cao listened, his face turned green at that time.

The eldest grandson he loves is not the Cao family, but the Yuan family. How can Cao Cao accept this!

But why didn't Cao Pi say it? Later, after Cao Cao's investigation and analysis, he came to a conclusion, because Cao Zhi also had two sons at that time, if Cao Pi did not admit that Cao Rui was his species, then the eldest grandson of the Cao family would be Cao Zhi's side.

In order to compete for the status of heir, Cao Pi gritted his teeth and endured it.

But time can't stand scrutiny, and Cao Rui's date of birth gave Cao Cao a heavy blow. Thinking that his eldest grandson, whom he loved so much, was not his grandson, Cao Cao was heartbroken...... Then Cao Pi was completely beaten into the cold palace.

Because Cao Pi is out, then Cao Zhi originally had the greatest hope, but Cao Zhi's literary talent is too good, and in comparison, Wu Luo is too far behind. And Cao Zhi has never been on the battlefield since he was a child, and I don't know if the flowers in the greenhouse can survive the wind and rain and thrive?

But Cao Zhi is not very wrong at present, and Cao Cao will watch it for the time being.

Then there is Cao Zhang, who Cao Cao asked about Cao Zhang's ideals not long ago. Cao Zhang said that the big husband should be a horizontal knife immediately, fighting on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud Balabala. Cao Cao smiled and automatically excluded Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang is a general, not a human master.

And in the end, it was the youngest son Cao Chong. Now Cao Chong is also twenty years old, he is a big man, and in the past few years, he has shown enough Wen Taowu strategy, and even followed Xiahou Yuan to participate in the battle to recover Yizhou, in this process, Cao Chong also put forward a lot of constructive strategies, so that Xiahou Yuan greatly appreciated, after returning to Yecheng, Cao Chong is also full of praise, thinking that Cao Cao has Cao Chong, so there is no need to worry about no successor.

These words are very inappropriate as a courtier, but Cao Cao's father Cao Song was originally the adopted son of the Xiahou family to the eunuch Cao Teng, so the Cao family and the Xiahou family are a family, Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan are also cousins, and what their relatives said is inappropriate.

Yes, Cao Chong did perform quite well in the army, and two years ago, Cao Cao also began to let Cao Chong help deal with some government affairs, in the past two years, Cao Chong handled government affairs very well, and the progress was also very great, so that Cao Cao was very satisfied.

The most important thing is that Zuo Xiaoyou once said that if you want to be an enterprising king, you must be a younger brother.

Cao Chong has another youthful momentum on his body, which corresponds to his name - Chong!

And Cao Chong has a very good relationship with Zuo Xiaoyou, among Cao Cao's children, Cao Chong has the best relationship with Zuo Xiaoyou, and Zuo Xiaoyou seems to like Cao Chong very much, often instructs Cao Chong, and even often stays with Cao Chong overnight, which is a treatment that Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others do not have.

Zuo Xiaoyou is a genius of the world, and he has no heirs, he is simply an ideal candidate for Tuogu, and after Tuogu, who would Zuo Xiaoyou prefer to assist? It seems to go without saying.

But Cao Chong has one of the biggest disadvantages, not his son-in-law.

In fact, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are not sons-in-law, because their mother, Mrs. Bian, was not Mrs. Zhengfu at the beginning, and Mrs. Zhengwu was actually Mrs. Ding, but because Cao Cao was crusading against Zhang Xiu, because he beat Zhang Xiu's aunt Mrs. Zou, the angry Zhang Xiu rebelled on the spot, and then in this famous historical event, Dian Wei died, and most importantly, Cao Ang died.

Who is Cao Ang, he is Cao Cao's eldest son, but because Cao Ang's mother Liu died early, and his wife Mrs. Ding has no heirs, Cao Cao handed Cao Ang over to Mrs. Ding to raise. For Mrs. Ding, who has no children, she can't love Cao Ang, and she treats it as if she were a few. But he regarded himself as a few children, and because Cao Cao was greedy for beauty, his son Cao Ang died tragically. Mrs. Ding was grief-stricken and quarreled with Cao Cao several times, and finally Cao Cao, who was arguing, was irritable and sent her back to her parents' house.

Later, Cao Cao regretted it and wanted to bring Mrs. Ding back, but Mrs. Ding was dressed plainly, weaving cloth in the house, and ignored Cao Cao, Cao Cao even told her twice in a row: "Baby, don't be angry, go back with me, okay?" ”

But all I got was Mrs. Ding's silence. Cao Cao had no choice but to divorce Mrs. Ding.

Historically, when Cao Cao was about to come to the end of his life, he said the emotions that had been hidden in his heart: "I think that in my life, the person who can't let go of the most is Mrs. Ding, I have no negative feelings towards her from beginning to end, but I did something wrong, so that everything is irreparable, so that Mrs. broke with me." If, after death, there really is a soul and another world, if I meet Zi Xiu (Cao Ang, Zi Xiu), he asks me, 'Where is my mother?' 'How do I answer?' ”

Later, Cao Pi became the emperor, and he also said that if Zixiu was still alive, it would not be his turn to be the emperor at all.

Of course, history has no ifs, Cao Ang of this world also died, and Mrs. Ding also divorced Cao Cao, so Mrs. Bian became Cao Cao's new wife, so Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang became sons-in-law, and Cao Pi was the eldest son.

Even though Cao Pi and Cao Zhang have been eliminated by Cao Cao, there is still Cao Zhi's sister-in-law. And Cao Zhi's talent is not covered, but he is a little debauched, which is a bit like Cao Cao when he was young, so Cao Cao still loves Cao Zhi very much, but compared with Cao Chong, Cao Zhi is always a little less interesting.

But a son-in-law is a son-in-law, and for most of ancient times, the heir was chosen from among the eldest sons of the lady of the main house.

The son of the main chamber is the son-in-law;

The son of the side chamber is a concubine.

Under normal circumstances, the first thing to do is to set up a son-in-law. Unless there is no son in the main house, then the firstborn is to be appointed. That is, the oldest son. Of course, this is the general situation, and in many cases, the heir is still to be chosen by the head of the family, who he thinks is suitable to be the heir, he has the right to let whoever inherit his title and most of the family property.

Cao Cao is in a dilemma now, is the choice actually not bad, but not as good as his youngest son's sister-in-law Cao Zhi? Or choose Cao Chong, who is better and more capable in all aspects, but is a concubine? (To be continued.) )
