Cao Cao said fortune telling

A "Linjiang Fairy" sang all the heroes in the world. During the Three Kingdoms period, heroes came forth in large numbers, and Cao Cao made his debut as the humble grandson of eunuchs. Relying on his own tactics and wisdom, he stood out in the war against Dong Zhuo and established his own power. In the first year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao succeeded in unifying the Yellow River valley, worshiping the Prime Minister and sealing Wang Wei with his clever plan of welcoming Xian Di. ?

When I was a child, a fortune teller told Cao Cao that he was a minister capable of governing the world and a traitor in troubled times. Judging from his achievements, he can really stand the test. In the year when he knew his fate, Cao Cao was already a very important minister. The emperor let him knead and all officials did whatever they wanted, but he didn't take the step of becoming the emperor, leaving the world with an eternal mystery.

If Cao Cao does not proclaim himself emperor, it is premature to conclude that he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. In Cao Cao's later years, many courtiers advised him to be emperor, but he kept it a secret and said? If this is my destiny, I will be Zhou Wenwang? . This sentence expresses his true thoughts. He doesn't want to be an emperor, but he can help his son become an emperor? Zhou Wuwang? , instead of Korea, become the emperor, then loyal subjects can't say.

Cao Cao, who came from humble origins, paid the most attention to reality, not to fame, and did whatever it took to achieve his goal, which was also an important reason why he could defeat Yuan Shao's four seasons and three fairs. At that time, he dictated all the imperial edicts, formulated all the imperial edicts and appointed all the officials. Although he is called prime minister, he is actually an emperor. Take the Han room instead, but just seek a false name, Cao Cao doesn't care. ?

Judging from the external conditions, Cao Cao's failure to proclaim himself emperor also has its objective test. Although Cao Cao achieved absolute control over the Han Dynasty, his sphere of influence was limited to the northern areas, such as Liu Bei and Sun Quan. If you rashly claim to be emperor, you will not only lose the initiative he created in his early years to make the princes exist in name only, but also let Sun and Liu join forces to fight against the heroes of the world as traitors and villains. Yuan Shu is an example. Cao Cao is so thoughtful that he naturally won't let himself be in an invincible position for a false name.

The last reason, perhaps the most important one, is that Cao Cao doesn't want to be accused of being a traitor. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the world was chaotic, there was a Han dynasty, which was greatly influenced by Confucian ethics of loyalty and filial piety. Cao Cao himself took a fancy to this point, relying on the emperor to be a vassal and becoming famous himself. Once Xian Di is deposed and ascended the throne, he will become a sinner through the ages and be spurned and scolded by people of all ages, which Cao Cao absolutely does not want to face.
