ARTICLES RELATED TO Cao Rui | | | |  Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Rui - As emperorCao Rui's reign was a paradoxical one in many ways. He was clearly intelligent and capable, and yet never fulfilled his potential in his governance of the country or in his military campaigns. He showed great compassion at times, and yet was capable of great cruelty. He carried out many acts that were beneficial for the empire and yet at least as many that were hurtful. Despite his uncle Cao Zhi's successive petitions, however, he continued the severe prohibitions against princes' holding of offices that his father Cao Pi had put in place, a ...

| | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Mao - Reign: domination by the Simas Despite Empress Dowager Guo's intentions and Cao Mao's own intelligence, however, they made very little impact in trying to stem the tide of the Simas' growing power. In 255, the general Wuqiu Jian, the commander in the important eastern city of Shouchun (壽春, in modern Lu'an, Anhui), along with another general Wen Qin (文欽), raised a rebellion against the Simas, but were quickly crushed by Sima Shi's forces. Wuqiu was killed, and his ...

| | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Huan - Reign At the time Cao Huang became emperor, his name was changed to "Cao Huan", because it was difficult to observe naming taboo with the name "Huang" (which was a homonym to many common terms -- including "yellow" (黃) and "emperor" (皇)). During Cao Huan's reign, the Simas had actual power of the regime, and he was even more of a figurehead than his predecessors Cao Fang and Cao Mao. In 263, he created his wife Lady Bian empress.
For the first few years of Cao Huan's reign, there were constant attacks by Shu Han's commander of armed for ...

According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms by Chen Shou, Cao Chong had the intelligence of an adult around the age of five and six. On one occasion, the southern warlord Sun Quan sent a gift of an elephant to Cao Cao, who wished to know the animal's weight. No one could think of a method but young Cao Chong had an ingenious idea.

| | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Zhang - Life The second of Cao Cao's four sons by Princess Bian, Cao Zhang was said to excel in archery and armed combat in his youth. Though Cao Cao criticised his lack of academic learning, Cao Zhang had always aspired to pursue a career in the military.
When the Wuhuan tribe rebelled on the northern frontier in 218, Cao Zhang, holding the field rank of General of the Resolute Cavalry (骁骑将军), led a force of mixed infantry and cavalry to suppress the revolt. Outnumbered by the enemy, Cao Zhang took up a passive stance and defended the vit ...

Sun Quan - Early reign.
Early in Sun Quan's reign, the Eastern Wu administration was known for its efficiency, as Sun showed a knack for listening to correct advice and for delegating authorities to the proper individuals. For example, he correctly trusted the faithful Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin, so much so that he made a duplicate imperial seal and left it with Lu; whenever he would correspond with Shu Han's emperor Liu Shan or regent Zhuge Liang, he would deliver the letter to Lu first (as Lu's post was near the Shu ...

| | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Empress Guo Nüwang - As empress After Guo Nüwang became empress, she was said to have been a good leader of the imperial consorts, treating them well and disciplining them appropriately when they acted improperly, while hiding their faults from Cao Pi. She also appeared to have lived thriftly. Her influence on her husband's administration appeared to be minimal, and the only incident in which she was mentioned happened in 226, when, at the urging of her mother-in-law Empress Dowager Bian, she interceded on Cao Hong's behalf, allowing Cao Hong to be spared his life ev ...
