| ARTICLES RELATED TO Cao Rui | | | |  Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Zhang - Cao Zhang in Romance of the Three KingdomsThe Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a historical novel by Luo Guanzhong, was a romanticization of the events that occurred before and during the Three Kingdoms period. The author probably exaggerated the tension between Cao Zhang and his elder brother Cao Pi just after their father Cao Cao's death.
Cao Pi, the eldest surviving son of Cao Cao and the rightful heir, succeeded his late father. However, news came that Cao Zhang, leading a hundred-thousand strong army from Chang'an, was approaching the capital. Cao Pi was gripped by fear that ...

| | | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Fang - Background Cao Fang was probably born in 231, into a princely household of Cao Wei royalty and adopted by the emperor Cao Rui at a young age, perhaps as an infant. It is not conclusively known who his parents were, although official histories themselves speculated that he was the son of Cao Kai (曹楷), the Prince of Rencheng, who was the son of Cao Zhang and grandson of Cao Cao. Cao Kai was therefore a cousin of the emperor, and his son would be in the right generation to be an adopted son of Cao Rui. He had an adoptive brother, Cao Xun (曹詢), who might have been born in 230 and who was adopted with him, but for re ...

| | | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Pi - Events of 220: inheritance of his father's position and seizure of the imperial throne Cao Cao died in spring 220, while he was at Luoyang. Even though Cao Pi had been crown prince for several years, there was initially some confusion as to what would happen next. The apprehension was particularly heightened when, after Cao Cao's death, the Qing Province (青州, modern central and eastern Shandong) troops suddenly deserted, leaving Luoyang and returning home. Further, Cao Zhang, whom the troops were impressed by, quickly arrived in Luoyang, creating apprehension that he was intending to seize power from his brother. Cao Pi, h ...

| | | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Pi - Family background and early career Cao Pi was born in 187, to Cao Cao and one of his favorite concubines, Lady Bian. At the time of Cao Pi's birth, Cao Cao was a mid-level officer in the imperial guards in the capital Luoyang, with no hint that he would go on to the great campaigns that he would eventually carry out after the collapse of the imperial government in 190.

| | | | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Huan - Abdication and later life Cao Wei itself did not last much longer, however. In 263, Sima again forced Cao Huan to grant him the nine bestowments and this time finally accepted, signifying that an usurpation was near. In 264, he was promoted to the Prince of Jin -- the final step before usurpation. After he died in 265, his son Sima Yan inherited his position, and later that year forced Cao Huan to abdicate in favor of him, establishing the Jin Dynasty. He created Cao Huan the Prince of Chengliu, the tit ...

| | | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Mao - Attempted coup against Sima Zhao and death In 260, at age 19, Cao Mao was forced to again issue an edict granting Sima Zhao the nine bestowments, which Sima declined again, but which drew Cao Mao's ire. He gathered his associates Wang Chen, Wang Jing (王經), and Wang Ye (王業) and told them that, while he knew the chances of success were slight, he was going to act against Sima Zhao. (It was during this discussion that he used the famous phrase, "Even a pedestrian knows Sima Zhao's heart" (司馬昭之心, 路人皆知, Sima Zhao zhi xin, luren jie zhi), which later became ...

| | | | | Cao Rui: Encyclopedia II - Cao Rui - Family background When Cao Rui was born (likely in 205), his grandfather Cao Cao was the paramount warlord of Han Dynasty, who had rendered Emperor Xian of Han a mere figurehead. His father Cao Pi was Cao Cao's oldest surviving son and the heir apparent. His mother Zhen Luo had been the wife of Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi, but when she was seized by Cao Cao's army in 204, Cao Pi forced her to marry him, and she gave birth to Cao Rui only eight months after the wedding -- leading to rumors that Cao Rui was actually biologically Yuan Shao's son and not Cao Pi's. Th ...
