Is Cao Cao related to Cao Shen, and what is the relationship between Cao Cao and Cao Shen

In fact, Cao Sen, as a prime minister, is not particularly famous in history. He has an idiom "Xiaocao Cao Sui", which shows that although his ability is not as good as Xiao He, he has a very flexible mind and knows how to govern the country. However, since Cao Shen's ability is not very strong, why did he become the second prime minister of the Han Dynasty?

After Cao Shen, many people doubted that there was a connection between him and Cao Shen. Could Cao Shen be Cao Cao's ancestor? How should this be proven?

1.Cao Cao and Cao Shen.

According to the "Historical Records", Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Shen, a famous figure in the Western Han Dynasty. In Cao Shen, we know that he followed Liu Bang to lay the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Later, the Han Dynasty established Xiao He as the first prime minister, and Cao Shen was the second prime minister of the Han Dynasty after Xiao He.

According to the original record of "Three Kingdoms: History of Emperor Wu of Wei": "Emperor Taizu Wu, a person, surnamed Cao, named Mengde, after Han ginseng. "It has been written very clearly here, Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Shen, why discuss the origin of Cao Cao?

The problem here is the later record. During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Cao Teng was the permanent attendant of Da Changqiu, but he was a eunuch and had no descendants, so he adopted a child, and this child was Cao Song, who was Cao Cao's biological father. At that time, no one knew that Cao Song was a ** person.

Then there's a problem here. Since the life of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is unknown, how can we conclude that Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Shen? Why is there such a contradictory result about Cao Cao's life in the same biography?

Emperor Huanshi, Cao Teng is Chang Changqiu's middle-level **, and he was named Feiting Marquis. Your godson is Qiu's **, and you can't judge his origin and ending. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

First, let's take a look at Cao Cao's statement of chasing and killing Cao Shen. The earliest records are in Schwey. The author of "Shu Wei" is Wang Xu, who is the official history of Cao Wei.

According to his records, Cao Cao's life dates back to the time of the Yellow Emperor. This relative climbed very far, which also promoted the identity of Cao Shen (Cao Shen is just a small **). We know that it was the historian of the Wei State, and Cao Cao was the actual founder of the Wei State.

Wang Shu passed on Cao Cao's strategy, and there must be a suspicion of deliberately beautifying Cao Cao, so whether Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Shen remains to be discussed.

It can be said that there is no half-dime relationship, Cao Cao was a person from the late Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Shen was a person from the late Qin and early Han Dynasty!

Cao Cao's original surname was Xiahou, and his father Cao Song was the adopted son of Cao Teng, so he changed his surname to Cao. It has nothing to do with Cao Shen in the Western Han Dynasty, let alone a descendant of Cao Shen.

Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Shen, Cao Shen is a person who followed Liu Bang to lay down the Han Dynasty in the world, and later the Han Dynasty established Xiao He as the first prime minister, Cao Shen was the second prime minister of the Han Dynasty after Xiao He, and when he was the prime minister, he completely followed the rules and regulations formulated by Xiao He during his reign, so later there was Xiao Gui Cao said.

Cao Cao (155-220), Emperor Wu of Wei, surnamed Cao, was a native of Peiguo County (now Bozhou City, Anhui). He was an outstanding politician, military strategist, writer and calligrapher in ancient China. The prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the son of Taiwei Cao Song, and the founder of the oak bridge of the Cao Wei regime.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. Cao Cao conquered the Quartet in the name of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, eliminated the separatist forces such as Eryuan, Lü Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao, and Han Sui internally, and subjugated the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei externally, unified northern China, expanded tuntian, built water conservancy, rewarded agriculture, attached importance to handicrafts, resettled displaced people, and implemented "rent regulation" to promote economic production and social stability in the Central Plains. In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), he was awarded the title of Duke of Wei, established the State of Wei, and set the capital of Yecheng.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216 years of Liang Zhameng), he was canonized as the king of Wei and was above the kings.

It is the Cao family themselves who say that they are descendants of Cao Shen.

But it's actually fake.

Even if it's true.

His father was his father, Cao Song.

is Cao Teng's adopted son.

His surname is Xiahou. It has nothing to do with Cao Shen.

Cao Shen is Cao Cao's nominal ancestor. Cao Cao's original surname was Xiahou, and he was passed on to Cao Song, who was a descendant of Cao Shen.

According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was a descendant of Cao Cao.

There is also a type of theory, that is, Cao Cao's grandfather, whose name is Cao Teng, adopted the children of the Xiahou family as an adopted son. According to this point of view, Cao Cao and Cao Shen are not related, but Cao Teng is a direct descendant of Cao Shen, so Cao Cao and Cao Shen are still related. Even if Cao Song is not Cao Teng's child, then it is very likely that he is the child of a certain Cao clan, in short, their common ancestor is Cao Shen.

However, according to the relevant ** research published in the journal "Journal of Human Genetics", after three years of research, the research team finally determined that the type of Y chromosome SNT mutation in Cao Cao's family DNA was O2*-M268 through modern gene reversal, and then through the comparison of Cao Cao's uncle and grandfather Cao Ding's ancient DNA. The results of this study also confirm that Cao Cao was not a descendant of the Han Dynasty Cao Shen, and at the same time disproved the claim that Cao Cao was adopted by the Xiahou clan.

Cao Shen's character experience

Cao Shen followed Liu Bang's rebel army in 209 BC and launched an offensive against the Qin dynasty. Because Liu Bang's subordinates fought bravely and produced many talents, with the assistance of Xiao He, Han Xin, Cao Shen and others, they finally overthrew the Qin Dynasty. Among them, Cao Shen's contribution in the Chu-Han War and the Pingding Battle in the early Han Dynasty is also not to be underestimated, and he has made many military exploits.

After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne, Cao Shen was awarded the title of Pingyang Hou; After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying ascended the throne, Cao Shen served as the prime minister, and his status became higher and higher, but he never put on a stand and was very friendly to the people.

When Cao Shen managed the affairs of the country, the country was politically stable and was much loved by the people. And he only served as prime minister for three years, but the results he achieved in governing the country were huge.

On the basis of the stable situation in the early Han Dynasty, Cao Shen advocated the Taoist doctrine of Wuwei, which was also the guiding ideology of the rulers of the empty dan, which directly influenced the later "rule of Wenjing". In terms of governing the country, Cao Shen also adopted the Huang Lao doctrine, which made the society stable. It can be seen that Cao Shen is a rare virtuous prime minister, worthy of the respect and memory of modern people.

Cao Cao is the Xiangguo after Cao Shen. But this is just the beautification of the historian. His grandfather Sikong Cao Teng was a eunuch, and there was no queen at all, Cao Cao's father was a successor, and his surname was Xiahou.

There is no half-dime relationship. Cao Cao was originally surnamed Xiahou.

At present, there is only one relationship between the research, and the surname is "Cao".

Cao Zhen is Cao Cao's clan.

Cao Zhen's father, Cao Shao, recruited soldiers and horses for Cao Cao, and was later killed by Yuzhou Mu Huangwan. Because of his appreciation for Cao Chan's courage and bravery, he led the tiger and leopard to ride. Cao Zhen performed prominently in guarding the northwest border of Cao Wei, and during the period of Emperor Wen of Wei, the superintendent of the generals broke the Qiang Hu coalition army and pacified Hexi; During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, he repeatedly fought against Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

He died of illness in 231 and was called the Marquis of Yuan.
