What kind of person is Cao Cuo, what kind of person is Chao Cuo, and what is his evaluation?

He was an unlucky man, a cannon fodder in history, with no talent and ambitions, appearing in a season where he had to die....

In 156 B.C., Emperor Jing ascended the throne, and Xuan Tichao was mistakenly appointed as the emperor's secretary (emperor's secretary), and later moved to the imperial historian (deputy prime minister). Chao Cuo (died 154 BCE) was a statesman dedicated to the cause of the empire, who served as one of the three highest positions in the empire from 155 to 154 BC. It is said that he personally saved the Shujing from extinction, so he cannot be described as an anti-Confucian person in absolute terms.

He was stronger than Jia Yi and was a pragmatic politician who could analyze the issues of the time in an organized and systematic manner. He advised Emperor Jing to bravely deal with the challenges of the kings; He summarized the strategies and tactics that influenced relations with the Xiongnu; He strongly advocated the adoption of measures to increase agricultural production for the country. Like Jia Yi, he was well aware of Qin's mistakes and shortcomings.

It is not wrong to cut the feudal domain, but the key is to mistake his own mentality, in order to realize his political ideals as soon as possible, he wants to cut it all at once, politics is not in a hurry, and what he pays attention to is the heat. You see, in the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded in cutting the domain.

That's right. His measures could effectively help the emperor to concentrate imperial power and consolidate his position.

Chao Cuo cut the feudal domain to a certain extent to maintain the Han Dynasty's notification power, but caused the dissatisfaction of the vassal kings, they proposed "Qing Jun side, punish Chao Cuo", Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had no choice, so he had to cut Chao Cuo in half to the city, only to quell the rebellion of the vassal king. This is the "rule of Wenjing" is the biggest unjust case.

The occurrence of every historical event has its inevitability, which is required by the general trend.

Yes, individuals may have selfish intentions, but this is conducive to strengthening the centralization of power.

The right countermeasures came at the wrong time.

No one is perfect, the situation was critical at that time, under heavy pressure, Liu Qi's judgment of the situation was inevitably biased, although it was useless to kill Chao Cuo, but no one could guarantee that the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion could be quelled without killing Chao Cuo. Emperor Jing is the ruler of the world, and his control of the troubled times is worse, and he is definitely a good emperor for the common people in the world.

It was a political mistake to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but to kill the wrong people by mistake.

Killing Chao Wrong can gain the political initiative.

No, I was just dizzy from the heat.

The first reason lies in the Han Dynasty's philosophy of governance. We know that a unified country, it must have a national ideology, the state ideology of the Qin Dynasty, is the doctrine of Legalism, the state form before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the Taoist doctrine, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is Confucianism, the mother of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the mother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Dou is a person who believes in Huang Lao. Empress Dowager Dou has a rule, that is, her son and the people of the Dou family are only allowed to read Lao Tzu, only Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", and are not allowed to read anything else, so the entire group of people is Taoist, but Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty has a milder attitude, and Empress Dowager Dou has a tougher attitude.
