It is generally believed that Cao Rui's handover of power to Cao Shuang and Sima Yi before his death was the beginning of the Cao Wei regime's filtering of the Sima clan.

Emperor Yuan (posthumously sealed in the Western Jin Dynasty) Emperor Yuan Chen Liuwang Cao Huan (260-265, reigned 6 years).

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Cao Cao was awarded the title of Duke of Wei, established the Duchy of Wei, set the capital of Yecheng, Hebei, and then entered the King of Wei. After his death, his son Cao Pi was called the emperor, and Cao Cao was posthumously honored as Emperor Wu, and the temple name was Taizu.

Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei (March 15, 220, 155), whose real name is Geely, the word Mengde, the nickname Apu, the nickname Emperor Wu (Emperor Wu of Wei), was a native of Peiguo Qiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui).

Cao Cao became king of Wei in 216.

In the sixth year of Jiaping (254), Sima Shi deposed Cao Fang, the third emperor of Wei, and set up Cao Chao, the prince of Gaoguixiang, as the fourth emperor, and Sima Shi was in charge alone; Secondly, in the first year of Jingyuan (260), Sima Zhao sent people to kill Cao Chao and made Cao Huan the fifth emperor of Wei.

Cao Fang, Cao Chao, and Cao Huan are known as the kings of a country, but the imperial power is on the sidelines, and they are just puppets under the control of the Sima brothers and Sima Yan. Therefore, in a sense, Wei was the first of the three kingdoms to perish, and it existed in name only.

During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Pi was followed by Cao Rong as the emperor, and there were 5 emperors until the death of Wei. However, if Cao Cao, the Taizu of Wei who was posthumously crowned after Cao Pi ascended the throne, is included, there are a total of 6 emperors.

1. Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi (June 29, 226, 187), Zihuan, was a native of Peiguo County, Yuzhou (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province). A famous politician and writer during the Three Kingdoms period, he was the founding emperor of Cao Wei (reigned 220-226).

2. Cao Rong (January 22, 204, 239), that is, Emperor Ming of Wei, the character Yuanzhong, was a native of Peiguo County, Yuzhou (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province). Second Emperor of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period (reigned 226-239).

3. Cao Fang (232-274), the word Lanqing, a native of Peiguo County, Yuzhou (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province), the adopted son of Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, the third emperor of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, reigned from 239 to 254.

4. Cao Chao (November 15, 241, June 2, 260), a native of Peiguo County (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province). The fourth emperor of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period (reigned 254 260), the grandson of Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, and the son of Cao Lin, King of the East China Sea.

5. Cao Huan (246 302), whose real name is Cao Huang, the word Jingming, was a native of Peiguo Qiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui), the grandson of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, the son of Cao Yu, the king of Yan, the last emperor of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, reigned in 260 and 265.

This is because Cao Cao knew that his time was short, so he wanted to see the unification of Wei as soon as possible and cut off his soldiers, and Cao Pi was also seriously ill when he became the emperor, and he also hoped to see the unification of Wei in his lifetime, so he was also anxious, which led to the end of the destruction of Wei.

1. The rise and fall of the Wei State

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, as a generation of heroes, was about to dominate the country because of his son Cao Pi, because of his weak body, but he had the ambition to be the emperor, so he killed his brother, so that Cao Cao had to ignore him, for the prince and Cao Cao also died of headaches, failed to complete the desire to dominate the world in his lifetime, however, the Wei State only passed on for two generations and perished.

2. The reason why Wei did not have a unified state

First of all, the first reason is because, Cao Cao died of illness, Cao Pi ascended the throne in advance, and Cao Cao was not able to realize the desire of unification, and Cao Pi due to personal physical illness, but also hoped to be able to see the unification of Wei in his lifetime, so he was in a hurry, Cao Pi's teacher Sima Yi was also a great military advisor of Wei, he gave advice to Cao Cao when Cao Cao was still alive, let Cao Cao raise troops for ten years, and waited for the alliance between Eastern Wu and Shu to break down, and take the two together, although Cao Cao also knew that he could not rush, But because of Cao Cao, he knew that he didn't have a few years to live, so in order to be able to achieve unification in his lifetime, he went to attack the Sun-Liu Alliance in advance, so he was defeated and lost the advantages of recent years.

3, Cao Pi's impatience

And after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he was also in a hurry, because Cao Pi himself was already suffering from congenital diseases, and he didn't have any talent, he said that he would, only by employing people, but the first emperor Cao Cao, on his deathbed, instructed Cao Pi that he must not let Sima Yi get military power, otherwise no one will be able to control him, so Cao Pi did not follow Sima Yi's advice, and after cultivating for a period of time, he took a large number of people from Wei to attack Eastern Wu and Shu again, so the result was still the same as before Cao Cao, Before his death, he did not see the Wei State dominate the world.

And after Cao Pi's death, because Cao Pi's son, too, only grew up in the princely general's family, and was an only child, so he didn't, and the ability to be the emperor refers to listening to the villain's slander every day, in front of the little emperor in his palace, so that Sima Yi held the military power, which cut off the country of Wei together.

Cao Wei only lasted a few generations and then declined rapidly because Cao Cao would not choose an heir. Later, the Cao regime only lasted for a few generations, and then it declined rapidly, but was usurped by the Sima family, seized power, and was established.

Cao Zhi and Cao Pi are actually Cao Cao's hearts, and inheritance is to pay attention to the distinction of dignity and the principle of first come, first come, first come.

Because the Sima family behind it has been planning for many years, once Cao Wei's power weakened, he directly usurped the throne and became the emperor.

The history of Cao Wei, we know the eldest son who died bravely, and we can also see that it is not that Cao Cao will not choose an heir, because Cao Ang has died on the battlefield, so according to the ancient inheritance system, Cao Cao's heir can only be Cao Pi, the second son. In fact, it was not because of Cao Pi's incompetence that the Sima family took away the throne, but only because Sima Jia's people were very powerful people, and they had planned for many years, so the Cao family's throne would be taken away.

Because the life span of each generation is shorter than the next, and the Sima family is slowly growing!

Because the rulers behind are not worthy of the position, they are not talented enough to take on great responsibilities.

Because they were so mediocre at the time, and the times were not very good.

Neither Cao Pi, nor Sun Quan, nor Liu Bei could annex any other party in a short period of time. The role of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty no longer has any value.
