How many emperors were there in Wei Shuwu during the Three Kingdoms period?
Everyone must have a deep understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms through the artistic depiction of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but have you ever wondered how many emperors Wei, Shu and Wu added up during the whole Three Kingdoms period?

Today, I will give you an answer, that is, there were eleven emperors in the Three Kingdoms period. Among the eleven emperors, Wei has five, Shu has two and Wu has four. Who are these eleven emperors?

The first emperor of Wei was Cao Pi, the terminator at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In fact, the first half of the story recorded in Romance of the Three Kingdoms or History of the Three Kingdoms is not the real Three Kingdoms. The real Three Kingdoms began when Cao Pi usurped the independence of the Han Dynasty. Before that, everyone still symbolically respected Liu Xie, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In 220 AD (the 25th year of Jian 'an), Cao Cao and Wang Wei died in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi inherited Wang Wei. After Cao Cao's funeral, Cao Pi couldn't wait to show his fangs. Under the threat of Cao Pi and others, Emperor Liu Xie was forced to cede the title of emperor to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi deposed Liu Xie, proclaimed himself emperor and made Luoyang his capital. Xelloss died in Luoyang after seven years in office, at the age of forty, Emperor Wen of posthumous title.

On May 16th, 226 AD (the seventh year of Huang Chu), Cao Pi, who was ill in bed, called Cao Zhen, Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Cao Xiuzhao into the palace, personally named his eldest son Cao Cao as the Crown Prince, and entrusted Cao Zhen, Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Cao Xiu to assist Cao Cao.

Cao Cao died the day after he was made a prince. After the death of Cao Cao, he officially ascended the throne. Cao Cao was the second emperor of Wei. Fourteen years later, Cao Cao died at the age of 36. Posthumous title Ming Di was buried in Gao Ping Ling.

In 235 AD (the third year of Qinglong), Cao Cao adopted Cao Fang, the son of Cao Kai, the king of Rencheng, for his own use. Cao Cao passed it on to his adopted son Cao Fang before his death, and Cao Fang acceded to the throne before Cao Cao's coffin in Wei Mingdi.

After Cao Fang became the third emperor of Cao Wei, he was once the puppet of General Cao Shuang and Sima Jia because Cao Cao entrusted orphans by mistake. After Sima Yi and others succeeded in a coup in Ping Ling, Cao Shuang was killed and Sima Jia monopolized the political power.

In 254 AD (the sixth year of Jiaping), Cao Fang conspired with Li Feng, the secretariat, Zhang Ji, the father of the empress Zhang Guanglu, and others to abolish Sima's family, and later changed Xia Houxuan to a general. Later, because things were exposed, Sima Shi directly abolished Cao Fang as the King of Qi.

After Cao Fang, who reigned in 16, was deposed by Sima Shi, Sima Shi assisted Cao Mao, the son of Cao Lin, the king of the East China Sea, to ascend to the throne. After Cao Taizu became the fourth emperor of Wei State, he was dissatisfied with Sima Jia's intervention in state affairs. In 260 AD (the fifth year of Ganlu), he led the guards and slaves to crusade against Si Mazhao.

After seven years in office, Cao Maonian was only nineteen years old, but he didn't want to be a puppet emperor. Although he was finally defeated and killed, his courage was worthy of recognition among all the last emperors.

After Cao Mao was killed by Prince Ji Cheng, Si Mazhao and others made Cao Huan, the grandson of Cao Cao, the Wei Emperor, who was actually just a puppet emperor in Sima's hands.

After Si Mazhao's death, his son Sima Yan repeated what Cao Pi had done. He forced Cao Huanchan, who had been in power for six years, to take his place. In 265 AD, it replaced Wei, and Cao Wei perished.

Cao Wei took 45 years from Cao Pi's accession to the throne in 220 AD to his demise in 265 AD. There are five emperors, three of whom are puppet emperors. In fact, Cao Pi and Cao Cao were the fundamental reasons for the final demise of Cao Wei.

When Cao Pi was alive, he appointed Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others to implement the Nine-grade Zhong Zheng system formulated by Chen Qun and others, which led to the decline of Cao Zhi's clan power and encouraged the development of aristocratic families, resulting in the later clan power being shelved and unable to defend Cao Zhi's regime.

Moreover, the rule of Cao Pi and Cao Cao was not long, especially after Cao Cao's death, the wrong entrustment of orphans and young heirs became the fundamental reason why Emperor Cao Wei became a puppet.

After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty to build the Wei Dynasty, Liu Bei, who was determined to help the Han Dynasty, became emperor in Chengdu in 22 1 year (the first year of Zhangwu), and the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei was called the history.

Shortly after Liu Bei ascended the throne, he launched a war against Wu in retaliation for Wu's attack on Jingzhou. At that time, Zhuge Liang and others in the DPRK did not support Liu Bei's attack on Wu, but Liu Bei insisted on revenge for Guan Yu.

In 223 AD, Liu Bei's army was defeated by Wu Dong in Yiling. After Liu Bei and running all the way fled to Baidicheng, they called Zhuge Liang and others to Baidicheng, leaving Zhuge Liang and Li Yan alone and dead.

After Liu Bei's death, Liu Bei's son Liu Chan succeeded to the throne. With the help of Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan managed to maintain the survival of Shu.

Later, Wei Deng Ai led an army to sneak attack from level tone, and Jiang Wei led the main force of Shu to intercept the main force of Wei led by Zhong Hui at Jiange, unable to return to Chengdu.

Zhuge Liang's son, Zhuge Zhan, led an army to intercept Wargo at Mianzhu Pass. After Zhuge Zhan's death, Liu Chan had no intention to resist, and Liu Chan surrendered in Kaesong at the suggestion of Qiao Zhou and others.

It took 44 years from 22 1 year when Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor to 263 when Liu Chan surrendered in Kaesong.

Wu was the last of the three kingdoms to be king and finally to perish. In 229 AD (the first year of Huanglong), Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang. Sun Quan reigned for 24 years and died in Jianye in 252 AD.

After Sun Quan died, his son Sun Liang succeeded to the throne. After Sun Quan ascended the throne, he conspired with his eldest daughter, Princess Quan, Taichang Quanshang and General Liu Cheng to kill Sun Chen, but Quanshang's wife went to find Sun Chen and told him the secret. After Sun Chen knew it, he directly led the troops and surrounded the palace. Under the pressure of Sun Chen, Sun Liang was abolished as King Huiji, and he reigned for seven years after he ascended the throne.

After Sun Chen abolished Sun Liang, the second emperor of Soochow, Sun Xiu, another son of Sun Quan, became emperor in 258 AD. Sun Xiu reigned for seven years and died in Jianye in 264 (Yong 'an seven years). King posthumous title was buried in Dingling.

Sun Xiu was originally succeeded by his son after his death, but the court ministers thought that Sun Xiu's son was too young to govern the country, so they made Sun Hao, another son of Sun Quan, emperor.

In 279 AD (the third year of Tianqi), he usurped power to stand on his own feet, destroyed the State of Jin in Shu, and launched a war to destroy Wu. The following year, Sima Yan, the fifth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, sent six troops to attack Jiankang, the capital of Wu. In 16, Sun Hao, the last emperor of Soochow, surrendered in 280, and Soochow perished.

The demise of Dongwu also heralded the end of the Three Kingdoms, but no one in the Three Kingdoms expected that Wei, Shu and Wu had been conquering each other for many years, and finally the Jin Dynasty established by Sima Jia destroyed the Three Kingdoms one after another.
