For example, Cao Cao was born in a bad family, had a bad family education and behaved badly as a child. Cao Cao, nicknamed Meng De, was born in Ayun, also known as Geely, Pei County (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province). Chen Shou's Three Kingdoms says that he is Cao Can, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, which is nonsense. Because Cao Cao shouldn't have been surnamed Cao, because his father Cao Song was adopted by Cao Teng. Cao Song and Cao Teng are not related by blood. Even if Cao Teng is proved to be Cao Can, what is the connection with Cao Cao? In fact, who Cao Song's biological parents were was a mystery at that time, and even Chen Shou could only say that "there is no way to judge birth, illness and death". Cao Cao himself is also secretive. He wrote "Family Biography", claiming to be "Tudor after Cao Cao" and tracing his family back to, which is even more nonsense. But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, both society and officialdom attached great importance to family background. Although Cao Cao hated this trend, he had to climb the weight and flatter himself for political needs. In fact, Cao Cao was born and raised in a eunuch family. His father Cao Song was Cao Teng's adopted son, while Cao Teng was a famous eunuch at that time. He was named Fei Houting as Da Changqiu. Da Changqiu is a big official among eunuchs, ranking 2000 stone, which is "provincial and ministerial level" in today's words. Cao Teng's personality is quite good among eunuchs, and he has a good relationship with scholars. He has done some disgraceful things and many good things and great events, so there is a biography in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. But in any case, Cao Cao will always be the adopted son of the eunuch. At that time, it was considered a bad birth. But the family should be good, at least not short of money. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, later became the official residence of Qiu (nominally the country's highest military officer) and spent 100 million yuan to buy it. Since the Cao family is so rich, it is entirely possible that Cao Cao lived a playboy life as a child. Cao Cao's family education may not be that good. Cao Song rarely asked about his son's education. Cao Cao's own poem says: "There are no three immigrants, and they have never heard of the court language." The so-called "three moves" means that Mencius' mother wants to ensure that her son has a good environment and is not affected by bad influences. I moved three times. The so-called "going to court" means that Confucius' son walked through the courtyard twice, and Confucius told him to educate him, once to learn poetry and once to learn etiquette. Such a thing has never happened in Cao Cao's family. It seems that when Cao Cao was a child, his parents were not very strict with him. Despite his parents' instruction, his family was well-off, and Cao Cao became the "problem of juvenile". The Three Kingdoms of Pei Songzhi quoted the biography of Cao Zang, saying that when Cao Cao was young, he was "a good flying eagle and running dog, wandering around the world". His uncle really can't stand it. He often reminds Cao Song to discipline this son well. Knowing this, Cao Cao thought of a clever way to deal with his nosy uncle. One day, when Cao Cao saw his uncle coming from a distance, he immediately cocked his mouth. Uncle asked him why, he should have had a sudden stroke. Uncle immediately went to report Cao Song again. When Cao Song asked Cao Cao to have a look, nothing happened. Cao Cao took the opportunity to say, I won't be blown by any wind! Just because my uncle doesn't like me, he speaks ill of me There is such a story of "wolf coming" at the bottom. Naturally, after what my uncle said about Cao Cao, Cao Song didn't believe it, and Cao Cao was even more unruly. Cao Cao's best friends, Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao, are almost the same kind of roles. They often get together to play pranks, and things are very out of line. Liu Yiqing, king of Linchuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in Shi Shuo Xin Yu that once a family got married, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao went sightseeing and even tried to steal their bride. First, they hid in someone else's garden. When it got dark, they suddenly shouted: There is a thief! The people attending the wedding ran out of the house one after another, and Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos to get into the bridal chamber and snatched the bride. When he didn't leave in a hurry, Yuan Shao got stuck in a thorny bush. Cao Cao used his quick wits and shouted, Here comes the thief! Lombardi a nasty, suddenly jumped out. Obviously, Cao Cao was a typical dude when he was a teenager. He was idle and idle, and his tricks and bad ideas emerged one after another. What does this mean? It shows that Cao Cao is a mischievous, unruly and treacherous person. Therefore, the "Three Kingdoms" said that he was "less alert and had the right to count, while Ren Xia was extravagant and didn't treat him with his industry", so many people ignored him (which is not surprising to the world) and even despised him (he was a man). For example, Zong Shilin, a famous Nanyang scholar, claimed to have "the ambition of pines and cypresses" and resolutely refused to associate with him (see Shi Shuo Xin Yu? 6? 1 founder "). However, there is a person who is very optimistic about Cao Cao. He was Qiu at that time. Qiao Xuan believes that Cao Cao is a rare talent, and he will definitely pacify the world in the future, so he trusts his wife. Qiao Xuan said: "The world will be in chaos, and it is doomed to be hopeless. Who can be safe, is it in Jun? "This statement is recorded in the text of the reflection, which should be reliable and reasonable, because Cao Cao is not an ordinary rogue or a dude. Sun Sheng's "similarities and differences" said that he was "brilliant, powerful, able to hurt others, well-read, and especially good at the art of war". Once, when he assassinated eunuch Zhang Rang, he escaped after a short dance. This shows that Cao Cao is an ambitious and ambitious person. Ambitious and treacherous, he is called "adulterer". In the third year of Emperor Xi of Han Ping (A.D. 174), Cao Cao, who was only twenty years old, was promoted to Xiaolian Langguan. Filial piety is a dutiful son, and honesty is an honest man. If a person is promoted to filial piety, he has the qualification to be an official, just as now he has a degree, he can take an examination of public officials. So what's it like to be a Langguan? In the official system of the Han Dynasty, the emperor wanted to choose one of his dear children to be A Lang. As a Langguan around the emperor, you participated in the politics of the empire, and you can get exercise by listening and speaking. After becoming a Langguan, he will soon be able to hold other official positions. This is a way to train cadres in the Han Dynasty. But then, I didn't care so much. Those LangGuan are not necessarily relatives and children, nor are they necessarily the guards around the emperor. They are just a professional promotion qualification and experience, equivalent to the current "third echelon" or "reserve cadres". But by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. All assessment procedures are basically going through the motions, mainly depending on the background. Cao Cao belongs to someone in the DPRK. Grandfather Cao Teng, Feng Fei Tinghou; Father Cao Song, in the position of three officials. So soon after Cao Cao became a Langguan, he was appointed as Luoyang North Commandant. A lieutenant is a military attache in charge of military or criminal affairs. Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is the largest county in the empire, with more than one county magistrate, four in the east, west, north and south, and a salary of 400 stones. So Cao Cao's commander in the north of Luoyang is a deputy county-level public security bureau chief in Kyoto. Cao Cao was recommended as the North Commandant of Luoyang. It was Sima Fang, the father of Sima Yi, whose official position at that time was equivalent to the deputy secretary-general of the imperial court. Cao Cao was appointed on the recommendation of Sima Fang. It is said that Cao Cao was unwilling at that time, and his ambition was to make Luoyang chaotic. However, Liang Hu, the "minister in charge of selecting ministers" (equivalent to the minister of personnel), did not consider Cao Cao's idea at all, so Cao Cao had to take office. As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he renovated the yamen and made five-color sticks, with more than a dozen hanging beside each door. " Those who violate the ban will be clubbed to death. "A few months later, indeed as expected a few people to die. Jianshuo's uncle, the eunuch favored by the Emperor Ling, relied on his nephew's hot power, ignored Cao Cao's ban, and openly prohibited night walking. Cao Cao was unambiguous and immediately killed this guy with a five-color stick. This is an example. Since then, the public security situation has greatly improved, and Cao Cao has become famous in the ruling and opposition circles.
