The historical stories of the troubled period of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the fate of the characters during that period, and the fate of the characters changed the changes of the times.

Breaking the traditional concept of "respecting Liu and suppressing Cao", the description of Cao Pi and Cao Rui in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed brief, but if the literary filter is peeled off, the father and son in history are far more complicated and more charming than in the novel.
Cao Pi: Not only a "usurper", but also an underestimated all-around civil and military talent. In some novels, Cao Pi is often portrayed as a sinister usurper, but his image in official history is more three-dimensional: a talented man with both civil and military skills: he was able to ride and shoot at the age of eight, and once defeated martial arts masters with sugar cane as a sword; he wrote "The Art of War" and saw through the flaws of Liu Bei's company at a glance. At the same time, he is a representative figure of Jian'an literature because of his outstanding literary talent and "writing becomes a chapter". Even Chen Shou praised him as "talented scholar".
Cao Rui: The strategy and decisiveness of the young emperor. Cao Rui ascended the throne at the age of 23. Facing the powerful ministers left behind by his father and the eyeing Shuwu, he showed political wisdom and military courage far beyond his age.
Intention: Use dialectical and multi-angle thinking to analyze characters
