[Three Kingdoms | Cao Pi X All] Eastern Palace, Western Palace

Cao Pi reigned for seven years, favoring the noble clans and keeping his imperial relatives at a distance. As an emperor, he was beyond reproach. As an elder brother, he was too cold-blooded. Posterity has ultimately judged him more harshly than kindly. Dynasty Warriors made him famous for a time, but I have always thought he was as conflicted as his father. Chen Qun was no Zhen Furen, and Sima Yi was certainly no Guo Nuwang. These men and Cao Pi: the bold, martial spirit of the Peerless Hero, Zidan; Xiahou Shang's childhood friendship; Sima Yi's suspicions and their vow to "be buried in the same place"; or Chen Qun's support and companionship for a lifetime. In the end, whom did he choose to "trust"? Whom did he choose to "remember"? With whom did he choose to "die together," and whom did he choose to "let go"? With his passing, all of it was buried in history.
