Fragrant Wei

These books have only one flaw: they're too short. 😁 The Cao Wei policy of granting titles to princes and dukes was highly problematic. No one except members of the imperial family should be granted titles of nobility, and even then, the nobility should be assessed based on ability. From the Jin to the Tang dynasties, the proliferation of titles was severe, with princes and dukes everywhere.

If Cao Fang had possessed even a fraction of Cao Mao's backbone and talent, the Cao Wei dynasty wouldn't have perished after only three generations.

Ten years after Emperor Cao Rui of Wei died, the Sima family launched the Gaopingling Incident to seize power, and even then, they barely won. After that, there were three rebellions in Huainan, loyal to Cao Wei… You're making the Sima family sound far too extraordinary.

The author wanted to portray the protagonist's ruthlessness, but he always fell short, making the character seem overly compassionate. I bet 50 cents, or 200,000, that the story will be abandoned.

When writing political intrigue stories, you can't completely demote the characters. Making Cao Shuang seem like an idiot is a major flaw.

Good heavens, you soften your heart so easily when a maid is wronged? Your heart is really cheap, buddy.

Sima Yi's coup at Gaoping Tombs was largely accidental. He would have had a hard time succeeding without the support of many aristocratic families. Even so, from Sima Shi to Sima Zhao, there were many people who opposed him. The important thing for the protagonist was to remain calm and composed, rather than acting rashly because he knew the history.

This is a good topic, but I suggest the author strengthen their understanding of the history of the mid-to-late Cao Wei period. From an official system perspective, Cao Pi abolished the position of Chancellor, essentially reverting to the system of the late Han Dynasty.

Seeing the stone used to cut off the dragon, it shows that true decisiveness requires ruthlessness; otherwise, one becomes soft-hearted halfway through. Benevolence and righteousness are no longer fashionable; if you're going to do something, either don't do it at all, or go all the way.

The protagonist is only eight years old and unable to rule personally. Even the imperial seal has to be handed over to a special person for safekeeping. Usually, he can only arrange for his tutors and officials from the prince's residence to handle state affairs. It's practically impossible for him to personally intervene, as described in the story. How can an eight-year-old child rule?
