What conflicts did Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Cao Cao’s two sons, have during the Three Kingdoms period?

They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into each other. This "Seven-Step Poem" appears in everyone's junior high school textbooks, and the original author of this poem is Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi . Cao Cao had twenty-five sons, among whom Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were the most talented and promising. Originally, these two people were supposed to be good brothers who loved each other, but later, because of the competition for the throne, very unpleasant things happened between them, and they even reached the point of fighting each other, so Cao Zhi wrote this poem.

Cao Zhi was more favored

In fact, in Cao Cao’s mind at the beginning, what he valued most was his youngest son Cao Chong. Not only was he talented, but he was also good at poetry, calligraphy, painting and martial arts. It's a must. But it is a pity that Cao Chong died when he was 13 years old. In desperation, Cao Cao could only focus on Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Cao Pi is Cao Cao's eldest son. In ancient times, the eldest son basically inherited the throne, but Cao Cao had higher hopes for his second son, Cao Zhi. Cao Pi became dissatisfied

Since Cao Chong's death, Cao Cao arranged for a close minister to lead Cao Zhi around Cao Zhi. This matter was also seen by the eldest son Cao Pi. He always felt aggrieved in his heart and believed that his father Cao Cao was too partial. Although his younger brother Cao Zhi was indeed talented, he had never led an army in a war. Such a person was not suitable to be an emperor. So the seeds of jealousy had long been planted in Cao Pi's heart, and the fight for the throne made him ignore brotherhood at all. Falling out because of the throne

The struggle between the princes is unimaginable to ordinary people. For them, power comes first, and family affection can only be ranked last. In the end, Cao Pi won the throne through various means. He believed that Cao Zhi's existence was a great hidden danger to him, so he wanted to put Cao Zhi to death. Cao Zhi felt very painful and sad in his heart. He could not believe that his brother who had grown up with him would treat him like this.
