On Yang Xiu's Playing Cao Zhi

Cao Zhi is the son of Cao Cao and the brother of Cao Pi. Four friends of Cao Zhi refer to four counselors around Cao Zhi, namely Yang Xiu, Han Danchun, Rockett and Ding Kuang. The four of them are assistant ministers around Cao Zhi, helping Cao Zhi compete for the throne of the Prince. Let me introduce the counselors to you separately.

I. Yang Xiu

Yang Xiu was born into a noble family. He is humble, diligent and knowledgeable. He helped Cao Zhi many times, passed the test of Cao Cao, and played an important role in the struggle between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi for the position of Prince. But later, because Cao Zhi became more and more arrogant, Cao Cao chose Cao Pi as his successor. When Cao Cao learned that Yang Xiu had participated in the competition for the position of Prince, he was very angry. Later, Yang Xiu was executed by Cao Cao.

Second, Han Danchun.

Han Danchun is a calligrapher, famous for Laughing Forest and Yijing. What is his name? Kobayashi's ancestors? There are many jokes, gimmicks, humorous anecdotes, satire and so on. He has been a scholar since he was a child and is very talented. He is good at writing articles and knows a lot of fonts. Cao Cao learned that Han Danchun's calligraphy was superb and invited him to Yecheng. At that time, Cao Cao preferred Cao Zhi, so he recommended Han Danchun to Cao Zhi. Later, after Cao Cao died of illness and Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Han Danchun made his own appointment.

Third, rockett.

Rockett is my brother and Ding Chong's son. He had an engagement with qinghe princess, Cao Cao's eldest daughter, but later Cao Zhi heard that Ding Yi had an eye disease and reported it to Cao Cao. As a result, rockett failed to marry the princess. At that time, because she didn't marry the princess, Rockett was furious with Cao Zhi and gnashed her teeth. Later, he often praised Cao Zhi's literary taste in front of Cao Cao. When Cao Cao wanted to make Cao Azhi a prince, he always felt that Cao Zhi was soft-hearted, and finally Cao Zhi missed the position of prince.

Fourth, Ding Gan

Ding Xun is also the son of Ding Chong. He is well read and versatile. Later, because he was close to Cao Zhi, he was killed by Cao Pi. Like Rockett, he is an official who assists Cao Zhi. He has repeatedly advised Cao Cao to let A Zhi be the prince of Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao appreciated rockett's talent, he was always hesitant about his successor. Later, after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he casually found an excuse to kill two brothers.
