Idioms and allusions

From the period of the Three Kingdoms - the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao intended to make Cao Zhi the crown prince, which aroused the envy of his eldest son Cao Pi. When Cao Pi ascended the throne, he persecuted Cao Zhi many times and changed his fiefdom three times. In 223, Cao Pi asked Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and Cao Biao to go to the court meeting in Kyoto.
