In ancient times, people who could live to be over 60 years old were considered as long-lived people. After all, the medical level at that time was still limited.
From Cao Cao's point of view, it is not completely annihilated. There have also been people like Cao Yu and Cao Pi who have lived longer.
According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms Hua Tuo, Cao Cao suffered from head wind disease and had a headache all the year round. This disease has tortured Cao Cao for many years, indicating that Cao Cao has hidden diseases. As for whether the disease is inherited, it is not recorded.
Cao Cao is a lecherous and a charming wife. She has many harem beauties, and Cao Cao has a wide range of wives. It is precisely because of this extensive hobby that some hidden dangers will be buried. For example, Mrs Bian married by Cao Cao gave birth to four sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and Cao Xiong. None of these sons live long, which proves that the child has some hidden dangers.
First, Cao Cao himself has hidden dangers of diseases, and there are hidden dangers in his genes. The collision of two hidden dangers has had a bad influence.
What are the genetic consequences of Cao Caotou's disease? There is no historical record. After all, the science at that time had not developed to study genetics. For example, hemophilia in the British royal family only spreads among royal families, which proves that some diseases are engraved in genes. Not everyone will inherit this disease, but some people will be caught by the genetic spell.
Therefore, it is not excluded that Cao Cao's genes have non-longevity factors. Although Cao Cao himself got rid of the trouble of disease inheritance, he could not rule out the phenomenon of atavism.
Let's take a look at Mrs. Bian's bloodline, which itself has no special longevity. It can be seen that this lineage has other hidden concerns, but there is no clear historical record.
When two genes with hidden dangers are combined, it is equivalent to two kings exploding in a pile, and there will always be some physical problems.
In fact, a truth can be deduced from these problems. Women's health and IQ are very important when considering the genetic problems of the next generation.
Bian Shi itself has hidden dangers, and my son xelloss is not a fuel-efficient lamp. There are physical problems in itself. If you cultivate yourself, you may live longer. If you don't care, can you live longer?
It is not easy for xelloss to ascend to the throne. After some efforts, he got the position. All his good fortune and wisdom were spent fighting for that power. How can he be healthy?
Second, the consequences of the power struggle
There are many young princes in the royal family, which is the sequela of power struggle.
To stand out from many brothers, Cao Pi must think of many ways. People who often think about things will worry too much, and so will Cao Pi.
The benefits of Machiavellian tactics will also make people feel more depressed. The dispute between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi not only damaged the feelings between brothers, but also made them think too much.
Cao Cao himself is the same. Although it is a lean generation, it also faces the pressure brought by power. How can a stressed person have good health?
From the perspective of modern medicine, Cao's family members are under too much mental stress, and long-term mental stress will also kill their health. It is conceivable that in such an environment, how did Cao Can's descendants cultivate themselves?
In fact, it's not just the descendants of Cao Cao. What about the sons of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi? They all died early in the power struggle, even if they were healthy, sometimes they could not escape the punishment of power.
When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi fought for the position of Chu Jun, they tried their best to kill him. Finally, they got the well-known seven-step poem: Boil or not, the beans cry in the kettle. We are born from the same root, so why should we speculate with each other?
Both Cao Zhi and Cao Pi can pick up the butcher's knife, so you can imagine how fierce the battle for imperial power is.
It is strange that you can live a long life under such pressure. Power is a good thing, but it is also a double-edged sword. There is no real winner in the game of thrones.
Looking at many people in the world, future generations will also lose themselves in power. Qin Shihuang was wise in SHEN WOO, and all his sons died in the power struggle, so the descendants of Cao Cao also consumed their lives in the power struggle.
Third, the Cao family has a common problem, lewd.
Since Cao Cao, the Cao family has a common problem, which is to indulge in debauchery.
In fact, it is not a great thing for people to have desires, but it is bad to go too far. Anything without constraints will go to the other extreme.
Cao Cao had a problem that was criticized by later generations. He is a good wife. In the first month of the second year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao led an army to crusade against Zhang Xiu and stationed in Ganshui. Zhang Xiu then led his army to surrender to Cao Cao.
After Zhang Xiu surrendered, I didn't expect Cao Cao to do an extremely ridiculous thing at this time, occupying Zhang Ji's wife, and Zhang Ji is Zhang Xiu's uncle. It is undoubtedly a great insult to Zhang Xiu for Cao Cao to occupy Zhang Ji's wife.
Of course, Cao Cao also paid a heavy price for this matter. Zhang Xiu launched a rebellion, attacked Cao Jun and killed Cao Ang and Dian Wei.
There is a saying in the Three Kingdoms: Wu Dong controls Loli, and Cao Wei is a good wife. It can be seen that a generation of lean men have not escaped the temptation of gentle countryside.
No one knows how many beautiful women there are in Cao Cao's harem, because it is impossible to make it clear. Figures such as Mrs. Huan, Mrs. Du, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Yin, Wang, Zhou Ji, Liu Ji, Song Ji, etc. can still be seen in historical materials. Why? Because they all gave birth to children for Cao Cao, Cao Can verified that there were as many as 25 sons of Cao Cao. These beautiful women who gave birth to children are still recorded, and how many anonymous ones are not recorded is unknown.
Cao Cao also collected along the way, such as his aunt Zou and Lu Bu's wife Du Fu's Qin. As long as boss Cao thinks fit, they will all be included in the harem.
Cao Cao's lewdness is well known. By Cao Pi's generation, Cao Cao's lecherous gene was almost perfectly copied.
Xelloss and his father, Cao Cao, attacked Yuan Shao's stronghold, Yecheng. He had long heard that Yuan's wife was a world-famous beauty, so he "incorporated" this beauty. Later, Zhen Fu gave birth to Cao Cao, but Xelloss was not satisfied. After sitting on the throne, he began to indulge in debauchery. According to "Notes on Ancient and Modern Times" written by Cui Bao of the Western Jin Dynasty, there are four absolute minions of the Forbidden City in Wei Wendi: Mo Qiongshu, Xue Yelai, Tian Shangyi and Duan Qiaoxiao.
The genetic defect of Cao Shi family has been unable to support longevity, and it has been addicted to debauchery for a long time, which has buried a short-lived hidden danger since Cao Pi's generation.
