Why did Cao Cao insist on killing Hua Tuo?It was only after 12 years that he learned that he had made the right decision
It is only in this chaotic era that people's hearts are unpredictable, morality is degenerate, and deceit has become the norm. In this chaotic situation, there was a doctor known for his extraordinary medical skills, known as the "medical wizard", he was Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo was originally benevolent and had the desire to save the dead and help the wounded, but because of the helpless environment, he was involved in a contest with power and embarked on a road of no return to compete with power. In the end, he tragically came to the end of his life and passed away gloomily.
This is the tragic story of a healer who is revered as a "miracle doctor" because of his excellent medical skills, but he is unable to extricate himself from the whirlpool of power and finally dies tragically.
The miracle doctor Hua Tuo, a genius who was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. From an early age, he showed extraordinary intelligence, a strong interest in medicine, and a great talent. And what he pursues is not the deeds of martial arts heroes, but the sea of ancient medical books, and the remedies of those unique curative medicines. As the years passed, Hua Tuo bid farewell to his hometown and traveled all over the world, asking the witch doctors everywhere for advice on those distant and mysterious **.
Not only that, but he cultivated a group of kind and benevolent **, and studied medical skills in depth with them. After a long period of dedicated study and practical practice, Hua Tuo has made outstanding achievements in various fields such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics and acupuncture, and is proficient in all of them.
What's even more remarkable is that he dared to challenge innovation and created a drug called "Ma Boiling Powder" in medicine, which can make people temporarily unconscious. With this miraculous drug, Hua Tuo dared to perform large-scale surgical operations that no one else dared to imagine at the time.
His medical skills and drug inventions were rare treasures at the time, and later generations had to admire his medical attainments and courage.
In 208 AD, during the battle between Cao Cao and Guan Yu, Guan Yu was unfortunately hit by the poisoned arrow of the enemy Pang De, and the arrow pierced deep into his right shoulder. When the pain was unbearable, Guan Yu felt a cold feeling on his shoulder, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
Pound was overjoyed to see the situation, because he knew that the arrows were coated with the poison he had carefully crafted, and those who were hit by the arrows were destined to be immune. When the soldiers on the battlefield saw Guan Yu hit the arrow, they changed color one after another, but they were helpless.
Suddenly, someone suggested that Hua Tuo, the world's divine doctor, be invited, maybe he could find a way to save Guan Yu's life. So, the people rushed away and eagerly invited Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo carefully examined Guan Yu's injuries and found that the arrow was deeply embedded in the shoulder bone. He warned that if the arrowheads were not removed quickly and the contaminated bones were cleaned, the venom would spread rapidly, endangering Guan Yu's life. Therefore, he proposed to immediately perform surgery on Guan Yu, cut the flesh and flesh, and clean the bones. Guan Yu is a bold and rugged man, and he has long been open-minded about death.
Without hesitation, he instructed his soldiers to put themselves on the flagpole. Hua Tuo waved his knife and carefully cleaned up the blackened bones for Guan Yu's ** wound. The people present gasped one by one, for fear that Hua Tuo's slightest carelessness might hurt the major arteries.
However, throughout the process, Guan Yu remained calm and calm, and Ma Liang under his command was still playing chess and laughing on the side. When Hua Tuo completed the operation and bandaged Guan Yu to stop the bleeding, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and admired Hua Tuo's medical skills. If it weren't for Hua Tuo's help, Guan Yu might have died on the battlefield.
Hua Tuo, who had miraculous medical skills, heard that Cao Cao had a splitting headache and was called to come for diagnosis and treatment. Cao Cao was in his fifties and suspicious, barely sleeping with drugs and acupuncture. Recently, headaches have occurred frequently, which directly affects the handling of government affairs.
The doctors tried to recuperate, but to no avail. It is rumored that Cao Cao had a headache attack and even fell into a coma. The imperial doctors were in a hurry, and none of them cured Cao Cao's illness. Finally, there is a ** suggestion to invite Hua Tuo, the world's divine doctor, to come, maybe he has a unique skill. Cao Cao then ordered Hua Tuo to come for treatment.
Hua Tuo carefully checked the pulse, looked at the tongue, and judged that the headache was related to the pressure of government affairs. It is recommended that Cao Cao recuperate for several months, stay away from government affairs, and supplement it with drugs to regulate the body to improve blood circulation in the brain.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious and refused to leave the court to sleep and recuperate. He was worried that his political opponents would take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, so how could he relax!Seeing this, Hua Tuo proposed surgery and a craniotomy to clean up the bruises. However, Cao Cao was even more shocked when he heard that the knife cut off his head.
Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor, was deeply imprisoned and tortured by Cao Cao. Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo intently, wondering if he was instructed to frame him. Recalling Hua Tuo's previous treatment of Guan Yu, Cao Cao was suspicious and considered whether he was bribed by Liu Bei and others, so as to take the opportunity to harm him.
Cao Cao thought twice and decided to put Hua Tuo under house arrest for a period of time. Day after day, Cao Cao's headache symptoms did not improve in the slightest, but worsened. Faced with Cao Cao's distrust of his diagnosis and **, Hua Tuo was disappointed and could only try to find a way to go home.
After learning that Hua Tuo wanted to leave, Cao Cao was furious and immediately sent someone to escort Hua Tuo back to his house and torture him in an attempt to extract a confession. Cao Cao asked Hua Tuo whether he was instructed by someone and whether he murdered him. Hua Tuo was too weak to bear the torture, so he reluctantly confessed to a series of crimes. However, in fact, Hua Tuo has always been loyal to others and has no second heart.
Under Cao Cao's forced confession, Hua Tuo was exhausted, and gibberish became an inevitable result. Cao Cao saw Hua Tuo "confess" to the crime, coupled with his own suspicions, and even ordered him to be put to death. As a result, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo unfortunately died in Huangquan, and there was no chance to turn the situation around. Cao Cao's suspicion and cruelty finally ended the life of this brilliant healer.
After Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo, he suffered from headaches, and finally died 12 years later. After Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi succeeded him and became the founder of the Wei Dynasty.
Cao Pi finally realized that the reason why his father killed Hua Tuo was to consolidate the imperial power and establish prestige. He hoped that the whole world would understand that the king's command was above all else, and no one could disobey it. Cao Pi realized, what is the life of a doctor?The choice made by my father is the right way to maintain the government.
When Cao Pi ascended to the throne of rule and overlooked all living beings, he could truly understand his father's foresight. If a small doctor is tolerated to disobey the emperor's order, will it not be the bane of others to defy the king's order?Killing one to make an example is the right way to consolidate imperial power.
Cao Pi even thanked his father for his decisiveness to some extent, because he did not let Hua Tuo become the fuse that shook the royal power. Cao Cao's decision, though brutal, ensured the rule of the Cao clan in troubled times. The life of a doctor, compared with the king's world, Cao Pi thinks that this deal is really cost-effective.
With the passage of time, people gradually realized how unique and rare Hua Tuo's medical skills are. Once lost, it is difficult to reproduce the figure of the miracle doctor. In contrast, Cao Cao's father and son were only a series of participants in the power struggle in the troubled times, and did not leave any grand historical achievements.
The scales of history are gradually tilting in favor of the other side - the divine doctor Hua Tuo has risen to fame for his medical achievements;However, Cao Cao was recognized as a brutal monarch, and his killing of doctors was difficult to erase. Hua Tuo proved the nobility of medical ethics at the cost of his life, but Cao became a typical tyrant who fought violence with violence. An ordinary person, Hua Tuo left behind him a reputation far better than that of the emperor Cao Cao. Which is more important, medical ethics or royal road, history has given a clear answer.
