History vs. fiction
Wei Taizu Cao Cao
The official history Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, Biography of Emperor Wu, introduces him as 'Emperor Wu, the Grand Ancestor, a man of Qiao in Pei, surnamed Cao, given name Cao, courtesy name Mengde.' However, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chapter 91, Sima Yi's proclamation states: 'Formerly, Emperor Wu, the Grand Ancestor, established the foundation, originally intending to establish Prince Chen Si (Cao Zhi) as the heir to the state; unfortunately, slanderers and villains gathered, and for years the hidden dragon remained dormant,' thereby questioning the legitimacy of Cao Rui's succession.
