Ts'ao Ts'ao meng-te
I don't like him at all. He was an excellent strategist and monarch, perfectly controlling his kingdom. However, he was cruel and inhumane. He opened positions to men of talent, making much of them only as they had utility values. His way of excluding men was cruel, and some ones were given death. One of his biggest sin was that he killed the emperess Fu to beat and send his daughter to take over the position. Was from a eunuch's family.
When he was young, he failed to assassinate Tung Cho, a man of power of the day, and wanted by the Court. He visited the house of his father's old friend on the run, and killed the entire family to have guessed that they would report of him to the Court. But it was a mistake. They wouldn't, he found soon later. He then insisited, 'I can betray anyone, while no one shouldn't betray me.'
