# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around late 187, Cao Pi was the second son of the warlord Cao Cao but the eldest by Lady Bian, and he learned early to court officials for support while handling defence. After his father crushed Yuan Shao at Guandu, he took Yuan Xi's widow, Lady Zhen, as concubine; she died in 221, replaced by Empress Guo. On 25 November 220 he forced the last Han emperor to abdicate, proclaiming himself ruler of Cao Wei weeks later and ending a dynasty that had stood since 202 BC. Unlike Cao Cao, he turned inward: formalised Chen Qun's nine-rank system to draw talent into government, stripped princes of power to prevent rebellion but left them too weak to help in crisis, and fought Shu Han and Eastern Wu without major gains. He also wrote over a hundred works and composed Yan Ge Xing, the first Chinese poem in seven-syllable lines. He died 29 June 226 and was posthumously named Emperor Wen.
