Editing Cao Pi (section)

====Treatment of officials====
Cao Pi was recorded to frequently ridicule his subordinates. For example, [[Yu Jin]] was captured by Liu Bei's general [[Guan Yu]] at the [[Battle of Fancheng]] in 219, and was later taken back to Wu and detained there after the [[Lü Meng's invasion of Jing Province|Wu invasion of Jing Province]]. Yu Jin was allowed to return to Wei after Wu briefly became a vassal state under Wei in 221. Cao Pi reinstated Yu Jin as General Who Pacifies the Borders ({{lang|zh|安遠將軍}}) and announced that he would send Yu Jin back to Eastern Wu – where he had been imprisoned – as an envoy. However, before Yu Jin's departure, he was instructed to travel to [[Ye (ancient China)|Ye]] to pay his respects at Cao Cao's tomb. When Yu Jin arrived, he found that the emperor had commissioned artists to paint, in his father's tomb, scenes of the Battle of Fancheng. These scenes showed Yu Jin begging for his life to be spared and succumbing to the victorious Guan Yu, while his subordinate [[Pang De]] was shown dying an honourable death by resisting the invading forces to his last breath. Upon seeing the vivid mural, Yu Jin was so filled with regret and shame that he fell ill and soon died. Cao Pi further gave the deceased Yu Jin a negative-sounding [[Posthumous name|posthumous title]], "Marquis Li" ({{lang|zh|厲侯}}), for people to remember the latter as the "stony marquis (or vicious marquis)".<ref>({{lang|zh|暴慢無親曰厲。殺戮無辜曰厲。}}) There are two possibilities for someone to be given a posthumous title as "Li":  Being Cold-blooded and arrogant, or having innocent people slaughtered.
