Wikidata gives his Chinese label as Cao Xun, in the traditional form of the character xun, and records his death in 249 and his occupation as political figure. The Chinese Wikipedia article is titled Cao Xun in the simplified form. The two are the same name, so the title stays as it is.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Family and office The Chinese Wikipedia article says he was from Qiao county in the commandery of Qiao, a son of Cao Zhen and a younger brother of Cao Shuang, and that he was enfeoffed as Marquis of Wansui Pavilion. After Emperor Cao Fang came to the throne, Cao Shuang took the regency as general-in-chief and appointed Cao Xun general of the guards, with the right to go in and out of the palace.[^zhwiki] ## The coup at the Gaoping tombs In the tenth year of Zhengshi (249), Cao Xun went with Cao Shuang and others when Cao Fang visited the Gaoping tombs. Sima Yi took the chance to launch a coup and seized control of Luoyang, and Cao Xun was dismissed. Soon afterwards Cao Shuang and all his brothers were beheaded on a charge of treason, and Cao Xun's three clans were exterminated. The article cites the Wei zhi biography of Cao Shuang as its source.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Cao Xun, written with the traditional character in Wikidata[^wikidata][^zhwiki] - Death: 249[^wikidata] - Origin: Qiao county, commandery of Qiao[^zhwiki] - Title: Marquis of Wansui Pavilion[^zhwiki] - Kin: son of Cao Zhen, younger brother of Cao Shuang[^zhwiki] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124617455|Cao Xun]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/cao-xun.html en zh en 249 249 historical figure relation_cnportray_q124617455 person_cn_q124617455 based_on person_cn_q11091288 作品中的人物形象，原型为该历史人物。 person_cn_q124617455 wikidata Portrayals person_cn_q124617455 Cao Xun /en/people/cao-xun-sanguo-q124617455.html true person_cn_q124617455 Cao Xun /en/people/cao-xun-sanguo-q124617455.html person based_on Portrayals relation_cnportray_q124617455 person_cn_q124617455 based_on person_cn_q11091288 作品中的人物形象，原型为该历史人物。 person_cn_q124617455 wikidata Portrayals person_cn_q124617455 Cao Xun /en/people/cao-xun-sanguo-q124617455.html true en zh en death_date Death 249 person_category Person category historical figure 1 50 1 1 1 1
