Biography[]
Mao Jie was born in Chenliu, but little is known about his early life. He was a low-ranking official in his home commandery and was known for his integrity and sense of justice. When the Han Dynasty began its collapse, and the warlords came to power, Mao Jie planned to flee to Liu Biao's Jing province but was ultimately unimpressed by the governor. Instead, he fled to the lands of Cao Cao, serving as an advisor for the warlord who respected his opinion greatly. Cao Pi also often consulted Mao Jie. He was a simple man. Despite holding vast power and a high government position in Cao Cao's court, Mao Jie wore simple clothes, ate only simple dishes, and cared for his brother's orphaned children. He donated all the money he earned from his position to the poor, leaving himself and his family with only the bare minimum to survive.
In 213, Emperor Xian named Mao Jie prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but with the Empire holding little to no influence in China at the time, this position was ceremonial at best. Mao Jie continued to serve Cao Cao until an incident in 216. A friend of Mao Jie, Cui Yan, was imprisoned for treason and subsequently beaten to death. When Mao Jie protested, he was also charged with fabricated treason claims by the opportunistic Ding Yi.
The motivation was a feud between Ding Yi and Cao Pi, and Mao Jie's association as one of Pi's most trusted advisors made him an enemy. Two officials, Huan Jie and He Xia, tried to convince Cao Cao to investigate these bogus treason charges. However, he was surprisingly indifferent to the whole ordeal and didn't care if the claims were valid. Eventually, he decided to release Mao Jie from prison but still revoked all his titles and forced him into retirement. Mao returned to his home and died somewhere later that year. When Cao Pi came to power in 220, he had Ding Yi and his family put to the sword as revenge for his earlier actions.
