In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Cao captured Yicheng, and Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi's wife Zhen became a prisoner, and because of Zhen's unparalleled beauty, he was taken for himself by Cao Cao's son Cao Pi, and Zhen gave birth to a son and a daughter for Cao Pi, namely Cao Rui and Princess Dongxiang.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), after Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to take the throne, he became emperor himself, so he took two daughters of Emperor Xian of Han as concubines, plus many other beauties in the harem, Cao Pi became increasingly cold to the Zhen clan, and Cao Pi's favorite concubines were Guo Gui and Li Guiren and Yin Guiren, who were very favored.
When Zhen saw that Cao Pi was happy with the new and tired of the old, he said a complaint, who knows, this word reached Cao Pi's ears at once, and Cao Pi was furious and gave Zhen to death in the second year of the Huang Dynasty (221).
The Zizhi Tongjian records that: That is, the emperor's throne, Anping Guo Gui's concubines were favored, and Lady Zhen was not allowed to see her. Frustrated, complaining. Guo Gui's concubines were furious, and the emperor was furious. In June, Ding Di sent an envoy to the death of Lady Shi.
The following year, Cao Pi made Guo Gui's concubine empress.
After Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, he posthumously honored his mother as Empress Wenzhao.
Just because of a word, zhen was given to death, and Cao Pi's desperation can be seen from this.
And Cao Rui was almost the same as his father Cao Pi, who also gave the empress to death because of a word.
Cao Rui's original match was Princess Yu of the Plains, and after Cao Rui became emperor, she did not establish her, so she complained to the empress dowager Bian Shi, and Cao Rui was furious and abolished the Yu clan and never met.
In the second year of Cao Rui's succession, he made Mao Gui's concubine empress, and later, Cao Rui liked the new and tired of the old, and began to favor Lady Guo of Xiping, snubbing Empress Mao.
Once, Cao Rui led the beauties of the harem to play in the back garden and hold a banquet, and all the concubines above the harem talented people participated, but the only thing that did not invite the Mao Palace, for this reason, Cao Rui also clearly told his entourage that no one was allowed to tell Empress Mao about this matter.
The next day, Empress Mao saw Cao Rui and asked him if he had fun playing in the back garden yesterday. Cao Rui listened, was furious, and believed that someone had revealed the news, so he put all his entourage to death, and then, still, without resenting, gave Empress Mao to death.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records: In the first year of the Jing Dynasty, the emperor visited the back garden and summoned talents to feast on the music of bliss. Empress Yuan was known as "Empress Yiyan", Emperor Fuxu. It is forbidden to be left and right, so that it cannot be pronounced. After knowing, tomorrow, after the emperor saw it, he said: "Yesterday's feast in the North Garden, happy?" "The emperor leaked left and right, and killed more than ten people. Death after giving.
In this way, Empress Mao was given to death just because she asked Cao Rui a word, which shows Cao Rui's ruthlessness. It's really like that saying, people who don't like it, even breathing is wrong.
Cao Pi and Cao Rui father and son were so desperate for the empress, and Cao Cao did a very good job of this.
Cao Cao's original match was Lady Ding, who had no children, but she raised Cao Ang, and Cao Ang's mother, Lady Liu, died early.
During the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao was humiliated by Zhang Xiu's concubine, and suddenly rebelled, and Cao Cao was beaten by Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin died in this battle.
For this reason, Lady Ding was very angry, believing that Cao Cao had killed Cao Ang, so she gambled and returned to her mother's house.
Later, Cao Cao went to invite Lady Ding, and when she arrived at Lady Ding's house, Lady Ding was weaving cloth, and Cao Cao stroked Lady Ding's back and said, Follow me back, Lady Ding ignored him. Cao Cao persuaded for half a day, Lady Ding still did not speak, later, Cao Cao was leaving, walked to the door, Cao Cao turned back and asked Lady Ding, come back with me! However, Mrs. Ding still did not speak.
Cao Cao helplessly said that there was no way, so he divorced Lady Ding and asked the old man to persuade Lady Ding to remarry.
"Wei Luo" records: Taizu arrived, touching his back: "Gu I am carrying it together!" "Madame does not care, and should not. Taizu did, standing outdoors, fuyun: "There is nothing to be evil about!" So no, Taizu said, "It's a real trick." "He and his family will marry him."
However, Mrs. Ding did not remarry.
From this incident, it can be seen that Cao Cao still has feelings and righteousness for the original Lady Ding, and is much stronger than Cao Pi and Cao Rui.
