The Three Kingdoms is a man's battlefield, but when it comes to which woman in the Three Kingdoms plays the biggest role, many people may feel that Zhang Chunhua Zhen Mi Sable Cicada these are more familiar characters, these characters do appear more in various interpretations and TV series, but if you want to talk about the history, it must be Empress Guo (later Empress Guo), this Empress Guo is not Cao Pi's Queen Guo, but the empress of her adopted son Cao Rui, in the late Wei and Jin Dynasties, her words are basically nine words, Although many times it is forced.
During the reign of Emperor Cao Rui of Wei. Empress Guo still had no say, and after Cao Rui's death, Cao Fang succeeded to the throne and honored Empress Guo as empress dowager, but when Cao Shuang was assisting the government, in order to compete for power, he squeezed Sima Yi and put empress Guo under house arrest. In 249, Sima Yi used the emperor to launch a coup d'état at Gaoping Mausoleum, which was issued in the name of Empress Guo, when sima Yi had only one empress dowager. And there was an emperor on Cao Shuang's side, and in the end Cao Shuang had never worked as Sima Yi, which showed how much prestige this Empress Guo had. Even if she was imprisoned, a single will would allow Sima Yi to have the upper hand in name.
After Sima Yi's death, all the power of the State of Wei went into the hands of his son Sima Shi, who in turn deposed Cao Fang as emperor in the name of Empress Guo. At that time, he wanted Cao Pi's younger brother Cao Zhao to be emperor. But Empress Guo disagreed, she said. Cao Zhao was his uncle, and if Cao Zhao became emperor, what would she do as an empress? At this time, Sima Shi did not dare to force it, so he made Cao Rui's younger brother Cao Lin the Prince of Donghai the son of Cao Huan as emperor. This can be said to be a major victory in the later confrontation between the Cao Wei regime and the Sima regime.
Later, Yiqiu Jianwenqin raised an army in Huainan and together they attacked Sima Shi. As we all know, in ancient China, when the general army needed a name, then whose name did they use? Or Empress Guo! It seems that everyone knows that her words are better! However, in the end, they all failed to raise an army and were suppressed by Sima Shi, but it did not affect The status of Empress Guo at all.
After Sima Shi's death, Sima Zhao took power over the State of Wei. At this time, Cao Xian was also relatively old, and he was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Sima family and wanted to rebel. Before resisting, he still spoke to Empress Guo, and Empress Guo did not stop it. Then he went out. Of course, his rebellion was suppressed directly in the palace, and then Empress Guo came to clean up the mess at this time, saying that it was due to her own lack of virtue.
After Cao Huan became emperor, or empress Guo became empress dowager, empress guo died in 264, but her story was not completely over. Because another rebellion later was to use her reputation, that is, Zhong Hui's rebellion, he said that he had Empress Guo's will in his hand. It was this edict that made him rebel against Sima Zhao, and a person who died could have so many twists and turns. It can be seen how much this person has influenced history.
In the later period of the Cao Wei regime, basically all the major events and Empress Guo were inseparable, although many of them were only in her name, but it also showed that her status at that time was at least much higher than those so-called women in the film and television, what do you think?
