Zhen Mi, also known as Zhen Ji, "a female chaos three Cao" and "Roselle Endowment" heroine, and the same name as the big and small Qiao' peerless beauty. Her husband Cao Pi not only brutally murdered her, but also "covered her face with chaff to plug her mouth", one of the biggest reasons for which was the suspicion that she was wearing a green hat. Cao Pi, this person, has a very heavy sense of jealousy, and the story of Zhen Mi and him, Cao Cao and Cao Zhi and others, and listen to me slowly.
1. Zhen Mi was once Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law, and Cao Cao and Cao Pi fought for a daughter
Zhen Mi was born into a famous family, and his ancestor Zhen Handan had worshipped Sima Da, one of the three dukes, and was also the son-in-law of Kong Guang, the fourteenth grandson of confucius. The family inherited the official position of 2,000 stone Feng Lu, and his father Zhen Yiguan was the supreme Cai Ling.
She was a proper Bai Fumei who was promised to Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi at the age of 15. The Yuan family's "four generations and three dukes", protégés and former officials all over the world, can also be regarded as the right door. The history of the relationship between the two is not recorded in detail, only that Yuan Xi liked this daughter-in-law very much.
However, the Yuan family did not fight and lost the Battle of Guandu in the world's pursuit of deer, and Zhen Mi also became a prisoner of the Cao family. Cao Cao has a "small hobby" that he is well known for, and it is reasonable to say that a beauty like Zhen Mi with her own "young woman" aura cannot escape the palm of his hand.
However, this time, someone took the lead, but he could only pinch his nose and admit it. This man was his second son Cao Pi.
Cao Cao started a business in his early years, lacked manpower, and was a real brother who fought tigers and fought as father and son soldiers. The eldest son, Cao Ang, was killed on the battlefield, but he still charged with his second son Cao Pi. When the city of Yicheng was destroyed, Cao Pi entered the city first, and he first saw Zhen Mi, a world-class beauty.
He was well aware of his father's hobbies, so he first took the initiative to force himself into the house. The anecdote about this father-son duo competing for a daughter is clearly recorded in the "New Language of the World". In this collection of novels, the author Liu Yiqing believes that Cao Cao did not establish Cao Pi as the son of the world for a long time, and there was also the reason why Cao Pi robbed Zhen Mi.
Cao Gong tu yi, ling summoned Zhen, left and right white five facial features in the lang will have gone, Cao Gong has "this year the thief is a slave" saying. Zi Huan could not be made crown prince for a long time, or for the sake of it. - "The World Speaks a New Language"
Of course, there are some allusions and anecdotes in "The New Language of the World" that are quite exaggerated, and Boss Cao is not a person who can't walk when he sees beauty. However, this can be seen in zhen mi's charm.
Second, What Zhen Mi was pregnant with may not be Cao Pi's flesh and bones, but the flesh and bones left by Yuan
Zhen Mi was originally Yuan Xi's daughter-in-law, who married into the Yuan family for many years, but did not see a record of a son and a half daughter in the history books. Some people say that it was deliberately erased by Cao's total killing, and some scholars believe that there must be cattiness in it.
Chen Shou, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and a historian of the Western Jin Dynasty, clearly expressed his doubts. He believes that Zhen Mi and Cao Pi's son Cao Rui died at the age of thirty-six, and the reverse deduction shows that he was born in the ninth year of Jian'an (204). However, in August of that year, Cao Jun only broke through the city of Ye, and it was very likely that Cao Rui was the flesh and bones left by Yuan.
To this end, he quoted in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms the dialogue between Emperor Wen of the Late Wei Dynasty and Cao Rui shooting the doe. The implication is that the flow is long.
At the end of the Wei Dynasty, it was said that Emperor Chang hunted from Emperor Wen and saw the doe. Emperor Wen shot the deer mother, causing the emperor to shoot the deer, but the emperor did not obey, saying: "Your Majesty has killed his mother, and the subject cannot bear to kill his son again." "Because of the sobs. Emperor Wen immediately released his bow and arrow, so as to deeply understand it, and established the intention.
However, there was no DNA in those years, and who cao rui was the son had become a mystery. Personally, I think that in Cao Pi's view, Cao Rui is his own flesh and blood, otherwise it would not have been passed on to him.
Third, what really made Cao Pi overturn the vinegar jar was his own brother
As far as his relationship with Yuan Xi is concerned, it is he who puts a green hat on Yuan Xi, not Yuan Xi who humiliates him. The man who really made Cao Pi overturn the vinegar jar and suspect Zhen Mi was actually his good brother Cao Zhi.
Cao Cao had many sons, and there were 25 in historical records, but only four of them were the most prominent, and the history books left their names. The eldest son, Cao Ang, was brave and good at fighting, and died to save Cao Cao during Zhang Xiu's rebellion.
The youngest son, Cao Chong, was gifted and intelligent, and left an allusion to the scale elephant at the age of 5.6, but he fell ill and died at the age of thirteen. Cao Cao liked this son very much, and even had the idea of passing the throne to him.
After Cao Chong's death, Cao Cao once said to Cao Pi: "Cao Chong's death is my misfortune, but it is your great fortune." "There are two more, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
Compared with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, cao pi and cao zhi actually have their own advantages. In terms of talent, Cao Pi is slightly inferior, but the gap is not as large as everyone thinks. As one of the "Three Caos of Jian'an", Cao Pi's literary achievements are not low.
Cao Pi's poetry has a variety of forms, and the five or seven words are long, the language is popular, and has the spirit of folk songs; the hand rules are euphemistic and meticulous, and the loops are repeated, which is a master of describing the love between men and women and the theme of wandering women. Especially when he was not yet the Prince of Wei, he was like glue like lacquer with Zhen Mi, and his poetry was delicate and clear, and he was entangled with compassion.
Excerpt from "Yan Song Xing" - Cao Pi
The autumn wind is cold, the grass and trees are shaken and dewy, and the flock of swallows resigns to Yan Nanxiang.
Nian Junke wandered and broke his intestines, and he thought of returning to his hometown, what is drowning and sending others?
The concubines guarded the empty house, worried that Sijun did not dare to forget, and did not feel that the tears stained their clothes.
Later, the reason why the literati thought that he was inferior to Cao Zhi a lot was that he used ordinary and rude words, without Cao Zhi's flowery words and full of spirit. For example, the Southern Dynasty literary critic Zhong Rong commented in the "Poetry" that Cao Pi's poems were "contemptuous and straight as even words", only medium-quality, while Cao Zhi was a superior product, "the bones are extremely high, and the words are gorgeous".
Talent is a little worse, but the strategy and pattern are undoubtedly superior to Cao Pi. In the dispute with Cao Zhi's heir, he was cautious in his words and deeds, and took the initiative to make meritorious contributions; while Cao Zhi let loose the skeleton and drunkenly rode into the city gate. In the end, Cao Pi won.
However, it is because Cao Zhi is debauched and loves freedom, so he is more liked by women. Zhen Mi loved to read when she was a child, and when she was teased by her brother and wanted to be a female doctor, she could also refute it with words, which showed that she was a talented person who loved talent. Such a woman, it is difficult to guarantee that something will happen to Cao Zhi.
"Book of Wei": Nine years old, Xishu, according to the characters, the number is written by the brothers, and the brothers say later: "Ru is a female worker." Using books as a learning, as a female doctor evil? Later, he replied, "The virtuous daughters of the ancients have not failed to learn from the successes or failures of their previous lives, and they have thought that they have commanded themselves." I don't know the book, why see it? ”
Fourth, the gossip story of Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi
Historical records before the Tang Dynasty do not record any cattiness about Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi, but it changed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Southern Dynasty "Selected Writings of Zhao Ming" records a gossip story called "Concubine Mi Stays Pillow".
It is said that Cao Zhi already has a secret affection for Zhen Mi, and this matter was discovered by Cao Pi and remembered in his heart. After he gave Zhen Mi death, he did not know what kind of psychology he had, but he actually gave The golden pillow that Zhen Mi slept on before he died to Cao Zhi.
When Cao Zhi passed by Luoshui with a pillow, he dreamed of Zhen Mi. In the dream, there was a good cloud and rain, and after Cao Zhi woke up, he wrote the famous article "Feeling Zhen Fu" through the ages.
After the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne for eight years, he felt that the ugliness of the family could not be publicized, so in order to avoid his mother's name, he changed it to "Luoshen Endowment". Since then, Zhen Mi has also become the embodiment of Luoshen.
Many scholars in later generations believe that this story is pure nonsense, and the Tang people just love gossip and rumors. But is this really the case? I felt that there was no wind or waves, even if Zhen Mi and Cao Zhi really didn't have anything, there must have been something that made Cao Pi suspicious of this careful eye.
Zhen Mi had been separated from Cao Pi for a long time before she was given death. Cao Pi took Guo Gui concubine and Li and Yin to Luoyang, two beauties, to spend the day and wine, but left Zhen Mi in her hometown of Yecheng. Zhen Mi wrote a poem "Tang Shangxing" in a grudge.
Pu Sheng I am in the pool, its leaves are far away. He can do benevolence and righteousness, and Mo Ruo's concubine knows herself.
The mouths of the people are shoveled with gold, and the king is separated. When Nian Jun came to me, he was always sad and miserable.
Among them, the sentence "Everyone shovels gold and makes Junsheng separate" points out the reason why Zhen Mi was snubbed.
It should be known that in the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition against Sun Quan, Cao Pi took a pair of children Cao Rui and Princess Dongxiang to follow. Zhen Mi stayed in Yecheng due to illness, and Cao Zhi also stayed in Yecheng.
A year later, the army returned, but the crowd saw that Zhen Mi's face was better than before, and asked in surprise: "You and the two children have been separated for so long, don't you miss the disease, how can your face be better?" ”
Zhen Mi explained, "Cao Rui and Princess Dongxiang have both Lady Bian to take care of him, and I have nothing to worry about. ”
The Book of Wei comments on this matter as follows: "The Later Sages held themselves in this way with courtesy. "But we might as well think from Cao Pi's point of view: You said that you don't have the pain of lovesickness for your children because someone takes care of you, and I don't have the pain of lovesickness for my husband, but I am radiant, is it also because someone else takes care of me?"
Many scholars in later generations do not believe that Cao Zhi will like Zhen Mi There is also a point, that is, Zhen Mi was 23 years old when she married into the Cao family, and Cao Zhi was only 13 years old, and it was impossible to like a woman 10 years older than her own age. However, at that time, Cao Pi was only 18 years old, and Zhen Mi was also 5 years older.
It can be seen that some of the habits of the Old Cao family are inherited. Cao Pi thought of Cao Cao and himself, could he trust Cao Zhi?
Fifth, Queen Guo, who is more ruthless than Zhen Huan, became the last straw that overwhelmed Zhen Mi
The last straw that overwhelmed Zhen Mi was Queen Guo, who was even more ruthless than Zhen Huan.
Queen Guo is a very powerful woman, and she is simply the protagonist of the big female protagonist. She was born into a famous family, but she lost her parents very early, wandered in the scourge of war, and was finally selected by Cao Pi. She offered advice when Cao Pi was vying for favors and concubines, and was an important contributor to Cao Pi's ascension to the throne.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Vol. 5: "After that, there are wisdom numbers, and there are contributions from time to time." Emperor Wen was made an heir, and later had a plot. ”
It's just that Queen Guo has a great weakness, that is, she has no heirs. She can only choose a prince to invest like Zhen Huan. And this person is Cao Rui. However, Cao Rui also has a biological mother, Zhen Mi. Therefore, Zhen Mi became a stumbling block for her. Otherwise, she had already become the head of the Six Palaces, so why blow pillow wind to kill Zhen Mi, who had already been snubbed.
Book of Wei: "In the beginning, Guo Hou was childless, and the emperor made his mother raise Wang Rui of Pingyuan; Lady Zhen, the mother of The Three Mothers, was cursed, so she was not built as an heir." After the fact, I am very careful, and I love it later. ”
Of course, in the end, Queen Guo's ending was not good. Historical records such as "Wei Luo" and "Han Jin Spring and Autumn" record that after the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui ascended the throne, he could not let go of her forcing her to kill her birth mother, and repeatedly forced her, causing Queen Guo to collapse and die violently. After his death, he was also ordered by Emperor Wei Ming to "be covered with hair and covered with chaff", all like the story of Zhen Hou.
epilogue
Speaking of this, we can clearly conclude four reasons why Cao Pi gave Death to Zhen Mi:
1. Suspect that Cao Rui is not his son;
2. Suspect that Zhen Mi has an affair with Cao Zhi and wear a green hat for herself;
3. Cao Pi himself is suspicious and suspicious, and he turns his face and does not recognize people when he sees different thoughts;
4. For the sake of her future power, Queen Guo intervened to kill Zhen Mi.
As for Cao Pi's death of Zhen Mi is not enough, but also "covered with hair, to plug the mouth with chaff", we can also speculate the answer. Obviously, the above four reasons Cao Pi himself was clear, and he knew that he might have killed by mistake. In order that the ancestors or ghosts and gods could not recognize Zhen Mi after Zhen Mi's death, and Zhen Mi could not dictate the grievances, Cao Pi deliberately did it.
Finally, Ye Zi here warns many female readers not to fall in love with the suspicious scumbag. Otherwise, meeting Cao Pi or An Jiahe (the male protagonist of "Don't Talk to Strangers"), it is really a torture.
