''
Like a frightening, graceful dragon. Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Hua Mao Chun Song. The hair is like a light cloud covering the moon, and the fluttering is like the snow returning to the wind.
This is a good sentence written by the famous literary scholar Cao Zhi in his famous work "Roselle". Some people believe that the reason why Cao Zhi created this lyric is to express his admiration for Zhen Mi, the wife of his brother Cao Pi, and the "Luoshen" he describes in the song is Zhen Mi. Even, some people think that the relationship between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers is not harmonious, because they both like Zhen Mi.
And who is Zhen Mi? How beautiful is it?
Zhen Mi, also known as Zhen Ji, was originally the wife of Yuan Xi, the second son of the great warlord Yuan Shao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After yuan shao's defeat, Cao Pi, as the victor, took Zhen Mi into his arms and made him a concubine. As a woman, Zhen Mi's posture fell into the country and surprised a large piece. She also had good character and good tutoring, and was praised by her quasi-"mother-in-law", Empress Bian, Cao Pi's mother.
Since Zhen Mi was a stunning beauty, virtuous, and did not have a little girl's small belly and chicken intestines, why did Cao Pi cruelly give her to death?
In the fifth year of Han Guanghe (183), Zhen Mi was born in the Zhongshan kingdom of Wuji (in present-day Wuji County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province). Looking back in time, Zhen Ji's ancestor, Zhen Handan, was the son-in-law of Kong Guang, a descendant of Confucius. Because of its noble birth, the Wuji Zhen clan has enjoyed the two thousand stones of Feng Lu for generations, and is a rare famous and prestigious family in the local area. In Zhen Mi's generation, her father Zhen Yi was the county commander of Shangcai County, with three boys and five daughters, and Zhen Mi was the youngest daughter.
When she was a child, Zhen Mi was smart and sensible. When her father died, three-year-old Zhen Mi wept bitterly, it was very touching. At the age of eight, she learned that women should be dignified and decent, and not excited about riding acrobatics on the street. She loves to learn and often reads and learns. In the face of the brothers' laughter, Zhen Mi replied: ''
The virtuous women who have heard of the ancients have not learned the successes or failures of their previous lives, and they think that they are admonitions. I don't know the book, why see it?
Born in the chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty, Zhen Mi urged her family to use all the family wealth to help the people, which won the praise and gratitude of the people, and also saved the Zhen family from being looted by bandits. At the age of fourteen, Zhen Mi's brother died, leaving a widow. Although Zhen Mi is young, she is ''
The widow is humble and respectful, and the work is done, and the children are raised, and the love is very strong.
Because Zhen Mi is virtuous and virtuous, the people in the eight neighboring townships have praised her. I heard that the Zhen family had a woman who knew a lot of etiquette, and Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, came to propose to him, and Zhen Mi married her second son Yuan Xi.
In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Pi led his army into Yuan Shao's stronghold of Yicheng, marrying Zhen Mi, who had no time to escape. According to the Wei Luo, the beautiful and sensible Zhen Mi was favored by Cao Pi, "'Good at room for several years'". This should be placed on other women, I am afraid that the chin will be raised to the sky, and Zhen Mi is not arrogant and proud, and has a broad heart. The Book of Wei records that Zhen Mi was favored alone, but ''
The harem has a favor to exhort it, and its unloved one comforts it.
For the favored concubines, Zhen Mi not only did not envy, but encouraged and taught them to better share the worries of Cao Pi; for the unfavored concubines, Zhen Mi comforted and enlightened them so that they would not be sad and depressed. She even advised Cao Pi to "seek Shuyuan widely and succeed her to Feng", that is, to find more concubines and have more children.
For Cao Pi's mother, Bian Shi, Zhen Mi was very filial, and was particularly concerned about her physical condition, and others were deeply moved, and Bian Shi praised her even more: "This true filial piety is also." ''
From this point of view, Zhen Mi is completely Cao Pi's Xiannai assistant, and is the "Dinghai God Needle" in his harem.
In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Cao died, and Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei. A few months later, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to ascend the throne, and he himself ascended the throne to establish the Wei Dynasty, and changed the yuan to Huang Chu.
However, soon after ascending the throne, Cao Pi ordered the execution of his virtuous wife Zhen Mi, who had accompanied him for many years.
Originally, after Emperor Xian of Han ascended the throne, he was given the title of Duke of Shanyang. In order to protect himself, he dedicated his two daughters to Cao Pi. With Xin Huan, Cao Pi slowly distanced himself from Zhen Mi, who was nearly forty years old. Coupled with the flattery of Guo Hou, Li, and Yin, Zhen Mi was completely placed behind Cao Pi.'
Zhen Mi's heart was full of loss and emptiness, and she couldn't help but grumble. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms records: ''
After the more frustrated, there are complaints. The emperor was furious, and in June of the second year, he sent an envoy to die and be buried in Yi.
Because of a few complaints and death, would Cao Pi completely ignore the years of love? The Zizhi Tongjian has a different record of this. ''
And that is, the emperor's throne, Anping Guo Gui's concubine was favored, and Lady Zhen was not allowed to see it. Frustrated, complaining. Guo Gui's concubines were furious, and the emperor was furious.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he favored Guo Guifei and left Zhen Mi directly in Yecheng, simply not letting her meet. Zhen Mi's complaints reached Guo Gui's ears, and she kept blowing pillow wind to Cao Pi and saying bad things about Zhen Mi. Cao Pi was angry and harmed Zhen Mi.
Although there have always been many different accounts of the truth of Zhen Mi's death. However, Guo Guifei's slanderous framing of Zhen Mi in order to compete for favors should be the most reasonable and well-founded explanation.
Zhen Mi is a virtuous, beautiful woman, and her tragic ending, as the great poet Bai Juyi said, "Poor red face is always short-lived, and the most ruthless imperial family." ''
