What is the situation if a woman has "indescribable" beauty?
"Its shape is also like a frightening, graceful like a 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. Looking at it from afar, if the sun rises in the morning light, if it is forced to look at it, it will scorch like a wave of dew..."
To this extent, why is it "indescribable"?
For once it is said, some people will feel that this beauty is false, and this posture should only be in heaven.
In Cao Zhi's "Roselle Endowment", there is such a beautiful and thrilling goddess.
"Roselle Endowment" is an outstanding work in Cao Zhicifu, the author uses romantic techniques to describe the true love between man and god through the dream realm, but in the end, because the "special way of man and god" can not be combined and sadly separated.
In the end, the prototype in his poem is probably Zhen Mi, the first beauty of Wei and Jin.
Unfortunately, the title "First Beauty" carries a magic in itself. Previously, a fictional beauty who had this honor, Sable Cicada, was given a twisted and tragic fate by the author Luo Guanzhong.
Therefore, Zhen Mi's life was full of wind and rain.
In January 183, Shangqin ordered Zhen Yi to be blessed with a noble daughter. Zhen Mi in the swaddling has begun to take on a beautiful billet, so Zhen Yi named her daughter Zhen Mi, the word Chang'e. When naming his daughter, he used the name of the Heavenly Palace Fairy as his character, and Zhen Yi was also the first person in the past.
Behind the word "Chang'e", there is also a legend.
It is said that when Zhen Mi was just born, the nurse suddenly saw the white-clothed fairy above the nine heavens fluttering and falling, and covered the baby in the swaddling baby with a jade coat. The Zhen family immediately felt that this woman was extraordinary, so they invited Liu Liang, a xiangshi, to see the child. When Liu Liang saw it, he admired that this woman would become a noble person in the future.
In that era, it was not uncommon for Xiangshi to say auspicious words to please a lottery head, but Zhen Mi was a real nobleman. Even her specialness has been revealed in childhood.
One day, a group of circus teams came to the city, and the sons and nephews of the Zhen family went out to watch the liveliness, but Zhen Mi still stayed at home to study. She was literate at the age of three, her memory was different from ordinary people, and at the age of five she could recite poems against people.
Her siblings who grew up with her were under great pressure and advised her: "Girls in the family should learn female embroidery, what is the use of reading so many books?" ”
Zhen Mi responded: "It is said that girls should be virtuous and virtuous, but if I don't read books, how can I emulate the ancients?" ”
Children who were about the same age as her could not understand the books that Zhen Mi had read, which changed her state of mind every moment, so that she gradually became otherworldly and became a different talented woman.
The second son of the Zhen family died young, and his wife lived in a high-gate household and suffered from the cold eyes of her mother-in-law. Zhen Mi saw that her mother was so harsh on her sister-in-law, and persuaded her mother not to do this, but to treat her sister-in-law as her own daughter and experience the difficulties of her widow.
These words came from the mouth of the young Zhen Mi, and they were extremely infectious. The attitude of the Zhen family's main mother towards her daughter-in-law has improved, the family is harmonious and harmonious, and the feelings have become more and more intimate.
When Zhen Mi was a teenager, the world was in chaos, and there were disaster victims and princes who rose up everywhere. Zhen Mi's hometown broke out of drought, and there was no harvest of grain in the farmland, but the Zhen family hoarded a lot of old grain.
Therefore, Zhen Mi took the initiative to persuade her parents to give grain to the victims: "In this world, if you buy more treasures in chaos, you are not guilty, and you are guilty of your sins." And the left and right are hungry, it is better to give Gu Zhen to the relatives and neighbors, and widely favor it. ”
During the years of famine, why did the people cause chaos? It's not because you can't eat enough. The Zhen family opened a warehouse to release grain to help the victims of the disaster and give favors to the local people, so Shangqin did not kill officials and rebel.
Who would have thought that Zhen Mi, a teenager, had already lived more thoroughly than adults.
When talking about the Three Kingdoms era, people always think of the iron horse and the conspiracy. In the man's year, the fate of the beauty can be imagined.
One of the four famous beauties, the mink cicada, may not really have its own person in history. Otherwise, there would not have been a proverb at that time that "Jiangnan has erqiao, Hebei Zhen Mi is pretty".
Zhen Mi's beauty is known as she ages. In addition, the local legend of Zhen Mi in Shangqin was once rumored to be a fairy under the mortals, and Zhen Mi once became the object of pursuit of the children of the rich people everywhere.
In the Hebei region, whose power can be stronger than Yuan Shao?
In the competition of various famous and prestigious families, Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi defeated other love enemies with his unparalleled wealth and married Zhen Mi back home. When Zhen Mi first married, Yuan Shao sat in Qingzhou, Hezhou, and Jizhou, and was the most promising overlord in the chaotic world. However, things were uncertain, and a battle of Guandu crushed Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao's main army completely annihilated Yuan's army, and Yuan Shao was depressed, and the Yuan family was defeated.
In 204 AD, Cao Cao's army marched into Yecheng. Before the siege of the city, Cao Cheng xiang had already instructed his generals not to hurt the female relatives of the Yuan family. Cao Cao was a lustful person, and he had long heard of Zhen Mi's beauty and wanted to kiss Fang Ze. Therefore, before capturing Yecheng, Cao Cao had already planned to build Tongquetai in Yicheng and left a place for Zhen Mi.
However, Cao Cao's wishful thinking did not start, and before he could take Zhen Mi into the harem, he was blocked by the road tiger. With Cao Cao's nature, how could he spare the love enemy of love with a horizontal knife? But he had to swallow this breath, because it was cao pi, the son of his family, who snatched the love of the horizontal knife.
Zhengshi's description of Lady Zhen's life is only a few words, but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms contains many stories about Zhen Mi. In the thirty-third time of the novel, the first meeting between Cao Pi and Zhen Mi is described as follows:
As soon as Cao Pi entered the backyard of yuan mansion, he saw two women in tattered clothes crying, and when he asked, he knew that it was Yuan Shao's wife and Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Mi. However, when Zhen Mi, who was full of dirt, raised her head, Cao Pi was stunned in an instant, saying: "This woman really has the appearance of flowers and moons, ice muscles and jade bones, and it is indeed the red color of the country." ”
Cao Pi was Cao Cao's son, so he naturally hunted countless people. But this veteran of the love scene instantly broke down when he saw Zhen Mi and fell under her pomegranate skirt. Cao Pi may not know the mind of the old father, but he still dares to rebel against the suspicious old father to bring Zhen Mi into the back house, which shows how attractive Zhen Mi is.
In the early days, Cao Pi was extremely fond of Zhen Mi, and the two soon had a love crystallization, and Cao Rui and Princess Dongxiang were Zhen Mi's children for Cao Pi. Unlike daiji and praisegirls, Zhen Mi had never done anything to seduce the king. When Cao Pi issued his wife Ren shi for her expulsion, Zhen Mi repeatedly stepped forward to stop her and was willing to submit to the concubine room.
In addition, she got along well with Cao Cao's wife and was very filial to her mother-in-law. Zhen Mi's reputation in the Cao family was accumulated by relying on female morality. In 208, Cao Cao's beloved son Cao Chong died, and Cao Cao posthumously honored him as a knight lieutenant, and hired the deceased daughter of the Zhen family as a concubine, and married and buried with Cao Chong, succeeding Cao Chong's son Cao Chun as a queen.
In 220 AD, Cao Cao knitted a large net for his descendants Luo, and then left with peace of mind. After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei, he naturally became emperor in November of the same year and created the Wei dynasty. Since he had become the emperor, he naturally wanted to be the lord of the harem. When choosing an empress, Cao Pi hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to choose Zhen Mi or Guo Guifei.
Cao Pi's favorite is presumably Zhen Mi. However, for the career, Queen Guo is undoubtedly more valuable. The reason why Cao Pi was able to defeat many brothers and seize the throne was inseparable from Queen Guo's advice. Relying on Queen Guo's political acumen alone, Cao Pi was inseparable from her. It is not so much that Queen Guo is a companion, but rather that she is a counselor raised by Cao Pi.
The plots in the harem are often dangerous.
Queen Guo not only applied her ingenuity to help her husband's career, but also used this to compete for the throne of the harem. Queen Guo always mentioned Zhen Mi consciously or unconsciously in front of Cao Pi, and instigated other palace concubines to say bad things about her. There are many things about the three of them becoming tigers, and over time, Cao Pi has a prejudice against Zhen Mi.
When Cao Pi moved the capital to Luoyang, Empress Guo was taken with him, while Zhen Mi was left at Yecheng. Among them, what kind of conspiracy Queen Guo carried out, we do not know.
In short, she succeeded, Zhen Mi failed.
Zhen Mi was an ice and snow smart woman, and in this case, she immediately guessed that Cao Pi's heart no longer belonged to her. Desperate, she wrote a poem "Tang Shangxing", hoping to save Cao Pi's heart:
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.
I want to see the color of the king, and I feel sad and sad. Nian Jun is often miserable and cannot sleep at night.
Why not give up the love of the donor? Don't give up onions and herbs with fish and meat?
Don't give up Suga and Kushi? Out is also full of pain, and in is also full of sorrow.
There are many sad winds on the border land, and the trees are full of wind! From the king to the unique pleasure, prolong the life of thousands of autumns.
This song "Tang Shangxing" belongs to the "Xianghe Song Qing Tune", which expresses the deep pain of the gap with her husband due to rumors with a decisive brushstroke, and remembers the good old days. Different from the sorrow of other poems of grievance, the whole work reveals a rare sense of self-esteem in the clouds, and Wang Rui also said in "Burning Hub" that it is called "Hard Work on the Pond", and the phrase "from the king's solo happiness, prolonging the years and autumns" at the end of the commentary can be called wonderful, "In the midst of sorrow and sorrow, there is a deep posture, and the style is extraordinary." Xu Zhenqing of the Ming Dynasty lamented this poem in the "Record of Tan Yi": "Poetry cannot be flawed, and between the clumsiness of work, there are few and far between, and it is extremely special." ”
Although Zhen Mi hated Queen Guo, she did not do anything to compete for favors. She knew the righteousness of things, so she just wrote a poem to Cao Pi and pinned her sorrows and thoughts on the text.
However, Zhen Mi did not expect that when this poem was sent to Cao Pi, instead of deeply touching Cao Pi, it made him very angry and immediately gave Zhen Mi the death penalty.
In June 221 (the second year of the Huang Dynasty), Cao Pi sent emissaries to put Zhen shi to death and bury him in Yecheng.
Thirty-eight-year-old Zhen Mi inexplicably died in Cao Pi's nameless fire. When she was buried, her mouth was stuffed with chaff. It is said that filling the mouth of the deceased with rice bran will make him have nowhere to seek redress on the Huangquan Road.
This burial style is the handwriting of Queen Guo.
It turned out that she personally presented Zhen Mi's letter to Cao Pi to the emperor and told him that it was Zhen Mi's love letter to Cao Zhi. Cao Pi was furious and forced Cao Zhi to take seven steps into a poem:
Boiled beans are held as a soup, and wet as juice.
The beans burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle.
Born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry?
The poem was first recorded in the "New Sayings of the World", and only six sentences were later circulated, probably because it is difficult to determine whether it really came from Cao Zhi's hand during the process of dissemination. However, the author of the "World Speaks New Language" did not go far to Cao Wei's world, and there is naturally a certain basis for the description, and according to the "World Speaking New Language" quoted in the "Wei Zhi", It is also said that Cao Zhi "made a statement as a theory, and wrote a chapter under the pen", Cao Cao once tried to use "Dengtong Quetai Fu", and the zhiyuan pen was established, and it was remarkable, so it was completely possible for Cao Zhi to make such a good poem within seven steps.
It is said that in the year of Zhen Hou's death, Cao Zhi went to Luoyang to see his brother. Empress Zhen's crown prince Cao Rui accompanied the emperor to dinner. Cao Zhi looked at his nephew and remembered Zhen Hou's death, and his heart was full of bitterness. After the meal, Cao Pi gave Empress Zhen's relic, the jade skeleton gold belt pillow, to Cao Zhi. When Cao Zhi saw things and thought about people, when he returned to the fiefdom, he stayed in the boat overnight, and in a trance, he saw Concubine Zhen Lingbo coming from the wind, and Cao Zhi woke up in shock, which turned out to be a dream of Nan Ke. Back in Juancheng, Cao Zhi's mind was still churning with the scene of his encounter with Zhen Houluoshui, so Wen Si stirred and wrote a "Sense of Zhen Fu".
So, between Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi, is there selfless affection?
The answer is obvious.
In 221, Cao Pi was thirty-four years old, Zhen Mi was thirty-eight, and Cao Zhi was just twenty-nine years old.
Between Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi, the difference is nine years.
The so-called "female junior holding a golden brick" joke was not established at that time, and the age gap of nine years old can basically conclude that there is no selflessness between the two. According to historical records, Lady Zhen was a gentle personality and a person who knew the overall situation. The reason why Zhen Mi is well-known in the harem is because of her virtuousness. Cao Zhi is a conservative talent, not a rebellious person, and it is impossible to come with his sister-in-law.
The Cao Wei period was different from the two Jin Dynasties, the literati had not yet been poisoned by the "Five Stones Scatter", and the etiquette was strict, so there could not be any intersection between the two. The reason why Cao Zhi wrote "LuoshenFu" must be that he admired Zhen Mi, which is beyond doubt. But this is only simple admiration, nothing more, which may be mixed with pity for the situation of the sister-in-law, but this love is not an act of transgression.
Cao Zhi is Cao Pi's younger brother, Zhen Mi is Cao Pi's lover, both of them are the closest people in Cao Pi's life, however, they have been coldly treated and misunderstood by their relatives, perhaps it is precisely because of this feeling of pity for the same disease that Cao Zhi wrote Zhen Mi as Roselle and let her live in the imaginary world of the literati.
Perhaps, Zhen Mi is really a fairy who has fallen for nine days, and such a person living in the secular world is itself an unfortunate thing. In 226, Zhen's son Cao Rui of Wei ascended the throne and posthumously honored Zhen as Empress Wenzhao. He also ordered his uncle to build a temple for his mother Zhen in the back garden of his uncle's house, and this alley was named "Weiyang Li" to express his thoughts on his mother.
"Weiyang" is from the Book of Poetry and Qin Feng:
I sent my uncle to Weiyang.
Why give it away? Road cars by yellow.
I send my uncle, and I think about it.
Why give it away? Qiong Zhen Yu Pei.
When Qin Kang was crown prince, he gave the Duke wen of Jin to Wei Zhiyang;
When I miss my mother, I see my uncle, like a mother.
Moreover, it is rumored that the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, in order to avoid his mother's name, changed the "Sense Zhen Fu" to "Luoshen Fu". Due to the influence of this endowment, coupled with the fact that people were touched by the tragedy of Cao Zhi's love affair with Zhen, it was said that Zhen Hou was identified as Luoshen.
