Lady Ding was Cao Cao's original wife, and Cao Cao also had a Lady Liu, who gave birth to her eldest son, Cao Ang, and Princess Qinghe. After Lady Liu's death, Cao Ang was raised by Lady Ding, who regarded Cao Ang as her own son.
As we all know, when Cao Cao blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it can be said that the power of the world was tilted. He had long had the idea of establishing himself on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and once he claimed to be emperor himself, then Lady Ding would naturally be the empress. Since her husband may become emperor in the future, why did Lady Ding choose to leave him and wait impatiently to become empress?
As mentioned earlier, Cao Ang was not born to Lady Ding, but Lady Ding regarded him as her own son. And the reason why she chose to leave Cao Cao was also out of love for Cao Ang.
Cao Cao loved this eldest son very much, and his birth mother died early, which made Cao Cao think that he should cultivate his son well and care more about him. Therefore, under the cultivation of Cao Cao, Cao Ang became a person with excellent character and learning, and at the same time possessed a good martial art.
Cao Ang often followed his father in battle and made many military achievements, which made Cao Cao pay more attention to him and even regard him as his heir. However, due to the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao forcibly robbed Zhang Ji's widow, Zhang Ji's younger brother Zhang Xiu, in order to avenge his brother and sister-in-law, so he pretended to surrender to Cao Cao.
After Zhang Xiu pretended to surrender, he rebelled within Cao Cao's army, which brought a lot of blows to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was defenseless in advance, and as a result, even his mount was shot to death. At the critical moment, Cao Ang gave his mount to his father, while covering his father's retreat.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ang died on the battlefield.
When she learned of the death of her adopted son, Lady Ding was so sad that she insisted that Cao Cao had killed her son, and often shouted angrily to Cao Cao: "Kill my son, and don't think about it again!" Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Lady Ding's behavior, so he sent her back to her mother's house, hoping to punish Lady Ding.
Who knew that as soon as Lady Ding returned to her mother's house, she had an iron heart and did not have a relationship with Cao Cao. After a while, Cao Cao's anger faded, so he personally went to pick up Lady Ding.
When Cao Cao saw Lady Ding, the other party was weaving cloth, and he patted Her Lady's back with his hand and said, "Gu I have returned to the house!" Lady Dante did not respond, and Cao Cao asked a few more questions, but still there was no reply. When Cao Cao saw that Madame was so determined, he no longer forced her, and before leaving, he said again: "It's a real trick." ”
In this way, Cao Cao divorced Lady Ding, and he also asked Lady Ding's family to remarry her, but the Ding family did not dare to do so. From Cao Cao's move, it can be seen that he has done his best to be kind to Lady Ding, and at the same time, there is still an apology in his heart.
After divorcing Lady Ding, Cao Cao straightened Out Lady Bian. Before Mrs. Ding left that year, she was very bad to Mrs. Bian and her children. However, after Lady Bian was straightened out, she did not care about the previous suspicions, often sent people to send things to Lady Ding, and persuaded her to come back, still letting her take the right position and take the concubine position herself.
Lady Ding was ashamed of this, so she did not accede to Lady Bian's request. Later, Lady Ding died in her hometown, and Lady Bian asked Cao Cao to bury her, so Lady Ding was buried in xuchengnan.
Although Cao Ang died on the battlefield in order to save Cao Cao, this did not blame Cao Cao. On the contrary, Cao Ang will get a title of loyalty and filial piety because of this, and will be praised by future generations. As Cao Ang's adoptive mother, Lady Ding should be proud, so why should she leave Cao Cao?
The reason why there is such an ending is related to The character of Mrs. Ding. Lady Ding did not have any insight, she did not understand that death was heavier than Taishan, only that Cao Ang died to save Cao Cao, that is, he was killed by Cao Cao. And her quarrel with Cao Cao also means that she will not be a person, which can be seen from her attitude towards Lady Bian.
Coupled with Lady Ding as Cao Cao's original match, she relied on Cao Ang as an adopted son, and now that her son is dead, her own patron is gone. Considering these aspects, Lady Ding was emotionally out of control, repeatedly quarreling in front of Cao Cao, and even divorced Cao Cao in a fit of anger.
