As we all know, Cao Cao blackmailed the Heavenly Son to order the princes, Cao Cao controlled the Han Xiandi, and even the living of the Han Xiandi had to be controlled, so he married his daughter to the Han Xiandi, marrying one daughter is not enough, and all three daughters are married to the Han Xiandi, why is this?
The "garment edict" incident caused by the son of heaven
Cao Cao held tianzi hostage, and his own strength was enhanced, and he gradually became the largest force in the north, but Emperor Xiandi of Han was in Cao Cao's hands, and like being held hostage by Dong Zhuo, he still had no personal freedom and great power to govern, so there was a "belt edict" incident.
In the harem of Emperor Xian of Han, there were two more powerful women, one was Fu Shou, the empress of Emperor Xian of Han, and the other was Dong Guiren, the daughter of the general Dong Cheng, and Cao Cao paid great attention to the surveillance of Emperor Xian of Han, but this place in the harem was a place that Cao Cao could not touch, and the problem was here.
Emperor Xian of Han consulted with Dong Guiren to get rid of Cao Cao, and finally decided that Dong Cheng, the head of state, would go and unite with the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, mobilize forces to get rid of Cao Cao, and did not want anyone to leak secrets, resulting in the matter being exposed, Dong Cheng and many conspiratorial ministers were killed, Dong Guiren was pregnant, Cao Cao also wanted to kill her, Emperor Xian of Han interceded for this, but Cao Cao insisted on killing Dong Guiren.
This matter, for another woman in the harem is a relatively big blow, that is, Empress Fu, Empress Fu saw such a situation, the heart is also afraid, after all, she is in the harem, maybe when, she will also be implicated, so she wrote a letter to her father Fu Quan, wanting to let his father get rid of Cao Cao, although Fu Quan is an auxiliary general, but he thinks that the power at this time is completely in Cao Cao's hands, so he does not dare to move.
In fact, the "clothes belt edict" incident made Cao Cao aware of the hidden dangers of the harem of the Han Xian Emperor, which is why after the life of the Han Xian Emperor was stable, the concubines in the harem did not increase the follow-up reason, at this time there were only two concubines in the harem of the Han Xian Emperor and Song Guiren, and the life of the Song Gui was not very high, nor would it set off any waves, and the only thing that Cao Cao could worry about was Empress Fu.
Empress Fu died, and Cao Cao married a daughter
At the time of the "Yi Belt Edict" incident, Cao Cao's eldest daughter was only five years old, and there was really no way to insert herself into the harem of Emperor Xian of Han, and after this incident, Empress Fu did not move, and Cao Cao did not target Emperor Xian's harem again.
In the fourteenth year of Jian'an (210), Fu Quan died, a big patron of the Fu family was gone, and cao Cao at this time was also the chancellor of the Han Dynasty, with a high position of authority, but there were ma teng, Han Sui and other people in the northwest region, which was a big problem in Cao Cao's heart, and there was no time to pay attention to the harem of the Han Xian Emperor.
By the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Emperor Xian of Han crowned Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, and Cao Cao, who had freed his hand, decided to arrange for his daughters to enter the palace to control the harem of Emperor Xian of Han, and Cao Cao had three daughters at this time who had reached marriageable age, so he arranged all three of his daughters to the palace, after which Cao Cao could rest assured.
Not long after, Empress Fu's previous letter to her father was leaked, and Cao Cao was furious and forced Emperor Xian of Han to abolish Empress Fu and have her lead troops to arrest Empress Fu, who was imprisoned to death, and her two sons were poisoned by Cao Cao. The helpless Emperor Xian of Han could only say, "Is there such a thing in the world?" "to express your powerlessness.
After Empress Fu's death, Cao Cao justifiably crowned his eldest daughter Cao Jie as empress, at this time in the harem, it was entirely the old Cao family that had the final say, he himself was already the head of the state, a very popular subject, the most important thing was that the children born after the combination of Emperor Han Xian and his daughter had the blood of the Cao family, even if he was not called emperor, after the death of Emperor Han Xian, the throne was still inherited by his grandson, which was also a plan for the future of the Cao clan, which achieved Cao Cao's purpose.
Political marriage, no kinship
In fact, Cao Cao's original plan was to send all his daughters into the palace, the first three daughters sent to the palace were older, and the young daughters wanted to stay in the feudal kingdom temporarily, and then send them to the palace when they reached the marriageable age, as Cao Cao's power grew larger and larger, he had become the King of Wei, Cao Cao did not have to worry about Emperor Han Xian, and there were also three daughters in the harem of Emperor Han Xian, and there was no need to send the rest of his daughters to the palace, so he chose to marry with other ministers.
Cao Cao originally wanted his daughter to be able to control Emperor Xian of Han in the harem, but after all, Emperor Xian of Han was also his husband, and after a long time, the daughters began to become towards their husbands, but at this time, Emperor Xian of Han no longer had any ministers loyal to the Han room, and there was no threat to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao no longer cared whether his daughter was toward him.
Summary: Cao Cao married his daughter to Emperor Xian of Han, completely in order to restrain Emperor Xiandi of Han, control the last "free land" of Emperor Xiandi of Han, so as to fully control Emperor Xiandi of Han, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi wanted to let Emperor Xian of Han ascend to the throne, Empress Cao scolded her brother, and even said: "God has eyes, never let you last!" "Cao Pi was also completely recruited, and really died before he was emperor for a few years.
After the Zen throne, Emperor Xian of Han was given the title of Duke of Shanyang, went to the fief with Empress Cao, and had a dull life, and there are still many stories of Emperor Xiandi of Han and Empress Cao in Shanyang District of Jiaozuo City (Shanyang County, a fief of Emperor Xian of Han).
