Preface
In the long history of history, there have been many individuals who have become legends because of their amazing counterattacks. Among them, Mrs. Bian's legendary experience is even more eye-catching. She was originally a singer of Qinglou, but she emerged in the early days of Cao Wei's founding of the country, and eventually became the queen mother and enjoyed Cao Cao's favor. This amazing counterattack story can't help but make people think, what kind of skills and resourcefulness can she rely on to reach the pinnacle of power struggle?
Mrs. Bian's legend may be an accident of history, or she may be a personal extraordinary. In this title, there is a court legend of power strife and emotional entanglement. Let's step into this epic together, explore how Mrs. Bian counterattacked the extraordinary experience of the Empress Dowager Cao Wei as a singer of the Qinglou, solve this ancient court mystery, and understand the shining female legend in the long river of history.
The extraordinary life of a singer
Mrs. Bian, who is she? A woman who originally made a living as an artist in the rivers and lakes was originally destined to be a member of the long river of history. The gears of fate began to turn the moment she met Cao Cao, and she transformed from an inconspicuous wandering woman into a legendary life of the founding queen step by step.
We don't know her birthday, we only know that she wanders the world and makes her home. Her wandering figure is all over the Central Plains, and she has touched the hearts of countless people with her heavenly sound. How many days and nights of wandering life have sharpened her arrogant personality, she regards earthly glory as child's play, and is never confused by power. Perhaps it is this innate freedom and detachment that has made her extraordinary life.
In the midsummer of 180 A.D., in the middle of summer, Mrs. Bian once again came to Henan County to perform arts. Under the scorching sun, there are few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally passing people pass by in a hurry, without any intention of stopping. Madame Bian sighed in her heart, if she had been born in the family of princes and nobles with such a singing voice, how could she have fallen to this? Seeing that this area was already depressed, she had to clean up the miscellaneous well and leave after singing this song.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dusty middle-aged scholar walked slowly from the corner of the street. His slightly withered face was full of arrogance, and he was dressed as a scholar like a dignitary. Mrs. Bian couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking to herself what kind of local figure this person must be, how could he come to her singing scene at this time?
This person is Cao Cao, who was full of ambition when he was young but had to return to his hometown to recuperate.
Love at first sight, accepted as a singer
Cao Cao approached Madame Bian, and the melodious singing voice made him forget the exhaustion of his body. When the song was finished, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Good voice, girl, what's your name, where do you come from?"
Mrs. Bian smiled slightly, without any flattery, and replied indifferently: "I am just a traveling song woman who is home from all over the world, surnamed Mrs. Bian, and she makes a living in this area today. I don't know who Your Excellency is here, but it is a great honor for you to be admired. ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly returned the salute: "In Xia Cao Cao, the people of Qian County here are just a failed Confucian scholars. I am fortunate to listen to your singing voice today, and I just feel that it is wonderful! I wonder if Madame is willing to worship her as a teacher and help me in the future?"
Mrs. Bian heard the pride and ambition in Cao Cao's tone, she stared at it and found that the person in front of her was indeed an outlier. At the moment, he was not polite, and bluntly said that he was not a woman from a good family, but a singer from all over the world. Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, saying that his move was not an ordinary person, and he would definitely get ahead in the future, and he would definitely reuse his wife when the time came.
The two had a long conversation that day and talked freely with each other. Mrs. Bian talked very well, and discussed current affairs with Cao Cao, but she was able to justify herself, which caused Cao Cao to be surprised again and again.
Since then, Mrs. Bian has lived in Cao's Mansion. She was blessed by Cao Cao and no longer ran around singing. Later, she gave birth to two sons for Cao Cao, and she was glorious for a while. However, her heart is still high, and she has not changed her personality in the slightest because of the increase in power. This also made Cao Cao full of praise for her.
The assassination failed, and the hearts of the people were stabilized
In 189 AD, Dong Zhuo's regime ran rampant, and the government and the opposition were indignant. Cao Cao also suffered from it, so he went to assassinate him alone, wanting to be ashamed. However, he was alone in the end, and his assassination attempt was not immune to failure. At this time of life and death, Mrs. Bian did not hesitate to sacrifice herself, stepped forward, and turned the tide in the Cao family.
She declared to everyone: "Komeito is not dead, this assassination is only for surprise." He ordered me to stabilize everyone, please keep your faith and wait for Komei's return. Don't act recklessly on the spur of the moment to undermine Komeito's great cause!"
A few simple words stabilized the situation that was about to collapse. At this time, Mrs. Bian was already pregnant with Liujia, and her calm and righteous appearance made every panicked Cao family member present, including the soldiers under Cao Cao, impressed.
Everyone was speechless for a long time, and they were all moved by her momentum. Her actions save a dying family and rekindle hope in the midst of desperation.
This singing and crying woman, with her proud spirit of the world, showed determination and courage beyond ordinary people in times of crisis. It was with her hidden great contribution that Cao Cao was able to return triumphantly a few months later, recover the lost mountains and rivers, and regain his strength and pride.
Be diligent and thrifty, and stabilize the morale of the army
Mrs. Bian won Cao Cao's trust, but she was never arrogant and lascivious because of this. During the years of conquest, she always lived a frugal life, just like in the Jianghu era. Whenever Cao Cao returned to the court, he would give her a generous gift as a reward. But she gave all the gold, silver and jewelry to the soldiers, leaving only one or two inconspicuous belongings for herself.
Cao Cao saw that she was not pampered and arrogant, and he couldn't help but sigh and feel distressed. He ordered someone to create several beautiful sets of jewelry for her, but she waved her hand and declined, only choosing an inconspicuous earring to wear, and euphemistically explained: "Take all for greed, take the worst for nothing, I only take one of them, to show that it is enough." ”
Mrs. Bian's actions and actions have had a positive impact on the army. She led by example, was diligent and thrifty, distributed the rewards given by Cao Cao to the soldiers, and praised the merits of the soldiers. Her modesty and strict discipline have boosted the morale of the military. She has never been arrogant at all because of the improvement of her status, which is extremely rare among the beauties of the harem.
Because of this, she was heartily loved by the soldiers, and everyone rushed to emulate her simple style. This played an immeasurable positive role in Cao Cao's stabilization of the army's morale. It can be seen that a woman's strength can also support a world at a critical moment and achieve a great cause.
Advise the son of the world to be proud and self-controlled
In 220 AD, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne as Emperor Wen of Wei. He got carried away and wanted to celebrate his mother with a feast. As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers echoed it, praising it as a gratitude to Mrs. Bian for her fertility. However, Mrs. Bian was unmoved, and she said to her son solemnly: "I have just fulfilled the minimum responsibility of a mother and gave birth to you. Your greatest joy is that you are on the right path and live up to expectations. The fact that a feast is inappropriate, and as a mother, I will never agree to it. ”
The crowd was dumbfounded. Cao Pi also realized his mistake and immediately dispelled this idea. Behind this decision is Mrs. Bian's innate arrogance, and her noble soul does not allow herself to succumb to power and fame. Although she is already the queen mother, she is still self-controlled, and she is not arrogant and lascivious because of glory and wealth.
Her exhortation was a slap in the face and made Cao Pi sober up. When Cao Cao heard this, he was full of praise: Mrs. Bian is really extraordinary, she has always maintained a transcendent character, even if she is in a high position, she will not change at all! Such a transcendent realm is really commendable.
Such a queen mother, the Wei family is fortunate that she is truly as gentle as jade. A woman's power is enough to influence the way her son and husband are in power. It is precisely with her stable support in the rear that the Cao family was able to stand firm and gradually become strong in turbulent times.
epilogue
Mrs. Bian's blue blood and heart have supported an era with her arrogant and worldly temperament. How a woman who was initially inconspicuous dealt with the troubled times calmly and stabilized the hearts of the army, and how to maintain an independent character in the face of power without arrogance or rashness are all worthy of every woman's Xi.
The delicate relationship between her and Cao Cao, her noble character, and her struggle are all good stories in Chinese history. We cherish the legendary life of the founding queen and her great contributions to Cao Wei's foundation! A woman's demeanor in troubled times is worthy of eternal admiration!
