The first beautiful woman of the Three Kingdoms is beneficial and colorful: it makes father and son look against each other, and brothers become enemies, but they die a miserable death! Who is the first beauty of the Three Kingdoms? It is not the legendary mink cicada, whose people are rich and colored, but they died a miserable death! The first beautiful woman of the Three Kingdoms is beneficial and colorful: it makes father and son turn against each other, and brothers become enemies, but they can be canonized after death!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >1/Sable Cicada: Sister is just a legend</h1>
Traditional Chinese literati have a strong interest in poetry and wine articles and beauty, and they are even more fond of beautiful women, so they also selected the four classical beauties, namely "sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and shy flowers". "Closed moon, shy flowers, sinking fish, falling geese" is a synonym for the four beauties in ancient times, and behind each person is a historical allusion: "sinking fish" refers to Xi Shi Huansha, "falling geese" refers to Zhaojun out of the plug, "closed moon" refers to the mink cicada worshiping the moon, and "shy flower" talks about the noble concubine guanhua.
Among them, the "closed moon" mink cicada lived in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty and was once extremely popular. In fact, according to the analysis of relevant data, the mink cicada is only a legendary character, there is no one in history, and all her stories are imagined out of thin air by Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to shape the needs of the character. So, who was the first beauty of the Three Kingdoms era? She is the Lady Zhen who married twice in her life and stirred the spring hearts of the three fathers and sons of the Cao family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5">2/The words of the xiangshi must not be believed</h1>
Zhen Shi, Zhongshan Wuji, according to legend, his name Zhen Mi, this should be interpreted by posterity, because history has no record. His father Zhen Yi was shangcai ling, and his mother Zhang shi was a native of Changshan, and had three sons and five daughters. Zhen's eldest brother Zhen Yu died early, the second brother Zhen Yu was a young man who held up filial piety as a lang, and was made a general rafter, serving as Qu Liang Ling, and the third brother Zhen Yao also held up filial piety.
Zhen's father failed to accompany her and died when she was 3 years old. When her father died, young Zhen cried very sadly because she missed her father, and this early wisdom made people in the family and around her feel that she was different from everyone else. Xiangshi Liu Liang looked at Zhen and Zhen Yi's other children, but was only attracted by Zhen, and he pointed at Zhen and said, "This woman will be precious in the future." ”
Although there is a prophecy that Xiangshi is "unspeakably expensive", the Zhen family has suffered one change after another, and when Zhen was fourteen years old, the second brother Zhen Yu died of illness. Zhen's mother has a strict personality, often using strict rules to require widowed daughters-in-law, Zhen advised her mother: "The second brother unfortunately died early, the second sister-in-law was widowed at a young age, and she also had to take care of the children left behind, although she was a daughter-in-law, she should love her like her own daughter." The mother was moved to tears when she heard Zhen's words, and then she let Zhen and the second sister-in-law often move around, living together, and the relationship was very close.
Zhen is not only kind-hearted, but also becomes a beautiful person when he becomes an adult. Zhen's intelligence and beauty were known to Yuan Shao, the great warlord who owned Hebei, so he helped his second son Yuan Xi marry back to Zhen. In the third year of Jian'an (199), Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan, zhen's husband Yuan Xi (袁熙) was made the assassin of Youzhou, while Zhen remained in Yicheng to serve his mother-in-law, Lady Liu. As Xiang Shi said, Zhen lived a rich life from then on.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >3/ Forced to remarry, rich and powerful</h1>
However, such a day did not last long, and the peace of her life was broken again, because it was a chaotic world of warlords fighting and the crowds of heroes chasing deer, even if the strength was like Yuan Shao, it was difficult to ensure that the rich and noble would stay for a long time. In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Yuan Shao died of illness, leaving his third son Yuan Shang as his heir, and his eldest son Yuan Tan disobeyed, and his third brother Yuan Shang attacked each other in order to fight for power and profit, which gave Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage. In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Cao's troops attacked Yuan's stronghold of Jizhou, and the city of Yicheng was breached by Cao Cao.
According to historical records, the reason why Cao Cao desperately attacked Yecheng was to go to the beautiful woman and Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Shi, but unexpectedly, he let his son Cao Pi take the first step. For example, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasty Song Emperor and the literary scholar Liu Yiqing, in his compilation of the "New Language of the World", there is such a record:
Wei Zhen was favored and colored, and was first yuan Xi's wife, and was very favored. Cao Gongzhi's Tu Yiye (曹公之 Tu Ye) made Zhen Summoning Zhen and left and right: "The Five Senses Zhonglang is already gone." "This year the thief is becoming a slave."
As mentioned in the previous paragraph, Empress Wei Wenzhaozhen was virtuous and beautiful, and at first she was Yuan Xi's wife and very favored. After Cao Gong attacked Yecheng, he summoned Zhen, and everyone around him said, "General Cao Pi of the Five Senses zhonglang has already gone." Cao Cao said, "This year's attack on Yecheng was precisely to get her. ”
For the beauty of Zhen's family, Cao's father and son have long heard of it and are covetous. After Cao Cao captured The City of Yicheng, Cao Pi, who was then the general of the Five Senses, led his troops into the Yuan Mansion first. After Cao Pi entered the Yuan mansion, he saw zhen because he was afraid to put his head on Lady Liu's lap, and Lady Liu had her hands tied. Cao Pi asked incomprehensibly, "Why does Madame want this?" Ask your daughter-in-law to lift her head. Lady Liu picked up Zhen and made her look up, and Cao Pi saw that she was indeed very beautiful and wanted to marry her home.
Although Cao Cao had a little hatred in his heart, he had no good seizures, so he had to agree to Cao Pi's request and marry Zhen for him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17">4/age fades and dies</h1>
After Zhen married Cao Pi, he was indeed deeply favored, and successively gave birth to a son Cao Rui (Emperor Ming of Wei) and a daughter Cao Shi (Princess Dongxiang).
Although Zhen was favored, he was not pampered and proud, but often cherished good thoughts, and favored Cao Pi's concubines to exhort them to work hard, and comforted and enlightened the unloved, and often advised Cao Pi at idle banquets: "In ancient times, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor flourished because of the large number of wives and concubines. Therefore, the husband should also be a virtuous and beautiful woman in order to make the heirs prosperous. Cao Pi listened to the praise in his heart and cherished Zhen's family.
When a woman completely surrenders her happiness to a man, whether she can be favored for a lifetime is very predictable. The facts in history have proved that the vast majority of former favored people have retired from the field, because most men like the new and dislike the old. Zhen Shi could not escape such a fate, and even its ending was even more tragic.
Zhen's misfortune stemmed from cao pi's step-by-step ascension. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi, who had won the battle for favor with Cao Zhi, succeeded him as King of Wei. In October of the first year of Yankang (220), Emperor Chan of Han gave the throne to Cao Pi. After the Throne, Liu Xie, who abdicated as the Duke of Shanyang, gave his two daughters Xu to Cao Pi as concubines, and Guo Gui's concubines and Li and Yin were favored at the same time. The once favored Zhen clan was snubbed by Cao Pi, and Zhen became increasingly frustrated, and from time to time revealed some resentful words.
This handle of Zhen was seized by her lover Guo Guifei, and she always said bad things about Zhen in front of Cao Pi, which caused Cao Pi to be greatly dissatisfied. A year after Cao Pi declared himself emperor, he sent emissaries to the death of Zhen in June of the second year of the Huang Dynasty (221). It is said that after Zhen's death, in order to fear that her wronged soul would go to Hades to file a complaint, Guo And others covered zhen's face after Zhen's death, so that her soul had nowhere to seek revenge.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" >5/Mother is proud of her son and revenge</h1>
Although zhen's mouth of the underworld was sealed and could not be repaid to the king of Yama, the evil of the yang was soon repaid. After Cao Pi's death, Zhen's son Cao Rui became emperor, and his mother's life and death grievances fell in the daytime, and the end of Guo Shi, who was already the empress dowager, could be imagined.
According to the Book of Wei, the Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty, and the Zizhi Tongjian, after Emperor Ming succeeded to the throne, he was resentful in his heart, and several times he wept and asked the empress dowager about the death of his mother, and Empress Guo said: "Your mother was killed by the former emperor, why did you blame me?" Blame your father. Besides, as the Son of Man, how can you kill your stepmother because of your own mother? ”
However, Emperor Ming kept asking questions, and Empress Guo was worried about it. After Guo's death, only one person told Emperor Ming the truth, and this person was another concubine of Cao Pi, Li Shi. It turned out that before Zhen's death, he had entrusted Cao Rui to Cao Pi's concubine Li Shi, and after Empress Guo's death, Li Shi explained Zhen's death to Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming was overwhelmed with grief when he heard this, and empress Dowager Guo was also buried with a veil.
Not only that, after Zhen's death, she was also canonized because of the help of a cao family disciple who had always had a crush on her, and this helper was Cao Zhi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" >6/ It is difficult to be a god because of the endowment</h1>
Cao Zhi was the third son born to Cao Cao and Empress Wuxuanbian, and the most talented of Cao Cao's many heirs. During this period, Cao Cao also wanted to pass on to him, but in the final battle, it was his brother Cao Pi who won, first as king, and then as emperor.
As the saying goes, the official field is frustrated, and the love field is proud. However, Cao Zhi Cao Zijian, who can take seven steps into poetry and is only eight buckets tall, is frustrated in the official field. Cao Zhi has always been obsessed with Zhen, but she was cooked by her brother first raw rice, and even her father Cao Cao retreated, what else could he say? Even without the relationship of Zhen's family, he was already a big problem in his brother's heart, how dare he go beyond the thunder pool with this bit of male and female affection? In fact, Zhen also admired her talented little uncle, but because of the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law, she could only be deterred.
What is unpredictable is that after Cao Pi took possession of the Zhen clan, he did not know how to cherish it, but killed him tragically. Cao Zhi, who has always had a crush on Zhen, was sad and felt that he composed "Luoshen Fu", transforming his sister-in-law Zhen into the Luoshen in his heart. In fact, the legend of Luoshen is someone else, and it predates Cao Zhi's "Luoshen Endowment". The earliest Luoshen was Mi Fei, which was originally the local water god of the Sizhang Luo River in pre-Qin mythology. By the Middle Ages, the image of Roselle was enriched and developed, and gradually transformed into a secular beauty, becoming the object of affection of male literati.
Zhen's title of god was first found in the "Records of the Eastern Han Dynasty" quoted by Li Shan in the "Anthology of Literature". According to history, Cao Pi was proclaimed empress dowager, and Zhen was made a concubine, but later fell out of favor due to sexual decline, and finally died tragically. In the year of Zhen's death, Cao Zhi was summoned to Luoyang to meet his brother. Zhen Housheng's crown prince Cao Rui accompanied him to dinner, and Cao Zhi looked at his nephew and remembered Zhen Hou's death, and his heart was bitter. After the meal, Cao Pi gave Cao Zhi the jade skeleton gold belt pillow, a relic of Zhen Hou.
When Cao Zhi returned to the fiefdom, he stayed in the Luoshui boat overnight, saw things and thoughts of people, 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 the fiefdom, Cao Zhi's mind was still churning with the scene of the encounter with Zhen Hou Luoshui, so Wen Si stirred and wrote a "Sense of Zhen Fu", and after the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne for eight years (234), in order to avoid his mother's name, it was changed to "Luoshen Fu".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" >7/millennium echo, underwater roselle</h1>
Because the influence of Cao Zhi's "Luoshen Endowment" is too great, and people are touched by the love tragedy between Cao Zhi and Zhen, it is said that Zhen is identified as Luoshen. A few days ago, the stunning "Underwater Roselle" (also known as "Prayer") in Henan Tai had the shadow of Concubine Zhen. It is precisely because of this underwater dance on the Internet that Zhen, who has been silent for thousands of years, has returned to the vision of modern audiences and readers.
Throughout Zhen's life, there is the grief of losing his father and brother in childhood, the helplessness of young people being forced to remarry, the torment of middle-aged love and inability, and the regret of dying in their prime. Therefore, in the feudal era of son preference and women without independent status, the "nobility" of women can only be a mirror flower and water moon. Only in this way can Zhen's story be remembered by posterity and lamented by it.
The deceased are like Si, honorable, favored, tragic death, or canonization of gods, all of which have nothing to do with Zhen.
