078 The three sisters of the Cao family
In the Han Dynasty, we had three well-known Cao Jie, one was Cao Cao's great-grandfather, called Cao Jie.
Sima Biao's "Book of the Continuation of the Han Dynasty" cited by Pei Songzhi in "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Emperor Wu Ji" records, "(Cao) Teng's father's day, the character Yuanwei, is known for benevolence. The neighbor has a dead pig, which is similar to the festival pig, and the door recognizes it, and the festival does not fight; After the death of the pig returned to his home, the owner of the pig was ashamed, sent the pig to recognize, and said thanks, and smiled and accepted it. The township party nobles sighed. ”
This is the story of "recognizing the pig without fighting", which is about Cao Jie's neighbor's pig being lost, and his pig is very similar to Cao Jie's pig, so he went to Cao Jie's house to recognize the pig, but Cao Jie did not argue with him and let him rush home. Later, the neighbor's pig ran home, and the neighbor was very ashamed and repaid the pig he had mistakenly identified, and Cao Jie accepted the pig with a smile.
The other is a person in the Ten Constant Servants of the Evil Circle, also called Cao Jie.
The eunuch Cao Jie can be said to be a standard traitor, a downright bad person, and he didn't do anything good.
In the early years of Emperor Shun of Han, he was promoted to Xiaohuangmen; When Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he was promoted to the rank of Zhongchang Attendant and Fengche Commander; When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Chang'an for his contribution to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and was later promoted to the captain of Changle Guard, renamed the Marquis of Yuyang, and also served as the head of the Great Changqiu (the person in charge of the Queen's Palace), and was posthumously awarded the General of the Che Cavalry by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty after his death.
This Cao Jie once killed Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others with Changle Wuguan Shi Zhu Yu (yǔ) and others, and exterminated them; He and Wang Fu and others falsely accused Liu Kui, the younger brother of Emperor Huan of Han, of rebellion, and forced Liu Kui and his wife to commit suicide together.
The Cao Jie family has officials all over the world, but most of them are absurd and tyrannical.
The third one is called Cao Jie, who is Cao Cao's daughter. So, in ancient times, the words to call the elders were taboo, why did Cao Cao call his daughter the name of his great-grandfather? Is it like the characters in "One Hundred Years of Solitude"?
Not really.
Born in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Jie, who was less than a year old, was considered unlucky by Cao Cao's wife Ding, and later lost and recovered, this year was when Cao Cao took Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Xian, from Luoyang to Xu Du and began to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was regained because of the loss of Cao Jie, and came to visit, because he saw the green bamboo in the courtyard, and named her "Cao Jie".
…… ……
Cao Jie (196-260), the character Yuanwei, was a native of Peiguo Qian (Qiáo) County (now Bozhou, Anhui), the second empress of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and the daughter of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei.
In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213 AD), Cao Cao married his three daughters (Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua) to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as nobles.
Interestingly, Cao Cao had just ascended to the throne as Duke of Wei two months earlier, just when his power was at its peak.
According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, "In the fifth month of Bingshen, the Son of Heaven made the imperial historian Xi (xī) consider the festival and order the Duke of Wei to be the Duke of Wei...... In autumn and July, the temple of Jizong of Wei Society was built. The Son of Heaven hired the three daughters of the prince as nobles, and the few stayed in the country for the year. ”
"The young stay in the country", that is, among the three daughters, Cao Hua is still underage, and when she reaches adulthood, she will be sent to the palace.
What kind of moth did Cao Cao do? If you are not an adult, don't give it out, how can you give it to a minor, wait until you are an adult, and then send it to the palace?
What are you doing?
The Sprinkle family guessed that Cao Dabeard had a premeditated plan: he had long wanted to get rid of Queen Fu.
You see, when her father Fu Wan was alive, Empress Fu wrote a letter to her father, asking her father to get rid of Cao Cao, whose father died in the fourteenth year of Jian'an (210), and four years later, in the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), this secret was leaked, and Cao Cao used this as an excuse to kill Empress Fu.
It is worth noting that in the second year of marrying the third daughter, Cao Cao did not do it, which shows that killing the queen was already within his plan: I will kill you two and compensate you three, is it not okay? Ladies and gentlemen, you give a judgment, I Cao Agui, is it unfair to do this?
- That's why I got married before I was a minor, and I made up 3, which is also 3>2.
If you think about it carefully, Cao Apu can do such a thing! Otherwise, when he was alive, he had already usurped the Han Yu Wei, he wanted to be the **, and wanted to set up the master of the archway, I am afraid that the world will say that he is disloyal, unfilial and not authentic.
As for why he killed the ambush, it was usurping the heart of his son of the Wei Dynasty, and everyone knew it.
Some people also said that Empress Fu Shoufu did not write the letter at all, and the matter of writing the letter was purely made up by Cao Cao, he just wanted to get rid of Empress Fu and let his daughter Cao Jie be the queen and supervise the harem, which is logical.
Otherwise, how could the case of Fu Shou not be tried ("Fu Shou took the blame for himself, and he was not tried, but fortunately he was very lucky"), and the case was decided and he was killed?
If this is the case, it is necessary to try the case: who sent the letter, who else are your accomplices, and so on.
…… ……
In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Cao Cao married his three biological daughters, Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua, to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty as his wife
50,000 horses for the betrothal bride, and the young daughter stayed in the feudal kingdom for the time being, and then sent to the palace when she was old enough to marry.
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), the three Cao Jie sisters were all named nobles. In the same year, Fu Shou, the empress of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was killed. In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Cao Cao asked Emperor Han Xian to establish Cao Jie as the queen, and Emperor Han Xian had to comply.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), Cao Cao died, and Cao Pi inherited the title of King of Wei.
As soon as Cao Pi became the king of Wei, he immediately coerced Emperor Xian of Han to "let Chan".
"Zen Rang" is actually a disguise, in order to make this disguise look better, he wrote a "resignation" three times in advance, until Emperor Han Xian repeatedly "begged", he "reluctantly" agreed.
Cao Pi also ordered people to build a "Zen concession platform" in Xuchang, preparing to stage a hypocritical trick similar to "Yao Shun Zen Concession".
But Cao Jie's attempt to stop this "Zen concession" procedure is to refuse to hand over the jade seal. Several groups of people have come to urge, and every time Cao Jie gets angry and scolds the messenger away.
Cao Pi sent people to threaten with force and ask Cao Jie for the seal, but Cao Jie had no choice but to throw the seal under the railing.
In the face of Cao Pi's usurpation, she was extremely angry and shouted, "God has eyes, and I will never let you last long!" ”
…… ……
In the first year of the early Huang Dynasty (220), Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor and gave 10,000 households in Shanyang County, Hanoi County (now Jiaozuo, Henan) as food to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and named him the Duke of Shanyang.
The Han Dynasty was implemented in its rule, and the rituals of the Son of Heaven were used to carry out suburban sacrifices. Cao Jie was also renamed the Duchess of Shanyang.
In June of the first year of Jingyuan (260), Cao Jie died of illness, and was called Queen Xianmu, buried according to the etiquette of the queen of the Han Dynasty, and was buried in the Chan Mausoleum with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
…… ……
Legend has it that after Cao Jie came to Shanyang with Liu Xie, he saw that the people of Shanyang were displaced, poor, sick, hungry and cold, the countryside was barren, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived. Cao Jie encouraged Liu Xie to take off his official uniform, put on cloth clothes, go deep into the people, and use the exquisite medical skills he learned in the palace in the past to save the dead and the wounded, and save the people of Limin.
In this way, Liu Xie became a village doctor in Shanyang Hanging Pot.
Cao Jie and his wife often go to the Yuntai Mountain area to collect medicine, treat and save the people, and are known as "dragon and phoenix doctors" by the people. Now, on the stele of Baijiayan Scenic Area, there is also carved with "Emperor Han Xian's medical practice".
At that time, in the event of a famine, Cao Jie and his wife ordered tax reductions and exemptions, and worked with the people of Shanyang to reduce food and clothing to tide over the difficulties together. In a few years, the people of Shanyang recuperated and rebuilt their homes, and the poor mountains and bad waters of the past were greatly improved.
In order to repay the kindness of Cao Jie and his wife, the people vied with each other to give local fresh fruits and other items to express their gratitude, but they were often politely declined.
In the fifth year of the Huang dynasty (224), Cao Jie sent his son Liu Kang (the second Shanyang Gong) to go to school at the Shanyang Monastery (the predecessor of Shanyang Academy).
Mr. and Mrs. Cao Jie announced that their children, whether rich or poor, could go to school, ranging in age from five or six to twenty years old, and that the number of children was not fixed.
When Cao Jie heard that the descendants of Bu Shang (a native of Wen County, one of the four great disciples of Confucius, who had taught here during the Warring States Wei Wenhou) had a descendant named Bu Shang, who was very famous and learned to run a private school in Wen County, he and Liu Xie personally came to invite him to be the chief professor of Shanyang Jingshe.
It is said that when Cao Jie and his wife arrived in Buyangmen Village, they asked about Bu Shang's home, and they met Bu Shang's daughter-in-law who was in labor, and shouted that she couldn't give birth. It just so happened that Cao Jie and his wife were very good at delivering babies, and Liu Xie instructed Cao Jie how to adjust the fetal position for the mother, how to make the mother accumulate strength, and gave birth to a boy smoothly. Bu Shang's family is grateful.
A few days later, Bu Shang came to Shanyang.
Mr. and Mrs. Cao Jie warmly received him and exchanged views on the matters of running the house.
Until the fall of the Shanyang Kingdom in the third year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (309), Cao Jie's daughter Liu Man, Liu Kang's son Liu Jin (the third Shanyang Gong), Liu Jin's son Liu Qiu (the fourth Shanyang Gong) and other members of the Liu family studied in Shanyang Jingshe. It can be said that the period of Shanyang Kingdom was another prosperous period of Shanyang Academy after Wei Wenhou established Shanyang Yi School and invited Bu Shang to teach.
…… ……
Folklore also says that when Cao Jie and his wife communicated in private, they remembered Cao Cao because of Cao Pi's ruthlessness, and Cao Jie reminded Liu Xie that he should think of some of the benefits of his father-in-law Cao Cao, especially that Liu Xie had tried to get rid of Cao Cao three times.
Although Cao Cao killed Empress Fu and others, Cao Cao did not kill Liu Xie until his death, nor did he call him emperor, but married his three daughters to him.
Cao Cao's behavior not only made the Han Dynasty continue in the turmoil for more than 20 years, but also enabled Liu Xie to save his life because of this special relationship.
In order to commemorate his father, Cao Jie asked his children to call their grandfather Cao Cao "Duke of Wei" or "Master Wei".
Because Cao Jie and his wife were deeply supported by the people of Shanyang, most people followed their example and called Cao Cao "Duke of Wei" or "Lord Wei".
From the beginning of 220 A.D. to the death of 309 A.D., the Sanyang Kingdom went through four generations of Sanyang Dukes, a total of 89 years, which is enough to make this title all over Sanyang.
