Ye (邺yè) The city was broken, and Cao Cao took care of the military affairs after entering the city.

When attacking the city, he explicitly ordered that the Yuan family should not be moved left and right, and he would deal with it there, and then let his son Cao Pi take over the Yuan family.

Cao Cao heard that Yuan Xi's wife was beautiful, but he didn't pour out his hand, but he didn't expect that his son would take the lead.

Cao Pi was preconceived, and then, led Zhen Fu (Mi Fú) to see Cao Cao, and told his father that he wanted to accept this lady.

When Cao Cao saw it, he was also amazed, and he couldn't help but slip out of a verbal phrase "it" in his heart, and then said, "Who is this lady?" ”

(Cao Cao asks knowingly.) ）

Cao Pi said, "She is Yuan Xi's wife Zhen, I have done her, and now I ask my father to approve it, and I will take her as a concubine." ”

"You ......"

Cao Pi nodded and said, "Yes, just now." ”

"But but," Cao Cao said a little incoherently, "since she is Yuan Xi's wife, then he is older than you, what year was she born?" ”

Cao Pi turned his head and glanced at Zhen Fu (Mi Fú) and said, "She is a person born in the fifth year of Guanghe." ”

Cao Cao snapped his fingers twice, calculated, and said, "Then she is 23 this year." ”

Cao Pi said, "Yes." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It's not suitable." She's 23, you're only 18, 5 years old, 'female college five, race tiger'. You two are not suitable. ”

Cao Pi thought to himself, then who is suitable? What about you? I'm preconceived, you still want to pry your son's bar?

Cao Pi said, "I heard, 'Female senior student, family blessing', Dad, why do you say it's inappropriate?" ”

How old is the difference between men and women, good or bad, there has been this saying since ancient times, what "a female college is not a wife", "a female college girl holds a gold nugget", etc., are all homophony, there is no basis.

However, people just believe, and that's no trick.

Moreover, whoever says it is more catchy, whoever says it, will dominate.

Cao Cao said, "Female five, race tiger", reluctantly, what do you say about a five-year-old woman racing a tiger? It doesn't make sense; And Cao Pi said that "the fifth female is blessed", but it is said: the wife is five years older, sensible, and can manage the family well, of course, it is the blessing of the family; Moreover, from the individual to the family, it rises to a height and pulls up a level.

Cao Cao had nothing to say, so he had to hug his beard, laugh and say, "Family Door Blessing, Family Door Blessing, okay, just Family Door Blessing." ”

Cao Pi married Zhen.

After Zhen married Cao Pi, he was favored alone, and he was good at the house for several years, and gave birth to his son Cao Rui (叡

ui) and daughter Cao (Princess Dongxiang).

Zhen exhorted those who were favored by Cao Pi's concubines to work hard, and comforted and enlightened those who lacked favor, and often persuaded Cao Pi at the banquet, "In ancient times, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor were prosperous because of the many wives and concubines. Therefore, the husband should also accept more virtuous and beautiful women, so that the heirs can be prosperous. ”

Cao Pi listened to it and praised it in his heart.

After that, Cao Pi wanted to expel Ren.

Zhen begged Cao Pi and said, "Ren is a famous member of the township party, no matter the morality or beauty, I can't compare, why should I send her away?" ”

Cao Pi said, "Ren is impatient and not gentle, and she resented me not once before, so she sent her." ”

Zhen cried and insisted on pleading, "I am honored by you, and everyone knows it, and they will definitely guess that Ren was expelled because of me." My in-laws will say that I am selfish, and I will be suspected of being favored below, I hope you can reconsider! ”

Cao Pi didn't listen, but insisted on sending Ren away.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao's beloved son Cao Chong died, and Cao Cao posthumously presented him as a cavalry captain, and hired the deceased daughter of the Zhen family as a concubine, and Cao Chong was buried together in a dark marriage, and succeeded Cao Chong (琮có), the son of Cao Yi

g) for the last.

In July of the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao went on a westward expedition, and the accompanying Mrs. Bian fell ill on the way and stayed in Mengjin, while Cao Pi and Zhen stayed in Ye (Ye yè) City.

At that time, Mrs. Bian was in poor health, and Zhen couldn't rush to take care of the greetings, so she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep and eat, and often cried secretly.

The people around her told her that Mrs. Bian was cured, but Zhen still didn't believe it, and said, "Mrs. is at home, ** is a frequent offender, and it takes a long time to recover every time, how can it get better so quickly this time?" You must be trying to comfort me. ”

So I'm even more worried.

Later, Mrs. Bian replied, saying that her body had recovered, and Zhen was relieved.

When the army returned to Ye, Zhen went to greet him, and when he saw Mrs. Bian, he was filled with joy and sorrow, and the people around him were moved when they saw it.

Seeing that Zhen cared so much about herself, Mrs. Bian couldn't help crying, and said, "Is my daughter-in-law afraid that the last time I got sick would be as repeated as before?" I'm just a little uncomfortable, just a minor illness, and I'll be fine in ten days. You can see that I have a good complexion. ”

Then he sighed, "What a filial daughter-in-law!" ”

During the Han and Wei dynasties, it was a custom for housewives to worship at banquets.

When Cao Pi was the prince, he once feasted all the literary officials, and ordered his wife Zhen to worship, and there were Wu Zhen and Liu Zhen sitting together, and the other guests bowed their heads to Zhen, only Liu Zhen did not worship, but looked at Zhen.

When Cao Cao heard about it, he severely punished Liu Zhen, and at first sentenced him to death, and later exempted from the death penalty and assigned to the millstone for hard labor, Wu Zhen was also implicated and demoted to the head of the court, and later moved to the Yuancheng Order.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Cao Cao went east to conquer Sun Quan, Lady Bian, Cao Pi and Cao Rui (叡

ui), the princess of Dongxiang followed, and at that time, Zhen stayed in Ye (Ye yè) City because of illness.

In September of the following year, when the army returned to Ye (Ye yè) City, Mrs. Bian's attendants and maids on the left and right saw that Zhen's face was better than before, so they asked her strangely: "Madame, you have been separated from the two children for so long, don't you miss them, but your face is so good, why?" ”

Zhen replied with a smile: "Cao Rui (叡

ui) and Princess Dongxiang they follow Mrs. Bian, what else do I have to worry about. ”

In the first month of 220 A.D. (the first year of Yankang), Cao Pi was on the throne and was crowned Cao Rui

ui) for Wu Dehou.

In June, he led the army to the south, and Zhen stayed in Ye (Ye yè) City.

In October, Emperor Chan of the Han Dynasty gave the throne to Cao Pi.

After the Zen throne, Liu Xie, who abdicated as the Duke of Shanyang, married his two daughters to Cao Pi as concubines, and Guo Guifei and Li and Yin were favored by Cao Pi at the same time.

In June 221 A.D. (the second year of the early Huang Dynasty), Cao Pi sent an envoy to give Zhen to death and buried him in Ye (Ye yè) City.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" records that Empress Zhen's death was favored by Empress Guo.

Emperor Wen asked Zhou Xuan: "I dreamed that two tiles on the palace fell down and turned into two mandarin ducks. What are the signs? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I'm afraid that someone in the harem will die violently." ”

Cao Pi said, "I mean to lie to you. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Dreaming is a matter of mind, if you can put it into words, you can divinate the good fortune." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the Yellow Gate Commander came to report that there were people in the harem who were killing each other.

Not long after, Cao Pi asked Zhou Xuan again: "I dreamed yesterday that a puff of green smoke rose to the sky. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I'm afraid there will be a noble woman in the world who died unjustly." ”

At that time, Cao Pi had already sent someone to give Mrs. Zhen an edict of death, and he regretted it very much after listening to Zhou Xuan's words, so he sent someone to chase the messenger, but unfortunately it was too late.
