Princess Qinghe (200-271), Cao Cao's eldest daughter, was born from the same Lady Liu as Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, and when she became an adult, she married Xiahou 楙 (mào). ("The Biography of Wei Zhi and Xiahoudun" quoted in "Wei Luo")

There are a total of 5 Qinghe princesses in history, they are Princess Qinghe, the daughter of Emperor Wu of Wei, Princess Qinghe of Tang Taizong, Princess Qinghe of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, Princess Qinghe of Mingrenzong, and Princess Qinghe of Murong of Qianyan.

Cao Cao liked this daughter very much, and when she grew up, at the beginning, Cao Cao was ready to marry Ding Yi, but his son Cao Pi persuaded her to marry Xiahou Nan.

As the saying goes, "Men are afraid of doing the wrong thing, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man." As a generation of traitors, Cao Cao also knows the stakes well, so Cao Cao never dared to be careless about his children's marriage, especially for the marriage of his eldest daughter Princess Qinghe.

Although for political purposes, he once married his three daughters to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, but because Princess Qinghe's mother, Mrs. Liu, died early, and the only half-brother Cao Ang also died in the chaos because of Cao Cao's one-night affair in Nanyang, Cao Cao always felt sorry for his daughter, so he loved this eldest daughter like a pearl in his palm.

When the male is married and the female is married, when Princess Qinghe grows up, Cao Cao naturally regards his daughter's marriage as a top priority, and Cao Cao's first love is Ding Yi.

Ding Yi is talented, and Ding Yi's father Ding Chong had a good relationship with Cao Cao very early, and was an old friend of Cao Cao, who once persuaded Cao Cao to welcome Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty to Xudu in time, so he made great contributions and was appointed as the captain of the school (equivalent to the secretary of the current Beijing Municipal Party Committee), and Cao Cao has always been very grateful to Ding Chong.

Because Ding Chong died early, Cao Cao had the heart to marry his beloved daughter to Ding Yi, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds, not only to find a good son-in-law for his daughter, but also to be worthy of his dead good friend.

However, when discussing this matter with Cao Pi, the eldest son who was still serving as the general of the five senses at the time, he did not expect Cao Pi to be optimistic about this marriage.

Cao Pi said: "The girl's family still attaches more importance to the appearance of men, although Ding Yi is very talented, but his eyes are too small, I am really afraid that your baby daughter may not like him, I think it is better to marry Xiahou Nan, the son of Fubo General Xiahou Xuan, so that it is more suitable to kiss and kiss."

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought about it for a few days, and finally married Princess Qinghe to Xiahou Nan according to Cao Pi's idea.

Later, Cao Cao appointed Ding Yi as the prime minister, and after a conversation with him, Cao Cao admired Ding Yi's outstanding talent even more, and sighed and said: "Ding Yi is indeed a rare young talent, even if he is blind in both eyes, I want to marry my daughter to him, not to mention that the eyes are a little small, alas, it is Cao Pi who ruined my daughter's marriage!"

…… ……

We don't know whether Cao Pi only disagreed with Ding Yi at that time, and whether it was for his own ulterior political purposes, because Xiahou Xuan (dū

As Cao Cao's uncle and younger brother (Cao Cao's original surname is Xiahou), he won Cao Cao's trust and trust, and was loyal, and made great contributions to Cao Cao.

Xiahou Nan and Cao Pi have been very close since childhood.

Therefore, we cannot rule out that Cao Pi's move was deliberately done in order to curry favor with Xiahoudun and to gain one more political bargaining chip in the struggle against Cao Zhi for succession.

Because Xiahou Nan is indeed mediocre, anyway, even Wei Yan of Shu Han knows that he has no talent, how could Cao Pi not know?

Because of this, Cao Pi and Ding Yi also completely turned their faces, Ding Yi gritted his teeth with hatred for Cao Pi, so he was more friendly with Cao Zhi, and often praised Cao Zhi in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Pi succeeded as the king of Wei, because Ding Yi had previously supported Cao Zhi and planned to cure Ding Yi's crimes, Xiahou Shang kowtowed and pleaded to no avail. In February of the same year, Cao Pi demoted Cao Zhi to the post of Marquis of Anxiang and executed the two brothers Ding Yi and Ding Hui (yì) and the two men.

Ruthless enough, right?

This is the relentless political struggle.

…… ……

Although Xiahou Nan's talent was mediocre, after Cao Pi became emperor, he immediately appointed him as the general of Anxi, and after Xiahou Yuan, he held the festival to guard Chang'an, and the governor of the Guanzhong region, which was still very good to him.

However, Xiahou Nan was stupid, not only did he not know how to do a good job, but he raised many beautiful dancing girls in Chang'an, drunk and dreamed of death every day, without considering the feelings of Princess Qinghe and the face of the Cao Wei royal family, so the relationship between Princess Qinghe and Xiahou Nan was also greatly hurt.

…… ……

Xiahou Nan's younger brothers, Xiahou Zizang and Xiahou Zijiang, came to find their sister-in-law, Princess Qinghe.

It turns out that these people usually rely on power to run rampant and domineering, and they are notorious in the fish and meat township.

Although Xiahou Nan likes women, he still attaches great importance to the law and the face of the family, so he reprimanded these younger brothers fiercely, and said that if he commits it again in the future, he will be ruthless and will be sent to the official to deal with it strictly.

The younger brothers were afraid of being held accountable, so they wanted to jointly slander and frame Xiahou Nan.

The little uncle told his sister-in-law this idea, and he was withstanding Princess Qinghe's evil fire, so the uncle and sister-in-law jointly sued Xiahou Nan.

This lawsuit must have reached Cao Pi's desk.

Cao Pi read the "complaint" and felt that Xiahou Nan was too much, and felt deeply sorry for Princess Qinghe, so he was furious and planned to kill Xiahou Nan to vent his anger for the princess.

When he asked Duan Mo, the captain of Changshui, Duan Mo said: "This must be a feud between the princess and the concubine, so he framed Xiahou Nan, and Xiahou Mao would not say such things." Besides, General Fubo Xiahoudun assisted the first emperor to pacify the world and made great contributions, please think twice!"

Cao Pi calmed down and thought about it carefully, and he was very clear in his heart, and said gloomily: "I think it's true!"

Later, after interrogation, it turned out that Xiahou Zijiang, the younger brother of Xiahou Zijiang, and Xiahou Zizang instigated Princess Qinghe.

That's the end of the matter.

History has left a good story of an uncle and sister-in-law uniting the whole junior in an unsuccessful attempt.

…… ……

After this incident, Xiahou Nan and Princess Qinghe, who were not very good in the relationship between husband and wife, are now even worse, and what happened to Princess Qinghe later, history has never recorded it, but we can imagine.

Cao Pi harmed Princess Qinghe's happiness for the sake of his throne, but Princess Qinghe is not very good, how can she say that she is also a husband and wife, how can she team up with her husband's younger brother to frame her husband?

Xiahou Nan's failure as a man is naturally conceivable!

As a woman, Princess Qinghe is unlucky, unfortunately she was born in the emperor's family, there is a way to be ruthless and the most emperor's family, the so-called flesh and blood family love is difficult to work with them.
