Zhen and Queen Guo have been wrestling secretly for a long time.

Back then, Cao Pi sent Yuan to Ren's dethronement, and Zhen cried bitterly to intercede for him.

Even Cao Pi's biological mother, Mrs. Bian, also likes Zhen very much, and often praises her as a filial daughter-in-law.

Zhen's cleverness is more manifested within the family, while Queen Guo has the resourcefulness to participate in political struggles.

…… ……

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" records, "There is wisdom in the future, and there is always something to give." Emperor Wen was designated as the heir, and then there was a plan. ”

In the process of Cao Pi and his brothers competing for the prince of Wei, Queen Guo repeatedly made strange plans and gave advice to her husband, so Cao Pi's ascension to the throne was added in the history books.

After all, there are too many intrigues and tricks in the struggle for the throne that cannot be told to outsiders, so just one sentence, "there is a plan after you" represents a lot, which shows that Queen Guo's political intelligence is really quite remarkable.

Queen Guo's strategy paved a broad path for Cao Pi's final victory and even his eventual claim to the emperor.

Only then did Cao **, Cao Pi inherited his father's throne and prime minister's position as King of Wei.

Queen Guo was named "Madame" by Jin.

Cao Pi left Zhen Luo in Ye (yè) City, and only took Queen Guo, who could give him advice, and brought Queen Guo to Luoyang, and worked together with Queen Guo to plan the throne of Emperor Xian of Han.

In November of the same year, Cao Pi ascended the throne as emperor and established the state of Wei for Emperor Wen of Wei.

…… ……

At this time, Zhen was 39 years old and Queen Guo was 37 years old, and both women basically lost their appearance conditions that they could be proud of. This is the turning point for a woman (or any woman), and after this bend, you are close to victory.

Cao Pi became the emperor as he wished, needless to say, Queen Guo was even more prosperous in his mind.

Therefore, on the subsequent issue of canonizing the queen, Cao Pi has not made a decision for a long time, and he has actually favored Queen Guo, who is in love with him.

Soon, the abdicated Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty sent his two daughters to Cao Pi's harem.

These two Liu nobles should be regarded as Cao Pi's nieces according to their generations, not to mention the daughters of Emperor Xun, even if Cao Pi is not favored, he will never be too cold in his feelings.

And for Zhen, who is about to be in her forties, what is worse is not only Queen Guo, who is also not young.

Since Cao Pi became the emperor, the beauties around him have emerged in endlessly. The generals and ministers who wanted to consolidate their positions of power rushed to stuff their beauties into the Wei Palace. Come in, there is the possibility of soaring.

Soon, among this group of young beauties, Li Guiren and Yin Guiren became Cao Pi's new favorites.

Zhen, who couldn't even see her husband in Yecheng, was actually in a desperate situation.

Zhen is not only Cao Pi's main room, but also the biological mother of Cao Pi's eldest son and eldest daughter, and has the favor of her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Bian, so it is logical that Zhen Luo should become the queen of Cao Wei's harem.

But the truth surprised many people. Cao Pi only named Zhen as "lady", but at the same time, he also named Queen Guo as "noble concubine".

In the early years of Cao Wei, there were five grades of Mrs. and Zhaoyi, which were later increased to twelve, with noble concubines and Mrs. as the highest, and the following were Shufei, Shuyuan, Zhaoyi, Zhaohua, Contouring, Xiuyi, Jieyu, Ronghua, Beauty, and Lover.

The noble concubine was a new rank established by Cao Pi, and her status was second only to the queen. It also means that at this time, Guo Guifei's status has surpassed that of Mrs. Zhen.

Zhen is the main family, and also gave birth to the eldest son and eldest daughter, which should be said to be the most favorable condition for a wife in feudal society, she has all of them, but she only gets the same or slightly lower title than a concubine who has not given birth to any children, it can be seen that Zhen's situation at this time is already more dangerous.

To make matters worse, she hadn't seen her husband for two years.

As the saying goes, when she meets, she can't even see her husband's face, and her husband's hesitation on the issue of the post-closure also gives the harem too much room for maneuver.

At this time, everyone could see Zhen's situation, and they all knew that Cao Pi's feelings for her basically didn't have much reservations. I think that the beauties in the harem will not be less attacking the Zhen family.

It is impossible to say for sure that Guo Guifei did not participate in this wave of attacks, but judging from her personality, she is by no means the most energetic one in the attack (perhaps, with a few words from her, Yasai is heavy**).

After all, attacking a person will hurt others, but it will also leave Cao Pi with the impression of narrow-mindedness.

It is impossible for Guo Guifei, who has come over in the political struggle, not to understand this, so no matter what the purpose is, she cannot be the backbone of this reputation-defaming activity.

…… ……

In June of the second year of the emperor's reign, the frustrated Zhen "complained", Cao Pi was furious when he learned about it, and sent an envoy from Luoyang to the old palace of Yecheng where the Zhen family lived alone, and gave Zhen his death and ordered his body to be buried "covered with hair and stuffed with chaff".

Cao Pi's murder of the Zhen family has always been believed to be that someone slandered Zhen Luo in front of Cao Pi, and the biggest suspect in this case is Queen Guo.

Judging from the history of Empress Guo, she will not be the first person to harm the Zhen family, but she has replaced the position that the Zhen family deserves, so others (including the people of the dynasty, the historians of the past dynasties, and the current people. It's you and me, would you have such thoughts? And he just pointed the finger at her.

And it is normal for the women of the harem to say bad things about their opponents for favor.

It is certain that the concubines will speak ill of Zhen, but they will never slander Zhen in front of Cao Pi all day long.

After all, the time that the concubines can spend with the emperor is limited, and they are more likely to try their best to capture the emperor's heart, and they will not have much real time to say bad things about others.

Zhen was finally given death, the main reason is that Cao Pi no longer has much affection for him.

Literati of all generations loved beauties, and Zhen happened to be a stunning beauty, and those literati have always liked to attribute this kind of guilt to the harem to compete for favor, and they must find a woman to bear the blame.

Therefore, Queen Guo was arranged to be the first offender to slander in front of Cao Pi and then kill Zhen.

In the third year of the early Huang Dynasty, Cao Pi officially proposed to canonize Queen Guo as the queen.

Zhonglang Zhan dived up to persuade him, but Cao Pi did not listen, and on the Gengzi Day of September in the third year of the Huang Dynasty, Guo was appointed as the queen.

Queen Guo became the first reigning empress of the Cao Wei Dynasty.

Since then, the wrestling between Zhen and Queen Guo has come to an end: with Zhen's death and Queen Guo being promoted as queen, it has come to an end.

Queen Guo - No, Queen Guo, can you breathe a sigh of relief from now on?

No, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, I can't say when the tiger next to me will be beastly, turn his head sideways, and bite off your little neck with a sip - for this, our Queen Guo knows very well in her heart.
