Is Cao Zhi having an affair with Zhen Fu? What happened to Luo Shen Fu?

For a long time, people in the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi and his son, have been drawn into a complicated network of relationships, especially Cao Zhi's poem "Ode to Luoshen", which makes people feel that Cao Zhi has an affair with his sister-in-law. But we also know that Cao Zhi's identity is first and foremost a literati, and his literary talent is always more famous than his identity as "the son of Cao Cao". Many people may not understand the thinking of literati. So, is there love between Cao Zhi and Zhen Fu? What is the reason for writing Luo Shen Fu?

If you are surprised, if you are Youlong. Glorious Autumn Chrysanthemum, Song Chun, Hua Mao ... When it comes to the famous poem "Ode to Luo Shen", most people will think of the sad love story between Cao Zhi and Zhen Shi, and the complicated relationship between Cao Zhi and Zhen Shi. No wonder the original name of Luo Shen Fu is Gan Zhen Fu, the tragic death of Zhenshi, the attitude of Cao Pi and his son to Cao Zhi, and the fact that Zhenshi, who is four or five years older than Cao Pi, seems to be closer to Cao Cao in age, all of which make this anecdote in troubled times more interesting. Because Luo Shen is called "Fu Fei", Zhen Shi, a woman who didn't leave her name in history, also has the most popular name: Zhen Fu.

Whenever Zhen Fu is mentioned in film and television dramas, there is always such a bitter feeling-Zhen Fu is estranged from Cao Pi because he admires Cao Zhi in the Military League, while Zhen Fu and Cao Zhi are more affectionate in the TV series Luo Shen. But is the story behind Luo Shenfu really like this? Not necessarily.

In 222 AD, that is, the third year of Cao Wei and Huang, it has been three years since Wei Wendi Cao Pi abolished Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie. His throne has long been firmly established, but his younger brother Cao Zhi is miserable. As the biggest challenger to the imperial power, Cao Zhi was closely watched by his brother. This year, Cao Zhi finished his congratulations in Luoyang, the capital, and returned to Juancheng, the eastern fief. When he passed Luoshui, the mother river of Luoyang, he suddenly felt a strange connection. He saw a goddess in the river and was full of thoughts. He wrote a poem "Ode to Luoshen" entitled "If you are surprised, if you are a dragon".

However, at first, Cao Zhi's long poem was not called Luo Shen Fu, but Gan Zhen Fu, and it was this Pearl Krabs that made Shan Li, a scholar in the early Tang Dynasty, dig out a "shocking secret": it turned out that the Luo Shen Fu that Cao Zhi yearned for was his sister-in-law, Cao Pi's wife. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, people who sympathized with Cao Zhi kept gossiping about the legend that Cao Shi brothers fell in love with a woman at the same time, until today.

The fact is that Zhen Fu died at the moment when Cao Zhi was electrocuted by Luo Shen. Zhen Damei was originally the daughter-in-law of Yuan Shao, a powerful man in the late Han Dynasty. Before she got married, she established her idol status-the dream lover of all men in the Eastern Han Empire. After Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao's family in succession, Zhen Fu became a priceless prisoner. Soon, she remarried to Cao Pi. Unofficial history also said that xelloss can win back the beauty because of his father's style of giving up what one favours. This may be a more arrogant historical association. Anyway, trees are difficult to verify. Only one thing is certain. In terms of age alone, Zhen Fu should be similar to Cao Cao, because Xelloss is four or five years younger than Zhen Fu.

In the second year after Xelloss proclaimed himself emperor, Zhen Fu failed in the cruel struggle for favor in the harem and was given death by Xelloss at the age of 39. Her opponent is a tough character named Guo. After Zhen Fu became cannon fodder, this woman became the queen of Cao Wei. Supposedly, even if Zhen Shi was nearly forty years old, he would not be so old as to be shocking. More importantly, she is regarded as a virtuous woman and a high-quality beauty who is excellent in all aspects. Cao Pi didn't know what kind of instigation Queen Guo gave him, so he was very painful. Besides, when Zhen Fu died, she looked terrible, with long hair and chaff for pigs in her mouth, just like a female ghost.

What is embarrassing is that the goddess was actually degraded into a female ghost. Her death, and the tragic situation after her death, are somewhat strange. It seems that there are some palace secrets hidden, not historical mysteries, but also easily made into historical mysteries. In addition, Cao Zhi was also involved in this muddy water. Shortly after Zhen Fu's death, he wrote this so-called "Feeling Zhen Fu", which made this case more bloody. I don't blame Shan Li of the Tang Dynasty for scratching his heart and reading those elegant things.

In fact, after Cao Zhi's "Gan Zhen Fu" was published, his younger brother Cao Pi didn't respond at all. If, as Shan Li said, Cao Zhi once had feelings for his sister-in-law, then Cao Pi may have to put a knife rest around his neck and ask him to write a new "seven-step poem" after reading his brother's masterpiece. To say the least, even if Cao Zhi only sympathizes with his sister-in-law's misery, he will be severely retaliated by his brother. The emperor's family affairs do not allow others to have a say. What's more, Cao Zhi himself is a special person who can best touch Cao Pi's nerves. Even when Cao Zhi stood on the bank of Luoshui River and gave full play to his poetic talent, his brother's spy might be hiding not far away, watching Luoshen with him in a daze.

In the final analysis, Cao Zhi is just suffering from the common problems of literary youth. When the reality is not satisfactory, he looks for ghosts and gods to express his grief and indignation. In the past, he was also very beautiful, and Cao Cao once wanted to teach him. But he didn't cherish the poet's mania, didn't play cards according to common sense and didn't strictly carry out military orders, so Cao Caocai eliminated him from the team of successors. Although Cao Cao and Cao Pi are also poets, fortunately, they are more capable of singing and dancing, but father and son are politicians first.

Cao Zhi is different. He often forgets that he is the son of Prime Minister Cao. When Zhen Fu married Xelloss, Cao Zhi was only thirteen years old. At that time, Cao Zhi should not be as affectionate as the legend. Later, with the struggle between him and his brother on the table, it was even harder for him and his sister-in-law to be as poetic as future generations hoped. But history is always bizarre. After Xelloss's death, Zhen Fu's son Cao Cao became emperor. He felt that there was a "truth" written by his uncle Cao Zhi, and it was changed to "Luo Shen" just like his mother's surname.

Unfortunately, Wei Mingdi's painstaking efforts are once again inevitably understood by later generations as shattered glass. Coincidentally, Wei Mingdi kept his uncle's Cao Zhi at a respectful distance from others, and never reused it again, just like his father's Cao Pi. Wei Mingdi seems to have unspeakable dissatisfaction with his uncle, which readers can make full use of and imagine.

There is another saying that after Zhen Fu received the death order, Cao Pi had a dream, and then he invited a famous warlock to explain the dream. The fortune teller said that this dream indicates that a lady will die unjustly on earth. Hearing this, Xelloss realized that Zhen Fu shouldn't have killed him, so he immediately withdrew his power of attorney. Unfortunately, it's too late. Zhen Fu is dead. Cao Pi not only believes in this illogical thing, but also is said to have personally written anecdotes full of nonsense. Don't, xelloss is bewitched by the fortune teller, even his own "secret" have any clues, to his wife Zhen Fu pain killer?

Zhen Fu in history, like most women in ancient times, had no name, only surnames. Cao Zhi, the goddess of Luohe, deliberately explained in the Fu that it originally meant a daughter of Fuxi who drowned in Luoshui and became a goddess, and was also regarded as Fu Fei. So after the "Luo Shen Fu" spread through the ages, Cao Zhi's sister-in-law had the name of Zhen Fu. Or, simply linked to the concept of "Luo Shen", Zhen Fu was later called Luo Zhen.

Fuxi's daughter was promoted to "Luo Shen" and was remembered, largely moved by Cao Zhi's masterpiece. So much so that it is very confusing whether Luoshen came first or Zhen Fu, the wife of Xelloss. Wonderful, history, literature, legends, ghosts and gods, the prediction of dreams, the wonderful interpretation of Tang people, and so on, blended with each other in just visiting and fermented into the most stirring past of Cao Wei family.

Today, Cao Zhi, the prince of Cao Wei, has been dead for almost 1800 years, but as long as people read the Fu of Luo Shen, they will still be tempted to confuse Zhen Fu with Cao Cao and his son. If you add Zhen Fu's son Wei Mingdi Cao, there will be four heavyweight men. As for who the Luo God in Cao Zhi's works is, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Cao Cao's four men are all top poets except politicians. They left such rumors because of Zhen Fu's illusion, which is not an insult.
