Why are their tombs connected? Cao Cao and his beautiful daughter-in-law Zhen Shi really had an affair.
Later generations also put forward different opinions on the burial place of Cao Cao. One view is that Cao Cao's mausoleum is located in Lingzhi Village, 5 kilometers south of Tongquetai. In the fifty-second year of Qianlong (1787), the official history of Zhang De clearly indicated that Wei Wudi Mausoleum was located in Lingzhi Village, and its south was adjacent to Chaoyang Mausoleum after Zhenguan Dynasty. After Zhen, it was Cao Pi's wife Zhen. She is the wife of Yuan Shao's second son Yuan. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and entered Yecheng, Xelloss beat him to Fu Yuan, saw his beauty and married her. After Zhen Shi fell out of favor, he was given death by Xelloss and buried in Yecheng. Why is Cao Cao's tomb connected with his wife's tomb? There are some stories in the middle. It turned out that Cao Cao had heard about the beauty of Zhen Shi before attacking Yuan Shao, but his son Xelloss beat him to it. As a father, how can you take away the beauty of your son? Besides, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were contemporaries. If they married a daughter-in-law, wouldn't it make people laugh! Although Zhen Shi has married his son, his father is still alive. The relationship between Cao Cao and Zhen Shiyin is really delicate. As for whether they have an affair, I dare not judge, but from the analysis of some phenomena, it seems that we can find some clues. According to the biography of Kong Rong in the Later Han Dynasty, Kong Rong was born in a noble family and was the grandson of Confucius in the 20th century. He was unknown and arrogant, and was finally killed by Cao Cao. The most important reason is that Kong Rong wrote a letter to Cao Cao. In his letter, he ridiculed Cao Pi's Zhen Shi as "King Wu cut Zhou and gave da ji to the Duke of Zhou". Cao Cao didn't understand what it meant, so he asked. Kong Rong replied: "This is a matter of course." This "insulting remark" exposed the shame of Cao Cao's family, because Cao Cao has always regarded himself as Zhou Wengong. Hearing this, Cao Cao thought that Kong Rong was talking about himself, so in a rage, he dropped Kong Rong's head on the ground. There is another basis, that is, Cao Pi's performance. When Cao Pi married Zhen Shi, he loved her very much, but when Cao Cao died, he immediately snubbed her. According to Shu Wei, Zhen Shiyin said something that he was dissatisfied with xelloss's new favorite. Cao pi was very angry when he learned about it, and he abused it in every way. Finally, he wrote an imperial edict, poisoned it and made her commit suicide. Zhen Shi doesn't drink poisoned wine, and the Guo family, xelloss's new favorite concubine, stuffed bran into her mouth, forcing her to drink poisoned wine while breathing, and poisoned her. In addition, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi called his father's concubines for his own pleasure. Once, Cao Pi was ill, and his mother, Queen Bian, went to visit him. When she opened the curtain, she saw the women sitting beside Cao Pi's bed, all of whom were close-fitting maids before Cao Cao died. The Queen Mother asked in surprise, "When were these people called to your room?" Cao Pi replied, "I called them as soon as my father died." There was no trace of shame on his face when he spoke. When the Queen Mother Bian saw this, she said angrily, "If you do this, even dogs and mice will not eat you when you die!" From these two points, it seems that Cao Cao had an affair with Zhen Shiyin, which led to the death of Kong Rong and the revenge of Xelloss. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this scandal of Cao Cao that the literati in the Qing Dynasty deliberately painted the graves of two people together. Of course, this is just a bold assumption and has no factual basis. Another view is that Cao Cao's tomb is in the "Cao Jia Dui" in Qiao County, his hometown. In the fifth issue of 199 1 Scenic Spots, an article entitled "Talking about Cao Cao in Wei Wu's hometown" was published. The article holds that the solitary pile of Cao family is the tomb of Cao Cao for three reasons: First, the Book of Wei Moon Hee records: "The Sino-Japanese War (220 years), the six armies and Shu Ren were in Yidong." "Bozhou Records" contains: "Father and emperor are lucky, and they are happy for their elders. They set up an altar and a monument in front of their hometown. " Cao Cao died in the first month of that year and was buried the next day. If he was buried in Yecheng, why didn't Cao Pi (Wei Wendi) go to Yecheng and go back to his hometown? Explain that the purpose of Cao Pi's trip is to commemorate his father Cao Cao. Secondly, Shu Wei also said, "Bing Shen is a relative of the ancestral temple." Qiaoling is an isolated pile in Caoshi, 20 kilometers east of the city. Cao Cao returned to his hometown at the age of 3 1 and built a refined house here. Cao Pi was born here in 187. Therefore, Cao Pi's sacrifice to the tomb has two meanings: one is to remember the place where he was born, and the other is to sacrifice to the tomb of the former king. Thirdly, Bozhou has a huge cemetery of Cao Cao's family, including the graves of Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng and his father Cao Song. The tomb of Cao Xian, the eldest daughter of Cao Cao, was also found here. To sum up, Cao Cao's tomb should also be here. But this statement has many flaws. One of the obvious mistakes is to take Cao Pi's several sacrifices as evidence to prove that Cao Cao's mausoleum is in Bozhou. In fact, the sacrifices made by emperors in past dynasties are not necessarily just for ancestor worship, but more for ancestor worship. For example, after Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, proclaimed himself emperor, he sent officials who knew Feng Shui to his birthplace, Sizhou, to build a mausoleum for his great-grandfather, great-grandfather and great-grandfather. Therefore, Cao Pi's memorial service is only an activity to worship ancestors, which does not prove that Cao Cao's tomb is here. As for Cao Jiazu's tomb here, the statement that Cao Cao's tomb will be here is even more pale and powerless. Faced with the embarrassing situation that "Cao's tomb is nowhere to be found", later generations can't help sighing that "deceiving heaven before death and deceiving others after death", and have a deeper understanding of Cao Cao's treachery. In fact, this is only one aspect of the problem. From another point of view, Cao Cao was thrifty all his life, and it is undoubtedly of positive significance in history to advocate and personally practice "thin burial". Cao Cao lived in an era of frequent wars and social unrest, and he had to use secret methods to deal with the aftermath. Moreover, this method not only protects itself, but also makes many grave robbers feel at a loss again and again, in vain. In this sense, Cao Cao is very wise. More than a thousand years have passed since Cao Cao was buried, and the real tomb of Cao Cao has not been found yet. Maybe people will never find it
