Guo Nvwang, like Luo Zhen, is also a wife and sister in the relationship between husband and wife. She was born in Zhong Ping (184) on March 1st, two years younger than Luo Zhen and three years older than her husband Cao Pi. Guo Nvwang's father, Guo Yong, was the prefect of Guanzhinan County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. She is among the brothers and sisters of three men and two women.
It is said that she has a distinctive behavior since she was a child, so she is highly valued by her father, saying that she has the bearing of "the king of girls", so besides her maiden name, she also took the word "queen" for her. Guo Nvwang's girlhood was much luckier than Luo Zhen's, and she spent it in exile.
In the Yellow turban insurrectionary, her parents and brothers died unfortunately, and she herself was reduced from a young lady of an official family to a handmaid of a bronze marquis. Later, as a gift, it was given to Cao Pi by the owner. Although she was only a concubine born as a handmaid, Guo Nvwang's cleverness and wisdom quickly attracted the attention of Xelloss and made her stand out.
Luo Zhen's cleverness is more manifested in his family, while Guo Nvwang is more original than Luo Zhen. She has the wisdom to participate in political struggle. In the process of Cao Pi and his brothers fighting for Prince Wang Wei, Guo Nvwang put forward many ingenious suggestions for her husband. Therefore, Cao Pi can finally win and finally claim the title of emperor, and Guo Nvwang should play an important role.
Therefore, it goes without saying that it is inevitable for Cao Pi to move on, and what is worse for Luo Zhen, who is almost forty years old, is not just Guo Nvwang, who is also not young.
In the year of Huang San (222), Cao Pi formally proposed to be queen. But in Wei and Jin Dynasties, China valued his family background most. Therefore, Cao Pi's proposal was immediately strongly opposed by many ministers. They think that the queen must come from the family. Besides, Guo Nvwang was born as a maid and concubine, which is the base of the base.
As a concubine born as a handmaid, Guo Nvwang is not worthy to be the first wife. After learning the content of this paper, I made a formal thank-you letter to Cao Pi, saying, "I don't have the moral integrity of my concubine, and I don't have the personality of Jiang and Jiang. I really don't have the honor to be a queen and can't take charge of the royal family."
At that time, the cautious attitude of Guo Nvwang, a noble woman, further strengthened xelloss's determination. Despite the strong opposition of ministers, he was finally crowned queen on Gengzi Day in September of Huang San. After becoming queen, Guo Nvwang was very capable. She obeyed her mother-in-law, Empress Bian, and she was famous for her filial piety, even exceeding it. She is also considerate to the harem concubines.
On May 4th, seven years in Huang Chu, Cao Pi, who was only 40 years old, fell ill in Jiafu Hall in Luoyang. Before he died, he sent Shu Yuan and the concubines in the harem below Zhao Yi back to her family to remarry, and finally decided to make Cao Rui his heir. Because Guo Nvwang was over forty at that time, it was no longer the golden age for childbirth, and childlessness was a foregone conclusion, so Guo Nvwang adopted Cao Rui and devoted a lot of love to this adopted son.
Cao Rui also showed considerable filial piety to his adoptive mother, greeting her daily life in the morning and evening. After xelloss's death, Cao Rui became Wei Mingdi. Acceded to the throne on the fourth day of the month, your mother-in-law Bian was the Empress Dowager Tai and your foster mother Guo was the Empress Dowager Yong 'an Palace. Ten days later, he made his biological mother Luo Zhen the queen of Zhao Wen.
After Cao Rui acceded to the throne, he was also very filial to his adoptive mother and helped the Guo family many times. Guo Nvwang, who became the empress dowager, is still frugal and still strictly controls his spouse. However, it didn't take long for the mother and son to be happy. Since childhood, Cao Rui has been worried about his mother's death and always wanted to investigate the cause of hysteria. In the end, all the accusations point to Guo Nvwang, who replaced Luo Zhen as queen.
Cao Rui naturally bears a grudge against the foster mother, and can't find any real evidence, so she repeatedly cried and asked Queen Mother Guo how her mother died. Guo Nvwang didn't see Luo Zhen's killer, but she was the biggest beneficiary of Luo Zhen's death, so she couldn't clear her name. Cao Rui flew into a rage, flank stand up.
In March of the third year of Qinglong (235), Queen Mother Guo was finally forced by her adopted son Cao Rui and committed suicide. He is 5 1 year old. It is said that Luo Zhen entrusted Cao Rui to Li Furen's care before being poisoned by her husband. After the death of Queen Mother Guo, she told Cao Rui that xelloss refused to show kindness and did not honor her because she was framed, so she was buried with her hair covered and her mouth stuffed with chaff.
Cao Rui listened to this, but also sad and angry, and ordered the Queen Mother Guo to be buried. Guo Nvwang died like this, but Cao Rui had the courage to force his adoptive mother to death, but he didn't have the courage to tell the world. He only dares to secretly direct buried officials. In front of the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty, he also wanted to be a dutiful son and solemnly do his duty for Queen Mother Guo.
