A brief introduction to the life of Cao Pi's queen Guo. How did Guo die?

Guo (1April 8, 84-1April, March 235) was born in Guangzong, Anping (now Guangzong County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, she was the daughter of Guo Yong, the satrap of Nanjun County, and the queen of Cao Pi, the founding emperor of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms. Gong Weishi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, entered Wendi East Palace.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jian 'an (220), Wendi ascended the throne and was named as the wife (rank queen). In the same year, Wei Zen became a noble woman (after the rank). In the year of Huang San (222), he was made queen.

In the seventh year of Huang Chu (226), Emperor Wendi died, and Cao Cao, king of the Plain, succeeded to the throne and was honored as the Empress Dowager. In the spring of 235, the third year of Qinglong, he died in Xuchang at the age of 50. Buried in Shouyangling, Luoyang, posthumous title, "Empress Wende".

Violent collapse test

Pei Songzhi's supplementary notes quoted Wei Lue and Han Shu Jin Shu Chun Qiu. Ming Di acceded to the throne to investigate the death of her biological mother Zhen Shi, and Empress Dowager Guo collapsed with anxiety. On his deathbed, Zhen Shi entrusted Ming Chengzu to Li Furen, who told Ming Di that Zhen Shi was slandered and his body was covered, and Ming Di let his mother die like Zhen Shi. Another way of saying it is that when Ming Di asked Guo Hou about Zhen Shi's death, he was angered by Guo Hou's words and was forced to kill Guo Hou, making the funeral Zhen Shi's death.

Zhao Yi thinks that Notes on Twenty-two Histories is invalid and that Hanshu, Jinshu, Weishu, Chunqiu is self-contradictory. It has been nearly nine years since he acceded to the throne and died after Guo. If he wants to complain, how can he wait so long? It is a rumor that it is forced to die. Chen Shou's "Queen Mother's Collapse" is recorded in Ming Di Ji and Guo Houzhuan, but the murder process is unknown. After Gaizhen's death, it was a practical matter, so the book was handed down; Guo Hou's forced death is a rumor, so it can't be circulated.

In the Jin Dynasty, Yan Yuan took it as an example in a letter to avenge the deposed Prince Sima Yu, saying that he served his mother with all his heart after the death of Emperor Wen, and became famous all over the world, which is still praised by the world. In the recent Western Jin Dynasty, beggars' gangs are generally believed to have done good things after Guo. There is a brief mention of the death of Guo Hou in Kaiyuan Zhan Jing: "In the first month of the third year, the Queen Mother Guo suddenly died of illness." There is also a saying in Cao Cao's Mourning Book that "disaster comes from the mouth". This may be the origin of the rumor after Cao Cao killed Guo.
