Unsolved mystery ii. Whether Cao Cao is a loyal minister or a traitor is one of the most controversial figures in the history of China. He was the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Many people say that he is a thief named Han Xiang, and Cao Cao has the right to make friends with princes. But he didn't call himself emperor until his death. Cao Cao eliminated many forces such as Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and unified the north. It laid the foundation for a three-point world. For thousands of years, there has been no good conclusion whether Cao Cao is a loyal minister or a traitor. In a word, Cao Cao is an outstanding politician, strategist and writer.
Unsolved mystery 3. Battle of Red Cliffs's mystery grows on the Chibi River, and Dajiangdong has gone to the waves to find out all the historical romantic figures. Battle of Red Cliffs made Zhou Yu in the west, and Battle of Red Cliffs was a famous battle in the history of China. After this battle, Cao Cao did not defeat Sun Quan and Liu Bei. This battle has been greatly weakened, basically laying a three-point world pattern. But did Cao Cao in Battle of Red Cliffs really have an army of 830,000? I think it's a bit exaggerated, because the ancients loved to bluff, and Cao Cao's army would not exceed 300 thousand. Battle of Red Cliffs has been beautified in many literary works. It can be said that Chibi made Zhou Yu, and Battle of Red Cliffs may have been beautified as an ordinary battle.
Unsolved mystery 4. Why did Marten die? Ma Teng's father, Ma Chao, is a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fu Bo in the Western Han Dynasty. When Ma Yuan spread to Ma Su, Ma Su married Jiang Nv and gave birth to her son Marten. Ma Teng has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. When Cao Cao controlled the imperial court in the early days, Emperor Xian of Han sent an imperial edict to Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others to fight against Cao Cao together. After the incident failed, Marten returned to Xiliang to recuperate. After being lured into Beijing by Cao Cao, he was killed.
Marten returned to Xiliang after the imperial edict was exposed. Soon, Cao Cao called Ma Teng into Beijing [Xuchang] on the grounds of promotion. Ma Teng's three sons, Ma Chao, Matthew, Ma Tie and others think that it is bad luck not to enter the palace; My nephew Ma Dai thinks that Cao Cao has ulterior motives and it is dangerous to enter Beijing. Marten considered everyone's opinions and went to Beijing to see Cao Cao. Everyone in the Ma family thinks it's dangerous and must be careful. So Ma Chao, the eldest son, stayed in Xiliang, and Ma Teng led five thousand troops. Matthew, the second son, and Ma Tie, the third son, are pioneers, and Ma Dai is the pioneer. The brigade stopped at the outskirts of Xuchang, twenty miles away, and informed Cao Cao.
Cao Cao intends to send Huang Kui, the marching staff, to pick up Marten, lure him into the city to see the emperor, and then take the opportunity to capture Marten alive. He didn't know that Huang Kui hated Cao Cao in his heart, and Huang Kui clearly knew that Marten had participated in the murder of Cao Cao in the past. When they hold a party, they study each other. If it is not safe to enter the imperial court, they might as well ask Cao Cao to inspect the barracks and kill him. Marten consulted with Huang Kui, and Huang Kui went back to his room to rest after getting drunk.
Huang Kui has a beloved concubine named Chunxiang, who has an affair with Huang Kui's brother-in-law, Miao Ze. Chunxiang waited on Huang Kui that night, and learned from his half-drunk oral words that he would kill Cao Cao with Marten tomorrow morning. Chunxiang told Miao Ze that Miao Ze thought it was an opportunity to make a fortune, so he informed Cao Cao overnight. The next day, Cao Cao sent generals all around to besiege Marten and Xiliang soldiers, and Marten and Huang Kui were captured. The two insisted on being guilty, and Cao Yin and Chun Xiang testified. Marten cursed Huang Kui and said, I'm sorry for Confucianism! I can't get rid of thieves for my country, it's providence! Everyone was beheaded. The informer and Chun Xiang were also beheaded by Cao Cao, who thought it useless to keep this unjust person. Is the mink really gone?
Unsolved mystery 5. The mystery of Cao Rui Wei Mingdi's life. The first article of Mr. Jin's Talks on the Three Kingdoms is The Mystery of Father. In this article, Mr. Jin quoted an imaginative point of view-Wei Mingdi Cao Rui is not Cao Pi's own: Zhen Shi finally gave birth to Amindi, who can avenge his dead mother, but here leaves an interesting question, who is Ming Di's father? Later generations have been talking about this, because Zhen Shi was originally her ex-husband. This problem is not groundless, but has historical evidence.
Let's take a look at Wei Zhi? "Ming Di Ji": In the first month of the spring of the third year of Jing, "The Emperor collapsed in Jiafu, at the age of 36". If we push it from the third year of Jing to the thirty-sixth year, our birth year should be nine years of Jian 'an, but Cao Pi accepted Zhen Shi in August of the ninth year of Jian 'an. How did Zhen Shi give birth to Ming Di? If Cao Pi was really born, it should be ten years since Jian 'an. Pei Songzhi once said: "Wei Wu decided to take power in August of the ninth year of Jian 'an, and after Emperor Wen's enlistment, Ming Di should have been born in the first month of this year, that is, thirty-four years. At that time, the new moon will be corrected and December of the previous year will be the first month of this year, which may be thirty-five years, but not thirty-six. Neighbor Mao Heting's Jiuzhai Diary therefore said, "It's Yuan's blood." . "Lu Bi's Collection of Records of the Three Kingdoms also said:" Stealing the article about Cheng Zuo (Chen Shou) is really a song. The reader of history will deduce the year and month, and the certificate will be given by Mrs. Zhen, and Wei Mingjiu will not be an heir. It goes without saying whose son Yuan Zhong (Cao Rui) is. "
What Lu means is that he knows that he should be thirty-five, but now he writes "thirty-six", which is deliberately implying to readers that he is a descendant of the Yuan family.
Mr. Mao Heting is a famous scholar in modern times, and Lu Bi, the author of Records of the Three Kingdoms, enjoys a high reputation in the academic circles of the Three Kingdoms. Both of them think that it is not Cao Pi's own son, but the son of Zhen Shi's ex-husband, Yuan, and their judgment is obviously authoritative. However, because there is not enough historical data to support this view, it is not conclusive. In the final analysis, it's just a "family statement." Teacher Jin also mentioned another point at the end of the article.
Why don't we mention Wei Zhi again? The related records of Cao Rui knighthood in A Record of Emperor Wen: In May (the first year of Yankang), the son of heaven ordered the king to chase the ancestor Qiu, calling him "Tai Wei", and his wife called him "Tai Huang" and named him "Hou Wude".
We know that Cao Pi's twenty-five years of rebuilding An was the first year of Yankang. This year 1 1 month, he forced Emperor Xian of Han to meditate and change to Huang Chu. Therefore, the twenty-five years of Jian 'an, the first year of Yankang and the first year of Huang Chu were in fact the same year, that is, Cao Rui was named Wu Dehou in the first year of Huang Chu (AD 220), when Cao Rui was fifteen years old.
However, the chronology of Cao Rui's death at the age of 36 shows that he was named Wudehou in the 22nd year of Jian 'an (AD 2 17), which was similar to that of Wei Zhi? The record of Wendi is three years short. Isn't it Wei Zhi? "Is it wrong?
We know that Cao Cao, as a Wang Wei, has not died in the twenty-two years of Jian 'an. Prince Xelloss has not been knighted except for the five senses corps commander, and even Xelloss has not been knighted, so it is obviously impossible for his son Cao Rui to be knighted as Wu Dehou. On the contrary, if in the first year of Yankang, xelloss succeeded to the throne as Wang Wei, chasing ancestors in the name of a fake emperor, and sealing his son at the same time, it is a natural thing, "Wei Zhi? The relevant records of Wendiji should be accurate.
Unsolved mystery 6. The mystery of Li Yan's conviction has been entrusted to orphans many times in the Three Kingdoms. Li Yan was the only minister who failed in the struggle and was not killed. This is very lucky, and it is also related to Zhuge Liang's generosity. Afterwards, Li Feng, the son of Li Yan, was hired as the official of Zhuti (Zhuti County was divided by Qianwei County). The History of the Three Kingdoms is a good history, but such a record is also quite suspicious, and the online debate is also fierce: Zhuge Liang has Li Yan's letter, how can he come up with such a naive and inconsistent plan? Therefore, Yi Zhongtian said in the "Three Kingdoms": First, Li Yan's criminal motive is unknown; Second, the modus operandi is poor; Third, there is only one side of the story. Tian Yuqing, a famous professor in Peking University, said in Li Yan's "Promoting the Use of Zhuge" that this is "too absurd and unnatural" and unlike what a famous person did, so he "suspected that there was another article" because there was no historian in Shu, and there were few historical materials. The record of Shu was the simplest in the History of the Three Kingdoms (Chen Shou, the author of the History of the Three Kingdoms, was from Shu, and if the historical materials were slightly rich,
