Historical Information
Lady Zhang Changpu was orphaned at a young age when her parents died she married Zhong Yao sometime around 16-18 years old. she is roughly the same age as Zhong Yao's eldest son Yu. she was extremely bright, being trained in a lot of classics on philosophy, poetry, and history. she even had her commentary on the Yijing though it has been lost. around 225 when she was pregnant with our lord and savior Hui she came into conflict with Zhong Yao's prime wife, lady Sun. lady Sun was jealous, petty, and vengeful. she often brought harm to the other wives, whether with actual violence or slander. lady sun was afraid that the birth of a new child would put Zhang Changpu into favor over Sun who had given Zhong yao two sons (and perhaps a daughter, though lady Zhong's mother isn't confirmed if i recall), and so she poisoned Zhang Changpu's food one day to force abortion. lady Zhang found out before she ate it and spat the food out, however she did pass out fall seriously ill. she remained in bed for 10 days while attendants begged her to speak with Zhong Yao and tell him what had happened, however, lady Zhang knew this is what lady sun wanted. so instead of going to him she simply remained in bed. outplaying lady sun worked out as lady sun figured lady Zhang had already gone to tell Zhong yao what had happened, but when ladu sun accused lady zhang being of a lair zhong yao was puzzled. lady sun claimed lady zhang was slandering her, and what she put in the food was a poison to make sure lady zhang had a son. zhong yao was furious with this, calling her actions  inhuman . he spoke with lady zhang and marveled at her brilliance for outplaying lady sun. was then divorced and lady Jia become the prime wife. there is also another part of this story that says Cao Pi accused zhong yao of simply divorcing lady sun because he wanted lady zhang, and so he swallowed some kind of pepper to make his teeth chatter so he was not able to answer. this is not true since we see that zhong yao did not make lady zhang his wife, but in fact, made lady Jia his wife. etiher way, zhong yao and zhang changpu took on a shared role in raising little zhong hui together. when zhong yao passed away in 230 when Hui was 5, lady Zhang become his primary teacher. she trained him in all the Classics from Analects to the Yijing, including studying his fathers' commentaries. she also trained him in calligraphy. during the rebellion of Sima Yi against Cao Shuang;s regime in 249 Zhong Hui was actually with Cao Shuang and the Emperor, and so several minister including Wei Guan, one of Zhong Hui's friends spoke with lady about this. they asked her why she wasn't worried, and lady Zhang remarked that Cao Shuang had this coming, stated that Sima Yi hadn't used heavy guards so this would last long and she also said since he was at the Emperor's side harm would never befall him. she was completely right. in year 257, she passed away and Sima Zhao was instructed by Empreor Cao Mao to pay for all of her funeral expenses.
