Empress Wang (Cao Fang)

Empress Wang (王 皇后, maiden name unknown) was an empress of the Wei Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms. She was the third wife of Emperor Cao Fang Wei third.

She was a daughter of Wang Kui (王 夔), the manager of the imperial shipping. In the year 254 it was raised to the Empress, after Cao Fang his second wife Zhang for making false accusations against her father Zhang Ji (张 缉) had settled on the part of the powerful Sima Shi. It is not known whether she was an imperial concubine before.

That same year, thought Cao Fang to a coup against the Sima family. Although he did not carry out the plan came through the message. Sima Shi deposed him and degraded him to the Prince of Qi, the title he had held already in the reign of his father Cao Rui. What happened to Empress Wang, is unknown, although they probably received the title of Princess of Qi.
