Is “Arresting Empress Fu and dragging her out of the wall chamber” true?
based on fact
The 'Anecdotes of Cao Man' records Hua Xin dragging Empress Fu out; however, the 'Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, Biography of Hua Xin' notes his lifelong frugality and purity, presenting a far more virtuous image than in the novel.
Hua Xin
In official histories, he is a noble, incorruptible, and highly respected minister, while in novels he is depicted as a treacherous official who coerced Empress Fu and flatteringly followed rebels.
