author:Shi Hai listened to Ray

It is said that the Chinese emperor has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, and three thousand harem beauties, and indulging in such a gentle township is indeed the life of the "Son of Heaven". Among the absurd emperors of the past, there are those who like to play "double flying" and those who like to engage in mixed-sex battles, but in one night, they can spoil more than 30 concubines, and it is estimated that no one can have such a fierce sexual function as this fierce man, and this person is the sixth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Duzong Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu, whose original name was Zhao Mengqi, was the nephew of Emperor Lizong of Song. His mother was a humble concubine in the RongWang Zhao and Rui mansions, so she was often bullied by Princess Zheng, and when she was pregnant with Zhao Yu, she was even drugged and forcibly aborted, but fortunately she was born strong in the end, but because of the influence of the drug, Zhao Yu was frail and sick after birth, and would not walk until she was seven years old, and would not speak until she was seven years old. Because Song Lizong was childless at that time, he was extremely fond of Zhao Yu's nephew and intended to train him to be the heir to the imperial throne.

In the first year of Jingding (1260), Zhao Yu was made crown prince and moved into the Winter Palace, officially becoming the first candidate for the imperial succession. In October of the fifth year of Jingding (1264), Song Lizong died, and the 25-year-old Zhao Yu took the throne, and the following year changed his era name to "XianChun", known as Song Duzong.

After Zhao Yu ascended the throne, seeing the precariousness of the Southern Song Dynasty regime and the gradual approaching of the Mongol army, he also thought about making great efforts to govern, and introduced a series of powerful policies, such as ordering officials at all levels to actively advise and point out the shortcomings of the imperial court in order to improve, but there was no obvious effect.

When Zhao Yu saw this, he suddenly lost the ambition he had when he first ascended the throne, so soon after he handed over the state's military aircraft to the traitorous minister Jia Xiangdao, and the matter of approving the recital was also handed over to the four favored concubines who were known as spring, summer, autumn and winter, and he himself held banquets in the harem every day, drinking and having fun with many concubines, and was absurd.

Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the emperors in order to reproduce more heirs for the royal family and vent the pressure of managing state affairs, so in terms of bed affairs, they are basically "night and night", that is to say, in the emperor's night life, a concubine is required to serve every night. Although Zhao Yu was physically sluggish and had no ability to govern the country, he was more powerful than any emperor in Chinese history in terms of bed affairs.

According to the "Continuation of the Zizhi Tongjian Song Ji" compiled by Bi Yuan during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, "The emperor himself is the crown prince, and he is good at hearing from within; Standing, lingering on the color of wine. The story, the concubine enters the palace, the morning gate is thankful, and the lord writes his moon and day. And at the beginning of the emperor, more than thirty people gave thanks in one day. The meaning is that when Zhao Yu was still the crown prince, he was a very beautiful person, and even after he became emperor, he was still addicted to wine. According to the rules of the palace at that time, the concubines who had been sleeping the night before had to go to the gate of the cabinet the next morning to thank the emperor for their kindness, and let the responsible eunuch record the detailed date of the bedchamber for the next day. However, when Zhao Yu first ascended the throne, one morning, he found that more than thirty concubines had come to the door of the cabinet at the same time to thank the emperor for his kindness and records.

From the above passage, we can see that overnight, more than thirty concubines were favored by Zhao Yu, which was extremely shocking. "Dealing" with more than thirty wolf-like women in one night is appalling and rare in history. Later, some historians also felt unbelievable about this when they studied it, because according to the calculation of 12 hours a night, if Zhao Yu wanted to spoil 30 concubines, then everyone's time had to be controlled at about 24 minutes, and it was uninterrupted, was Zhao Yu's body really so different from ordinary people? When Zhao Yu ascended the throne, he was just twenty-five years old and was in the golden age of making love. Moreover, his ascension to the throne from his nephew, this joy of getting rich overnight, this kind of drifting at the top of power, is also very likely to arouse the lust in his bones. Power, in itself, is the best Viagra, coupled with the rotational stimulation of various aphrodisiacs, Zhao Yu is still credible to more than thirty people a day.

In July of the 10th year of Xianchun (1274), Zhao Yu died in the Funing Hall of Lin'an Palace due to excessive alcohol color. Two years later, in 1275, the precarious Song court surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. In 1279, with the suicide of Zhao Yu's eight-year-old youngest son Zhao Fu by jumping into the sea, the Song Dynasty, which had lasted for three hundred and nineteen years, was destroyed. If it were not for the premature death of the wine due to excessive wine, Zhao Yu might have become the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
