It is said that there is a knife on the head of the color character, but if the beauty is in front, most men are still difficult to resist, during the Ming Dynasty, there was such a lustful emperor, after ascending the throne, not only did not put his mind on the government, but was bent on pleasure.
To this end, a special palace was even built, and the subordinates were ordered to collect beauty for him from all over the states. In fact, being able to accompany the king's side can also be regarded as a fortunate thing for the girls in the bridesmaids, but at that time, few people were willing to go to the palace to serve the emperor, what was in this palace?
Play too hard
The name of Zhengde Has Been Broadcast... Peaceful life is mighty and peaceful, and Yongzhen is a thousand years old. This poem is written by Emperor Mingwu Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao was born in 1505, because his mother was Empress Zhang, and since birth, his status has been higher than that of other princes.
When he was two years old, it was because his father was extremely fond of Empress Zhang, and out of love for Wu and Wu, Zhu Houzhao was also rightfully made crown prince.
In fact, after Zhu Houzhao, Empress Zhang also had a child, Zhu Houwei, but unfortunately, for some reasons, the second son died early, leaving only Zhu Houzhao as a child. Perhaps because of this, the emperor and Empress Zhang at that time doted on Zhu Houzhao unusually, but Zhu Houzhao himself was also extremely contentious, and the things taught by the teacher were often quickly remembered, so that the memorized scriptures were also absorbed quickly, and sometimes even one could even give an example, and the vision and insight were very unusual.
During this period, the ministers in the imperial court were also very optimistic about the young prince, but because the prince was too young to participate in the affairs of the imperial court, Zhu Houzhao spent most of his time playing together in the eight parties led by Liu Jin. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming died at the Qianqing Palace at the age of 36, and Emperor Mingwuzong, who was only 15 years old, took the throne and changed his era name to Zhengde First Year.
After becoming emperor, Ming Xiaozong naturally enjoyed it. At every turn, he would set up a feast, otherwise he would take the little eunuchs outside to play around and relax himself. And all this was in the eyes of the ministers at that time, it was really not doing the right thing, doing something wrong, and sure enough, it did not take long for a letter that seemed to be worried, but was actually a letter of advice.
But at this time, Emperor Mingwuzong was young and competitive, and this kind of tickling advice could not be listened to at all, and he should still eat, drink, and go out from time to time to ride and walk horses, and the ministers in the court were in a hurry. Zhu Houzhao was so smart when he was young, did he really not understand the responsibility and responsibility of being the emperor?
It's not, it's just that in contrast to busyness and leisureliness, people always tend to be more likely to reach things, plus Zhu Houzhao made this kind of move at that time, and there is another person who has been pushing behind the scenes, this person is Liu Jin.
Fueling the wave
The so-called near Zhu Ze chi, close to the ink black, now with Zhu Houzhao's status, there are no people who dare to point at his forehead and scold him. In order to find fun for this little emperor, Liu Jin came up with novel ideas that came up with endless ideas, and Zhu Houzhao was also quite concerned about this sensible little eunuch.
Later, it was proposed to simply build some buildings imitating the streets in the palace directly, so that the emperor could play role-playing in it, and later felt that it was not too addictive, and simply imitated those fireworks and willow places, so that the palace women played the top card.
Over time, the little emperor also became an adult, and gradually understood some of the fun between men and women, and he was even more unable to extricate himself from the first taste, indulging in it day by day.
During this period, the group of upright officials left by his father persuaded and persuaded him, but to no avail, and later they could only be persuaded by the empress dowager, and finally even came up with an idea for Zhu Houzhao to start a family as soon as possible. Anyway, you have to take a concubine, it is better to be earlier, Zhu Houzhao may be able to understand things faster. Who knew that Zhu Houzhao had already been overwhelmed, knowing the expectations of everyone, but he was the opposite.
Later, Zhu Houzhao, under the lure of Liu Jin, built a palace in the Tailiu Pond outside the Xihua Gate, and set up secret rooms in the box rooms on both sides, which was the leopard room.
The cost of building the leopard house was extremely large, in five years, almost 240,000 taels of silver had been spent, and Zhu Houzhao was still not dead hearted, and wanted to build more than two hundred boxes. Every day, the Ministry of Finance is crying that the national treasury is about to run out, and Zhu Houzhao is still unmoved and still insists on building.
Indulge in eroticism
Zhu Houzhao is good at riding and shooting, but also good for treasures, in fact, the original use of the leopard room, that is, to store some rare treasures, and raise a few leopards, which is also the origin of the leopard room.
For a while, Zhu Houzhao also thought about working hard, but it was always three minutes of heat, there was no result not to say, and he felt that he was tired, and he needed to find some beauties to reward himself, and gradually, the use of this leopard room changed its taste.
The ministers who wanted to persuade the emperor were either reprimanded or simply dismissed, and later no one was willing to take this risk to persuade, and most of them could only turn a blind eye. And Zhu Houzhao is also a three-minute heat for these beauties, and today you and I will lose interest tomorrow. Later, at Liu Jin's suggestion, the people at the bottom began to take the initiative to find beautiful people for Zhu Houzhao, as young as eleven or twelve years old, as old as eighteen or so, all of them were young and beautiful girls.
But Zhu Houzhao still felt that it was not enough, when he went to the minister's house for dinner, he inexplicably looked at the minister's concubine, and even asked the minister directly for it, the same as a man, and this was not reasonable, the minister refused Zhu Houzhao's request, but Zhu Houzhao was angry on the spot, the minister had no other choice but to send the concubine, Zhu Houzhao was still not afraid, the minister called the little sister who was already married, and offered it together, Zhu Houzhao left happily.
And these girls staying in the leopard room, in addition to eating and wearing worry-free, live a day that does not see the light of day, without any name, not to say, even the rights are nothing, for Zhu Houzhao and those servants, these women are no different from the leopard, they are just the emperor's favorite items, not even people, sometimes even forced to appreciate the bloody scene of Zhu Houzhao training leopards, deeply afraid that they and the leopard will fall into a fate.
As soon as the matter spread, the daughters in the family were eager to marry their daughters as far away as possible, the emperor looked at the ministers like this, also lost interest, began to put their own goals in the people, the next people from time to time to the street to look for beautiful women, encounter good-looking, ask and do not ask, directly take away, time for a long time, all on the road to hear the two words of leopard room, the girls will hurry away, as if they have encountered some flood beast.
epilogue
In a play, Zhu Houzhao did not listen to the advice of the next person, had to play what fisherman, but unfortunately fell into the water in the middle of the way, fell ill, returned to the palace still did not have any restraint, continued to have fun with beautiful women, coupled with these years of indulgence, and finally died in the leopard room in 1521, reigning for sixteen years, at the age of 31. Ben was the best time of his life, but in the end he could only lie alone in the palace.
