During the Eastern Han Dynasty, foreign relatives and eunuchs alternated in power, and the courtesy of the monarchy survived in name only. Among the foreign relatives, Liang Ji's name is very large, not because of how much he has done, but because of his arrogance and cruelty. He had three emperors and poisoned one. If this is the case with the emperor, it is even more inappropriate for his colleagues and the people. However, such a powerful minister was actually afraid of his wife to death.
This powerful woman is called Sun Shou, who not only looks beautiful, but also dresses up. In history, there are many beautiful women who can dress up, and Sun Shouniu is a cow, and he manages his husband obediently.
The rhetoric describing beauty in the history books is basically the same, not much new, but Sun Shou's beauty is unique. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty clearly says: "Shou is beautiful and good for the demon, making frowns, crying makeup, falling into a ponytail, bending the waist, laughing caries, thinking it is charming." ”
That is to say, Sun Shou is not only beautiful, but also has a charming demon. The Eastern Han Dynasty Taishan Taishou Ying Shao wrote the Book of the Later Han Dynasty to further elaborate on these five flattering attitudes:
Sad eyebrows are drawn thin and twisted eyebrows, showing a worried look; "crying makeup", which is to make up under the eyes, showing a crying look, I am afraid that it is the same as the current tearful makeup; "falling into a pony", is to tilt the bun to the side, as if it has just fallen from the horse, to show laziness; "caries laugh", that is, to laugh like a toothache, so that people and I can see pity.
What is more absolute is the "bending waist step", walking like the wind swinging willow, waist and limbs as if to break the look, which not only requires a good figure, but also should be a lot of training, similar to the modern model's "cat step".
The average beautiful woman is either heroic or gentle as jade, but which one has these five flattering attitudes? It is precisely because of this that Liang Ji loves his wife to death, and it is because of love that he is afraid of his wife.
How afraid of his wife is Liang Ji? When Liang Shang was still alive, he once presented a beautiful woman named Youtong Period to Emperor Shun of Han. However, after making a small mistake in the palace, Emperor Shun of Han returned her to the Liang family. Because he was a person who had served the emperor, the cautious Liang Shang did not dare to stay at home and was ready to send him to a distant place to marry.
It was at this time that Liang Shang died, and Liang Ji took over the position of general. During the mourning of his father, he secretly cohabited with Yu Tong. This incident let Sun Shou know, and the world was turned upside down, Sun Shou first led the slaves to capture Youtong Period, and then set up a private court, cut off her hair, and slashed her face several times.
After doing this, she was not afraid of her husband's anger at all, but instead threatened to enter the palace to report and expose. When Liang Ji learned of this, he was so frightened that he ran to Sun Shou's mother to prostrate himself and apologize. In the end, it was the mother-in-law who interceded, and only then did she hide the matter.
Later, Liang Ji continued to communicate privately with Youtong and gave birth to a son, Liang Boyu. Sun Shou was furious and instigated his son to kill Youtong Period and kill Liang Boyu. In the face of the tragic death of his beloved woman, Liang Ji, who was usually a blessing, did not dare to say a word, fortunately, he took precautions in advance and hid Liang Boyu in the mezzanine of the wall of the wall, only to avoid a disaster.
The history books say that Liang Ji was "a man with a shoulder jackal and a hole in the eye", which means that his shoulders are as high as a bird, and his eyes are fierce like wolves. He didn't look very good, was that why he bowed his head to his wife, who was like a flower and a jade, and who was very attractive? Although this explanation does not make sense for General Liang, who wants the wind to get the wind and the rain to make the rain, there is no better reason.
Liang Ji not only raised his own concubines for fear of being caught, but even did not dare to speak out when he was wearing a green hat. There was originally a boy in his family, Qin Palace, who served as a "prisoner slave", that is, a housekeeper. Liang Ji admired him very much and recommended him as the "Taicang Order". However, Sun Shou admired him even more and had an affair with him! (Shoumi-miya, Emperor of the Folding Screen, entrusted with words and deeds, because of and private affairs)
The history books also do not record whether Liang Ji discovered this matter, but Sun Shou, as a female streamer, can still discover Liang Ji's deeds, and there are so many people under Liang Ji, is there no gossip at all?
What is even more incredible is that Liang Ji controlled the government and vigorously promoted the Liang family, and people talked about it a lot. In order to show a humble gesture, Liang Ji followed Sun Shou's advice and removed many people from their official positions. In addition to his attitude, he also awarded the vacancy to Sun Shou's family. In this way, the Sun family actually became a foreign relative among foreign relatives.
Logically, Liang Ji's power in the Eastern Han Dynasty was only greater than that of cao cao later. Liang Ji's cruelty was also unique in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but he did not know the exact reason, but he always loved and feared this wife with knotted hair.
