When Gao Wei reigned, there were more than 500 palace women in his harem, and these more than 500 palace women were all officially sealed by him, which can be said to be very absurd.
Gao Wei's empress was born as a maid, and because of her very beautiful appearance, she was made empress by Gao Weina. However, Gao Wei soon lost interest in the empress, and the empress offered her personal maid to Gao Wei for fun in order to stabilize her position.
This maid is Feng Xiaopi, who is intelligent and beautiful, and is also proficient in music. Gao Wei was very fond of Feng Xiaopi, and naturally he also made Feng Xiaopi a concubine.
However, the empress's move can be said to have lost her wife and folded the army, because Emperor Gao Wei not only did not reconcile with her, but on the contrary, Feng Xiaopi tied up the emperor with his own beauty, making the emperor even more estranged from her.
Feng Xiaopi became the new favorite of Emperor Gaowei, who asked Feng Xiaopi to accompany him when he traveled, and feng Xiaopi was also asked to wait by his side when eating.
What Emperor Gao Wei did even more excessively was that even the Shang Dynasty had to sit Feng Xiaopi next to him, and the two of them were not afraid of it, and they were also Qingqing and me above the court.
The ministers did not dare to look at Gao Wei, and when Gao Wei looked at the ministers like this, an idea arose in his heart that people could not agree with. He thought, Feng Xiaopi is so beautiful, then it is better to take it out and share it with everyone.
According to legend, Gao Wei asked Feng Xiaopi not to wear any clothes on the table at that time, and the ministers could have the opportunity to see Feng Xiaopi without clothes as long as they gave money.
But this is just a rumor, I don't know how true or false things are, but it is certain that Emperor Gao Wei was indeed absurd, and the idiom of "jade body horizontal Chen" is based on this rumor.
Emperor Gao Wei was so absurd that Northern Qi was destroyed at his hands, and Emperor Gao Wei was eventually killed. Although Feng Xiaopi escaped death because of Yu Wenda's love, Yu Wenda was later killed again, and Feng Xiaopi fell into Li Qian's hands.
Li Qian's mother could not tolerate Feng Xiaopi's scourge on her son, and finally chose to let Feng Xiaopi commit suicide, and a generation of beauties fell.
Ancient concubines were often the most envied existence of all women, because in people's impressions, their status was higher, and they had endless glory and wealth.
In ancient times, the living conditions of concubines had to rely on the emperor at that time. Some emperors took countless concubines, which made it possible that many concubines were not favored by the emperor until their deaths.
In the harem, the status is low, others will naturally not treat you well, and the treatment will be poor, so some concubines end up depressed in the harem for life.
If you encounter some violent emperor, the concubine may become a plaything, perhaps treated roughly, or insulted by the emperor.
And Gao Wei is an emperor who has countless concubines and only wants to have fun all day.
Gao Wei gave people the impression of being absurd, and one of the things that could reflect his absurdity was that he sat with his concubines when he went to the court, and there was no emperor at all.
The historical period in which Gao Wei is located is the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which can be said to be one of the most chaotic periods in Chinese history, with frequent wars in various places and multiple dynasties at the same time, many of which are small dynasties that do not survive long before perishing.
The emperors who appeared during the Southern and Northern Dynasties can be said to be very numerous, but most of these emperors did not have the ability to govern the country, but on the contrary, they were better at having fun.
Emperor Gao Wei was such an emperor, he indulged in fun, trusted the traitors, killed the loyalists, and single-handedly succeeded in bringing down Northern Qi.
