Today, our society is very open. To what extent? Young men and women doing unspeakable things on campus, on the side of the road, in the woods, and even in public are just jokes. At most, it is a two-sentence comment, shameless and uneducated. However, in ancient times, when feudal etiquette was very strict, some women could directly shatter your three views.
Empress Dowager Hu: It's better to be a queen than to be a prostitute
It is said that the empress of Gao Zhan, the fourth emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was called Empress Hu, and this empress was an extremely dissolute and promiscuous woman. Although she was the empress, after Emperor Gao Zhan inherited the throne of his brother Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang, he began to occupy his brother's wife, Empress Li Zu'e. Originally, Gao Zhan coveted Li Zu'e, but Li Zu'e was the queen of her brother Gao Yang, Gao Yang died of illness and Gao Zhan ascended to the throne, now Gao Zhan completely ignored Queen Hu and mixed with Li Zu'e every day.
And Gao Zhan's queen Queen Hu stays alone in the empty room all day long, lonely and cold, slowly changing the three views of this nominal queen. Seeing Emperor Gao Zhan living happily day and night, Empress Hu couldn't help but get involved with Gao Zhan's favorite retainer and Shikai. He Shikai can freely enter and leave the palace, and he sings with Queen Hu day and night. The biggest problem is that Emperor Gao Zhan pretended not to know about his empress and his favorite ministers and scholars, and he didn't know if it was a face problem or a problem, so he turned a blind eye anyway. Gao Zhan died of excessive fornication, and now Queen Hu became even more unscrupulous, and finally made a fuss known to everyone in the government and the opposition.
Gao Yan, the king of Langyu, could not bear the fornication of Empress Dowager Hu (Gao Zhan's son succeeded to the throne as emperor) and sent people to attack and kill He Shikai. King Langyu originally thought that if he killed He Shikai, Empress Dowager Hu would restrain herself. But who would have thought that the Empress Dowager Hu, who liberated her nature and let go of herself, have no and Shikai, but she is just one less friend. Empress Dowager Hu soon hooked up with a monk named Tan Xian, and the two often did things in the temple's meditation room.
After the matter was revealed, Emperor Gao Wei executed the monk Tan Xian and his apprentices, and imprisoned the Empress Dowager Hu, who was imprisoned until the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou. After the surrender of Emperor Gaowei at the end of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the men, women and children of the royal family were escorted to Chang'an by the Northern Zhou. The Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty killed the men of the Northern Qi royal family on the charge of treason, and all the women left behind were released to the people to fend for themselves.
was imprisoned for many years, and became a slave to the country, Empress Dowager Hu was released to the people, and the lewd worm was on the brain again. took his daughter-in-law Mu Huanghua (the queen of Empress Dowager Hu's son Gao Wei) to join the Qinglou and did a job of selling himself. Just imagine, the two queens of the previous dynasty opened a brothel, and the attraction was very huge, so the rich people of Chang'an City came in an endless stream to patronize the two queens of the previous dynasty. Empress Dowager Hu quickly made a lot of money, and the key is that this feeling of being able to experience different fish and water with different men made Empress Dowager Hu very satisfied, because she was no longer constrained and oppressed by the strange eyes of the emperor and ministers. So Empress Dowager Hu said the famous saying: "It is better to be a prostitute than to be a prostitute, it is more fun" ("Romance of the History of the North and the South" Chapter 79). Of course, this sentence is said in the novel. In the official history, it is only recorded that Empress Dowager Hu was very lewd and devoted herself to prostitution in Chang'an, and she was very happy to be a prostitute.
A man can have three wives and four concubines, why can't I have five men and six pets
In Chinese history, in all powerful dynasties, women were more unrestrained in their clothing, such as the bandeau dress of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know if the Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Qi Dynasty had an impact on the women of the Tang Dynasty, but Wu Cao really practiced the purpose of Empress Dowager Hu's liberated nature.
I don't know if it's because of Li Zhi's illness or what's the reason, anyway, Wu Zetian's normal physiological needs can't be met. After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he started his strange life of raising male pets. There is no detailed record of how many male pets Wu Zetian raised, but there are names and surnames such as Xue Huaiyi, Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Zongchang and others. Moreover, the two Zhang brothers entered the palace of Wu Zetian at the age of 76. The ministers of the DPRK and China objected one after another, but Wu Zetian insisted on doing so, and he could not persuade him.
Wu Zetian, as the only empress in Chinese history, engaged in male pets and fornication in the harem, although she was said to be the emperor, but under the feudal system of etiquette and religion, Wu Zetian's behavior was very deviant at that time. Because although she was the emperor, she was first and foremost a woman, so the woman did this kind of behavior, which made the ministers at that time despised. It's just that Wu Zetian is in power, a generation of empresses, and others dare not talk about her private life.
Should I say it or not, Empress Dowager Hu had a private meeting with a monk in the temple, and let the handsome young monk pretend to be a nun to serve herself, I don't know if it gave any inspiration to the rulers of the Tang Dynasty, and the concubines who had no heirs after the emperor's death wanted to become a monk, and let Wu Zetian go to the temple to be a nun. Li Zhi summoned Wu Zetian to his side from Ganye Temple, which shows that ancient temples were also used for fornication.
The Queen Mother who described her bed to foreign envoys
When it comes to women's fornication, sometimes I even suspect that they never felt a shame. For example, the woman I want to talk about below, she was able to talk about the details of her and her husband's bed in front of foreign envoys.
In 307 BC, King Huai of Chu sent troops to surround the Yongshi of Korea, and the Chu army was quite helpless in the siege of Korea, and never retreated. King Han sent people to Qin for help many times, but Qin Guoxuan's Empress Dowager Miyue refused to send troops on the grounds that Chu was his mother country. The Korean envoy Shang Jin said that he would take advantage of the stakes and believed that the Chu State would destroy Han and would inevitably unite the six states of Shandong to attack Qin. Empress Dowager Xuan said: When I served King Qin Huiwen, the king pressed his thigh on my body, and I felt physically tired and couldn't bear it. And when he pressed his whole body against me, I didn't feel any weight because it was more comfortable for me. The state of Qin wanted to help Korea, and if the troops were insufficient and the food and grass were insufficient, it would not be able to save Korea. Rescuing Korea from danger costs thousands of dollars every day, so what good will it do to me and the Qin State?
If it is said that the Empress Dowager Xuan just told the foreign envoys about her bed in the public that she had ruined the three views and lost the ethics of the empress dowager of a great country, then the adultery between the Empress Dowager Xuan and the king of Yiqu had to be said. In the era of King Huiwen of Qin, Qin had a grudge with the Six Kingdoms in the east and Yiqu in the west, which can be described as making enemies on all sides. In 318 BC, Yiqu participated in the battle of Gongsun Yan and the five kingdoms of Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei and Yan to attack Qin. After the death of King Huiwen of Qin, the Qin royal family competed for power and profit, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin succeeded to the throne at the beginning, and the situation in Qin was unstable. There are three strong enemies in the east, and there are righteous canals behind them. In order to stabilize King Yiqu, Empress Dowager Xuan had an affair with King Yiqu and gave birth to two children. In 272 BC, Empress Dowager Xuan booby-trapped the king of Yiqu in Ganquan Palace.
Speaking of Empress Dowager Xuan Miyue, when she was in Chu State, she was already married and had children. And Empress Dowager Xuan's mother Miyue also married and married, so she has her half-brother Wei Ran. With such a family background and her own experience of many marriages, Empress Dowager Xuan is well versed in the affairs of men and women. The key is that Empress Dowager Xuan is very addicted to men and women, and in her later years, Empress Dowager Xuan doted on her husband Wei Choufu very much, and wanted to let Wei Choufu bury her after death, so that she could continue to fornicate over there.
As a result, Wei Choufu didn't want to give Empress Dowager Xuan a funeral, so he asked Yongrui, the minister of Qin, to lobby Empress Dowager Xuan for him. Yong Rui first asked Empress Dowager Xuan if she could perceive things in the world after her death, and Empress Dowager Xuan replied that she couldn't. Yong Rui went on to say that since people don't feel anything after death, why do you put your loved ones to death? If the dead were really conscious, then the former king would have hated the queen mother for cheating. Queen Mother, you can't make up for your mistakes, how can you have a personal relationship with Wei Choufu? Yong Rui's meaning is very straightforward, that is, if you go over there and have sexual intercourse with your mistress, your husband King Qin Huiwen will never let you go.
Yong Rui said that the Empress Dowager Xuan
And Zhao Ji, the biological mother of Qin Shi Huang in the later generation of the Qin State, her adultery with Lü Buwei and Chang Yu was no different from that of Empress Dowager Xuan. If Empress Dowager Xuan's fornication with King Yiqu was for the safety of the Qin State, then Zhao Ji's fornication was purely for her own sensory stimulation. The place where Zhao Ji lived was the Ganquan Palace where the Empress Dowager Xuan, King Yiqu and Wei Choufu had fornication. Like Empress Dowager Xuan, Zhao Ji had adultery with Chang Yu and also gave birth to two children. Qin Shi Huang's generation of male lords, how could they tolerate such an ugly thing and kill Chang Yu's father and son. Perhaps because of Empress Dowager Xuan and Zhao Ji, Qin Shi Huang did not establish a queen throughout his life, because the queen/queen had too much power, and the harem was too stimulating and blowing.
Epilogue:
There are many women who have destroyed the three views in history, but the deeds of several ancient women mentioned in this article who have destroyed the three views are particularly prominent, because they are recorded by the official history, so they are more reliable. They are more representative because they are either queens, queens, or even emperors. It is often said that adultery kills people, and ordinary women who engage in adultery can kill people. These women, like those mentioned in this article, fornicate because of the blessings of power, which are often more difficult to accept. The most important thing is that this kind of character fornication and destruction of the three views often causes greater disasters and large-scale bloodshed. Therefore, only by having a knife on the head of the color word, headed by all evils and fornications, and adhering to the correct three views, can you become a healthy person.
