As the last feudal dynasty on the Korean Peninsula, the Lee dynasty existed for more than 500 years and had 27 kings, among which only one of these kings was King Sejong, who invented Hangul.
However, compared to King Sejong, Lee's Joseon is more famous, or in 500 years, there were 4 demon girls, although it is not as direct as the ancient demon girls on the mainland to destroy a dynasty, but the things that have brought disaster to the country and the people have not been less, I have to say that the 4 demon girls in Lee's Joseon have not died directly in the country, which can be regarded as their luck.
Today, let's introduce these 4 famous demon girls in the history of Lee's Joseon!
1. Zhang Lushui, who fornicated in the court
Zhang Lushui's father was a two-class nobleman, who was a liberal arts student and a county magistrate during the Chengzong period, and Zhang Lushui was the daughter of a sinister concubine.
In the history of Joseon, the two classes were a family of eunuchs. But although Zhang Lushui is the child of an official eunuch, he is not a nobleman.
Unlike the mainland, although Confucianism was also admired in ancient Korea, except for the royal family, the social status of children obeyed the matriarchal system, and only the son was valued by the mother, and no mother was valued by the son.
Zhang Lushui's biological mother is a cheap concubine, so she is also a pariah, she can't call her biological father her father, she can only call her master, and she has to be a maid for her children.
If the children of the sinister family want to improve their social status, there are only three ways to go, one is to marry the same sinister son, and the husband can compete for his own status, the second is to marry a high-ranking official as a concubine, and the third is to enter the palace to seduce the king.
But these three roads, no matter which one they take, they need the help of their biological father, and Zhang Lushui's father doesn't care about his children at all.
When he became an adult, Zhang Lushui sold himself to marry, and later remarried to a slave of the Dajun family of Qi'an.
She was unwilling to be a slave for the rest of her life and began to learn to sing.
She has a clear voice, can even sing in ventriloquism, plus a good-looking baby face, she is still like a cardamom girl in her thirties.
Her fame spread to the palace and was heard by the nephew of the Great King of Qi'an, that is, the Great King Yan Shanjun, who directly incorporated people into the harem.
Yan Shanjun fell in love with Zhang Lushui at first sight, and even staged a live spring palace with Zhang Lushui directly in front of the minister.
As soon as the most famous tyrant in the history of North Korea, Yeonsan-kun, saw her, he lost his temper.
Yan Shanjun indulged in Zhang Lushui's gentle township, rewarded her with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, land and farmland, and it was at this time that Zhang Lushui officially changed his name and became Zhang Lushui from Zhang Lushou.
Zhang Lushui stirred up the situation in the court, not only helped his sister get rid of her untouchable status, but also made her brother-in-law a petty official.
Yan Shanjun wanted to expand Zhang Lushui's home outside the palace, forced people to move, and killed many admonishing officials, and everyone in the court was in danger.
Not only that, Yan Shanjun and Zhang Lushui are both promiscuous people, Zhang Lushui often helps Yan Shanjun trick women outside into entering the palace late at night for Yan Shanjun to fornicate, and she herself also has a leg with the son of the court minister and the husband of the lord of Weng.
The court was miserable, and finally launched the "Zhongzong Anyway", abolished Yanshanjun, and beheaded Zhang Lushui.
Second, Zheng Lanzhen, who was born as a prostitute
Like Zhang Lushui, Zheng Lanzhen was also born in a bad family, and even her mother was a military prostitute, and Zheng Lanzhen also worked as a prostitute.
But unlike Zhang Lushui, Zheng Lanzhen's man was not a king, but a powerful minister from a relative at that time, Yin Yuanheng.
In 1545, the young King Myeongjong ascended the throne, and his mother, Queen Wending, listened to the government.
In order to control the government, Yin Yuanheng directly launched the Yisi land disaster and got rid of the other party's forces, during which Zheng Lanzhen was sent to the palace to help Yin Yuanheng promote Queen Wending's secret decree.
Yin Yuanheng had an original wife, who was the daughter of the ruling court, Jin, and he persuaded Queen Wending and King Mingzong to agree to let him divorce his wife, help Zheng Lanzhen to be the main room, and obey her.
Jin did not return to the Jin family, but was imprisoned in the Yin family by Zheng Lanzhen, and it is said that later, when she was hungry and fainted, she begged Zheng Lanzhen for food, and was poisoned by Zheng Lanzhen.
Zheng Lanzhen also likes power and wealth, she helped Yin Yuanheng recruit power and bribes, and even plundered the people's food, even if the food was fed to the fish in the river, not to the people who were about to starve to death.
In the Joseon Dynasty, when food was scarce and people often starved to death, it was a heinous crime.
The main reason why Zheng Lanzhen won the title of a demon girl is that she was born as a prostitute, but she turned into a powerful minister, had improper relationships with many ministers, and even committed adultery with her husband's nephew.
After the death of Queen Wending, Yin Yuanheng lost power, the husband and wife were exiled, and Yin Yuanheng's original family of the Jin family wanted Zheng Lanzhen to pay for his life, but was stopped by King Mingzong.
Later, there was a righteous forbidden mansion passing by their place of exile, Zheng Lanzhen misunderstood that this person was here to arrest him, and committed suicide by taking poison, Yin Yuanheng knew the truth, and actually chose to die with Zheng Lanzhen, it is difficult not to sigh.
3. The powerful Jin Jieshi
The name Jin Jieshi is embellished, and if translated literally into Chinese, it should be called "Jin Dog Poop", which is the daughter of a standard pariah, and both parents are from untouchables.
However, Jin Jiesh was very lucky, her mother remarried Liu, she followed, and her mother was favored, so that she also followed the chicken dog to heaven, and was directly sent to the palace and became a palace maid.
In the harem of the king of Joseon, although there are also various concubines, the palace maids are basically the king's women, and Kim Jieshi was favored by King Seonjo and made Seungeun Sanggong.
However, the royal family of North Korea was also chaotic enough, at that time, the prince of North Korea was Gwanghaejun, and his concubine Liu actually recommended Kim Kai Shi to have an affair with her husband, and Jin Jieshi served the father and son at once.
It is said that Jin Jieshi's appearance is average, but the room technique is very strong, so that both father and son fall under her pomegranate skirt.
After Gwanghae-jun ascended the throne, Jin Jie's favored the harem, and even the Liu family, who was the mother of the middle palace, could only succumb to her, and I have to say that this one also lifted a stone to hit his own feet.
At that time, Jin Jieshi was not only in charge of all the expenses of the palace, but she even had to intervene in Gwanghae-kun's intercourse, and Gwanghae-kun had to get her consent to anyone he wanted to sleep with, and the people in the harem all scolded her.
But Jin Jieyu always pays attention to maintaining the power of Gwanghae-kun, she would rather be a Shanggong for the rest of her life than have an official name in Gwanghae-kun's harem, which can be regarded as maintaining his reputation.
Jin Jieshi is known as a demon girl, in addition to serving the father and son, but also because she colluded with foreign ministers.
In fact, during the reign of Guanghaijun, basically all the palace maids colluded with foreign ministers, and history said that they "competed for favors, recruited power and bribes, formed their own courts, supported the party, and sold their official positions and prisons".
It's just that this one is particularly powerful, and in alliance with the most powerful Li Erzhan in the court, even Guanghaijun can't control her, and the court, it can be said that she can control Guanghaijun.
North Korean demon girls basically love to commit adultery with other men, and Kim Jie-is no exception, she maintains Gwanghae-kun's face, but she doesn't love him much, Gwanghae-jun can only be regarded as a pawn in her power.
Jin Jieshi and his niece and son-in-law have a leg, and this niece-in-law has a direct step to the sky because of the help of Jin Jieshi.
She has personal affairs with many ministers in the DPRK and China, and Gwanghaejun also knows about this matter, but the right to speak of the king of North Korea is really easy to be hollowed out, and he can't control these things at all.
Later, someone in the court united with the clan to "support the West Palace" and launched the "Renjo Anyway", and the rebels attacked the palace and directly arrested Jin Jieshi, who was worshipping the Buddha at the time, and beheaded him on the spot.
Fourth, Zhang Yuzhen, who ascended to the back seat
Among the four Korean demon girls, Zhang Yuzhen's background can be said to be the highest, and she is a second-class Chinese, and her ancestor is Zhang Anshi, a famous minister of Goryeo.
In the early days of the founding of the DPRK, Zhang Anshi was always invited to join the DPRK as an official, but Zhang Anshi refused, otherwise, Zhang Yuzhen would be a noble girl in two classes.
Zhang Yuzhen's father was a translator, and her cousin often traveled between the Qing Dynasty and North Korea to do business, and was the richest man in North Korea at that time.
Later, Zhang Yuzhen's richest cousin was involved in the "Three Blessings Change", and Zhang Yuzhen was punished into the palace as an insider, and was appreciated by Queen Zhuang Lie because of her good looks.
After the death of King Suzong's Queen Renjing, Suzong favored Zhang Yuzhen, and his biological mother was dissatisfied with this, not only found him the queen of the middle palace again, but also threw Zhang Yuzhen out of the palace.
Queen Renxian, as the mother of the middle palace, has never had an heir, and after knowing the affair between Suzong and Zhang Yuzhen, she thought about taking Zhang Yuzhen back to the palace.
After the death of Su Zong's biological mother, Zhang Yuzhen was recalled to the palace by Queen Renxian, and she never imagined that this was a living king of Yama.
Zhang Yuzhen was pampered and arrogant, trespassed many times, ignored the palace rules, and had a very poor relationship with Queen Inhyun.
Queen Renxian even wanted to find someone to share favor with her, but failed, but let the other party rise step by step in the harem and was named Concubine Xi, so Zhang Yuzhen is called Zhang Concubine in the history books.
Zhang Yuzhen began to form a party in the court for personal gain, cultivating her own power, Suzong was very good to her, and when she met those who wanted to deal with her, Suzong would take matters into her own hands, and Queen Renxian was deposed because of this.
Suzong vigorously activated the southerners, drove out the easterners who supported Empress Inhyun, and even killed a number of important ministers in the court, and Zhao Shixi, as a westerner, also parted ways with Zhang Yuzhen.
Suzong sent people to the Great Qing Dynasty to ask for Zhang Yuzhen's title, and the Kangxi Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty agreed to this matter, making her the first woman in Korean history to ascend to the throne as a Chinese.
Zhang Yuzhen was complacent, and wantonly excluded dissidents in the court, and was finally rejected by Suzong because of old age and decay.
Suzong began to suppress the southerners, Zhang Yuzhen was threatened, trying to wipe out the Westerners, and was directly recognized by Suzong, Zhang Yuzhen and his people were exiled, and those who gave death were given death, and Zhang Yuzhen also fell off the throne.
Queen Renxian returned to the palace, Zhang Yuzhen was quite dissatisfied with this, and directly found someone to do witchcraft, after Queen Renxian died of illness, this matter was exposed, Su Zong gave Zhang Yuzhen to commit suicide, and said that Zhang Yuzhen was the same as the wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and could not stay.
Since then, there has been a new rule in the Joseon royal family, and harem concubines can no longer be promoted to queen.
Now, Lee's Joseon is long gone, and the only heir from orthodox background is named Takaya Momoyama, who has completely become a Japanese, which can't help but make people sigh.
