Will the emperor favor one person, there are still many such examples in Chinese history, such as the historical Tang Xuanzong favor yang guifei. Emperor Mingxian favored Wan Guifei. But those who are exclusively favored, and who have masochistic tendencies, in Chinese history, the first thing that comes to mind is the Southern Qi Xiao Bao scroll during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > the son of the mouse- Xiao Baohuan</h1>
Xiao Baojuan, the second son of Xiao Luan, died early and was raised by Concubine Pan. He has been stuttering since he was a child, and his speech is not clear, so he does not like to talk to people very much, and his personality is somewhat withdrawn, but one of the hobbies he is particularly good at is to catch mice, often taking a group of small eunuchs in the palace, looking for mouse holes everywhere, digging three feet into the ground to catch mice. And her ears are particularly sensitive, often can hear the movement of rats, but also often all night long to catch mice, really suspect that he is cat caregiver. This persistent momentum of catching mice is estimated not only in China, but also in the world's emperors, he ranks second, and may not be able to find the first.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > not bad for a spoiled concubine</h1>
In addition to Xiao Baojuan's love of catching mice, he also has a biggest hobby, which is to fool around with his favorite Pan Concubine.
Pan Yu'er, also known as Pan Yunu, whose original surname was Yu and was named Nizi, was originally a trick of Sima Wang Jingze. Because of his appearance, he was included in the palace by Xiao Baojuan and was deeply favored by Xiao Baojuan, Xiao Baojuan's crown prince Xiao Shu's biological mother Huang Guifei died very early, and Xiao Baojuan asked Pan Yu'er to raise Xiao Shu and make Pan Yu'er a noble concubine.
Later, Pan Yu'er gave birth to a daughter for Xiao Baojuan, but unfortunately died just one hundred days after birth. In order to appease the sad Pan Yu'er, Xiao Baojuan tried his best. Doesn't people say that women love two kinds of flowers the most, have money to spend, and spend them casually. This is a joke today, and there is also a certain psychological truth, and Xiao Baojuan has long been well versed in this principle. In order to coax his own concubine, Xiao Baojuan is absolutely willing to spend money, anyway, the country is his, how to spend, no one dares to say more. Speaking of losing your head, your cousin, uncle, cousin, and minister of life, those who have some status and are about to be killed by him one after another.
Pan Yu'er's eating and wearing degree, everything is the best, especially the costumes and utensils, are all rare products, so luxurious, so that the old items in the treasury are not enough. However, it is easy to use, and it is easy to buy, Xiao Baojuan sent people to buy private gold and jade treasures at a high price, and the price was several times higher than the normal price. Spending money like water, the emperor's small treasury is not enough to spend.
The harem serves the royal family, chooses the rare, and the old things in the treasury are no longer used. Your citizen Jinbao, the price is several times. Jiankang wine rent is discounted to make the loss, still can not be enough - "Zizhi Tongjian , Volume 143"
What to do if the money is not enough to spend, Xiao Baojuan also let people convert all the liquor taxes in the capital Jiankang (Nanjing) into silver money and hand them into the official treasury, which is not enough. The bridges, ponds, dams, and Ding gong in Yangzhou and southern Xuzhou were all folded and silver, and handed over to the government treasury for the expenses of the harem, so that the ponds and ditches in various places were all destroyed, and the people paid money to serve in the army.
In order to get more money to cover the huge expenses of the palace. Xiao Baojuan came up with many creative tax projects. For example, the people who pay taxes pay tribute to the chicken head, white crane feathers, egret feathers, etc., such amassed wealth in the hundreds, endless.
Zizhi Tongjian Vol. 143: Pheasant heads, cranes, and egrets were also ordered.
In the third year of Yongyuan (501), a fire broke out in the palace, and more than 3,000 palaces were burned down. Xiao Baojuan was not only not distressed, but very happy, why? The old don't go and the new don't come. With a grand-sounding reason to rebuild the palace, Xiao Baohuan built a large number of civil engineering and built palaces such as Fangle, Fangde, Xianhua, Daxing, Hande, Qingyao, and Anshou. And also built three halls for Pan Yu'er, immortality, eternal life, and jade shou, and the golden and brilliant, like a fairy. All the decorations, inscriptions, spirit beasts, sacred birds, wind and clouds, and torches are not gold or silver, and even the treasures are not enough, so the old things in Jiangdong are demolished, such as the jade nine-son bell of the Solemn Temple, the Buddha's face in the foreign temple, and the various treasure earrings on the pagoda of the Zen Ling Temple, all peeled off for decoration in the Pan Yu'er Hall.

Xiao Baojuan may be strange because of stuttering, and the appearance of Pan Yu'er makes him even more absurd. When they went out to play, he let the beauty sit on a comfortable palanquin where they could lie down and sleep, but he rode on his horse, and followed him like a retinue, and he did not care even if everyone was talking about it.
Pan Yu'er was born in the city, she liked the noisy fireworks of the market, Xiao Baojuan in order to let her relive her old dreams, specially set up a market in the palace, selling meat, wine and groceries, and started a small business with care. In order to truly reproduce the life of the city, Xiao Baojuan used thousands of palace people.
He made Pan Yu'er the manager of the market, while he himself acted as the small leader of the urban management and enforced the fines. If there is any dispute, it is up to Pan Yu'er to decide. If anyone was slightly negligent, Pan Guifei would hand him over to the guards to blame. Xiao Baojuan occasionally made small mistakes, and Pan Yu'er unceremoniously hit him with a stick. It really hurt, but he never got angry with Pan Yu'er, but secretly ordered the samurai not to use their staffs and solid poles when they hit.
These things of absurd little tyrants have also become the talk of the streets and alleys in the folk. The people made up a folk tune for this purpose: "Reading the Martial Hall, planting willows, supreme slaughtering meat, Pan Concubine drinking wine." "Pan Yu'er met Xiao Baojuan, which can be described as smelly. This pair of living treasures is a rare phenomenon in Chinese history, where concubines enslave the emperor, and the emperor is still happy in it. For the pet concubine really did it as a cow and a horse.
And in the middle of the city, the palace people and eunuchs were all prostitutes, with Pan Guifei as the city order, and dongxiao Hou himself as the city recorder, and the concubines and the staff;
The so-called one person gets the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, Pan Yu'er's family, but also follow her indulgence, the prestige runs rampant, her father Pan Baoqing and a group of villains jointly perform poisonous schemes, in order to seize the rich family's house assets, they often falsely accuse the prey he looks up to.
Concubine Pan was unrestrained and mighty. Father Baoqing and Zhu Xiao conspired to commit adultery and poison, the rich people were falsely accused of crimes, Tian Zhao was rich, and Mo Buqi begged- "NanShi Vol. 5, Qi BenjiXia V"
In the third year of Yongyuan (501), Xiao Baojuan, who had only been emperor for two years, finally used his own practical actions to toss the Jiangshan toss and collapse, and Xiao Yan of Yongzhou stabbed Shi Xiaoyan to rebel, Xiao Baojuan was killed, and later deposed and demoted to the title of Marquis of Dongxiao, at the age of 19.
At that time, Xiao Yan heard that Pan Yu'er was extremely beautiful and wanted to take her as a concubine, but was dissuaded by his subordinates for the reason of harming the country demon. Xiao Yan wanted to give her to the hero, pan Yu'er was humiliated, hanged herself, and finally, did not live up to Xiao Baojuan's favor for her. Pan Yu'er's suicide also made future generations seem to see the only flash of light left on them while hating the living treasures. Su Shi's sentence of the Song Dynasty, "The jade slave will not fail to live up to the Eastern Dusk", can also be regarded as giving her a positive evaluation.
Concubine Pan had the color of the country, and she wanted to stay there, so she asked Wang Mao, the leading general, and Mao Yue: "This thing of the deceased Qi is feared to be discussed by outsiders." "Nai Hanged him in prison, and cursed the courtier Ru Fazhen and others—Zizhi Tongjian Vol. 144
