There is a word in Chinese folklore, of course, not a good word, called wearing a green hat. For this kind of thing, it is regarded as a great shame, but in history, a few women have actually put green hats on the head of the emperor.
The first was Empress Dowager Zhao Ji of the State of Qin.
Zhao Ji , a native of Handan, Zhao Guo, was a lowly singer of the Zhao Kingdom. It is said that one day Lü Buwei, who was still a businessman, went to the song hall to find fun, and he took a fancy to Zhao Ji, who could sing and dance, so he bought Zhao Ji back, so Zhao Ji became Lü Buwei's concubine. At that time, the national army of the Qin state was the grandfather of the Yiyi people, Qin Zhaoxiang, and the father of the Yiyi people, An Guojun, was still only a prince, and the Yiyi people were the hostages of the Qin state of Zhao Guo.
One day, When Yi Yiren went to Lü Buwei's mansion to drink, while drinking, he called Zhao Ji to dance to help him, and when Yin Yiren saw Zhao Ji dancing, his eyes were straight, and Lü Buwei had already seen all this. On the same day, Lü Buwei invited The Yiyi to stay in his palace, and the next day he gave Zhao Ji to the Yiyiren.
After An Guojun's death, with the help of Lü Buwei, Yi Yiren returned to the Qin state and successfully succeeded to the throne as King Xiang of QinZhuang. The first thing he did after succeeding to the throne was to set up Zhao Ji as the queen and bai Lü Buwei as the minister, however, the Yiyi people were not in good health and died within a few years, so the 13-year-old Yin Zheng succeeded to the throne, Zhao Ji was the empress, and Lü Buwei was the father, presiding over all the affairs of the Qin state, and Zhao Ji at this time was only in her thirties.
According to historical records, Lü Buwei entered and exited the harem in the name of his father, and even often stayed in the palace, saying that the relationship between Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji lasted in that year, but because Lü Buwei was older, he found a replacement person, that is, the famous false eunuch in history - Yan Yi.
Since this Concubine Yi was indeed very capable of dealing with women, slowly, Zhao Ji was like glue with him. But soon, they found that someone was obstructing their eyes, that is, Yingzheng, who grew up day by day. Zhao Ji thought that if she and Concubine Yi continued to hang out in the harem, sooner or later they would be broken by their son, so they moved into the palace not far from the palace to avoid people's eyes. So, for Zhao Ji's behavior, does Yin Zheng really not know?
For zhao ji and concubines, Yingzheng had actually been aware of it for a long time, but at that time, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but one day, he couldn't put it anymore. One day, Yan Yi drank too much wine and quarreled with a minister, and Yan Yi said, "I am the false father of the great king of your Great Qin Kingdom, and you have to listen to me." This sentence reached Yin Zheng's ears, and Yin Zheng talked to Yan Yi and warned him secretly. And when Yan Yi listened to Yingzheng's words, she thought to herself, Yinzheng is going to clean me up, it is better for me to do it first, so he gathered a group of Deadpool and rebelled, which was the "Rebellion of Concubine Yi" of that year, but for the heroic and mighty Yingzheng, it was just a farce, and Yan Yi was finally divided into five horses.
After cleaning up the palace, Yin Zheng sent people to search the palace, and two children were searched in the palace, and Yin Zheng ordered someone to directly throw the two children to death on the ground and locked up Zhao Ji. Although Zhao Ji was later taken back to the palace under the advice of the ministers, within a few years, Zhao Ji died in depression.
The second, the protagonist of the idiom "Xu Niang is half old, and the charm is still there"
It is said that at that time, Xiao Xuan had not yet ascended the throne, and at that time, only the King of Xiangdong Commandery was responsible for guarding Jiangling, and at that time, he had a good relationship with a general named Xu Kun. One night, Xu Kun invited him to his house to drink and drink. Xiao Xuan suddenly stopped moving with the wine glass, it turned out that there was a young woman who came to toast, just like this, Xiao Xuan fell in love with this woman at first sight and married her into the palace, that is, Xu Niang in "Xu Niang Half Old" - Xu Zhaopei.
Although Xiao Xuan was disabled, in Xu Zhaopei's eyes, he was a learned and talented person, and at that time, the two people talked about poetry and painting, like glue, but soon, Xu Niang discovered a big secret of Xiao Xuan. One day, Xiao Xuan was chatting with others as usual, and someone accidentally said that a man named Wang Quan was very talented, and after Xiao Xuan heard it, he asked one of his concubine's brothers to change his name to Wang Quan's father's name Wang Lin, in order to humiliate Wang Quan.
According to records, Xiao Xuan once personally compiled a book called "The Biography of Filial Piety", in this book, Xiao Xuan issued a call to the world that everyone in the world should obey filial piety, and it is precisely because of this book that the posthumous title of Xiao Xuan, who was originally the Emperor of Liangyuan, was added with the word "filial piety", known as Emperor Xiaoyuan.
One day in 548 AD, when Xiao Xuan was compiling the "Biography of Filial Piety", his subordinates sent a letter of emergency in the capital, saying that the general Hou Jing's rebellion was in danger, and he asked the King of Xiangdong to quickly send troops to support and save the emperor from water and fire. So he deliberately delayed time, refused to send troops, and waited until his brothers and nephews were all wiped out by the rebels, and even convinced that his father was trapped in the palace and starved to death, before he sent troops to put down the rebellion. Unexpectedly, the husband that Xu Niang once admired turned out to be a hypocrite.
After marrying Xu Zhaopei, Xiao Xuan quickly lost interest in her after a while, and began to become intoxicated with the way of Lao Zhuang, often turning a blind eye to Xu Niang. At first, Xu Zhaopei dressed up every day to attract Xiao Xuan, but found it useless, and in the end, he made a surprising move.
That day, she heard that Xiao Xuan was going to discuss poetry in the palace, so she deliberately painted half of her face for herself, called "half face makeup", to meet Xiao Xuan, in order to satirize Xiao Xuan, which means that you only have one eye, and you only deserve to see half of my face, but even if she does this, Xiao Xuan is still unmoved.
Therefore, in the lonely deep palace, Xu Niangfanghua was vain, and she was not confused. Finally, one day, when a white-faced scholar named Ji Jijiang expressed his good feelings to her, Xu Niang could no longer bear it, and whenever Xiao Xuan talked with the courtiers on the top of the palace, Xu Guifei and Ji Jijiang also enjoyed their happiness in the inner garden of the palace.
There is an old saying that the paper package can not hold the fire, one day, someone reported to Xiao Xuan, but learned that the LiangYuan Emperor Xiao Xuan at this time did not have any action, still let it go, and just talked about his own literature and Lao Zhuang, his indifference, fueled the exchange between Xu Guifei and Ji Jijiang, slowly, this matter spread all over the city.
When the Western Wei army besieged Jiangling, Xu Niang hugged her lover tightly in the harem, and she hoped that the lover could take her away with her to fly high, but at this time, Ji Jiang ran away first, Xu Niang not only cried loudly, just at this time, Xiao Yi walked in and gently asked, "What about that person?" After asking, he turned and left. He already hated his wife to the bone, but he wanted to humiliate her when she was in the most pain. In the end, Xu Niang committed suicide one day.
