Chapter 369: No more people are needed, like Zhaoxin in the Han Dynasty
Cao Shuang coughed and laughed and said, "I'm not like that, husband. As long as there are three of you in the backyard, it's enough. I don't need more people."
Jian Jia patted Cao Shuang's shoulder gently and said softly: "How can that be done? My husband used to be a general, and now he is the prime minister of the Wei Dynasty. There need to be more talents in the backyard. If it stays like this deserted, then there will be
What do we three sisters look like?"
Bai Lingjun also said: "What my sister said is true. If this continues, the people in Luoyang will think that our sisters are jealous people like Zhaoxin in the Han Dynasty."
Cao Shuang answered the words softly: "My husband trusts you, and I also know that the ladies are not people like Zhao Xin."
This woman is not as famous as Lu Pheasant and Zheng Xiu, but her poison and jealousy are more cruel than the former two. She is Zhaoxin, the queen of Guangchuan King Liu Qu, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Zhaoxin was not favored at first. At first, Liu Qu's two favorite concubines were named Wang Zhaoping and Wang Diyu.
He had promised these two women that he would give them the title of queen in the future. But he didn't know how to distribute them since there was only one queen but two people he loved.
Later, Liu Qu fell seriously ill, and Zhao Xin was a smart person. During this period, she took care of Liu Qu with considerate care, which moved him. After Liu Qu recovered from his illness, he turned the focus of his love to Zhao Xin.
Jealousy appeared. However, this time the jealousy did not come from Zhao Xin, but from Wang Zhaoping and Wang Diyu.
What happened was that once, Liu went to play with Wang Diyu, and suddenly a dagger fell from her sleeve.
Just have fun, why are you carrying a dagger? Do you want to assassinate me? Liu Qu, who was suspicious, used torture to interrogate him. Wang Diyu couldn't bear the punishment, so he said that he had joined forces with Wang Zhaoping and wanted to use it.
This dagger killed Zhaoxin.
Later, Liu went to ask Wang Zhaoping again. Zhaoping initially did not admit it, but Liu went to stab her with an iron needle and she confessed. It was a bit like torture to extract a confession.
After Wang Zhaoping and Wang Diyu confessed, Liu Qu's cruel side emerged. He killed Wang Diyu himself, and then asked Zhaoxin to kill Wang Zhaoping.
But think about it carefully, if Wang Di had not dropped a dagger from his sleeve this time and admitted that he wanted to kill Zhaoxin, would Zhaoxin have become that heinous and vicious woman? In short, from then on, Zhaoxin's viciousness began to show.
One of her most representative vicious deeds was to frame Liu Qu's concubine Tao Wangqing. She whispered in Liu Qu's ears and slandered Tao Wangqing for having committed adultery with other men.
As a result, Liu Qu and Zhao Xin took the concubine from the palace to Tao Wangqing's room indiscriminately, took off her clothes and beat her, and each branded her with a red-hot iron, forcing Tao Wangqing to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well.
This was not the end of the story. Tao Wangqing was dead, so Zhaoxin had her fished out and humiliated her body in various ways, including "sticking it into her vagina, cutting off her nose and lips, and cutting off her tongue. Let's go together with her."
Cut it into pieces, put it in a big wok, take the peach ash poison and boil it." How can a person be so cruel?
In addition to Tao Wangqing, the people framed by Zhaoxin include Cui Xiucheng, Rong Ai and other fourteen concubines. "Zhaoxin often killed all fourteen of them."
Their fates were all as tragic as Tao Wangqing's. For example, Rong Ai was falsely accused by Zhao Xin of having an affair with a doctor, and Liu Qu "burned a knife to destroy her eyes, cut two of her legs alive, and poured lead into her mouth", and then "dismembered her."
"Bury it with thorns."
Liu Qu and Zhao Xin, one is a macho man who cannot accept betrayal, and the other is a jealous man who cannot accept his husband's advances towards other women.
Zhaoxin caught on to this characteristic of Liu Qu, so he unscrupulously used this method to deal with women who threatened her status.
This trick never worked after a hundred attempts. But what about Liu Qu? He was like a crazy devil who tortured his woman to death without giving her a chance to explain.
Heaven has a way of reincarnation, no one will be spared. Evil will be punished, and the evil deeds of Liu Qu and Zhao Xin were finally made public and reached the ears of the emperor.
This kind of crime should have been cut to pieces, but Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Bingji couldn't bear to punish Liu Qu according to the royal law, so he only deprived him of the throne and exiled him to Shangyong.
Later, Liu committed suicide and Zhaoxin was executed. Zhaoxin's poison all came from jealousy. Jealousy is really a great evil.
Empress Dugu of the Sui Dynasty was also a famous jealous woman in history. She advocated single-mindedness and would not tolerate men having three wives and four concubines. Not only did she have this expectation for her husband, she even disliked the men around her who had three wives and four concubines.
For example, her biological son Yang Yong was originally the prince, but later because of a bad relationship with the prince, he doted on his concubine instead, which made Empress Dugu disgusted with him. But her other son Yang Guang was different. He knew that his mother hated her.
A man who was not professional in his feelings, so he always showed a very dedicated appearance in front of his mother, which won the favor of Queen Dugu.
Later, the crown prince Yang Yong was deposed and Yang Guang was established as the crown prince. Empress Dugu was also the main driving force. So one can imagine how much Empress Dugu hates men who are not devoted to affection. After all, even her own son is no exception.
.
Gao Jun, a hero of the Sui Dynasty, also violated Empress Dugu's taboo, which made Empress Dugu very unhappy. She often made mistakes about Gao Jun in front of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, became suspicious and gradually alienated Gao Jun.
, until Yang Guang came to the throne and re-enabled Gao Jiong, Gao Jiong still could not escape the fate of unjust death.
Gao Jun's father was originally an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but later defected to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to avoid slander. The Great Sima Duguxin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty made him an assistant and gave him the surname Dugu. Gao Jun's family settled down in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, Yang Jian was the Zuo Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was ambitious and wanted to do a great cause. He knew that Gao Jun was smart, capable, familiar with military affairs and rich in strategies, so he wanted to recruit him into the Prime Minister's Office.
He privately sent someone to find Gao Jian, trying to win him over. Gao Jian was very happy when he heard about Yang Jian's intention, and expressed his willingness to follow him on the spot, regardless of personal gains and losses. So he joined Yang Jian's camp, and Yang Jian also regarded him as
As a confidant, all matters big and small will be discussed with him.
When Yuchi Jiong raised his troops to rebel against Yang Jian, the attack was fierce. Yang Jian originally wanted his confidant Cui Zhongfang and others to go to meet the enemy.
Who knows, these people were afraid of Yuchi Jiong's fierce offensive, so they refused to go. Yang Jian was anxious for a moment, but at the critical moment, Gao Jun stepped forward and was willing to lead his troops to meet the enemy.
Gao Jian used earth dogs to resist the opponent's fire attack. After crossing the Qinshui River, he burned the bridge and fought with the rebels in a last-ditch battle, defeating the rebels. After this battle, Yang Jian's favor towards Gao Jian was even greater than before.
Later, when the Sui Dynasty was established, Gao Jiong was regarded as a founding hero. He was named Shangshu Zuopushe and accepted the title. No one in the court could match him for a while, but Gao Jiong was deeply afraid that his achievements would shock the emperor, so he always wanted to resign. However, the Sui Dynasty
Even Emperor Wen Yang Jian did not agree, saying that the Sui Dynasty could not do without him. Gao Jiao was moved and stayed.
Yang Jian has always trusted Gao Jun, but Queen Dugu didn't like him, it could even be said to hate him, because Gao Jun violated several of Queen Dugu's taboos.
Although Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu had always been very affectionate, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty had only Empress Dugu alone for many years.
But Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was a man after all, especially after he became emperor. He once favored a maid. Queen Dugu killed the maid in anger. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was very unhappy and rode out of the palace alone.
Gao Jun caught up with him and tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty, are you willing to abandon the world for a mere woman?" Then Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty returned to the palace, but Empress Dugu hated Gao Jun for these words, thinking that he was not worthy of the emperor.
