The story between the emperor and the patron is bloody?
The records in "Records of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty" are even more absurd and bizarre than the one in front of you!
It is said that in the winter of the thirteenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao went to Taiyuan to patrol the border and fell in love with a beautiful lady Liu.
This beauty Liu was the wife of Yang Teng, a musician in the Jin Dynasty palace. Not only was she a prostitute in Lehu, but she was already married.
Zhu Houzhao also brought Liu Meiren back to the Leopard Room, where they ate and slept together, and were favored. If anyone offended the emperor, he only had to make Liu Meiren smile, and the emperor's anger would disappear instantly. Even Jiang Bin, a lucky man like Jiang Bin, had to serve Liu Meiren.
As a mother, she is called "Liu Niang".
Liu Meiren is the prototype of the folk legend Li Feng!
However, the "Records of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty" is compiled very nonsense, and it is difficult to say whether Liu Meiren was included or not.
This untrue record tells that when Zhu Houzhao was patrolling the border, he ruined all businesses in the Xuan Mansion and closed all doors during the day. He also searched for beautiful musicians and even lived in the homes of local officials and raped the wives and daughters of civil and military officials.
But the Koreans cleared Zhu Houzhao's name. "Records of the Li Dynasty" recorded this: "When I first heard that the emperor had adopted Zhang's commanding daughter, he kept her at home, but the sergeants plundered other people's homes. When he saw her when he came out, the emperor stayed in Tongzhou.
In the pavilion, the ceremonial guards are still there, and there has been no looting."
This is very embarrassing. Should we believe the "Records of Wuzong" compiled by the Jiajing Dynasty, or the "Records of the Li Dynasty" compiled by the Joseon Dynasty?
The North Koreans compile their own history books and cannot flatter Zhu Houzhao, so what is the use of helping him clean up the ground?
Is Zhu Houzhao a retarded person? He summoned the border troops to Beijing for training for several years, and trained a group of garbage that harmed the local area, and they dared to plunder everywhere when he personally led the army?
Li Xu, a poet of the Ming Dynasty who failed the imperial examination seven times, was only in his teens when Zhengde traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. He recorded an interesting incident in his work: Because Zhu Houzhao liked listening to music, he visited the Sanqu master Xu Lin's house during his tour in the south of the Yangtze River.
Moreover, he went after dark, so Xu Lin was unprepared and didn't know how to entertain him. Others said, "You are a scholar, just offer tea." Xu Lin only entertained the emperor with fruit cakes and tea, and even the wine was brought by Zhu Houzhao.
Yang Yiqing's record of this matter is roughly similar to Li Xu's, but the details are slightly different. Yang Yiqing said that Xu Lin only served tea and the fruit cakes were bought by the emperor. Zhu Houzhao ate two of them himself and gave Xu Lin two more
indivual.
What a polite emperor. He went to visit a Sanqu master at night, brought his own wine and fruit cakes, and only drank a cup of tea from the host. How could he be so extravagant and lustful that he slept with other people's wives and daughters at night? This is such a foolish emperor.
It’s too unqualified!
The Zhu Houzhao recorded by folk literati, the Zhu Houzhao recorded in Korean history books, and the Zhu Houzhao in the official history of the Ming Dynasty are completely different.
…
Outside the Meridian Gate.
After Wang Yuan retired from the court, he stood among the hundreds of officials, waiting for the officials of Honglu Temple to come and give him a banquet.
This year's New Year's Day and Lantern Festival banquets have all been cancelled. The reason is still to save the court's expenses. But today a banquet must be given because it is the birthday of Empress Dowager Zhang. Not giving a banquet would mean that the emperor is unfilial.
Wang Yuan received a food box, took it out of Chang'an Gate, and threw it to Yuan Da who was waiting there. He himself re-entered the imperial city, took out his waist badge for inspection, and went straight to the Leopard Room.
At Huang'e's place, Wang Yuan had already hired him, and the two became an official unmarried couple.
But the wedding date was set for autumn, and Wang Yuan had to send a letter to Guizhou to inform his parents about the wedding. The mountains were high and the roads were far away, making it inconvenient for his parents to travel, but his eldest brother had to come to celebrate the wedding on behalf of the Wang family.
Yuan Da was not sent back to deliver the message because Wang Yuan was short of people.
The person who delivers the message is a servant borrowed from the government for free. A Jinshi or a shujishi in the first grade of Keke, in addition to having the privilege of housing, also has the privilege of sending servants.
For example, you can let the servants do things like cooking, washing and sewing for free. Even when you go shopping, you can have the servants accompany you to help support the scene or carry things. You can also choose not to use the servants, and exchange them for cash, and slowly save money for the future.
Rent a house to live in.
This kind of privilege is only for three years, and will disappear when the next Jinshi is elected.
Wang Yuan slowly came to the Leopard Room, where Zhu Houzhao and Gu Guren were having breakfast. Well, it should be said that his name was Gu Zhaoyi. The word "Zhaoyi" existed in the early Ming Dynasty, and now it was discovered by Zhu Houzhao.
Gu Pan is Gu Zhaoyi's stage name in the brothel. Her surname is indeed Gu. Her real name is unknown, and Wang Yuan is inconvenient to ask.
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned you?" Wang Yuan cupped his hands and asked.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Erlang hasn't eaten yet, so come over and eat together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Yuan was not polite and walked over in a swaggering manner, saluted Gu Zhaoyi and sat down.
Gu Zhaoyi still covered her face, but only half of her face was covered, and the veil was even more beautiful. The veil laces were made of twisted silver, and there was a drop-shaped jade pendant on the forehead, which was integrated with the elegant bun and headdress.
Under the veil, there is a mask made of silk. The mask is long in shape and just covers the scar. Even if the veil is blown up by the wind, you are not afraid of being seen.
"Sister Wang, long time no see." Gu Zhaoyi smiled, and a smile could be seen on the left side of her face.
Wang Yuan joked: "Your Majesty smiles so beautifully. This is the first time I have seen her."
Gu Zhaoyi pointed at Wang Yuan and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Brother, this person seems to be teasing me!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Houzhao laughed.
The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, Zhaoyi is not like Zhaoyi.
"Empress" is a respectful title for the queen and imperial concubine. Xiao Zhaoyi is not qualified. Wang Yuan is just shouting indiscriminately.
Gu Zhaoyi calls the emperor "brother" and calls herself "I". She is obviously in love with the emperor, and it is as sweet as falling into oil and honey.
When facing the emperor, concubines may call themselves concubine, concubine, son, or daughter.
It sounds quite evil, but the concubines who have a good relationship with the emperor can really call themselves "son" and "daughter".
The accompanying eunuch brought chopsticks, and Wang Yuan copied them and started picking up the food. Anyway, he didn't regard himself as an outsider.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It's almost time. I want to canonize Pan'er as Concubine Zhuang."
"I dare not speak nonsense about your Majesty's family affairs." Wang Yuan continued to eat.
Gu Zhaoyi poured wine for Wang Yuan personally: "I haven't thanked Bachelor Wang enough yet, please drink this cup full!"
Wang Yuan drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and your empress are in love, I am just a witness."
Zhaoyi and other harem positions were abolished in the mid-Ming Dynasty. They are indeed not suitable for long-term use. Sooner or later, Gu Zhaoyi will be promoted.
Zhu Houzhao was very smart in doing things. He first deprived her of her citizenship, and then made her a righteous daughter to a minor official. She entered the palace as an official's daughter, and after being a palace maid for half a day, she was promoted to Zhaoyi, and the rest was a natural matter and she was canonized as Zhuang Concubine.
Maybe there are rumors, but Gu Zhaoyi has been living in the Leopard Room for a long time, who would dare to come in and check her status as a government prostitute?
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Erlang, do you know that Pan'er actually knows how to fight. Although his father is a civil servant, he also comes from a hereditary military family. Pan'er grew up in the guard station and read many military books because of his family background.
"
Gu Zhaoyi said modestly: "Brother is so complimentary, I'm just talking on paper."
"It is a rare woman to be able to talk about military affairs. Pan'er should not underestimate herself." Zhu Houzhao said.
Wang Yuan was speechless. He called me here so early in the morning just to watch you show off your dog food?
To be honest, with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, even if any woman is favored for a while, it is unlikely that she will capture the emperor's heart for a long time.
Gu Zhaoyi is an exception. She is loyal and strong, and has won the favor of the emperor. Being promoted to an official prostitute is not an obstacle, but a bonus. Zhu Houzhao likes to go beyond etiquette.
Zhu Houzhao likes to listen to music, and Gu Zhaoyi can sing; Zhu Houzhao likes to dance with swords; Gu Zhaoyi has extraordinary sword dancing skills; Zhu Houzhao likes to talk about war, and Gu Zhaoyi has actually read military books. Coupled with her independent personality, Zhu Houzhao is even more obsessed with it.
When she scolded him, Zhu Houzhao still laughed happily.
Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought Gu Zhaoyi was ugly, and he just wanted to get him into the Leopard Room to dance with swords and have a friend with whom he could communicate. But Gu Zhaoyi was so attracted to him that one night after drinking, he couldn't hold it back, and the two rolled on the bed.
Even if you take the last step, you won't be able to see clearly in the dark.
Once a man and a woman have sex, and in the heat of love and adultery, an ugly woman can become a beautiful woman, and a bad boy can become a handsome man.
Zhu Houzhao was so excited that he wanted to canonize Gu Zhaoyi as Zhuang Fei.
This will inevitably attract the attention of civil officials, because Zhu Houzhao has been emperor for many years. In addition to the queen, he only has two concubines, one is the virtuous concubine Wu, and the other is the virtuous concubine Shen.
Now that a concubine of Zhuang, the Gu family, suddenly appears, and she is also a prince who has not been born for many years, she must be highly anticipated.
Even if the civil servants find out Gu Zhaoyi's identity as a prostitute, they probably won't object too much as long as they are sure of her innocence and chastity. As long as she can give birth to a prince, what does a prostitute mean to her?
After breakfast, Jiang Bin, Xu Tai, and Pan Gui came to see them and said that the soldiers had begun to drill.
Moreover, when these generals faced Gu Zhaoyi, they all called her "Empress", which shows that she is indeed favored.
Zhu Houzhao led Wang Yuan to the school grounds, pointed at more than thirty men with big muscles and round waists, and said: "They are all the warriors of the Leopard Room that I have recently recruited. They are all very powerful and brave people!"
"Your Majesty has a broad mind, and I admire you greatly!" Wang Yuan said with a smile.
These thirty people were all Mongolian men. They were all Mongolian sergeants who surrendered last year and were brought over from the border by Jiang Bin.
The civil servants were furiously opposed a while ago, and the impeachment memorial came like snowflakes. It was really Zhu Houzhao who took too many risks. The Mongolian soldiers who surrendered less than a year ago were actually hired into the Leopard Room as a valet. Anyone with evil intentions could kill the Ming Emperor.
Get killed!
Zhu Houzhao said: "Erlang, these Mongolian men are very conceited. Go and show them how powerful the Ming Dynasty warriors are!"
Wang Yuan was speechless. I am a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. You actually asked me to compete with the Mongols?
Well, I haven't been active for a long time, so it's time to practice.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Pick out ten people and join us together. I will beat ten of them!"
Gu Zhaoyi said: "Xueshi Wang is indeed brave."
The leader of the Mongolian man is called Tuo Tuotai. After this guy came to the Leopard Room, he was loyal and loyal, but he was conceited and brave and looked down on others.
Under the leadership of Tuotutai, ten Mongolian men surrounded Wang Yuan and charged towards him with roars.
Because they did not use weapons, these Mongolian men used wrestling tricks. Wang Yuan did not give them a chance to get close. He fought and walked, only using fists and feet to greet them, and actually made ten Mongolian men spin around.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Wang Yuan picked up the man next to him, which weighed nearly 200 kilograms. Wang Yuan used it as a weapon and swept the other Mongolian men to the left and right, knocking them staggering.
Xu Tai was stunned and murmured to himself: "This person is invincible."
Jiang Bin was also dumbfounded: "He usually looks gentle and gentle, but he doesn't look like someone with infinite strength."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed excitedly: "I have Wang Erlang, so why worry about the world being unstable?"
"No fight, no fight," Tuotuo Tai stepped back repeatedly and spoke in non-standard Chinese, "You are a real warrior, I can't defeat you!"
"Concession!" Wang Yuan threw away the humanoid weapon and said with cupped fists.
Tutuota asked: "You are so strong, how many kilograms of meat do you eat a day?"
This question was particularly cute and made Zhu Houzhao laugh again.
Wang Yuan said: "I eat chicken every day, and my family raises thousands of chickens."
Wang Yuan really didn't lie. After more than a year of experiments, earthworm breeding technology has been adapted to local conditions and developed on a large scale in Wang Yuan's territory.
