Know all about the secrets of the harem

Chapter 16: The Phoenix in the Fireworks (5)
When Meng Chang heard that Song soldiers were coming to Shu, he also mobilized troops and ordered Wang Zhaoyuan to lead the army as the capital to resist the Song army.Meng Chang sent Xuan Zhe to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to guard the Jianmen Gate.Xuan Zhe drove Ai Ji in a car with dozens of musical instruments and actors, and the people of Shu snickered.Wang Zhaoyuan is good at reading military books, and he is proud of his strategy. He said: "This trip is not to defeat the enemy, but to enter the Central Plains, and go straight to Bianjing. You should take these 30 to [-] evil boys with carved faces, and take the Central Plains like you! "Wang Zhaoyuan had finished drinking, and led his men and horses to set off, holding iron Ruyi in his hand, and commanding the sergeants.Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle started, the two generals were captured alive.It was too late for the Shu soldiers to escape, and even the [-] stone grains and rice brought by the army were also obtained by the Song soldiers.Wang Zhaoyuan also said that victory and defeat are commonplace in soldiers, as long as they go out by themselves and fight, they can kill Song soldiers to nothing.Although he was talking big words, he didn't dare to lead his troops forward. He only set up a camp in Luochuan and waited for the Song army.Later, he was flanked by the Song army and retreated to Jianmen.In a blink of an eye, Jianmen fell, and Song Bing put an iron rope around his neck, leading Wang Zhaoyuan away like a monkey.

Later, he majored in take-off and landing tables, and went to Songying.

The queen master and his family members were escorted to Bianjing.Along the Xiajiang River, the mountains and rivers are rugged, and the road is difficult to walk. Mrs. Huarui's delicate and timid body has endured such hardships, holding the hatred of subjugation, the autumn waters are condensed, and the spring mountains are covered with daisy, which is very resentful.On this day, the road passes through Jiameng pass and rests in the post.The later master, Meng Chang, was guarded by sergeants and lived in another room; Mrs. Huarui lived in the first room on the left with two palace servants.Madam Huarui looked at this appearance, recalling how joyful it was to sing, dance and feast in the palace in the prime of life, today the country is ruined and the family is broken, as a prisoner, I don't know what will happen to my life when I arrive in Bianjing, thinking in my heart, I am so sad.Weeping alone for a while, I felt a solitary lamp, dizzy and miserable, and looked at the two palace servants, they were already sleeping like dead people.Mrs. Huarui wanted to sleep but couldn't. She wanted to turn on the lamp, but there was no lamp holder, so she had to take off the golden hairpin on her head and turn on the lamp.The sorrow in my chest had no place to vent, so I filled out a small order at random, took the pen and ink, and wanted to write it down, but there was no paper, so I had to dip the pen and write on the post wall: "The heart of the road from Shu when I first left Broken, parted and hated, the spring is like a year, and the cuckoos will be heard from time to time."

After arriving in Bianliang, Meng Chang's family and officials went to Beijing together, where he treated his crimes in plain clothes.The Taizu named him the grand master of the school, and also the order of the middle school. He was awarded the title of Qin Guogong, and he was given a new mansion on the bank of the Bian River.Taizu had heard for a long time that Meng Chang's concubine, Mrs. Huarui, was beautiful and unparalleled, and wanted to take it for himself, but it was inconvenient to summon her at the moment, so he had to use this kind of gold and silk to reward her everywhere.

On the next day, Meng Chang's wife and concubines entered the palace together to thank Shengen.Taizu chose the order and summoned them one by one.When Mrs. Huarui was visiting, Taizu paid special attention to it, and felt that a kind of fragrance came into his nose as soon as she came to the seat, which made people intoxicated.Looking carefully, it is really beautiful, extraordinary, charming, and indescribable.Bow down and worship, graceful and light.Taizu has seen the gods and lost consciousness as if he was drunk.When Mrs. Huarui said that her concubine Fei had met her, and wished the emperor a long life, this piece of delicate voice was like a bead throat, and it was audible.Taizu's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Huarui without turning her eyes.Mrs. Huarui also felt a little bit, so she glanced at Taizu, bowed her head and retreated.When he was about to leave, the glances turned, and it was even more captivating, which made the Taizu so happy that he remembered Mrs. Huarui all the time, and almost forgot to eat and sleep.At this time, the Queen Wang's family died in the sixth year of Qiande. Although the spring scenery of the six palaces is like the sea, it is not as beautiful as Mrs. Huarui.Taizu was choosing his queen, how could he easily let go of such a beautiful woman who was so beautiful?After thinking about it, he hardened his heart and said: "How can we get a beauty if we don't use evil hands?" At that moment, he made up his mind.On this day, Meng Chang was called into the palace for a night banquet. Taizu gave him wine and ordered him to drink freely until midnight before returning home with thanks.The next day, Meng Chang became ill. There seemed to be something blocked in his chest, and he couldn't swallow.Even if he died in less than two days, he was 47 years old and came to Bianjing from Sichuan, but it took only seven days.

Forced to change festivals, infatuation remains

When the Taizu heard that Meng Chang was dead, he stopped court for five days. He wore plain clothes for the funeral, presented him with a thousand bolts of cloth and silk, and paid all the funeral expenses by the officials.Mrs. Huarui's whole body is plain, her eyes are brighter and her teeth are brighter, and her bones are beautiful. Taizu took this opportunity to keep her in the palace and forced her to serve a banquet.Mrs. Huarui couldn't help herself at this time, so she had no choice but to obey her orders.While drinking, Taizu knew that Mrs. Huarui had written hundreds of official poems when she was in Sichuan, and asked her to recite poems impromptu to show her talent.Mrs. Huarui obeyed the order, so she stood up and said: "The flag was lowered on the king's city, and the concubine found out in the deep palace; all 14 people were disarmed, and none of them was a man."

Mrs. Huarui drank a few glasses of wine, and the red clouds on her cheeks made her feel even more charming.After a few cups of wine, Song Taizu hugged her in his arms, embraced Mrs. Huarui into the bedroom, and enjoyed himself to the fullest. This Mrs. Huarui served Taizu heartily.On the next day, she was registered as a noble concubine.Mrs. Huarui obeyed Taizu and was conferred the title of concubine, so she had to use the means to lure Meng Chang in the middle of Shu to lure Taizu, singing and dancing every day, and having fun.

Since Mrs. Huarui entered the palace register and became a concubine, the Taizu was blessed to have no time to go. Every day when he retired from the court, he never went anywhere else, and only came to have fun with her.This day, when I left the court a little earlier, I came to Mrs. Huarui and walked into the palace. I saw Mrs. Huarui hanging a portrait there, lighting incense candles, and kowtowed.Taizu didn't know what kind of portrait she offered, so he looked at it carefully.I saw a person sitting upright on the table. Between the eyebrows, I seemed to have seen it somewhere. I was in a hurry, but I couldn't remember it. I was very puzzled, so I asked Mrs. Huarui: "Who is the concubine offering? But you want to worship so devoutly?" Mrs. Huarui didn't expect Taizu to come suddenly, and she was very panicked when he saw her secret, and she heard Taizu's questioning, so she calmed down and said: "This is the popular Zhang Xianxiang, worshiped devoutly You can get an heir." Taizu said: "It is a good thing to worship the gods, and the concubine wants to ask for an heir, so just clean the quiet room and worship Zhang Xian." In fact, Mrs. Huarui and Shu Lord Meng Chang got along very dearly. .Since Meng Chang died of a sudden illness, she was coerced by Taizu to become an official and reluctantly accepted Yulu.Although she favored the Sixth Palace, she couldn't get rid of Meng Chang's old kindness in her heart, so she drew a portrait of Meng Chang with her own hands and worshiped without others.Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by Taizu, and when he asked why, he lied that it was the image of Zhang Xian, enshrining a pious son.Not only did Taizu have no doubts, but he ordered her to clean the quiet room and worship devoutly so as not to desecrate the immortals.

Mrs. Huarui tidied up a quiet room, hung Meng Chang's portrait high, burned incense and candles every day, and worshiped day and night, very pious.The concubines in the Song Palace heard that they could have children by enshrining Zhang Xian. Who would not want to give birth to a prince, thinking that they would be rich and honored later.They all went to Mrs. Huarui's palace, still drew a picture, and went to support it.From then on, this portrait of a fairy giving birth to a child was spread from the palace. Even folk women who wanted to have a son drew a picture of a fairy with fragrant flowers as a salute, which has not faded to this day.Later generations have poems chanting this matter:
Gongling is said to be a spirit god, and a little infatuation will never fade away;
The only one who dies through hardships through the ages is the only one who is sad, Mrs. Xi.

Taizu came to Bianjing from Meng Chang, and gave him a new residence with more than 500 buildings beside the Bian River.

Now Yuchang's mother and son are both dead, and Mrs. Huarui has returned to the palace, so she ordered the things in the mansion to be brought into the palace.The guards obeyed the order and went to clean it up. They even took back the drowning vessel used by Meng Chang and presented it to Taizu.It turned out that Meng Chang's drowning vessel was inlaid with seven treasures. It was exquisite in style and unparalleled in value.It is estimated that its value should be more than ten times that of Liancheng's Bi!When the guards saw it, they were very surprised and dared not hide it, so they took back the presentation.Seeing that Meng Chang's drowning vessel was also decorated in this way, Taizu sighed, "A drowning vessel is also inlaid with seven treasures. What else can be used to store food? If it is so extravagant, how can the country not be destroyed!" So he ordered the guards to general The drowning device shattered.

Taizu had a secret discussion with Zhao Pu because he planned to establish Mrs. Huarui as the queen because of the long absence of middle officials.Zhao Pu said how a subjugated concubine could honor the world, Zhao Kuangyin thought about it too, so he had to give up.Taizu used to have a golden cabinet alliance to pass on the throne, Madam Huarui felt a little dissatisfied with Dezhao, and often said in front of Taizu: "Prince Dezhao is very promising, and he will inherit the great line in the future. There must be a way. Mingjun, Your Majesty must not abide by the edict, give up sons and establish younger brothers, and make Dezhao feel wronged for life." After Zhao Guangyi learned about it, he hated Mrs. Huarui very much, and he was determined to put her to death.During a court hunt, Zhao Guangyi shot Mrs. Huarui to death by pretending to be accidentally injured.

Li Shishi: Affair with Song Huizong

Song Huizong (1082-1135), named Zhao Ji, No. 11 son of Shenzong, younger brother of Zhezong.He was successively named King Suining and King Duan.Zhezong died of illness in the first month of 1100 AD, and he had no heirs at that time. In the same month, Queen Xiang made Zhao Ji emperor.In the second year, the name was changed to "Jianzhong Yasukuni".Song Huizong was the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. He reigned for 25 years, and was captured and tortured to death at the age of 54.

Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, was frivolous all his life. In addition to liking flowers, trees, bamboo and stones, birds, beasts, insects and fish, Chuanding calligraphy and painting, immortals and Taoism, he was also fond of female sex.There are astonishing numbers of concubines in Huizong's harem. According to historical records, there are "three thousand Fendai and eight hundred Yanjiao".But with these concubines lingering day and night, embracing day and night, no matter how much delicious food they eat, they will get bored, no matter how familiar the beautiful scenery is, it is no longer novelty.

Huizong was lazy in political affairs, indulged in wine and sex, and competed until he slept in flowers and willows, and served prostitutes in modest clothes.Huizong's search for flowers and willows began in the Zhenghe period. At that time, he was in his thirties, and he was in full bloom. Although there were three thousand beauties in the post-officials, and the clouds of pink and white, they still couldn't stop his desire to go to the people to find a peerless woman.

Once, when Huizong was having a banquet with his ministers, a burst of loud and clear singing wafted into his ears. Huizong sighed and said:

"I am the lord of the world, and I live deep in the ninth place, but I am not as happy as the common people. I want to enjoy the scenery of the market, but I don't have the opportunity, which makes people happy." The eunuch Yang Jian said: "If your majesty travels, if you swing your luanyu, It will inevitably attract the attention of historians. There are those who record speeches and those who record actions. At the same time, the market has to be cleared to prevent idlers from causing trouble. In this way, His Majesty will not be able to move freely. Talented Confucian scholars and ministers pretend to be servants, and enter the store through the rear gate, where they can enjoy the scenery of the market to their heart's content." Huizong immediately adopted this suggestion, took off his dragon robe, put on a purple Taoist uniform, and tied a red silk Lvgong sash, Wearing a Tang scarf on his head and a pair of riding boots on his feet, together with Gao Qi, Yang Jian and a group of courtiers, they left Guanye, walked across the streets and alleys, and came to the store to enjoy the scenery of Bianjing.

"Song History Cao Fu Biography" records that during the Zizhenghe period, Huizong traveled privately in disguise many times, sometimes in a sedan chair, and sometimes out of the palace on foot, accompanied by several favored ministers.Huizong also set up a Xingxing Bureau for this purpose. If Huizong went out that day, the Xingxing Bureau would say that the emperor had arranged a banquet (a banquet was arranged in the palace); sit facing.At the beginning, the people in Tokyo were aware of it. Later, Cai Jing's thank you table contained the words "Light car and small chariot, and the Qixi Festival is lucky", which was passed on to the Quartet through the residence newspaper.The courtiers were naturally dissatisfied with courtiers' dissatisfaction with courtiers who pretended to be sick, but most of them were wise enough to protect themselves, and they did not dare to go against the dragon's scales, and kept silent.When Huizong saw that there was no one to remonstrate, he never tired of it and kept doing small things. If the news had not been leaked by the residence newspaper, the common people would really think that Huizong was a emperor who was diligent in governing and caring for the people!
At that time, Bianjing was prosperous and prosperous, and there were many singers, which objectively provided Huizong with convenience.There is a Quyuan Street in front of the Xuande Building in the capital. On the north side of the street are tea shops and mutton shops. To the west, houses are lined up, all of which are houses for prostitutes. Outside the main street and Zhuangyuan Building, the rest of the streets are full of brothels.

Outside the Suzaku Gate in the east of Yujie Street, and the Killing Pig Lane in the south of Wazi, Xinmen Gate in the west, are also brothels.From Panlou to the east, there is a street named Zhujiaqiao Wazi. Walk down a bridge. Under the bridge, there are Nanxie Street and Beixie Street. There are brothels in both streets.There are restaurants on Jingshi Avenue and even remote alleys. In order to attract customers, there are colorful doors at the entrance of the hotel. Entering the store, the main corridor is more than a hundred steps long, and there are small attics in the north and south patio corridors.Every night, the lamps and candles are shining brightly, shining up and down, and hundreds of prostitutes with heavy makeup gather on the main corridor, waiting for guests to call.They are all graceful and graceful, full of ups and downs, looking like a goddess coming to the world.There are also some low-class prostitutes who come to drink and sing before the banquet without waiting for the guests to call. As long as the customers give some small money, they will leave satisfied.The most common is that those high-ranking officials who spend money like water call prostitutes to sing. Therefore, every hotel has a hall.The verandas in the middle of the hall are shaded by verandahs, with small pavilions arranged on both sides, hanging windows with flowers and bamboos, and hanging curtains on each side, where prostitutes laugh with guests in the house.Others, such as the brothels in Lushi Lane to the south of Sidongmen Street, and Xiaotianshui Lane to the north of the street, there are also many brothels in the alley.There is Jingde Temple behind the Shangqing official, and there is a street called Taohuadong in front of the temple, and the street is full of brothels.At that time, Bianjing was a densely populated place where tens of thousands of people were added, and even if it was subtracted, there were not many people. "There are tens of thousands of Yanguan songlou", and there must be tens of thousands of prostitutes.Most of them are kabuki, singing but not selling themselves, but there are not a few who sell singing and make a living.If Huizong only wanted to listen to the songs, the copper plate and iron pipa in the palace, and the urgent management of the strings, would be a hundred times more pleasant than the vomit and dumb mockers in the market, he could enjoy it as much as he wanted, and he would not have to go out at night.Apparently, the purpose of his incognito traveling is to prostitute.Although there are many beauties in the harem, the wild flowers and grass are unique, so under the influence of the eunuchs and courtiers, they made a narrow and evil tour.

Huizong was born in the palace since he was a child, and he grew up in the hands of women. He didn't leave the official residence, and he rarely had the opportunity to wander around the shops.I saw the song stage, dance pavilion, wine market and flower building, which were extremely prosperous. Before I knew it, it was the time when the setting sun melted gold and the evening clouds merged.Emperor Huizong and his ministers came to a square called Jinxian Lane. There were prostitutes on both sides of the street. You could only hear laughter and chatter from under the curtain. , Huizong felt very novel.Going forward another five or six steps, I came to a house with pink walls and mandarin tiles, Zhuhu animal rings, flying curtains against the lush green tall locust trees, and Xiuhu facing green and dense thin bamboos. In the courtyard, I suddenly saw the emerald curtains rolled up high, the embroidered curtains hanging down, and a young girl stood under the curtains.Her hair is dark clouds, her hairpin is golden phoenix, her eyes are like autumn water, her eyebrows are like spring mountains, her waist is like a weak willow, and her skin is like fat.After watching it for a long time, Huizong couldn't help his heart fluttering and his spirit soaring.This woman is none other than Li Shishi, the famous head of the capital.

Who is Master Li?It turned out that she was the daughter of Wang Yin, a craftsman at Yongqingfang Dyeing Bureau in the East Second Chamber of Bianjing. When Shi Shi was born, her mother died of dystocia. Wang Yin had no choice but to use soybean milk as a substitute for milk.According to the customs of Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, when a man and a woman were born, their parents love them so much that they must sacrifice their lives in a Buddhist temple to cleanse their sins.Although Wang Yin came from a poor family, he loved his daughter dearly and sent her to Baoguang Temple.An old monk looked at the little girl and said, "Where is this place? How did you come here?" The girl who had never cried suddenly cried loudly. .Wang Yin was overjoyed, and said to the old monk: "This girl is really a disciple of Buddhism!" It is customary in the capital that anyone who is a disciple of Buddhism is commonly called "Shi Shi", so Wang Yin's daughter is called "Shi Shi", but her real name is instead forgotten.

There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. When Shi Shi was 4 years old, Wang Yin was imprisoned for a crime, and soon passed away. Shi Shi, who was still babbling, suddenly became a homeless person.At this time, a geisha named Li adopted her, so Shishi changed her surname to Li, and people also called her Li Shishi.Years are like water, and youth is fleeting. Under Li's upbringing, Shi Shi grew up from an ignorant child to a big girl. He dominates the teaching workshop and is well-known in the capital. "Tokyo Menghualu" records that since Chongning and Daguan, among the tile performers in the capital, Li Shishi, Xu Poxi, Feng Yinu, Sun Sansi, etc. are famous for their singing.And the leader is Li Shishi.At this time, the master's cardamom years were famous all over the world, so the cars and horses were overflowing, and the shops were like a market.

Mohist poets admired the beauty and art of the teacher and teacher, and wrote essays and songs about their whereabouts in the fleeting years.The poet Qin Guan (1049-1100) once wrote a poem "A Cluster of Flowers" for her:

When I see my teacher at night in the season of the year, my cheeks are red with wine.

Outside the sparse curtain and half-rolled dim light, the smoke curls up coolly on the dew.

Throwing hairpins and buns around, cuddling up to others, playing tears and singing new words.

The good times, who would have guessed that it will last for a long time, and the melancholy lingers secretly.

If you want to respond to Miaowu Qingge, you still sigh for the autumn scenery.
