Know all about the secrets of the harem

Chapter 60
"My brother once teased my wife, I should repay him today." So Ren Yuan's bedroom threatened each other with a knife.Yuanshi didn't dare to go against his will, so he had to take off his clothes and belts, and obeyed his orders.When his mother, Empress Dowager Lou, heard about this, she summoned Gao Yang to reprimand her. She raised her staff and beat Gao Yang, saying, "Just like your father, just like your brother!"

Probably the absurd character is the inheritance of the Gao family.Gao Yang got up and ran out after receiving the cane a few times, pointing back to the Queen Mother and saying, "This old mother should be married to a barbarian!" Queen Mother Lou was furious, and never spoke or laughed again.Gao Yang also felt that he had gone too far, and apologized to the Queen Mother many times, but the Queen Mother Lou was still angry and never looked at him directly.Gao Yang felt bored, so he had to drink to relieve his boredom. After getting drunk, he felt old feelings, and came to the Queen Mother's palace again, prostrated on the ground and said that he regretted it.Empress Dowager Lou still ignored her, Gao Yang couldn't help feeling annoyed, and lifted the queen mother's couch with his hands.The Empress Dowager didn't take precautions, and suddenly fell to the ground. She was helped up by a maid, with scars on her face. At that time, she became more and more angry, and immediately took Gao Yangchen out of the palace.

Gaoyue, the king of Qinghe, loves wine and sex. He once called the sisters of Xue's family, a kabuki in Yexia, to drink for pleasure.Later, the Xue sisters entered the harem and were favored by Gao Yang.Sister Xue asked Situ for an official position for her father, and Gao Yang was furious: "Officer Situ, how can I ask for it?"Because Xue's sister had given Gao Yue wine, Gao Yang suspected that Gao Yue had committed adultery with her, so he gave Gao Yue poisoned wine.Gao Yue had no choice but to take the poison and died.Gao Yang still couldn't let go of his hatred, so he personally cut off the head of Xue's sister, hid it in his arms, and went to the banquet in Dongshan.The food and wine were served, and the ministers attended the banquet. Everyone persuaded each other to drink at the banquet, and the atmosphere was very happy.Gao Yang suddenly reached out and took out Xue's head, and threw it on the plate, he was shocked.Then ordered the left and right to take Xue's body, cut her into eight pieces, made a pipa out of her bones, played and drank wine, wept while drinking, and murmured to himself, "It's hard to find a beautiful woman again." When the corpse was returned, Gao Yang walked with his hair disheveled, weeping, and buried him himself.

Gao Yang's pranks became more and more cruel.Once Gao Yang took a trip to the house of Empress Li's mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law Cui came out to meet her, but Gao Yang shot an arrow, which hit Cui's cheek.Cui Shi asked why, and Gao Yang said angrily, "I didn't know the Empress Dowager when I was drunk. The old maid asked me why?" go.Arriving at the home of Pengcheng King Gaoyu, although Erzhu's mother is middle-aged, she still has a charming charm.Mrs. Erzhu was a little embarrassed and refused to cooperate. Gao Yang became angry and immediately drew his knife to chop off Mrs. Erzhu's head and died.Gao Yang killed Mrs. Erzhu, and then went to the home of Yuan Ang, the king of Wei Anle. Yuan Ang's wife, Mrs. Li, was the queen's sister, and she was quite beautiful.After Gao Yang's family room, he hugged Li Shi, Li Shi was afraid of his lustful power and dared not refuse, and a period of joyous love was achieved.

From then on, Gao Yang went to Yuan Ang's house to look for Li Shi many times, and planned to accept Li Shi as Zhaoyi.He called Yuan Ang to the hall, made him prostrate on the ground, and personally drew a bow and shot Yuan Ang with more than a hundred arrows. The blood flowed all over the ground and he died on the spot.After brutally killing Yuan Ang, Gao Yang pretended to be sad, went to mourn, and hugged Li in front of the mourning hall.

tyrannical king, bloodthirsty

However, Gao Yang soon became full of ambition, and gradually became violent, and he was really a different person.The wounded soldiers on the battlefield were difficult to heal, so Gao Yang simply ordered them to have their internal organs ripped out, so that they could be eaten separately, and their bones and bones were instantly depleted.Since then, it has become commonplace to treat people like animals, cut and cook them.Gao Yang gradually indulged in debauchery and sexual violence.Sometimes, he dances and sings alone, from morning to night until all night.Sometimes he bares his body, wears makeup on his face, disheveled hair, wears nondescript clothes, and swims in the market with his sword and bow drawn.In the scorching summer or the cold midwinter, taking off his clothes and running wildly, his followers find it unbearable, but he lives in peace.

He usually travels and likes to wear warrior's clothes and keeps his weapon in his hand. Once he saw a woman with a bright face on the way, so he asked, "What do you think the Son of Heaven is like today?" The woman didn't know him, so she rashly Say:

"Looking like an insane man, what kind of emperor is he?" Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yang chopped him into two pieces.

Gao Yang displayed large woks, long saws, files, pestles, etc. on the Golden Temple, and every time he got drunk, he often used murder as a joke.

Because he kept drinking from morning to night, he also kept killing from morning to night.Zuo Cheng Lu Fei, Li Shu, and Governor Han Zhe were all killed without guilt.Prime Minister Yang Qing was regarded as a slave by Gao Yang, and he whipped Yang Bei's back, bleeding his robe.

Once, Yang Qing exposed his belly and wanted to cut his belly open with a knife, but thanks to Cui Jishu's jokes, Yang Qing was saved from death.Because Gao Yang likes to kill people, Yang Qing chooses the death row prisoner from Yexia, who is called a prisoner for the imperial court, to play for Gao Yang.

Gao Yang asked people to make many kites, and then sent someone to escort the 720 members of the former clan to the 27-foot-high Jinfeng Terrace. A prisoner gave a kite and ordered them to fly to the sky on the kite.Some people were scared to death on the spot, and most of the kites were smashed to pieces as soon as they left Jinfeng Terrace.A man named Huangtou flew down from Jinfengtai with a kite and landed unscathed until five miles away.Huang Tou was glad that he survived the catastrophe, but Gao Yang was not happy, and immediately sent someone to put him in prison, where he starved to death.

In the sixth year of Tianbao, Gao Yang issued an edict to abolish Taoism, reprimanding "those who offer sacrifices to Taoism, lie in the world", and ordered all Taoist priests to shave their hair and enter the Shamen. .

Dian Yucheng Li Ji confronted him and compared Gao Yang to Jie Zhou. Gao Yang immediately ordered Li Ji to be tied up and thrown into the water, and he was pulled up after a long time.He asked Li Ji again, "Am I the same as Jie and Zhou?" Li Ji said seriously, "I'm afraid I'm not as good as Jie and Zhou!" Gao Yang threw him into the water again.After throwing it three times in a row and asking three times, Li Ji answered as before.Gao Yang laughed and said:

"There are such idiots in the world, we know that Long Pang and Bigan are not handsome!" He waved Li Ji away.Soon Li Ji was going to speak up again, Gao Yang saw what he meant, and ordered the left and right to drive Li Ji out of the way.When Gao Yang was young, Prime Minister Gao Longzhi had been rude to him, but now remembering his past hatred, he ordered Gao Longzhi to be killed.It was not enough to relieve the hatred, so more than 20 sons of Gao Longzhi were called to the front of the horse.

Gao Yang built palaces extensively, and sent labor to build the Great Wall, which was more than three thousand miles long from east to west.At that time, there were many locusts in the north and south of the river, covering the sky and the sun, and eating up the crops.Gao Yang asked Wei Juncheng Cui Shuzan: "What caused the locusts?" Cui Shuzan said: "There is a saying in the annals of the Five Elements: If the earthwork is not done from time to time, the locusts will cause disasters. Now the Great Wall is built outside and the palace is built inside, which is just like what the annals of the Five Elements said." Gao Yang did not need to say. After that, he became furious and ordered Cui Shuzan to be beaten left and right, and he was dipped in the toilet to taste the smell of excrement, and then he was pulled out by the feet.

Yong'an Wang Gaojun is Gao Yang's third brother. Gao Yang was not good at dressing up when he was a child, and his nose was always on his lips. Gao Jun scolded Gao Yang and said, "Why don't you wipe your nose for the second brother!" Gao Yang held a grudge for this.After Gao Yang ascended the throne, he stabbed Gao Jun with a lance, but Gao Jun pulled the lance off. Gao Yang became more angry and locked Gao Jun in an iron cage.Gao Yangming lit a fire in the cage, and then filled it with earth and rocks.Later, when the body was dug up, Gao Jun's skin and hair were scorched, and his remains were like charcoal.

Prince Gao Yin was tutored by Confucian scholars when he was a child, and he was well-known for his etiquette and studiousness. Gao Yang often felt that he was not like himself, thinking that he was cowardly and unable to ascend the throne, and wanted to abolish him.One day, when he climbed to Jinfengtai, he summoned the prince Gao Yin to accompany him, and ordered the prince to kill the prisoner with his hands.The prince was sympathetic, with a troubled expression on his face, and refused to strike again and again.Gao Yang whipped the prince with a horsewhip, and the prince was frightened to the point of insanity, and since then suffered from a sudden mental illness.

The right servant of the Shangshu, Cui Siam, repeatedly remonstrated. Gao Yang thought that he was an old minister, and he was very tolerant.Soon after Cui Siam passed away, Gao Yang went to pay his respects in person, and asked Cui Siam's wife, Li Shi, "Do you miss your old husband?" Look at him?" As he spoke, he drew his knife and waved, Li's head fell, and Gao Yang picked up the head and threw it outside the wall.

After Gao Yang got drunk, he gradually lost his mind, singing and dancing wildly or killing people for fun.After the murder, the body was burned or thrown into the river.One day he asked a cronies: "Wang Mang took the world of the Liu family at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, why was Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu able to take it back?" Because he didn’t exterminate all members of the Liu clan.” Gao Yang believed the words of his cronies, and immediately arrested 25 families including Yuan Shizhe, and detained 19 families including Yuan Shao.In the end, the killings were simply carried out. Regardless of whether the men were young or old, they killed a total of 3000 people and dumped their bodies in Zhangshui.The fish in the water competed to eat the carcasses, and the common people took the fish and disemboweled them, and people's fingernails were often visible.

In a trance due to alcohol.Gao Yang often claimed to have seen ghosts or heard strange noises. By the time Gao Yang was 30 years old, his life was in critical condition. He could not eat normally and had to drink alcohol every day.Not long after, he became ill. There seemed to be a hard object in his throat, and he was unable to eat. He was 31 years old when he died.

Several generations of Northern Qi emperors were all vicious and absurd figures, and their actions were unbelievable.Gao Yang is the most typical tyrant among them, perhaps with hereditary psychotic factors.According to historical records, Gao Yang is fond of literature, has beauty instruments, can climb palace walls with a stone lion under his arm, and has exquisite archery skills.But the kings of licentiousness are often first-class figures with extraordinary intelligence, such as Shang Zhou, Sui Yangdi, and those emperors in the Northern Qi Dynasty.Ordinary people live in disorder, most of them are just "flirty", but being the king of a country is an unforgivable crime.Because its actions not only harm the country, but also the people.British politician William Pitt said: "Unrestricted power tends to corrupt the hearts of those in power."

Empress Hu of the Northern Qi Dynasty: Privately kept male favorites
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Qi Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty with six emperors. In 28 years, the main reason for its demise was the king’s obscurity and violence. A notoriously sensual queen in history.After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this queen can be described as the death of her husband, son, and country.However, after the subjugation of the country, this person actually started a prostitute business. From a prostitute to a queen, there are endless books in ancient and modern times, and from a queen to a prostitute, I am afraid that he is the only one in history.

emperor lewd
In 550 A.D., Gao Yang abolished the Emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty with no good opinion and proclaimed himself emperor.Before his death, the lustful and brutal Emperor Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty said to his younger brother Gao Yan: "If you want to usurp the throne of my heir, I have nothing to do, but please don't kill my heir!" Incessantly, I knelt down and said that I dare not.After Gao Yang's death, Prince Gao Yin ascended the throne, respecting his grandmother Lou as the Empress Dowager, his mother Li as the Empress Dowager, Jin Changshan Wang Gaoyan as Taifu, and Changguang Wang Gao Zhan as Situ.

However, less than a year after Gao Yin came to the throne, he was deposed by the Lou family as King of Jinan, and his uncle Gao Yan usurped the throne and became emperor.Because Lou is Gao Yan's mother, she also returned from the status of empress dowager to empress dowager.Gao Yan's concubine Yuanshi became the queen, and her 5-year-old son was established as the prince for a hundred years.Soon after, the 17-year-old deposed emperor Gao Yin was killed in Jinyang.

Two months later, Gao Yan fell ill and died. When he was dying, he left a suicide note to his younger brother Gao Zhan, letting him succeed the emperor. Behind the suicide note was written: "You should take good care of my wife and children. Don't learn from me."

After Gao Zhan came to the throne, he heard that the empress Yuanshi, the late emperor Gaoyan, had a strange medicine, so he sent someone to ask for it from Yuanshi, but Yuanshi flatly refused.Gao Zhan was angry from the bottom of his heart, and ordered the eunuch to drive a car and humiliate Empress Yuan face to face.Empress Yuan didn't dare to retort, she could only swallow her anger, shed tears silently, crying her eyes like peaches, and went to Gao Yan's mausoleum alone to weep.Gao Zhan was still angry, so he demoted her to Shuncheng Palace and imprisoned her.

In the first month of the second year, Gao Zhan made his concubine Hu the queen.Hu is the daughter of Hu Yan from Anding. When she was born, there were owls hooting on the tent outside. At that time, people thought it was not an auspicious omen.Hu Shi and Empress Ji were selected as the concubine of Changguang Wang Gao Zhan. She is very ordinary in appearance, but extremely lewd in temperament.Gao Zhan is also a lascivious son of Gao Liang, and getting such a wife can be said to complement each other.

On the night when the empress was canonized, a banquet was held in the harem to celebrate. Gao Zhan was already half drunk in the outer hall. At this time, he staggered into the empress official. Say:
"It's all a family here, don't be restrained." Then he opened his eyes and glanced at these women one by one, and suddenly saw a handsome middle-aged woman, he couldn't help thinking about it.Take a closer look.It turned out to be sister-in-law Li Zu'e, who was the empress of Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang and the mother of Emperor Gao Yin who was deposed.

Gao Zhan swallowed, fidgeting there.But there were too many people around, and I was too embarrassed to strike up a conversation, so I had to suppress my lust and go back to sleep with a few perfunctory words.That night when he was having a rainy day with Empress Hu, he was thinking about his sister-in-law Li Zu'e, and he was even more depressed after falling asleep exhausted.

After finally surviving until the evening of the second day, Gao Zhan left his entourage and came to Zhaoxin official where Li Zue lived.When a court lady reported to Li Zu'e, she was very suspicious, not knowing what the new emperor was doing here, but she also had a vague premonition that Gao Zhan might have become lustful.Li Zu'e was a widow and lonely. She hoped that Gao Zhan would rape her, but also feared such incest.

When Gao Zhan arrived at Officer Zhaoxin, he sat there without saying a word, but fixed his eyes on Li Shi's delicate and beautiful face.Li Zu'e was startled and ashamed, she lowered her head and asked: "What is Your Majesty doing here so late?" Gao Zhan said with a smile: "There is nothing to do at night, I specially accompany the emperor's wife to sit." Li Zu'e said: "Your Majesty's post-official is beautiful Ruyun, where can't I be entertained, come to my concubine alone..." Gao Zhan said again: "I haven't gotten close to the beauty of the emperor's wife since I came to the throne, and I'm here to meet you tonight." Speaking of this is purely teasing , Li Zu'e blushed, got up and left.Gao Zhan grabbed her skirt, and Li Zu'e said in horror: "As the emperor, why don't you care about your name?" While speaking, Gao Zhan pushed her with his hand, but Gao Zhan staggered without precaution.He became angry and said, "Today, if you obey me, you must obey. If you don't obey, you must obey, or you will kill your son!"

Threatening her son, Li Zu'e dared not refuse any more, and the face powder was soaked in cold sweat.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand dollars, and Gao Zhan feels that a long night is just a short moment.Suddenly seeing the bright sky outside the window, Gao Zhan sighed, and then reluctantly got up and left the official to go to court.From then on, Gao Zhan stayed with Li Zu'e every night, and she became pregnant after a few degrees of spring breeze.

Gao Zhan was so busy here, and Queen Hu was not idle there.He Shikaiwu is good at holding the lance, and the literary worker is good at playing the pipa, and he is a romantic and handsome person.When Gao Zhan was the king of Changguang, He Shikai had already gained Gao Zhan's trust.After Gao Zhan came to the throne, he was promoted to Heshikai as a servant.Empress Hu had secretly fallen in love with He Shikai before, and at this time, taking advantage of Gao Zhan's incest with her sister-in-law, she bribed the court ladies to lure He Shikai into the official fornication.He Shikai tried his best to satisfy Queen Hu on the bed, and while they were having fun, they also made a thousand oaths to be a pair of mandarin ducks for a long time.Gao Zhan is always afraid that Empress Hu will blame him for his relationship with Li Zu'e, and he agrees without hesitation to any request of Empress Hu.Empress Hu took the opportunity to talk about the benefits of her lover and Shikai, so Gao Zhan promoted He Shikai to be the servant of the Huangmen.The servants of Huangmen and Shi Kai were good at flattering, and what he said was extremely obscene and obscene, which Gao Zhan just liked to hear.He Shikai said to Gao Zhan: "Since ancient times, there have been no immortal emperors. Yao and Shun, like Jie and Zhou, turned into ashes after death. There is no difference. Your Majesty's spring and autumn prosperity is a great opportunity to enjoy yourself in time. One day of happiness is worth hundreds of years. State affairs You can give it to the ministers as much as you want, why bother yourself with ordinary things!" Gao Zhan agreed very much, and he only went to court once in a long time, and when he went to court, he left before the chair was firmly seated.He Shikai was good at holding a lance, and Empress Hu also wanted to learn lance, so Gao Zhan ordered He Shikai to teach Queen Hu.Hu Hou and He Shikai have played with the meat spear between the bed curtains for many years, let alone this iron spear.When He Shikai held the lance to teach Queen Hu.The two of them will smile knowingly when they look at each other.Gao Zhan was drinking while smirking along, as if he knew what the two of them were thinking.Henan Wang Gao Xiaoyu was the eldest son of Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng. He tactfully remonstrated with Gao Zhan, saying: "The queen is the mother of the world. How can she touch the skin of her subjects?" Gao Zhan didn't take it seriously at all.Gao Zhan didn't take it seriously for wearing a cuckold, but Gao Xiaoyu liked to worry about others. He also wrote a letter saying that the father of Gao Rui, the king of Zhaojun, had an affair with Xiaoer Zhu, and was killed by Gao Huan. Such a person should not be close.

Both Gao Rui and He Shikai hated Gao Xiaoyu because of this, so they slandered him privately, only saying that there was the King of Henan, not His Majesty.In fact, Gao Xiaoyu was also a careless person who behaved carelessly. He once secretly had an affair with Er Zhunu, an official of the Empress Dowager Lou.Gao Zhan immediately summoned Gao Xiaoyu and forced him to drink 37 glasses of wine.After Gao Xiaoyu finished drinking, she fell to the ground with a plop and fell unconscious.Gao Zhan ordered Gao Xiaoyu to be pulled out with calved carts. On the way Gao Xiaoyu woke up and asked for tea to hangover, but was poisoned to death with poisoned wine instead of tea and thrown into the river.

Zu Mao, a regular attendant of Sanqi in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was an adulterer with He Shikai. He privately said to He Shikai: "There is no other person who has been favored like you in ancient and modern times, but your Majesty will be gone one day. May I ask how you can overcome the beginning and end?" What?" He Shikai couldn't help feeling sad when he heard what he said, he asked Zu Mao for advice.Zu Mao told him that he should persuade Gao Zhan to give the throne to Prince Gao Wei, so that Gao Wei would be free from worries as he thanked him for his kindness.He Shikai followed his plan, and Gao Zhan also felt that it was too tiring to deal with political affairs. It would be better to be the Supreme Emperor so that he could have enough time to devote himself to lust.So in the fourth year of Heqing, the Zen seat was given to Prince Gao Wei.At this time, Gao Zhan was only 29 years old, and his physical energy gradually declined due to indulgence in drinking and sex. Soon after becoming the Supreme Emperor, his condition worsened, and he died of illness within a few years.

Later, after the fall of the Qi State, the Empress Dowager Hu was used to living a life of rich clothes and fine food, and she couldn't bear hardships, so she was reduced to the fireworks in the surrounding area to make a living by selling laughter.After the news spread, people from Chang'an rushed to go, and there was a crowd of people for a while.
