Chapter 141: Empress Dowager Hu 1
There is a queen in history, the first half of her life is an unspeakably expensive queen, but the second half of her life is a chicken who can be a man, and she takes making chickens for fun, she is the queen of Gao Zhan, the fourth emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. After the loss of the throne of the queen mother www.biquge.info the fall of the country, she quickly adjusted her state, and the famous words she left for future generations are: "It is much happier to be a chicken than to be a queen." ”
There are many queens and empress dowagers in Chinese history, but the empress dowager like her, who is absurd, incorruptible, and willing to fall into the dust, is the only one in history. It should be said that chickens rely on eating youth, but Queen Hu, as a half-old, is still charming, flamboyant, and has no empty guests, which makes Chang'an City have no widowers at night, and the absent men do not complain.
The key is that she is the queen mother of the previous dynasty, and her worth is incomparably high, and her appearance fee is high. Men have a desire to conquer, who doesn't want to sleep with the Empress Dowager? Moreover, the Empress Dowager Hu is highly skilled and has a good appearance, so as long as she is a man with normal physiology, she will all regard being able to kiss the Empress Dowager Hu's skin as the supreme glory.
Empress Dowager Hu was the empress of Emperor Wucheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty, her father Hu Yanzhi was the Shangshu Ling of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and her mother was the daughter of Lu Daoyao, a member of the Fanyang clan. The Fanyang Lu clan was a famous family in the north at that time, and the noble background of the Hu clan can be imagined. With such a good genetic inheritance, coupled with excellent living conditions and a good educational environment, it can be inferred that Hu's appearance, figure, beauty and wisdom are absolutely superb.
It is said that before Hu was born, a Hu monk passed by the door of Hu Yanzhi's house and secretly left a strange sentence: "There is a moon in the gourd of this family." ”
So when Hu Yanzhi heard this, he was very happy, he stroked his wife Lu's belly and said: "People say that the sun symbolizes the emperor, the moon symbolizes the queen, and there is a moon in the gourd, which means that you must be pregnant with a girl in your belly, and you will definitely be able to become a queen in the future." "When she was pregnant in October, Lu gave birth to a daughter.
There is also a legend that when Hu was born, there was an owl chirping very violently in the tent outside, which some people believe is a bad omen. That's why there will be later prosperity and then decline, first rich and then poor, first expensive and then cheap. Whether it is good or bad, there can be so many legends at birth, which shows that Hu was not an ordinary person in the first place.
Because of the previous prophecy, Hu Yanzhi and his wife naturally loved their daughter and cultivated them carefully. Not to mention hiring a tutor, I often participate in various trainings in society. Although it took a lot of money, it was not in vain after all, and it took more than ten years to create a cardamom girl with both talent and beauty, with a beautiful and beautiful figure, beautiful and smooth curves, and the chest, waistline, and hips are all golden ratios. The skin is like washing, it can be broken by blowing, as long as a man can see him, his soul will not think of peace, and the reputation of her beauty is spread far and wide, enough to subvert a country.
The beautiful Hu family was selected as the princess by Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and began to live from the silver nest to the golden nest. The four brothers of the Gao family took turns to become the emperor under the principle of the Empress Dowager Lou's bowl of water and leveling, and it was Gao Zhan's turn to become the emperor of Northern Qi, and the princess of Changguang, Hu Shi, also became the queen of Northern Qi, and sure enough, she fulfilled the previous prophecy of Hu Seng.
On the night when Gao Zhan established Hu as the queen, he broke into Zhaoxin Palace with wine and forced his sister-in-law Li Zu'e to be with him. Leaving the beautiful Hu family aside, it is a pity that the Hu family's flower and moon appearance, in the deep resentment of the breeze and bright moon, are also fluffy and lonely. This is in line with the old saying, children are their own good, and their wives are other people's good.
Of course, the merry Queen Hu couldn't bear the loneliness of the palace, and soon the red apricot came out of the wall, and hooked up with Gao Zhan's cronies and retinue, and Gao Zhan's crown had an extra pale green.
He Shikai was in a high position in the Northern Qi Dynasty and was extremely favored, and the emperor obeyed him. And what is even more puzzling is that he and Empress Hu are openly together, the scandal of the defilement of the palace, the courtiers' sideways, and the uproar of the people. But the Emperor of Northern Qi still turned a deaf ear, handled it calmly, and his trust in him continued to increase.
Since ancient times, the emperor is a gentleman like a mountain, a monarch like a tiger, moody, a little disobedient to the emperor, will be axe and add items. The emperor's wife, who dares to sleep, is indeed bold enough. If Gao Zhan is compared to a tiger, then He Shikai is an excellent animal trainer, who can move freely in the Northern Qi court and monopolize power, which is really a master. He distinguishes relatives and dislikes from others, and he can be said to be the first minister in the ages, and it is difficult for future generations to look at him.
He Shikai was a Hu person in the Western Regions, and he had a tradition of doing business since ancient times, and came to the Central Plains in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. To the generation of He Shikai's father, He An, took the road of combining government and business, and successively served as a scholar in the middle school, Yizhou Assassin History, etc., and He Shikai was able to enter the Guozijian for education as the son of a high-ranking official.
Gao Zhan was named the king of Changguang, and the special recruitment of monks entered the curtain and served as the palace to join the army. The interaction between people pays attention to fate, and the same person, some people regard it as an enemy, and some people regard it as a friend. Gao Zhan and He Shikai were inseparable, and the two were so good that they only wore a pair of pants.
At that time, Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang thought that He Shikai was a sycophancy and a future trouble, so he was released from Beijing and cut off the relationship between the two. But Gao Zhan couldn't leave the monk Kai, and soon became haggard, begged his mother, the Empress Dowager Lou, and brought the monk back to the capital.
After Gao Zhan ascended the throne, he immediately named He Shikai as a servant, and Shikai's mother died, and he kept filial piety at home as usual. As soon as He Shikai left, Gao Zhan seemed to have lost his soul, and sent the Wuwei general Lu Fen to Heshikai's house, as the emperor's envoy, to convey greetings and feedback in time, and as soon as the mourning period ended, he urged He Shikai to return to the imperial court.
On the day of his return to the court, Gao Zhan specially sent an ox cart to take him to the palace, Gao Zhan held the hands of the monks, and looked at him with great attention, like a pair of lovers who had been absent for a long time. The snot was full of tears, flowing endlessly, choked so much that he couldn't speak, and the people around him comforted him for a long time before he reluctantly let the monk leave.
He Shikai is very good at figuring out Gao Zhan's thoughts, if Gao Zhan doesn't like it, he doesn't say half a word, but what he says is something humorous and ambiguous, which is a profane language that Gao Zhan likes to hear. Gao Zhan often said: "Aiqing is like a roundworm that burrows into my stomach." "It is true that He Shikai is a minister, but at the same time he is also a capable person.
He Shikai is a clever man, good at playing the pipa, and is also good at a game called holding a lance. People who often have the ability will often be arrogant and arrogant, not good or disdainful of serving, and Heshikai is just the opposite. He has great skills, and can spit lotus flowers in his mouth, and Shikai is definitely a person with high IQ and emotional intelligence.
Gao Zhan suffers from incurable asthma and avoids alcohol, while Gao Zhan is addicted to alcohol and has no temperance, which may be the occupational disease of the deaf emperor. He Shikai often advised Gao Zhan to quit drinking, but Gao Zhan didn't take it seriously, and once Gao Zhan coughed violently when he was drinking, and he couldn't catch his breath several times. He Shikai was also so uncomfortable that he wept, choked up and couldn't speak, and Shikai's heartache and worried expression made Gao Zhan very moved, and vowed not to drink again.
The free rider often served Zu Mao and the monk Kai as good friends, and they were a little worried when they saw that the two of them were together and didn't talk about the courtesy of a monarch and a minister at all. He said to He Shikai in private: "Your Majesty's grace to you is rare, but if Your Majesty has an accident one day, what will happen to you?"
When the monk heard this, he also felt as if the danger was imminent, and he couldn't help but feel worried. So he asked Zu Mao for advice. Zu Mao offered a plan that Gao Zhan should be persuaded to give Gao Wei the position of Zen, so that he would occupy the first hand in the favor of support, and Gao Wei would thank him for his kindness, and he could rest easy.
He Shi Kailian called it a clever plan, and decided to follow the plan, and at the first opportunity, he instilled in Gao Zhan the idea of having fun in time: "Since ancient times, emperors have all been turned into ashes, even if they are Yao, Shun, Ji, and Xu, what is the difference? Your Majesty should take advantage of the youth and strength, and enjoy it wantonly, that is, to live happily for a thousand years. As long as you instruct the minister to handle state affairs, if you don't have any worries, you don't have to work so hard. ”
After Gao Zhan agreed with He Shikai's exposition of the meaning of life and his judgment on the value of life, he timely persuaded Gao Zhan to abdicate and become the emperor, so that he had both the authority of the emperor and the leisurely of the emperor, but there was no burden of political affairs, so that he could focus more on pleasure. So the mediocre Gao Zhan was located in Gao Wei, and he became the emperor who didn't care about everything, and since then he has lived in a simple place and enjoyed himself to the fullest.
Hu was promoted from queen to queen mother, and she was only in her twenties that year, which was the graceful years of a woman's spring.
And Gao Zhan lives in the palace and specializes in pleasure, when a person has everything, there is nothing that can make him feel happy, because there is no excitement and being moved in life, Gao Zhan is immersed in the gentle countryside all day long, numbing himself and destroying himself. Three years later, he finally died of an over-drinking illness in the Ganshou Palace.
In this way, He Shikai became the minister of Tuogu, the trustee of Empress Dowager Hu, and the trustee of Empress Dowager Hu's love.
The scimitar is facing the scoop to cut vegetables, Gao Zhan and the queen Hu Shi, male birds and female beasts, they are a perfect match. Gao Zhan doted on the emperor's sister-in-law Li Zu'e and often stayed in Zhaoxin Palace, although the Hu family was the queen, it was lonely in the deep palace. Empress Hu, who was dissolute by nature, couldn't bear the loneliness, first blasphemed with the eunuchs in the palace, and later developed Shi Kai to become her semi-public lover.
He Shikai is a mixed race of Hu and Han, with red lips and white teeth, sharp edges and corners, and a graceful character. He can play the pipa well and be good at holding the lance, which is a game of ancient gambling. Empress Dowager Hu said that she also wanted to learn to hold a lance, and Emperor Gao Zhan ordered the young Empress Dowager to teach the young Empress Dowager to learn to play with a lance, and asked them to learn by heart, and the other to teach hard, not enough during the day, and continue to do it at night.
In fact, Empress Dowager Hu wanted to learn to hold a lance because she wanted to take the opportunity to get close to He Shikai, and He Shikai was also willing to get close to Empress Dowager Hu in order to consolidate his position in the court. Lang had the intention of coming to his sister, and the two soon hooked up. Gao Zhan was drinking on the side, and he was smirking nonsense, as if he also understood the intentions of the two.
Gao Xiaoyu, the king of Henan, was the eldest son of Emperor Gao Cheng of Wenxiang, and he tactfully admonished Gao Zhan and said: "The queen mother is the mother of the world, how can she have skin contact with her subordinates?"
In fact, Gao Zhan knew about the relationship between the Hu family and He Shikai, and instead of blaming them, he intended to fulfill them and create opportunities for them. At the request of the Empress Dowager Hu, he was promoted to the Yellow Gate Squire, and the Hu family immediately bribed the palace maid to let the monk enter the palace, and the monk Kai tried his best to satisfy the Empress Dowager Hu on the bed.
