The two pills went down to his stomach, Zhu Gaochi was very hot, and after drinking three cups of tea soup in a row, he felt a little better, and was about to close his eyes and take a nap, when he suddenly frowned, and sat up again, just for a while, the feeling of being full of power just now, no longer existed, so he couldn't help but panic, he shook his palm, and he didn't have half of his strength. His heart was surprised and anxious, right now, he needed that kind of spirit and spirit, thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the brocade box, he couldn't wait to open the brocade box, took out the last two pills, and swallowed them as soon as he raised his head.

About a cup of tea, that familiar feeling once again filled the whole body, he looked at the brocade box, and breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart said This kind of elixir has such an effect on my body, it seems that tomorrow I have to let the second brother pay a few more tributes, just thinking about his thoughts, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, a murmuring voice said: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty?" ”

After the two pills were in his stomach, the warm feeling made Zhu Gaochi very eager for that little thing, at this time, he saw Huang's eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were like ink, under a moon-white long skirt, the bulging chest, and the willow-branch-like small waist made his eyes shine, and the feeling of being hot all over his body had already made him impatient, and hurriedly stepped down from the dragon chair and grabbed Huang Fei's little hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Ai Concubine-?" ”

Concubine Huang saw that Zhu Gaochi Mo didn't look sick on weekdays, and she was secretly surprised when she looked like a dragon and a tiger, "Daddy gave spices and it really worked, can I ask someone to let Daddy get more another day?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was full of lust at this time, and he couldn't care about being polite, so he took Concubine Huang's little hand and entered the palace.

Concubine Huang didn't expect Zhu Gaochi to be so anxious, she was ashamed and happy, so she let him pull him into the dormitory, and walked straight to the dragon bed, and the maids on the side helped open the brocade tent and let the two go to the dragon bed, and the two maids were about to come forward to help him untie his clothes, but he didn't want him to go to his clothes, only a white nightgown.

The two maids looked at the appearance and said in their hearts: "Today's emperor seems to be in a hurry?" I wonder if it's a good thing? “

Concubine Huang also felt the same way, but she said that it was the spices on her body that made Zhu Gaochi's desire arouse, and she didn't notice the terrible look on his face, so she let him hurriedly remove his clothes, and stroked it.

Concubine Huang blushed and let him touch it for a while, just waiting for Zhu Gaochi to perform the gift of Zhou Gong, but she heard Zhu Gaochi snort, followed by a cold face, stretched out her hand to touch it, and under the dim candlelight, it was actually a drop of blood, scarlet as fire.

When Concubine Huang saw that it was blood, she was immediately startled, and said in a lost voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" “

Zhu Gaochi only felt dizzy, as if he was about to collapse, and shook his head in a daze: "It's okay, I just used a little more force just now, and the qi and blood surged up, no hindrance, no hindrance, no hindrance......?" “

Under the light, Concubine Huang saw that Zhu Gaochi's face was as yellow as wax, and his nose was still dripping blood, and she was afraid, and said, "Your Majesty, your face-?" “

At this time, Zhu Gaochi only felt that he had no strength in his body, his headache was terrible, and he was groggy and couldn't hear what Concubine Huang was saying, so he just lay on Concubine Huang's body.

Concubine Huang stroked the body on her chest behind her, her hand was extremely hot, and she didn't know what was wrong, she felt faintly scared, and kept calling: "Your Majesty...... 陛xià......? “

Zhu Gaochi didn't seem to hear it, but he gasped for breath.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard Zhu Gaochi suddenly scream: "It hurts to death?" As soon as the words fell, he suddenly held his head with both hands and hit him desperately a few times, and then he curled up on the couch, and his huge body bent into a curved bow......?"

Concubine Huang was so frightened that she forgot to shout for a while.

Zhu Gaochi shouted a few times, his hunched body suddenly opened, and there was immediately a patch of scarlet under the moon-white nightgown, and the pungent smell made people vomit.

Concubine Huang was stunned to see this change, but she didn't come back to her senses for a while, and when she saw the scarlet under Zhu Gao's soft robe, she came back from her fright, opened the white curtain, and shouted in a lost voice: "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor, please ask the imperial doctor, the emperor has fainted!" ”

The two maids were so frightened that they turned around and fled, shouting: "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor, the emperor has fainted, the emperor has fainted!" ”

The news that the emperor fainted on the dragon bed immediately spread in the palace like a tide, Yang Rong just arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion to deal with the matter of the provincial official to Daoli Fei, this matter was in the year ago, the emperor sent the Ministry of Rites to Lu Zhen: the courtiers have been in office for a long time, and now they are all ordered to return to their hometowns and provinces. Those who have won the edict are enough to be proud of their hometown. But there is a fee for raising a sacrificial guest at home, and there is a reasonable fee for it. It is estimated that there are very few surplus funds in addition to the official income for daily use. Therefore, from now on, the provincial officials who return to their hometowns will give them the same fees: Gong, Hou, Bo, first and second products will be given 5,000 guan, three thousand guan will be given to the third grade, 3,000 guan will be given to the fourth grade, 2,000 guan will be given to the fifth grade, 1,000 guan will be given to the sixth and seventh grades, and 500 guan will be given below the eighth grade. and by order. The order has not been issued to the sixth, Yang Rong mentioned this matter yesterday, and was ready to make an excerpt for the emperor to approve the official document on this matter, so as to issue the court civil and military officials, and was concentrating on the pen, when he saw the eunuch Wang Zhen of the inner court hurriedly ran over, and said eagerly: "Lord Yang, the emperor is unconscious, please Lord Yang and the ministers to deal with it quickly?" ”

Although he had expected this result, he was still taken aback when he heard it at first time, and he didn't care about writing excerpts, so he hurriedly put down the lake pen in his hand, glanced left and right and lowered his voice and said, "Does the prince know?" ”

Wang Zhen also glanced left and right and said, "Your Highness still doesn't know?" ”

Yang Rong frowned and said, "Don't you go back to Qin'an Palace?" Hurry to the post house to inform the prince of the news, and ask him to hurry to the palace? ”

Wang Zhen knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say much, answered, saluted, turned around and left.

Yang Rong looked at Wang Zhen's back gradually moving away, and then hurried to the Shunzhen Gate (the north gate of the imperial garden), only to see that when he arrived, Xia Yuanji, Yang Pu and others in the cabinet had arrived, and the inner court had become a mess, occasionally heard a few crying voices, it was actually the harem concubines who rushed to hear the news, because the imperial doctor was in the palace for diagnosis and treatment, if there were too many people who went in, they were afraid of disturbing the emperor, so except for the queen Zhang who went in, the rest of the concubines were all waiting outside the palace, and when they heard the news that the emperor fainted, many concubines began to cry, For a while, the whole Qin'an Palace was so lively.

Yang Pu and the others saw Yang Rong coming, hurriedly greeted him, and personally clasped his fists and saluted, Yang Pu glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Can someone be sent to inform the prince?" ”

Yang Rong nodded solemnly and said, "Have you already sent Wang Zhen?" ”

As soon as he heard that someone was going, Yang Pu was relieved, turned around and nodded quietly at Xia Yuanji and the others, and the rest of the people immediately understood, and everyone immediately felt a little relieved.

Yang Rong glanced at the concubine who was crying and screaming, shook his head, ignored it, and just asked Yang Pu: "How did the emperor's illness happen?" ”

Yang Pu came on the way just now, and the little eunuch had already inquired about it, and he knew the emperor's condition clearly, and then whispered: "The emperor originally approved the performance, and somehow asked the little eunuch to eat a few elixirs from the Han King, and the emperor had a headache after eating, and then he fell unconscious, and the imperial doctors were helpless.

At this time, it was already noon, everyone waited for a while, and still did not see the imperial doctor come out, and they couldn't help but be a little nervous, Yang Pu looked inside, and then looked at the crying concubines, and sighed in his heart: "I don't know how many are buried this time?" “

Yang Pu said that the funeral, since not jade, bronze, slaves, musical instruments, ritual instruments and other handicrafts, but living people, this kind of living burial habits, is a cruel and barbaric religious behavior, how many people are martyred each time, there is no specific implementation standard, but there is a rough. Mozi once said that after the death of the Son of Heaven, there were hundreds of martyrs, and dozens of martyrs, and dozens of martyrs at the level of generals and doctors.

This bad habit was extremely prevalent in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Qin Wugong died, "the first person was martyred, and there were sixty-six servants", among which three good ministers were martyred. Before Qin Mugong died, he wanted the ministers to go to Huangquan with him, and once drank with the ministers, and when everyone was drunk, he said: "We monarchs and ministers, we will be happy together when we are alive, and we will mourn together after death." The three ministers of Dyingxi, Zhongxing, and Needle Tiger didn't know whether they were loyal to Mu Gong's old man, or because of alcohol, and talked nonsense, but they expressed their willingness to die with him on the spot. This statement did not matter, and after Mu Gong died, they followed him into the mausoleum. After this bad custom passed through the Qin and Han dynasties, the custom of burial of living people declined, and burial was mostly an accidental event, no longer a system.

However, the entry of frontier peoples into the Central Plains has led to the resurgence of the burial of the living, and even become an institution. After the death of Liaotai Zuyelu Abaoji, Empress Shu Luping even forced more than 100 ministers to be martyred. The burial custom of the Jurchen nobles of the Jin Dynasty was not to use a coffin but to be buried, 'the dead were buried without a coffin, and the nobles burned the slaves and maids they were favored, and the saddle horses they rode were martyred'. The burial of the living reached its peak in the Yuan Dynasty. When Genghis Khan died, he was buried with forty noble women. When Genghis Khan's grandson Mengwu died, "on the way to the funeral, he was killed by more than 20,000 people." ”

The Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang restored this inhumane bad habit, and used more concubines to accompany the funeral, these concubines were worried about the emperor's body is true, and they were more worried about their own fate, they were still young, who didn't want to live a few more years? ”

Yang Rong sighed in his heart, this kind of bad habit is indeed a little unkind, but the rules set by Hong Wuye can not be touched, seeing these young and beautiful concubines, he really has some sympathy, but he can't care about sympathy at this time, Yang Pu's words have already talked about martyrdom, that is enough to show the emperor's body-? “

ps: Interesting facts on both sides, not counting the number of words, please enjoy it!

"The Book of Rites•Tan Gong" records: Chen Ziche died in Weiguo, his wife and the housekeeper planned to be buried with a living person, and after the two discussed, Chen Zikang came, and they said to Chen Zikang: "Mr. Ziche died of illness, and the sick person went underground and had no one to serve him, so we plan to bury him with a human martyr." Chen Zikang said: "Employing people for burial is not in line with the etiquette system. He was sick and needed to be served, but who better to serve him than his wife and steward? If you have to use people to be martyred, I think it is most appropriate to use the two of you as martyrs. Chen Ziche's wife and housekeeper were shocked and never mentioned the burial of a person again. Another named Chen Qianxi, when he was seriously ill, summoned his brother and son to the bedside and instructed his son Chen Zunji: "If I die, I must make my coffin bigger and let my two maids hold me." His son said, "It is not proper to use human burial, and I have not heard of anyone putting a martyr in the same coffin as the dead!" At Chen Zunji's insistence, the two maid rings were finally not buried in the grave.

"Warring States Policy•Qin Ce" records that the Empress Dowager Xuan of the Qin State hooked up with the minister Wei Choufu, and fell in love with each other. When Empress Dowager Xuan was seriously ill, she ordered: "After I die, I must be buried with Mr. Wei." When Wei Choufu learned about it, he was scared to death. His friend Yong Rui volunteered to persuade the Queen Mother to take back her fate. Yong Rui said: "Queen Mother, do you think that people will still be conscious after death?" The Queen Mother replied, "Of course I don't have any sense." Yong Rui saw that she was in the trap, so she said: "A wise person like you, the Queen Mother, knows that the dead are unconscious, why do you want to let the person you love in life die in vain and bury him with the unconscious dead?" The first king was very dissatisfied with you when he was alive, and if the dead were conscious, then if you brought a man to the ground, wouldn't the first king hate you even more, and then it would be too late for you to repent of your sins! How can there be any leisure to fall in love with Mr. Wei? When Empress Dowager Xuan heard him like this, she had no choice but to cut her love. Wei Choufu escaped to death.
