Chapter 19: Official and Military Prostitutes

Lan Zhihe suddenly asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know what an official prostitute is?" What is a military prostitute? ”

Official prostitutes and military prostitutes, Fengyun naturally knew, because the master had bitterly denounced this system to him, although many historical books and classics rarely mentioned it, or often mentioned it in one stroke, because it was something that those pretentious literati and writers and emperors of the past did not have to do with outsiders.

The earliest government-run brothel in China was opened by Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. "Warring States Policy. The Eastern Zhou Ce recorded that "there are seven cities in the palace of Qi Huan, and there are seven hundred women". Nulu, i.e. a place where prostitutes live. Guan Zhong opened and operated a prostitution business for the purpose of collecting taxes, "vulgar and promiscuous, and the women's market collects men's money to become officials"; The second is to alleviate the hunger and thirst of the vast number of absentees in the market, because the nobles of the palace, scholars and wealthy squires all have a large number of beautiful women, which has caused too many absentees and the imbalance of yin and yang.

When the official prostitute developed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a system of camp prostitutes was separated to provide sexual services for military officers and soldiers.

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty set up a teaching workshop, recruited singing and dancing artists, and indulged in sensuality.

The Tang Dynasty followed the Sui Dynasty's teaching workshop system, and the Merry Emperor Tang Xuanzong expanded the teaching workshop institutions, and the number of teaching workshop artists reached 11,409. He was not satisfied with this, and set up a pear orchard, doing his most debaucherous and shameless deeds.

What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. Especially after Tang Xuanzong set up a teaching workshop, set up a pear orchard, unified 40,000 palace prostitutes for fun, and had an affair with Yang Yuhuan spread all over the government and the opposition, officials at all levels envied and imitated him. There are official prostitutes in the local provinces, towns, prefectures, counties, and military towns, and prostitutes are assigned to accompany them in singing and dancing every festival banquet, welcoming and sending off officials, and entertaining guests.

Historically, there were two major categories of prostitutes, geisha and lustful prostitutes, with geisha mainly engaged in artistic performances; And the prostitutes mainly sell their hues for a living.

If it is further subdivided, it can be divided into palace prostitutes, camp prostitutes, official prostitutes, domestic prostitutes and folk prostitutes. A court prostitute was a courtesan who served the emperor in the palace; Camp prostitutes are prostitutes who serve officers and soldiers in the army; Official prostitutes are prostitutes who serve local officials at all levels; A domestic prostitute is a prostitute who is supported by the family of a dignitary and serves a dignitary; And the folk prostitutes are the prostitutes of the brothels run by the people. Palace prostitutes, camp prostitutes and official prostitutes are all public prostitutes, which are included in the imperial court and are supported by the household department to meet the needs of the emperor and the princes and ministers.

There are three main sources of public prostitutes. One is a prisoner of war or a family member of a sinner, and one person commits a crime, often involving a family, often the man is killed, and the wife and daughter are reduced to official prostitutes; the second is the slave trade, in ancient times, there was a scene of "the same column with cattle and horses" in the slave trade; The third is to fall into the dust and disguise human trafficking, but the women who were bought and sold originally belonged to good families, and there were also those who were trained as prostitutes since childhood.

It was considered an obligation for public prostitutes to give their lives to their superiors without compensation, and the best of them were often monopolized by the first and second leaders, and there were many camp prostitutes and official prostitutes who gave birth to children for officials. Some officials and generals are also jealous of prostitutes and make trouble.

Some officials use prostitutes to give favors, and some VIPs cross the border to send prostitutes to sleep. Some officials can also lend a prostitute to play with her. When the poet Bai Juyi was the assassin of Hangzhou, he asked Yuan Zhi to borrow the Hangzhou courtesan merchant Linglong to play for more than a month, and he also had many poems full of pride to record his behavior of prostitution and prostitution.

Official prostitutes are not just beautiful, all official prostitutes will poems, books, pianos and paintings in order to meet the needs of civil officials.

It was fashionable for officials in the Tang Dynasty to prostitute prostitutes, go in and out of brothels, and hook up with prostitutes. On the one hand, it is the example of the emperor; Another reason is that after the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination began, poetry was one of the contents of the scientific examination, and most of the officials were literati, and the literati had always been pretentious and elegant, so it seems that only the corresponding prostitutes who knew how to play the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting could meet the needs of their identity; As prostitutes, living in pursuit of water and grass, officials are their abundant water plants, they must not only be beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and only in this way can they not become inferior prostitutes, can they sing in BMW incense cars, and maybe find some dignity and freedom.

The poems and songs of the Jinshi-born officials with the title of the gold list are often the best songs that the public prostitutes can't ask for, and the first ones to get can be crowned by the crowd; For officials, public prostitutes are elegant and elegant, which can not only pass on their own poems through them, but also comfort the glory of life. Famous poems and prostitutes complement each other.

Lan Zhihe mentioned them, but he was extremely sad and angry, and his eyes were about to split, "Look at it, what have these well-dressed people who live in temples have done?"

In the eleventh year of Yongle, the teacher department reported to Zhu Di on the right: 'Qi Taimei and her niece and daughter-in-law, and Huang Zichengmei, four women, were raped by more than 20 men every day and night, and they were all pregnant when they were young. In addition to the order to give birth to a child as a little turtle, there is also a three-year-old woman who asks for a holy decree. Zhu Di's holy decree replied: "From him, he will grow up to be a thief." ’

An Zheng reported to Zhu Di: 'Tie Xuan's wife Yang, Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mao Dafang's wife Zhang Nu, aged 56, were sent to the Jiaofang Division, and died of gang rape soon after. Zhu Di's holy decree replied: "Distribute Shangyuan County and carry it out of the door, and eat it with the dog." Chin this. ’

Have you ever seen such a murderous and dehumanizing nature? That's all Zhu Di's glorious holy decree! ”

Lan Zhihe suddenly had tears in his eyes and said bitterly: "My mother and sister." And I have to hide in this cave for many years, and endure this lonely and lonely years. Then, looking at Sun Zhiya behind the storm, she said sharply: "What's wrong with me raping them?" Are they the only ones allowed to bully and play with other people's wives and daughters? I'm bad, can I be bad than them? I'm ruthless, can I beat them? Shouldn't these royal relatives, princes and ministers suffer retribution? ”

Sun Zhiya, who was behind Fengyun, suddenly saw Lan Zhihe's poignant and distorted expression, and was so frightened that she suddenly let go of Fengyun, and hid far behind, as if she was a little closer, she would be eaten.

Fengyun didn't want to see Lan Zhihe's expression, he could feel Lan Zhihe's misfortune, resentment and sadness, he paced to the entrance of the cave, looked at the white clouds and blue sky outside, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "I understand your experience and pain. I guess you should be the descendant of Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, and a concubine in the Yuan Lord's court. Because of the battle of Lanyu fishing in Erhai that year, the chasing master only escaped with dozens of horsemen such as the prince Tianbaonu, and captured more than 100 of his concubines and princesses.

And your father took the opportunity to rape them, and your father also used the prostitution medicine offered by the prostitute monks of the Western Regions. The lewd monk has an incomprehensible love and hatred with the Yuan royal family, so this lewd drug is also very violent, and those who do not obey will burn to death.

Because afterwards, some of those concubines and princesses kept their reputations, but they lost their lives; There is also a concubine who committed suicide in shame after being raped; But it is not excluded that someone fell in love with your father, after all, there are many resentful women in the Yuan harem, and they also hate the Yuan Lord for leaving them alone and fleeing. ”

Fengyun stiffened his heart a little and said, "But you are a coward, you don't dare to settle accounts with Zhu Di and them directly, but you only dare to sprinkle your anger on women, who are weaker than you." They don't know you, they haven't killed anyone, they have hurt anyone, what's wrong with them? So for a coward like you, I still despise and disgust the world. Especially if you are the child of such a sufferer. ”

Fengyun sighed, "I won't kill you, but I must abolish you so that you can't harm other women." ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a miserable scream from Lan Zhi and "Ah". Fengyun looked back and found that Sun Zhiya was holding a long sword in the room with Lan Zhihe in her hand and pierced Lan Zhihe's heart. And Sun Zhiya's delicate body, which was almost naked, was also shaking nervously.

A line of blood spurted out along the bleeding groove of the sword's spine, splashing on Sun Zhiya's face little by little, and on her chest, her plain white mid-waist was also dyed with a few red flowers.

Sun Zhiya said "ah", and when she took a moment, she threw away her long sword and fainted to the ground.

She, fainting blood! She didn't even dare to kill chickens since she was a child, let alone kill people. But she had to kill today, she couldn't let go of this person who insulted her, and she couldn't let him go out alive to affect her reputation.

Fengyun naturally knew that this was a manifestation of blood sickness. Seeing that it had come to this, he approached Lan Zhihe, Lan Zhihe stretched out his legs and kicked on the ground and struggled twice, that is, he was dead, and his face was hideous, he didn't blink his eyes, and he never dreamed that he would die in the hands of a yellow-haired girl with his martial arts.

Fengyun didn't faint blood, but Fengyun wanted to vomit, although he was strong in martial arts, it was the first time he had seen a dead person, especially just now when he was still a living person.

He forcibly endured his nausea, smoothed Lan Zhihe's angry eyes, and threw him down the mountain from the entrance of the cave. He really didn't have the courage to bury him on his back, and he couldn't leave him in the cave to make Sun Zhiya faint again.

Alas, who let him choose such a hole that can't reach the sky and the ground, Fengyun thought. Fengyun looked down the mountain: "Saving people is immeasurable." You insulted them, but you also died because of them, which is also considered the way of heaven. Good life is cherished, and I hope to invest in a good family in the next life, accumulate virtue and do good. ”

Then, Fengyun returned to the cave, helped Sun Zhiya's upper body to lie half in his arms, and pinched him. Sun Zhiya woke up slowly, opened her phoenix eyes slightly, but saw that Lan Zhihe was no longer there, her heart was a little calm, and when she saw a handsome and elegant face in front of her eyes, she didn't feel that her heart was fluttering, and her heart swelled with a fire, and her cheeks were flushed.

[I don't want to see the historical materials of official prostitutes and military prostitutes, which shocked the author. Especially when I saw Zhu Di's holy decree, I was even more shocked. Is this Japanese? Is it a comfort woman? It's even more cruel than the Japanese, especially since he still treats people of the same clan. Let the author see such an ugly human nature and the world. I have seen a lot of novels and articles praising Zhu Di, but because of this, the author doesn't want to look at him as a human being.

This is a group that has often been ignored and alienated to this day, but they often relish the flowers, romances, and all kinds of graceful words of literati and ink writers, and rarely pay attention to the blood and tears behind them, because the history books and truth are written by literati and ink writers. But thinking of old men like writers such as Ouyang Xiu and Wen Tingyun still pretending to be poor girls and official prostitutes Sichun, especially those prostitutes and old men who are obsessed with lovesickness, I can't help but get goosebumps, which is more terrifying than seeing a group of old men pretending to be girls at two o'clock in the middle of the night in online dating. 】
