212 [Gu Niangniang]
The story of the emperor and the Gu Qiren?
The record in "The Record of Ming Wuzong" is even more absurd and bizarre than the one in front of you!
said that in the winter of the thirteenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao went to Taiyuan to patrol the border and fell in love with a Liu beauty.
This Liu Meiren is the wife of Yang Teng, a musician in the Jin Dynasty, who is not only a prostitute, but also a married person.
Zhu Houzhao also brought Liu Meiren back to the leopard room, ate and slept together, and was very pampered. If anyone angers the emperor, as long as he makes Liu Meiren smile, the emperor's anger will dissipate instantly. Even a fortunate person like Jiang Bin has to serve Liu Meiren as his mother and call her "Liu Niang".
Liu Meiren is the prototype of the folk legend Li Fengjie!
However, "The Records of Ming Wuzong" is very nonsense, and it is difficult to say whether there is Liu Meiren or not.
This broken record says that when Zhu Houzhao was patrolling the border, he made the Xuanfu withered and closed his doors during the day, and he also searched for beautiful women and musicians everywhere, and even lived in the homes of local officials, and forcibly accepted the wives and daughters of civil and military officials.
However, the Koreans whitewashed Zhu Houzhao, and the "Records of the Li Dynasty" recorded: "When I first heard that the emperor Nazhang commanded the daughter, he stayed at his house, and the soldiers plundered people's homes. When he came out, he saw it, and the emperor stayed in the Tongzhou Pavilion, and the honor guard was still there, and there was no indiscriminate plunder. β
In this way, it is very embarrassing, should I believe in the "Wuzong Record" compiled by the Jiajing Dynasty, or should I believe in the "Li Dynasty Record" compiled by the Korean State?
The North Koreans make up their own history books, and they can't take pictures of Zhu Houzhao's sycophants, what is the use of them helping Zhu Houzhao wash the ground?
Is Zhu Houzhao a retard? He summoned the border army to Beijing for training for several years, and he trained a group of garbage that harmed the place, and he dared to loot everywhere when he personally led the army?
Li Xu, a poet of the Ming Dynasty who failed the imperial examination seven times, was only more than ten years old when Zhengde traveled to Jiangnan, and he recorded an interesting incident in his works: because Zhu Houzhao likes to listen to music, on the way to the south of the Yangtze River, he once visited the house of Xu Lin, a composer. And he went after dark, Xu Lin was unprepared and didn't know how to entertain him. Others said, you are a scholar, just offer tea. Xu Lin only entertained the emperor with fruit cakes and tea, and even the wine was brought by Zhu Houzhao.
Yang Yiqing's account of this matter is roughly similar to Li Xu's, but the details are slightly different. Yang Yiqing said that Xu Lin only entertained tea, and the fruit cake was bought by the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao ate two for himself and gave Xu Lin two.
What a polite emperor, he went to visit Sanqu's house at night, brought his own wine and fruit cakes, and drank only a cup of tea from the host's house. How can there be a faint gentleman who is a little poor and extravagant, and sleeps with other people's wives and daughters overnight? This faint gentleman is too unqualified!
Zhu Houzhao recorded by folk literati, Zhu Houzhao recorded in Korean history books, and Zhu Houzhao in the official history of the Ming Dynasty are like two people.
β¦β¦
Outside the noon gate.
After Wang Yuan retired from the dynasty, he stood in the ranks of hundreds of officials, waiting for the officials of Honglu Temple to come to give a banquet.
This year's New Year's Day and Lantern Festival banquets have all been canceled, and the reason is still to save court expenses. But today a banquet must be given, because it is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and not giving a banquet means that the emperor is not filial.
Wang Yuan received a food box, took it out of the Chang'an Gate, and threw it to Yuan Da, who was waiting there. He himself re-entered the imperial city, took out his waist card for inspection, and went straight to the leopard's room.
Huang E, Wang Yuan had already been hired, and the two became official fiancΓ©s.
But the wedding date was set for autumn, and Wang Yuan had to send a letter to Guizhou to inform his parents about the marriage. The mountains are high and the road is far away, and it is inconvenient for the parents to travel, but the eldest brother must come to drink the wedding wine on behalf of the Wang family.
Yuan Da was not sent back to deliver the letter because Wang Yuan was short of people around him.
The messenger was a free servant borrowed from the government. In addition to the privilege of housing, the first class of the branch and the Jishi also have the privilege of supporting the envoys.
For example, cooking on the fire, washing and sewing, you can let the errand do it for free. Even when you go shopping, you can ask the errand to accompany you to help support the scene or carry things. You can also choose not to use the errand and cash it out, and slowly save money to rent a house in the future.
This kind of privilege is limited to three years, and the next Jinshi will be gone.
Wang Yuan came to the leopard room slowly, and Zhu Houzhao and Gu Qiren were having breakfast. Well, it should be said that it is called Gu Zhaoyi, and the thing "Zhaoyi" existed in the early Ming Dynasty, and now it has been turned out by Zhu Houzhao.
Gu Pan is Gu Zhaoyi's stage name in Qinglou, her surname is indeed Gu, her real name is unknown, and it is inconvenient for Wang Yuan to ask more.
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned you?" Wang Yuan arched his hand.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Erlang hasn't eaten yet, let's come and eat together." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Yuan was not polite, swaggered over, and sat down after saluting Gu Zhaoyi.
Gu Zhaoyi was still masked, but only half of her face was covered, and the veil was even more beautiful. The tie of the veil is made of silk thread and silver, and there is a drop-shaped jade pendant at the center of the forehead, which blends with the elegant bun and headdress.
Underneath the veil, there are also masks made of silk. The mask is in the shape of a long strip, just enough to cover the scar, and even if the veil is blown by the wind, it is not afraid of being seen.
"Master Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Gu Zhaoyi smiled, and a smile could be seen on the left half of her face.
Wang Yuan joked: "Niangniang is so beautiful when she smiles, it's the first time I've seen it." β
Gu Zhaoyi pointed at Wang Yuan and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Brother, this person seems to be teasing me!" β
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Houzhao laughed.
The king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, and Zhaoyi does not have the appearance of Zhaoyi.
"Niangniang" is an honorific title for the queen and the imperial concubine, Xiao Zhaoyi is not qualified, Wang Yuan is purely shouting beyond the control.
Gu Zhaoyi called the emperor "brother", and called herself "I", and she was obviously in love with the emperor, so sweet that it was like falling into oil and honey.
The concubine's self-proclaimed title in the face of the emperor probably includes concubines, concubines, sons, and daughters.
It sounds quite evil, but the concubine who has a good relationship with the emperor can really call herself "son" and "daughter".
The attendant eunuch brought chopsticks, and Wang Yuan copied them and picked up the dishes, anyway, he didn't treat himself as an outsider.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "The time is almost up, I want to canonize Pan'er as Concubine Zhuang." β
"This matter of His Majesty's family, the minister does not dare to say anything." Wang Yuan continued to eat.
Gu Zhaoyi personally poured wine for Wang Yuan: "I haven't thanked Master Wang yet, please drink this cup full!" β
Wang Yuan drank it all and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and Niangniang are in love, I am just a witness." β
Zhaoyi and other harem positions have been abolished in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and they are indeed not suitable for long-term use, and sooner or later Gu Zhaoyi will be promoted.
Zhu Houzhao is quite smart, first give her a naturalization, and then worship the petty official as a righteous daughter. entered the palace as an official daughter, and when she was a palace maid for half a day, she was promoted to Zhaoyi, and the rest of the canonized concubines were logical.
There may be gossip, but Gu Zhaoyi has lived in the leopard house for a long time, who would dare to run in to verify her identity as an official prostitute?
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Erlang, do you know that Pan'er actually knows the soldiers." Although his father was a civilian official, he was also born in a hereditary military family, and Pan'er grew up in Wei since he was a child, and his family learned and read many military books. β
Gu Zhaoyi said modestly: "My brother praised it falsely, I just talked on paper." β
"Being able to talk about soldiers is already a strange woman, so don't take yourself lightly." Zhu Houzhao said.
Wang Yuan was speechless, he called Lao Tzu early in the morning, just to see you sprinkle dog food?
Seriously, with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, even if any woman is favored for a while, it is unlikely that she will capture the emperor's heart for a long time.
Gu Zhaoyi is an exception, she is loyal and strong, and she has won the emperor's favor. Promoted to an official prostitute, not only is it not an obstacle, but it is a plus, and Zhu Houzhao likes to transgress the etiquette system.
Zhu Houzhao likes to listen to music, and Gu Zhaoyi can sing; Zhu Houzhao likes to dance and play with swords; Gu Zhaoyi's sword dance skills are extraordinary; Zhu Houzhao likes to talk about military affairs, and Gu Zhaoyi has actually read military books. Coupled with her independent personality, Zhu Houzhao is even more obsessed, and sometimes she is scolded by her, Zhu Houzhao laughs happily.
Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought that Gu Zhaoyi was very ugly, and he just wanted to enter the leopard room to dance and play with swords, and just have one more friend to communicate with. But Gu Zhaoyi was so hungry for him, he couldn't hold back after drinking one night, and the two rolled onto the bed to take the last step - anyway, they couldn't see clearly under the black light.
Once men and women are snapped, under the heat of adultery, ugly girls can become beauties, and decrepit boys can also become handsome guys.
Zhu Houzhao's brain was hot, and he wanted to canonize Gu Zhaoyi as Concubine Zhuang.
This will inevitably attract the attention of civil officials, because Zhu Houzhao has been emperor for several years. In addition to the queen, there are only two concubines, one is Concubine Wu and one is Concubine Shen.
Now that a concubine Gu suddenly appeared, and she was also a prince who had not been born for many years, she must be expected to be high.
Even, even if the civil officials inquire about Gu Zhaoyi's identity as an official prostitute, as long as they are sure that she is innocent and chaste, most of them will not object too much. As long as the prince can be born, what is the official prostitute?
After breakfast, Jiang Bin, Xu Tai, and Pan Gui came to see and said that the soldiers had begun to practice.
Moreover, when these generals faced Gu Zhaoyi, they all called her "Niangniang", which shows that she is indeed favored.
Zhu Houzhao led Wang Yuan to the school field, pointed to more than 30 men with big shoulders and round waists, and said: "They are all the leopard warriors I recently recruited, all of them are infinitely powerful, and they are all brave people!" β
"Your Majesty is broad-minded and admired!" Wang Yuan said with a smile.
These more than 30 people are all Mongolian men, all of whom were Mongolian soldiers who surrendered last year, and Jiang Bin came from the border areas.
The civil servants frantically opposed it a while ago, and the impeachment note came like snowflakes. It's really Zhu Houzhao who is too risky, the Mongolian soldiers who surrendered for less than a year actually got into the leopard room as a close attendant, but if anyone has bad intentions, he can kill the Ming Emperor!
Zhu Houzhao said: "Erlang, these Mongolian men are very conceited, you go and let them see the power of the Ming warriors!" β
Wang Yuan was speechless for a moment, Lao Tzu is a bachelor of Hanlin, you actually let me compete with the Mongols?
Well, it's been a long time since I've been active, so it's just time to practice.
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Pick ten people out and go up together, I'm going to fight ten!" β
Gu Zhaoyi said: "Master Wang is really brave. β
The Mongolian man led by him is called Tototai, and after this guy came to the leopard room, he was also loyal, but he was conceited and brave and looked down on others.
Under the leadership of Tototai, ten Mongol men surrounded Wang Yuan, roaring and roaring.
Because they don't use weapons, these Mongol men are all wrestling tricks. Wang Yuan didn't give them a chance to get close, he walked while fighting, only greeted with his fists and feet, and actually played ten Mongolian men around.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Wang Yuan picked up a person beside him. The block of nearly two hundred catties was used as a weapon by Wang Yuan, and under the sweep left and right, he smashed other Mongolian men to the ground.
Xu Tai was stunned and muttered to himself: "This person is invincible." β
Jiang Bin was also dumbfounded: "He usually looks polite, and he doesn't look like a powerful person." β
"Hahahaha!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed excitedly: "I have Wang Erlang, why can't the world be stable?" β
"Don't fight, don't fight," Tototai stepped back again and again, speaking non-standard Chinese, "You are a real warrior, I can't beat you!" β
"Take!" Wang Yuan threw away the humanoid weapon and said with his fists clenched.
Totoku asked: "You have so much strength, how many catties of meat do you eat a day?" β
This question is particularly cute, and it makes Zhu Houzhao laugh again.
Wang Yuan said: "I eat chicken every day, and my family has thousands of chickens. β
Wang Yuan really didn't lie, after more than a year of experiments, earthworm farming technology has been adapted to local conditions, and has been developed on a large scale on Wang Yuan's territory.
