Another concubine Hui, another woman surnamed Wu, another false accusation, another tragic misfortune for a queen...

Lin Zhaoyi, who fell out of favor, spared no expense in order to avenge Concubine Wu Hui. Sure enough, Concubine Zhao Li, who was born as a prostitute, she bought for three thousand silver, made Concubine Wu Hui feel neglected for a while, but soon Concubine Zhao Li vomited blood and died with resentment, and Concubine Hui herself Also because of the entanglement of the ghost of the unjustly murdered prince, he was frightened to death...

1. The two concubines whose corpses were destroyed

Ruizong, who became the Supreme Emperor, was actually not old, but his spirit was very weak. He lived in the West Palace, fasted and recited Buddha every day, and set up a dojo for Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De, who died tragically at the hands of Wu Shi Zetian. , to save the souls of the dead.

Empress Liu was the concubine that Ruizong married when he was the vassal king in the Yifeng period. Wu Zetian once made Ruizong the emperor and made Liu the queen.Soon Wu Zetian made herself the female emperor, Ruizong was demoted to the title of emperor's heir, and was imprisoned in the palace.Living with Empress Liu in the harem was Concubine Dou De, the biological mother of Emperor Xuanzong. Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De, seeing Ruizong being trapped, wept day and night for him.Whenever the evening was quiet, the two of them would burn incense to the sky and pray endlessly, saying that as long as Ruizong could see the light of day and then hold the great treasure, they were willing to replace each other with their bodies, even if they were sent to the eighteenth level of hell.The maid who guarded the palace went to Wu Zetian's place and told the news that Liu and Concubine Dou cursed her to the sky every night.Wu Zetian immediately angrily shouted at the servants to bring the "two lowly maids".

Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De were grabbed by a group of wolf-like eunuchs and dragged to Wu Zetian in a short while.Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De were so frightened that Yurong turned pale, and they kept begging for mercy.But Wu Zetian was so angry that his eyes burst into flames. After drinking a beating, seven or eight red lacquer sticks hit Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De indiscriminately, making them roll on the ground, saying "" God! Long live!" screamed.

When Wu Zetian heard them screaming "Long Live", he immediately went mad with hatred, and ordered to dig out the tongues of Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De.After the two were tortured, they had already fainted from the pain.Then Wu Zetian sent a decree to destroy the bodies of the two lowly maidservants.When the knife and ax came up, they carried Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De, who had fainted, to a remote place in the imperial garden, cha cha cha, the sharp and ruthless knife and ax raged, and in the place where the cold light shone, Empress Liu and Dou De, who were once extremely noble and beautiful Concubine De turned into bloody meat and rotten bones that were chopped into two or thirty yuan, and then was thrown on the grass indiscriminately, and it was over. .

Now Ruizong recalled that Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De died tragically, and had nowhere to find the corpses, so he had to build a spirit summoning platform in the imperial garden, and prepared two sets of queen's clothes, which were put in two empty coffins. The Yuma Banner went out for the funeral.The hearse passed through Jingshi Street, and even the common people felt their noses sore when they saw it.After the coffin was buried, two tall mausoleums were built.Under the imperial edict, the Liu family was named the Queen of Suming Shunsheng, and the Dou family was named the Queen of Zhaocheng Shunsheng.The mausoleum after Su Ming is called Huiling, and the mausoleum after Zhaocheng is called Jingling.

Shortly thereafter, in June of the fourth year of Kaiyuan, the Supreme Emperor Li Dan died in Baifu Hall in Chang'an Palace at the age of 55.

2. The concubine said that the queen was abolished
Xuanzong Li Longji worked hard and wanted to return to the glorious era of Taizong. With his efforts, the Kaiyuan prosperity was the peak era of Tang Dynasty economy and culture, so in Xuanzong Li Longji's later years, he also had a strong sense of accomplishment. Even stronger than Taizong Li Shimin.However, Xuanzong Li Longji, who was decisive in foreign affairs and ruled the world wisely and capable, was rarely sober and shrewd, let alone capable, in the nine-curved curtain of the inner palace.

When he was young, Xuanzong Li Longji had more than forty concubines.The more he loves, the more prosperous his sons will be. He has 30 princes in total.Among the concubines, Xuanzong's favorite was the concubine Yuanxian who had an affair with him and had gone through hardships. However, after the birth of Princess Ningqin, the Yang family was very weak and often fell ill, and died soon after.Xuanzong was very sad. If it wasn't because of the empress's face, he even planned to make her queen.

Concubine Wu Hui, the daughter of King Wu Youzhi of Heng'an, took advantage of Xuanzong's sad and empty feelings to deepen Xuanzong's favor for her.The martial arts are good at seductiveness in the same line. Every time Xuanzong comes, Concubine Hui can make the emperor very comfortable. If she is very comfortable, she will be very satisfied, and if she is very satisfied, she will naturally be very pampered.

Taking advantage of this great favor, Concubine Hui even gave birth to several sons but died before the age of three, which made her weep unceasingly, and then gave birth to a prince named Mao.When Li Mao was still in his infancy, Xuanzong of Aiwu and Wu Aimu and his son was granted the title of King of Shou by Xuanzong.Concubine Hui then gave birth to King Sheng, Princess Xianyi and Princess Dahua.Xuanzong was very happy to see Concubine Hui blooming as soon as she got rain and dew, and bearing fruit as soon as she bloomed.Simultaneously with it, the barren queen's jealousy towards Concubine Wu Hui increased exponentially. When she met Xuanzong, she spoke ill of Concubine Hui, and when she saw Concubine Hui, she sneered.The daughters of the Wu family were never benevolent and kind, and the concubine Hui would fight tit for tat because of her favor, so the concubine and concubine often quarreled endlessly.Not long after, Concubine Hui was six months pregnant, and because of several cries with Queen Wang, her fetus was moved and she had a miscarriage.Xuanzong regretted it, but at that time he had the intention of abolishing the empress, but because the queen was selected by the Supreme Emperor, and she had the merits of planning a great plan in the pacification of Princess Taiping's chaos, and there were ministers' remonstrance, that's all. .

That night, taking advantage of the joy that the climax had not completely subsided, Concubine Hui suddenly told Xuanzong that Queen Wang had secretly ordered the monks of Chongsheng Temple to perform the magic of overwhelming victory, and gave evidence that Queen Wang was still wearing the soul-hunting wood next to her body, and the hook was The emperor's soul, she wholeheartedly wants to wait for His Majesty to live forever, so that Uncle Wang Guo will rebel and establish himself as emperor.Xuanzong was furious and rushed to the main palace to investigate.

Seeing that Xuanzong was very angry, the maids rushed into the palace quickly, and it was too late to announce. At that time, the queen was sitting in front of the mirror to make up, and she saw Xuanzong standing behind her in the mirror. She was shocked and hurriedly turned around. Standing up, seeing Xuanzong's face livid with anger, he knelt down and kowtowed in fright.

At this time, Queen Wang's hair was still loose and not combed. Emperor Xuanzong, who had always been adept at horseback riding and shooting, stretched out his hand and grabbed Queen Wang's hair by the sideburns, and Queen Wang's petite body was immediately lifted.Then Emperor Xuanzong stretched out his other hand, only to hear a sneer, and the embroidered skirt of the Empress Wang was torn by Xuanzong, revealing the waist belt close to the body, and there was indeed a piece of fragrant wood hanging on the belt.Immediately, Xuanzong was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he snatched the fragrant wood into his hand and saw that the three characters "Pilimu" were engraved on the front, but the three characters "Li Longji" were neatly engraved on the back.

Xuanzong immediately slapped Empress Wang's pink face, and Empress Empress' delicate cheeks immediately swelled up.Xuanzong wanted to rush forward to kick and beat him. At this time, all the concubines and concubines knelt down and begged for mercy.Some favored concubines went up to help Xuanzong to sit on a chair, the queen knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and cried, it turned out that one day the monk Mingwu, who had been on good terms with the uncle of the country, confronted Zheng Uncle Wang Guo, who was deeply worried about the discord between the emperor and the empress, said that the poor monk had a way to reconcile the empress and the empress, and to make the empress have children. As for the specific method, he took this piece of thunderbolt wood and hung it around the empress's waist.

But at this moment, Xuanzong saw that what Concubine Hui had said before, and every sentence was confirmed to be true, so he believed it. How could he think about it further? Become a queen, that's why the method of hanging the thunderbolt tree appeared at the right time.If it hadn't been said through the mouth of Monk Mingwu, who Su and Uncle Wang had a good relationship with, it would have been impossible to implement it successfully; and if Monk Mingwu hadn't received the astonishing wealth of Concubine Hui, of course it would have been unlikely. Maybe it's a betrayal of conscience.Money can make ghosts turn the mill, money can make the mill turn ghosts, ghosts and mills, mills and ghosts, the relationship between the two is funny and chaotic, erratic and turbulent, how to position it depends on the needs of money, according to the needs of money, Mill and ghost, ghost and mill, the relationship between the two seems to be uncoordinated, but there are certain rules, ridiculous, chaotic, erratic and turbulent, just like this positioning.

Xuanzong, who had hated the king and queen for a long time, didn't care about indiscriminateness at all. He just kept drinking and said, "Tie up this lowly maidservant and send her to the Ministry of punishment for execution!" Servant, go up and drag the queen and leave.The queen cried and struggled desperately, and said: "Even if your majesty doesn't think about the suffering of husband and wife, you should also think about the late emperor..." At this moment, the prime minister Zhang Shuo came into the palace.

Zhang said that he was originally a trusted minister of Xuanzong. After receiving this letter, he didn't care about the queen's bedroom. Be close to the couple! The queen is in the middle palace, and the honor and favor are extremely high. Even if the husband and wife are not in harmony, there must be no thought of harming your majesty! If the queen does not have a majesty, all the honor and favor of the queen will be lost. Although the queen is stupid, she is not so stupid! "

Xuanzong's anger gradually calmed down, and he felt that Zhang's words were very reasonable, but he couldn't stand the strong wind blowing beside Concubine Hui's pillow, so Xuanzong issued an edict to abolish the king and queen as common people, and uncle Wang Guo and monk Mingwu together Beheaded; at the same time, he wanted to make Concubine Hui the queen.

The ministers of the DPRK and China objected one after another, and Pan Haoli, the censor, went up to express his pain:
Rites, parents do not share the same hatred; Spring and Autumn, if the son does not take revenge, there is no son.His Majesty wants to use the Wu family as his queen.Why do you see the soldiers under heaven?If the concubine follows her uncle again, think twice; if she follows her father, she will show off her beauty;Husbands and evil trees hang down the shade, and the people with lofty ideals are endless; Stealing springs are overflowing, and honest men don't drink; Every man and woman still choose each other, what's the matter with the Son of Heaven?May the Chinese be chosen carefully, called the heart of the gods!In the Spring and Autumn Period, at the meeting of Father Xia of the Song Dynasty, no concubine was taken as his wife; Duke Huan of Qi swore that he would not take a concubine as his wife;

Today, people are idle and salty, and Prime Minister You wants to make meritorious deeds in order to favor him.Today the prince is not born to the concubine Hui, but the concubine has a son; if there is a Li Chenji, the reserve position will be uneasy.There is a reason why the ancients remonstrated with their gradual progress!
Xuanzong also deeply felt that Ruo Li, the concubine Hui of Wu's daughter, was guilty of the ancestors, so he had to give up.But since then there was no empress in the palace, Concubine Hui's power grew day by day, and she was almost the same as the empress. Because of that memorial, Concubine Hui hated Pan Haoli to the bone, and finally found something wrong, she went to slander Xuanzong and dismissed Pan Yushi's official.At the same time, Concubine Hui also put all the concubines who were usually unsatisfactory into cold officials.Among them, Lin Zhaoyi is like this. Concubine Wu Hui not only took away the emperor's favor from her, but also slandered Xuanzong to put her in the cold palace.

Lin Zhaoyi, who was chewing the pain carefully every day in the lonely place, gave a large amount of money she had saved to an eunuch surnamed Huang, and asked him to buy her no matter where she was, as long as she was a stunning woman. Waiting outside the palace for the emperor to win the favor of Concubine Hui.

In the winter of this year, Xuanzong went to various imperial tombs to worship his ancestors as usual, passed through Luzhou City, and stayed overnight in the palace.When the dusk was dull, I suddenly saw a stunning woman offering wine with a red lacquer tray.The vermilion lacquer plate highlighted the whiteness and softness of her hands and the slender fingers, which had already aroused the emperor's heart.And after a night of love, Xuanzong's whole heart was hung on this woman.

According to the woman herself, she was the daughter of Zhao Shilang, the guardian of the palace, and Xuanzong believed it to be true, because before she said this, she let Xuanzong wake up tired after a night of fighting, and she was already After diligently waking up early and finishing her makeup, she could only untie her little cloak in the teasing blend of girlish shyness and seductive lewdness, and just in time to see her There was still a streak of red blood on the base of her thigh that hadn't been wiped clean, and against her white skin, she felt even more delicate and lovely.This is the best evidence that she didn't buy it from a prostitute.

Lin Zhaoyi's three thousand silver was not in vain. Eunuch Huang was very good at handling things. After this beautiful woman was bought from a prostitute, she was fostered in Zhao Shilang's house. When Emperor Xuanzong was lonely, she offered it to her. Everything was done seamlessly.Then she used the charming kung fu of the prostitute's bed, and the wise Emperor Xuanzong fell into the trap.On the second day, there was an imperial decree to enshrine Zhao's daughter as Concubine Li, and Zhao Shilang as Shangshu.
