Tang Dynasty woman

Chapter 90: The Death of Chao Gang (1) ([-])
4. Eunuchs are seductive and incompetent
At this time, all the power inside and outside the palace was in the hands of Wang Shoucheng and his group of eunuchs, and Mu Zong couldn't get involved at all.They corrected Emperor Muzong's decree to capture the alchemist Liu Mi and Futu Datong and kill them alive as palace sticks, because it was the pill they offered that the late emperor accidentally swallowed and died; Yes, if there is a suspicion of conspiring to kill the emperor with drugs, then an edict will be issued to imprison Prime Minister Huangfu and send the army to Yazhou.

The majestic Song Ruoxian never dreamed that she would be the next one to die.Wang Shoucheng originally had an affair with Song Ruoxian, but he was deeply afraid that Song Ruoxian would reveal his crime of regicide in the future, so he also used the emperor's decree to imprison Song Ruoxian in Waidi.But just like this, he still couldn't feel relieved. After Song Ruoxian died, he finally felt relieved.

After Song Ruoxian's death, 13 of her mother's family's brothers and nephews who were in charge of the court were all arrested and exiled to Lingbiao.For a while, all the rest of the court were Wang Shoucheng's best friends. No matter how mischievous he was, who would dare to say no, even Emperor Mu Zong and Empress Dowager Guo were also very afraid of him.

In order to make Mu Zong uninterested in government affairs, Wang Shoucheng secretly ordered the women and concubines inside and outside the palace to seduce Emperor Mu Zong with female sex in the palace under the pretext of accompanying the Queen Mother Guo to play.Sure enough, Mu Zong was mixed in the team of fateful wives, looking left and right, all of them were beautiful and beautiful, with pleasant smiles, and couldn't help being happy. He felt that he was so frivolous and teasing with them every day, and he was satisfied. The great ambition and great pursuit of governing the country and the world that the master of the prince taught him so hard, quietly abandoned it in the helplessness of being useless.

Who doesn't like to get close to this young, handsome and flirtatious emperor in this group of wives? How much glory and wealth will fall to their relatives if there are many flirtatious stories in the past? At least General Jinwu's wife Cao is Think so.She is the most beautiful and slender among this group of wives, with the flow of waves, she can make the king's soul broken and his mind broken.On the night Cao Shi entered the palace for the first time, Mu Zong used the excuse of a feast in the palace to keep Cao Shi, who had been in love with him for half a day, in Xingqing Palace.When the wine was half drunk, the two sneaked in. In the place where the flowers were deep and the music was quiet, the moon was quiet and people were quiet, on a piece of grass, Mu Zong was lucky to visit Cao Shi.The next day when Cao came out of the palace, she received a box of treasures from Emperor Mu Zong and the title of Mrs. Cao Guo.

Naturally, from then on, Mrs. Cao Guo was often called into the palace to play, and once she entered the palace, she would not come out for ten or eight days.Mrs. Cao Guo was active by nature, so Mu Zong specially opened a horse racing track for her on the embankment, and peach willows were planted between the roads.The soft mud is ten feet long, and the grass is like a bacterium.Emperor Mu Zong rode a chestnut horse, and Mrs. Cao Guo rode a silver mane horse. The two galloped back and forth on the race track, laughing and talking about each other.

In spring, the roadside is full of peach blossoms, willows and green flowers, and Mrs. Cao Guo dresses up very delicately and wanders under the flowers, looking like a fairy in the sky from a distance.In the name of fearing Mrs. Cao's loneliness in the palace, Mu Zong summoned the prince's wife into the palace. During the feast and play, in the imperial garden, embroidered belts were unfurled, covered with powder noodles, and sweet talking, Mu Zong was in it. , flirting and joking, very jovial.

5, Yong Jun dies Merry
The great talent Yuan Zhen was favored by Emperor Mu Zong because of his elegance and good at lyrics and music. His "Duanyang Race" was sung in unison by 500 singers in the harem of Mu Zong, which was charming and moving.Mu Zong ordered Wang Shoucheng to build fifty dragon boats, which were luxuriously carved and painted; he also ordered the little eunuch to dress up as various fish monsters and water monsters, and parade around the dragon boats on the water.

On the day of the Duanyang Festival, Emperor Mu Zong brought his concubines and wives to Yuzao Palace to watch the dragon boat race.The [-] palace maids played coquettishly and beautifully, and they sang "Duanyang Jingdu Song" in unison with their pearl throats, and they crossed the water wave after wave in a melodious and melodious manner.

Under the background of fairy music and wonderful songs, at this time, Emperor Mu Zong was passing cups and cups to his concubines, talking and laughing for fun, especially with Mrs. Cao Guo. Mu Zong forgot to hold Mrs. Cao Guo's hand, and walked towards the royal garden.The accompanying maids all knew the character of this romantic emperor, and hurriedly followed behind with their towels, combs and basins in their hands.

Look at the Lord Long Live leaning on Mrs. Cao Guo's shoulder and walking slowly behind the flower barrier.The court ladies were very knowledgeable, they stopped in a hurry, and waited quietly with bated breath.I only heard Mrs. Cao Guo's coquettish laughter and groans, and the voice of Long Live God calling for love in a low voice accompanied by panting. From outside the flower barrier, all these young palace ladies blushed with shame. Look at them Me, I looked at you and couldn't help but secretly pursed my lips and smiled.After a while, Lord Long Live smiled and took Mrs. Cao Guo's hand, and turned out from behind the flower barrier.A few court ladies rushed forward to embrace Mrs. Cao Guo, and went into the dressing room to freshen up and bathe; more court ladies naturally rushed to serve the Long Live Lord.

Emperor Mu Zong had just had his fill of fun, and the maids served him until he could come out to meet people neatly, and when he was about to sit in the table full of joy, Mu Zong suddenly twitched his hands and feet violently, and his limbs continued to twitch non-stop. I stayed in a daze, no matter how the imperial doctor took medicine and treatment, but I could no longer walk and talk.

Queen Mother Guo had no choice but to maintain the overall situation and convened ministers to discuss the establishment of an heir.Because although Mu Zong had been in power for many years, he hadn't bothered to be listed in the Lizheng Palace, because there were too many beautiful women who had to socialize every day.Mu Zong now has five princes, and the ministers have asked the eldest son Li Zhan to be the prince.So Empress Dowager Guo made Li Zhan the crown prince in the name of Mu Zong, and conferred the title of Li Zhan's biological mother, Wang, as the noble concubine.

Although Mu Zong could only sit paralyzed on a small cart every day, being pushed back and forth by four young eunuchs, he still did not forget about his sexual pleasure.A group of beauties played, sang, and joked around the Merry Emperor all day long, and when he was in love, the Merry Emperor pulled the beauties into the small car, lowered the curtains on all sides, and stopped laughing, only to hear gasps, groans and whispers in the car Laughing low, this beauty can't be released until the joy is over.

Emperor Mu Zong still couldn't forget Mrs. Cao Guo the most, so he simply kept her in the palace forever. Mu Zong stayed with Mrs. Cao Guo almost every night.This kind of continuous cutting day and night, continuous harvesting and fighting, even a man of steel and iron will be brought down, not to mention that Mu Zong is still sickly.Mu Zong couldn't hold on for a long time. Seeing that the big change was just around the corner, Empress Dowager Guo ordered Li Zhan, the 16-year-old prince who was demented and violent, to supervise the country.When the servants saw the appearance of the prince, they invited the Queen Mother Guo to come to court. The Queen Mother Guo scolded the servants angrily, "Do you want me to be the second queen of Wu?"

6. No way is more licentious
In the first month of 824 A.D., not a few days after Prince Li Zhan supervised the country, Emperor Mu Zong died of illness. Guo Zhao, the uncle of the country, was ordered by Mu Zong to help Prince Li Zhan become emperor in a panic.Unexpectedly, he couldn't find the prince Li Zhan everywhere, so he went straight to His Highness Xibian, but saw the prince Li Zhan playing football with a young eunuch in His Highness. He was half surrounded and half pushed to the Taiji Hall by the ministers, and he had to sit there honestly and become the emperor. This is Emperor Jingzong.According to the usual practice, his biological mother Wang was honored as the empress dowager, and Li Zhan's other four younger brothers were crowned kings, and according to the usual practice, the year name was changed to Baoli.

After Emperor Jingzong inherited the throne from his father Mu Zong, he also inherited Mu Zong's greatest characteristics, but his taste was a bit too low, and he refused to let go when he saw a slightly attractive court lady, and then he raped recklessly in front of all the eunuchs .

At this time, Mu Zong's coffin was still enshrined in the Taiji Hall, but Jing Zong often led a group of young eunuchs in front of Mu Zong's coffin, singing loudly with gongs and drums.

One day, Jingzong suddenly saw a very beautiful but still young maid, and chased her. This little maid had always heard all the sisters in the palace talking about Emperor Jingzong's adultery, and her ears could hear calluses. Emperor Jingzong chased her, knowing it was not a good thing, so he ran to the gate of the underground palace as hard as he could.Jingzong also desperately chased out of the palace gate, when he bumped into Liu Qichu, an officer who has always been known as a loyal and upright minister.

Immediately, without hesitation, Liu Qichu raised the wat in his hand, and hit the beautiful and innocent little maid hard on the face, only to hear an ahh, the beautiful and innocent little maid's forehead was instantly shattered, The face of the peach blossoms was covered with bright red blood, and immediately fell to the ground and died, like a March peach blossom that was crushed without mercy.

Then this loyal and upright minister showed panic, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and at the beginning of his succession, he is working hard late at night to ask about political affairs. But your majesty is obsessed with sensuality. At the funeral, the preaching is endless, such a licentiousness, the fortune will not last long. Please break the first step before the crime of absenteeism!" Liu Qichu said as he kowtowed, until his forehead touched the ground to bleed, and the sound went straight to the corner of the hall .

Jingzong was too lazy to listen and even hated to listen. He frowned immediately and didn't say anything. He just waved his hands in annoyance and asked the left and right eunuchs to help Liu Shiyi out of the palace.

Prime Minister Li Fengji's repeated remonstrances were ineffective. He also killed chickens to scare the big monkeys, but he didn't kill a little palace lady who was like a peach blossom in March, but killed several little eunuchs who were playing with Jingzong.Jingzong, the big monkey, was so angry that he never sat in the court, and he didn't even go out of the palace. He stayed in the palace all day long, playing and having fun with the concubines and maids.

Another loyal minister, Deyu, was ingenious and presented six jade screens. On the screens were written his words of advice: one is called Xiaoyi, which is a mockery of Jingzong's late sitting at court; The proverb said to stop offering, which is to ridicule Jingzong's greed for things to play; the fourth maxim is to accept advice, which is to ridicule Jingzong for not listening to loyal advice; the fifth maxim is to distinguish evil, which is to ridicule Jingzong's trust in treacherous ministers; .But Jingzong surrounded all the concubines with these six jade screens, and made all the beauties take off their clothes and dance naked on the screen.When Deyu and Liu Qichu saw that the emperor was so licentious and immoral, they both shrugged off their illness, resigned their crowns and went back to their hometown.

7. Pseudo-eunuch
The pseudo-eunuch Liu Keming stepped onto the political stage of the Tang Dynasty in this favorable climate.He was originally the adopted son of the eunuch Liu Guang. Because he was good at playing football, as long as Jingzong, who loves to play, could make him have fun, he didn't care that Liu Keming was no longer a little boy who needed to be castrated.Liu Keming, who is smart and fair-skinned, took advantage of this problem that Emperor Jingzong ignored. At first, he secretly informed the beautiful maids in the palace, and gradually became more courageous, and formed an affair with Concubine Dong Shu of Jingzong.And Emperor Jingzong was too busy playing and playing by himself every day, so how could he care about these messy things.But he has always been guilty of being a thief. Liu Keming always suspects that this cruel Long Live Lord has seen through his secrets. He often sees himself being assassinated in a quiet place at a certain moment in a certain day in his dreams. Or simply the emperor was not afraid of trouble and embarrassment, directly tied him in full view, and cut him piecemeal, especially his neglected problem, which was now brought into the scope of unprecedented attention: suffered the most tragic The piecemeal pain, the blood flowed horizontally accompanied by the miserable howling.
