A Survival Guide to the Qing Harem

Chapter 18 Gongdou is a hard work (1)
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The history of China is a history of cannibalism." I think it is especially appropriate to put this sentence on Gongdou. From ancient times to the present, throughout the dynasties, wherever there is an emperor, there will be struggle.In the final analysis, it is still a question of power and glory.The better you are in the harem and the higher your status, it means that wherever you go, you will be respected, or feared, and it also means that you can enjoy things that others cannot enjoy.

Let's use an analogy, everyone wants some rare treasures from other places, but the quantity is very small, what will happen at this time?Don't even think about it, the most favored person will get it; the person with the highest status will get it.Others can only look forward to the ocean and sigh.That's not enough, you have to endure the blatantly showing off in front of you.This feeling is not good at all.Instead of watching others show off, it is better to show off yourself. In this world of the jungle, the strongest person in the harem is to walk your own path and let others have nowhere to go!
Able to leave the hall, enter the kitchen, beat gangsters, fight mistresses | Almighty is also dangerous

Gong Dou has always been a labor-intensive job.I have to spend my whole day judging the situation and trying my best to deal with the insidious tricks and bad tricks coming out from all directions. If I am not careful, I have to do the strenuous work of killing and burying the corpse by myself.Hey, don't really be surprised.In the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty, especially in the harem, when did a few women disappear out of thin air?The servant can't believe it, so he has to do it himself. Do you leave evidence everywhere and wait for the "uncle policeman" to catch him?Oh, forget, this is in the Qing Dynasty, it should say "government", not police uncle!Therefore, from the perspective of safety, some things still have to be done by yourself, which naturally takes a lot of effort.

Not to mention, don't mention anything disdainful, you really have to have a certain level to participate in Gongdou, not just any cat or dog can participate.You want to fight with others, but sometimes others really disdain to fight with you, they can kill you with a light finger.So, before Gong Dou, please check your identity first.

Usually, in the group fights in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, that is, palace fights, those who are eligible to participate are nobles and above, and most of them are queens and concubines.Of course, this is just a convention, and there are also some favored and unrecognized show girls and nobles who are below the level of nobles, and their most prominent feature is that they are favored by the emperor.If you are not favored, others really don't have the time to fight with you, after all, this is a physical effort.

Here, it is necessary to remind these women who have not yet corrected their names that Gongdou is dangerous, and they must be cautious when entering the arena.This is in the harem. If a noble concubine or imperial concubine disappears out of thin air, the emperor will naturally pay attention to it, and the empress and queen mother will not let this matter go.However, if a woman with no identity but a dewy marriage with the emperor disappeared from the harem, then everyone would not care too much.Therefore, before being favored, one's name has not been rectified, and one's identity has not made a qualitative leap, keeping a low profile is the only rule of survival.

If you are lucky enough to have reached the national level, then please refer to the Gongdou guidelines to fight for your "position"!No matter if you want to participate in any level of palace fighting, you have to serve a master well.Queen?Too high queen? No, it's the emperor.He is your backstage, and a person without a backstage is always just a foil.Therefore, it is necessary to serve the emperor well and become a celebrity in front of the emperor.So how to become a celebrity? "Out of the hall, into the kitchen" is an eternal requirement for women.

How to get out of the hall?Getting out of the hall refers to a woman's social skills. You have to mediate among many social groups, not what others are talking about. You are confused and just laugh and lose your demeanor.Therefore, to become the favorite celebrity of the emperor, in addition to having a beautiful appearance, the clothes must be decent, the conversation must have style, and the style that the emperor can bring out.

Of course, talking about capital is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If you haven't had time to read the whole book, then take the shortcut first.This shortcut is what kind of clothes and what kind of hair accessories a person of any status wears. Don’t be confused, otherwise the emperor will take you out, and it will be easily used by others if you are seen. When the time comes, you will be punished. The emperor will not What to say.

As for taboos on clothing, please refer to the previous chapter for details.Then let’s talk about social etiquette. Whether you go to meet the queen with the emperor or meet the ministers in the court, you must remember to put yourself in a reasonable position and greet each other in a standard way.During the conversation, if the emperor asks your opinion, you just need to smile, cover your mouth with your sleeve, and answer modestly: "I don't understand important matters in the court."

Remember, no matter how the emperor pardons your crimes, you should not participate in the discussion of the government.Being a "dumb" can still live, but if you say something wrong, you will die without a place to die.If you have already read the Book of Songs and read a lot of books, I also advise you to be a "dumb".Sometimes, a woman who smiles, learns to listen, is neither humble nor overbearing, and does not participate in government affairs is the most prestigious, classy, ​​and grand woman.

Then again, into the kitchen.Looking at the harem of the Qing Dynasty, there are really no women above the noble class who can really cook.It is said that he entered the kitchen, but he personally supervised the servants in the kitchen to get some sugar water and the like.Regarding this point, the emperor is also very clear that a woman who is high-end and enjoys luxury has never had to get a little bit of oily smoke.Therefore, if you are not a person who can really cook, don't fool the emperor with the full banquet.You just need to say: "Your Majesty, my concubine sees that you have been worrying about the country's government affairs for several days, so I specially asked the imperial dining room to make a bowl of clear lotus seed soup." Here, "lotus seed soup" can be replaced by a variety of sugar water The name, "Let the imperial dining room do it" can also be changed to "personal supervision" or "personal cooking".Of course, I believe the emperor will not be serious with you about this unskilled sugar water cooking.

Well, the above mentioned the tricks to win over the emperor, and now I will talk about the secrets of Gongdou's upgrade: beat the hooligans, beat the mistresses.A woman who screams because of a cockroach or a bug is definitely not suitable for living in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.Because Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here, everyone is a ruthless character.As mentioned above, some accidents happened, and every minute you have to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces, so you must have the feminine temperament of "beating gangsters" in order to survive in the palace fight.However, if you beat hooligans, you must be ruthless, which means that you must be ruthless in the face of the enemy, and use your hands when necessary, just to prevent the opponent from thinking that we are soft persimmons, and you can pinch them as you want.However, don't show the "female man" side to the emperor, this is very dangerous.

And what about Dou Xiaosan?It has been passed down through the ages, and this is the only way for every woman, especially the women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.The emperor has a preservation period for beauties, after the preservation period, new women will appear, so, if you want to achieve supremacy, you will have a lot of mistresses to fight.How to fight the mistress?
In the Qing Dynasty, Dou Xiaosan's tricks came and went with nothing more than a few tricks.Framed, what are the taboos in the palace, especially the things that the emperor hates the most, such as making a cursed doll, playing Gu, etc., put these props in the palace of the emperor's favorite woman without anyone noticing, and then At the right time, a large group of people were recruited, including empresses, empress dowagers and other high-ranking people, and then "ransacked the house", found props, and successfully framed them!
It is also a common way for Gongdou to frame and add pity.No man likes a vicious, vicious woman.So, take a moment, when the emperor appears, provoke his favorite woman and let her beat you, this scene will naturally be seen by the emperor, and then Lihua will naturally cry with rain.After crying, be sure to magnanimously intercede for the other party, so that you can raise yourself infinitely and step down the other party at the same time.

The last and most ruthless move.This trick is more vicious, but it is also widely heard in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.It is the law of survival in the harem that mothers are more expensive than children.The emperor will grow old, but the young women in the harem often have a lot of time to spend, so they have to rely on their own sons.It is not enough to have a son yourself, and you need someone else not to have a son.Therefore, secretly giving abortion pills is also an upgraded version of Gongdou's bad move.

If you are talented, able to master all the above moves, avoid bad moves, make good use of clever moves, and become a woman who can go out of the hall, enter the kitchen, fight hooligans, and fight mistresses, then I want to tell you, you It is not far from danger.Because the almighty light has made you a bird in the early days, what is waiting for you is often a fatal bullet.Of course, if you can keep a low profile, behave without desires, stay away from the emperor at the right time, get in touch with your sisters, and have a son who is competitive, then pay attention to food and wisdom, and you will still be able to survive until the early days of.

Finally, to sum up, on the Gongdou Road of the Qing Dynasty, I would like to give you a good word to encourage each other-"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down."

Let you rob me, you will die ugly | Harem "Murder" Encyclopedia

In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, every woman was prepared for danger in times of peace, her mind moved quickly, but she had to think twice about her actions. Why?In fact, there is no reason, because saving your life is the most important thing.In this harem, those who are too stupid will die, those who are too smart will die, those who are too favored will die, and those who are not favored will die if they say wrong words or offend someone.

In short, in our harem of the Qing Dynasty, the most indispensable thing is women, and the cheapest thing is also women.Some people are very powerful, and some people lose their lives as easily as a feather blown away by the wind.So, how to keep your life in such a dangerous harem?Everyone knows that only if the green hills are kept, can one be able to participate in the palace fight, so if you are smart, you might as well take a look at the complete collection of murders in the harem first.

The result is the same, that is to go to hell, but the process is not the same.Suicide can be said to be the most common way for women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty to end their lives.In TV dramas, we can often see two scenes, a woman leads a white silk and throws it on the beam, knots it, hangs herself, and the game is over; Give poisonous wine, drink it with a "gudu gudu", and you will die.Yes, you may say, what kind of murder is this!That's right, the judge is not a woman from the Qing Dynasty, so let's go!In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, the white silk and poisoned wine bestowed by the emperor may be fake.These killing props bestowed by the emperor are sometimes really given by the queen, but not the emperor's intention; sometimes they are sent by others under the guise of the queen.Therefore, if you hang yourself early, or drink the poison foolishly, you will be laughed at by the king of Hades.Even, after you are eliminated by Gong Douqing and end your life, those vicious people will leave you a suicide note, or a love letter of cheating.In short, they will make your suicide look very plausible.

So how to deal with such a murder?First of all, you must be calm, you must act uncomfortable and obedient, too calm is not good, it will make the person who sent the props suspicious; second, quickly dispatch more than two secret envoys, and the troops will be divided into multiple groups for rescue.People along the way went to the emperor to ask if it was what the old man meant. If so, I'm sorry, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die; if not, naturally tell the old man that someone is going to murder you.Even if he can't save you in the end, at least he won't die for no reason.Then send a group of people to find your backstage and stakeholders.Looking for someone to give you a backstage tip-off, naturally I hope the backstage can save you!And looking for your stakeholders is to put pressure on him, which means that he will not feel better if you die!The above are the methods, whether you can save your life depends on the good luck.

In addition to using the method of fake suicide to eliminate the opponent, the method of murder comparable to the technical content of giving poisoned wine is poisoning.In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, in order to eliminate opponents, it was not uncommon for them to buy the little maids around them, poison their opponents' bowls or slowly poison them. Some people even put poison on potted plants and jade objects as gifts for opponents.If you are not vigilant enough, you will die unexpectedly.

Of course, there is still a way to crack this kind of insidious trick: Method [-], prepare the silver needles at all times, and never trust anyone other than yourself. test poison.This method should be used especially on your own soups and medicines; Method [-], don’t be greedy for small things, no matter who sent the gift, let it roll as far as possible, don’t hold it in your hand repeatedly, of course I am grateful Love still needs to be expressed orally.If someone gives you a pastry as a gift, try your best to use your health as an excuse to refuse to eat it. If you really can’t refuse, invite the other person to enjoy it together.

In addition to being careful to face fake murder props, you should also avoid places with water.I don't know how many maids and masters died in the pond in the back garden of the Qing Dynasty.It seems that the weather is sunny, and you are enjoying the flowers in a good mood, but you are suddenly pushed into the water by someone. After you get into the water, you can vaguely hear the anxious cry of the person who murdered you - "Help me".Look, how dangerous the world is!So, if you can't swim, it's best to stay away from the pool.Even if you have to pass through ponds, lakes, etc., you must have a few more trusted friends by your side, just in case.

Don't think that this is superfluous. If you want to save your life, you can't save money for bodyguards.From ancient times to the present, which queen's eunuch would not be able to climb over the wall and enter the house, and fly over the wall!Look, the queen's awareness is so high. On the one hand, keep a few martial arts masters as security guards. Be a killer!If the queen is like this, how can you not find more bodyguards?Maybe on a dark and windy night, a man in black will break into your boudoir with a knife. At this time, there are no security personnel, so naturally you will die!You must know that in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, not only concubines were murdered by men in black, but others were beaten to death, do you still dare to save money for bodyguards?
Let's talk about "killing".Many people may not care about such an extremely low-tech murder method, thinking that in broad daylight, no one would use such an idiotic method to murder the emperor's favorite person.No, if you feel the same way, then you are really stupid and naive.You know, "beating people" can also be done in a high-sounding way.

In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, as long as any concubine violated the taboos of the harem, the queen in charge of the harem had the right to punish her according to the law.Therefore, you often see the classic lines in the ancient costume drama "Huanzhugege" also under the background of the Qing Dynasty-"Pull down and beat thirty big boards".That's right, even Ge Ge would be spanked, let alone a concubine?You must know that it is not a pleasant crime for a weak concubine to encounter these thirty big boards, not to mention that these thugs have been "commanded" to take special care, so there are also court ladies who were "accidentally" favored by the emperor. It is said that the big board that beats someone can also make the opponent lose his life by smearing poison.To resolve this low-tech method of murder, one can only seek more blessings, less offend others, do things more according to the book, behave well, and maybe spend the fleeting years safely.

Finally, let’s talk about a high-end and high-end method of murder—“evil death”.Here, "evil" means abnormal, which means being pissed off to death.Naturally, not everyone can practice such high-tech methods, nor can they be accomplished overnight.Under normal circumstances, the physical conditions of the women in the harem are similar. If you see someone who is weak, often vomits blood, and faints from time to time, most of them are out of anger.Long-term depression and frustration in the palace fight resulted in the ancient version of harem syndrome.If he continues to suffer repeated blows on the road of Gongdou, he will eventually vomit blood and die from exhaustion.
