PFC Chapter 258
Chapter 258
The snow outside was getting heavier, and Qi Cheng suddenly wanted to eat hot pot. Snow and hot pot are a perfect match.
Just do it if you want to. Qi Cheng turned on the music and went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot. The people outside the screen watched the anchor leave and went to do their own things.
Because sometimes the things played by the dynamic music are not very related to them.
For example, if you watch those dancing young ladies, you may be scolded by your wife.
[Hello everyone, last time we talked about some of the Empress Dowagers in the palace. Today we will talk about the concubines in the palace. Today we will not talk about specific people, but only about the concubines' sleeping arrangements.]
Go to bed?
The people who had left outside the tent sat down again. This was a good topic. He liked it. Aren’t the best gossips the secrets of the palace?
The emperors of all dynasties were sweating profusely. Which emperor was Tianmu going to review again, and it was about the topic of sleeping with the emperor.
It's simply... that you don't consider yourself an outsider at all.
Let's start with the Qing Dynasty. Around the time of Emperor Yongzheng, a rule emerged in the palace that required concubines to sleep with the emperor to strip naked and be wrapped in a quilt before being brought to the emperor's bed.
[And they couldn't spend the night together. Only the Empress had the right to spend the night with the Emperor.]
【It is said that this is to prevent assassins.】
The emperors outside the sky were a little surprised. They had seen this rule in a movie clip before. They originally thought it was made up, but they didn't expect it to be true.
They are now curious about who made this rule. Is there anyone else in the imperial palace who can control the emperor? Even the empress dowager has to be more restrained.
This is a major event concerning the dragon's descendants.
It is said to prevent assassins, but there are few female assassins in history. Besides, don’t the concubines in the palace have to be investigated? How could there be unknown people?
Daqin
As someone who was almost killed by an assassin, Qin Shi Huang felt that the Qing Dynasty's strategy was really...too bad. If the palace was infiltrated, then the emperor would be useless.
More importantly, can this really prevent assassins?
Tang Dynasty
Li Longji hugged Yang Guifei and drank Western wine, and he also felt that these broken rules were really troublesome. What if the emperor of the Qing Dynasty met Yang Guifei like he did?
Are you going to depose the queen?
Is it totally unrealistic?
……
We now have an idiom called "Sheep Cart Hoping for Good Luck." The protagonist of this idiom is Sima Yan, who usurped the throne of Cao Wei. He was a good ruler at first, but after destroying the Wu Kingdom, he became lazy.
[The harem was filled with tens of thousands of beauties, so how did he favor so many of them? He used a goat-drawn cart, and he would favor whichever concubine the goat stopped outside.]
In order to gain the emperor's favor, some palace maids would insert young bamboo branches at the door and pour salt water on the ground.
[Using the animals' love for salt water, he made the sheep cart stop in front of him.]
Three Kingdoms
Cao Cao cursed loudly a few times, what a damn thing this guy is, he could actually come up with such a strange trick, how could such a person usurp the throne.
Were all the ministers who followed him at that time blind and unable to see his character at all?
The key point is that when the host introduced the talents of the Jin Dynasty, he wondered if there were any misunderstandings in later generations. Now it seems that the words the host said were not sharp enough.
You should have scolded me more harshly.
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin shook his head. No wonder later generations looked down on the Jin Dynasty. Which dynasty's founding emperor would do such a thing? He looked like a young man who had never suffered any hardship.
The elders did not provide good education.
This method was later used by emperors, though in a more refined way. During the reign of Emperor Minghuang Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, there was a butterfly selection method, where several concubines wore flowers in their hair.
The emperor released a butterfly, and whichever concubine's flower the butterfly landed on would be his concubine.
[However, this was probably before Emperor Minghuang met Yang Guifei, because after entering the palace, Yang Guifei was extremely favored. Among the three thousand beauties in the harem, all three thousand were favored by her.]
Li Shimin felt that he had lost all face in front of his ministers. He had just said that Sima Yan's family education was not good, and then he mentioned his own descendants.
Tianmu is really good at acting.
According to Tianmu, Emperor Minghuang of Tang was his great-grandson. Although he could not educate Emperor Minghuang of Tang, he could still deal with their grandfather.
big man
Emperor Cheng of Han's eyes lit up as he looked at the method introduced by Tianmu. Why didn't he think of such a good idea? Using butterflies was not suitable, and using a sheep cart would be much simpler.
Thinking about his happy days in the palace in the future, Emperor Cheng of Han also planned to give his concubines clothes similar to those in later generations.
Then build a house according to the style of future generations, and then you can... It's exciting just thinking about it.
……
[The Qing Dynasty also had a system of turning over cards, so that concubines who were not suitable for serving might not appear on the list. However, if the emperor particularly liked them, some of them might stay because of their age.]
[Don't think there's anything wrong with this system. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, there was a problem where the emperor couldn't sleep with the emperor after he passed away, and had to let his maids take his place.]
【And the maid also had a child with this servant.】
The concubines outside the canopy sighed. It was not easy for the emperor to come to the imperial palace. The Qing Dynasty's method of turning over the cards was somewhat useful.
You can do this.
But just take off your clothes in advance.
"I feel like the host said the harem is quite easy. In fact, it is full of various rules. Some concubines may not see the emperor more than a few times a year."
"That's right, I almost forgot when I last saw the emperor."
"It's hard to be in the harem..."
……
Just when the concubines in the harem were complaining to themselves, Qi Cheng had already come out of the kitchen. The ingredients for the hot pot were very simple, just some mutton and cabbage.
Looking at the introduction on the tablet, Qi Cheng felt that the video was a bit polite. In ancient times, some palace maids were very pitiful, and some even had no food to eat.
As for the concubines, not all of them lived well. Some of those who were less favored might not even be able to catch up with some of the useful palace maids, and some even went crazy.
It would be even worse if he angered the emperor. He had read in a book before that a concubine was stripped of her position by the emperor because of an incident involving sleeping with the emperor.
After waiting for a few minutes, the hot pot was ready. Qi Cheng simply found a TV series to watch, which was a palace drama.
However, this drama is a bit fabricated. The woman was unwilling to enter the palace one second, and the next second she was drinking and having fun with the emperor.
The pace of change is faster than cooking a piece of lamb yourself.
