In front of those high emperors and emperors, they seemed so inconspicuous. However, it is such a woman, in the long years, for every meal of the king.
They risked their lives and paid silently, just to be fed and clothed. This is a group of people who have made great contributions to the country in ancient times: handmaidens. The life of a maid is completely different from that of ordinary civilians.
They also have their own ideals and their own pursuits. But upon entering the palace, everything is different. In the eyes of the king, they were nothing more than toys; They are the tools of the powerful to vent their desires.
To this day, when we mention Gong E, is it just a plaything? Aren't they any different from animals? So, let's use them as a perspective to describe life in the real palace.
Luoyang Palace Change": "The Corruption of Imperial Power: Luoyang Palace Change in the First Year of Guanghe" Introduction: In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was violent, wars were frequent, the world was in chaos, and the world was in chaos. It was in this situation that a horrific tragedy occurred in the deep palace of Luoyang.
During the Guanghe period, Dong Zhuo served as the prime minister of Luoyang. He is arrogant by nature, murderous, lawless, and indulgent. He ordered hundreds of maids and women to be placed in the "class room", and ten people were selected to serve every day, ten people to bathe, and ten people to sleep together.
Those women who were subjected to Dong Zhuo**, under his cruel treatment, were powerless to resist. This tragedy reflects the corruption of politics and the ugliness of humanity. Dong Zhuo's actions are not only suspected of adultery with women, but also suspected of trespassing, both arrogance and immorality.
It is precisely because of his appearance that the imperial city of Luoyang has become a breeding ground and has become unbearable.
Dong Zhuo feasted on a golden knife, drank wine in big bowls, and talked and laughed with his confidants. I saw that at his feet, there were two sleek maids, one of whom was very beautiful, holding a sleeve, carefully helping Dong Zhuo wipe the oil stains and wine off his face.
The other Gong E is not young, but she can vaguely see the beauty of the year. At this moment, she was rubbing Dong Zhuo's thighs with a painful face. "The prime minister is really talented, there are countless beauties in Luoyang City, but they all pretend to be high and refuse to be thousands of miles away! ”
A confidant flattered. Dong Zhuo said "phew" and threw most of the leg of mutton in his hand in front of the old woman, who suddenly gasped.
Reserved? It's all acting! Dong Zhuo grinned and said, "If you bring it to me, it will be a group of hungry ghosts!" Dong Zhuo grabbed the little maid's waist and shouted loudly"Quick, pour tea!
I'm going to get drunk tonight! ”
The maid poured wine for Dong Zhuo tremblingly, and her little heart was pounding, for fear that if she was not careful, she would be hacked to death by the drunkard in front of her. Dong Zhuo said as he pulled her little hand to his lips.
Bang", Dong Zhuo reacted very quickly, and directly bit off the maid's hand. "Ahh The maid let out a terrible cry, and the blood flowed from her hands, but she did not dare to take it out, lest she add another fire.
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, praising Dong Zhuo's great power and wanting to swallow the beauty's little hand. Dong Zhuo looked proud, pushed the maid to the ground, and rode on her lap: "Tell me, what kind of action does your little girl like to do the most?" ”
The maid trembled and did not dare to speak. Her right arm was still bleeding, but she didn't dare to pay attention to it, so she swallowed the humiliation into her stomach. On the other side of this Luoyang City, the people are struggling to make a living.
During the reign of Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, the living conditions of its women did not improve over time. In their minds, Cixi is not at all what people call "Ci", just an out-and-out ** monarch.
Early in the morning, as soon as Cixi Niangniang got up, a eunuch presented today's recipe. The Queen Mother took a look at the recipe and immediately frowned: "What is this?"
Stir-fried cauliflower with mushrooms, isn't this the dish from last night, I think you're tired of it! The little eunuch was suddenly frightened, and snorted: "Hui, Hui Empress Dowager, today's dish was ordered by Su Chang - "I don't care who she is, can she still order me food?!" ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and slammed the table, knocking over all the precious tea leaves on the table. "Let Su Changzhi kneel for me! ”
The two maids were trembling and cleaning up the battlefield, both worried about Su Changshou. Not long after, Su Changshi, dressed in a red suit, was dragged in by two small chamberlains, and was pushed to the ground before his clothes were neat.
Licentious! Cixi Niangniang's face was flushed with anger, and the rosary in her hand kept turning. "Follow me to the back garden! Su Chang's face was as dead as ashes, and there was no trace of blood.
Go to the back garden", she understands very well that this is where the emperor killed the monarch and concubines, and once she entered it, she would either die or be punished. Su Changshou hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged: "The villain knows that he is wrong, and I hope that the adult will forgive his sins!" ”
Get your knife out and I'll make you die faster! Lafayette said coldly. Su Changshi was sweating profusely, still prostrate on the ground, not daring to move. When the two little eunuchs saw it, they hurriedly came over and helped her.
Su Changshou reluctantly stood up, followed by the two little eunuchs, and limped towards the back garden. From then on, her fate became a topic of discussion among the women of the court.
As the crown prince, Zai Yan has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he is often jealous of the freedom of the women in the palace. However, the so-called "mother is more expensive than her son", this is not the case in the court, and the children of ordinary families will be cared for by some maternal love, but those princes who are in high positions may not have this blessing.
One day, he stumbled upon a palace where pipes and musical instruments were playing. He walked in excitedly and saw two thinly dressed maids serving a middle-aged eunuch.
I saw a eunuch sitting on a large soft couch, holding a maid with one hand and caressing the two maids with the other. As soon as he saw Zai Yan come in, he was angry, and he took off his belt and hit him.
On this day, Zai Xiang finally experienced the cruelty of the royal forbidden area. At that time, he realized that he was just a toy in the palace.
In the turbulent late Qing Dynasty, the social status of women improved. However, the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 brought the Qing Dynasty into decline. At this critical moment, the palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace were all panicked and panicked.
In this way, a maid named Ning Changzai was resting in the palace. In her fifties, the wrinkles on her face bear witness to the hardships of life.
During that time, she saw many tragedies, the prince was poisoned, the princess was drowned, and even her own companions were executed. In the imperial court, weak people are like ants, and their lives are not ***
After a nightmare, Ning often came to see the Queen Mother the next morning. "Don't move, I had a good night's sleep last night," Cixi Niangniang seemed very happy, "You hurry up and serve Fourteen, he is still waiting for you." ”
Queen Mother's Grace! Qiu Yulan said busily. Ning Chang's body trembled slightly, but he still saluted respectfully, and took a few steps back, so he didn't dare to look back. Coming out of the Emperor's Palace, Ning Chang had mixed feelings in his heart.
She has served the Queen Mother for more than 50 years, and she is about to die old in a few years. When she retires, she will receive a large pension, which is customary.
After going back, you can retire with peace of mind, thinking about it makes Ning Chang can't help but let out a long sigh. After all, women are also ordinary people, and they all have their own ideals and their own ideals.
In the Chinese imperial court, there has been a group of women for thousands of years, although they are from humble backgrounds, but they are gorgeously dressed and have low status, but they hold great power. Their experiences are completely different from ordinary women, and their lives are full of twists and turns.
Although Dong Zhuo enjoys many beauties, he still feels superior; Empress Dowager Cixi enjoyed extremely high status and wealth, but she did not hesitate to kill people in order to vent her anger. As the crown prince, although he was born in the deep palace, he is also very jealous of the free life of the palace ladies.
They were born as men and died as men. Their peace and happiness seemed to have nothing to do with him. After all, their life and death are in the hands of others.
