Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty favored the concubine and sent the palace maid to go to the toilet instead of him
The Great Qin Empire was like a flame that grew and flew into the warbler, and it was quickly extinguished after blooming, leaving only a sigh.
Qin Shi Huang could never have imagined that the empire he had created would fall at the hands of Qin II, and Qin II's death would be a fatal blow to the empire.
Qin II was cowardly and incompetent, and Zhao Gao was very happy. Together, they have pushed the once invincible chariot into the abyss.
With the rise of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the princes who were ready to move no longer pretended to be in disguise, hurriedly divided one side, and the war returned. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, who was originally the most powerful, wanted to seize the throne, but he didn't expect that the imperial system was the trend of the times, and the feudal system could not be maintained no matter what.
The distribution was unfair, and the gentlemen naturally complained. Liu Bang, the king of Han, who was well versed in the psychology of the princes, raised the banner of opposition to Xiang Yu and sprinkled salt on the wounds to make the people starving.
In the end, Liu Bang won the war and won the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, but the socio-economic poverty made him a restless emperor.
After Liu Bang's death, the Zhulu Rebellion broke out in the Western Han Dynasty. Prime Minister Chen Ping, together with the ministers of Wang, met with Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty and gradually stabilized the situation. Emperor Wen of Han was succeeded by Emperor Jing of Han, and together they created the first prosperous era of the Han Dynasty - the rule of Wenjing.
The guiding principle of the rule of Wenjing is the art of Huang Lao, ruling by inaction, resting with the people, reducing burdens, and creating peace.
Under this guidance, the emperors actually had a lot of free time, and enjoying harem life became part of their daily routine.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had a favorite concubine who often kept her company. When the favorite concubine menstruated, Emperor Jing of Han was embarrassed to call her by her name, so he arranged for the palace maid to take care of her to sleep, so there was a proverb that has been passed down to this day.
I like Cheng Ji the most.
Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty was the sixth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, but he was the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the son of Liu Heng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Because Empress Lu strongly supported Emperor Duoli, Liu Qi eventually became the sixth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, of course, this is not important, the important thing is that the emperor became the victor, after all, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass.
After Emperor Jing of Han ascended the throne, he still continued his father's concept of governing the country, which was admirable and also gave him more time to enjoy life.
Due to the scarcity of entertainment at that time, even the emperor could only drink and have fun in the harem and be pampered. The identity of Empress Bo, the first empress of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, was not simple: she was Bo Ji, the niece of Empress Dowager Bo, the grandmother of Emperor Jing of Han.
However, she was too weak to have children and had no offspring, and Empress Dowager Bo was unable to give birth to an heir, leaving the cruel royal family without a future.
This may be the reason why Empress Bo was deposed and replaced by Empress Wang. Empress Wang was not a simple woman, she had married before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, she gave birth to a son Liu Che for Emperor Jing of Han (later Emperor Wu of Han).
No matter how talented the queen is, she has reached this age. Of course, Emperor Jing of Han did not hang himself on this tree, and women such as Li Ji, Cheng Ji, Jia Ji, Tang Ji, and Wang Ji all entered Emperor Han Jing's harem.
Among these concubines, Cheng Ji was from a good background and was also very good to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and was the most favored by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and often invited Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to sleep.
Once, Emperor Jing of Han was drunk and invited her **, but she had menstruation, which made Chengji very embarrassed.
Deceit. According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, women who were menstruating could not sleep, and often had to apply cinnabar on their foreheads to show that the emperor was not fit to sleep.
But Emperor Jing of Han was drunk, so he naturally didn't notice whether there was a cinnabar mark on Chengji's forehead.
Cheng Ji naturally thought of this, and he instinctively refused Emperor Han Jing's request, but he was worried that doing so would make him fall out of favor. After thinking about it, Cheng Ji came up with a trick - stealing beams and changing pillars.
At that time, Cheng Ji had a prostitute Tang Er, who was later Tang Ji, who was also very attractive, and Cheng Ji trusted her very much. Cheng Ji thought of a way to let Tang'er go to sleep with him.
Tang Er was just a palace maid, of course she didn't dare to comment on it, but at that time, the emperor's favor was a very glorious thing, and of course she would not refuse.
After coaxing Emperor Han Jing to sleep, Cheng Ji briefly left the room in the name of changing clothes, and then Tang Er changed into daily pajamas in order to please Emperor Han Jing.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was already drunk, and he didn't care whether Cheng Ji was a visitor or not, so he didn't get drunk all night.
This is documented in the historical record:
Emperor Jing summoned Cheng Ji, Cheng Ji resigned, refused to go in, and decorated the maid Tang'er for the night.
The menstruation of concubines cannot be said casually, this is a taboo in the palace, and of course they are not willing to say it in front of the emperor, so it is commonly used by later generations"Cheng Ji's illness"to refer to these four words, and these four words have become idioms that have been handed down to this day.
Six generations later. Genghis Khan, who stole the rays, could hide from the world, but no one expected Tang Er to be so competitive and pregnant after being favored by Emperor Jing of Han.
This matter could no longer be hidden, Cheng Ji had to honestly explain the situation to Emperor Han Jing, of course Emperor Han Jing would not blame Cheng Ji, and he could also improve Tang Er's status by the way.
Le Tan'er came from a humble background, and although she was pregnant, Emperor Jing of Han did not favor her.
Ten months later, Tang Er gave birth to a son for Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (later Liu Fa, King of Changsha).
Although Liu Fa became a knight because of his mother's relationship, the fief was remote and small, which once made Liu Fa very depressed.
In 142 BC, Liu Fa returned to Chang'an to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Jing of Han. Emperor Han Jing was surprised and asked him what was wrong.
Rafa continued:
Our country is too small to maneuver.
After hearing this, Emperor Jing of Han secretly laughed and handed over the three counties of Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang around Changsha to Liu Fa.
Of course, due to Liu Fa's fall from grace, he had no chance to be the emperor, but he knew his position and never did what a courtier should do, so he died a well-deserved death.
Liu Fa's descendants did not forget to respect the laws of the feudal state, and became a branch of the Han Dynasty, of course, Liu Fa did not expect that his sixth grandson would save the Han Dynasty from extinction.
His sixth grandson was Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Fate is full of surprises, just like learning history, there will be different feelings every time, and Liu Xiu should also be grateful for the idiom"Rushed to the doctor"。
