Chapter 11 The shameless "naked tour hall"

The posthumous title of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was "Ling".Thinking about this emperor's misbehavior, tossing the country so much, but barely dying in his hands, it can be regarded as "no loss".As for the "disorder" is more appropriate, it includes not only the "disorder" of his prostitution, but also the "fornication" of his sensuality. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was just a 12-year-old child when he came to the throne, but he didn't have the ability to "fornicate" at this time.After he ascended the throne, he appointed Fufeng Song as the empress. This empress was mediocre, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not interested in her.At this time, Wang Fu, the servant of Zhongchang, killed Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, and his concubine Song Shi. .This kind of crime is usually cleared up as soon as the accusation is made. The Emperor Ling saw that the queen was not pleasing to the eye, so he used this to take back her seal ribbon.Queen Song died of worry soon after, and then her father and brothers were all killed.For being so wronged, everyone in the palace sympathized with her.One day, Emperor Ling had a dream in which the late Emperor Huan accused him of innocently killing Empress Song, and said that Empress Song was going to sue him at the Emperor of Heaven.The Emperor of Heaven was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, and he would not forgive his sins.The first emperor's entrusting a dream was a very serious matter, and adding that the Emperor of Heaven was angry, this matter was even more serious.Emperor Ling was very frightened, so he asked Xu Yong, the left supervisor of Yulin, what the sign was.Xu Yong took the opportunity to confess the innocence of Empress Song, and also asked for a reburial to make the soul of the wronged soul peaceful.Although Emperor Ling was restrained by the eunuch and didn't listen to Xu Yong's words, but he was able to have such a dream, which showed that he was somewhat guilty deep in his heart.

The queen couldn't win Emperor Ling's favor, so he set his sights on other women in the palace.As he grows older, his interest in women also increases, and his "promiscuous" nature is gradually exposed.He ordered all the concubines and maids in the palace to wear crotchless trousers, and nothing inside, for the convenience of getting up, just press down, otherwise they have to take off their clothes, wouldn't it sweep Long Xing?This absurd behavior is really jaw-dropping, but it may have to be accepted in the Han Dynasty.Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian at the same time as Emperor Ling, once elaborated a sexual intercourse schedule for the emperor in the annotations of "Zhou Li": "Eighty-one female royals should be nine nights. Twenty-seven women should be three nights." . Nine concubines and nine people, for one night. Three wives, one night. Later, for one night. Fifteen days later." That is to say, the emperor will have to spend one hundred and twenty days in just half a month. A woman is upside down.It seems that this task is really arduous, and the emperor must devote himself to it. It is no wonder that so many emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty died short-lived.However, it can also be seen from this that as long as you are not a queen, even if you are the wife of the ninth concubine, everyone has to let the emperor mess around in public. In this comparison, it is really nothing for a little maid to wear crotch pants.

However, for the dissolute Han Lingdi, the crotch pants were an obstacle after all, and he still had new ideas.In the third year of Zhongping (186), he built another thousand houses in Xiyuan.The green moss picked by people is covered on the steps, and the canal water is drawn around the thresholds and circulates everywhere.In the water of the canal, there are lotus flowers presented by the southern country. The flowers are as big as a cover and more than one foot high.And because the leaves of this kind of lotus only unfold after the moon comes out, and the moon god is famous, so it is also called "Wangshuhe".In this fairyland-like garden, Emperor Han Ling ordered the maids in the court to take off their clothes and play and chase.Sometimes he cheered himself up and took off his clothes to mingle with them.Therefore, he named this garden "Naked Pavilion".

Speaking of which, the idea of ​​men and women fighting together with their buttocks naked was not the first idea of ​​Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The famous tyrant King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty did such a thing.His famous "wine pond meat forest" is to use wine as a pond and hang meat as a forest, and let men and women take off their clothes together to make "long night drink".But at that time, it was ancient times, and the material conditions were scarce, and people could not make up any new tricks, and the first priority was to satisfy the appetite, and the so-called "lust" was just incidental.Since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is the Son of Heaven who is so powerful in all directions, he is naturally more emotional than King Zhou of Shang, who is not much better than the tribal chief.So, when summer comes, he chooses a maid with skin like jade and a light body to row a boat with a pole and rippling in the water of the ditch.Sometimes in the hot summer, he ordered people to sink the boat into the water to watch the jade-like and gorgeous skins of the naked maidens who fell into the water.These court ladies are all over 14 years old and under 18 years old. They are young and enchanting like flowers.Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty watched them go up and down, Yingge Yanyan was noisy, and naturally he felt relieved, so he also went into the water to "swim naked" with them.He also asked the court ladies to play the song "Seven Words of Merchants" to cool off, so Yingying and Yanyan sang silk and bamboo, and sang softly:

The emperor likes new songs, so someone has to write them.However, the traditional Taixue of the Eastern Han Dynasty was used to cultivate Confucian talents, and it paid attention to such "righteous" things as self-cultivation and governing the country.Besides, Tai students have long been entangled with "partisans", and Emperor Han Ling didn't want to mess with them.Therefore, under the suggestion of the eunuch, he set up another "Hongdu school".This school is to play against the Taixue, so, apart from jointly enshrining Confucius, it basically does not teach what Taixue teaches, and it teaches everything that Taixue does not teach.Therefore, the teaching content will not be the Five Classics, but more literary things such as Fu, calligraphy and painting, wonderful songs and new songs.In this way, the new songs of Emperor Han Ling will continue to flow.Hongdu School once flourished, with thousands of students, and their employment prospects were good. They were appointed as governors, prefects, ministers, servants, and even granted titles as marquises.However, this school had a deep relationship with eunuchs, and it also learned this kind of "small way", so it was looked down upon by the scholar-bureaucrats at that time, and the "honest men" at that time were ashamed to associate with its students.However, this Hongdu school can be regarded as the first literary and art academy in China and even in the world, and it is quite useful for improving the status of literature and art. The literary consciousness of the Wei and Jin Dynasties is also somewhat different from it. Kind of related.This pioneering work of Emperor Han Ling is worthy of recognition.Of course, his motives were not so noble, but it was just to provide some tricks for his own lust.

Emperor Han Ling also had more emotional things.When the Western Regions offered Yin rhinoceros incense, he ordered people to cook soup for the maids to bathe, and poured the water with fat and powder in the river channel after the bath, which was called "Liuxiang Canal".Facing this beautiful scene, Emperor Ling of Han sighed: "If it has been like this for 10,000 years, then he is really a god in the sky." It seems that although he is known as Long Live, he still knows how many years he can live Ming.However, things in ten thousand years are too vague, and it is not difficult to want to be a god in the present, as long as you can "hope that you will not wake up after being drunk".Emperor Ling and the court ladies often drank and had fun in the naked tour hall, often all night long.In order to let himself know the time, he built a chicken crowing hall on the north side of the naked tour hall, in which many chickens were kept, and he planned to determine the time through the crowing of chickens.But the servants around him didn't want the emperor to give up the game so quickly, so they rushed to learn the chaotic real sound of rooster crowing, so that Emperor Ling didn't know who made it when he heard the rooster crowing again.Emperor Hanling drank all night, drowsy and unconscious. The court servant threw a big candle at His Royal Highness, which woke him up from his dream.Being so drunk and dreaming of death, I am afraid that even the tyrant King Shang Zhou will be astonished.

Emperor Han Ling's interest in visiting is not limited to this naked tour hall, he is also quite good at leading new fashion trends.He invented a donkey cart.Compared with the carriage, it is lighter and more fashionable.The emperor himself drove the donkey cart around Shanglin Garden with a triumphant expression on his face.With the initiative of the emperor, this kind of donkey cart soon became popular in the capital.From the princes to the common people, everyone was proud of owning a donkey cart, which caused the price of donkeys to rise sharply, even surpassing the price of horses.In addition to donkeys, Emperor Han Ling also liked to keep dogs, and even called the dogs "Ai Qing".The word "Aiqing" is usually the emperor's name for ministers.Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was probably inspired, so he put a crown and ribbon used by civil servants on a dog, made it stand upright on its hind legs, and walked waddlingly.He happily clapped his hands and shouted: "What a dog official!" Hearing this, the minister next to him couldn't help crying or laughing. He felt insulted, but he couldn't do anything about it.However, many of Emperor Han Ling's officials were bought with money. They would only bully the people and do many evils. Their behavior might not be as good as a dog.Calling them "dog officials" is worthy of the name.
