Chapter 44 1. The first pseudo-mother of the Han Dynasty

In 4 BC, Liu Xinxu was twenty-two years old.He was in the prime of his youth, but his body was like an old machine, either one part was faulty or that part was faulty.The body is the capital of the revolution, and it is the capital of the emperor.At that time, Liu Bang was still in his sixties and still led the army to conquer.However, two hundred years have passed, and the descendants of the Liu family are not as good as one generation after another. If you want to be a good emperor, you must have a good physical fitness.How important is this sentence!The reason is very clear, but Liu Ao dedicated his youth and body to the beauties of the harem, to the ecstasy Zhao Hede, and died beside his bed.Liu Xin was uncharacteristically, he dedicated his body to the first "fake mother" of the Han Dynasty, and that person's name was Dong Xian.

In Chinese history, I have seen people with broken backs, but I have never seen someone as crazy as Liu Xin.On the road of love between him and Dong Xian, I seemed to see two burning moths, magnificently plunging into the flames. The emperor of the Han Dynasty loved male favorites, not Liu Xin's first creation.This glorious tradition was initiated by the founding emperor Liu Bang.From Liu Bang, Liu Ying, Liu Heng, Liu Qi, Liu Che, to Liu Ao, basically everyone has their own male favourite.However, the first male favorite to rise in the court of the Han Dynasty was Liu Heng's male favorite Deng Tong.

We know the character of Liu Heng.He is low-key and low-key in his work.But when he treated his male favorite Deng Tong, he was so high-profile that he almost didn't praise him to the sky.The fortune teller said that Deng Tong might die of poverty in the future, but Liu Heng did not believe in evil and gave him the right to develop copper mines, making him the richest man in the country. With the name of male favorite, Ban Gu called them Ning Xing.As long as these people climbed the big tree of the emperor, they would either have a lot of money or a lot of power.Deng Tong is only rich in money; Shi Xian, the male favorite of Emperor Han Yuan, has great power;However, they all have a common fate, that is - they all die badly.

As Liu Xin's male favorite Dong Xian, he has truly absorbed the essence of the world, integrated the strengths of Chun Yuchang and other predecessors into one body, became a master of male favorites in the Han Dynasty, and created an excellent model of the Yangtze River's waves pushing forward. Dong Xian, courtesy name Shengqing, was born in Yunyang (northwest of Chunhua County, Shaanxi Province).His father, Dong Gong, was an official of the Ministry of Supervision.When Liu Xin was made the prince by Liu Ao, Dong Gong used his power to get Dong Xian to Liu Xin's side and became the prince's servant.When Liu Xinli became the emperor, Dong Xian rose to the top and became a Lang Guan.

Liu Xin knew the name Dong Xian, but his impression was not very deep.Two years later, a chance encounter changed Dong Xian's fate. There are many beautiful and legendary love stories in ancient China, all of which have a high incidence rate.For example, temple fairs, banquets, monasteries, long pavilions, lakesides, arch bridges, etc., are all places where talented scholars and beautiful ladies are prone to sparks.In the 21st century, there will be more places with high incidences of love.Libraries, Internet cafes, self-study rooms, under flyovers, bus stops, etc. When Liu Xin and Dong Xian met, none of the above places were within the range.In the Han Dynasty, there was no clock, but the clepsydra was used to keep time.At that time, Dong Xian was in charge of telling the time in the palace. One day, Liu Xin came home from get off work and happened to pass by the time telling office. Dong Xian?"

When Dong Xian heard the cry, he immediately responded, "This is Dong Xian." Liu Xin struck up a conversation successfully, so she walked up to chat with Dong Xian.At this time, Liu Xin was surprised to find that Dong Xian was born with a beautiful style, just like a woman in the palace, which was very pitiful.At that moment, Dong Xian's magnolia fingers seemed to be playing with Liu Xin's heart, and his heart couldn't help trembling. This wonderful feeling is called calling. According to the research of scientists, the human body is a small universe, so it has a fixed magnetic field.All magnetic fields can act and react.Some magnetic fields react strongly once they meet.This kind of reaction is what ordinary people call love at first sight.

Therefore, scientists say, why some people pass you by countless times, even the clothes are scratched, but there is no spark.That's because the magnetic fields of the two of you basically don't receive electricity and don't work.Why is there a love for a long time?That's because the magnetic fields of the two sparked lightning during the long-term friction. The above statements are just the words of one family and are for reference only. The so-called "Lang is affectionate, the king is interested".Dong Xian, who was a Lang Guan at that time, was taken by the king Liu Xin.Soon, Liu Xin worshiped Dong Xian as Huang Menlang.Then, he heard that Dong Xian's father was also an official in the central government, and he was immediately promoted to Doctor Guanglu.Then, Liu Xin paid homage to Dong Xian as his son-in-law's servant, and accompanied him on business trips for a long time, never leaving his side.

The beautiful man Dong Xian climbed to the sky in one step, and all the nobles in the court were shocked and salivated.However, what surprised them was yet to come.They immediately discovered that Liu Xin's favor for Dong Xian was fundamentally different from Liu Ao's favor for Chunyu Chang, Liu Shi's favor for Shi Xian, Liu Che's favor for Li Yannian, and Liu Heng's favor for Deng Tong. Liu Ao doted on Chunyuchang because Chunyuchang had a sweet mouth and quick legs, and he was also a big playmate; Liu Shi doted on Shi Xian because he was lazy, and asked Shi Xian to correct his homework for him—playing books; Liu Che doted on Li Yannian back then because he admired Li Yannian's immortality. Although the two had shared the same bed, there was no rumor about it; Liu Heng's petting of Deng Tong was purely accidental.Liu Heng had a dream in which someone lifted him up to the sky, so he sent someone to look for him, and found that Deng Tong was the one who lifted him into the sky in the dream, so he fell in love with him.

But Liu Xin is different, he dotes on Dong Xian, all because of his beauty.Ever since, the scandal spread, spreading like the wind.In the end, even the aunts who sell vegetables on Chang'an Street know that Emperor Liu Xin and Dong Xian are-same-sexual-relationship. What is the highest state of politics?It's entertainment.Because only entertainment is for the whole people.Only the politics of the whole people can be highly civilized politics.Liu Xin did not hesitate to use his frail body to climb up and lead the Han Dynasty to complete the most comic and tragic entertainment politics.

No one knows who was the first to get the news that Liu Xin and Dong Xian were gay.However, the first scandal that Liu Xin was exposed to was quite interesting. The situation was like this, Liu Xin and Dong Xian slept on the same bed, one day, Liu Xin woke up from a midday nap and found Dong Xian's head was pressing on her sleeve, and the feeling of pity and pity for the jade came from the bottom of Liu Xin's heart.He didn't want to wake up the sleeping beauty in front of him, so he pulled out his sword, cut off his sleeve, and left quietly. This is the origin of the idiom "the addiction to broken sleeves".This idiom has also become the image endorsement for later generations to describe homosexuality.

It is conceivable that he would not spread the news about Liu Xin's broken sleeve. Even if he told Dong Xian, Dong Xian would have no face to tell him.So, who discovered this classic scene?It must be a servant walking around the palace.The desire to peep is one of the most exciting desires in the world. After these attendants got the news, they definitely didn’t like to keep it to themselves, so they spread it everywhere. So when it got to Ban Gu, they had to believe it was true and write it into the official history . In fact, Liu Xin's love for Dong Xian is not a state secret.Paper can't contain the fire, let alone such a sensitive and hot topic as the emperor's homosexuality, it will definitely not escape the bright eyes of the people.So, in the end, Liu Xin also felt a little embarrassed.He kept Dong Xian under his contract for a long time and didn't let him go home. The ghosts knew what they were doing. What Liu Xin feels most guilty about is not destroying his glorious image among the general public, but being ashamed of Dong Xian's family, especially Dong Xian's wife.Ever since, in order to make up for this emotional debt, Liu Xin asked Dong Xian's wife to move into the palace, and at the same time named Dong Xian's sister Zhaoyi. Of course, Liu Xin pays in return.Dong Xian, his wife and his younger sister took turns serving Liu Xin.I did the math, even if three people take care of Liu Xin in 24-hour shifts, they would only spend eight hours each, which is no different from the modern working system.However, Dong Xian's dedication and reward for this job is the most unbalanced in history. Liu Xin was very satisfied with Dong Xian's work, and soon proposed Dong Xian's father, Dong Gong, as the young mansion and sealed off as Marquis of Guan Nei.Then, he summoned the director of engineering (who will be a master craftsman) and gave an order: to build a luxurious residence for Dong Xian outside the north gate of Weiyang Palace. The specifications of Dong Xian's residence make even Empress Dowager Fu drool.The residence is divided into the front hall and the back hall. The door of the hall is open, which is equivalent to the emperor's palace.In other words, Liu Xin built this house for Dong Xian according to his house standards. In ancient China, people's housing standards were basically the same as modern people's allocation of houses according to job titles.However, modern people are different. As long as they have money, they can build as many houses as they want, and build houses as high as they want.But it was not possible in ancient times. All buildings, whether civil or official, had a residence height and standard that could not exceed that of the emperor.Once discovered, the whole family will have to move their heads. Back then, Qin Shihuang climbed the tower and found a splendid residence outside the Xianyang Palace, so he asked who built it.Some people said that it belonged to Prime Minister Li Si's family. Qin Shihuang immediately became unhappy when he heard this.Qin Shihuang's mood basically represented the mood of all ancient emperors.But there was one exception, which did not represent Liu Xin's mood. It is not news that Liu Xin built Dong Xian's house according to the emperor's standards, and what is even more bizarre is yet to come.In order to make Dong Xian happy, Liu Xin rewarded Dong Xian with the most precious jewels of the royal family, and let Dong Xian use all the first-class items, while Liu Xin used only second-rate products. It's over, it's been too much. Liu Xin said that he hadn't played it yet.Then, he ordered the engineering director to build a luxurious cemetery for Dong Xian next to Yiling.Yiling is the place where Liu Xin was buried after his death.Any fool can see that Liu Xin wants to be buried with Dong Xian after his death. This is not called playing, to be precise, this is simply messed up. Ever since, some people really couldn't stand it, and immediately jumped out to warn them.It was useless to persuade Liu Xin to put those who didn't know how to flatter him into prison. Then, Liu Xin summoned Fu Yan, a relative of the Fu family, and said boldly: "I am going to make Dong Xian a Marquis, I hope you will cooperate seriously." When Fu Yan heard this, he immediately became stupid.Dong Xian still wants to be named a Marquis, so what will he be named after?The problem seems to be getting worse.
