Chapter 116 Section 3 The Price of the Throne

According to Qu Zhi's calculations, the Empress Dowager Huayang has been a widow for eleven years.Her peerless appearance destined her life to be more difficult than that of ordinary widows.The narcissistic and perverted Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty once took a selfie in the mirror and sighed: "What a beautiful head, who should cut it?" The Empress Dowager Huayang faced the mirror and should also lament and pity herself: "A peerless beauty, who can please her?" ?” When the window is arranging clouds and temples, the decals on the mirror are yellow.The more beautiful the person, the more desolate the heart.Zhu Huai empty lock resentment, a thousand lines of tears on the pillow.I think back in those days when King Xiaowen was there, he had the heart to thrush his eyebrows, and there was no time for love.Now the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes can be drawn thousands of times, but who will look at them?

She is not willing to let her beauty be taken away by the years for nothing.There is no hatred in my heart, and I have not been a flower picker.In her final flowering season, she needs someone to admire her, to praise her, to share in the splendor of bloom.When her last beautiful petal was blown off the branch of life by the wind, she hoped that it could fall on the elegant palm and pour out the remaining fragrance, instead of being buried in the yellow mud with the dead leaves and branches.Her lust is still burning, looking forward to tender kisses and rough embraces.When the young and handsome Cheng Yu appeared in front of her at the right time, she couldn't help but feel excited, and couldn't control herself anymore.

The sleepy request of the Empress Dowager Huayang made Cheng Xu feel like hearing a thunderbolt.He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, grabbed the ground with his head, and apologized repeatedly.Although he and the Empress Dowager Huayang are not related by blood, if they slept together, it would still be undeniable incest. The same behavior will get different evaluations in different eras.The same goes for incest.Today's evaluation of incest is different from that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is even more different from that of ancient times.

At the earliest, in the ignorant period of human beings, there was no such thing as sex, and naturally there was no incest at all, let alone prohibiting it.There are many such records in ancient Chinese books: In ancient times, there was often no ruler, and the people lived together in groups, knew their mothers but did not know their fathers, had no relatives, brothers, husbands and wives, the difference between men and women, and the way to grow up and down. "Men and women travel together, no matchmaker, no employment."According to this, it was a primitive era of group marriage and interbreeding, and incest was inevitable.Darwin, a Westerner, also drew another picture of ancient society: At that time, human beings were divided into several independent small groups.Each small group is ruled by a strong man.He has unlimited power, all women are his property, let him squander and vent, including his wife and daughter.It can be said that incest at this time is a common phenomenon, and its motivation is more out of biological desire and animal instinct, and it is also for better reproduction and preservation of the population.

In some versions of the creation myth, there are also clear traces of incest.I heard a certain creation myth in our country when I was a child. It said that the great flood destroyed all living things, and only Fuxi and Nuwa, brothers and sisters, survived after running to the high Kunlun Mountains.Fuxi wants to sleep with Nuwa in order to reproduce and continue mankind.Nuwa refused, saying that unless you catch up with me.So the two circled around the mountain, but Fuxi couldn't catch up with Nuwa.How to do it?Later, the gods came out to point Fuxi and told him to run in the opposite direction.Fuxi followed the instructions of the gods and caught up with Nuwa, so the two fell asleep and gave birth to human beings.

Chapter 19 of Genesis in the Old Testament of the Bible tells the story of the incest between Lot and his two daughters.The LORD destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the surviving Lot and his two daughters fled into the mountains and lived in a cave.The elder daughter said to the younger daughter, "Our father is old, and no one on earth comes to us according to the custom of the world. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and lie with him. In this way, we may preserve offspring from him. ” So the elder daughter and the younger daughter made Lot drink wine, and then took turns sleeping with Lot, and later became pregnant.This story also deliberately added a detail that seems to have been written by a second-rate pornographic writer: "Lot doesn't know when his daughter lies down and when she gets up."

Prohibiting incest is no less important to human beings than walking upright.When human beings bid farewell to ancient times and began to enter civilization, incest still exists, but it has been transformed from a public behavior to a privilege of gods and royal families.In Greek mythology, if all the incest stories in it were deleted, I believe it would not be as colorful and fascinating as it is now.In ancient Egypt, it is said that pharaohs used their sisters as their first and official wives.The Ptolemaic princes who ruled Egypt after Pharaoh also continued this "sacred and glorious" tradition.In the Xiongnu tribes that were adjacent to the Qin State at that time, there is still such a custom: when a person dies, his successors, usually his brothers, inherit his women just like his flock.In the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains, even dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period, it was not uncommon for women to move around between the beds of fathers, sons and brothers.At that time, the crime of incest and the moral pressure were much smaller than today.

The gods are far away and cannot be guessed.The incest of the royal family certainly has an unusual protection and concern for pure blood, but it does not rule out psychological reasons, that is, to seek the highest spiritual satisfaction, and to pay tribute to the gods through incest. Declaring oneself as the spokesperson of the gods in the world is not only above the law, but also above morality. Then we will look back to the Side Palace.The Empress Dowager Huayang saw that Cheng Xun was determined not to follow, so she half threatened and half seduced: "Your father abandoned you in Zhao State back then, without your mother inside, and hoped to return but you can't get it. How can you be the King of Qin in the future?"

Cheng Yu put his head on the ground and said in a respectful voice: "The first king can be the king of Qin, all thanks to the Queen Mother." The Empress Dowager Huayang said: "Since the old woman can abolish her son as the crown prince, she can make your father the king of Qin. If you do what I want, the old woman should also follow your wishes. You are the king of Qin, only when the old woman turns back Between. You think about it." Cheng Yu is very smart.He is very clear that at this time and at that time, the power of the Empress Dowager Huayang is no longer comparable to that when King Xiaowen was in power. Even so, when it comes to her prestige and status, no one in the clan can match her.With the backing support of the Empress Dowager Huayang, his chances of becoming king will be greatly increased.This is a naked sex transaction, and the bargaining chip is Qin's throne.Cheng Yu decides to close the deal.

The taut string suddenly loosens, or actually breaks, and everything happens.That piece of flesh that was still soft and greasy was restless in Cheng Yu's young arms.Every inch of skin and every curve of his body has been touched, explored, possessed, and conquered countless times by his grandfather. Cheng Yu went back to the house, hugged the mirror and cried bitterly.Mi Xin listened from across the door, although she didn't know it, her heart ached inexplicably.Cheng Yu looked at himself in the mirror in despair.My God, if being handsome is also a crime, then I will undoubtedly be a first-degree felon.
