Chapter 54 Witch Hell

The original summary of Queen Xu's written protest is: The times are different, and the long and the short complement each other, not the Han system.size Between, may not be the same.If Jing Ningqian and Huanglongqian are different in extravagance and frugality, how can it be Similar to war.The family officials don't know.In order to accept the imperial edict, the concubine can't wave his hands. Set up a concubine who wants to be a certain screen in a certain place.If there is no story, you must rope your concubine to The imperial edict is over.Eunuchs are jealous.Must want to win.When the lucky concubine is still favored,

Still messing with people in no hurry.The situation is getting more and more aggressive today.Received this imperial edict again, the Hijacking, how can there be complaints.His wife is in the Jiaofang, but His Majesty refuses to give the concubine Xianwei, If it is needed in the palace, it can be taken from the public treasury.Will look up to.The imperial edict is sincere It is feasible, but His Majesty will examine it. This happened when we met.Or on the pillow, it could have been easily solved, but the result can be predicted by using documents and memories.Mr. Liu Ao showed Empress Xu the report that Gu Yin and Liu Xiang emphasized that "disasters and blames are all in the harem".Gai not only wants her to see why he suddenly "saves the country", but also wants her to see that he has to go whoring a lot, and is about to widely promote "beauties to save the country". I hope she will have a psychological preparation first.

Empress Xu's good luck has come to an end here, and the financial restraint is only a signal that the tragedy is about to begin.At the beginning, Mr. Liu Ao occasionally stayed with her for one night, and he was perfunctory.Later, he simply ignored her.And at this time, the number of beauties in the palace expanded to more than 40,000, setting a record for the largest number of court ladies in Chinese history, not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented. In 18 BC, Ms. Zhao Feiyan entered the palace, and then Ms. Zhao Hede entered the palace. The situation became worse. More than 40,000 beauties were wiped out, and Empress Xu was even more merciless.The Zhao family sisters saw the opportunity - it's not that we broke you down, but you have already broken down, we just made things worse and pushed the boat along the way - spreading rumors and making small reports, insisting that Queen Xu and her sister, the Marquis Xu Ye Ms. and another concubine, Ms. Ban Jieyu, joined together to curse the pregnant daughter-in-law of the palace and the commander-in-chief (general) of the armed forces, Mr. Wang Feng, with witchcraft, and also cursed Liu Ao himself.

——The original text said: Zhao Feiyan told Empress Xu, her step-sister Anping Ganghou paid her respects, and Ban Jieyu coaxed and flattered her, wishing and cursing Wang Meiren and Feng, who were pregnant in the harem, to the lord. ——Ban Jieyu, from Anling (East of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province), one of her nephews is a famous historian—Mr. Ban Gu, the author of "Han Shu", and the other is a pioneering hero in China , Mr. Ban Chao, the King of Kings in the Western Regions (Xinjiang).Ms. Ban Jieyu was elected to the palace after Mr. Liu Ao succeeded to the throne. At first, she was a "Minor Envoy" (the eleventh level of concubine Ji), and later she was promoted to "Jing (the side of the silk is replaced with a female)" (third level of concubine Ji) , and finally promoted to "Jieyu" (Ji concubine level two, only one level lower than Ms. Zhao Hede's "Zhaoyi"), gave birth to a boy, but died soon after.

Ms. Ban Jieyu was born in a family of high-ranking intellectuals, so she had the cultivation of etiquette and righteousness and literary skills that ordinary old women at that time seldom had.Mr. Liu Ao once loved her very much, once.Mr. Liu Ao was wandering in the imperial garden, and invited her to sit with him in the car, which is a great honor in the court, but she politely declined, saying: "Brother, history shows that all sage kings always have ministers with high esteem and respect." Be by my side; only a bewildered king would especially like his beloved beauties." Although Mr. Liu Ao is Ximen Qing's prostitute, he is still willing to hear others say that he is wise and wise, so Long Xin is very happy.When the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun heard this, Long Xin was also overjoyed, and praised: "In ancient times there was Fan Ji, but now there is Ban Jieyu."

——Ms. Fan Ji was the concubine of Mr. Mi Lu, the sixth king of the Chu Kingdom in the sixth century BC.Mr. Mi Lue loves hunting. He is not only cruel, but also neglects government duties. Ms. Fan Ji dissuades him and learns not to eat meat. Mr. Mi Lue has no choice but to stop running around outside.One day, Mr. Mi Lu presided over the imperial meeting and came back late. The courtesan Fan asked him why he was delayed. The scholar couldn't help covering his cherry mouth and laughing. Mr. Mi Lu said: "What are you laughing at?" Ms. Fan Ji said: "Mr. Yuqiuzi has been prime minister for ten years, and he has never heard of him recommending a talent, and he has never I heard that he dismissed a bad guy. He doesn't seem to be wise, but just a sly and cunning man. He not only deceived his chief, but also took advantage of Mao's resistance and prevented people with real talents from entering the government. You still appreciate He." After hearing these words, Mr. Yu Qiuzi knew that he couldn't get along, so he recommended Mr. Sun Shuao to be the prime minister. Under Mr. Sun Shuao's rule, the Kingdom of Chu dominated the world at that time.

——Even though the empress dowager, Ms. Wang Zhengjun, praised Ms. Ban Jieyu, when she heard that she was following Queen Xu, she cursed with a witchcraft, and immediately turned her face.When the court judge interrogated Ms. Ban Jieyu, she said to her: "I have heard that life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky. Trying to do good deeds does not necessarily lead to happiness. Does doing evil deeds lead to the pursuit of peace?" What? If ghosts and gods know, they will not accept my curse. If ghosts and gods are ignorant, what is the use of my curse?"

Mr. Liu Ao was deeply moved and released her without further investigation.Ban Jie finally escaped to death, but the popularity of the Zhao family sisters was growing rapidly. She knew that she would be rejected more severely, so she asked to retreat to the Changqing Palace to serve the Empress Dowager, Ms. Wang Zhengjun.Leaving the position of imaginary enemy is the only way to protect yourself. ——After the death of Mr. Liu Ao, Ms. Ban Jieyu went to the cemetery to guard the tomb, and died of illness there.A generation of talented women died lonely.
