So you may think that Liu Bang is an ordinary emperor who covets women, but the actual situation is far from it.
Liu Bang not only lusts after women, but also likes men. His gay partner, Ji Ru, according to historical records, is handsome but not talented. He won Liu Bang's favor by flattery alone.
BC 196, Ying Bu rebelled in the local area, and Liu Bang fell ill and did not take part in the war.
Due to the emergency, Fan Kuai and other courtiers directly broke into Liu Bang's bedroom. However, to their great surprise, they saw Liu Bangzheng sleeping on a man who was deeply loved by Ji Ru.
Ji Ru often serves beside Liu Bang. Out of love for him, Liu Bang even didn't care about state affairs for a while, and they were together all day.
Once, because Liu Bang didn't go to court for several days, it was rumored that he was seriously ill, and all the ministers went to Liu Bang's palace and were stopped by Ji Ru.
Later, Liu Bang died of illness. As for Jiru's ending, although there is no clear record in historical materials, it is certainly not much better through Lv Zhi's way.
Liu Bang not only laid the foundation for his descendants in the Han Dynasty, but also created a precedent for them to raise Toy Boy. Since then, many emperors in the Han Dynasty like to raise Toy Boy, and some have more than one.
Today, let's take a look at what the good children and grandchildren of the Liu family regard as the apple of their eye.
As the son of Liu Bang, Liu Heng was kind and generous, but he also had the common fault of ancient emperors: believing in ghosts and gods and pursuing immortality.
Once, Wendi Deng dreamed of going to heaven, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't go to heaven. Just then a yellow-headed wolf pushed him up from behind. Looking back, he saw the yellow-headed wolf wearing a light coat, with his waist sideways and a belt tied behind his back.
When Wendi woke up from his dream, he privately searched for Huang Toulang, who pushed him to heaven in his dream, and came across a stout young man with a tie tied behind him, just as he had seen in his dream. So Wendi summoned him to ask his name and learned that his surname was Deng, and his voice was close to "Deng Tong".
The excited Wendi thought he was a lucky star from heaven, so he was favored more and more.
Deng Tong is gentle, low-key, modest and unsociable. Wendi gave him several holidays, but he didn't go out to play. In the face of such a sensible and disciplined Deng Tong, Deng Wendi was very pleased and rewarded him more than a dozen times, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.
One day, Emperor Wen ordered Xu Fu to meet Deng Tong. Xu Fu bluntly said, "Deng Tong will be poor and starve to death in this life."
Wendi was surprised and said unhappily, "I am the one who can make Deng Tong rich. How can I say that he will be poor? " Soon, Deng Tong got all the copper mountains near his hometown and allowed him to make coins privately.
After the news reached his hometown, relatives and friends rushed to tell him that Fu Deng, who was over 70 years old, was naturally flattered.
He led his daughter, son-in-law and craftsmen to collect copper, burn charcoal and cast money in Tongshan area, and strictly followed Deng Tong's instructions. Every sum of money should be carefully studied, and it is absolutely forbidden to steal less than a catty and shoddy it. Therefore, the coins produced were shiny, full in weight, uniform in thickness and pure in texture, which were deeply loved by all walks of life at that time, and Deng Tong was extremely rich from then on.
One day, Wendi suffered from carbuncle, and Deng Tonggan was favored and richly rewarded by the emperor for many years, and often sucked the affected area for him. Deeply moved, Wendi Deng asked Deng Tong, "Who loves me the most in the world?" Deng Tong replied, "No one should love you more than the prince."
Later, the prince entered the palace to greet Wendi's illness, and Wendi also asked him to suck the affected area. When the prince sucked, his face turned pale. Later, he heard that Deng Tong often sucked ruby for the emperor. He felt ashamed, but he was also full of resentment against Deng Tong.
A few years later, Wendi died and the prince succeeded to the throne. This is Jing Di Liu Qi. As soon as Jingdi ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to operate on Deng Tong, depose him, pursue Tongshan and confiscate all his property.
Deng Tong, who was once richer than princes, is now in trouble, but he is no different from a beggar. He was penniless, and finally he really promised to starve to death in the street.
With the early death of Jingdi, the young Emperor and Emperor Liu Che ascended the throne. He not only relied on his parents to recuperate, fought in the Xiongnu, expanded his territory, and was energetic little Liu Tongxue, but also inherited the Liu family's fine pedigree, not only loving beauty, but also men.
As early as when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was king of Jiaodong, there was a good classmate, Han Yan, who helped each other and loved each other. When he became a prince, Liu Che and Han Yan became more intimate.
Han Yan is good at riding and shooting as well as flattery. After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he decided to crusade against Xiongnu. Han Yan first practiced Xiongnu's weapons to share the worries for the emperor. As a result, his status became more and more noble and he was promoted to a doctor. The reward given to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be compared with that given by his grandfather.
At that time, Han Yan often slept with Emperor Wu. On one occasion, Liu Fei, king of Jiangdu, went to Beijing to appear before Emperor Wudi, who ordered him to accompany him to go hunting in Shanglin Garden.
Due to the need to clear the way in advance, before the chariot of Emperor Wu set out, Han Yan was sent to take a bus, and under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, running all the way went to observe the situation of wild animals.
When King Jiangdu saw it from a distance, he thought it was Emperor Wu, so he told his followers to hide and kneel down on the side of the road to visit. Han Yan ran directly past the horse and didn't notice him.
After discovering that it was Yan Han, the humiliated King Jiangdu was very angry and cried to the Queen Mother: "Please allow me to return the country to the court and return to the palace to be a night watchman, just like Han Yan." When the Queen Mother heard about it, she also held a grudge against Han Yan.
Han Yan served the emperor and was forbidden to enter and leave Yongxiang. One day, he had an affair with Yongxiang's maid-in-waiting and was discovered by the Queen Mother. Faced with such a disgraceful scandal, the angry Queen Mother took this opportunity to send messengers to order Han Yan to commit suicide.
After learning about this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even personally begged the Queen Mother to apologize for him. The queen mother, who had had enough, was unmoved. Finally, Han Yan committed suicide.
One minute passed, and Liu's Han Dynasty throne reached the generation of Emperor Liu Xin in a blink of an eye, and Longyang's goodness reached its peak.
Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty, who had just ascended the throne for two years, was deeply attracted by Dong Xian, whose face value was extremely high, because of a recitation. Dong Xian, who is particularly confident in his appearance, also seized this opportunity with flattery and let himself successfully enter the heart of mourning the emperor.
From then on, Dong Xian's life seemed to hang in the balance. He passed through all the way, promoted to a higher position and made a fortune, and his popularity was unparalleled. The speed of rank promotion and the accumulation of wealth shocked the ruling and opposition parties.
Some people use this to flatter and curry favor with them, while others despise them and deliberately avoid them.
Through flattery, Dong Xian ingratiated himself with the mourning emperor and constantly consolidated his position in his heart.
Although he served the emperor from morning till night, Dong Xian never complained that he was tired. Even on a rest day, he didn't go home and stayed in the palace. I was embarrassed to mourn the Imperial City at that time, thinking, where can I find such a conscientious employee?
Therefore, Liu Xin, a good boss under the Sports Movement, ordered Dong Xian's wife to live directly in Dong Xian's residence in the palace, and asked Dong Xian's sister to make a Zhao Yi, second only to the Queen, and renamed her residence Feng Jiao to match the Queen's pepper room.
Next, Dong Xian's father, father-in-law and even domestic servants were greatly rewarded.
For Dong Xian, Eddie is from the heart. Gold and silver jewelry, luxury food, BMW cars, and all the good things are selected by Dong Xian first. The beloved Dong Xian will soon be on a par with Eddie in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation specifications.
Dong Xian and Eddie are close and share the same bed. During a nap, Dong Xian's head rested on Eddie's sleeve. Eddie wanted to get up, looked at the sleeping Dong Xian, and couldn't bear to disturb him. He cut his sleeve with a sword and got up and got out of bed.
From this, the idiom "the addiction of broken sleeves" was derived, which was used by later generations to refer to homosexual behavior between men.
Eddie didn't love Dong Xian enough. Once, he hosted a banquet for Dong Xian's father and son and relatives to drink, and Wang Hong and others waited on him. Slightly drunk, the emperor looked at Dong Xian beside him, and the more he looked, the more addicted he became. He even said in surprise, "I want to follow Yao Chan's example and pass the throne to Dong Xian. What do you think? "
Wang Hong, a loyal and honest man, advised, "The world belongs to the high emperor, not to your majesty. Your majesty inherits the monarchy and should pass it on to future generations until infinity. The great events handed down from generation to generation are very important, and the emperor should not talk nonsense! "
Emperor Han Ai was very unhappy and ordered Wang Hong to be driven out, and he was not allowed to wait on the banquet in the future.
After the death of Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother asked Wang Mang to handle the affairs. When follwed arrived, he began to liquidate Dong Xian.
First of all, with the help of Empress Dowager Tai, she instructed Shangshu to impeach Dong Xian. Dong Xian refused to take medicine when Emperor Ai was ill, and prohibited Dong Xian from entering and leaving the gate of Sima Fu in the temple.
The next day, follwed wrote a letter in the name of Empress Dowager Tai, withdrew Dong Xian's seal and dismissed from office. Dong Xian, who was afraid of being punished, committed suicide with his wife that day.
Toy Boy, with a beautiful face and no distractions, climbed into the dragon bed from an ordinary civilian or a humble little official with a beautiful face, gentle personality and flattering means. One person gained power and the whole family became a dignitary.
They enjoy the glory of being below one person and above ten thousand people, and they can easily get high-ranking officials and generous salaries that others can't match. I'm afraid even the three thousand beauties in the harem will be disappointed.
However, this mirage-like splendor comes and goes in a hurry, and when a person is in favor, he will inevitably fall out of favor because of his death. In the end, it is a happy dream, and it will be beaten back to its original shape, and there will be no good end.
End—
