Snail-spotted painting is ruthless and the underground war of the old frequency

The ancient Chinese emperors all possessed a huge harem - the residence of the Empress, Empress, the Emperor and eunuchs. Not inferior to the imperial court, the harem is complicatedly organized, with competition, intrigue and intimidation.

Hierarchy and authority in the harem

The head of the Chinese harem is usually the Queen, the official wife of the king. The queen was especially respected by the people because she was considered a "suspicious person". Only the King and Queen of the King's mother had a higher position than the Queen, all the rest had to obey her orders. Besides the Queen there is also Queen Mother - Queen of the previous King. The famous Thai Empresses were Vo Tac Thien of the Tang Dynasty (who later became the first female Emperor of China) and the Qing Dynasty Empress Dowager.

The selected frequency bands have many strict criteria.

Under the Empress is the frequency. The number and rank of the frequency bands vary by dynasty. For example, under the Qing Dynasty, a harem would have a royal noble, two nobles and four phi. Below are the frequency and concubine, the number of changes according to the king, can be up to hundreds, thousands of people.

During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a formal system was developed to select the frequency for the harem. The selection process will take place at the Forbidden City every three years. Candidates aged 14-16, selected based on background, content, virtue, personality and health status.

To ensure that no illicit love stories occur, men are absolutely not allowed to enter the harem, the only exception being eunuchs. Not only during the day of service, many eunuchs also participated in the political affairs to acquire power and status. In the Ming Dynasty, about 100,000 eunuchs were brought into the palace to serve his King and harem.

The wars are underground

In an overcrowding of women, jealousy of competition is inevitable. Everyone wished to win the Emperor's favor, yearning to be promoted to Empress, and especially to give birth to the prince. Sometimes, the Empress and the frequency bands divide factions, collude with eunuchs, harm each other. When they achieve their desires, the pilots will have a higher status, and so will the eunuchs.

The eunuchs are the only men to enter the harem.

Plots to harm each other in harem places appear dense in history. The beauties who are favored by the Emperor or born the prince suddenly become a thorn in the eyes of the rest. One of the pilots is known for its insatiable jealousy and the cruel tricks of Zhuge Tin in the Han Dynasty. Then King Luu Khuc was very fond of a beautiful concubine, Vong Nguong. Chieu Tin was envious of envy, slandering Vong Nguong and attempting to harm the king. The king believed the words, sent the people to torture Vong Nguong, and she ran away and planted herself into the well.

The harsh life in the depths of the palace has made the weak female parts become cold-blooded and hardened. During the Tang Dynasty, one of the King's wife, Võ Mị Nương, was keen to kill his newborn child and slander for Vương Hoàng. As a result, the Queen was deposed and Võ Mị Nương became the new Queen. After Vuong Hau was banished to the palace, Võ Mị Nương also sent his subordinates to torture her with cruel tricks to avenge the days of being threatened and harmed by her.

In the Ming and Quy Dynasty, the family of the Great King of the King of Ton Ton was no longer able to become pregnant, so he decided not to let anyone else give birth to the king. One of them was pregnant and gave birth to a boy, but feared that the mother and daughter were harmed, a eunuch had hid the baby in a safe place. Some time later, when the king knew the story, he was happy to welcome the mother and daughter to the palace. Van Quy was angry, immediately murdered Ky Thi. The eunuch was too scared to swallow gold himself.

The logistics of the harem is also cruel and fierce, not inferior to politics.

As a matter of course, the frequency bands were almost tragic after the King's death. Many people were buried alive under the King to serve him in the afterlife. So just see, harem life is not just silk and peace.
