What is the respect room for?

In the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty, there was an institution called Jing Shi. The respect room belongs to the Ministry of the Interior, and its most important duty is to manage sexual intercourse. The so-called "person who specializes in the affairs of the emperor" is also.

The sexual intercourse between the emperor, his queen and his concubine was managed and recorded by eunuchs in the respect room. The eunuch in charge of the sacrificial room must write down the year, month, day and time every time he passes by the emperor and queen, so that he can check it when he is pregnant in the future. The procedure for the emperor to have sex with his concubines is a little more complicated. Every day after dinner, the eunuch in charge presented a big silver plate with dozens of green labels in it. According to research, the official name of this brand is Tan Brand, which is also called meal card because it is often given after meals. ) The name of a concubine is written on each sign. On this day, the emperor said "go" when he didn't. If it's interesting, pick a brand, turn it upside down and put it on the plate. The manager remembered this brand and gave it to his men-eunuchs who were responsible for carrying the concubines into the bedroom and sending them to the dragon bed. (four notes: this eunuch also has a special term called eunuch Tuofei) At that time, the emperor went to bed first, covered his ankle with a quilt, and his feet were exposed; The eunuch first took off his clothes in the princess's room, wrapped his cloak and carried it back to the bedroom. Then he took off his coat and put his concubine on the bed. The princess climbed into the quilt from the exposed "dragon claws" and then "made friends with the emperor".

At this point, the eunuch left the room and waited outside the window with the manager. In order to prevent the emperor from dying halfway, the general manager had to sing outside: "It's time." If the emperor is in high spirits and pretends to be deaf, shout again. If so, the emperor could not delay any longer, so he had to "stop the ceremony" and greet the eunuch into the house. After the eunuch went in, the concubine had to face the emperor and climb out of the quilt backwards. The monarch and ministers appear before the court, and the courtiers step down. You can't turn your back and point the finger at the emperor. They must face the emperor and then retreat. This is called "yes". "Male and female servants" can't even turn their backs on the emperor naked, so they can only climb out of bed. The eunuch wrapped her in a cloak again and carried her back to the door. Then the manager came in and asked, "Do you want to stay?" When the emperor said to stay, he took out a small notebook to record the emperor's luck at a certain time. If you don't stay, the manager will come out, find a point between Yuji's waist and thigh, gently rub it, "Dragon essence will flow out" and implement artificial contraception. If contraception fails, you have to make up for abortion, because sexual intercourse that is not recorded in the book is also done in vain.

This inhuman filing system was learned by the emperor shunzhi from the Ming Dynasty to restrict children's trip to Henan. Of course, the emperor was not satisfied with this "ancestral system", but he could not change it at will, so he tried to avoid it. Palaces like Yuanmingyuan don't have to follow the filing system, so young Xianfeng lives in Yuanmingyuan most of the year. Later, Yuanmingyuan was burned down and Cixi built the Summer Palace. Is she also afraid of filing a respectful room? . It is said that eunuchs also watch people eat food, such as Kangxi. Even when the time is up, no one dares to shout outside his window. But the Tongzhi emperor is even more pitiful. He must abide by the "ancestral law". A glimpse of the ancient palace: the eunuch in the palace with boundless spring scenery: the eunuch in the palace is in charge of the emperor's sexual problems. Every day before and after the emperor had dinner, he knelt in front of the emperor with a tray. The tray is full of signs made of ivory. On the head of each sign, some are yellow, some are red and some are blue. These colors represent the ranks of queens, princesses and nobles, and there are many names on them. The emperor picked a sign and the eunuch resigned.

A year passed quickly, and there were many concubines and many concubines, so the eunuchs in the respectful room were respected by such women all the year round. Anyone who gets help from the eunuch has a chance to put her brand on the plate. Because of this relationship, eunuchs in the worship room can "collude" with these women. Some of these four words are about matter, while others are about action. Only virgins can't mess around. Once the emperor is in favor, his wisdom will expand and his interest may increase. Eunuchs do everything, but some people say, "The lame don't forget his deeds, the dumb don't forget his words, the deaf would rather listen to his voice, and the blind would rather peep at his light." Therefore, the eunuch's desire for women in the palace is still very strong. When the women in the palace are hungry, they have to let the eunuchs do whatever they want. The so-called casual, readers can get the message, I don't need to put it into words. Besides, except for the queen, other women have to take off their clothes and wrap them in the quilt before they are favored. The eunuch will send them to the dragon bed, uncover the bottom of the quilt, and then let the favored concubines climb into the quilt. When having sex, there is a eunuch outside. At a certain time, the eunuch knelt down and shouted four words "time is up", which is the rule. Some emperors may clap their hands and call for the eunuch to wrap it up and resign; Some emperors may be too happy to care when. Although they shouted "It's time" outside, they turned a deaf ear. Some people prefer to spend the night. In the movie, a eunuch shouted "Be careful of the dragon body", which is quite funny. Favored women may be selected again the next night, or they may not be selected again after the spring breeze. The deep palace is full of spring resentment, and almost every woman will taste this taste. A virgin who has not been pampered may be silent, but once she is humane, she will miss her, so there is a substitute, and young antlers are the most suitable. Because velvet antler is soft and hard, the medicinal materials can be sliced as thin as paper, which shows that its soft and hard are just right. It is a misunderstanding that people everywhere call antlers Mr. Jiao, that is, people in the south call them "Mr. Guo". Of course, the dissatisfied women in the palace like young eunuchs best. They think that eunuchs are finally men, so little eunuchs often get close opportunities, which is called "sleeping eunuchs". This is an open secret in the palace, and everyone knows it. Eunuchs were bold enough to set up "black sedan chairs" and "black cars" instead of palace women. As long as they have money, they even put beautiful men outside the palace in the palace. This has also been seen in the notes of various families, and it is also a special action of eunuchs to mess up the palace. As for the eunuchs reborn with jade stems, he can get the favor of this dissatisfied wife because he can give them practical needs. ? 0? What is the "respect room" for? As the name implies, it was originally thought to be dedicated to making tea, pouring water and lighting cigarettes for the emperor. I didn't know it was specially for the emperor's sexual life until I read A Record of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six hospitals, the emperor also had many anonymous "heterosexual couples". Some dynasties were thousands, some tens of thousands and some hundreds of thousands. How could the emperor "send away" so many women? If you believe in the emperor, you will be exhausted within three days. It turns out that the emperor's sexual life is too supervised by the "respect room" and has a complete set of rules and regulations. The emperor and Hou Xing, "the worship room only records its date and time in the book so as to get pregnant", but the emperor and other women are not. "Every night when you eat, anyone who is lucky enough to be a concubine has a green card with the names of books on it, or a dozen or dozens. The eunuch in the respectful room is put in a big silver plate and presented at dinner every night, which is called a meal card. After the emperor finished eating, the eunuch raised his plate and knelt before the emperor. If he is unlucky, he will go. If he is interested, he will take the card and turn it over, with his back up. " In the evening, a eunuch carried the woman who turned over to the emperor to the emperor's couch. "At that time, the emperor will lie down first, and his feet will no longer be used. Those who carry his concubine will take off their clothes, wrap them in a big coat, carry them to the emperor's couch and put them on the coffin. The concubine will climb up from the corner naked and make friends with the emperor. " At this time, the manager of the worship room and the eunuch who had just carried the concubine stood outside the window. If the time is too long, the general manager will sing' It's time', and the emperor should stop singing, so he will sing for the third time. At the emperor's command, the concubine was dragged out from behind the side foot. Those who carry concubines still come back in chains. ""After going, the manager will kneel and beg,' Will you stay?' The emperor said "don't stay", and then the manager would gently press the acupoint behind the concubine, and then the dragon essence would be put aside; If you say "stay", it will be written in the book, and you will bring luck to a princess one day. So the proof of pregnancy is ready. "From this passage, we can see that: 1, the eunuch in the respect room, first, very tired, carrying a woman, even if a woman is not fat or not, it is 180 kg, which is ok in winter, and the meat is next to the meat in summer, which is definitely a sweat; Second, immoral. The emperor said "don't stay", that is, "gently press the acupoint behind the concubine", which is equivalent to "abortion" for the newly "lucky" concubine, and a small life is over; This "lucky" concubine must be extremely sad. It's probably the only chance in her life. There are so many women in the palace and the "competition" is so fierce that the emperor will not "stay". Can there be another time? Third, the eunuchs here have the right to "abuse power for personal gain". Women in the palace, who don't want to let the emperor "lucky", and, after the "lucky", even if the emperor said "don't stay", the eunuch will go easy on them, "stay" a little, maybe later will have a eldest son and grandson, worth ten times. If they become the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, it's hard to say (there is such a thing in history). Therefore, how to curry favor with the eunuchs in the imperial palace is a top priority for women in the palace. It is estimated that the eunuchs at that time took bribes more seriously than the current officials! 2, the emperor's sexual life, first, although there are many women, they are not necessarily very happy. Sexual life is the continuation of feelings between men and women. I don't know, I don't have feelings, and I don't even give a chance to talk, so I go in from under my feet. How different is it from modern people who spend hundreds of dollars to buy a personality tool "self-pull and self-sing"? Second, this kind of sexual life, the emperor must have a mental burden. Generally speaking, the time and rhythm of sexual life depends on people, time, things and feelings. Even modern science is unclear. How can it be decided by a castrated eunuch? The emperor was in a bad mood and shouted "It's time" outside. After a while, he shouted again. If the emperor is in a good mood, he must gnash his teeth and want to kill the eunuch. When the eunuch knelt down and asked the emperor "Do you want to stay?" The emperor definitely kicked him away and said angrily, "Leave your mother a bitch!" In this way, the hopeful princess is out of luck; Third, "Luck" is also the patent of Emperor China. Ordinary people can't be "lucky", and neither can officials of all sizes. Only the emperor can be "lucky", and only women who have been "lucky" by the emperor can give birth to dragons and grandchildren. Imagine that such an unequal relationship and such a state of mind, the "lucky" woman is just a tool, and the emperor who has the right to "lucky" all women may not be lucky. This is the real reason why there are thousands of women in the palace and the emperor has to go outside the palace to steal chickens and touch dogs and risk syphilis (there was no AIDS at that time). History has become the past. Now there are no eunuchs and no "honour rooms". But for the truth of history, modern people don't necessarily want to know, and they don't necessarily know. Unfortunately, there are too many historical books to meet the political needs of past dynasties, and too few books really reflect the historical truth. People have long said that history is like a prostitute, at the mercy of others. In fact, history at the mercy of others is incapable of being at the mercy of ordinary people. People can't manipulate history, only those who can manipulate history and people, first and then history.
