According to historical records, more than 200 palace maids were caned to death by Emperor Jiajing, and countless eunuchs were caned to death...
Of course, even so, the factor of Emperor Jiajing was not Feng Bao's biggest worry.
Because even before Feng Bao took up a position in the Wenshufang, which was similar to the Jingshifang, he was still serving Emperor Jiajing in front of the palace. He could not avoid the danger of Emperor Jiajing in this regard.
Moreover, in the past six months of serving in front of the palace, Feng Bao had learned some tricks to serve the Emperor Jiajing, and at least he would not make some low-level mistakes like Xiao Zhangzi, who was beaten to death for burping in front of the palace. His chance of survival was much higher than that of ordinary young eunuchs.
"What I'm worried about is the Empress." Feng Bao said to Zhu Ping'an with a gloomy face. When he mentioned the female masters in the harem, he still looked scared.
Indeed, what Feng Bao was most worried about were the lady bosses in the harem, and it was these lady bosses in the harem who caused Feng Bao's current situation where his life was in danger.
Although Emperor Jiajing cultivated immortality and made elixirs in an attempt to become an immortal, he did not give up sex. On the contrary, his desire for sex was particularly strong. He could be called a walking male teddy bear, very, very lustful. The purpose of Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of immortality and making elixirs to become an immortal was to enjoy all the benefits of an emperor, power and women for a long time.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing had sex very frequently. As the eunuch Feng Bao who arranged Emperor Jiajing's sex lives, he also had the heavy task of arranging the concubines in the harem to sleep with him.
He will also inevitably be targeted by the female masters in the harem.
There are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courtyards, plus more than a hundred female masters such as noble ladies, beauties, talented ladies, etc., all eagerly waiting to sleep with him.
However, there was only one male master in the harem, Emperor Jiajing. No matter how lustful Emperor Jiajing was, he could only have sex with one concubine a night. Well, even if Emperor Jiajing disregarded the ancestral system and looked for some excitement, occasionally went crazy and had a dragon and two phoenixes, he could only have two concubines sleeping with him.
Too many monks and too little meat!
More than a hundred hostesses were satisfied with Emperor Jiajing's cucumber!
They couldn't do anything to Emperor Jiajing, and as the eunuch who arranged the emperor's sex life, Feng Bao naturally became the room card in the eyes of these female masters!
Although on the surface the Jiajing Emperor's sexual life was decided by the Jiajing Emperor, and he could have sex with whomever he liked, but... the eunuchs could find loopholes in the preparation, reminders to concubines, implicit recommendations, time control, file records, and other aspects.
Therefore, it was only natural that Feng Bao became the key card in the eyes of the mistresses in the harem.
If the Jiajing Emperor still had the Empress in charge of the harem at that time, these imperial concubines, noble concubines, imperial concubines and other female masters would have some scruples, after all, the Empress was in charge of the harem and had the right to ask about the Emperor's sexual affairs. However, unfortunately, a fire four years ago burned in Empress Fang's bedroom. Because of Emperor Jiajing's fault, rescue was not timely and Empress Fang was burned to death in the bedroom.
Emperor Jiajing resented Empress Fang for executing his favorite concubine, Concubine Cao Duan, during the "Renyin Palace Rebellion", so he used this fire to avenge her.
However, Emperor Jiajing was, after all, a man who practiced Taoism and alchemy and was always taking drugs, and his spirit cannot be understood by ordinary people.
After Empress Fang was burned to death, Emperor Jiajing remembered that Empress Fang had saved him during the "Renyin Palace Change". After a while, he regretted it and felt guilty. Not only did he bury Empress Fang with the status of his original empress, he also gave her a series of Taoist names.
Out of guilt, Emperor Jiajing never appointed another empress, and the position of empress has remained vacant ever since.
Without a queen in charge and a leader absent, the female masters in the harem, such as the imperial concubine, noble concubine, and imperial concubines, became even more unscrupulous in their fights.
Although some female masters may not be interested in the little cucumber of Emperor Jiajing, or may not be competitive by nature, they take a fatalistic and helpless attitude towards the arrangements of sleeping with the emperor.
However, more than 90% of the mistresses still actively strive for the opportunity to sleep with the emperor. The harem is strictly hierarchical, and the mistresses are also divided into different levels and have positions. Their positions are related to their status and welfare in the harem. The money they receive, the food, drinks, clothes, furnishings, etc. are all related to their positions. Moreover, there are many servants in the harem who flatter the powerful and bully the weak.
Only by getting the chance to sleep with the emperor can one gain the favor of Emperor Jiajing; only by gaining the favor of Emperor Jiajing can one be promoted to a higher position.
Moreover, if she is lucky enough to get pregnant and give birth to a prince while serving the emperor in bed, she can be directly made a concubine.
In addition, even if you are a concubine, noble concubine, or imperial noble concubine, as the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Now that the position of empress is vacant, it is the right time to make a move. If you are favored by Emperor Jiajing and whisper in his ear, you may be promoted to empress and realize the highest dream in a woman's mind.
Therefore, more than 90% of the hostesses in the harem use various means to actively strive for the opportunity to sleep with the emperor and stage a promotion story in the harem.
Feng Bao, who was responsible for arranging the emperor's sexual affairs, naturally came into the sight of these mistresses and became a shining room card.
Logically speaking
Feng Bao's duties were so important to the ladies in the harem that even if they were of noble status, they would look up to Feng Bao and give him some benefits to win him over. After all, if they treated Feng Bao well, Feng Bao would naturally favor them in the arrangements for sleeping with him, which was a hundred benefits without any harm.
really
At the beginning, Feng Bao had a pretty good life. On his first day in office, several noble masters sent people to reward Feng Bao.
One large roll of Jiang cloth, two rolls of makeup satin, five sets of each of the finest eunuch uniforms from the weaving bureau for spring, summer, autumn and winter, one wolfskin blanket, thirty taels of silver, and two bracelets. The rewards for this day alone were much more than what Feng Bao had accumulated in the palace over the years. Every meal was rewarded by the masters of the harem, and as for the scattered rewards, Feng Bao was overwhelmed with them.
The next two days were also good. Although the rewards were not as much as the first day, Feng Bao was still very happy.
However, the crisis soon came.
With so many rewards for his mistresses, who should he help to sleep with? Although it was Emperor Jiajing who made the decision, Feng Bao could still find loopholes and make some moves to secretly help the mistresses to sleep with him successfully.
There are so many female masters who were rewarded, but only one can sleep with Emperor Jiajing at night. It has been at least half a month since Emperor Jiajing has had sex with her...
If this mistress goes to sleep with the emperor, she will offend other mistresses.
The hostesses in the harem love to compare with each other. Today, I am serving the emperor in bed, so I can show off in front of other concubines. I can show off the bracelets or pendants given by Emperor Jiajing, and I can show off in front of other concubines to vent the anger I suffered in front of other concubines.
"This is a gift from my master. I said no, but he insisted on giving it to me, saying that this pendant is the best match for my skin color..."
"Sisters, look at the difference in this pearl. It is rounder, bigger, more lustrous, and more translucent... I don't see what's wrong with it. Grandpa said he had someone fish it out in the South China Sea. You're just trying to fool me..."
Therefore, the other female masters who were unable to sleep with the king would naturally be even more angry.
Then, Feng Bao got into trouble.
Of course, this is not the most dangerous thing.
