Since its construction to the present, dozens of emperors have lived in the Forbidden City, leaving behind countless historical stories that are both interesting and scary. Especially the spooky mysteries surrounding this place. Although it is just a word of mouth, unverified and unanswered, it also makes the public extremely excited and curious. Inside the Forbidden City, there are always many mysteries In 1992, a group of tourists visiting the Forbidden City saw the image of a group of palace maids dressed in ancient costumes, lining up to walk in the rain, causing everyone to panic. Witnessing this, some people in the tour group, after regaining their senses, used their cameras to capture the strange scene. Before this mysterious event, there were some scientists who made their own statements, but not many people recognized them. After the above story was widely spread, many people wondered why only these guests witnessed the image of the palace maids. After a while, some scientists explained that perhaps the red walls at the Imperial Palace contain Fe3O4 (iron oxide) and this is the cause of this phenomenon. Specifically, the camera of the delegation contains iron oxide and thanks to this component, when an electric current flows through, the camera can record images of the bows. The researchers also believe that electricity from lightning can travel through red walls, turning it into a “giant camera”. Or like the story in the royal garden, there are often warm female voices during the day and pitiful cries at night Accordingly, it is possible that more than 100 years ago, the group of palace maidens also walked in this area in the middle of a storm. It was the strong lightning in the rain and the red wall that acted as a camera, capturing this scene. After more than 100 years, during the same rain in 1992, the “giant camera” once again happened to work. However, it does not record the image as before, but this time it emits the image. Facing this judgment, some architects have protested because the red wall in the Forbidden City has been painted and repaired many times, so if there is really iron oxide, it has been covered for a long time and cannot be created. a “giant camera” as scientists put it. However, some old people who lived in the Forbidden City in the past believe that this place is a “park” of spirits. In the old feudal times, palace maids and eunuchs were often pushed into a well or beaten to death in a secluded corner. And perhaps because of their sudden death, they are still lingering in this world. In the book “Folk legends of old Beijing” is recorded the story of an elderly eunuch about an incident he witnessed in the past, when the Qing dynasty had not yet ended. He said: “It was an extremely hot night, and I and some other eunuchs returned to their accommodation to rest after completing their assigned tasks. At that time, I went last. Suddenly, I felt Someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind. But when I looked back, I didn’t see anyone.” Many thrilling stories have created the veil of mystery of this ancient place. The old eunuch emphasized his fear, revealing: “I was so scared inside, but I could only keep walking. Then someone tapped me on the shoulder again. I still thought it was the person. But when I turned to look back, I only saw a palace maid without legs, floating in the air.” “At that time, because I was so scared, I screamed. An elderly eunuch later scolded me many times, he said these ghosts are not to blame. Because they only used to go out late at night for a walk. comfort, not arbitrarily harming anyone.” Although there are many conflicting opinions on this issue, so far, no one has been able to give an explanation for this mysterious event. Therefore, the image of the palace maidens walking in the rain in 1992 is forever a mystery.

Therefore, this place preserves many values ​​of culture, history, architecture… Besides, the Forbidden City attracts the attention of many people by its scary ghost stories. The rumor that the Forbidden City is “haunted” comes from the fact that this lavish palace is where many palace ladies, eunuchs, and concubines died while living in this place hundreds of years ago. Many people died in the Forbidden City with gruesome causes such as being killed by poisoning, beating to death and then throwing the body into the well… Due to death with grisly causes, their souls do not escape.

In the Forbidden City, the palace is a real place, but in the vast Palace, there is no place to hang the sign ‘palace’. Therefore, the palace is just a concept, not a specific place. The emperor has thousands of concubines, to get a place in the emperor’s heart is a difficult thing, so they have to fight for favors. Forbidden City where there is no shortage of horror stories câu Competition for favors is not only for the sake of love, but also for the sake of survival. The concubines who were not favored by the emperor or could not bear children, after the death of the emperor, would spend the rest of their lives alone in the palace or in the emperor’s mausoleum until the end of their lives, then they would be buried around them. around the mausoleum. Often the Chinese emperors die due to heavy burdens of hardship, then their beautiful women still have a lot of “inventory”, most of which are very young, only about 18, 20 years old. However, according to the regulations, both, their later lives will only live to worship their husbands and are not allowed to marry other husbands. The palace is considered the “hell on earth” of the old palace maidens After the death of the emperor, the palace maids will be pushed into the forbidden palace for widows, and the young people will be herded into the palace to live to worship their husbands. Here, the palace maids were only allowed to go in and out, read books and then recite poems, or watch the moon and enjoy the moon with the maids and eunuchs. This form of confinement makes the mood of these concubines and maidens often melancholy, depressed, desperate, sleepless, leading to many diseases. Everywhere they live is moldy, full of ash. Most of the concubines entering the palace are not willing to volunteer, they complain to the heavens, constantly screaming, will gradually go crazy and commit suicide, most of them will not have a good ending. Originally considered a place for mental torture, the palace was actually a place to relieve the guilty palace maids What the concubines go through will leave traces in the palace, from scratches on the wall, blood stains on the door, torn window frames, ramshackle tables and chairs that are out of shape… This makes it easy to feel fear, chills The palace is located in a remote place, few people visit, the Emperor and Empress never set foot here. It is also a place to be punished by concubines, so there is no chance to preserve and repair it. Under the destructive force of time, gradually the palace will also be worn down, from wood to weak thin walls, and finally to the stone structure frame. During the Guangxu Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Guangxu’s beloved Tran Phi was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Tu Xi in the northern room of the Canh Ky, and then the imperial consort was forced to jump into the well and die. During the Ming Dynasty, the Qianxi Palace to the west of Ngu Hoa Vien was used as the imperial palace. Khach Thi was the nanny of Emperor Minh Hy Tong – Chu Du Hieu. Khach Thi colluded with the eunuch Wei Trung Hien and held a lot of power in the palace. All those who did not like Khac Thi were harmed. As Truong Du Phi had a conversation with Khach Thi, she held hatred in her heart and put a bad word in front of Emperor Hy Tong, saying that the child that Truong Du Phi carried in her was not the emperor’s flesh and blood. After listening to this, Hy Tong sent Truong Du Phi to the imperial palace in the position of Ngu Hoa Vien of the Qing Dynasty. Guest Thi also did not allow people to bring enough food, causing Truong Du Phi to starve to death in the palace. Thanh Phi, another concubine of Hy Tong, had a kind heart and told the emperor Truong Du Phi’s tragic story. Khach Thi learned that she also faked the emperor’s edict and imprisoned Thanh Phi in the palace west of Ngu Hoa Vien. Thanh Phi foresaw this scene and hid food, so he escaped from starvation. After that, some concubines were also detained here. During the reign of Emperor Minh Hien Tong, Empress Ly Muc Ky was also imprisoned in the palace. The special thing is that a future emperor was born here. At that time, Van Quy Phi was favored by Emperor Hien Tong and did not like others to approach him. Those who gave birth to the emperor’s children and even the pregnant Queen Hieu Mu were also brought into the palace. The empress gave birth to Chu Huu Duong and later became Emperor Minh Hieu Tong. With the help of many eunuchs and court ladies, Chu Huu Duong lived in the palace until the age of 6, when he was allowed to enter the palace to receive his father. In addition, a researcher once mentioned “An Lac Duong”, also a leader. Women who are guilty or old and sick are brought here. His thrilling stories are still a mystery to this day This place was originally used to imprison concubines, even witnessed many deaths of disgraced concubines. Therefore, since ancient times, there have been many thrilling and terrifying anecdotes surrounding the palace. There are even many people who have said that they have seen women wearing white clothes with hair tied in the style of the Qing dynasty, crying bitterly and tragically. Is the fact that the palace is not open to visitors also related to spiritual reasons as many people still say? Up to now, the Forbidden City is nearly 600 years old. Every year, this place serves tens of millions of tourists from all over the world. However, the palace at the Forbidden City is still a ‘do not approach’ place. In fact, people only know about the palace through history books and movies.

Legend has it that Tan Vu Emperor Sima Viem (263-290) had countless concubines and beauties. Every night, they didn’t know what to do, ie with whom. He invented a sheep cart and sat on it himself, letting the sheep drag him around the palaces of his concubine. The car stops in front of the palace gate, the emperor will spend the night there. Cards with the names of the concubines for the king to choose the palace. The famous wealthy emperor Duong Huyen Tong Ly Long Co (285 – 762) used another method, he arranged for his concubines to serve him in turn. Whenever emotions ran high, suddenly excited to think of something new, the king called every day a group of concubines into the palace, letting them roll the dice. The person who rolls the best dice will stay in the service of the emperor. Therefore, many officials in the palace often secretly call the dice “the matchmaker of the chisel”. Diameter Tong Ly Tram (809 – 826) also invented “goodbye style” , is the arrow that decides who the king sleeps with tonight. He ordered the user to bend the bamboo bark into a bow, take the paper folded into an arrow, the paper will be impregnated with musk. After calling the concubines, Duong Huyen Tong will shoot a single arrow. Those who hit the arrow will be imbued with this fragrance and spend a beautiful spring night with the king. Until the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), the king’s regulation “lottery” c The concubine meeting before each night of marriage became a clear, regular and relatively strict regime. The apparatus that governs the nightlife of the emperor in the harem is called “Honorable Room” , the person in charge with the highest authority is the eunuch Kinh vien, who is responsible for arranging and recording the sexual life of the emperor and concubine. When the emperor and the queen spent the night together, this eunuch was forced to clearly and detailed records of the day, month, and year as evidence of later conception. The royal concubine and the queen are not the same, each concubine favored by the king has a green visitation card, the eunuch Kinh vien will bring from one to several dozen visit cards with the concubine’s name on a large silver tray, offering to the emperor for dinner. Waiting for the king to finish eating, the eunuch will kneel on the ground, waiting for the emperor “lottery” . At that time, the king will draw a lot and place it on a silver tray. The concubine whose name is engraved on it will be able to spend the night with the emperor. After retreating, the eunuch Kinh will inform the concubine to take a fragrant bath and do all the necessary preparations. When the emperor goes to bed, this eunuch will take off all his clothes and wrap a feather around the concubine, then carry him into the palace of the emperor. This is a safe way to prevent someone from hiding a weapon in their body and bringing it to the palace. After bringing the concubine in, the eunuch Jing will retreat to guard with a few other eunuchs. At the end of the allotted time, the eunuch will shout “Time is up” If the emperor does not answer, he will call again, repeat three times, must carry the other concubine back. At the same time, the eunuch eunuch would still fully record the day, month, and year as evidence of later conception. Pregnancy or not has a great influence on the high and low position of the concubines in the future. In terms of expression, the emperor decides on his own nightlife, but the specific steps range from arranging the location of the visit card, the preparation work, escorting the concubine to mastering the time, keeping records, and Supervisors can use tricks to take advantage of loopholes. The concubines, if they offend the eunuch, are extremely unlucky, so they always try to flatter and bribe this eunuch. Even though the Emperor holds the power to kill and kill, he still has to make some concessions to the eunuch, Respectfully, I hope they “Hold up high and beat softly” with its nightlife. The reason for the regime “lottery” This was maintained because the Qing emperor also considered it possible to clearly check and verify the bloodline of the princes and princesses, which was very important in deciding the selection of a successor. It can be seen that the “lottery” mode to choose non-discrimination is the product of the insatiable adultery of ancient Chinese kings. The non-gods have become toys to solve the emperor’s physiological needs and breeding tools, but in their eyes, this is a lifetime opportunity that is hard to get. This clearly shows the brutality to the extreme of the old feudal system.

Chong Trinh Emperor can be considered as the emperor with the most tragic fate in the history History of the Ming Dynasty . Unlike other kings who lost their country in history, during the 17 years of Sung Trinh De’s reign, he always ruled the kingdom, carried out reforms, wiped out the parties in the court, and always worked diligently. hope to save the tragedy of the decline of the Ming dynasty. Unfortunately it’s too late! The court at that time had hundreds of thousands of holes, politics was chaotic, moreover Ming Dynasty At that time, it was in the “downhill without brake” stage, the people lamented endlessly. The area of ​​Guangdong, Xiamen, even Hainan has snowfall, drought in the North, floods in the South, it is this extreme weather phenomenon that has fueled the fire of hatred among the people when life Theirs had fallen into an impoverished stalemate. Because of that, peasant uprisings arose everywhere, for the Ming court, it was cold and foggy, and things that were bad are now getting worse. Starting from the first year of Chong Trinh (ie 1628), there was a great drought in the North of China, the land was white and the grass could not grow, in the “Han Nam custom of the district” it was recorded that: Illustrations. “In the first year of Chongzheng, the whole Shaanxi region was red like blood. In the fifth year there was a famine; in the sixth year there was a flood; in the seventh year there was a locust plague, causing a loss of crops and famine; in September of the eighth year, Xixiang In the tenth year, there was a great drought, Luoc Duong had a great flood, and houses were ruined; in the ninth year, there was a great drought and locusts; in the tenth year, the autumn crops were completely lost; in the eleventh summer, locusts flew through the sky; … in the tenth year. three great droughts; … the fourteenth year of the great drought.” The appearance of the rebels Because to cut spending, Emperor Chong Trinh ordered the removal of the epidemic station, the savings were used for military expenses in the Northeast. But no one expected that this staff reduction would bring back Chong Trinh De a very strong enemy, which is Ly Tu Thanh. After being dismissed, Ly Tu Thanh joined the insurgent army and soon became Thunder King. In 1644, the insurgents attacked the Forbidden City. Faced with the situation of dehydration near the shelf, along with the scene of the insurgent army breaking through the main gate of Beijing, Emperor Chong Trinh’s heart was like cold ashes, completely hopeless. In fact, this emperor could have fled with his court officials to the south, to Nanjing, continuing to maintain Ming domination. Because at that time, Nanjing has always been Beijing’s subsidiary capital, Beijing has a key force, and Nanjing also has a part. Moreover, there are still some descendants of the Zhou family, who did not follow Beijing, still continue to live in Nanjing. So even if Beijing was later destroyed, Emperor Chongzhen could still establish a new government in Nanjing. If Emperor Chongzheng can escape from Beijing, with his status, position and talent, the Ming dynasty still has the opportunity to rebuild and rebuild again. But Chong Trinh De was a brave Emperor. Outside of the chaotic army, he sadly looked back at the palace and his relatives and then chose to commit suicide according to the country. The fate of the concubines who served the Chong Trinh Emperor It is surprising that many of his concubines have committed suicide with him. Emperor Chong Trinh wholeheartedly took care of the country, so his harem concubines were not many. Moreover, the affection between Emperor Chong Trinh and Empress Chau was also very good, so he did not favor many other girls. Therefore, there are very few records of his concubine in history, moreover, there are also some people of high status who died at a young age. By the time the country died, there were not many people who personally paid their respects. The relationship between Chong Trinh De and Chau Empress has always been very good, extremely close, the feelings of the two can be compared to the love of a loving couple. Chong Trinh De and Chau Empress parted for the last time, after saying goodbye, Empress Chau also hanged herself and died. In addition to the Empress, there is also Consort Yuan. After parting, Consort Yuan also tied her neck with a rope, unfortunately because her body was a bit fat, so the rope broke. Yuan Gui fell to the ground, was in a coma for a while, and then regained consciousness. When the Qing army entered, she was arranged by the Qing army in a suitable position, enjoying her old age. Concubine Dien Quy was also one of the concubines of Emperor Chong Trinh. She was also favored by the king. Unfortunately, her health was always not good, so the three princes she gave birth to were also sick and died young. Tian Guifei couldn’t get over such a shock, was too pitiful, caused constant illness, and eventually died prematurely. Consort Vuong Thuan is also one of the concubines who died early. She came from a poor background, was a maidservant next to Chau Empress, the relationship between the two of them was very good. During his time at Tin Vuong Palace, he served Emperor Chong Trinh and Empress Chau. After that, he went to the palace with the Empress, always serving by her side. Once she happened to be blessed by the Emperor Chong Trinh, she became pregnant with a dragon race. Unfortunately, after giving birth, she died of bleeding. Emperor Chong Trinh’s harem still had a few other concubines, but because of his low status, he could not personally say goodbye. Most of them chose to commit suicide, following the Chong Trinh Emperor. In the face of the threat of dehydration, the weak women showed their last resilience, taking their own lives to express the last resistance, truly making people feel.

Strangely, the ancient emperor’s robes were forbidden to be washed with water. Usually, clothes worn for a long time without washing will have a bad smell and give a feeling of not being clean. Moreover, the long robe is the emperor’s daily wear, why is it forbidden to wash it? In the king’s palace, most of the costumes from kings to concubines use embroidery and weaving methods. The emperor’s robes are always made of the finest silk, woven into the finest fabrics. Legend has it that the clothes of the emperor and queen were also embroidered with real gold, dyed with a certain amount of gold to shine. The dragon robe is embroidered from the highest quality silk, embroidered with real gold thread, very elaborately. Photo: Sohu The minus point in this embroidery method lies in the fact that the type of silk as well as the type of embroidery thread with gold thread makes the dragon robe very special. Once touched with water, the silk thread and gold thread will be washed away and completely lose its luster, no longer as bright and brilliant as before. Therefore, long robes will never be allowed to be washed with water. Instead, they will use aromatherapy. This is the simplest way to deodorize dragon cells. However, the emperor did not always like to wear perfumed clothes. So, when they see a “slightly old” dragon robe, they will… directly leave. Normally, it takes about a year to complete a dragon robe. In the palace, there were usually more than 2,000 slaves who did nothing but weave dragon robes for the emperor all year round. Therefore, the number of emperor’s dragon robes was so large that they were thrown away after wearing, but not reused. Although it sounds quite wasteful, in fact, wearing a dragon robe is also a kind of ritual. When welcoming kings or emissaries of other countries, a king’s long robe also contributes to showing the cultural – economic – educational level of the whole country. Therefore, the investment in dragon robes is extremely worthwhile even though it is a huge amount of money.

Curiously, the ancient emperor’s robes were forbidden to wash with water. Often times, clothes worn long without washing will have a bad smell and leave a feeling of uncleanness. Furthermore, dragon robes are the clothes the emperor wears every day, why ban washing? In the king’s palace, most of the costumes from kings to concubines used embroidery and weaving methods. The emperor’s camellia always used the finest silk, weaving the finest fabric. Legend has it that the clothes of the emperor and the queen are also used with real gold embroidery thread, dyed with a certain amount of gold to shine splendidly. Dragon plan is embroidered from the highest quality silk, embroidered only with real gold thread, extremely sophisticated. Photo: Sohu The minus point in this embroidery method lies in the type of silk as well as the type of thread embroidered with gold thread weaved so that the dragon is very special. Once touching the water, the silk thread and the golden thread will be washed away and completely lost their luster, no longer as bright and brilliant as before. Therefore, uncoated tunic will never be allowed to wash with water. Instead, they will use aromatherapy. This is the simplest way to deodorize the camellia. However, the emperor did not always like to wear aromatherapy. Therefore, when they see a “slightly old” dragonfly, they will… walk away directly. Usually, it takes about a year to complete a dragon plan. In the palace there are often more than 2,000 slaves who do nothing but weave dragonflies all year round for the emperor. So, The emperor’s number of dragonflies was so great that it would be worn off immediately, but not reused. Although it sounds quite wasteful, in reality, wearing a dragon dress is also a kind of ritual. When receiving kings or envoys from other countries, a king’s dragonfly also contributes to the cultural – economic – educational level of the entire country. Therefore, the investment in dragon cells is extremely worthy even though it is a very huge amount of money.
