The emperor can't afford contraception naturally, and he is not good at birth. There are about three considerations: first, I am afraid that historians will be accused of immorality by future generations. Although the emperor talked eloquently and killed people, he was always restricted by his ancestors and family laws, recording the blessings of the harem. If you indulge in this, you won't think about it. At the beginning of life, all the notes were "One day you will get the blessing of the palace, and one day you will have a dragon", which seemed to undermine the majesty of the king. Therefore, while the emperor is merciful everywhere, he does not want to sow everywhere; Second, the emperor's personal preferences and "imperial favor" show that there are 3,000 beautiful women in the harem, and no one wants to be spoiled at once. But they are old and afraid that they will only be lonely, so all the concubines try their best to get pregnant and have children in order to have a support. The emperor knows how to control it. Although it is a one-night stand, it also says that whoever is pregnant will not be pregnant. If the emperor doesn't like the princess, or thinks the princess has a plan, he orders the eunuch to have emergency contraception; Third, I am afraid of fighting for power and profit. It is common in history that the father and son brothers in the royal family are the destroyers of the throne. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a change of Xuanwu Gate, and in the Song Dynasty, there was a mystery of the sound of light, shadow and axe. It is because the emperors of past dynasties made certain choices and restrictions on the reproduction of "dragon descendants"
If there are good things in the world, there will be bad things. The emperor has this demand. Cure too much and people who invite pets naturally try their best to trap this folk prescription. Generally speaking, there are the following kinds that go down in history.
Extract essence from acupoints. After the Qing dynasty, the emperor was more cautious about contraception. According to "The Legacy of unofficial history Daguan Qing Palace in Qing Dynasty", after the emperor had sex with his concubine, the eunuch in charge of meeting the bride "knelt down and begged for mercy and said,' Do you want to stay?' If the emperor says not to stay, then' when the manager presses the acupoints of the concubines, the dragon essence will all flow out'; If he leaves, the emperor will be lucky enough to have a princess one day, so he will write it in the book as a proof of pregnancy and call it "Huang Zu Customization". This method of gently pressing the "point on the back of the thigh" of the concubine to make the semen flow out is a remedial measure of "emergency contraception" after sexual intercourse in ancient courts. Due to the lack of detailed records in the related emperor's Ju Ju Zhu, its effect is unknown. However, the princess went through a lot of hardships to get the emperor's blessing, and finally got a "no fake" evaluation, which was heartbreaking.
Belly stickers. The above method of "spermatorrhea through acupoints" can only be said to be the contraceptive method of the Qing emperor. On the other hand, there is another method called "sticking belly" in past dynasties. When musk was put into the navel of concubines, Zhao and Zhao Hede, the most "femme fatale" in the past dynasties, took such contraceptive measures. Putting musk on the navel can complete the pregnancy function of a woman's stomach. Presumably, this kind of "sticking to the belly" has a unique effect, but it has been lost.
Saffron. It has been recorded in historical materials that saffron is the most effective contraceptive secret in the court. If the emperor doesn't like a favored maid-in-waiting, he will ask the eunuch to hang the maid-in-waiting upside down and wash her nakedness with the liquid crushed by saffron. It is said that the semen in a maid-in-waiting can be thoroughly cleaned. This method has existed for five generations. At that time, troubled times were impermanent, horses howled and people were humble. That's why it's available.
Birth control pills. Birth control pills in history are actually a kind of poison, which does great harm to women. The harem women are so desperate, one is confused and unhappy, and the other is poisoned by this contraceptive. So do most prostitutes. The most tragic thing about this medicine is drinking silver. Although the effect is good, it is very harmful to the body. In the palace, a small amount of mercury is put into the tea of concubines or maids who need contraception. This is not directly fatal, but it is also effective. Another popular way is to drink herbal tea, which is also a common way for prostitutes in Goulanwa Temple. "Cold medicine" is a contraceptive soup containing musk. This soup can not only achieve the effect of contraception, but also have the effect of abortion. Cixi was blessed by Xianfeng after entering the palace, and was secretly aborted with musk when she was pregnant for the first time. However, although it is good, long-term drinking can easily lead to lifelong sterilization.
