In the midst of chaos, after fleeing from the palace, to make a living and satisfy lust, the queen mother and her daughter-in-law used the remaining money to open a brothel.
In many movies, the queens and concubines are loyal to the king. However, in fact, some concubines, even queens, dared to “cuckold” the emperor. Empress Dowager Lake is a prime example.
The queen cheated openly in the palace
Empress Hu (later Empress Dowager Hu) was the empress of Northern Qi Emperor Wucheng in Chinese history. The Book of Northern Qi and the Northern History do not specify the real name of Empress Ho, only her origin is in An Dinh district, Gansu province (China). Her father is Ho Dien Chi, mother is Lu Thi, from Pham Duong district.
Empress Lake has a very beautiful beauty.
In the first years of the reign of Emperor Van Tuyen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, thanks to her outstanding beauty, Ho Thi was married to the Bac Te district king, Cao Tram, and became the princess of Truong Quang. In 556, she gave birth to Prince Gao Wei, later the Landlord of Northern Qi and later gave birth to a second son, Cao Nghiem.
4 years later, Cao Dien – Cao Tram’s brother launched a coup and became emperor. But after only a year, Cao Dien became seriously ill and passed away. In 561, Cao Tram won the throne, Ho Thi was crowned empress, Cao Vy’s son was crowned prince.

However, shortly after ascending the throne, Cao Tram raped his sister-in-law Ly To Nga and forced her to give birth to his child. But Ly To Nga was not moved by Cao Tram, this made the emperor extremely angry, so he killed Ly To Nga’s son, also his nephew.
At this time, Ho Thi became the empress, when she saw the brutal actions of her husband, she felt extremely indignant. However, because she had to save the royal face, she had to accept to keep the shocking secret. However, Ho Thi came to the decision to retaliate against Emperor Vu Thanh. Empress Ho chose a man who loved fame and fortune, and was also a confidant of her husband, Hoa Sy Khai, to cheat. Because he wanted to strengthen his position in the court, Hoa Sy Khai was also very happy to be friends with the empress.
Northern Qi Wucheng Emperor ceded the throne to his son to enjoy.
As a man full of ambition, after having Empress Ho as a support, Hoa Sy Khai did not accept the “closer” fate anymore. He immediately advised Emperor Vu Thanh to pass the throne to Ho Thi’s son, crown prince Cao Vy, and then become a supreme emperor to enjoy. The emperor also obeyed and passed the throne to his son Cao Vy, then at the age of eight, to become the Northern Qi Empress.
3 years later, Thai Thuong Hoang and Vu Thanh De died at the age of 33 due to excessive drinking. After that, Cao Vy officially crowned Ho Thi as the Empress Dowager. Ho Thi and Hoa Sy Khai no longer encountered obstacles, so they were more and more free to indulge in insatiable lewdness and freedom in the palace. However, because of offending many people, not long after Ho Sy Khai was assassinated and died. After her lover was killed, unable to stand being alone, Ho Thi had an illicit relationship with Venerable Van Hien at the temple she frequented.
Empress Ho had an illicit relationship with the monk.
She also found another 100 monks to enter the palace, under the pretext of praying for the peace of the country to cover the eyes of the world. Not stopping there, Ho Thi also let two monks posing as nuns stay by her side, she was so blatant that the whole palace knew about it except for her son, Emperor Cao Vy. Once, Cao Vy went to visit Empress Dowager Ho, seeing two beautiful and educated nuns, so he wanted to enlist as concubines. Since then, the story of Ho Thi causing chaos in the palace was discovered. Cao Wei imprisoned his mother and murdered all her lovers.
According to Chinese history books, Cao Zhan – ie Northern Qi Vu Thanh De, the main character of the film – was an insatiable adulteress, spending most of his reign on lavish parties, neglecting politics, making the system The political system of Northern Qi was in decline. However, under the hands of Vu Chinh, Cao Tram (Tran Hieu) in the movie “Luc Trinh Legend” suddenly turned into a hero in the midst of chaos, falling in love with only Luc Trinh (Trieu Le Dinh). ).

Open the famous brothel in the world
Later, Northern Qi was destroyed, Empress Dowager Hu and her daughter-in-law, Empress Mu, were lost in all directions. After selling all the jewelry to live through the day, plus the single bed and pillow for too long, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided to scrape the remaining money, open a brothel to make a living. Thanks to the beautiful palace maids and concubines who always accompany them, their brothel has become a famous place to hang out all over the country.
Empress Dowager Hu and Empress Mu opened a famous brothel everywhere.
The mother and daughter’s business is extremely developed, and the income is immeasurable. Gradually, Empress Dowager Hu felt extremely interested and passionate about this work. She even expressed excitement when she told Empress Mu that: “Looking back now, it is more fun to be a prostitute than to be a queen. In the palace of hundreds of women, there is only one man to serve, but now Now that I’m a bunch of men who have to serve me, to think that this is in accordance with the way of heaven.” Perhaps, this is the “unique” declaration in China’s 5,000-year history.
According to Baidu, later on, there was a very rich salt merchant who wanted to take Empress Mu as his concubine. Because she wanted to return her salary, Empress Mu agreed to follow the merchant. However, the greedy Empress Dowager Hu refused to pay for her daughter-in-law and even forced the merchant to pay for her ransom.
Empress Dowager Hu considered being a prostitute more enjoyable than living in the palace.
After Empress Mu left, business in the brothel was extremely miserable, and Empress Mu did not get better. The merchant knew his wife was terrible, so he did not dare to take her home. However, only two months later, his wife knew how to specialize, so she sent someone to beat her and chase her away.
No place to stay, Empress Mu went to beg and went to Truong An to ask Empress Dowager Ho to return to the old way. Ho Thi died in Truong An after 10 years of being involved in leprosy. History books record that she died due to illness in the year 600. The story of the empress dowager voluntarily opening this brothel to earn a living has been recorded in history and handed down to posterity to this day.
