Chapter 18 romantic regal love is a loss

Since your farewell, my thoughts of you are like wind shadows, daytime candles, cold grass, setting sun, night candles, and barberry leaves.Like all visible and sensible day scenes and evening thoughts.Your departure has deprived me of all interest in life. "From the King's Outcome" is an old Yuefu title, and the title is taken from the poem "Si Si" by Xu Gan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The third chapter of "Room Thoughts" says: "Since the king came out, the bright mirror has been darkened. Thinking about the king is like flowing water, and there is no end to it."

From the Six Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, there were many imitated authors, such as Liu Yu, Liu Yigong, and Yan Shibo in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, Chen Houzhu in the Chen Dynasty, and Chen Shuda in the Sui Dynasty. Not only the title is taken from Xu's poems, but also the techniques are imitated from Xu's poems. The author of the above poem is Chen Shubao, the descendant of the Chen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, a king of subjugation. The wind and sand of time slowly swept and submerged.Among those who are drowned, not only the worthless, but also the nobles.

The lonely emperor's tombs are scattered in many corners of the city, dark, bright, complete, and incomplete... In any case, the prosperity and pain of the past are in full swing, and the glory of the past has been lost. Maybe every man has an emperor's dream in his heart, which is a dream about life at the peak of the world.Give and take, and envoy every man and woman on the king's land. However, some men's dreams come true, but they don't love Jiangshan alone. He falls in love with romance. King Edward VIII, who has amazed the whole world, has only been on the throne for 325 days. He left with his commoner American girl and abandoned the throne like sandals.

Legend has it that after the early death of his beloved concubine Dong E, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was also disheartened and resolutely became a monk to accompany the ancient Qingdeng Buddha. If you don't love the country and love beautiful people, at least you have achieved the ultimate in a certain career, such as love. Although you are not a good emperor, you are still an infatuated kind. Even if you can't make the world happy, you can always make a certain woman in the world happy. Unfortunately, there are not many such emperors. Most of them are flawed emperors who dote on beauties without hesitation.

For example, King Zhou You. After the death of King Zhou Xuan, his womb Nirvana succeeded to the throne as King Zhou You.At that time, a major earthquake occurred in the Guanzhong area where Wang Ji of the Zhou family lived, and years of droughts occurred. The people were hungry and cold, and they fled everywhere. King You of Zhou was a faint king. He didn't want to save the Zhou Dynasty from peril, but worked hard to become stronger. Instead, he used his courtier Guo Shifu to exploit the people and intensified class conflicts; He also attacked Xirong and was defeated.The minister named Baoxuan bitterly admonished him, but King You of Zhou not only refused to listen, but imprisoned Baoxuan instead.

Bao Xuan spent three full years in prison. In the past three years, the Baoguo clan tried every means to rescue Baoxuan, and finally they thought of a poisonous plan. They heard that King Zhou You was so beautiful and was ordering to recruit all beauties from all over the world to enter the palace, so they tried their best to buy a very beautiful girl, taught her to sing and dance, and taught her to walk in a catwalk that made people fascinated. After some packaging, they named her Baosi. , Dedicated to King You, atonement for Baoxuan. The poison plan really worked. When King You saw Baosi, he was astonished as a heavenly man, and he couldn't put it down and immediately made her a concubine.

Bao Xuan finally regained his freedom. After King You became proud of his concubine, he blindly lived a licentious and luxurious life. For some reason, no matter how the emperor accommodated her, Bao Si never showed her beauty since entering the palace. Laughing for the Bojia people, King Zhou You exhausted his pituitary gland but failed. King You did not hesitate to offer a reward for advice: Whoever can make Bao Si smile will be rewarded with a thousand taels. There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. At this time, the courtier Guo Shifu thought of a bad idea for King Zhou You: Fenghuo plays the princes.

This is a downright bad idea. The beacon fire was originally an emergency military alarm signal when the enemy invaded in ancient times. From the national capital to the border town fortress, beacon towers are set up all over the way.In the Western Zhou Dynasty, more than 20 beacon towers were built in the Lishan area near Haojing to guard against the intrusion of the dog army, one every few miles. Once the dog soldiers attacked, the first sentinel who found it immediately lit a beacon fire on the platform, and the neighboring beacon towers also lit fires one after another to alert the nearby princes.

When the princes saw the beacon fire, they knew that the capital was in a hurry and the emperor was in trouble, so they had to raise troops to serve the king and come to rescue him. Father Guo Shi offered a plan to light the beacon fire on the beacon tower for no reason, so as to attract the princes to come for a trip in vain, so as to make Baosi laugh. The mediocre Zhou Youwang accepted Father Guo Shi's desperate suggestion, and impatiently took Bao Si with him, and accompanied by Father Guo Shi, he boarded the Beacon Tower on Mount Li. All of a sudden, the flames of war were everywhere, and the flames of war were soaring into the sky. The princes from all over the country came to the police immediately, and hundreds of thousands rushed to rescue him.

Soldiers and horses from all walks of life came to the foot of Lishan Mountain, but there was no sign of Quan Rong. And the debauched sound on the mountain is that Zhou Youwang and Baosi are sitting leisurely on the high platform drinking and having fun. So, King You of Zhou sent someone to tell the princes that it was not a dog military incident, but the king and princess set off fireworks for fun. The princes knew that they were teased by the king and concubine, and they left in surprise. Seeing this, Bao Si finally smiled sweetly. King You of Zhou was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Guoshi's father with a daughter.

In order to further please Baosi, King You of Zhou abolished Queen Shen and Prince Yijiu, made Baosi the queen, Baosi's son Bofu was crowned prince, and ordered the queen's father, Shenhou, to be abolished. cut him. Shen Hou got the news and pre-emptively attacked Haojing in 771 BC, allied with Zen Hou and the soldiers of the Northwest Yi tribe. King You of Zhou panicked when he heard the news of Quanrong's attack, and hurriedly lit a beacon for help. At this time, he tasted the evil results of Fenghuo opera princes: Facing the billowing smoke, the princes who had been molested remained indifferent. However, the defenders of Haojing resented King Zhou You for being fatuous, and were dissatisfied with the generals who often withheld food and pay, so they refused to serve at this time. As soon as the dog soldiers arrived, they pretended to parry for a while, and then scattered like birds and beasts. Dog soldiers and horses swarmed into the city, King You of Zhou took Bao Si and Bo Fu, and fled through the back door in a hurry to Mount Li. On the way, the unwilling King Zhou You ordered to light the beacon fire again. Still no princes came to rescue the soldiers. The dog soldiers pursued closely, King Zhou You's people also fled along the way, and only a hundred or so people fled into the Li Palace. In the end, the dog soldiers who were caught up hacked him to death on the spot, snatched the prince's uncle's clothes from Baosi, and killed him with a knife, and the beautiful Baosi became a prisoner. At this point, the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. Later, the princes who knew the truth came to rescue with a large team. It was too late: Quan Rong looted the treasures gathered by Zhou Chaoshu, set fire to them and left. Later, Shenhou, Luhou, Xu Wengong and others jointly established the original prince Ji Yijiu as the son of heaven, and ascended the throne in Shen in 770 BC as King Ping of Zhou. Because Haojing had been destroyed by the war, and most of the land in the west of the Zhou Dynasty was occupied by dog ​​soldiers, King Ping of Zhou was afraid that Haojing would be lost, so he moved his capital to Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan) under the escort of Qin in 770 BC. The country was established under the assistance, and it was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history. This kind of irrational indulging in "playing with the princes" in order to make the beauties laugh is just a naive part of life for the common people.After patting the railing all over, Chunmeng woke up. It was still lively and lively. For the emperor, it is a fatal loss, like Chen Shubao. The history of Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, is quite similar to that of Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. The last emperor of the same small court had no achievements in politics, but he wrote a poem brilliantly. Chen Shubao "was born in a deep palace, and in the hands of a long-term wife. Since he belonged to the state and died, he didn't know that farming was difficult." In the third year of Emperor Chen Wen's Tianjia (562), Chen Shubao was nine years old. He was established as the son of Prince Ancheng and officially lived a prosperous life.In the fourteenth year of Taijian, Emperor Chen Xuan died, and Chen Shubao ascended to the dragon throne. So far, Chen Shubao has become an extraordinary man - the emperor. Chen Shubao's emperor did nothing new, relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, he couldn't wait to start playing life. At that time, the Chen Dynasty had declined, and most of the land in Sichuan in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the present-day Hubei Province in the middle reaches had already fallen into the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and later the Sui Dynasty. Preparing to search for the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, the Chen Dynasty is on the verge of its demise. As for Chen Shubao, "Because of the weakening, the fate of Zhong's perishment, the punishment and administration were not established, and he was licentious" ("Southern History? Chen Benji"). The king of subjugation, pestering the wonderful woman and concubine to drink and have fun every day, abandoned the government, and accelerated the process of overthrowing the country without hesitation. The imperial concubine Zhang Lihua was the love of Chen Empress Shu Bao who persisted until his death. Miss Zhang was born in a poor family, and her father and brother made a living by weaving straw mats.Concubine Zhang Lihua entered the palace since she was a child and served as the niece of Gong Liangdi, the crown prince. Because of her beauty and intelligence, and her seven-foot hair like a cloud, which makes people upside down, she was accepted as a noble concubine by Chen Houzhu and gave birth to the crown prince Chen Shen. Miss Zhang is very scheming and good at pleasing men, she is very much appreciated by Empress Chen, and she favors the harem like no other for a while. The emperor and the noble concubine are in close relationship, and the Empress Chen often puts Zhang Guifei on her lap to discuss state affairs. The graceful and charming love is widely praised. In 584 A.D. (the second year of Empress Sun Zhide), Empress Chen built three pavilions of Linchun, Jieqi, and Wangxian in front of the Guangguang Hall. The pavilions are several feet high and connect dozens of palace rooms. All made of precious sandalwood. Winding through Xiangman Qili, these three pavilions are luxurious five-star buildings that have never existed since the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Since then, Empress Chen lived in three pavilions with Zhang, Gong and Concubine Kong. In the morning light, the beauties stand at the window and arrange the clouds on the temples, and the emperor personally decals yellow flowers, love is like flowers, and life is like a dream. In the first year of Zhenming (587 A.D.), Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty destroyed Liang Guo first. Soon, 510,000 troops were dispatched, with Yang Guang as the commander, preparing to cross the river to attack Chen. At this juncture, Chen Houzhu neither mobilized troops nor mowed horses. He was at a critical juncture of creation. Finally, at the moment when Sui troops approached the city, he wrote the handed down work "Yushu Houting Flower": Liyu Fanglin faces the high pavilion, the new clothes are gorgeous and quality, and Yinghu Ningjiao doesn't enter at first sight, but greets her with a smile when she comes out of the curtain.The face of the enchantress is like flowers with dew, and the stream of yushu shines on the backyard; the flowers bloom and fall for a long time, and the ground is full of red and returns to silence! Chen Shubao was intoxicated, and he hurriedly selected thousands of court ladies to learn and sing it. This beautiful and decadent sound became the sound of the subjugation of the Chen Dynasty at the right time, and was used as a metaphor for the subjugation of the country by later generations. Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Parking the Qinhuai River" that "a business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings flowers in the backyard across the river". In 588 A.D. (the second year of Zhenming, Empress Sun), Sui soldiers went south to attack Jiankang. The front line was in urgent need of books. Empress Chen was busy with drinking, so he put the emergency letter on Zhang Lihua's bedside and forgot to unseal it. The poet Zong Yuanding of the Qing Dynasty chanted this matter in his poem "Wu Yinqu": "The flowers in the moon garden are heavy every night, and the Sui soldiers have broken the Qu River. There are many records on Lihua lacquer, but I forgot the emergency seal on the bedside." In the early spring, when the Yangtze River was locked, the army of the Sui Dynasty broke through the Yangtze River defense line of the Chen Dynasty in one fell swoop, riding on the dense fog that could not be seen with fingers, and went straight to the royal court of the Chen Dynasty. Empress Chen burst into tears, and then frowned: "Under the sharp edge, I have my own clever plan." Chen Shubao's clever plan was the dry well that was later called "Rouge". At the moment of death, he took Zhang Lihua and Concubine Kong Gui and fled into the ancient well in front of Jingyang Palace. In the end, Shanren's ingenious plan was shattered, and the Sui army found out that the three of them became prisoners together. Marshal Gao Jiong of the Sui Army was angry when he saw it: "The old prince killed Zhou and killed Daji with a mask. How can such a demon concubine be kept?" That is to say, Zhang Lihua was beheaded in Qingxi. Yi Ren was only 30 years old when his soul was scattered, and Chen Houzhu bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister. With the demise of the Chen Dynasty, the last dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, China, which had been divided for more than 270 years, was reunified.Chen Shubao finally died in Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty at the age of fifty-two. It is said that because the mouth of the well was too small, Zhang Lihua's rouge was wiped on the mouth of the well when the princess and concubine squeezed in together. Since then, this well has been called "Rouge Well", and the story of a lost life is even more evocative. Because of indulging in female sex and subjugating the country, it is the man who is wrong. According to records, when Chen Shubao went to Beijing to meet Emperor Sui, Emperor Wen pardoned him for his crimes and gave him a generous gift. Every pre-banquet, I'm afraid it will cause sadness, so I don't play Wu Yin. Unexpectedly, Chen Shubao later asked Emperor Wen: "I don't have a title yet. Every time I go to court, I can't talk to people. I would like to get an official title." This request caused Emperor Wen to sigh from the bottom of his heart: "Chen Shubao has no heart." The prisoner also said that Shubao was drunk every day and rarely woke up. The emperor asked how much to drink, and said to him: "Drink one stone a day with your children." Emperor Wen was shocked and sighed: "Let him go, otherwise how will he live?" Yang Jian criticized Chen Shubao as an emperor, but in Chen Shubao's eyes, writing poems and composing music is his real job, and his interest is all in it. Chen Shubao has indeed made contributions in literature. Most of his existing works are Yuefu poems.Some of these works are quite similar to folk songs, such as this song "From the King". Chen Zuoming, a native of the Qing Dynasty, said that he "can make new ideas";he Good at learning southern folk songs, and can be original and innovative in expressing women's delicate feelings. Chen Shubao's works are seldom selected in historical anthologies, "nonsense because of people". Only Chen Zuoming from the Qing Dynasty selected some of his works in "Selected Ancient Poems of Caishutang", and called them "elegant talent and elegant attitude", and said that the characteristic of his poems is "clear and beautiful".At the same time, he also said that "Chen Houzhu's poems are like Xu Sheng's content, Gu Bu ascends and descends, and modifies everything, looking at it sweetly, but it is not polite." Chen Shubao's poems outside of Yuefu are probably the works he sang with bureaucrats or officials before or after he took the throne.His gatherings with these officials were a bit like "meeting friends through literature" among literati at that time. Such a gathering is the petty bourgeois life that Chen Shubao strives for. And managing the country is just a "side job" that he does occasionally. Therefore, when the Sui army approached the city, the emergency documents were thrown under the bed without opening them; Chen Shubao also completely forgot the basic dignity of an emperor, so when the Sui army entered the palace, he hugged Zhang Guifei and Kong Guifei and hid in the well, so that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty treated the king of a country so disrespectfully. Surprised. Maybe Chen Shubao is not "heartless", he just always regards himself as a romantic talent, a poet and poet, it doesn't matter whether he dies or not. The dignity of the emperor is even more indifferent. Chen Shubao sang in "Yushu's Backyard Flowers": "Yushu's backyard flowers will not bloom for long." The pessimism and the spirit of carpe gratification are meaningful. It's fine for a literati to be like this, but he is the emperor, and it is his job to rule the world.No emperor is willing to subjugate his country, even Chen Shubao. But he couldn't let go of his romance. When he chose warmth, he chose death. "The country is broken, mountains and rivers exist, and the city is full of spring grass and trees", but since the king came out, green grass has grown everywhere. As for Miss Zhang, falling in love with an emperor is like falling in love with a rich man, all the money is gone, and when the wealth is lost, love is also lost. It is sad and shameful to fall in love with a romantic emperor.
