The Tale of Genji 紫式部 11891Words 2018-03-21
It is said that in the time of the emperor of a certain dynasty, there were many concubines in the harem, and one of them changed clothes. His background was not very noble, but he was especially favored by the emperor.There are a few concubines of noble birth, who are pretentious as soon as they enter the palace, thinking that the favor must be with me: now seeing that this dresser has had good luck, they slander her and envy her.Changing, who is of the same status as her, or whose background is lower than her, knows that she cannot compete, and is full of resentment.This change of clothes served the emperor day and night, and the other concubines were jealous when they saw it.It was probably caused by the accumulation of grievances. Chang Yi became ill, depressed, and often went back to her mother's house to recuperate.The more the emperor was reluctant to part with her, the more he loved her, and he ignored the criticisms of the public and blindly favored her. Such special favors will surely become the subject of future generations.Even the high-ranking officials and aristocrats in the court did not take it seriously. Everyone looked sideways and discussed with each other: "This kind of special favor is really shocking! The Tang Dynasty caused chaos in the world because of such things." The news gradually spread. All over the country, the people complained, thinking that this is a very worrying thing, and it is inevitable that a catastrophe like Concubine Yang will happen in the future.It is extremely painful to be in this situation while changing clothes. It is all thanks to the Lord's deep grace to add blankets and live in the palace tremblingly.

The father who changed clothes was an official in the position of Da Nayan, and had passed away long ago.The mother's wife is also from a famous noble family. Seeing that her daughter has both parents, honor and wealth, she hopes that her daughter will not fall behind.It's a pity that there is no strong protector. In case of an accident, he will be alone and helpless, and his heart will inevitably be desolate. Among the concubines and concubines, the highest status is the imperial concubine, followed by changing clothes, all of whom serve in bed.The second is Shang Shi (who can also serve in bed), Dian Shi, Zhang Shi, Ming Fu and other female officials.Shang Shi is the head of the Internal Servant Division (one of the twelve divisions in the harem), Dian Shi is the second-rank official, and the chief waiter is the third-class official, followed by the life wife.

The central government office at that time was called Taizhengguan.The left minister is the chief of the Taizheng official, followed by the right minister.The Taizheng Minister is above the left and right ministers and is the highest official in the court.Under the left and right ministers, there are Da Nayan, Zhong Nayan, and the prime minister (that is, the counselor).Under Taizhengguan, there are Shaonayan Bureau, Zuobianguan Bureau and Youbianguan Bureau.There are three officials in Shaonayan Bureau, Shaonayan, followed by Geji, and Geji has one old and one young.The Bian officials have one big, middle and young Bian on the left and right.The Zuobian Official Bureau governs the four provinces of Central Affairs, Shibu, Zhibu, and Civil Affairs, and the Right Bienguan Bureau governs the four provinces of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, Dazang, and Imperial Household.Collectively referred to as the eight provinces.Below the province are the various posts and offices, all of which are under the provincial management.The chief of the province is called Qing, the second-level officials are called Daifu and Shaofu, and the third-class officials are called Dacheng and Shaocheng.The senior officials are called Dafu, the second-rank officials are called Liang, and the third-rank officials are called Dajin and Shaojin.The chief of the guard is called the head, the second official is called the assistant, and the third official is called Dayun and Shaoyun.

Dare it be due to fate in previous lives, this change of clothes gave birth to a prince who is as gorgeous as jade and unparalleled in the world.The emperor was eager to see the baby, so he quickly asked someone to carry it into the palace.At first glance, he was indeed an unusually handsome and lovely little prince. According to the system at that time, confinement was done in the natal family as usual. The eldest prince was born to the daughter of the right minister, Honghuidian, and was backed by noble relatives. There is no doubt that he was the Prince of the East Palace loved by everyone.But when it comes to appearance, it can't compare to the handsomeness of this little prince.Therefore, the emperor only cherishes the eldest prince in general, but treats the little prince as his personal secret treasure, and dotes on him infinitely.

The little prince's mother is a dresser. According to her status, she doesn't have to serve the emperor in her daily life like ordinary low-level female officials.She was unusual in her position and noble in character.However, the emperor doted on her too much and was unreasonable. He just wanted her to live by his side and never left her for almost a moment.As a result, whenever there are feasts and other grand gatherings and festivals, the changing of clothes is always called first.Sometimes the emperor got up very late, so he kept the changing clothes with him on that day, and would not let her go back to his palace.Such a day and night wait, in terms of changing clothes, seems to be too rash.After the little prince was born, the emperor paid special attention to changing clothes, which made the eldest prince's mother, Honghuidian, feel suspicious.She thought: This little prince might become a prince.

The female imperial concubine of Honghui Palace was the first to enter the palace, and the emperor attached great importance to her, which was by no means comparable to ordinary concubines.Besides, she has given birth to boys and girls.Therefore, the suspicion of this concubine alone made the emperor feel bored and uneasy. Chang Yi is deeply loved by the emperor, but there are also many people who belittle her and slander her.She is weak and has no support from relatives, so the more the emperor loves her, the more worried she is.The palace where she lives is called Tonghu.From here, to go to the Qingliang Palace where the emperor always lived, he had to pass through the palaces of many concubines.She kept coming and going, and it was only natural that the other concubines felt uncomfortable.Sometimes the Tonghu was changing clothes too frequently, and they would play tricks on her maliciously by putting dirty things on the bridge or in the corridor, so that the dresses of the maids welcoming the Tonghu to change clothes would be dirty.Sometimes they agreed with each other to lock both ends of the corridor that Tonghu had to pass through to change clothes, causing her trouble and embarrassing her.And so on, emerge in endlessly, making Tong Hu painful to change clothes.Seeing this situation, the emperor took pity on her even more, and asked a changer in the Houliang Hall behind the Qingliang Hall to move to another place, vacating a room for Tonghu to change clothes as a rest room when on duty.The changer who moved out was full of resentment.

When the little prince was three years old, he held a dress-wearing ceremony, and the ostentation was no less than that of the eldest prince.All the supplies from the Nei Zang Liao and Na Dian were extracted, and the ceremony was very grand.This also caused all kinds of criticism in the world.When seeing that the little prince has a beautiful appearance and a graceful manner, he is actually a unparalleled beauty, no one can bear to be jealous of him.The well-informed people were surprised when they saw him, stared at him, and sighed: "This fairy-like person will come to the world!"

Banqiao is a bridge from one house to another. In the old days of Japanese clothing, men wore skirts, but now they are only used for dresses.The skirt-wearing ceremony is held when a boy wears a skirt for the first time. In ancient times, it was held at the age of three, and later at the age of five or six.Women also hold this ceremony. Nei Zang Liao is an institution that manages gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and clothing, and belongs to the Ministry of Central Affairs. Na Dian is the place where imperial objects of past dynasties are collected. In the summer of this year, the little prince's mother Tong Hu changed her clothes and felt that she was not in good health, and wanted to beg for leave to go back to her natal family to recuperate, but the emperor never allowed it.In recent years, Chang Yi had been sick frequently, and the emperor was used to it. He said, "You might as well live here for the time being to take care of yourself. Let's see how things go." My God, my body is already very weak.The mother Taijun who changed clothes cried and begged the emperor for leave, and then allowed her to leave the palace.Even at such times, it is necessary to guard against accidents, surprises and humiliation.Therefore, she decided to let the little prince stay in the palace, and changed clothes to quietly exit alone.Forced by the situation, it is inconvenient for the emperor to keep him blindly. Because of his status, he cannot send him out of the palace in person, so he feels unspeakable pain in his heart.Changing clothes was originally a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, but at this time her beauty has faded, and she has mixed feelings in her heart, but she is unable to appeal, and she is only dying.Seeing this situation, the emperor was at a loss, weeping, recounting the past and renewing the oath.But changing clothes can no longer answer, his eyes are absent, his limbs are paralyzed, and he just lies down in a daze.The emperor was in such a panic that he had no choice but to leave the room in a hurry and ordered the chariots and chariots to be prepared, but finally he felt reluctant to part with her, so he walked into the dressing room and refused to allow her to leave the palace.He said to Chang Yi: "I made an oath with you: when the time comes, we must both walk together. Presumably you will not leave me!" The woman was also deeply moved, and intermittently chanted:

"Facing the end of the world, mourning the farewell, nostalgic for the remaining life, and lamenting the poverty of life. I should have known today..." At this point, I was dying, and I wanted to continue, but I felt exhausted and in pain. The emperor wanted to keep her here and watch her symptoms. But the left and right played: "Pray over there. Beginning today, the eminent monks have been invited, and the repentance is scheduled tonight..." They urged the emperor to leave. The emperor had no choice but to allow him to change clothes and leave the palace to go back to his mother's house.

After Tonghu changed clothes and left the palace, the emperor was full of grief and couldn't just go to sleep, but felt that the night was like years and he was worried.The emissary sent to inquire about the disease did not return for a long time, and the emperor kept moaning and sighing.When the envoy arrived at his natal home, he could only hear howling inside, and the family members cried out, "He passed away after midnight!"When the emperor heard this, his heart was cut like a knife, and his mind was in a trance. He just locked himself in a room and sat in meditation. The little prince had lost his mother, and the emperor wanted to keep him by his side.But the prince in mourning clothes stays in front of the imperial court, which is unprecedented, so he has to be allowed to leave his natal home.The little prince was young and ignorant, seeing all the maids crying and his father crying, the child felt strange.The separation of ordinary parents and children is already a sad thing, not to mention the separation of life and death!

Grief also has a limit, and finally had to be cremated according to the funeral.Taijun was reluctant to let go, weeping and wailing: "Let me and my daughter turn into dust together!" She squeezed forward, took the car of the funeral maids, and came to the crematorium of Atago together, where a solemn ceremony was being held. .How sad the Taijun arrived at his place!She said it reasonably: "Looking at the remains, I always think that she is still alive, and I don't want to believe that she is dead; until I see her turned into ashes, I am sure that she is not a person of this world." However, crying almost never fell off the car.All the maids hurriedly came to support and persuaded her in every possible way, and they said: "I was worried that it would get to this point." The palace sent imperial envoys.Announcing the imperial decree: three posthumous gifts.This reading aroused new sorrows.The emperor recalled that Chang Yi was finally not promoted to female royal when he was alive, and felt extremely sorry.He now wants her to be promoted to a higher level, so he chases after her.This posthumous title has aroused the resentment and jealousy of many people.However, those who know and understand think that this Tonghu dresser has a handsome appearance, elegant and lovely, attitude and temperament, and is amiable, which is indeed beyond reproach.It was only because the emperor loved her so much in the past that she was hated by others.Now that she has died unfortunately, the female officials around the emperor recalled her superior character and kind heart, and everyone felt sorry for her. "Hateful in life, lovely after death." This ancient song must have been published for such a situation. Rank is a sign of the rank of the Japanese imperial court officials. There are 30 ranks from one to eight (the lowest rank), each of which is divided into positive and subordinate, and below four ranks are divided into superior and inferior.There are three titles for female royals, and four titles for dressers.Three posthumous gifts, that is, posthumous titles as female royals. Time flies, after the death of Tonghu Changyi, every time there is a funeral ceremony, the emperor will send people to mourn and comfort him generously.Although the situation has changed, the emperor's grief has not diminished and he cannot be dismissed.He never summoned other concubines to sleep with him, but just washed his face with tears day and night.Seeing this scene, the people around the emperor also sighed sadly and cried to Qiu Guang.Only the Queen of Honghui Palace and others still refuse to forgive Tonghu to change clothes, saying: "Being a ghost and teaching people to be uneasy, this kind of favor is really incredible!" Concerned about the little prince, from time to time, he sent his trusted female officials and wet nurses to his natal family to inquire about the situation of the little prince. One evening in late autumn, when the new wind suddenly picked up, I suddenly felt the cold invade my skin.The emperor thought about the past and felt very sad, so he sent his tenacious wife to ask questions at his natal family.The wife boarded the car on a moonlit night.The emperor lingered and looked at the moon, remembering his past: in the past, every morning and evening, there must be a string and bamboo orchestra.At that time, the changer sometimes played the piano, and the crisp sound was refreshing; sometimes he recited poems, which were melodious and very loud.Her voice and smile are now phantoms, appearing indistinctly from time to time.However, even if the phantom is thick, it cannot match the reality of a moment! The tenacious wife arrived at her grandmother's house. As soon as the car entered the door, she saw that the scene was extremely bleak.This house used to be the residence of the widow. In order to raise this precious daughter, it was slightly decorated to maintain a certain decency.But now the widow mourns for her dead daughter every day, and has no intention of governing, so the garden is barren and the flowers and trees are withered.Coupled with the cold wind at this time, it seemed even more desolate and desolate.There is only one round of autumn moon, which can't be covered by the lush weeds, but it still shines brightly. The military attache in Jingzhong has left and right guards, left and right guards, and left and right guards, which are collectively called Liuweifu.The guards are responsible for guarding the gates of the imperial palace. The chiefs of the left and right guards are called generals, the second officials are called lieutenant generals and major generals, and the third-ranking officials are called generals.The fourth official is called General Cao.The left and right guard generals, lieutenant generals, etc., are abbreviated as left near generals, right near lieutenant generals, right generals, left lieutenant generals, etc.Lieutenant General and Major General are also known as Zuo and Zhuo.The Weimon Mansion is responsible for guarding the gates of the imperial palace. The chiefs of the left and right Weimen Mansions are called governors, the second officials are called Zuo and Quan Zuo, and the third-ranking officials are called captains and second lieutenants.The Weimen Mansion is also called Renzhao Division, and its assistant and Wei are called Renzhao Zuo and Renzhao Wei.The Imperial Palace is responsible for guarding the gates of the imperial palace and patrolling the capital.Its official name is the same as that of Weimon House. At that time, the lower-level female officials in the palace or the maids of noble families were all called by their father or husband's official name. The main house in the palace-style residence of the nobles at that time was also called the main hall. The married woman got off at the south of the main hall.When the Taijun received him, he felt sad for a moment, choked up and couldn't speak, and finally opened his mouth: "I am living on my last breath, I am really a miserable person. I am a shameful holy family, I have worked hard to offend the frost and dew, and I am very ashamed to come to Pengmen!" "After that, tears fell like rain.The life-wife replied: "The former Ridian attendant came here and returned to the palace to play again. He said that the scene here is sad and miserable. It makes people feel heartbroken. I am a stubborn and ignorant person. Seeing this situation today, I feel very sad!" She hesitated for a moment, Convey the imperial decree: "Long live God said:' At that time, I only said that I was dreaming, and I was always fascinated. Later, I gradually calmed down, but I couldn't teach the dream to wake up. I don’t know if this trip is possible? I still miss the little prince, and it’s very pitiful to teach him to live in lamentation and crying. Please bring him here as soon as possible.” When the Long Live Lord said these words, he swallowed tears intermittently; I was also afraid that others would laugh at him for being cowardly, and dared not speak out loudly. This expression was really hard for others to see. So I withdrew before he finished speaking." After finishing speaking, he was about to present the emperor's handwritten letter, and the Taijun said: "Crying tears Too much, my eyes are dim, and now I am favored to give you a letter, and my eyes will be brighter." So I opened the book and read: "Recently, as the sun and the moon pass by, the sadness gradually decreases. Unexpectedly, the more time passes, the more sadness increases. This is really helpless! How is the child recently? I am thinking about it. It is a pity that I cannot be raised with the prince. Please, please Regard this son as the memory of the deceased, and enter the palace together." In addition, various details are written.The letter does not include a poem: "The cold dew and the windy night, the deep palace is full of tears. The remote pity for the desolate, the grass is too lonely." Before Taijun finished reading, he was already crying.Later he replied: "My concubine is old and not dead, so I deserve to suffer. Now I am ashamed to face the pine tree; let alone the nine-fold palace, how dare I look up? I am deeply moved by the blessings of the Holy Grace. But the concubine herself is inconvenient to enter the palace. I have a feeling: the little prince is still young, and I don’t know why he is so enlightened. Recently, he misses his father all the time, and is eager to enter the palace. This is the true love in the world, and it is deeply worthy of pity.——I hope this matter will be played on my behalf. Concubine Fate, this place is an unlucky place, it is not suitable for the little prince to stay here for a long time..." The pine tree is often used as a symbol of longevity, so it is said. At this time, the little prince was asleep.The life-wife reported: "I should pay a visit to the little prince and repeat the details. But the Lord Long Live is only waiting for the reply, so it is inconvenient to return late." She was eager to leave.Taijun said: "Recently mourning the deceased daughter, I feel depressed and miserable; I really want to talk to my confidantes so that I can express my sorrows a little bit. Please visit me often in my spare time. I am very much looking forward to it. Thinking back Every time we met in the past year, it was just for celebration. This time we met to pass on this sad letter, and it was not what I expected. It was because of the poor life of my concubine that I suffered this kind of misfortune. When the deceased daughter was first born, The foolish couple placed high hopes on this woman, hoping that this woman would bring glory to the family. When her late husband Danayan was dying, he repeatedly urged: "This woman's wish to enter the palace must be fulfilled, and don't lose your vigor because of my death." I also I thought: If the family has no strength to help others, it is bound to suffer all kinds of misfortunes after entering the palace. Just because I couldn't bear to violate the will, I let her enter the palace. Unexpectedly, after entering the servant, the Lord Hemeng was overly favored and sympathetic in every possible way. The deceased daughter I also dare not endure all kinds of inhuman insults from others, and deal with the concubines. Unexpectedly, the jealousy and hatred of my peers accumulated over time, and the painful things are hard to describe. Worry can hurt people, and finally died tragically. In the past The deep kindness and love have become the cause of resentment. ——Oh, this is just the nonsense of my sad widowed mother." Before the Taijun finished speaking, he felt sad for a while, and couldn't cry.It was late at night. The lifewife replied: "It's not nonsense, Long Live Lord thinks so too. He said: 'I really love her, but why is it so excessive that it is amazing? This is destined to not last long. Now that I think about it, I The oath with her turned out to be a bad karma! I am confident that I have never done anything to attract resentment. Just because of this person, I aroused a lot of resentment for no reason, and in the end I was left alone. , became a fool. This must be the wrong of the previous life.' He repeated the statement, but the tears never dried up." Her words were rambling, and it was difficult to describe. Later, the woman told her with tears in her eyes: "The night is very deep. I must return to the palace to play again within tonight." She hurriedly prepared to leave. At that time, the cold moon was setting in the west, and the night sky was like water; Grass and insects chirped, making people cry.The woman who ordered this scene was nostalgic and couldn't bear to go away, so she chanted a poem: "Even if I cry with the autumn insects, the tears are still not dry after crying for a long night." After Yin Bi, he still had no intention of boarding the car.Taijun answered the poem and ordered the maid to tell: "The sound of crying is like a place where insects cry, and it makes the palace people cry." Please also play this word of resentment on your behalf. "This time, it is not appropriate to use a witty gift to reward the wife. The Taijun gave the deceased a set of clothes and combs to the wife as a souvenir. These things seem to be left behind for this purpose. . The young maids who accompanied the little prince here were all sad, needless to say.They are used to seeing the bustling scene in the palace, and feel that this place is very desolate.They imagined the emperor's grief and sympathized very much, so they advised the prince to send the little prince into the palace as soon as possible.The Taijun thinks that he is unclean, if he enters the palace with the little prince, there will be a lot of criticism from the outside world.And if you don't see this little prince, even for a while, you will feel uneasy.Therefore, the matter of the little prince entering the palace could not be implemented decisively for a while. When the ordered woman returned to the palace, she felt very pitiful when she saw that the emperor hadn't gone to bed yet.At this time, autumn flowers and grasses in the courtyard of Qingliang Hall are in full bloom.The emperor pretended to be admiring, and led four or five gentle ladies, chatting quietly for entertainment.Recently, what the emperor reads morning and night is the picture book.This was painted by a painter ordered by Emperor Uta in the past, including Waka and Chinese poems written by the famous poet Ise Kazuki.Daily conversations are also such topics. Ise, surnamed Fujiwara, was a famous female singer in the 10th century, one of the thirty-six singers, and the author of "Ise Collection". Guanzhi's surname was Ji, and he was also a famous poet in the middle of the 10th century. He once compiled the "Ancient and Modern Waka Collection" with Ji Youze, Fan Henei Gongheng, and Misheng Zhongcen. Waka is Japanese poetry. At this time, when he saw his wife returning to the palace, he asked Tonghu carefully about the situation of her natal family.The fateful woman quietly heard about the tragic scene she was about to see.The emperor read the Taijun's reply book, but saw that it said: "The commentary on the brocade is humiliated, sincere and fearful, and there is almost no place to stay. When I read the Wen Yu, I was filled with sorrow and emotion, and my heart was dazzled. Jiayin is withered and the wind is strong, and the pity for the grass is unbearable. " There are gaffes in this poem, which I think are caused by extreme sorrow and confusion, and the emperor does not see the crime.The emperor didn't want people to see sadness, so he tried his best to bear it, but finally couldn't bear it.He vividly recalled the thousand kinds of flair and love when he first saw him changing clothes.At that time, I couldn't bear to part for a moment.Now I am alone and lonely, and I feel so pitiful.He said: "The Taijun didn't want to violate the will of the old Da Nayan, so you sent my daughter into the palace. In order to thank you for this kindness, I should have given you preferential treatment, but I didn't implement it. Now that there are no piano tools, it is useless to talk about it! "He felt very sorry.Then he said, "Nevertheless, Chang Yi has already given birth to the little prince. When he grows up, the old lady will surely enjoy a blessed day. I hope she will live a long and healthy life." The life-wife then presented the gift from the Taijun to the imperial court.The emperor looked at it and thought: "If this is the evidence that the Taoist priests in Linqiong found out the place of the dead and brought back the silver alloy hairpin..." But it is in vain to think about it.Then he chanted a poem: "May you become a guest of Hongdu, and find the residence of Xianghun." Jiayin is likened to the deceased changing clothes, and Xiaocao is likened to the little prince.It means: the trees sheltering from the wind are dead, and the grass under the trees has lost its protector.Here, the little prince's father, the emperor, is despised, so it is a slip of the tongue. See Bai Juyi. The emperor looked at the painting album and felt that although Yang Guifei's face in the painting was done by a famous painter, his brushwork was limited and lacked interest in life.It is said in the poem that the face and eyebrows of the noble concubine are like "Taiye Furong Weiyang Liu". Although the comparison is accurate, the Tang Dynasty costumes are also elegant and elegant. Nothing compares to the sound.In the past, when we got along day and night, we used to say "I wish to be a lovebird in the sky, and I wish to be a Lianli branch in the earth", and we made an oath together.Now it's all gone in vain.Such is the destiny, endless hatred!At this time, the emperor heard the whistling wind and insects, and felt that it was all sad.But the maid of Honghui Palace didn't visit the emperor's residence for a long time, but she just played the string and bamboo orchestra in the middle of the night to enjoy the moonlight.The emperor was very unhappy when he heard this, and found it harsh and unpleasant.The courtiers and female officials who had witnessed the emperor's recent mourning, heard the sound of playing music, and they all expressed injustice from others.This Honghui Palace female Yuyuan is a very stubborn and ruthless person, and she doesn't take the emperor's affairs to heart, so she pretended to do this.The moon was sinking.The emperor's immediate mouth accounted for: "The moon on the wall of the Palace of Desire, crying so much tears and eyes dimming. In the remote and desolate mansion, how can we see the light!" He missed Tonghu's changing clothes at his mother's house, picked up all the lamps, sat and meditated all night, and was too lazy to sleep.Hearing the call of the right guard officer who was watching the night, he knew that it was already ugly time.Afraid of sitting too long and attracting attention, he got up and went to bed, but it was difficult to fall asleep.Get up the next morning.Recalling the previous scene of "bead curtains and brocade tents without knowing the dawn", I am so sad that I don't bother to deal with the government affairs.The emperor didn't eat or drink: the breakfast meal was barely served, just in response to his name; the official imperial meal has long been abolished.All those who waited on the royal table sighed with sorrow when they saw this scene.All the close courtiers, men and women, were very anxious, and sighed: "There is really no way!" They discussed privately: "The emperor and this Tonghu changing clothes must have a predestined relationship in the previous life. When Changing clothes was alive, thousands of people ridiculed Resentment, the emperor ignored it. All matters related to changing clothes are blindly favoritism and unreasonable. Now that changing clothes is dead, he sighs every day and ignores the government. This is really absurd!" They quoted Tang Xuanzong and other foreign courts came to discuss in a low voice and sigh quietly. See Bai Juyi. The hall masters are the nobles who are allowed to go to the hall. Night watch in the palace, from Haishi (ten o'clock) the left guard officer is on duty, and from ugly time (two o'clock) the right guard officer is on duty.Each person on duty rolls their names. See "Ise Collection · Song Tingzi Dean Henge Screen".The next sentence is "Who knows in dreams if there is a long-lasting hatred". After some time, the little prince returned to the palace.This child looks more and more beautiful, and he does not look like a human being in the world, so the emperor loves him very much.In the spring of the following year, it was time to establish a crown prince, and the emperor thought of making this little prince a crown prince.However, this little prince does not have any noble relatives to back him up; abolishing the elders and establishing the young is something that the world cannot approve of, and I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the little prince.Therefore, he finally dismissed this idea, and without showing any signs of expression, he actually made the eldest prince the crown prince.So everyone in the world said: "The little prince who loves so much finally does not become a prince. After all, there is a sense of proportion in the world!" The eldest prince's mother, the maid of Honghui Palace, was also relieved. Since the death of her daughter, the little prince's grandmother has been sad and unable to comfort herself.She prayed to the Buddha, hoping to be reborn in the land where her daughter is at an early date.Soon, Guomeng Foli was added and led her back to the west.The emperor felt infinitely sad about this.At this time, the little prince was only six years old, and he already understood human feelings. He mourned the death of his grandmother and wept all he could.The grandmother has been very close to this grandson for many years, and she was reluctant to say goodbye to him. When she was dying, she mentioned it repeatedly, which was very sad.From then on, the little prince often lived in the palace. The little prince began to study at the age of seven, intelligent and enlightened, unparalleled in the world.The emperor felt worried when he saw that he was too sensitive.He said: "No one will hate him now. He has no mother. For this reason, everyone should love him." When the emperor came to Honghui Hall, he often took him with him and let him walk into the curtain. .The little prince was so cute that even a martial artist or an enemy would have to smile when he saw his posture.Therefore, the Queen of Honghui Palace did not want to abandon him.In addition to the eldest prince, this Honghui palace female royal gave birth to two other imperial daughters, but neither of them was as beautiful as the little prince in appearance.The other female imperial guards and changing clothes also did not avoid suspicion when they met the little prince.Everyone thought: such a charming, charming and shy posture at such a young age, he is really a very amiable game partner who must be treated with caution.Needless to say, he is proficient in all kinds of knowledge that are required to study, even the qin and flute, and the clear sound resounds through the sky.If this little prince's versatility is listed one by one, it would be like lying, and it would be unbelievable. At this time, North Korea sent envoys to the pilgrimage, and one of them was a brilliant fortune teller.When the emperor heard the news, he wanted to summon the fortune teller and teach him to look for the little prince.But Emperor Uta set a ban: foreigners are not allowed to enter the palace.He had no choice but to quietly send the little prince to visit the fortune teller at the Honglu Hall for foreign guests.A courtier who lives in You Dabian is the protector of the little prince. The emperor asked the little prince to pretend to be the son of You Dabian and go together.The fortune-teller saw the little prince's appearance, he was very surprised, he turned his head several times to look at the face carefully, he was very surprised.Later he said: "According to the appearance of this son, he should be the king of a country and ascend to the supreme position. However, if this is the case, I am afraid that the country will be in chaos and he will encounter danger. If he is the pillar of the imperial court and assists the world's politics, what about it? Then it doesn't match your appearance." This You Dabian was originally a talented doctor, and he was very interested in talking with this fortune teller.The two chanted poems and compositions, and gave each other gifts and answers.The fortune teller will leave and return home today.He was very happy to meet such an extraordinary person this time; now that he was about to part, he felt very sad.He wrote many beautiful poems chanting his mood, and presented them to the little prince.The little prince also recited a very lovely poem in return.The fortune-teller read the little prince's poems, praised them greatly, and presented various precious gifts.The imperial court also rewarded this fortune teller heavily.Although this matter is kept secret, the world has already heard about it.When the prince's grandfather, You Minister, and others heard about this, they were deeply afraid that the emperor would have the intention to change the prince, and suddenly became suspicious. The emperor is very wise.He believed in Japanese physiognomy, and seeing the little prince's appearance, he had already made up his mind, so he never made him a prince.Now that he saw that the words of the Korean fortune teller were in line with his own opinion, he felt that this person was really wise, so he made up his mind: "I will not let him become a Wupin Prince without the support of his foreign relatives, lest he live a rough life. I It may be a few years in office. I might as well let him be a minister and teach him to assist the court. It is also a good idea to plan for his future." From then on, he was taught to study various knowledge about this way.After the little prince studied knowledge, his talent became even more radiant.It's a pity to teach this person to be a subordinate.However, if you make him a prince, it will inevitably lead to the suspicion of the world, which will be disadvantageous.Then teach people who are proficient in numerology to calculate, and they have the same opinion.So the emperor demoted the little prince to a subject and gave him the surname Yuanshi. Time flies, but the emperor misses his late Tonghu and changes clothes, there is no time or time.Sometimes, to dispel sorrows and boredom, I also summoned some famous beauties.However, none of them liked it, and felt that it was really hard to find someone like Tonghu Changyi in the world.Since then, he has alienated women and has no intention of consulting.One day, a servant Dian, who served the emperor, mentioned that the fourth princess of the former emperor was beautiful and had a high reputation;This Dian servant used to serve the first emperor, and was also very close to the queen mother. He often went in and out of the palace and saw the four princesses grow into adults; now he often glimpses their appearances.The servant said: "The concubine has served in the palace for three generations, and I have never seen anyone similar to the Tonghu empress. Only since the four princesses grew up, they have resembled the Tonghu empress. It is really the beauty of the country and the city." The emperor. Hearing the words, he thought: "Could it be that there is such a person?" To be merciful, he humbly offered generous gifts and persuaded the four princesses to enter the palace. The rank of the prince is from the first rank to the fourth rank, and the rank below the fourth rank is called the prince without rank.When he was a prince in childhood, it was stipulated that he was a rankless prince, and his status was very low. The relationship between the former emperor and the emperor is unknown.Or if they are the emperor's cousins ​​or uncles, then the four princesses are the emperor's nieces or cousins. The queen mother thought: "Oh, this is really scary! The maid of the Honghui Palace is too cruel-hearted, and Tonghu was clearly tortured to death by her when she changed clothes. The lessons learned from the past are really chilling!" She thought about it, hesitated, The matter did not go well in the end.Unexpectedly, during this period, the queen mother fell ill and died, and the four princesses became lonely.The emperor sincerely sent people to ask questions and said to her family: "Teach her to enter the palace, I will treat her as a child." It is better to let her enter the palace, and I can feel relieved." He sent the fourth princess into the palace.She lives in the Barnacle Courtyard, so she is called the Barnacle Girl. The emperor summoned the barnacle female imperial concubine, and felt that this person's appearance was very elegant, very similar to the late Tonghu changing clothes.Moreover, she has a noble status and is admired by the world, so other concubines have nothing to criticize her.Therefore, after the barnacle girl entered the palace, everything went well.The late Tonghu Changyi came from a humble background and was despised by others, yet his favor was extremely deep.Although the emperor's admiration for her has not diminished now, but the love is naturally transferred to the barnacle female imperial guard, and he feels very happy.This is also the normal state of the world, and it is deeply regrettable. Genji always stays around the emperor, so the concubines who serve the emperor do not avoid him.The concubines all think that their beauty is not to be outdone by others, but in fact they are indeed charming and slim, each in his own way.However, they are all older and have an old-fashioned attitude; only this barnacle maiden is the youngest and the most beautiful, and she often shyly avoids seeing Mr. Genji.But the young master went in and out of the palace day and night, so naturally he often got a glimpse of his beauty.When his mother, Tong Hu, changed clothes and passed away, the son was only three years old, so of course he couldn't even remember his face.However, I heard from the waiter that this barnacle female royal looks exactly like her mother, and the young son fell in love with her deeply, so she often got close to her stepmother.The emperor loved these two infinitely, and often said to the barnacle maid: "Don't alienate this child. You are very similar to his mother. He is close to you. Don't think it's rude. Love him a lot. His mother's voice The smile looks very much like you, so naturally he also looks like you. As a mother and son, there is nothing incommensurate between you two." Hearing this, Mr. Genji felt joyful in his childlike innocence. Often get close to the barnacle female royal and express her admiration for her.The Queen of Honghui Palace and the Queen of Barnacles also couldn't get along, so she aroused her old hatred for Master Genji again, and she didn't like him anymore. The emperor often said that the barnacle girl was famous all over the world, and regarded her as an unparalleled beauty.But Mr. Genji's appearance is more radiant and beautiful than her, so the world calls him "Mr. Guanghua" (Guangjun).The barnacle girl and the son of Genji are both favored by the emperor, so the world calls her "Concubine Zhaoyang". Mr. Genji dressed as a boy, delicate and lovely, it is a pity to modify it.But at the age of twelve, as usual, a crown ceremony must be held and changed into adult attire.In order to hold this ceremony, the emperor worried day and night, directing himself.In addition to the routine system, various ostentations are added, and the scale is very grand.Back then, the crown prince's crowning ceremony was held in Zichen Hall, which was very grand; this time, the crowning ceremony of Genji's son should be no less than that one.The banquets in various places have always been handled by the inner Tibetan house and the barn yard as official business.But the emperor was afraid that they would not do it well, so he issued a special decree, ordering it to be perfect.In the east chamber of the Qingliang Hall where the emperor often lives, the emperor's jade seat is set facing east, and in front of the jade seat are the seats of the crowned Genji and the crowned ministers. Mr. Genji went to the hall in Shenshi.His childish hair is combed into a 'general angle', separated left and right, and tied into a double bun next to his ears, which is delicate and lovely.It's a pity to ask him to change into adult attire now!The matter of hair cutting is carried out by the Minister of Great Cang.I really can't bear to cut this black silk hair short.At this time, the emperor remembered his mother Tonghu changing clothes again.He thought: If I change clothes and see this scene, I don't know how to feel.There was a burst of sadness, almost tears, and it was easy to bear it. After the Crown Prince was crowned, Genji went to the rest room, changed into adult attire, and then went to the hall to worship and dance to the emperor.Seeing this scene, the viewers were all in admiration and wept.When the emperor saw it, he was even more moved and couldn't bear it.The sorrows of the past, sometimes forgotten these days, now come to my mind again.This time he was crowned, he was very worried, for fear that the innocent demeanor of Mr. Genji would be diminished due to the modification.Unexpectedly, after refitting, it is even more handsome and lovely. 当时男童十一岁至十六岁时,为表示转变为成年人,举行改装、结发、加冠的仪式。称为冠礼。 紫宸殿为当时皇宫的正殿,又称南殿。 谷仓院是保管京畿诸国的纳贡品和无主官田、没收官田等收获物的官库。 本书原文中人物大都无专名词,后人为便于阅读起见,根据各回题名或诗文内容给某些人物取名。葵姬即其一例。 加冠由左大臣执行。这左大臣的夫人是皇女,所生女儿只有一人,称为葵姬。皇太子爱慕此葵姬,意欲聘娶,左大臣迁延未许,只因早已有心将此女嫁与源氏公子。他曾将此意奏闻。皇上想道:“这孩子加冠之后,本来缺少外戚后援人。他既有此心,我就此玉成其事,教她侍寝吧。”曾催促左大臣早作准备。左大臣正好也盼望早成。 礼毕,众人退出,赴侍所,大开琼筵。源氏公子在诸亲王末座就席。左大臣在席上隐约提及葵姬之事。公子年事尚幼,腼腆含羞,默默不答。不久内侍宣旨,召左大臣参见。左大臣入内见驾。御前诸命妇便将加冠犒赏品赐与左大臣:照例是白色大褂一件、衣衫一套。又赐酒一杯。其时皇上吟道: “童发今承亲手束,合欢双带绾成无?” 诗中暗示结缡之意,左大臣不胜惊喜,立即奉和: “朱丝已绾同心结,但愿深红永不消。” 他就步下长阶,走到庭中,拜舞答谢。皇上又命赏赐左大臣左马寮御马一匹、藏人所鹰一头。其他公卿王侯,也都罗列阶前,各依身分拜领赏赐。这一天冠者呈献的肴馔点心,有的装匣,有的装筐,概由右大弁受命调制。此外赐与众人的屯食,以及犒赏诸官员的装在古式柜子里的礼品,陈列满前,途几为塞,比皇太子加冠时更为丰富。这仪式真是盛大之极。 宫中惯例,皇太子、皇子加冠之夜人由公卿之女侍寝,行婚礼。 帝王公卿家中执掌家务之所。 宫中设左右马寮,掌管有关饲养马匹之事。 藏人所是供奉天皇起居、掌管任命仪式、节会等宫中大小杂事之所。 屯食是古代宫中及贵族飨宴时赏赐下僚吃的糯米饭团。 是晚源氏公子即赴左大臣邸宅招亲。结婚仪式之隆重,又是世间无比的。左大臣看看这女婿,的确娇小玲珑,俊秀可爱。葵姬比新郎年纪略长,似觉稍不相称,心中难以为情。 按当时风习,除天皇、皇太子外,男子结婚一般都去女家。婚后女子仍居娘家,男子前往住宿。适当时期后,新夫妇另居他处,或将妻子迎至丈夫邸内。 这位左大臣乃皇上所信任之人,且夫人是皇上的同胞妹妹,放在任何方面,都已高贵无比。今又招源氏公子为婿,声势更加显赫了。右大臣是皇太子的外祖父,将来可能独揽朝纲。可是现在相形见绌,势难匹敌了。左大臣姬妾众多,子女成群。正夫人所生的还有一位公子,现任藏人少将之职,长得非常秀美,是个少年英俊。右大臣本来与左大臣不睦,然而看中这位藏人少将,竟把自己所钟爱的第四位女公子嫁给了他。右大臣的重视藏人少将,不亚于左大臣的重视源氏公子。这真是世间无独有偶的两对翁婿! 源氏公子常被皇上宣召,不离左右,因此无暇去妻子家里。他心中一味认为藤壶女御的美貌盖世无双。他想:“我能和这样的一个人结婚才好。这真是世间少有的美人啊!”葵姬原也是左大臣的掌上明珠,而且娇艳可爱,但与源氏公子性情总不投合。少年人是专心一志的,源氏公子这秘密的恋爱真是苦不堪言。加冠成人之后,不能再象儿童时代那样穿帘入幕,只能在作乐之时,隔帘吹笛,和着帘内的琴声,借以传达恋慕之情。有时隐约听到帘内藤壶妃子的娇声,聊觉慰情。因此源氏公子一味喜欢住在宫中。大约在宫中住了五六日,到左大臣邸宅住两三日,断断续续,不即不离。左大臣呢,顾念他年纪还小,未免任性,并不见罪,还是真心地怜爱他。源氏公子身边和葵姬身边的侍女,都选用世间少有的美人,又常常举行公子所心爱的游艺,千方百计地逗引他的欢心。 在宫中,将以前桐壶更衣所住的淑景舍(即桐壶院)作为源氏公子的住室。以前侍候桐壶更衣的侍女,都不遣散,就叫她们侍候源氏公子。此外,桐壶更衣娘家的邸宅,也由修理职、内匠寮奉旨大加改造。这里本来有林木假山,风景十分优胜;现在再将池塘扩充,大兴土木,装点得非常美观。这便是源氏公子的二条院私邸。源氏公子想道:“这个地方,让我和我所恋慕的人同住才好。”心中不免郁悒。 世人传说:“光华公子”这个名字,是那个朝鲜相士为欲赞扬源氏公子的美貌而取的。
