The story of Li Yu and Zhou

Li Yu (937 ~ 978), a Chinese character, was the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty at the end of the Five Dynasties. Known as Li Houzhu. In 975, Song Bing broke Jinling, went through customs and was poisoned. Be able to write poems, songs and paintings, especially names. The language of poetry and prose is vivid and full of lamentations about life experience and reality. His works have broken through the erotic pattern of pronouns in the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties in both theme and artistic conception. In the late Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Li Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, died, and his sixth son Li Yu ascended the throne. Li Yu is young, smart, slim, with heavy eyebrows, good rhythm of poetry and painting, and brilliant. He is the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty in history. After Li Yu ascended the throne, he never cared about state affairs, composing music every day and pretending to be romantic. When spring came, the windows, walls, columns, arches and steps of his temple were all separated by C, and all kinds of flowers were densely inserted, which was called "Jindongtian"; Let all the concubines in the palace wear high buns, put flowers on their temples, and drink and have fun in the golden cave. Time flies, and it will soon be the night of begging for cleverness on July 7. In the Blue Sky Palace, Li Yu has set up an eight-foot-high glass screen, which has been tied into the shape of the Moon Palace and Tianhe River. On the hollow floor of the palace, he chiseled gold to make lotus flowers, which were about six feet high and decorated with various treasures. Soon after the layout was completed, I saw a moon palace, across which the Tianhe River straddled, surrounded by colored glass lamps, which were bright inside and outside. In the Moon Palace, there are countless geisha, dressed as rosy clouds fairies, playing colorful feather clothes with musical instruments, with loud and pleasant voices. It's like being in the moon palace. Zhou claimed to say to Yang, "Your majesty's ingenious thinking is unattainable! This arrangement is no different from Guanghan Palace. If Chang 'e knows, I'm afraid I'll come down to earth to attend this grand event. Li Yu said with a smile: "In the past, there was a poem in the Tang Dynasty that said,' Chang 'e should regret stealing the elixir.' . Although Chang 'e lives in the Moon Palace as a fairy, she feels lonely and desolate. Where can she compare with me and Qing? On earth, she can have fun at dusk! "Li Yu and all after drinking, until it was already bright, didn't end. Unexpectedly, a few weeks later, on the night of Qixi, I drank a few more glasses of wine and suddenly fell ill. Li Yu was in a hurry and called Zhou Zhou's family to the palace to see the province. A few weeks later, parents came to the palace to meet them with their second daughter. Stay in the palace with your family for a few more days after worship, and then go back when you are well. Zhou's stepmother had to go back because of the complicated family affairs, leaving only her second daughter in the palace to recuperate. Zhou Xiao is more talented than Zhou Zhou. Li Yu has been secretly coveting, and can't help killing two birds with one stone, because he has no reason to get close, only envy in his heart. Now that I heard that Zhou Xiao lived in the palace, I ordered my heart to lure Zhou Xiao to Luoxiao Pavilion in Houyuanhong, forcing her to bear the rain and dew. Li Yu once built a pavilion among the flowers, paved with red Luo, decorated with tortoiseshell ivory, beautifully carved, and hung a crane on the couch, full of pearls, shining brightly. It's just a small area where only two people can rest. When Li Yu met a beautiful maid-in-waiting, she was led to the pavilion, where she was lucky, so she arranged beds, embroidered mattresses and other bedding. After the maid-in-waiting introduced Zhou Xiao's family, she turned and quit. Zhou Xiao's family saw that the place inside was small, but it was magnificent. There is a coral bed, a blue gauze curtain, a lot of brocade and an embroidered mattress. There is a man sitting on the bed. That's Li Yu. I didn't know that the red tide was dizzy, and I was ashamed. Zhou Xiao quickly turned around and opened the door with his hand, but the door was closed tightly, and he couldn't open it with all his strength. Li Yu has decided that Zhou Xiao has it. Zhou's family had nowhere to hide, so they had to say shyly, "Please show some respect. If my sister knows, how can I save face? " Li Yu smiled and said, "Since ancient times, emperors have been romantic. Who cares about jade and incense? It's very secret here, and the palace people dare not enter without showing their faces. There is no reason to disclose it, but you can rest assured. " Zhou Xiao's life is beautiful, intelligent and blue-hearted. He often feels sorry for himself in the mirror, fearing that he will fall into the hands of vulgar people in the future. I also saw that my sister was married to Li Yu and became the mother of Nantang. I can't enjoy happiness and happiness, but I envy it in my heart. Now Li Yu takes a fancy to herself. She is soft and gentle and willing to be husband and wife. Her heart has allowed it, but she has to do it. Act shy and turn away on purpose. Once Li Yu pleaded repeatedly, and he reluctantly obeyed Li Yu. Li Yu is a romantic son of heaven, with a beautiful woman like Zhou Xiao. He is particularly proud of having an affair with himself. Many people want to express their feelings through poetry, so he added the word "Bodhisattva Man" and described his affair with Zhou Xiao. Its lyrics say: "The flowers and the bright moon are dark and the fog is light. I can go to Lang's side tonight. I walk with sweet steps and carry gold thread shoes. See you at the south bank of the painting gallery, and you will tremble at noon. It is difficult for a slave to come out, and teach Lang mercy! " This poem is very fragrant, and those concubines in the harem have already sung it. What happened between Li Yu and Zhou Xiaojia, even people know, is a romantic story. Fortunately, I was ill in bed a week later and didn't know about it. Li Yu is not careful. Every day, he sings and drinks with Zhou Xiao's family in the red Luoxiao Pavilion. Chief instructor julee holding ebony, Zhou Xiao's voice turned around. The moon is clear and the clouds are light, and it is beautiful. It is a fairy in the sky. Li Yu saw that Mrs. Zhou had drunk a few glasses of wine, and she was a little drunk, bent over, with her shoulders cut, her lips slightly open, and her aroma was amazing. She couldn't help adding the words "Welcome Pearl" while drinking: "I just finished my evening makeup. Turn the heavy sandalwood into light, giving people a little clove flavor. A clear song, temporarily lead the cherry blossoms to break. The sleeves are still dark. Cup deep spin, fragrant mash washing, embroidered bed leaning on jiao. Chewing red velvet and laughing at Tan Lang. " Li Yu's A Huzhu describes his drinking, singing and daily hobbies with Zhou Xiao. Li Yu only entertained himself day and night at the Red Pavilion, leaving all his concubines behind. Those concubines were resentful after being snubbed by Li Yu, but it happened that Li Yu filled in these two words and truly described all the affairs. Concubines came to the palace to ask about Zhou Zhou's illness, and told Zhou Zhou about the relationship between Li Yu and Zhou Xiao with two sentences as evidence. After a week, I was sick, angry and jealous, and suddenly my condition got worse. I spit out one mouthful blood from my throat and immediately fainted. It took a long time to wake up, sighing and panting. After a few weeks, his condition deteriorated, and a few days later, he died. Li Yu, who died a few weeks later, ordered Hou's funeral to be buried with Shan Ling, and named him the queen. After a while, he made Zhou Xiao's wife queen. Xiao Zhou loves green. The clothes they wear are all blue, with bright makeup and high bun. They are dressed in blue, flying in groups and enjoying the charm of the wind. When they saw Zhou Xiao dressed in blue, they all followed Zhou Xiao's example and tried to wear blue. The ladies-in-waiting also suspected that the blue dyed outside was impure, so they dyed silk themselves. A maid-in-waiting dyed a silk and dried it in the garden. She forgot to collect it at night and got wet with dew. The next day, the color was particularly bright. A few weeks later, Li Yuhe and Zhou Xiao met, and they both felt very good. Since then, the ladies-in-waiting of concubines have been wearing clothes dyed blue with dew, numbered "Tianshui Bi". Li Yu and Zhou Xiao never leave, depending on the Sixth Hospital. Zhou Xiao is not only good-looking, but also literate and good at melody, which is especially exquisite compared with the later Zhou Dynasty. She loves burning incense and has a clever idea of making incense burning utensils. Every day, curtains are hung to burn incense, and the house is full of incense. Sitting in it after a small week, like in the clouds, looks like a fairy. But when sleeping, you can't burn incense in the tent. If you are afraid of fire, you can steam agarwood with goose pears and put it in the tent, and the fragrance will be emitted, which is refreshing and fascinating. When agarwood meets hot air, the fragrance comes out. Now it's steamed with goose pears, put it in the account, stained with people's sweat, and the fragrance becomes sweet. Zhou Xiao took a name, called "fragrance in the account". Li Yu made camellia seeds into flower cakes of different sizes and shapes, and let the ladies-in-waiting wear light makeup, wear plain clothes, put gold on their faces, and apply it on their foreheads, named "Beiyuan makeup". Since Li Yu created "Beiyuan Makeup", concubines and empresses have all gone to colorful decorations. They all wore plain clothes, gold ornaments on their temples and flower cakes on their foreheads. When they walked, their clothes fluttered and looked like Guanghan fairies from a distance. Li Yu and Zhou Xiao studied day and night, making tea milk into pieces, making all kinds of fragrant tea, and boiling it to make it fragrant. Li Yu collected all kinds of fragrant food made by foreigners, or cooked into dishes, or made into cake bait, or fried into soup, up to 92 kinds, all of which are fragrant and fragrant. Li Yu personally named each dish and published it on the menu. The chef was ordered to prepare a grand banquet for the newly cooked food, and the imperial clan minister was called into the palace for a banquet, which was called "Neixiang Banquet". Li Yu doesn't light candles at night, but a night pearl hangs in the palace. At night, the light from the night pearl is like day. Li Yu just wanted to hold a song and dance banquet, but he didn't know that Song Taizu had sent troops to Pingnan Han. He is going to send troops to train the navy and prepare to wipe out the south of the Yangtze River. Li Yu was shocked to hear the news of the demise of the Southern Han Dynasty, so he went to Song Ting, hoping to become the master of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Song Taizu ordered Li Yu to enter the court. Li Yu said that he was ill and refused to enter the DPRK. Song Taizu used Li Yu as an excuse to be disobedient and ambitious, and ordered Cao Bin to lead a hundred thousand troops to attack Nantangnan today. There will be no guards at the southern Tang dynasty, and all of them will leave the city. Song Jun is invincible and invincible. Li Yu summoned monks and Taoists in the palace, chanted scriptures and burned incense, prayed for the blessing of the gods, wrote a letter to the emperor in person, and made a wish to let Teacher Song retire, built a number of Buddha statues, and claimed to be a lotus peak layman, telling him to retire quickly. Finally, Li Yu was at a loss, so he ordered Xu Xuanchi to meet Song Taizu in Bianjing and begged him to stop fighting. Xu Xuan said a thousand good words, but Song Taizu sneered helplessly: "How can others sleep soundly by the couch?" Li Yu knew that he was at the end of his rope and had to lead his officials to surrender to the army. Cao Bin came to Bianjing with Li Yu and his party. Call Li Yu a disobedient Hou and Mrs. Zheng. Jiangnan usurped Wu Jiantang from Li■, spread to Li Yu, reigned for nineteen years, and died in Song Dynasty, which lasted forty-eight years. After Song Taizu's death, Taizong acceded to the throne. Li Yu was also named the king of Longxi County and lived with Zhou Xiao in Jidi. Li Yu is no better than Liu Chang. Although he is like Liu Chang, Liu Chang is good at eloquence, eloquence and flattery. In front of Emperor Taizong, he was pleasant to hear, so Emperor Taizong had no suspicion of Chang Lu. Then Li Yu is very different. He can only hold a pen, sing the wind and write a few gorgeous and sad poems. If he can speak eloquently, there is nothing. So when it comes to meeting Taizong, Liu Chang always smiles and flatters; Li Yu is always depressed and doesn't talk. Besides, Emperor Taizong was not as kind as Mao. When he saw Li Yu like this, he suspected that he held a grudge and secretly sent someone to watch Li Yu. A week later, Zhou Zong's daughter, nicknamed E Huang, was born with bright eyes and white teeth. She was very beautiful and had a long-standing reputation. But in feudal times, what men and women pay attention to is giving and harvesting, so Li Yu has never met such a beautiful fiancee. It was not until the wedding night that Li Yu caught a glimpse of her beauty when the red veil was lifted. And this glance firmly tied his romantic and affectionate heart. The beauty of the bride is beyond his imagination, just look at her: her eyes look forward, clear and transparent; Cherry small mouth, chic and exquisite; Like a cloud, rolled up high; Like a jade neck, tall and elegant; Delicate hands, such as cutting onion roots. When he first saw the beauty of E Huang, he couldn't help but lose himself. He only thinks that she is a hundred times more vivid and beautiful than what she read in books. And E Huang side, Li Yu's elegant and handsome is also a big accident. I've long heard that the crown prince is rich in armour and is born with heavy eyes and heavy teeth, which is very unusual. But she thought, the prince and grandson have always been arrogant, and the crown prince from different backgrounds must be more domineering and more difficult to serve. Unexpectedly, at first glance, it was so gentle. The two men shook hands and looked at each other affectionately for a while, shyly avoiding each other's burning eyes. A thousand words turn into silence. Brilliant and eloquent Li Yu and clever E Huang became speechless for a while. For a long time, Li Yucai generate from the bottom of his heart: "Grow old with my son." This year, Li Yu 18 years old and E Huang 19 years old. They fell in love at first sight at the wedding, and fell in love for the first time after marriage, and performed a touching love story, such as over the knee. E Huang is not only good-looking, but also good at singing and dancing, with beautiful melody. Playing the pipa with one hand is even more superb, just like crying with the devil. Later, she played the pipa for Li Jing's birthday, which was greatly appreciated by the Lord. In a happy mood, she got a precious burning flute and pipa. According to legend, this pipa was made by Jiao Tong, a famous scholar in Cai Yong at the end of Han Dynasty. Exquisite appearance and excellent sound quality are priceless. E Huang regards it as his own life and is inseparable from it. Combining with E Huang is like injecting great vitality into Li Yu's fountain of life, and his lonely and monotonous life has become swaying since then. They are attached to each other and inseparable; They admire flowers and sing about the moon, sing poems and write lyrics, sing and dance lightly, and live a happy and carefree life like a fairy. Sometimes when E Huang goes home to visit relatives, Li Yuru is on pins and needles. Although it's only three or two days, it seems like three or two years to him. In order to reduce the suffering of lovesickness, he tried his best to write lyrics, thus making many tender poems. The following song "Sauvignon Blanc" is one of them: a cloud, a vortex, a jade shuttle, a thin shirt and a pair of light snails. There are many autumn winds, and the rain is mild. There are three or two bananas outside the curtain. There's nothing people can do about it. E Huang is naive and naughty by nature, and she is charming. In front of a gentle and congenial husband, her nature can be fully displayed. One day, she drank a few glasses of wine and was slightly drunk, which made her white sleeves refute and match her white face, making her more charming and beautiful. She chewed a ball of red wool playfully and spat at her distracted husband. Both of them fell on the bed with a smile. This vivid boudoir play instantly aroused Li Yu's creative inspiration. He got up and wrote, and instantly became a poem "Ah Hu Zhu": the evening makeup just came off, and he made a few notes gently. Show people a lilac, sing a clear song, and temporarily lead the cherry to break. The sleeves of Luohu are still black, and the cup is deeply swirled by the fragrant mash. Embroidered bed leans on jiao without that, chewing red velvet and laughing. After reading this word, I stood in front of a drunken and charming E Huang. Li Yu's ci, portrait and vivid ability can be seen. E Huang's talent shines under the nourishment of Li Yu's love. She is proficient in melody, not only singing and dancing, but also writing dance music by herself. Li Zhongzhu gave her that precious flute-burning pipa, which was also a gift to the right person. Li Yu and his wife often sing and answer poems, write lyrics and compose music, and play harmoniously. It is said that once E Huang invited Li Yu to dance, he immediately released two new songs, named "I hate being late" and "Inviting Drunk Dancing". If you don't have a deep melody foundation and musical talent, you can't do such improvisation anyway. E Huang is basically a great musician, and her greatest contribution to China music may be the restoration of the famous colorful feathers.
