Chapter five, colorful clouds are easy to disperse-Zhao Lifei and Tang Xuanzong.
Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful women in Yan and Zhao, especially Zhao in the Warring States period. Handan, which can sing and dance, has long been famous all over the world. Many outstanding queens in later generations came from Zhao's hometown. Among them, the most famous is Li Furen, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Imagine that Li Yannian introduced his sister to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with a song "Song of Beauty". A thousand years later, the same scene was staged again.
It's just that the place where the play was staged was not in Yuyu Palace, Qionglou, Chang 'an, but at a banquet held in Zhang Yong. In the second year of Jinglong (708), Li Longji was released as a special bus driver in Luzhou. At a banquet hosted in his honor by Zhang Yong, he was attracted by a beautiful woman who danced beautifully and had a clear voice. Since then, the emperor, who was praised as a affectionate species by later generations, has forged a marriage that I don't know right or wrong.
This beauty comes from Tianshui Zhao, but she is by no means a noble family. Tianshui is the county seat of Zhao. According to legend, when Qin annexed six countries, Zhao's son took some people into Xilong and lived in Tianshui. From then on, Zhao had the hope of Tianshui County. Tracing back to the source, Zhao can be regarded as half a countryman of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. On the family background, Ye Zhao can say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also came from a family advocating Excellence. Zhao Yuanli, Zhao's father, is just an artist. Zhao Tiansheng advocates Excellence and has no good record.
Winning favor can be said to be a decisive turning point in Zhao's life. Although the most important person in his heart at that time was his wife Wang, he did not forget this beautiful Zhao who could sing and dance. Considering his wife's feelings, Zhao was not immediately placed at home, but at her home.
In June of the first year of Tang Long, after Li Longji's domestic and foreign troubles were cleared up, he called Zhang Yongzhao to Chang 'an, where he was welcomed and promoted Zhang Yong to be the doctor of the palace. Zhao, who was previously placed at home to have children, was also taken to his mansion. From the dancers in Luzhou to the concubines in the East Palace, and then to Li Longji, she became the concubines of the Emperor. It can be said that Zhao's fate change is an earth-shaking change. Zhao's initial rank change in the harem is unknown because of incomplete historical materials. But the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to family history. Zhao was born as a geisha, and her initial position in the harem should not be very high. To be sure, in the first year of his reign, none of the four concubines had the place of Zhao. But the mother factor is expensive, and Zhao He's transformation will not be very low. After all, Zhao's son Li Ying was very popular at that time.
A person's birth is predestined, but his accomplishment depends on his cultivation. Zhao Renmei, who became the emperor's concubine, attached great importance to her virtue. On the sixth day of March two years ago, in order to cooperate with the education, Queen Wang resumed the silkworm-kissing ceremony. Zhao took part in the silkworm pro-activity, because during this activity, Zhao obeyed the etiquette and knew how to retreat in time, which won her praise. With this excellent performance, Zhao succeeded in making Queen Wang and others sit up and take notice of her.
In the first year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji eliminated Princess Taiping's political group and pocketed the world's power. Thirty-year-old Li Longji began to think about the heir. Queen Wang never gave birth to a son and a half for Li Longji. Without a daughter, Li Cong, the eldest son of an ordinary family, was scratched by a small animal when he was a child, leaving an indelible scar on his face. Therefore, Li Longji never regarded the disfigured eldest son as his future heir. Zhao, who was very popular at that time, had certain advantages as the second son of the emperor and always liked this son. In the first month of the third year of Kaiyuan, nine-year-old Li Ying was made a prince by Li Longji.
At this point in the story, Zhao's future is bright. Imagine that Wei Zifu, a humble singer in Princess Pingyang's mansion, was able to dominate the world and become a queen because she gave birth to a prince! Today, Zhao, his son Li Ying, also came from humble origins and was made a prince. The prince is Chu Jun, and as a prince, Li Ying can be said to be the future master of the Tang Dynasty. As the mother of the future Tang emperor, waiting for Zhao's future is naturally the mother instrument of Zhonggong.
Unfortunately, there is always some discrepancy between the facts and people's expectations. Although Li was made a prince, he had no intention of promoting the Zhao family. According to the books of the Tang Dynasty, because of Zhao's beauty, her father, Zhao Yuanli, and her brother, Zhao Changnv, were both made senior officials. However, this so-called big official, in fact, the grade is very low. In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Zhao's brother Zhao Chang slave bullied the people because he was the uncle of the Prince. He believes that if such things are left unchecked, future political affairs will be impossible to deal with. As a result, Li Chao arrested Zhao Changnv when she disappeared upward, and went to court with Zhao Changnv according to law. Later, when I learned about it, I specially awarded an imperial edict to Li to reward him for just law enforcement. He Nanyin is just an official from Sipin. Without saying anything, Li can arrest Zhao Chang, the uncle of the Prince. It was not only Zhao Changnv who broke the law first, but also because Zhao Changnv's official position at that time was definitely not higher than that of Henan Yin. According to "The Crown Prince Nafei" published in the 16th year of Kaiyuan in Li Longji, the real name of Zhao Chang's daughter is Zhao Huijin, who was promoted from a five-grade college student to a three-grade official by Li Longji until her nephew got married. It can be seen that in the early years of Kaiyuan, Zhao Huijin's official position probably didn't even reach five grades, because there was no chance of promotion in 16 years.
Zhao's son was made a prince, but it was the queen's family who really enjoyed the treatment of his uncle. Compared with the official positions of the queen's father and brother, the official positions of Zhao's father and brother can be said to be insignificant. During the Kaiyuan period, the father and younger brother of Queen Wang were frantic people. Even the uncle Wang of the Queen Wang was promoted to Zuo Jiangjun Wei, which is the third product. Zhao Huijin's official position in Kaiyuan sixteen years ago was similar to that of Sun Xin, the brother-in-law of Queen Wang. Sun Xin, the eldest son who served the royal family from the five products, dared to rely on himself as an ancient imperial doctor Li Jie who was gathered by the royal family to fight the three products. Although often later brought to justice.
Yes, but the process is not very smooth. If it didn't go well, Li Jie, an ancient imperial doctor, had to go to the temple to tell Li Longji about the court in person and get justice for himself. Compared with the queen, the prince's biological mother Zhao is nothing in her heart. After all, Queen Wang was born in the halls. She is not only Li Longji's original wife, but also the hero of two coups. Similarly, Queen Wang's brother Wang Shouyi is not only an old friend of Li Longji, but also a coup hero and Li Longji's brother-in-law. The treatment of the Queen Wang and her family is naturally much higher than that of concubines. After all, the queen is the real mistress of the harem, and concubines are just orders from male and female servants.
To take a step back, Zhao will soon find a balanced fulcrum in her heart. Even if it is not as good as the queen, it is better than other harem beauties. Born in the harem is better than Zhao, and many concubines are not as good as her. Even many concubines from halls are jealous of Zhao Renmei. Zhao, a kabuki, was fortunate to be the emperor's concubine because of her humble background. You know, there are many kabuki with outstanding talents and looks in the world, but not everyone has the opportunity to meet Tianmian, and not everyone who meets Tianmian can become the emperor's concubine. And how many sons can the concubines of the son of heaven have? Even if you have a son? There was only one prince in the Tang Dynasty, which was booked as early as the first month of the third year of Kaiyuan. As the mother of the prince, Zhao has a bright future. And Zhao's future is expected by countless harem beauties. This includes Wu Shi, the future Zhenshun Queen of Li Longji.
Four years after Kaiyuan, it became better and better for the Wu family. Not to mention Zhao, even the most important queen in the early years of Kaiyuan gradually faded out of his heart. After the abolition of the Empress in the 12th year of Kaiyuan, she took the opportunity to reorganize the harem, changing the original imperial concubine, Shu princess, De princess and Xian princess into Princess Hui, Li and Hua. Zhao, who didn't know about the promotion before, was promoted to a first-class princess. Although Wu Huifei is the agent of the harem after the Queen, Wu Huifei's rank is not higher than her. Although it is in favor, Zhao will still be here in the future. Because the prince is still here.
Is Li Ying
If there are two most beautiful moments in Zhao's life, the first time is undoubtedly when his son was made a prince, and the second time is when he was promoted to be a prince. Hui, Li and Hua are second only to the Queen. As the mother of the prince, Zhao was made one of the three concubines and had no representation in the harem, but her reputation and treatment in the harem would not be lower. After all, the grades of Hui, Li and Hua are the same, just in order. Zhao is actually in the same grade.
Unfortunately, all the beautiful things in the world are not firm, colorful clouds are easy to break, and glass is easy to break. A beautiful moment is often just a short moment. Soon after Zhao became Yincui gorge, her health collapsed. On July 14th, 14th year of Kaiyuan, 34-year-old Zhao died in Chunhuatang, Dongdu. Prior to this, Zhao, who was terminally ill, had already chosen to donate his life to Buddhism in order to enter the pure land of bliss after his death, and asked for a ceremony and a thin burial before he died. Li Longji agreed to her request. On the 26th of the same month, Zhao was buried in Beimang.
If the beauty is lost, please call the masterpiece Zhang Libei and posthumous title "Harmony".
Throughout Zhao's life, although Fang died young, her life was quite lucky. First, I was squeezed into the harem as a geisha, then I got the position of princess because my son was crowned as a prince, and finally I died in the position of Yincui gorge. It was also the right time to die. What will happen if she sees that her only son Li Ying has been framed for rebellion by Wu Huifei and is unable to defend him?
People in the Tang Dynasty like to use "Han" as a metaphor for the Tang Dynasty, and many poets in the Xuanzong era also use the metaphor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in their poems. As Wang Changling's Song of Brothel said, "A white horse with a golden saddle", as Du Fu's Car Shop said, "And the heart of Emperor Wu is still beating for the war." The "Huang Wu" in these two places does not refer to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, but to Li Longji. In fact, if you compare it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao is even a figure similar to Wei Zifu. It's just that Zhao was not as lucky as Wei Zifu when she was queen. Fortunately, she didn't live those eleven or twelve years. Otherwise, she couldn't even escape when she saw her son being wronged and unable to explain. In the end, she only committed suicide to clear her name.
