-the romantic story of Li Yu and He Hou.
"The emperors of the Southern Dynasties loved romantic life. They lived a carefree life." Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is the representative of the emperors of the Southern Dynasty.
Li Yu is the sixth son of Li Jing. Being born on Qixi, Li Jing was very happy and said, "Tonight is Qixi, and my son was born on this day. I hope he will be happy all his life, so I named him Jia Cong and let him do everything from Jiajia! " Li Yu changed his name after he proclaimed himself emperor.
Born in Jia, he looks like an emperor: his forehead is broad, his cheeks are full, his mouth is full of teeth and his eyes are heavy. Yu Shun and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, were both heavy pupils in history.
The twelfth year of Baoda University is a year worthy of a great book in Jia's life. This year, he 18 years old, at the behest of his father, 19 years old married E Huang, the eldest daughter of Zhou Zong, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although it is a political marriage, it is happy in all aspects. First of all, E Huang has a very touching appearance. She has a pair of clear phoenix eyes, white skin if frozen, elegant temperament, with a mature and moving curve of a girl. Secondly, E Huang is a talented woman. She is well-read, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. So this is a typical combination of talented people and beautiful women, which is a perfect match and brings out the best in each other. Although it is "get married first, then fall in love", once you get married, your feelings will suddenly fall in love. Occasionally, I feel "I haven't seen you for a day, like I'm separated from Sanqiu."
Shortly after the marriage, E Huang returned to her parents. At this time, it coincides with the continuous autumn rain and bleak autumn wind. The beauty is gone, alone in the air, feeling the unprecedented loneliness from Jia. E Huang's face and figure "fragrant and fragrant, bloom Lotus" constantly flashed before his eyes, and E Huang's elegance constantly emanated from the brocade pillow. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time, so he got up and lit the candle, took a pen and spread out the paper, and wrote the next song "Sauvignon Blanc"
There is a cloud, a jade shuttle, a thin shirt and a pair of snails.
There are many autumn winds and the two phases are harmonious. There are three bananas outside the curtain, and the night is long.
A little parting is better than a wedding. Sure enough, he came back, and what Jia thought came true. As time went on, he found E Huang more and more lovely. One day, E Huang got up and dressed herself in the mirror. From the mirror, she found Jia Cong staring at her every move, so affectionate and so focused. When she found out, she couldn't help laughing and humming happily. In order to set off the atmosphere, the ladies-in-waiting were presented with Jiarang's wine, and the husband and wife talked about the wine. After a few drinks, E Huang's cheeks turned red. "People are not drunk", leaning on the embroidered bed, looking at Jia Cong affectionately. Then, waving the sleeves stained with wine, take out an embroidery thread and put it in your mouth. Chewing for a while, I suddenly vomited a mouthful of red velvet sent by Jia, and it was sent by Jia again. I was not surprised at all, then I smiled, and then I wrote this scene into a new word "Welcome Pearl":
Just after a little makeup, write it down. Show people a lilac, sing a clear song, and temporarily lead the cherry to break.
The sleeves of the sleeves 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.
Shortly after marrying Jia Cong, E Huang's superb pipa playing skills were quickly revealed. The pipa she plays is often fascinating, and can be compared with the pipa girl written by Bai Juyi. What is particularly commendable is that with the help of residual music, she has restored colorful feathers that have been lost for more than 200 years. One day, I was looking through the music in Jia's study and saw a piece of residual color. She was particularly surprised. She wants to see the true face of this dance that broke the "fairy song" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The only fly in the ointment is that it is only a remnant. She hurried to the piano room and tried to play the pipa. She absorbed herself, thought hard, followed the map, and finally restored the famous songs that had been lost for more than 200 years with her profound musical skills. According to his own understanding, E Huang changed the ending, and the ending of the original song gradually slowed down and drifted away, while E Huang changed it to an abrupt end. The song of clothes is divided into three parts with 18 times, slow is wonderful, and urgent is lightning and thunder. The performance of this song in the palace was a great success, and the monarch and ministers unanimously praised E Huang's extraordinary talent.
In 994, E Huang, who was only 29 years old, suddenly fell ill and could not be cured for a long time. At first, Jia Cong just wanted to be a romantic genius and live a drizzly life. But God made him a prince unprepared. He was a prince for less than a year, and he became an emperor before his role was well played. Seeing that his beloved wife was ill, Li Yu stayed at E Huang's bedside day and night, hoping that she would recover soon. In order to enhance E Huang's confidence in overcoming the disease, he presented his book "Broken Children in the Backyard" to E Huang, wishing her eternal youth: "In front of Yushu's backyard, Yao Cao put on a mirror. Last year's flowers were not old, but this month they are round again. " Impartial teaching, harmony with the moon flower, and teaching teenagers in heaven. "
Just when E Huang was seriously ill and needed Li Yu's company most, he fell in love with E Huang's sister, and soon developed into frequent trysts, which deeply hurt E Huang's heart.
After E Huang was seriously ill, her sister came to visit her from her hometown of Yangzhou. E Huang's younger sister, because she didn't leave a name in history, was later named queen, so people called her Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao is younger than E Huang 14 years old. When Li Yu and E Huang got married, Zhou Xiao was only five years old. With the passage of time, the little girl who is still in chaos has become a graceful girl of 15 years old. Zhou Xiao was born lively, beautiful and lovely, and was deeply loved by Li Yu's mother. Often send someone to pick her up and live in the palace. Zhou Xiao is much like E Huang when she first entered the palace, but she is younger and more lively than E Huang. With the increase of contact, Li Yu's attitude towards her has also changed.
Zhou Xiao came to see my sister this time and was arranged to live in the painting hall of the Ursa Major Temple in Eta. At noon that day, after a nap, Li Yu wore casual clothes to visit Zhou Xiao. In order to give Zhou Xiao an unexpected surprise, he informed the ladies-in-waiting and went directly to the picture gallery. When I came to the door of the painting hall, the room was quiet. I dozed off and didn't wake up. He quietly lifted the bamboo curtain and looked in: a few weeks later, he was lying on the embroidered couch in his pajamas, thinner than a cicada. The intoxicating curve, thick black hair spread on the brocade bed, and the sleeping beauty made a uniform breathing sound. The girl's unique body fragrance followed. Li Yu couldn't help being fascinated. He wanted to take a closer look and smell the satisfaction, so he opened the door curtain and went in. Unexpectedly, he touched the bead lock and sent it out, though it was not big.
A few weeks later, I suddenly woke up, turned around and saw Li Zheng standing at the door in embarrassment. At this time, Li Yu had to bite the bullet and go forward and say, "I wanted to see my little sister, but I was sorry to disturb her good dream!" " Zhou Xiao said quickly, "I didn't know your majesty was coming. Please forgive me for not welcoming me. " Having said that, Zhou Xiao realized that she was still wearing pajamas, and hurriedly gave a gift and retreated behind the screen to change clothes.
After changing clothes, Zhou Xiao sat down again and asked about her sister's recent illness. While speaking, Zhou Xiao inadvertently glanced at Li Yu and found that her brother-in-law was staring at himself with a strange look. His brother-in-law had two pupils in one eye. Zhou Xiao bowed his head shyly. In order to break the embarrassment, Zhou Xiao said, "I just found out today that one of your majesty's eyes is exactly the same as Dashun's."
"Yes, people call him and Tang Yao and Yu Xia it runs in the family. It was an era when the world served the public. He is not only a famous sage, but also an enviable happy family. "
"What is happiness?"
"He has a lovely wife who is not only beautiful, but also infatuated with him. The queen's name is E Huang, with the same name as your sister, and the princess's name is Nv Ying, E Huang's sister. They all married Shun Di, and Shun Di died on Cangwu Mountain during his southern tour. They all died of grief. The tears of the two sisters spilled on the bamboo, and then the bamboo appeared spots, which was later called "Xiangfei Bamboo". I don't want to be a saint, I just want to have a beautiful and affectionate queen and princess like Dashun. This life is enough. " Li Yu said, eyes looking straight ahead. Young as Zhou Xiao is, he is very clever. The seed of love, listening to Li Yu, has vaguely understood the implication of her brother-in-law. But she was not prepared at all. She didn't know how to deal with it at the moment, bowed her head in fear and said nothing.
Li Yu said a word, feeling too impulsive, and made an excuse to leave. Back in Tang, I recalled this meeting with you. At that time, I was deeply touched, so I filled in a song "Bodhisattva Man":
The roof of Penglai courtyard is closed, and the painting hall sleeps day and night without a word. Cui Yunguang threw the pillow and embroidered clothes smelled strange fragrance.
I hate Silverscreen's dream. With a slow smile on his face, he looks forward to it infinitely.
After writing, he asked the maid-in-waiting to give this letter to Zhou Xiao.
After reading this sentence, Zhou Xiao fully understood his brother-in-law's mind. Especially how subtle, intense and thought-provoking the phrase "infinite affectionate eyes" is! She couldn't help thinking of what her brother-in-law said about Dashun, E Huang and Nv Ying. Could it be that her brother-in-law was reborn as Dashun, and her sister and herself were E Huang and Nv Ying? Otherwise, why is the brother-in-law's eyes as long as Dashun's, and my sister happens to be called E Huang? ...
On Li Yu's side, Zhou Xiao, after a nap, is a face full of youthful breath, with a purplish voice and a plump and moving figure, shaking in front of his eyes anytime and anywhere, and even he often sees Zhou Xiao in his sleep. His whole body and mind were attracted by Zhou Xiao, and the blazing flame of love baked him. He really can't hold on. Besides, with the respect of the emperor, "all over the world, is it the land of kings?" Is it Wang Ju who leads this land? "Why can't Zhou Xiao be mine? Just, E Huang is ill and can't help but take care of her emotions. So, he wrote a secret letter, made a tryst at Shifeng Temple around midnight after Zhou Xiao, and sent maids to Zhou Xiao.
After receiving the secret letter, Zhou Xiao decided that he was the second person in Nv Ying and was determined to keep the appointment as scheduled. After midnight, the moonlight was dim and everything was silent. After a few weeks, she walked out of the painting gallery and slowly walked to Shifeng Temple. Only the golden shoes under her feet made a regular noise, which made her feel thrilling. She had to take off her golden shoes, hold them in her hands, glance back and forth, and walk to Shifeng Temple.
When I came to Shifeng Temple and opened the door, I saw Li standing in front of the flower stand, eagerly waiting for her arrival. She threw herself into Li's arms. Because of the first contact with a man, I trembled and panted to Li Yu, "I'll leave everything to you, and you can love as much as you like!" " I hope I won't let my family down in the future! Li Yu said nothing, just held her tightly in her arms, and then gently held Zhou Xiao to the embroidered bed. They spent an unforgettable sleepless night. ...
The next day, Li Yu returned to the integrity hall and excitedly wrote a "Bodhisattva Man" about the scene last night:
The moon is dark and foggy, so I can go to Lang's side tonight. Arrange socks, step on incense and carry gold shoes. See you at the south bank of the gallery, always shivering. It is difficult for a slave to come out, but he should be taught to be merciful.
Husband and wife are very sensitive to each other's emotional changes, especially the female side. At first, E Huang was surprised that Li Yu seldom came to see herself in recent days. Later, she met her sister and said that she was picked up by her brother-in-law for many days. When she visited her sister several times, she met her sister in a coma. After hearing this, Emperor E understood everything. She painfully closed her eyes and didn't talk to her sister again.
After E Huang's death, Li Yu looked back on her love life of 10, and felt deeply sad and guilty. He went to E Huang's grave to mourn his beloved wife and wrote a eulogy of more than 2,000 words. In his eulogy, he was brilliant and sincere, and highly praised E Huang's beautiful appearance and superhuman talent, revisiting their love life. Finally, regardless of his own identity, the name of "Yu widower" was engraved on the giant monument in the cemetery.
After E Huang was buried, in the harem where he and E Huang lived together, Li Yu was moved by the sight everywhere, leaving the piano dead. For a long time, Li Yu was unhappy and wrote many sincere and touching mourning poems, such as "The charming posture of the layered city does not return, and the festival is not self-sustaining." In the past, there was an old smoky moon, and there were flying moths crying in Furong City.
After E Huang's death, Zhou Xiao was recognized as the queen and officially married Li Yu in the first year of Kaibao (968).
Like other romantic emperors in history, Li Yu not only dotes on E Huang sisters, but also dotes on other concubines and Gong 'e, such as Liu Zhu and Qiu Shui. (omitted)
Ministers who are concerned about the country and the people are very dissatisfied with Li Yu's crazy pursuit of pleasure regardless of state affairs under the current situation of strong enemies. There is a poem "Golden Lotus Step Poetry" sarcastically: "Jinling Jiali lives up to its reputation, and the lotus is on the water; Instead of sharing his happiness with the people, he watched the golden lotus in the palace. Unfortunately, Li Yu has been numb and has not attracted his attention.
Judging from Li Yu's experience, before he became a prince and emperor, he devoted himself to poetry and temperament, and being an emperor was inherently lacking. When he became emperor, he should have tried his best to defend himself against powerful enemies, but he indulged in debauchery, devoted most of his energy to playing with Zhou and Xiao, fanned a wave of extravagance and enjoyment at home, stole the column and left the danger of national subjugation and extinction behind him. Facing Zhao Kuangyin, his fate as the king of national subjugation is inevitable.
