The ancient poem has clouds: "Li Du's article is here, and the flame of light is long." "Li Bai and Du Fu, the age difference between the two is 11 years, one is like a god, the other is like a dark cloud with a life of sorrow, and the values of the two are very different. But despite this, as soon as the two meet, they are like brothers.
That year, Li Bai was 43 years old, Du Fu was 32 years old, and the two met in the ancient city of Chang'an. This meeting was called "the meeting of the sun and the moon" by the famous scholar Wen Yiduo in modern times.
What is more touching than "Li Du's article" is that "if life is only like the first sight". It is still the old place of Chang'an, but this time, the protagonist is not "Li Du", but "Liu Liu". The two men met under the Great Ci'en Temple in Chang'an. This is more than 30 jinshi xinke, they gathered under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, in order to express the joy in their hearts, everyone inscribed a poem to leave a name, a 21-year-old youth also left his name here - Liu Zongyuan.
Liu Zongyuan is the Liu clan of Hedong, once belonged to the famous and prestigious family, helpless to Liu Zongyuan's time, the family road fell, so Liu Zongyuan studied hard, in order to one day be able to take the meritorious name in the future and revitalize the Liu clan of Hedong.
Liu Zongyuan saw a talented man standing opposite him, as polite and personable as himself, and was about to ask about the identity of the other party. At this time, the other party spoke first and said: "I am after Liu Sheng, the King of Jing of Zhongshan, and I belong to the same lineage as Liu Bei, the Emperor of Han Zhaolie, and my surname is Liu Mingyuxi."
Liu Zongyuan was suddenly shocked, in his opinion, although he was in the middle of the family, he could not imagine that the other party was bigger. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that "the same is the fallen man at the end of the world"!
After Liu Zongyuan also introduced himself, the two exchanged heartfelt words and became confidants. That year, Liu Zongyuan was 21 years old, and Liu Yuxi was 22 years old, just in the right year. This meeting, although it was not long, but each other regarded each other as an important person in their own lives.
In 803, Liu Zongyuan returned to Chang'an to serve as the inspector of imperial history, and Liu Yuxi, who had taken office a year earlier than him, had already set up a banquet and waited for Liu Zongyuan's arrival. On the night when the two were together, the two sides drank until late at night, slept for a long time, and talked all night. At this time, Datang is no longer the previous Datang, after experiencing the "Anshi Chaos", it has long been brilliant, seeing this scene, the two can't help but issue a sigh.
However, it is also the "Anshi Rebellion" that gives them an opportunity, just when Datang needs reform and needs to work hard to govern, and the talents of the two are also valued by The reformist Wang Shuqi. Under his introduction, Liu Liu and liu became red men under the door of Prince Li Shu.
Where the two work, there is a timed hourglass. One day, Liu Zongyuan had a sudden idea and said to Liu Yuxi: "Looking at this thing every day, how does Brother Meng de feel?" Liu Yuxi pondered for a moment, and then composed a poem: "The qin state has achieved success in thinking about taxation, and the name of the Jin dynasty has sighed in crisis." There is no reason for The Yellow Dog to lead the Cai, and is willing to be a cloth cloth for Dantu. ”
Liu Yuxi used allusions in the first two sentences, and Li Si of the Qin State and Zhuge Changmin of the Jin State ended up in a tragic end because of their pride and complacency and greed for power. Before dying, Li Si said to his young son, "I just want to go with you to lead the yellow dog to Go hunting in Cai, and such a small wish can't be fulfilled!" ”
And the last sentence "the original Dantian Yibu" is probably the truest thought in Li Si's heart at that time, he hated himself, he hated the self who saw the toilet rat and the hamster, hated the self who chased fame and fortune.
So, is Li Si's idea the true thought in Liu Yuxi's heart at that time? Obviously not, Liu Yuxi just warned himself and warned Liu Zongyuan not to be proud and complacent, otherwise he would not succeed, but he would be framed miserably! Although we must be careful and cautious, we must also do something big, and do not die of hatred like Li Si and Zhuge Changmin in those years, who did not realize their ideals and ambitions. In this way, the two hit it off and prepared to do something big.
In 805, the crown prince Li Shu (Emperor Shunzong of Tang) succeeded to the throne, and he reused Wang Shuwen and carried out reforms. In order to change the law, this group of young people, at all costs, did not hesitate to touch the cake of the powerful people of the dynasty, so that they must be burned.
The reform was carried out for only a short period of more than 140 days, and it was declared a failure, the eunuch clique supported the new crown prince to ascend the throne, and Tang Shunzong also became the emperor of Taishang, and the "Two Kings and Eight Simas" who initiated the reform were all degraded, which is the famous "Two Kings and Eight Simas" incident in history.
Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, and Liu Yuxi was demoted to Bashu. Both places were far away from the capital and desolate, but Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi's mentality was completely different.
Soon after arriving in Yongzhou, Liu Zongyuan's wife died. In the land of Liuzhou, the population is sparse, without the company of his wife, the pain of losing his wife in middle age is only clear in Liu Zongyuan's own heart. Liu Zongyuan was in a depressed mood and wrote "Jiang Xue": "Thousands of mountain birds fly to extinction, and thousands of people disappear." Lonely boat, fishing alone in the snow of the Cold River. Liu Zongyuan looked at the people's livelihood and wrote "The Snake Catcher Says".
Unlike Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi did not pessimistic and disappointed after being degraded, and wrote the famous "Autumn Words": "Since ancient times, autumn is sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring dynasty." A crane in the clear sky lined up on the clouds, and it led the poetry to the blue sky. "Among them, I am afraid that this is the only one who has been proud of his ambitions in the past.
"Bashan Chushui was desolate, abandoned for twenty-three years." In the land of Bashan Chushui, the desolation is no less than that of Liuzhou. But Liu Yuxi wrote to Liu Zongyuan from time to time, telling him that he must live optimistically and strongly, believing that there will be a day when he will emerge.
As a result, Liu Zongyuan began to no longer be worried, began to attach himself to the landscape, and wrote the "Record of Little Stone Pond": "The fish in the pond can be hundreds of heads, if they swim in the air and have nothing to rely on, the sun is clear, and the shadow is on the stone." Standing still, Li Er passed away, and the back and forth were fleeting, as if enjoying with the tourists. ”
From this passage, it is not difficult for us to see that Liu Zongyuan's mood has become much more cheerful. At this time, Liu Zongyuan had begun to focus on the surrounding scenery and things. But it is no wonder that with a friend like Liu Yuxi to relieve his worries and depression, his mood will of course change.
In those days when the others seemed dark and lawless, the two of them enjoyed themselves, lived happily and freely. After 10 years, the debacing ended, and Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi were recalled to Chang'an again.
The two who returned to Chang'an were very relaxed. This time, the two came to the Internet celebrity punch point in Chang'an City - Xuanduguan. Liu Yuxi was happy and wrote a poem: "Purple and red dust blows on the face, and no one looks at the flowers." The peach trees in the Xuandu Temple were all planted after Liu Lang went there. ”
What I didn't expect was that "the peach trees in the Xuandu Temple were planted after Liu Lang went." These two sentences reached the ears of the magnates. The magnates soon heard the words out of the question: Liu Yuxi was expressing his dissatisfaction, especially for those of us who took the opportunity to ascend to the throne. This time, Liu Liu and Liu were once again degraded.
"Ren Liu Yuxi for the History of the Thorns of Bozhou" and "Liu Zongyuan for the History of the Thorns of Liuzhou". Seeing the transfer order, Liu Zongyuan cried, this time not for himself, but for his friend Liu Yuxi. It turned out that Liu Yuxi had an old mother to support, and this time he was transferred to Bozhou, and he would die.
Therefore, Liu Zongyuan requested to transfer himself to Bozhou and Liu Yuxi to Liuzhou. Even if you are guilty of this, you will not give up. In the end, the emperor was moved by the feelings of Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi, and also considered that Liu Yuxi wanted to support his elderly mother, so he changed Liu Yuxi to Lianzhou Assassin History.
Liu Zongyuan died four years after his arrival. Liu Zongyuan was only 47 years old that year. Before dying, Liu Zongyuan asked people to take the manuscript and his own children to find Liu Yuxi overnight. Liu Yuxi cried bitterly, he knew that Liu Zongyuan had two wishes in this life: one was to let his writings be passed on to the world, and the other wish was to make his children talented.
After many years, Liu Yuxi looked at the sunset in the distance, silent, he thought of the scene many years ago: "I am the Liu clan of Hedong", "I am the King of Zhongshan Jing, after Liu Bei, the emperor of Han Zhaolie", after saying that the two laughed and ran hand in hand to the Chang'an Palace...
