Wang Bo was one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, and he wrote many works, but the most widely praised was a preface to the Tengwang Pavilion that he made on his way to visit his father. However, what everyone does not know is that he once wrote a strange article, and because of this article, he was expelled from Chang'an City by Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
When Wang Bo was sixteen years old, he passed the imperial examination and became an official in Chang'an called Chaosanlang. Because he wrote a good article, he was recommended by the chief examiner at the time to Li Xian, the king of Pei, and did the revision of the Pei King's Mansion.
Li Xian, the king of Pei, admired Wang Bo's literary talent very much, and often took the articles written by Wang Bo to his father Li Zhi to see, and Li Zhi was amazed after reading it, and even praised Wang Bo as a 'wizard, a wizard, a prodigy of my Tang Dynasty', so he let Wang Bo do Li Xian's attendant.
During the Tang Dynasty, cockfighting was popular, and Li Xian, the King of Pei, was no exception, often asking Li Xian, who was still the King of England, to fight cocks. Once he made an appointment with Li Xian to fight cocks, and Li Xian temporarily had something to arrive a little later. When Li Xian saw Wang Bo standing next to him, he smiled and asked, "Zi'an, the King of England will not arrive until later, and now there is still some time, how about you write me an article?" ”
Wang Bo replied, "What article does King Pei want me to write?" ”
Li Xian laughed, pointed to the big rooster next to him and said, "Why don't you write an article about cockfighting?" ”
Wang Bo replied, "Yes, it is just written to help the king of Pei and the king of England fight each other." So Wang Bo wrote an article about cockfighting. The article is as follows:
Gai Wen Pleiades, famous in Liesu, allowed to be the bell of Yang De. Ascending to the heavens is like zhongfu, and the actual han yin is taken. Obscure and oh, it can wake up my dream soul; in the face of wind and rain and glue, the most enough to increase people's thoughts. Under the window of the sect, Le Xing talked; in front of Zu Ti's bed, it was a dance. Xiao Qi's form is thought to be a man, and the dynasty has a person who reports; the form of the festival is crowned, and the holy door is called a brave man.
Qin Guan sang early, the safety of qing gongzi; Qi Jing Changming, Zhiqun Li's life gathering. If there is a doubt, it is recommended to the gods, and the pardon is set on the pole. Attached to Liu An's house to ascend, it became a fairy seed; from the song Qing's temple, it was often accompanied by children. Birds of The Way, birds of the ordinary.
Wen Ding Wuzu, Wu De Jian Tui Yu Tian Rao; Female Overlord King, Erbao Chengxiang Yu YinShi. Mai Seed Shouyun Zhu Zhu, incarnated more zhu Zhu. The flies are so vicious that they can steal their trumpets. That is, if there is a momentum in continuous flight, why should the foot of the tail be broken?
The body is far from the gold, the invitation is already extreme; the wing Shu claw is fighting, and the fight is resigned? Although Ji Hao is a doctor, and Ji Ji is like an enemy country. Two males can't stand side by side, how dare one peck at itself? Cultivate at the time of perching, and be angry at the time of the call. If you look at the wood, you will lift your toes and be proud; you should be like a god, and you will not feel that jiri is high and your head is down.
In the village and in the shop, those who see dissidents will attack; for the stork is a goose, and the same kind of people will win. He was brave and brave, and led the way to curb Zhang Zhang. The multitude is divided into different parts, and the vows are hairless; that is, the strengths and weaknesses are different, and the faith has a beak. Standing tall, the drum wings used to be like pengs. When fighting is done, it can be used immediately to charge the public meal; the descent is exhausted, and it is better to allow the other to cry.
Will you be ordered to pay the kitchen, which is nothing less than the soul flying soup fire. Yu Shu arrived quickly, and was shocked to hear the sound of geese and ducks; the blood battle was successful, and the eagles and birds were quickly watched. The chicken in Yan Xi is willing to be ashamed of its mouth, and the tree is a chicken monument, and it will taste its ribs without abandoning it. If the order of the chicken is blocked, the punishment of the chicken factory shall be corrected. Those who are cursed in the morning and who ask for the family are no longer the same as the beasts; those who are females and scum will be killed, and they will be cut with a cattle knife. This one.
The first half of the paragraph probably means to praise all chickens, from the chicken singing dog thieves in the Warring States to the chicken dogs of Liu An in the Western Han Dynasty ascending to heaven; from the male and female king of Qin to the mythical and legendary Zhu Chicken Weng, all of which show the importance of chickens to human beings.
The second half is a special praise for cockfighting, first describing the scene of cockfighting, and then describing the fate of the chicken that lost the battle.
Li Xian was very happy to see this article, and even gave the article a name, called "Huangying Wang Chicken Text". When the king came, he showed it to the king, and the king praised wang Bo as a ghost.
The article was quickly passed to Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, who was very unhappy when he saw it, and angrily said, "Crooked talent, crooked talent." The two princes did not learn any techniques and ran to fight cocks, and Wang Bo, as a waiter of the Pei King, not only did not dissuade him, but also wrote such a fictional and exaggerated article, such a person must not stay in the Pei King's Mansion. ”
In this way, Wang Bo was driven out of Chang'an and never returned.
In fact, at that time, Wang Bo and Li Xian, the King of Pei, were just young people, so why did they anger Emperor Gaozong of Tang so much? The main reason was because of the bad traditions of the Tang Dynasty royal family at that time.
From Li Shimin to Li Zhi, they were not orthodox princes, but stepped on their brothers to ascend to the throne, so Li Zhi very much hoped that his sons would love each other. Wang Bo's "Chicken Text of the King of Qiying" nakedly wrote the words that the loser must be killed and must be cursed, which is estimated to have stung Li Zhi's heart.
Therefore, Li Zhicai was furious and severely punished Wang Bo, the initiator, and drove him out of Chang'an, not allowing him to return for the rest of his life. Of course, this is just Lao Ye's family talk, I hope to see everyone's opinion in the comment area.
After that, Wang Bo was framed by others, and his father was assigned to the mating toe. On his way back from visiting his father, he accidentally fell into the water at sea and drowned. He was only twenty-seven years old.
