I am Xiao Ke, today I will tell the story of Li Yu, the "emperor in the word", he is the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he is also the king of the subjugated country, and the posterity has sighed that "being a talented son is really unique, and the poor life is to be a king"!
In 937, Li Yu was born in Jiangning Province, the sixth son of Tang Yuanzong Li Jing, Li Yu never wanted to be an emperor, only wanted to be a happy runaway duke, but unfortunately created a person, with the death of the crown prince and several brothers, and finally the emperor fell on his head. After Li Yu ascended the throne, he immediately gave Zhao Kuangyin a "Table of Song Taizu on the Throne", and through song Nagong as a vassal, in order to preserve the foundation, he seemed weak, but he was not incompetent.
At the beginning of his reign, the government and the public were pessimistic, in order to revive the people's hearts, he reused the old ministers to stabilize the top level, he loved the people like a son, even if there were years of war and the national treasury was in deficit, he still issued an edict to reduce taxes, exempt from forced labor, and recuperate with the people. In addition, he ostensibly submitted to the Song Dynasty, but in fact adopted a defensive strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness and sticking to the city, in order to drag down the Long-distance Attacking Song Army.
When the Southern Tang and song began to fight, he immediately broke off diplomatic relations, sent troops to fight, and personally formed a command, but the Southern Tang state was defeated, he struggled to defend the country for 15 years, and now he was finally powerless to return to heaven, when the country was destroyed and captured, he wrote this poem "Broken Formation" on the way north.
"Forty years of home country, three thousand miles of mountains and rivers, Fengge Dragon Tower Lian Xiaohan, Yushu Qiongzhi as a tobacco, several have known Gan Ge, once classified as a vassal, sinking waist Pan sideburns, the most is the day of the emperor's resignation temple, the church still plays parting songs, weeping to the palace." Written by future generations without being amazed! Although the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, his literary achievements reached the peak.
After the southern Tang dynasty was destroyed, Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou were captured and went north, and the great pain of the subjugation of the country made his poetry reborn, sweeping away the confusion of the previous Huajian poets, after Li Yu arrived in Beijing, Zhao Kuangyin felt that he was no threat, rather than killing, it was better to stay and buy people's hearts, so he sent him to the suburbs to be put under house arrest.
During this time, the life encountered is not as good as death, whenever the night is quiet, homesickness, the pain of the subjugation of the country, it will come like a cone of bones, so a desolate and tragic, far-reaching mourning words of mourning the country came out of nowhere, the words were tearful, the words wept blood "wordless alone on the West Building, the moon is like a hook, the lonely Wutong deep courtyard locks in the autumn, the scissors are constantly rational and chaotic, it is sad, don't be a general taste in the heart"!
Imprisoned, the breath three years later, it was his 42nd birthday, Xiao Zhou later sang and danced for him, and asked to fill in a new word, he suddenly came sad from it, wrote the masterpiece "Yu Meiren", "When is the spring flower and autumn moon?" How much do you know about the past? Xiao Lou had another east wind last night, the homeland could not look back at the moon and the middle of the moon, the carved fence jade should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed, asked how much sorrow can the king have? It is like a river of spring water flowing eastward."
At this time, it was Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who was in power with a small belly and chicken intestines, and when he saw the words, he was furious, and immediately gave a bottle of poisonous wine and killed Li Yu, and this "Yu Meiren" also became Li Yu's desperate words, and after the news of Li Yu's death reached Jiangnan, the people all cried bitterly, which shows how deeply he once won the hearts of the people. I am Xiao Ke, pay attention to the history I give you will be different!
