A generation of lyricists, Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty
Forced to inherit the throne
Li Yu was the sixth son, and in order, the probability of Li Yu becoming emperor was extremely low. But Li Yu's natural vision: abundant teeth, heavy pupils (full forehead, neat teeth, two pupils in one eye) still made his brother suspicious. Li Yu himself entered politics, let alone became emperor. In order to show that he had no intention of taking the throne, Li Yu was immersed in Buddhism and aspired to the countryside. How could God have made a joke, Li Yu's five older brothers have died early, and Li Yu has ascended to the throne with a hard scalp.
On the side of the bed, do not allow others to snore
Li Yu, who became emperor, faced a mess, and as early as his father's time, the Southern Tang Began to submit to Later Zhou. Since Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiaoyi mutinied and the yellow robe was added, more harsh conditions were adopted for the Southern Tang, in addition to paying money and grain, but also sending hostages. Even so, Zhao Kuangyin still called out to Li Yu to drink. In the seventh year of Tianbao (974), Emperor Taizu sent an envoy to Zhao Yu to Que, and Yu claimed that he was ill, and Wang Shi marched south, on the pretext of sacrificing heaven, to invite Li Yu to Kaifeng. Offering heaven to heaven was a great ritual in ancient times, and inviting Li Yu to sacrifice heaven meant that Li Yu was a courtier and worshipped the heavens of the Song Dynasty. Li Yu was also an emperor, which was a humiliation. The literati were impulsive, and the impulsive Li Yu decided to tear his face off with Zhao Kuangyin and go to war.
Finally forcing Li Yu to go to war, Zhao Kuangyin's purpose was achieved. Li Yu is really not an opponent who can be compared with Zhao Kuangyin, Sun Tzu said: Know yourself and know the other, and never lose a battle. The bad Li Yu was just a momentary brain fever, neither knowing the other nor himself. Song Bing was still ten miles away from Jinling, and Li Yu didn't even know it. ay! In the eighth year of Kaibao (975), the Song army began a large-scale attack on Jinling. Seeing that Jinling was not safe, Li Yu sent envoys to Song one after another, and Zhao Kuangyin only said one sentence: Lying on the side of the bed, it is better to allow others to snore. This is the difference between the emperor and Wenqing. In December of the same year, Jinling fell. Li Yu surrendered. In the first month of the ninth year of Kaibao (976), Li Yu was sent to the Beijing Division. In the same year, the "Candle Shadow Axe Sound" Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died, and Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne.
When is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past
When li yu arrived in Kaifeng, he left Jiangnan. I think that at this time, Li Yu may have opened his heart and made frequent masterpieces. But this is at a huge cost. The newly enthroned Zhao Guangyi was no better than his brother, or even worse. Legend has it that Zhao Guangyi raped Li Yu's beautiful empress, Xiao Zhou, and asked the painter to draw a plot to humiliate Li Yu. As a man, How can Li Yu endure, but what can he do if he can't. Looking at Li Yu's words at this time, you can feel that Li Yu's heart is dripping blood. Chinese history has formed a habit from the Tang Dynasty, and the descendants are the predecessors of the Revision History, and it is the Song and Ouyang Xiu who are responsible for writing the Southern Tang. On the day of Li Yu's reign in Kaifeng, Ouyang Xiu did not mention a word in the "Five Dynasties History of Southern Tang and Li Yu's Biography", and Li Yu's death Ouyang Xiu did not mention a word. Perhaps Ouyang Xiu did not dare, Ouyang Xiu, who was also a master of the same generation, did not know what kind of feelings he had for Li Yu. The death of Li Yu comes from the Song Dynasty Wang Cheng's "Memoirs".
When the time came to the Qixi Festival in the third year of the Taiping Revival (978), Li Yu, who missed his homeland and suffered great humiliation, wrote a famous article Yu Meiren:
When is the Spring Flower autumn moon? How much do you know about the past. Xiao Lou had another east wind last night, and the homeland could not look back at the middle of the moon.
The carved fence jade should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed. How much sorrow can you have? It is like a river of spring water flowing eastward.
Zhao Guangyi quickly saw this word, Li Yu missed his homeland, this is to rebel. Give poisoned wine------------------------------------------------- Lead medicine: After eating it, the person's head will begin to twitch, and finally it will die in contact with the foot rickets. You can imagine how painful Li Yu was when he died. Born in Tanabata, died in Tanabata, but born in the imperial family.
Don't know what to call Li Yu, Emperor? The King of the Fallen Kingdom? Word Emperor? Or the King of Wu who was posthumously honored by the Song Dynasty? These titles were imposed on Li Yu by later generations, and perhaps Li Yu himself did not like any of them, and it was good to be casual and casual.
