Li Bai is a genius in literature and an idiot in politics!
The fact that Li Bai claimed to be Li Jiancheng's great-grandson was most likely fabricated, and the person who created this rumor was also blinded by lard, and even put this hat on Li Bai's head. However, if Li Bai is really Li Jiancheng's wild great-grandson, perhaps he really dares to write "Li Jiancheng's great-grandson" on his tombstone.
Who is Li Jiancheng? The eldest son of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was also the crown prince appointed by the emperor.
If you follow the script, Li Jiancheng became emperor after Li Yuan's death. History did not go as he thought, because he had a younger brother Li Shimin, who was also covered. The so-called two tigers must lose a battle, and Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin in the battle for the throne.
In order to cut the grass and remove the roots, Li Jiancheng's son naturally could not keep a single one.
Theoretically, Li Jiancheng should not have descendants to survive, and even if he did, he did not dare to publicly declare his identity. However, Li Bai is a strange person, in addition to writing a good poem, eating well, drinking, good sword, making friends, other aspects are very naïve, especially political aspects!
In 743, the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang issued a holy decree to Li Bai, ordering him to enter Beijing as an official. But he was very happy, and immediately wrote a poem "Nanling Bei Children Enter Beijing", which has a sentence:
"Yang Tian laughed and went out, my generation is a basil person."
Li Bai's three-dimensional sense of happiness jumped on the paper and was indescribable.
When the great talent entered the palace, Tang Xuanzong was of course very happy! The emperor himself ran to the door to greet this great talent, and personally brought him a bowl of soup as a sign of respect. The emperor was so favored, Li Bai could do a good job, but he was not.
The next year, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan were hey hey hey, on a whim, asked Li Bai to come over and compose a poem. Li Bai was not ambiguous at all, and at that time he wrote a book to Tang Xuanzong, all named after "Qing Ping Le":
"The clouds want to dress and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." If it were not for the jade mountain head, it would meet the Yaotai Moon. ”
Three poems came down, shocking all those present, and Tang Xuanzong shouted directly, "Good poetry! Good poetry! Yang Yuhuan was also trembling with joy. Li Bai, a horse ass, if he has a full score of 100 points, he should give him 99 points, and one more point is afraid of his pride.
However, after Li Bai wrote this poem, he was really proud. Tang Xuanzong sometimes asked him to write poems, and he did not go; he really couldn't go over, and he was also in a state of drunkenness; on several occasions, he was also tough with Tang Xuanzong's favorite minister Gao Lishi, which made Tang Xuanzong very unhappy, so he dismissed him.
Originally, as long as the poem was written well, Li Bai could go all the way up and ruined his future.
In 755, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Li Bai could no longer mix in Chang'an and Luoyang. On the way, Li Bai wrote a poem "Tiger Row", one of which was:
"Quite like the Chu Han Dynasty, the overturning is indefinite."
The government army and the rebel army are fighting happily, Li Bai actually used Chu Han as a metaphor for the rebel army and the government army, is this not saying that the rebel army and the government army are the same as the anshi rebellion? The loss was that Li Bai ran away, and if the emperor saw it and did not kill him with his own hands, he would have to let him peel off his skin.
This is also just the beginning of Li Bai's fancy death.
In 757, the Yong King Li Xuan divided the southeast and recruited soldiers and horses and accepted the Wise Men. Since the last time Li Bai hit a wall, he had not had the opportunity to realize his political ambitions, so he ran to the Yong King as a strategist.
In the Yongwang tent, Li Bai once again played his own strengths and wrote poems:
"Try to borrow the king's jade horse whip, and point to the concubine to sit in the feast." The south wind swept away the dust and quiet, and entered Chang'an to the sun in the west. ”
On the chang'an side, Tang Suzong Li Heng had already claimed the title of emperor, and was desperately fighting against the rebels, Li Xuan plotted against him, and Li Bai also helped him say good things! Tang Suzong Li Heng did not have time to take care of him, and once he had time, he would definitely set up a negative example with him.
Of course, Li Bai is a political baby, which is indisputable. Simply writing poetry and expressing his views on hot news can also be understood, but he should never meddle in politics, and also gave Yongwang Li Xuan a bad idea:
"The subject Fushimi saw the old capital of Jinling, the earth is called heavenly danger, the dragon is coiled and the tiger is standing, and the nature is opened." The world's crowned warriors avoided Eastern Wu, and Yongjia moved south, not here. ”
The meaning of this passage is to let the Li Tang Dynasty abandon the Central Plains and move the imperial court south on the basis of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. In the chaotic world, the emperor said that it was a high opinion, and the courtier said that it might be rebellion.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan actually agreed with Li Bai's point of view! In this way, Li Bai's rebellion was hammered.
However, The Yong King Li Xuan was also a useless guy, and just a few days after the rebellion, he was slapped to death by Li Heng. Li Bai saw that the situation was not good, pulled out his leg and ran, escaped to Xunyang, or was caught.
Tang Suzong was furious and ordered Li Bai to be executed. Fortunately, although Li Bai's political consciousness was low, there were many friends he knew in the imperial court, and under everyone's defense, although Li Bai was pardoned for his crimes, he also wanted to exile Yelang.
In the few years left, Li Bai even wanted to become an official. Fortunately, for some reason, Li Bai was not hired, otherwise he really did not know that he would cause death trouble.
Throughout his life, Li Bai wanted to realize his political ideals. After all, the poet is a perceptual animal, and politics is not suitable for him. If Li Bai is really Li Jiancheng's great-grandson, when he is young, he is likely to make this public and realize his ideals with a posture of holding his thighs.
In this life, Li Bai suffered losses in not weighing his own pounds, otherwise, will it end so desperately?
