Li Shangyin's "History of Yong" said
"Three hundred years ago, with Xiao Meng, where was the dragon disk in Zhongshan?" ”
Some feng shui masters believe that he is not only a poet but also a genius.
In the Tang Dynasty where he was located, Nanjing was already the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, but it was all a short-lived small dynasty, so it was no wonder that there was such a sigh.
But the people who later built the capital here did not believe in evil, but history convinced them again and again with facts.
Once called Jinling (the ancient name of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), a splendid and prosperous place,
During the Great Split of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was again chosen as the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was in a quiet corner of the smoke-filled Land of China, with miraculous happiness and richness and a flourishing literary style. The three generations of lords had a penchant for literature and art and all had a high degree of artistic accomplishment, advocating civil rule and courtesy to scribes.
This divided regime, which enjoyed only thirty-nine years of the country, enjoyed the same attention as the Great Unification Dynasty in history because of its outstanding contribution to the development of Jiangnan and its splendid culture.
In 937, the first year of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was his grandfather Li Fu who established the Southern Tang.
At the beginning of July of that year, Li Yusheng went to the emperor's family, had the honor of growing up in a gentle and rich township, and indulged in the literary and artistic world of poetry, calligraphy and painting since childhood.
Later, li Yu just became an adult and married the daughter of the prime minister, Emperor Zhou'e, and the famous lady Xiu Xiu could sing and dance, show her wisdom, and be talented and beautiful, which can be described as a combination of pearls.
Together, the two of them repaired the Shengshi Immortal Song "Neon Dress Feather Song" that was scattered due to the war, the husband and wife's "Invitation to Drunken Dance Break", and "Hate Comes Late Broken" after rehearsal in the court, which was even more popular among the people.
At this time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was already worried about internal and external troubles. Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was forced by the force of Later Zhou to cut off the land and claim the title of vassal, and Nagong was a security guard. The monarch, who had passed on his extraordinary literary and artistic talents to his son, died the following year after the Northern Song Dynasty replaced him.
After Li Yu succeeded to the throne, he did not only know pleasure and did not care about political affairs, as later generations criticized.
He loved the people like a son, decreed that taxes should be reduced, that they should be exempted from servitude, and that they would live with the people. He began to believe in Buddhism from a young age, was kind in heart, good at life and abstained from killing, and treated his subjects with leniency.
Among his ministers were many talented people, Feng Yanwei, who was as good at songwriting as he was, Han Xizai and Erxu (徐铉, Xu Kai), and the author of one of the ten famous paintings "Han Xizai's Night Feast", the great painter Gu Hongzhong.
In his third year as emperor, After the Great Zhou Dynasty (the eldest daughter of Emperor Zhouzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty), he suffered from the premature death of his young son and became seriously ill, and Li Yu served soup medicine for his beloved wife.
But the day is not a holiday, the absolute beauty disappears in the Southern Tang court with flowers and moons in the Fanghua years, and death can freeze beautiful things in eternity.
Compared with her sister Xiao Zhouhou, who served with her husband, she was undoubtedly lucky to be saddled with the desolation of the country and the pain of her deceased husband and the death of another country. Later, the Lord composed the "Elegy" for his deceased wife: "The pearl is broken in front of the treasure, and the flower is withered in the spring." The hatred in his heart did not disappear, and he lost his palm in the middle of his body. ”
Li Yu continued his father's approach in diplomacy to the Northern Song Dynasty, and regarded the Song as Zhengshuo and paid tribute for many years, in order to be able to protect the country and continue to be sheji. But Zhao Kuangyin said: "In the place of the bed, it is not allowed for others to snore." "Extinguished his fantasies.
At the end of 975,
After nearly a year of fierce fighting between the armies of the Southern Tang and Northern Song Dynasties, jinling city was destroyed, and the palace people were later ordered to burn the books in the palace. Originally going to be martyred, he surrendered so that the people in the capital would not be ravaged by the Song army.
In the early spring of the following year, he and his family were captured and sent to Beijing, where Taizu Song gave him a mocking title of Marquis of Disobedience. He lost his personal freedom and spent all his days thinking about the beautiful lakes and mountains of his hometown in the rough and desolate Central Plains. Leaning on the railing alone to look at jiangnan, spring flowers splashing tears, autumn moon with resentment, the book angrily put the hatred of the country and the family into the pen, a que and blood and tears to remember the words of the homeland, telling the many helplessness after his despair.
And a few of the kings of the fallen country who were captured like him, but rationally flattered the new lord, ate, drank and had fun, which seemed absurd, but in fact it was Mingzhe who protected himself.
It was the seventh day of the first month of July, the most fatal day for him. In previous years, in the palace of the homeland, he would use red and white silk to make the shape of the moon palace heavenly river, the concubine palace women filled the palace, singing and dancing in the evening, drinking and listening to songs, riding on horses, and the spring breeze of the flower moon.
The old day is repeated, but this night is no longer the same, he gave the new work "Yu Meiren, Spring Flower and Autumn Moon" to Ge Ji to play and sing, in a trance, did he think of his deceased wife who was good at playing the pipa? In previous years, when I watched her dance in the neon feather dance,
However, he did not expect that he would return to the same place as Tang Xuanzong, the author of this song. Although Emperor Xuanzong did not become the king of the country, he caused the Anshi Rebellion after the absurd politics, and lost his lover and imperial power at the same time after the Ma Songpo Incident, and the later lord also felt the same at this time.
A sentence in the song:
"The homeland can't look back at the moon and the middle of the moon"
, mourning bitterly, hearing the sound of tears of fear. correct
The partition wall has ears, and it is discovered by Song Taizong that this Ninth Five-Year Supreme Lord, who has usurped the throne in the shadow of the axe candle, angrily sent a cup of imperial wine that seeped into the machine medicine.
After the Lord looked at the heavens, and the night sky was as cold as a hook, he lowered his head and smiled miserably, with the calm of his life on his face, he lifted his wine glass and drank it all.
After a violent convulsion and trembling, he lay buried with his homeland in the long river of history...
