Meet Huan Li Yu
Wordlessly go up to the West Building, the moon is like a hook. Lonely sycamore deep courtyard lock Qingqiu.
Cutting continuously, rationalizing is still chaotic, and it is sad. Don't be the general taste in your heart.
Mentioning Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, probably gives people the impression of an emperor who does not do business properly, with daily extravagance and entertainment, and the game is dusty. In particular, Li Yu's poetry makes himself appear frivolous and floating.
But in fact, there are many misunderstandings about Li Yu by posterity, he is not a good emperor, but he is definitely a good person, and he is also a very emotional person.
The children of the poor will occasionally complain that if there is an afterlife, they wish to be born out of the imperial family, have no worries about food and clothing, and be born noble.
But for Li Yu, the emperor will be only a kind of shackle relative to him, he is indifferent by nature, yearning for the kind of Taoyuan life written by Tao Yuanming, and does not ask about the world.
He can become the emperor, it is a completely yin and yang mistake, Emperor Yuanzong Li Jing has 6 sons, Li Yu is the youngest son, it is reasonable to say, do this kind of hard work of the emperor, the wheel can not turn him, but his 5 brothers died four, and the eldest brother Li Hongji is a fierce person, as the crown prince Zhao knows that he wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so he sent someone to poison the emperor who hindered his future.
Li Jing was furious, stripped him of his title as crown prince, and pushed the boat along the water, and Li Yu, who only wanted to write poetry and play the piano, took the throne.
Fate really loves to tease people.
After Li Yu ascended the throne, he implemented benevolent government, recalled old ministers, paid attention to the selection of talents by examination, and at the same time reduced servitude and tax burdens, and abolished some violent punishments. According to historical records, whenever a person had to be sentenced to death, Li Yu would burst into tears.
Of course, there is a reason for this, because Li Yu believed in Buddhism, even to the point of obsession, so he was devoted to goodness.
Therefore, the southern Tang Dynasty can have 15 years of stability, which is entirely the credit of Li Yu, but even so, his reputation is not good, because he is temperamental and romantic, and his early poetry and song endowments are mostly these works of flowers.
Here I would like to explain in particular that the wind flow is not chaotic, Li Bai, Yuan Shu, and Bai Lotte are also self-styled, and he is not Du Mu's "businesswoman who does not know how to hate the country, and sings the backyard flowers across the river", he is just a poor emperor who is deeply locked by the court.
He loved the people, longed for stability, and prayed that the Great Song would not attack the Southern Tang, so he paid tribute every day and took the initiative to show goodwill. After his death, the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty gathered in the alleys and cried, indicating that they still loved him very much.
Of course, from another point of view, the incompetent emperor, for the people, is itself a kind of suffering, the rise and fall of the world, all in his own responsibility, as we often say, the general is incompetent, the three armies are affected.
But history needs to be viewed from a dialectical point of view, we modern people look back at the dynastic changes for thousands of years, can we also say, thanks to the Song Dynasty for destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty, the world is unified? Otherwise, five generations and ten countries, China will fall apart, and we may need a visa to cross the Yangtze River today.
Existence is reasonable, Li Yu is not an excellent emperor, this is a fact, otherwise he would not have been destroyed.
However, Li Hou lord was not Chen Hou Lord, the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and Li Yu fulfilled his responsibilities, and it was definitely not caused by his greed for good wine, and it was unfair to impose such a crime on him.
As we said earlier, Li Yu is a person with heavy feelings, and he is also very obsessed. He had two empresses, a pair of sisters, one for Great Zhou and One Foray.
When Emperor Zhou'e was 19 years old, he married Li Yu, when he was still the King of Zheng, Li Yu fell in love with her at first sight, in order to write a lot of poetry Xiao Ling, and Great Zhou Hou was also proficient in the rhythm of poetry, the two can be described as a match made in heaven, so Li Yu ascended the throne, and immediately crowned her.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and when he died of illness at the age of 29, Li Yu married her sister Xiao Zhouhou, and his grace was greater than that of his sister.
Some people say that after the great Zhou, he died because he met Li Yu and his sister's private affair, which is an impossible thing, Li Yugui is the son of heaven, and it is also reasonable to accept Xiao Zhou, and it is also a supreme glory for the Zhou family, so the sister is not here, she is indeed dying of illness, although this may also be related to Xiao Zhouhou.
But the point is that Li Yu is not thin to their sisters, they are all exclusively favored, after Li Yu's death, Xiao Zhou wore a ma dai filial piety and cried bitterly in the street, which shows the depth of his feelings.
Li Yu's life is sad, originally he just wanted to be an ordinary idle person, chanting poems correctly, spending the moon before. But fate has pushed him onto the stage of history, he does not like politics, but he also patiently governs the country, so he also needs someone to understand and warm his heart.
If a person is depressed for a long time, he will definitely look for a way to release, so he attaches great importance to the big and small zhou hou emotionally, so that he bears the name of greed and destruction of the country.
When Li Yu was sick after the big week, Li Yu would personally feed himself at each meal, not leaving the bed, and the medicine Li Yu ate had to taste it first, and then give it to Zhou Hou, can you say that such a man is a person who forgets righteousness?
After Emperor E's death, after Li Yu spoiled Xiao Zhou, he built a special "first-class cabin" for her in the harem, covered with silk satin and pearlstone jade, and planted with plum blossoms in front of the window. Although it is gorgeous, in fact, the place is very small, only two sit down, and it is all built by Li Yu with private money.
This song "Meet and Greet" was composed after Li Yu was captured, before the dust of the past, a scene gushed into his heart, looking back on this life, his happy time is really too little, fortunately, before his death, there is a small week to accompany him.
No matter what kind of person Li Yu is, he has left a rich fortune for future generations, his poems are beautiful, and they have both the romance of the "Huajian School" and the artistic conception of the "Gentle School", and we want to thank him for his gifts to future generations.
