1,000 years ago, a child named Luo Binwang was playing by the pond, and there was a group of playing white geese in the pond, and his father asked him to improvise a poem, and the little Luobin Wang recited "Goose, goose, goose, song to heaven without thinking." White hair floating green water, red palms plucking the waves" small poem, this year, Luo Bin Wang was only 7 years old, became a well-known prodigy teenager at that time.
It can be said that this catchy children's enlightenment poem has influenced generations of children, and even become the first ancient poem that many children can recite.
Decades later, Luo Binwang wrote another poem, "Cicadas in Prison", but these two poems have completely different moods and feelings.
"Wing Goose" only simply describes the appearance and beauty of the goose's movements, the poem is full of innocence and childishness, while this "Cicada in Prison" contains more sadness and bitterness.
The cicadas of the West Land sing, and the South Crown guests think deeply. Unable to bear the shadow of Xuan Sideburns, come and groan to the white head. It is difficult to fly heavily, and the wind is loud and easy to sink. No one believes in purity, who gives to the heart.
When Luo Binwang wrote this poem, not at home, not in nature, but in the darkness of the prison, why was Luo Binwang in prison? This speaks of her political enemy, Empress Wu Zetian.
During the period when Empress Wu was in power, in order to achieve her political goals, she did not hesitate to use cool officials and various conspiracies to suppress the opposition and remove one political obstacle after another.
At this time, Luo Bin Wang was a rather gengjie and upright person, he vigorously opposed Wu Zetian's iron fist suppression and ambition, so he repeatedly wrote to wu Zetian, with Wu Zetian's sensitivity and wisdom to politics, she naturally could not stand Luo Bin Wang's advice, and in a rage, she was imprisoned, and Luo Bin Wang's even more miserable life began.
In the dark prison, Luo Bin wang never changed his true colors. In the late autumn, he heard the chirping of autumn cicadas outside the Western Wall, and this mourning also conveyed Luo Binwang's grief for the political arena and his cry for himself to be imprisoned.
At this time, Luo Bin Wang was like an autumn cicada, the thick dew wet its wings, could not spread its wings and fly high, the cold autumn wind blew itself down, but in the face of this bloody and rainy political arena, Luo Bin Wang always maintained his noble and incorruptible nature, and his heart for the country's ice crystal jade never changed.
King Luo Bin opposed Wu Zetian's reign, and everyone in the world knew it. When Li Jingye raised an army in Yangzhou, King Luo Bin joined Li Jingye's shogunate and wrote a "Passing on the Heavenly Text on Behalf of Li Jingye", which was written with great momentum, listing Wu Zetian's "crimes" one by one.
In the text, the most fatal blow to Wu Zetian was this sentence: "The soil of a piece has not dried, and the six feet of loneliness is what to do?" It is said that Wu Zetian was also quite shocked after reading this article, and at the same time, he also greatly appreciated Luo Binwang's courage and talent, and finally could not help but let out a sigh.
In the end, Li Jingye's army was completely crushed by Wu Zetian's army of 300,000, and Luo Binwang never knew where to go, whether he was alive or dead became unknown, but this article has been handed down ever since.
Luo Binwang's life was honorable, lamentable, pathetic, and pitiful, and as one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, he was brilliant in literature, and as a politician, he was a worthy loser.
