As the world knows, peony is a celebrity among flowers, graceful and rich, known as the king of flowers.
Peony blossoms are very beautiful when they bloom, and there is a feeling of intoxication, but few people know that Wu Zetian's least favorite flower is the peony flower.
Once, Wu Zetian took the ministers to the garden to admire the flowers, the flowers in the garden bloomed, it seemed that they all wanted to see the empress's style, but only the peonies had been blooming, which made Wu Zetian very angry, and directly ordered all the peonies in the palace to be burned, and she even moved all the peonies in Chang'an City to Luoyang.
As a result, luoyang has become a peony flower city, and every time the peony blooms, Luoyang City is overcrowded.
The ancients also had many people who loved peonies, Li Bai had a special love for peonies, and wrote with a pen: Famous flowers fall in love with the country and the two, and often get the king to look at them with a smile; Bai Juyi also thinks that peonies are the most distinctive, he feels: The only West Son, the only peony, the moon has a laurel, and the heavenly Qualan is the most distinctive.
Just as the so-called water shines on the flowers, flowers are flowers, people are people, but sometimes flowers are people, people are also flowers, for Li Qingzhao, who has good character, has his own style, and is known as the first talented woman in the ages, she can be called a peony in the flower.
Li Qingzhao loves flowers, she and flowers, into each other's beauty, blooming self, not living up to the stream, in the year of water flow that can not be repeated, she strives to live, want to live the most authentic self.
She enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the good day and lived up to every lucky bloom.
Li Qingzhao is a strange woman, but her yearning for love is no different from that of ordinary women, and in the end, she and Zhao Mingcheng are happily married, and the two have spent a long time.
Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao are the door to the door, the two are in love with each other, but Zhao Mingcheng still hurt Li Qingzhao's heart, or li Qingzhao died one step ahead of Li Qingzhao, Li Qingzhao in order to live and protect the precious cultural relics she collected, she cheated to remarry and seek asylum.
But no one thought that the remarried husband was a despicable villain, and the lyrics were helpless, and in order to get rid of control, she chose to go to jail.
Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng
The acquaintance of Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng is really a beautiful marriage, both of them were born in Shuxiang Mendi, they are the door of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and after marriage, the two also lived a very harmonious emotional life.
If Zhao Mingcheng had not been an official, perhaps they could have loved bai to the point of whitehead, but in that era, almost all learned people had the purpose of becoming a scholar, and Zhao Mingcheng was no exception.
Zhao Mingcheng was a cultural man, but he was really not good at being an official, especially at that time, the party struggle above the court was serious, after the death of Zhao Mingcheng's father, the Zhao family began to decline, cai Jing in order to achieve the goal, and even framed Zhao Mingcheng, the result was that the official position was taken away, and the family was also implicated.
For Li Qingzhao, it is precisely because of this incident that the two spent the most beautiful 13 years of their lives in Qingzhou, although their lives were relatively simple, they were happy.
During this period, they devoted themselves to the collection of famous gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, and every time they got the books and paintings of the ancients, they bought them at a high price, and then sorted out and surveyed, making great contributions to the inheritance of history.
After the Jingkang Revolution, the Northern Song Dynasty fell and the Southern Song Dynasty was established, but in the face of the Jin army, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty was not peaceful, and under the so-called nest, An had a complete egg, and the peaceful life of Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng was also broken.
Because the imperial court needed to employ people, Zhao Mingcheng was used as the prefect of Jiangning, Li Qingzhao was alone in Qingzhou to sort out the golden stone cultural relics, ready to go south to meet with Zhao Mingcheng, and finally she selected 15 cars to take away, and the others that could not be taken away were locked in the house by her, but not long after she left, there was a mutiny in Qingzhou, and her home and the cultural relics in it were also destroyed, which was really sighing.
Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruzhou
Li Qingzhao hurried south, fortunately arriving in Jiangning safely, but she did not expect that only a year later, there was a rebellion in Jiangning, and Zhao Mingcheng, who had received orders to be transferred to Huzhou, escaped from Jiangning alone without the arrival of the new prefect.
What was even more infuriating was that he walked so hurriedly that he did not even take Li Qingzhao away.
Li Qingzhao was extremely disappointed in this man, but fortunately, one of Zhao Mingcheng's subordinates at that time took action in time to quell the rebellion, which did not let Li Qingzhao suffer disaster.
Later, Li Qingzhao still chose to forgive Zhao Mingcheng, but not long after that, Zhao Mingcheng fell seriously ill and cried out for his life, leaving Li Qingzhao alone to take care of the golden stone calligraphy and paintings they had collected all their lives.
The Si people have gone, the utopian white head, in that chaotic world, how should Li Qingzhao and a female stream spend it?
The mountains and rivers are twilight, the style is old, all the beautiful past has withered with the years, and from then on, Li Qingzhao thinks that she will be alone, in the deepest gaze of the red dust, reading the remnants of life.
Li Qingzhao was depressed all day and eventually fell ill, and what Li Qingzhao did not expect was that during her serious illness, a man named Zhang Ruzhou walked into his life.
Zhang Ruzhou was an official at that time as the Right Chengwu Lang and the Official of the Auditing Department of the Supervision Army, and was responsible for financial auditing in the army, which was a very important official position, and he took good care of Li Qingzhao, who was ill, and finally moved Li Qingzhao and hugged the beautiful person.
However, Zhang Ruzhou is a despicable scumbag, and his care for Li Qingzhao is purposeful, he does not really want to take care of Li Qingzhao, but wants to get the golden stone cultural relics collected by Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao and Qi Chongli
For Li Qingzhao, the golden stone cultural relics are as heavy as life, and she naturally refuses to give them to Zhang Ruzhou, who is resentful and exposes her dirty side when she sees that she cannot obtain the cultural relics collected by Li Qingzhao.
He began to punch and kick Li Qingzhao, and did his best to use despicable means against this talented woman of all ages.
Li Qingzhao could not stand it, she understood that she was deceived by Zhang Ruzhou, so she decided to break away from this marriage, and at this time it was only a hundred days before she and Zhang Ruzhou were married, but at that time, male superiority and female inferiority were still the main theme, how easy was it for Li Qingzhao to want to get out of marriage?
At that time, the laws of the Song Dynasty stipulated that if a wife sued her husband, no matter which side of the fault was, the wife would be imprisoned for two years.
Between the disaster of imprisonment and the humble life, Li Qingzhao chose to go to prison, and after she collected evidence, she accused Zhang Ruzhou of cheating for personal gain and falsely reporting to deceive the official position.
After investigation by the imperial court, Zhang Ruzhou's crimes were true, and she was exiled to Liuzhou, Guangxi, and Li Qingzhao was also granted a divorce, but what awaited her was two years in prison.
In prison, Li Qingzhao thought of his friend Qi Chongli, who was a Hanlin scholar at that time and a red man in front of Emperor Gaozong of Song, so Li Qingzhao wrote a letter of help to Qi Chongli, which detailed his own experience and the encounter of being cheated by Zhang Ruzhou.
After receiving the letter, Qi Chongli decided to rescue Li Qingzhao, and he sued Zhang Ruzhou in front of Emperor Gaozong of Song for cheating on marriage, and repeatedly interceded with Li Qingzhao's talent, and Song Gaozong finally decided to open his eyes and grant a pardon to Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao stayed in prison for only nine days before she was released, she looked back on this unbearable marriage, more and more missed her husband who had passed away, she wrote this helpless "Slow Voice":
Seeking, cold, miserable and miserable. When it is warm and cold, it is the most difficult to rest. Three glasses of two light wine, how to resist him late wind rush! Yan Guoye is sad, but he is an old acquaintance.
Yellow flowers are piled up on the ground, haggard and damaged, who can pick them now? Guarding the window alone, how to be born black! Sycamores are more drizzling, dripping at dusk. This time, what a sad word!
At this time, Li Qingzhao finally understood that all the tears and reluctance were meaningless, and all she could do was to live alone and hard...
