In 937 AD, when the world was in chaos, the Southern Wu general Xu Zhixu deposed Emperor Wu and replaced him with Qixi in the same year, and a prince was added to the palace, because the whole family had changed the surname Li, so the newborn was named Li Congjia. Soon, everyone discovered the unusual thing about this child, one of his eyes was a heavy pupil, just like the legendary Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, so his character was called "heavy light".
Li Yu reigned for seven years and put a corner of the Jiangnan in order. The territory expanded to the extreme, but the prosperity was only for a moment, after which he was forced to become a vassal to Later Zhou, went to the emperor, and changed his name to the lord of the country. In fact, the national policy of their father and son was completely reversed, Li Yu did not fight, and Li Jing did not fight, which created a series of tragedies. At this time, the country of Southern Tang was already stormy, and the decline was obvious, not only the external troubles, but also the internal worries were higher than the waves. The crown prince Li Hong killed his uncle Li Jingsui and killed his relatives, and he himself died violently a few months later. As a result, Li Congjia, who was indifferent by nature, was pushed to the high position of the prince. According to the practice of Southern Tang ascending the throne and changing its name, he changed his name to Li Yu.
Li Yu was never a figure suitable for power, he was the king in the field of Qinqi, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, but in the political environment, he was just an ignorant young man forced to rise to power.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was dressed in yellow robes, had already begun to pick up the divided rivers and mountains of the Central Plains. The effeminate Li Yu blindly retreated, naively believing that he had submitted to the Song Dynasty and should not suffer the disaster of destroying the country. However, Zhao Kuangyin was bent on dominating the world, and even the little Nantang who did not pose any threat would not allow it to exist in the world. On November 27, the eighth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the city of Jinling was broken, and Li Yu wrote a descending table with tears in his eyes. Li Yu became the king of the dead country.
The days of the king of the dead country were full of all kinds of humiliation and cold violence, and he survived like this for three years, and it was better to live than to die. In these three years, Zhao Kuangyin died inexplicably on a night of "candle shadow axe", and his brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded him. The king of the world is the same thing, that golden chair, everyone wants to compete, as if they were born for this matter, and his succession is just a vicious joke made by God. Zhao Guangyi was a shady person, not only humiliating him in person, but even extending his greedy clutches to Xiao Zhouhou. The sorrow of the destruction of the country, the hatred of taking his wife, all of this is like a huge net crisscrossing the world, covering Li Yu in the sky.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of the third year of the Xingguo of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yu's forty-second birthday, all the sad emotions broke out on this night, and this fiery emotion was translated into words, which was for the song "Poppy":
When is the spring flower and autumn moon? How much do you know about the past. Xiao Lou had another east wind last night, and the country could not bear to look back at the moon and the middle of the moon.
The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed. Q: How many worries can you have? It is like a river of spring water flowing eastward.
As if realizing that the mood in the words was unlucky, Li Yu was also stunned for a long time after writing it. He looked up at Xiao Zhou, she had suffered a lot in the past few years, although she was not yet thirty years old, she was already emaciated. The husband and wife were speechless,
Xiao Zhou looked at the new word, she was already teary-eyed, she originally had a clear and good voice, after several years of torment, she was already a little hoarse, but it was more in line with the bleak meaning. The grudging song came out of the wall, and it had already been secretly remembered by the people sent by Zhao Guangyi to keep an eye on it, and quickly returned it. When Zhao Guangyi heard the phrase "a river of spring water", he was immediately furious, and he had killing intent in his heart, and this time it reached its peak. So he sent someone to give three cups of wine, and he had been waiting for such a day for a long time, and this wine was a great relief for him, and he drank it all at once.
Twenty-four years of Li Congjia, fifteen years of Li Hou Lord, three years of prisoner, forty-two years of life, came to an end on that night. In the same year, Xiao Zhou died and was buried with Li Yu, and the "curse" of "Poppy" was fulfilled.
