Zhu Huijun|Imperial Poetry 50 Lectures No. 13:
It is difficult to turn the tide of the king of Jiangxia
The rise and fall of an empire has its obvious signs, as well as its inevitable logic.
The sixty years of the Liu and Song dynasties of the Southern Dynasty (420-479) are simply two periods of "black and white". In the first 30 years, under the rule of Liu Yu and Liu Yilong, although there was a brief period of absurdity of Liu Yifu, on the whole it was thriving and changing with each passing day; what about the last 30 years? Under the tyranny of a mediocre and tyrannical descendant of the Liu family, the rivers were completely declining and the mountains were declining.
The poor Jiangxia King Liu Yigong was in the period when the Liu Song Dynasty was in decline. At the age of 11 (424), he became the champion general and the assassin of Southern Yuzhou, guarding Liyang and supervising the military of the other six states. Although he was briefly dismissed after the failure of the First Northern Expedition, three months later he took over the Southern Yanzhou Assassination History, guarded Xuyi, and incorporated the 11 prefectures of Southern Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou, and Yongzhou into the prefecture under his jurisdiction. Liu Yigong ruled as many as thirteen states, including almost all the territories of the Southern Dynasties in Huainan and Huaibei, and his power was tilted for a lifetime. He was 38 years old. Later, he successively served as Taifu, Dazai, Great General, Zhongshu Supervisor, Shang Shuling and other important positions. In the years when he put down Liu Shao's rebellion, supported Liu Jun's ascension to the throne, and assisted Liu Ziye in power, he also tried to turn the tide and restore stability, but he had no choice but to fall, and he and all his sons who were still alive were killed by their grandchildren.
Delving into Liu Yigong's tragedy, although there are many objective reasons, his subjective indecision and hesitation are also important reasons. During the First Northern Expedition, he commanded various Northern Expeditionary armies as a lieutenant and stationed in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou). When the Northern Wei army was pressing, he was indecisive and let the Northern Wei army swagger across the border, resulting in the failure of the Northern Expedition. After Liu Jun's throne was stabilized, he became more and more tyrannical, but Liu Yigong, who was only in his early 40s, began to become cautious, and continued to offer auspicious rui to welcome the nephew he had raised. Liu Jun died of illness soon after, Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne, and Liu Yigong, who was an uncle, actually treated Liu Jun and Liu Ziye's favorite minister Dai Faxing with low esteem. Only a year later, Liu Yigong, Liu Yuanjing, Yan Shibo and other ministers who took care of their lives were worried about the increasingly cruel and debaucherous Liu Ziye, and plotted to depose him, but he still hesitated, and finally leaked and was killed. If Liu Yigong makes a decision to kill and get rid of Liu Ziye's crazy obstacle as soon as possible, the Liu Song Dynasty may be able to last longer.
However, in addition to years of conquest, palace fighting, and governance, Liu Yigong, who is only 53 years old, has written a large number of books, which is admirable. The Book of Song is said to have written five volumes of the Essentials. The Book of Sui and the Chronicles of the Sui Dynasty are recorded as "The Collection of Wang Yigong of the Song Jiangxia in 11 volumes." The fifteen volumes of Liang and one volume of the records include the fifteen volumes of the "Collection of the King of Jiangxia"; the "Old Tang Dynasty Books and Classics" contains "the thirteen volumes of the Song Dynasty's "The Collection of the Jiangxia Wang"; and the "New Tang Dynasty Books and Art and Literature Chronicles" contains the "Fifteen Volumes of the Collection of the Yigong Collection of the King of Jiangxia". It can also be regarded as leaving some "legacy" to future generations.
The existing works of Liu Yigong are included in the "Texts of the Three Dynasties of the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Six Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms of the Whole Ancient Dynasty" and the "Poems of the Pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties", and there are still 13 poems (3 Yuefu poems, 4 five-character poems, and 6 residual poems), 4 dictions, and 27 articles (all of which belong to tables, enlightenment, music, discussions, books, answers, praises, etc., which we will not discuss here). Most of them have some value.
Last time, we had a relatively high evaluation of Liu Yilong's "Ascending Jingyang Tower". Now let's look at his younger brother Liu Yigong's work of the same title.
Danqi is set up with a golden screen, and the bed of Chen Wang in Yaoxie is set up. The Wen Palace is open in winter, and the Qing Palace is frosty in summer.
The weak stamen cloth is fragrant, and the light leaves are vibrant. There is little hope, and there is no end to it, and it is unbridled to look at Zhou Huajiang.
Like the que to the gallop road, fly cheap to look at the pond. Di Temple sent Hui Yao, Huai Liu self-formed.
Tongchuan overflows with light boats, and the long street is full of square boxes. Considering this, the bonfire is slight, and the sky is bright.
The momentum is obviously not as good as his brother who is the emperor, but he also has his own unique vision in terms of specific depictions. Among Liu Yigong's other surviving poems, there are also some outstanding ones. "The Wanderer" is considered a true portrayal of his life:
Three rivers wanderer, Liyan Maijingbao. Carrying the jade pillar zither, carrying the grass of forgetfulness.
In the sweet spring, gallop to Handan Road. Spring clothes wait for the time system, and autumn is cool.
Zhen Luhui has a plain wrist, and the jade traces are full of hugs. often sigh for joy and joy, and it is not early to be happy and sorrowful.
Spread the old beauty, and tending to the new good. Zhong Ni dropped out of the meal, and the king of Qin poured down.
When enjoying the brocade clothes and food, the sound of dogs and horses, it is still relatively sober to be sad and sigh. The whole poem is sincere in feelings, the text is concise, and it is a good work.
"Pengcheng Opera Horse Stage Collection Poems" is similar, but the feelings are a lot deeper:
骋骛辞南京,弭节憩东楚。 懿蕃重遐望,兴言集僚侣。
In the service did not flood, the time changed to the summer. Attached to the flow of the river, looking back alone.
The flavor of "The Emergence of the Self-Monarch" is stronger:
Since the king's outing, the bamboo container brocade can not be opened. Sijun is like a breeze, and he often wanders in the morning and night.
"The Emergence of the Self-Monarch" is from the third chapter of Xu Gan's "Poems of Room Thought". Guo Maoqian's "Yuefu Poetry Collection" includes four works of the same title at that time. Liu Yigong's work, although it is not as good as the work of the talented girl Bao Linghui, is still much stronger than Liu Shao and Yan Shibo.
Let's focus on his "Yan Ge Xing":
Jiangnan tour Xiang concubine, a slender Hanbin girl. Shu asks about the past and the present, and Lan Yin is charming and Zheng Chu.
Yao Yan reflects Changchuan, and the good clothes shine through the Hu. Seeking to look forward to Xiangxi, sighing to Hengzhu.
I didn't feel the feelings, and I scratched my head to increase the enterprise. Beihong lost a good match, and admired the couple.
Wandering and forgetting to sleep and eat, unable to lift his wings. Pour your head into the spring swallow, for my words.
(Brief note: Yan Ge Xing, the name of the song of Han Yuefu; Shuwen, Shumei famous; Zheng, Chu, the princely states of the Spring and Autumn Period, many beautiful women; Tonghu, the small river that communicates; Xiangzhu: Xiangshui and Shushui, the two rivers of Hubei; Hengzhu, Zhuzhou in Hengshan, Hunan; Beihong, the sad wild goose.) ）
Compared with Qu Yuan's emperor, Cao Zhi's Luoshen, etc., Liu Yigong's Hanbin girl is much closer to us. At the time of admiration, it also makes us feel affectionate, and even arouses our love and pity. This is a unique contribution made by Liu Yigong to women's galleries in China.
Liu Yigong still has 4 existing resignations, "Feeling Spring Fu", "Tongshu Fu", "White Horse Fu" and "Hualin Qingxia Palace Fu", which also have their own characteristics.
As the first king of Jiangxia, Liu Yigong still has a certain historical status.
According to history, there were 23 kings of Jiangxia. Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen were all sealed, and the latest was Zhu Yunxuan of the Ming Dynasty, who actually lived to the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The most "famous" is said to be Li Daozong (602-653) of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's cousin, and an important general in the early Tang Dynasty. In his life, he participated in many battles such as breaking Liu Wuzhou, defeating Wang Shichong, sweeping the Eastern Turks, destroying Tuyuhun, and conquering Goguryeo, and made great achievements for the unification of the Tang Dynasty and the expansion of territory. In his later years, he was "framed" by the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, etc., exiled to Xiangzhou, and died of illness on the way. - That's kind of interesting. The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others are now considered virtuous, why did they "frame" him, and they also got the favor of Tang Taizong, who was also virtuous?
From this point of view, Liu Yigong is quite loyal. After his death, he finally deserves to enjoy the Taimiao, which is also a "positive result of cultivation".
