In 757, the second year of Tang Zhide, Yamen, Huaikou County.
In the courtroom, a purple-clad official was sitting precariously, his eyes deep and thoughtful. The government officials held their staffs on both sides, holding their breath, and the whole public hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
syllable! With a loud bang, the sound of the startling wood broke the suffocating silence.
"Bring the criminal Lu Qiuxiao up"! The purple-clad official gave an order. A prisoner who looked like a dead dog was escorted by the officials of the two governments and thrown into the middle of the court.
"Adult spare your life, I have an eighty-year-old mother to raise, and the next one..." Lu QiuXiao prostrated his head and pounded garlic.
"Who will raise Wang Changling's old mother?" The purple-clad official impatiently interrupted Lu Qiuxiao's plea for forgiveness.
Lu Qiuxiao was speechless, helplessly hanging down his head that was about to move for a while.
Wang Changling probably wouldn't have thought that his vendetta would be repaid so quickly.
Not long ago, when the 60-year-old poet Wang Changling returned to his hometown via Bozhou, he somehow offended the bozhou mayor Lu Qiuxiao. Lu Qiuxiao began to kill and brutally killed the famous poet.
Shi Zailu Qiuxiao's motive for killing was -- taboo!
It is no wonder that one is a famous poet full of talent, jade pot ice heart. One is a powerful earth snake, narrow-minded and jealous. Their encounter itself was a mistake, and there was also the turmoil of the times that was pouring fuel on it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > land for twenty years</h1>
In 698 AD, Jingzhao Chang'an.
Wang Changling fell to the ground with a small hoe in his small hand - a natural farmer of the second generation.
If You write a book with Wang Changling as the protagonist, then his first twenty years can be done in two sentences, because for twenty years he has been doing one thing - farming.
In 718 AD, the 18-year-old Li Bai was already famous in Sichuan, a household name, and Wang Changling was still farming; in 721 AD, the 21-year-old Wang Weizhuangyuan and the first, stirring up the Beijing master, and the 24-year-old Wang Changling ran to the Taoist temple to chant the scriptures and ask for the Tao. In today's terms, Wang Changling lost at the starting line long ago.
"Long than poor, is to know more about dangerous things" This is the answer given by Wang Changling many years later, too poor, and Li Bai, Wang Wei and other large rich families can not be compared.
The life of poverty did not erase Wang Changling's literary and artistic heart, look at his life diary of "outing" near his doorstep.
Title Bachi two songs
What does the waist want, the East Garden cut autumn leeks.
The world is no longer discussed, the lamentations and the trees.
Open the door to the Nagakawa River, and meet the fishermen at dusk.
Borrow the bald man, a few years also.
In autumn, the morning light is slightly dewy, with a sickle pinned to the waist, go to the small vegetable garden in the east to cut some leeks, the neighbor uncle also hums the mountain song to collect firewood, and in the evening pushes open the small courtyard firewood, the sunset is slanted to the west, the twilight river flows east, and the fishing song is sung late.
Encountering a white-haired angler and catching someone with a strong nagging, this sleepy day made him live a poem.
"Ling Er, when did you say that the Song Mountain Learning Path will be completed?"
Wang Changling's ears sounded again with his mother's urging, and he couldn't remember the first time her mother had said such a thing to him.
"Mother, the child is reluctant to leave you and daddy."
"Silly child, when you go to Songshan to do a good job of practicing and reviewing, take the exam early, take your mother and your father to the big city to see, my father and I have never been far away."
"Well, listen to the mother, I will set off in the morning, and this time I will not deceive the mother."
Nothing is wrong, and the children are together.
At the intersection of the east end of the village, Wang Changling and his father and fellow villagers said goodbye.
Since then, this young eagle has flown into the vast night sky to create its own world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="194" > went to the border pass and threw pen from Rong</h1>
In 720, the 23-year-old Wang Changling resolutely bid farewell to his hometown and came to Songshan to learn the Tao.
Songshan was a Taoist holy land at that time, and the Book of Poetry, "Song is high but high, steep in the sky" is to praise its style.
Wang Changling's choice to learn the Tao was not to take the wrong medicine, and his head was confused.
Since Taoism was designated as the state religion by Li Tang, becoming a Taoist has become a trend, and Shi xian Taibai is a Taoist person.
Wang Changling followed the trend and studied in Songshan for three years, watching the 26-year-old immediately stand up, and did not make any fame in the Dao world, feeling like a salted fish, lost!
In 723 AD, inspired by the ever-changing weather of the Tang Dynasty, the 26-year-old Wang Changling began a roaming career. The following year, Wang Changling, with his faith in the prosperous world, left Chang'an in the west and went to the border pass to throw pen from Rong.
At the far side of the border, Huangsha buried the bones of a soldier who died in battle into the wilderness, and the strong wind dug out the bones again and again. The sensitive poet looked at the white bones in the messy basil, and the soldiers who had been eroded by the wind of the years, and he seemed to see himself. That small self that is wrapped up in the times, abandoned by the prosperous world, and forgotten by the world.
Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan, the Long March of Ten Thousand Miles has not been returned.
But to make the Dragon City fly will be, not to teach Humadu Yin Mountain.
He called out to the "flying general" Li Guang, and stopped Huma so that he could send the conscripts back to their hometowns.
"Mo Xue Ranger, praise the purple horse is good."
He warned the ghostly guests, Mo Xue Rangers, not to face the battlefield and grow old in vain.
But in the midst of the high drums of the world, what is the use of admonition, and who can hear the call? People only see the light of the world, but they do not see the shadows under the light.
Isn't it a shadow of a thousand bones and a side plug?
Only after searching, do you understand, understand, and be resolute.
Wang Changling rode on the edge of the river and walked on the edge of the blade, originally wanting to join the military curtain. This was the path of many literati at that time, such as Gao Shi, who was a contemporary of him, who served as the shogun of the famous general Geshuhan.
However, Wang Changling did not catch up with the opportunity to make meritorious achievements, and within a few years of his trip to the border area, the border war gradually subsided, and after several major battles, the Turks confessed to the Tang Dynasty and sent envoys to seek peace; Tuguhun was attached, and his chieftain led the people to surrender to Tang; Tubo did not take advantage of the war with the Tang army, and also temporarily withdrew. This is a fortunate thing for the country, and Wang Changling can only be regarded as unlucky.
In the autumn and winter of 725, Wang Changling returned to the east and stayed in a guest house in Fufeng (present-day Baoji, Shaanxi).
The innkeeper happened to be a veteran who called himself "Fifteen Campaign Frontiers, Three or Four Lou Lan." After years of not disarming, accumulating days without food", he told Wang Changling, now that there is nothing to do on three sides, young people still have to engage in Hanmo and rely on the examination to seek fame.
Wang Changling listened to the words of the veteran, collected his heart to study well, he could not only carry a gun to the frontier, but also a bully, and two years later he went to high school in one fell swoop, entered the army and entered the career path.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="195" > died of jealousy after many twists and turns</h1>
When Wang Changling was 41 years old, a generation of famous ministers Zhang Jiuling dismissed Xiang Xiang, and because of his sympathy for Zhang Jiuling, he wrote poems to illustrate it, which angered Li Linfu's party and was demoted to Lingnan.
In 739, he was pardoned and returned to the north, and when he walked to Baling, he met the poet Li Bai. At this time, Li Bai was 39 years old and had just returned from a trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The two had similar interests, so they traveled hand in hand, and before parting, Wang Changling was reluctant to do "Baling To Li Xii" to give to Li Bai:
Swaying BalingZhou, the Qingjiang river is rumored.
The mountain chief does not see the autumn city color, and the sun is full of water clouds.
After the farewell, Wang Changling continued his journey, and in 740, he met Meng Haoran in Xiangyang.
When old friends get together, Meng Haoran is overjoyed and busy setting up a banquet for hospitality.
At the banquet, there is a dish that has always been a delicacy that xiangyang people must have when feasting on guests - Chatou bream in the Han River, Meng Haoran has an old disease, he can't eat seafood, but there are old friends who come, where the bold Meng Haoran can still take care of these.
As a result, after Wang Changling left, Meng Haoran actually relapsed from his old illness and died of a serious illness. After Wang Changling learned the news, he was grief-stricken!
After returning to Chang'an, Wang Changling was given the title of Jiangning (Nanjing) County.
On the way to Nanjing, pass through Luoyang. There he met his good friend Xin Wei, who had left the land of Wu Chu and was about to return to Luoyang. The two of them were put down, and once they returned to Beijing, Wang Changling wrote a poem to Xin Wan:
Cold rain and river night into Wu, Pingming sent guests to Chushan Lonely.
Luoyang relatives and friends asked each other, a piece of ice heart in the jade pot.
The open-minded person will not panic because of the encounter, after being degraded, he is not complaining for the first time, but thinking that his family and friends will worry about themselves and be busy with relief.
For the next 8 years, Wang Changling stayed in Jiangning, and when Wang Changling was 51 years old, he was demoted from Jiang Ningcheng to Dragon Biao lieutenant because of "not protecting the delicate line". It was at this time that Li Bai made poems to express his thoughts.
Yang Hua fell to the bottom of the rules and cried, smelling the dragon marking the Five Streams.
I sent my heart and the bright moon, and followed the wind until the night Langxi.
Mountains and rivers are separated, want to see and can not see, that distance brings them a sense of powerlessness, only through the heart for the heart, temperament to temperament can overcome ah. Who can really understand today's people?
In 755 AD, Yuyang's drum finally sounded, and The Anshi army suddenly overshadowed the Neon Haori Song. The world began to change.
Until 757 AD, the 60-year-old Wang Changling left Longbiao and went north to return to his hometown. In the year of Hua Jia, he did not forget those friends, Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Gao Shi, Xin Wei, Wang Wei... On this road, he should go down the river and then go north. What happened to his old friends? Is there any newly covered soil in front of Haoran's grave? Taibai where are you?
Fate is uncertain, Wang Changling actually met Lu Qiuxiao in this chaotic world.
Fate is constant, and the jealous villain finally died under the stick full of justice.
Man has life and death, and there is no reason to come again.
Time and space rotate, and thousands of years have passed.
We opened the book and found,
Turns out you've always been there.
Always a jade pot ice heart.
