Li Shi of Tang Dezong (27 May 742 – 25 February 805), the eldest son of Emperor Li Yu of tang and the ninth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, reigned for 26 years and died at the age of 64. Tang Dezong not only had the same absurdity as the emperors of the previous dynasties, but also created the most emperors of the dynasties, and the "five women and one husband" had never come after the ancients, which could be called another version of the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Dezong Li Shi, like his predecessors, not only had three thousand beautiful ladies in the harem, but also often selected talented female beauties like flowers and jade throughout the country to serve as female officials of the harem, the most famous of which was the five sisters of the Song clan. In fact, the female officials in the harem of the ancient emperors were, to put it bluntly, the palace women who the emperor could summon at any time and had official titles.
Li Shi (李適), the eldest grandson of Emperor Suzong of Tang and the eldest son of Emperor Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty, was empress dowager Shen of Ruizhen. Li Shi's entire youth coincided with the most prosperous and prosperous years of the Tang Empire. However, when he was fourteen years old, that is, in the fourteenth year of Tianbao, that is, in November 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the following year Chang'an fell, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji fled to Sichuan, and from then on, the Tang Dynasty fell into a great turmoil from the peak to the bottom.
Later, when Emperor Tang ascended the throne, Li Shi was appointed Grand Marshal of the Terracotta Army, shouldering the mission of a final decisive battle with the remnants of the An Shi rebels. After quelling the Anshi Rebellion, Li Shi was given the title of Shang Shu Ling (尚書令) for his merits, and together with the famous rebel generals Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi ( Li Guangbi ) , he was given the Danshu Iron Coupon and dengling Yan Pavilion.
After Li Shi, who came from the turbulent life of his youth, became emperor, he felt more deeply the preciousness of stability in the world, so Li Shi set up the ambition of being angry and trying to be strong, and the ZTE Tang Dynasty. In order to realize his political ideals, he implemented innovations and was bold and promising.
However, many of his reform measures had little effect because of the accumulation of the Tang Empire after the Anshi Rebellion, and some of them paid a heavy price for it, although they had initial results. When his reforms were slightly frustrated, his original ambitions disappeared and he began to enjoy extravagant pleasures.
In Qingyang County (present-day Qinghe County, Hebei Province) in Bei Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous Song family that had been a scholar for generations, and the owner of the family, Song Tingfang, was good at poetry and song, and was famous for literature. Song Tingfang had a man and five women, but the boys were stupid and could not be taught, and eventually had to be with the people.
However, the five daughters are all intelligent and studious, and everyone is born beautiful and matchless, plus Song Tingfang taught women to be good, follow the good manners, and teach the scriptures and art texts, so the five daughters were able to export chapters before they were fifteen years old. The eldest daughter was named Ruoxin, and the second daughter was Ruozhao, Ruoxian, and Ruoxun. Among them, Ruoxin and Ruozhao are erudite and knowledgeable, their talents are outstanding, and their literary attainments are particularly profound.
Under the education and influence of song Tingfang, the father of song who is full of poetry and books, these five golden flowers are talented, able to write and poetry, talented, and famous all over the world. According to the Old Book of Tang, "The female scholar Shanggong Song clan passed on the female bachelor, the Shanggong Song clan, named Ruozhao, a native of Qingyang, Beizhou.
Father Tingfang, the world is Confucianism, to Tingfang has rhetoric. Born five daughters, all of whom are conghui, Ting Fang began to teach the art of scripture, and even if the class is endowed with poetry, it is not yet old enough, all of them can belong to the text. The long is Ruoxin, and the second is Ruozhao, Ruolun, Ruoxian and Ruoxun. The eldest sister Ruoxin and the second sister Ruo zhao are particularly light and beautiful, sexually rehabilitated and leisurely, and they are not still decorated with flowers. ”
The father had a good tutor, and the daughters were also smart and studious, because Ruoxin was older, more knowledgeable, more talented, and more profound in literature, and later Ruoxin replaced his father to teach his sister.
In front of her sister, her sister is like a strict teacher, and the five daughters are clean and self-loving, generous in behavior, and simple in clothing. Among these five sisters, especially Ruoxin and Ruozhao, who are outstanding, they are reluctant to marry the mortals of the cold country, disdain the appearance and decoration, Kaoru's beautiful makeup, and concentrate on learning, hoping to win glory for the family with learning.
In the fourth year of Emperor Dezong of Tang's reign, in 788 AD, Zhaoyi Jiedu made Li Baoqi learn of this rumor, which was very surprising. Therefore, he recommended the talents and character of the five sisters of the Song clan to Tang Dezong, and Tang Dezong immediately summoned the five sisters of the Song clan into the palace.
In the face of the emperor's summons, these five sisters were graceful and generous, and the answer was like a stream, and Tang Dezong was greatly praised by this (it should be said that it was the most appropriate to hold on), and the next thing was clear, Tang Dezong left all the five sisters of the Song clan in the palace.
After that, whenever Tang Dezong wrote poetry and singing peace with his attendants, he took the Ruoxin sisters with him. These five golden flowers, the snow flowers are bright and brilliant, in the Court of the Tang Dynasty at that time, it was really a momentary event. Tang Dezong admired the talents and appearance of the five sisters of the Song clan, but did not name their concubines, but called them "bachelors", and ordered Ruoxin to take charge of the literature of the six palaces, and added them as "Outer Shangshu".
The five sisters of the Song clan were favored by Tang Dezong in their lives, and the scenery was infinite, which was rare among ancient women. However, in that patriarchal society, these five bright and brilliant sister flowers are nothing more than the playthings of the emperor's harem. In Chinese history, there were not a few emperors who included sister flowers in the harem, but the emperor who could include all five sisters in the harem like Li Shi of Tang Dezong was afraid that he thought he was the second, and no one dared to recognize the first.
Emperor Li Shi of Tang Dezong, who had experienced the Chaos of An Shi, had served as the Grand Marshal of the Terracotta Army, and had also thought of being angry and trying to be strong, and zhongxing the Tang Dynasty.
However, he did not have the qualifications to be an emperor, and after encountering some setbacks, he was discouraged and retreated, and he had long lost the iron bones of his ancestors, and the fierce and majestic wind, and then swam in the sea of fragrant winds and flowers, and created an insurmountable feat.
