Text/Zhao Xinfang
The Han Yuan Emperor Liu Yi (shì) sent Wang Zhaojun out to make peace, which fully demonstrated the king's fainting nature. But the crooked beating not only helps to ensure the tranquility of the country for decades, but also allows an obscure beauty to emerge and shine through the ages. Zhen is difficult for posterity to comment on yo.
The usual poem used in ancient times to describe beautiful women is "the appearance of the closed moon and the shy flowers, the appearance of the sinking fish and the falling geese". "Closed moon, shy flowers, sinking fish, falling geese" are four different kinds of beauty, and "falling geese" refers to Wang Zhaojun.
But Wang Zhaojun has a lot of sighs about what happened before and after him, right?
<h1>(1) The king is not a great man</h1>
Liu Yi was the son of his father, The Former Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Yuan, who was born during his reign.
A few years after Liu Ascended the throne, his mother, the former empress Xu Pingjun, was poisoned by the wife of the powerful minister Huo Guang. In April of the third year of the Di Festival (67 BC), the 8-year-old Liu Yi was made crown prince.
The successor empress was Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun, who, at the behest of her parents, tried every means to poison Liu Yi to death in her diet and make herself and Liu Qiansheng's son crown prince. However, under the careful protection of his father, Liu Yi escaped the disaster.
Although Liu Yi lost his mother at an early age and experienced twists and turns since he was a child, he had the protection of his father and did not withstand too many big storms.
Liu Yi began to receive a good systematic education from an early age, versatile, especially in music. But he had no interest in learning how to govern the country, and his favorite was Confucianism.
He reached the point of obsession with the subject, blindly applying what he had learned to practical life. To strengthen the rule of law in the country, it is certainly necessary to severely punish lawbreakers. Liu Yi felt unhappy and said to his father: Don't use the punishment too deeply, use Confucianism more. Through long-term observation, the old father thought that he was not the ideal successor, but thinking of his mother's tragic death, he could not bear to abandon his status as prince, and finally passed the throne to him.
O Emperor Xuan of Han! Can he inherit and enlarge your great cause of "Zhaoxuan ZTE" with such qualities?
<h1>(2) Coveting pleasure and misleading state affairs</h1>
An accomplished king must have a strong and gentle character, and Liu Yi only talks about leniency and softness. He had great respect for Shi Gao, Xiao Wangzhi (his teacher), and Zhou Kan, the three auxiliary ministers, and engaged in "pure Ren Morality", that is, ruling the country with softness, no matter how fierce the rhetoric of the powerful ministers, he was as good as a stream, and he did not blame him at all.
However, as far as the courtiers advised him to be diligent in his administration and the eunuchs tried every means to entertain him, he was uncomfortable with the courtiers and trusted the eunuchs very much. He granted great power to eunuchs, and over time a situation of eunuch monopoly was formed, and the eunuch leader Shi Xian colluded with foreign relatives to force his teacher Xiao Wangzhi to commit suicide and kill Zhou Kan.
In this way, the whole country gradually became corrupt.
The young Liu Yi was as affectionate as his father, the former Emperor Xuan of Han, and when he was crown prince, he was very fond of a woman surnamed Sima (司馬), and Sima Yi was very sad when she died of illness.
The old father was very anxious, not filial piety has three queens for the big well, so he chose some beautiful women to give to him.
Liu Yi picked Wang Zhengjun to be lucky for one night, and Wang Zhengjun (who was made empress after Liu Yi ascended the throne) was pregnant by chance. I don't know what the reason is, Liu Yi has been very and greedy since then. When the old father saw that he had grandchildren, he no longer cared about his affairs.
Now that the old father and the courtiers of good advice have all gone to another world, no one has to nag again, the face work does not have to be done, the ear roots are quiet, Liu Yi ignores the major affairs of the state and the suffering of Li Min, and is even more indulgent and enjoyed, searching for beautiful women and horses all over the country. Not much time passed, the harem had thousands of beautiful women, and the royal stable had good horses.
The former Emperor Xuan of Han, the country has become like this, Liu Yi bears great responsibility, the son is not the fault of the godfather, and there are also your big mistakes!
<h1>(3) It is difficult to distinguish between voluntary and forced</h1>
There are too many beautiful women selected to prepare to enter the palace, and the physical examination is responsible for a special agency, but whether to enter the "royal eye" can only be determined by the emperor himself. Liu Yi did not have the patience to call them to look at them one by one, and ordered the court painters to paint portraits for them, and to look at themselves when they had "sexual interest". When there is an opportunity, do not miss the opportunity, there is no opportunity to find an opportunity. The beauties gave everything they could to bribe the painters to paint them beautifully. In this way, the probability of "winning the lottery" can be greatly improved.
According to the "Later Han Shu And Biography of the Southern Xiongnu", Wang Zhaojun was named Zhaojun (王昭君), a native of Nan County. During the Yuan Dynasty, he was elected to the Court of Ye with the birth of a good family son. According to historical records, LiangJiazi was not a person who was identified at that time as engaged in lowly work such as "medicine, witches, merchants, and hundred workers". According to the interpretation of modern language, Wang Zhaojun was born in a relatively wealthy farming family, under the care and pity of his parents, living in the idyllic scenery of Maolin Xiuzhu, able to maintain his appearance, proficient in music and art, elegant temperament, delicate and vulgar, with a proud temperament.
The beauties who entered the palace poured all their bribes into painting, but Wang Zhaojun was unwilling to go with the flow and did not show anything. Although the painter Mao Yanshou did not speak clearly, he hated revenge, disregarded her outstanding beauty, and painted her appearance as a "road cargo".
"Three thousand miles of the homeland, twenty years in the deep palace", entering the palace For a weak woman, for a long time, she could not meet the king, and after the novelty was a long confusion. It was hard to be miserable, Wang Zhaojun couldn't wait to have the opportunity to walk out of this deep palace!
<h1>(4) Shed tears and bid farewell to sangzidi</h1> forever
The Xiongnu were a very strong nomadic people in ancient northern China, and from the Warring States period onwards, they often invaded the Central Plains.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, was besieged by the Xiongnu army and almost could not get out, and later adopted the method of peace and affinity to temporarily "shelve". During the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were driven far away. However, after the death of Emperor Wu of Han, he continued to harass. It was not until the Han Xuan Emperor dynasty that a strategic victory against the Xiongnu was achieved.
According to the "Biography of the Xiongnu in the Book of Han", due to successive years of internal and external wars, the national strength has been consumed tremendously, and the people have suffered greatly from war. After the Xiongnu were weak and civil unrest broke out, a confrontation between Zhi Zhidan Yu and Hu Han evil Shan Yu was formed. Hu Han was able to win a victory in the civil war by claiming his vassals to the Western Han Dynasty and with its assistance.
In 33 BC, Hu Han came to Chang'an for a pilgrimage, and in order to strengthen the friendship between the two countries, the Han Yuan Emperor Liu Yi changed the era name "Jianzhao" to "Jingning". Hu Han made a request that he be the son-in-law of the Heavenly Dynasty.
According to the "Later Han Shu And Biography of the Southern Xiongnu", Liu Yi planned to give a palace maid to Hu Han in the name of a princess. Wang Zhaojun had been in the palace for several years, had never met the emperor, and felt very sad, so he asked the court to order him to go. When saying goodbye to Hu Han, five palace ladies, including Wang Zhaojun, were summoned to Liu Yi's throne. Wang Zhaojun's human-like appearance that day made Hu Han evil fall in love with her at a glance. Liu Yi was taken aback and immediately planned to leave her behind, but considering that he could not lose faith, he finally had to "endure the pain of cutting love".
<h1>(5) Wang Zhaojun never returned to his hometown after he left the plug, and there are many stories about her</h1>
First, it is said that Wang Zhaojun wrote a poem "Grievances". Due to space limitations, the last four sentences are excerpted:
Father and mother, the way and long.
Whining, mourning, sorrow.
Here in modern language, the following is paraphrased:
Call out to my father and mother, the road for my daughter to get married is long and long. O poor daughter, full of sorrow and sorrow.
Second, it is said that Wang Zhaojun wrote the "Book of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty":
...... He spared the state's dethronement, moved to a lowly worker, and looked south to the Han Guan to increase his knots. And there is a father and a brother, but His Majesty is fortunate to have little mercy.
In modern language, I can only empathize with the humble female craftsmanship to pass the time, and look south to the border pass of the Han Dynasty every day, and only increase my sadness in vain. There is still my father and brother in my hometown, and I can only hope that His Majesty will show some mercy and mercy!
Third, it is said that Hu Han was very fond of Wang Zhaojun and named her "Ning Hu Fu Clan" (阏氏) (阏氏 is a Xiongnu word, meaning queen). After Zhaojun's death, her daughters Xu Bujuci, Dangyun Juci, grandson Da and Qu Su, nephews Wang She and Wang Sa, and others inherited her legacy and did a lot of work for the friendly coexistence between the Han and Hungarian ethnic groups. In the sixty years after Zhaojun's departure, the cattle and horses of the herders were all over the wilderness, and the people of the two ethnic groups lived in harmony.
The author sees that the posthumous news about her work, whether true or not, expresses the great respect for her by future generations and the deep nostalgia for her.
