Li Guangli was able to leap from a folk singer to the commander of the expeditionary force, in addition to Liu Che's later period of no one available, there is a very important point: nepotism.
Specifically, it was his sister, Mrs. Lee.
Li Guangli's hometown is in Zhengding, Hebei Province, and the four brothers and sisters in the family, namely Li Guangli, Li Yannian, Mrs. Li, and Li Ji, all four of whom can sing and dance, are all literary and art workers. At that time, the social status of such people was very low and despised, and they had an exclusive term: advocating excellence.
Among the four brothers and sisters, Li Yannian was the first to come out and mix. In his early years, he did not know what crime he had committed, but he was tortured by the palace and went to the palace as a eunuch in charge of raising dogs.
Don't underestimate the position of dog supervisor, as the saying goes, "seven officials in front of the door of the prime minister", not to mention the people around the emperor. I think that at the beginning, Sima Xiangru had the opportunity to be favored by Liu Che under the recommendation of the dog supervisor Yang Deyi.
Li Yannian was born in a musical family and is extremely talented in music, however, who wants to listen to his music when he mixes dogs all day long? He was not willing to let his musical dream be shattered, so he tried to seduce the emperor, just to make a face familiar in front of Liu Che.
Once, Liu Che and everyone discussed and sighed: Folk sacrifices still have special music, but now the imperial court suburban shrines do not have music, which is a pity. Some people say that in ancient times, there were movements in the heavens and the earth, so that the gods could be sacrificed with rituals. It is also said that Emperor Tai made Su Nu play fifty strings, and the tone was sad, and Emperor Tai forbade playing serpent but the sorrow continued, so he broke her and changed the fifty strings to twenty-five strings.
As Li Yannian entered Liu Che's sight, he gave full play to his advantages and composed and sang for various lyrics.
We all know that Liu Che is a hormone-filled person who loves two things in his life: Jiangshan and beauty. He had been a soldier all his life, his desire for land had never been satisfied, and the harem was naturally beautiful, but it could not satisfy him.
On this day, Liu Che held a banquet, and everyone pushed the cups to change the cups, and the interest was quite high. Li Yannian sang a new song he wrote:
There are beautiful people in the north, unique and independent, one look at the city of the people, and then look at the country of the people. Ning does not know the fall of the city and the fall of the country, and it is difficult for beautiful people to get it again.
After Liu Che listened, he was shocked, how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world, everything was just a fantasy. Princess Pingyang, who was beside her, slowly stood up and said: Yes! At the moment, he recommended one person, Li Yannian's sister, Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li's eyebrows are lightly swept like a distant mountain, the phoenix eyebrows are bright, Gu Pan is wandering between the souls, the exquisite nose, the skin is like snow, the vermilion lips are more like a little red plum in the snow, the arrogance of the demon, simply get rid of a human fairy who came out of the painting, not only is it a fall of the country, it is simply amazing. She sang and danced softly, and she firmly grasped Liu Che's heart.
In terms of origin, she was even more despicable than Wei Zifu at that time, and Wei Zifu was at least a maid in the Princess Mansion, but what about her? She was just a singer born into a poor family.
On the surface, it was a beautiful encounter, but in reality, it was the result of the princess of Binh Duong's careful planning.
At the beginning, Wei Zifu entered the palace was planned by Princess Pingyang, and after she entered the palace, she successfully gave birth to a prince and was promoted to empress, and the Wei clan was a five-marquis, and there was no difference in the limelight for a while. Liu Che was also very fond of her, and entrusted all the affairs of the harem to her.
However, with the passage of time, Wei Zifu's youth is no longer there, and the once delicate jade face has also left traces of time. When the two people are together, they are also polite and seem very angry.
Obviously, she could no longer keep Liu Che's heart.
It is said that the emperor's heart is changeable, and in the harem, if a woman cannot tie the emperor's heart, the end is mostly tragic. But Wei Zifu doesn't like to compete for favors, everything goes with the flow!
The relationship between Liu Che and Wei Zifu was looked at by his sister Princess Pingyang. Seeing that Liu Che was tired of Wei Zifu, Princess Pingyang decided to preemptively help Liu Che fill the gap in her feelings.
Soon, Li Yannian's sister stepped into her sight. Lady Li was absolutely beautiful, as good at music and dance as her brother, and easily won the favor of Liu Che and became the new favorite concubine.
Happy times are always short-lived, and after Mrs. Lee gave birth to a son, she has been frail and sick since then, and it didn't take long to be bedridden.
Watching his beloved person fall ill, Liu Che was also heartbroken, but every time he went to visit, Mrs. Li covered her head with a quilt and refused to meet. No matter how hard Liu Che pleaded, she would never let go.
Across the quilt, Lady Li said sadly: The concubine has been sick for a long time, her appearance has been ruined, and she must not see Her Majesty again, but only asks Her Majesty to take more care of her young sons and brothers.
Liu Che begged him to take a look. As long as she can meet him, she can reward her with thousands of gold and make her brother an official.
Lady Li still insisted on refusing to meet, and said: Whether or not to grant an official title is in the hands of His Majesty, not whether to meet with a concubine or not.
Liu Che was still not dead hearted, and had to uncover the quilt, and Mrs. Li quickly turned inward, hiding her face and crying.
Allowing Liu Che to repeatedly request, Lady Li insisted on refusing to show her face. Her persistence finally consumed all of Liu Che's patience, and Liu Che was unhappy and whisked away with his sleeves.
The sister who came to visit the sick learned of this and asked Lady Li: You want to entrust your brother and the crown prince to the emperor, why don't you tell him in person?
Madame Li replied: Where do you understand the heart of the emperor? The reason why I didn't want to see the emperor was precisely because I wanted to entrust my brother's affairs to him. I came from a humble background, and the reason why the emperor liked me was nothing more than because of my appearance. All those who do things in Israel, the decay of color is love to relax, and love is to be relaxed. Now that I am terminally ill, if he were to see my decaying appearance, he would be disgusted and avoid it, and how could he be kind to my loved ones after I died?
Instead of this, it is better to let him always remember my most beautiful image, so that the emperor will not forget me, and after I die, I will take care of them.
In just a few words, Lady Li spoke the emperor's mind. The harem has always been a warbler flying butterfly dance, beautiful women like clouds, random flowers gradually want to charm the eyes, the emperor is amorous nature, seeing a love is even more common. The phrase "those who do things in Israel, those who love to relax" were originally words that Lü Buwei said to Madame Huayang during the Warring States period, and has been quoted by countless people for thousands of years and confirmed by countless people.
There are many idiot men and women in the world, like Lady Li, who sees the emperor thoroughly, and this wisdom is absolutely extraordinary. Many years after her death, Liu Che can still remember, in addition to her appearance, but also because she is extremely measured, and will not be forgotten because of the emperor's favor.
After Mrs. Li's death, Liu Che thought about it day and night, and was infinitely sad. Sitting in the empty palace room, his mind was full of Madame Li's shadow, and her voice and smile seemed to be right in front of him.
Fish sinking geese on the road to the end of the world, the beginning of the belief in the world do not leave the suffering. This acacia is never-ending! To this end, Liu Che also wrote a "Song of Falling Leaves and Mourning Cicadas" for her:
Luo Gong was silent, and the jade was dusty. The void room is cold and lonely, and the fallen leaves are heavy. Looking forward to the beautiful daughter Xi, Ande feels the restlessness of the rest of the heart?
The cicadas were silent, and the palace was covered with dust. The bustling palace is lonely and calm, with fallen leaves fluttering and layers stacked below. The beautiful you that was once there is no longer there, how can I feel at ease?
After Lady Li's death, Liu Che thought about it day and night, and he asked the painter to paint a portrait of Lady Li, which was hung in the palace day and night to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Perhaps because he missed too much, once, Liu Che dreamed of Madame Li. Mrs. Li in the dream has a shallow smile, a pair of eyes like stars like a bright moon, dripping cherry-like lips, a flawless melon face with shyness and affection, a tender snow skin color, a light figure, elegant and elegant, just like the old days.
Liu Che burst into tears in an instant, he wanted to embrace her, but he pounced. A dream is a dream after all, and everything is just an illusion. Liu Che thought deeply and could not let go for a long time. There was a jianghu alchemist named Li Shaoweng in Qidi, who said that he had a way to get the emperor to see Lady Li again. Liu Che will believe it and doubt it, is this true? Li Shaoweng said that people cannot be resurrected from the dead, but I have a way to attract souls to see them, but the premise is that they can only look from a distance and cannot approach. Liu Che agreed.
After nightfall, Li Shaoweng lit candles in the sleeping hall where Lady Li lived, closed the curtain, and asked the emperor to look at the tent.
In the silent night, in the flickering candlelight, Liu Che waited with expectation, and just when he was waiting fast, a figure appeared on the curtain tent, and the posture and action were exactly the same as Madame Li!
However, before Liu Che could take a closer look, the figure of Qianli was already gone.
Liu Che looked at the familiar figure, and he was a little confused: Is it you? I got up and looked, why are you late?
Li Shaoweng said that he had summoned Madame Li's soul, but we all know that there is no soul in this world. It may be that Li Shaoweng let people pretend to be Mrs. Li, or used shadow puppetry to reproduce her image on the screen to alleviate Liu Che's pain of lovesickness.
Liu Che, who lost his soul and lost his soul, also wrote a eulogy for this purpose - "Mourning Lady Li's Endowment". This is the first mourning in the history of literature. The Han Dynasty was the era of the heyday of rhetoric, but also the era of big coffee, "Shanglin Fu" and "Zi Fei Fu" were written in a messy way, but under careful reading, it was the same as chewing wax. Only this "Mourning Lady Li Fu" is written sincerely and sincerely, and it makes people cry when they read it.
A generation of emperors, it is also rare to be able to use such emotions. Bai Juyi once wrote a poem "Lady Li":
Emperor Wu of Han, the first to mourn Lady Li. When the lady was ill, she refused to say goodbye, and after death, she was left alive. Jun En did not finish his thoughts, and the Ganquan Hall ordered a photo. Dan Qing drew out what was actually beneficial, and killed people without smiling. He also ordered the alchemist to combine the elixir and burn the jade kettle to refine the gold furnace. Late at night, the Jiuhua tent quietly, the anti-soul incense descended on the lady's soul. Where the soul of the lady is, the cigarette leads to the place of incense. If you come here and don't have to be bitter, the melodious melody will be extinguished. How fast and late to go, yes, Yefiyah did not know. The green moth seems to be ordinary, not like when Zhao Yang was sleeping. The soul does not come to the king's heart, and the soul comes to the king's sorrow. The back lamp is silent, and the use of safety is still in violation. Sadness is not only Emperor Wu of Han, from ancient times to the present. Jun did not see King Mu crying for three days, and injured Sheng Ji in front of The Heavy BiTai. And did not see Tailing a tear, Ma Songpo went down to read the noble concubine. Even if Yanzi is transformed into soil, this hatred will last for a long time. Life is also confused, death is also confused, and special things are confused and forgotten. People who are not wood and stone have feelings, it is better not to meet the color of the city.
Madame Li's death left an indelible pain in Liu Che's heart. Ban Gu wrote in the Book of Han that in order to make up for his beloved woman, Liu Che vigorously promoted her family, and her two older brothers, Li Guangli, were made the general of the Second Division, the Marquis of Haixi, and Li Yannian was made a lieutenant of the Auxiliary Law, and both were reused.
At first glance, Li Guangli and Li Yannian were reused because Lady Li died, but this was not the case. Opening the history books, Li Guangli was appointed as the general of the Second Division before August of the first year of the Taichu Dynasty (104 BC), because he wanted to lead an army to attack Dawan; And Li Yannian was a lieutenant of the co-law, and it was also when Lady Li was favored by Liu Che, not after Lady Li's death.
Why did Bangu write this? This is related to Lady Li's only grandson, Liu He. Liu He, on the other hand, will appear in the next book.
Obviously, Li Guangli, the general, was a bit of a snob and had almost never fought a decent battle. However, Liu Che still thinks that he is the best, because he is Madame Li's brother and her last resort!
Here we should focus on Mrs. Li's brother Li Ji. As Lady Li's younger brother, he often went in and out of the harem of Yingsheng Yanyu, and as a result, he came and went, and a palace maid sparked and made her pregnant. The defilement of the court was a major event that brought shame to the royal family. In anger, Liu Che exterminated the Li clan, but Li Guangli escaped the disaster because of the western expedition.
