In The spring of March, the grass is long and the warblers fly, the lights in weiyang Palace are colorful, the drums are sounded, the scenery of Empress Huo enters the lord, the car is grand, and the stars hold the moon.
When the hustle and bustle of the day recedes, the cold and frosty cold moon quietly rises on the branches, taking pity on a weak and silent four-year-old child.
His name was Liu Yi, the eleventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, known in history as the Han Yuan Emperor, the Great Han Dynasty, from his beginnings, from prosperity to decline.
Although he was a son of heaven, he had bad luck in his life, and it seemed that there were always dark clouds hanging over him, and he could not drive away, but he was really a poor emperor.
<h1>Childhood lacks love, loneliness and loneliness</h1>
His father, Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Qing, had a legendary life, grew up in the folk, and was suddenly welcomed into the palace in his prime and was crowned emperor. Although he was the blood of the royal family, when he first entered the royal palace, he was also cautious and cautious, and he was subject to the power of the opposition at every turn. Therefore, knowing that his wife Xu Pingjun had been poisoned by the Huo family, in order to make the daughter of the Huo family empress, he also had to bear the burden of humiliation and accept it all.
This is the cruelty of the adult world, but for a child who is only four years old, he only knows that from then on he is lonely, surrounded by only the majestic and indifferent emperor father and the eternally domineering Huo family. When a young mind suffers from uneasiness and fear, it covets gentleness and stability. Therefore, the gentle benevolence and good Confucianism, the eunuch who entrusted the government, is also the inevitability of fate.
However, Emperor Xuan of Han was very disapproving of the prince and often had the intention of abandoning it. Once, in public, he criticized him: "The Han family has its own system, which is originally a hegemonic way, but it is pure morality and uses Zhou Zhenghu!" And the vulgar Confucianism is not up to date, but it is good that it is ancient and not modern, so that people are dazzled by the name and reality, and they do not know what to keep, so why should they be appointed? Nai sighed, "Those who mess with my family, the prince also!" "Knowing the Son of Mo Ruo Father.
He later described his feelings as emperor in eight words: he was chestnut at night, and he was afraid of not being able to do anything. A person who is not suitable for being an emperor, but becomes an emperor, this should be the beginning of bad luck.
<h1>The position is not good, the disaster is different and perfect</h1>
In December of the first year of the Huanglong Dynasty (49 BC), Emperor Xuan collapsed. Emperor Liu Yi of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne. Since then, sixteen years of natural and man-made disasters have been continuous. In the year of his reign, the eleven counties of the Kanto region were flooded, and the people were hungry and cannibalistic.
In the spring of the following year, the Longxi earthquake destroyed the city of Guo, destroyed the ancestral temple, and suppressed the people. In the autumn of the same year, earthquakes resumed, landslides cracked, water springs gushed out, the North Sea flooded, and the people were trapped and exiled. In the third year of the first century, drought and zhuya revolted, and the counties rebelled. In the first five years of the first century, there were "alien stars", the sun was dark, the crops were under-harvested, and the frost was falling.
In the first year of Yongguang, the world was starving, the beasts were exhausted, and the Xiongnu people were hungry. Eternal light two years, solar eclipse. Yongguang three years, winter, earthquake. Eternal light for four years, reproducing the eclipse. Five years of eternal light, the Yingchuan River overflowed. In the same year, the Yellow River broke through in Qinghe County, gushing yellow water, rushing to the wilderness, killing and injuring countless people.
Three years later, it broke through to Guantao and Dong County, flooding 32 counties in four counties, engulfing 150,000 hectares of land and destroying more than 40,000 Guanting Minlu. In the winter of the third year of Jianzhao, the Qichu earthquake broke the trees, and the house collapsed. In the fourth year of Jianzhao, the Lantian earthquake, the dam blockage, the collapse of the embankment, and the obstruction of the flow of the jing water.
Nature ruthlessly toyed with the Han Yuan Emperor, and the Jiangshan he was in charge of had many disasters and difficulties, which made him "tremble and tremble, think about it at night, and dare not be desolate", he reduced his diet, used less yuan horses, and withdrew lefu, but it could not save the Han Dynasty that had been founded for a long time, full of drawbacks, and was declining day by day. Dynasties have dynastic cycles, and history has historical laws.
Poor decision-making, every decision is lost
Emperor Yuan was a good man, but he was also a good man, but he "restrained Wen Yi and traveled continuously", so he could not be a good emperor.
In the autumn of the second year of Yongguang, the Qiang rebellion, the right general Feng Fengshi volunteered to go out on a campaign and demanded 60,000 soldiers and horses from Emperor Yuan. The chancellor and the imperial masters did not allow it, saying that the autumn harvest was imminent, and there were not enough manpower, so they could only get 10,000 horses. General Feng argued again, the two sides could not stand each other, and Emperor Yuan was also embarrassed and unable to make decisions. In the end, Yu Yu could only say quietly: "Just levy twelve thousand, give two thousand more." ”
General Feng had no choice but to lead his army forward, and the first battle was killed by the Qiang soldiers. Rushing back to Beijing, Emperor Yuan was annoyed that he did not listen to the general's words, causing losses to the general. Sixty thousand reinforcements were sent to salvage the situation. Emperor Yuan's indecisiveness and lack of evidence can be seen.
Emperor Yuan was a young but confucian, and he once said to Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty's punishment is too deep, and it is advisable to use Confucianism." And his father reprimanded, "The Han family has its own system, originally based on the overlord Tao, but pure Ren Moral Teaching, use Zhou Zhenghu!" Mess with my family, prince also! However, Emperor Yuan still had his own political ideals, and he deeply hoped that all the people in the world could understand the great righteousness of the scriptures, so he thought that the world was peaceful and prosperous.
Therefore, he ordered that as long as the Guangjin Taixue met the standards of good learning, he could be recommended by the county to study in Chang'an without an unlimited quota. However, Emperor Yuan had no ideals and no rational plan to realize them, so that a few years later, due to insufficient financial resources, this idea was only an idea.
<h1>Lost, Zhaojun came out</h1>
"The great road is ruined, there is benevolence and righteousness; there is wisdom and wisdom, there is great hypocrisy; there are six relatives who are not in harmony, there is filial piety; the country is in turmoil, and there are loyal subjects." If the Son of Heaven is indecisive, then there must be someone who is bold and courageous among the ministers.
In the third year of Jianzhao, the Western Regions capital protected Gan's longevity, Chen Tang first beheaded and then played, falsely transmitted the Holy Will, sent soldiers belonging to the Western Regions, and killed Zhi Zhidanyu. Seeing that Zhi Zhi had already paid the punishment, Hu Han evil Shan naturalized Mu Yi and prostrated his head on the pilgrimage in order to seek peace and affection.
In order to protect the border chief without military revolution, Emperor Yuan "gave Shan Yu the title of King of the Imperial Household as the Fu Clan" and changed his era name to Jingning. At this time, the Han Yuan Emperor discovered that Zhaojun was actually a national color tianxiang, and was later classified as one of the four beauties of ancient China.
How many people have encountered a beautiful thing once in a thousand years, and they have been painted by court painters. Such a back of luck is also a rare encounter among the emperors of the ages. It is precisely because of this that the other three beauties are regarded as tools of power struggle, and only Wang Zhaojun's body carries a kind of national righteousness, which makes future generations endlessly admire.
According to the statistics of predecessors, in the past two thousand years, there have been more than 700 poems about Yongwang Zhaojun, about 40 kinds of novels and operas, and about 500 famous literati involved. The most famous is Du Fu's "Yonghuai Monuments":
The mountains and mountains went to Jingmen, and the village of MingFei still had a village.
Once you go to Zitai Lianshuo Desert, leave Aozuka alone towards dusk.
Draw a picture to recognize the spring wind surface, and return to the night moon soul in the air.
Senzai pipa as nonsense, clear resentment in the middle of the song.
However, Sun Rui's epic poem "Zhaojun" is very creative and unconventional, so it is recorded together:
Mo complained that Chan Juan had fallen into dust, and the Han Palace Was generally spring.
If the royal Family rises from ling yan pavilion, Gong is the first person in Anbian.
In the year that Zhaojun was out of the plug, the Han Yuan Emperor was sad, but he finally finished his poor life of bad luck and trembling. There is no joy in life, and no pain in death.
If Emperor Xuan had appointed the Prince of Huaiyang as the crown prince, and let Liu Yi be an idle person who drummed and played the flute, then perhaps the breeze and the bright moon, Shu Shu Weiyang, would not be a beautiful thing in the world.
Providence is never difficult to ask, and human feelings are easy to be sad and difficult to complain about. May he not be born in the imperial family in the next life!
