In the last years of Chongzhen, the peasant rebels in Li Zicheng were a great threat to the imperial court, and Emperor Chongzhen was restless day and night. Zhou Kui, the consort of Jiading Bo, wanted to find a stunning beauty for the emperor to relieve his anxiety, so she left Tian Wan, Tian Fei's brother, to seek beauty in Jiangnan. After Tian Wan found Chen Yuanyuan, he was fascinated by his beauty and took it for himself. Soon Li Zicheng's team approached the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen called Shanhaiguan in Wu Sangui Town. Tian Tian worried about peasant rebels all day, so he held a grand banquet for Wu Sangui's farewell party, and Yuan Yuan led the choir to perform in the hall. Wu Sangui was ecstatic after seeing Yuanyuan, and hugged Yuanyuan as the hostess. After drinking too much, three patrolmen reported that it was protruding. Go up to Wu in fear and say, "What will happen if you come?" Wu Sangui said: "You can see the gift with a round face, and I will protect your family first." Before Tian Tian could answer, Wu Sangui accepted Yuan Yuan's farewell speech. Wu Sangui persuaded his father, who was in charge of the imperial camp, to leave Yuan Yuan in the capital, in order to prevent his colleagues from causing trouble and let the emperor know.
After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Wu Sangui's father surrendered to the insurgents, and Chen Yuanyuan was captured by Li's men. When Wu Sangui promised to surrender to Li Zicheng, Wen Yuanyuan was occupied by Li Zhi's Ministry and shouted angrily, "What can a gentleman do if he doesn't protect himself?" So he surrendered and the Qing army went to war with the peasant army. This is what Wu Meicun said in "Qinyuan Qu": "The six armies are all lost, and they are angry and become a beauty." After Li Zicheng was defeated, he killed Wu's father and 38 people in his family, and then left Beijing. To avenge his father's death, Wu Sangui pursued the peasant army to Shanxi day and night. At this time, the Ministry of Wu will search for Chen Yuanyuan in the capital, fly it, lead Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan from Qin to Shu, and then monopolize Yunnan. During the Shunzhi period, Wu was promoted to the king of Yunnan and wanted to be a princess. Yuan Yuan excused herself and dismissed her, so Wu Sangui didn't marry her. I didn't want to be jealous of the princess I married, so I framed and killed Wu's love, and Yuan Yuan lived alone in another hospital. After falling out of favor, she gradually moved away from Wu. Wu had plotted to kill her. When Yuan Yuan learned this, he begged to have a haircut and embroider Buddha at Guo Hua Temple in Wuhua Mountain. Later, Wu Sangui declared independence in Yunnan, and Emperor Kangxi sent troops to Yunnan. 168 1 winter, Kunming city broke. After Wu Sangui's death, Chen Yuanyuan also sank into the lotus pond outside the temple and was buried beside the pond after his death. Until the end of Qing Dynasty, there were two small films of Chen Yuanyuan and stone poems left by Chi Pan in the temple.
Second, Mrs. Huarui was Fei Guifei of Meng Changjun, the late ruler of Shu, and was born as a geisha. After the death of Qian Shu, Meng Zhixiang was appointed as our envoy in the later Tang Dynasty. After Meng Zhixiang arrived in Shu, there was civil strife in the later Tang Dynasty, Zhuang Zong was killed, Meng Zhixiang's ambition expanded, and Jia Bing was cultivated. After the death of Tang Dynasty, Meng Zhixiang arrogated to himself the title of emperor, but he died a few months later and Meng Changjun succeeded to the throne. The situation caused by Meng Zhixiang's deliberate and hard work day and night reached Meng Chang's hands. For ten years, there was no peak fire, no war and smoke, abundant grains and rice in San Qian, all of them were ladies, who didn't distinguish between wheat flowers and flowers, and bought smiles for fun. In the imperial court, they even went on strike every day, drank alcohol every night, taught prostitutes and decorated courtiers.
Meng Chang is a person who knows how to enjoy. He recruited beautiful women from Sichuan to enrich his harem. There are twelve levels of concubines, among which "Mrs. Hua Rui" Fei Guifei is his favorite. Meng Chang tossed and turned in the ladies-in-waiting team every day. Every time after the banquet and the Song Dynasty, he had a little leisure. Together with Mrs. Hua Rui, he called the harem maid to the command, personally selected her graceful figure, gave her titles, and took turns to enter the palace. Her rank is higher than that of officials and scholars, and the monthly fragrant powder is paid by the director of internal reference, which is called the end of the month. When it was time to give them money, Meng Chang personally monitored it. Imperial secretary thousand people, roll call to send. Everyone goes to the imperial bed, hands up, and asks to buy them money.
Mrs. Huarui loves peonies and red gardenias best, so Meng Changjun ordered officials and people to plant a large number of peonies, and said: Luoyang peony is the best in the world, and Chengdu peony will be the best in Luoyang in the future. Meng Changjun didn't send people around to buy fine varieties, but opened a "peony garden" in the palace. In addition to accompanying Mrs. Hua Rui to enjoy flowers day and night, he also called ministers and held a banquet to enjoy peony. The red gardenia is said to have been sent by Taoist Shen, with only two seeds. It has red spots, six petals and a fragrant smell. Because it is rare, some people imitate the style of flowers and draw them on the round fan, but learn from each other. Whenever hibiscus is in full bloom, it is like a brilliant flower that spreads 40 miles along the city. Near the Mid-Autumn Festival, the late Lord ordered to drive to Huanhuaxi, where there was a water show, birds singing and swallows singing for a long time. This is really a romantic son of heaven, a historic event.
However, just as Meng Changjun, the master of Shu, and Mrs. Huarui were not riding bullets, they were giving a banquet to look for poems. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains, the German army and the inspector followed Guo Wei's example and staged a farce of "wearing a yellow robe" in front of the temple, replacing the end of the Zhou Dynasty. Song was the country's title, and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to build a long army and fight against the north, and the goal gradually pointed to Houshu. Mrs. Hua Rui has repeatedly advised Meng Chang to sharpen his knife and cure diseases, but Meng Yun always thinks that the mountains and rivers in Shu are dangerous and there is no need to worry.
In November of the second year of Gander in Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin of Song Taizu ordered Wang Quanbin to lead an army of 60,000 to attack Shu, and the 140,000 Shu soldiers guarding Chengdu were defeated without a fight. Meng Chang said to Mrs. Hua Rui, "My father and son have been well fed and clothed for forty years. Once they meet the enemy, they can't shoot arrows to the east! " Just after the Lantern Festival in the third year of Gande, SiKongping ordered Li Hao to make a sketch, and Meng Chang tied himself out of the city and asked him to surrender. Only 66 days later, Wang Quanbin sent troops, and the speed of Shu's demise was faster than that of Wang Yan, the former Shu who perished in the later Tang Dynasty, and both times it was Li Hao, so the loyal and resentful people wrote on the door of Li Hao at night: "Shi Xiu surrendered to the Li family."
When the green willow changed to Huang Shi, Meng Chang, Mrs. Huarui and Li Hao and their party were taken to the capital of song dynasty. After arriving in the capital of song dynasty, Meng Changjun was made king of Qin, and he was appointed as proofreader and secretary. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin treated Meng Chang so well because he had long heard that Mrs. Huarui was radiant and wanted to quench her thirst, but it was inconvenient to be summoned by the special line for fear of people's discussion, so he came up with the idea and rewarded Meng Chang, even his attendants and family, expecting that they would definitely enter the palace to give thanks, and then they could meet Mrs. Huarui. Sure enough, when giving thanks that day, Meng Changjun's mother Li Furen was followed by Mrs. Hua. Mao is very careful. He felt that as soon as she got to the front of the seat, a kind of incense ran into his nose. It's fascinating. After careful study, he only found the beauty indescribable. When Mrs. Huarui claimed that Fei, the concubine, had met the coachman and wished the emperor a long life, the charming voice, like the sound of a warbler singing in spring, was only heard. Mrs. Huarui also felt a little, so she took a look at Mao and bowed her head and retreated. The eyes are more charming when you leave, which makes Song Taizu full of energy. Seven days later, Meng Changjun died suddenly at the age of 47, which historians believe was poisoned by Mao.
When Mao heard that Meng Changjun had died, he dropped out of school for five days, released plainclothes clothes, gave thousands of pieces of cloth and silk, and made him king of Chu. When Mao saw that Mrs. Hua Rui was wearing white mourning clothes, she became more and more white. Jade bone Shanshan took this opportunity to leave her in the palace and told her to wait on the banquet. At this time, Mrs. Hua Rui, involuntarily, had to comply. When drinking, Mao knew that Mrs. Hua Rui could write poems. When she was in Shu, she wrote hundreds of palace poems and asked her to improvise them to show her talent. Mrs. Hua Rui sings:
My heart will be broken and I will hate it when I leave Shu Road for the first time. Spring is like a year, and you will smell Du Fu from time to time. Three thousand ladies-in-waiting are all beautiful women, who fight for beauty and learn to bun. Who knows today is a prophecy.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin listened for a long time without saying a word, drank three cups and said that you should write a new song. Mrs. Hua Rui thought for a moment, then opened her mouth.
The flag of the king's city was lowered. I learned it in the palace. One hundred and forty thousand people were disarmed, and none of them were men.
Song Taizu is also a hero: he sent Jingniang thousands of miles away and killed eighteen military states with one stick. At this time, I felt the yearning for Mrs. Huarui's old country and the pain of national subjugation, which deepened my love for Mrs. Huarui. After a few drinks, Mrs. Hua Rui's cheeks became more charming. Mao took Mrs. Hua Rui's hand and went into the bedroom together, and soon named Mrs. Hua Rui as the imperial concubine. From then on, Mao retired from the DPRK every day and went to Mrs. Hua Rui to drink and listen to music.
On this day, I left the court early and came to the palace from Mrs. Huarui. I saw Mrs. Huarui hanging a portrait, burning incense and kowtowing. Mao didn't know what portrait she gave, so he looked at it carefully and saw a man sitting on a bench, looking as if he had seen it somewhere. In desperation, he couldn't remember, so he had to ask Mrs. Hua Rui. The lady was surprised by Mao's sudden arrival. When he saw his secret, she was very frightened. When Mao asked, she quickly calmed down and replied slowly, "This is a portrait of Zhang Xian. Sincerely worship it and get a son. " Hearing this, Mao smiled and said, "My concubine is very religious, and I think Zhang Xi 'an will definitely send her children. However, although Zhang Xian is in charge of fertility, he is a god after all. He should be supported in a quiet room and a fragrant flower cabinet. If he is provided in a bedroom, it is an evil reading fairy. " Madam listened to Mao's words and thanked her at once. In fact, Mrs. Huarui worships not Zhang Xian, but Meng Changjun, the master of Shu. She and Meng Chang have a very loving relationship. Since Meng Chang died of a sudden illness, he was bullied by Mao. Because of the fear of death, she endured the rain and dew. Although she was favored by Mao, she could not do without Meng Changjun's kindness in the past, so she personally painted her portrait and worshipped in private, only to be caught by Mao and lied that she was. Pity those concubines in the palace. I heard that sacrificing Zhang Xi 'an can get children, so they all went to his wife's palace and drew a picture for them, hoping to have a prince and be rich from now on. Soon, the portrait of the fairy who sent the child away was out of the forbidden area. Even folk women draw a fairy and fragrant flowers as gifts when they want to have children, which never dies. In this way, Meng Changjun's experiences in the underworld will certainly be very grateful to Mrs. Huarui, and later generations have also sung about it:
Spirit is a god, and a little infatuation never dies;
The only thing that has been difficult since ancient times is death. Sorrow is not a person's, madam.
3. Zhao, formerly known as Yi Sheng, was a famous dancer in Han Dynasty. Because of her light dancing, people call her "Feiyan".
Zhao had a hard time at home when he was a child. She was abandoned by her parents after birth and was still alive three days later. Her parents also felt strange and began to feed her. When she was a little older, her parents died one after another, so she followed her sister to Chang 'an and became an official. Later, she was sent to Princess Yang A and began to learn to sing and dance. She is gifted, good at playing the piano and dancing, and is famous in Chang 'an.
Herry Liu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, likes entertainment and often goes out to play with Fu Square. When he saw Zhao in Princess Yang A's house, he was very happy. He called her to the palace and asked her to be an Jieyu, which was a great favor. Later, she abolished Queen Xu and became a swallow. Later, Zhao's younger sister Hede was also named Zhao Yi, and the two sisters specialized in the harem, which was very prominent for a while.
After the death of Emperor Han Cheng, Zhao's sisters had no children, and Liu Xin, the king of Dingtao, ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty. Zhao was honored as the queen mother and died a few years later. Emperor Ping of Han acceded to the throne, and Zhao was demoted as the filial piety queen. Later, because of his sister and virtue, the prince in the harem was killed, and Zhao was demoted to suicide.
At that time, there was a folk nursery rhyme: "Yan Yan's tail saliva, Zhang Gongzi, when we met." The wooden door warehouse is bright, swallows come, peck the emperor and grandson, and the emperor and grandson die, and swallows arrow. "I said Zhao, Yan Yan's tail said Zhao's beauty, and Mu Jiancang said she would be the queen.
Regarding Zhao's dance art, Zhao Chuan describes it as follows: "Zhao's lower back bone is very slender and he is good at walking. If a person is shaking with a flower branch in his hand, others can't learn. " "Step by step" is Zhao's original skill, which was first seen in historical materials. It can be seen that his dance skills are profound and he can control his breathing. Zhao's "Good Spirit" is said to be "as light as a swallow, and can dance in the palm of your hand", which shows that her lightness skill is excellent, and she may have been able to do difficult movements in the air, light and elegant.
Zhao is not only a dance artist, but also an excellent violinist. She has a piano called "Phoenix Baoqin". At that time, there was a young musician named Zhang Anshi in Chang 'an who practiced the piano since childhood. 15 was famous all over the world. Later, he entered the palace and played a song "Double Phoenix Leaving Luan" for Emperor Han Chengdi and Zhao. His superb skills and beautiful music fascinated the emperor and his wife, and Zhao was particularly excited. It made people hold her piano and play a song "Return Air and Send Away", which was elegant and carefree and amazed Zhang Anshi. Zhao cherishes Zhang Anshi's talent and asks Emperor Cheng to allow him to enter and leave the palace casually and give him a waiter.
