Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"I didn't expect that there would be a poet like Cui Hu in the Tang Dynasty."

"I know Cui Hu, but I didn't know that he actually wrote such an awesome poem."

"Well, this is the point of watching Teacher Jiang Ning's live broadcast. These are things that are not in the history books."

As soon as Cui Hu's story came out, countless comments continued to pour in.

However, Cui Hu is just the first poet Jiang Ning will talk about today.

Then, Jiang Ning continued: "Let's continue, the second one is Cui Jiao."

As soon as this name came out, everyone was a little surprised: "Teacher Jiang Ning, why is there another person named Cui?"

Without waiting for Jiang Ning to answer, some other people who knew more about history said: "This question does not need to be answered by Teacher Jiang Ning. Let me answer it. The Cui family was indeed very powerful during the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the poet, the prime minister named Cui in the Tang Dynasty Reaching an astonishing 37th place, you can imagine how powerful Cui was at that time."

"Uh... well."

Jiang Ning nodded and said: "A friend in the live broadcast room said it well. The Cui surname was indeed a famous family at that time. Before that, there was Cui Hao and Cui Hu. Now there is another one named Cui Jiao, but, with Compared with the previous two, Cui Jiao has no fame. Currently, there are not many records about Cui Jiao in various history books and various materials. It is said that Cui Jiao has only passed the examination as a scholar. "

"When he was young, Cui Jiao lived with his aunt because of family reasons. The aunt's family was relatively powerful and had many maids. When he was studying at his aunt's house, Cui Jiao fell in love with a maid. It's a pity. Although Cui Jiao fell in love with this maid, Cui Jiao was originally fostered in his aunt's house. At the same time, he had no fame and did not dare to confide in his aunt. Once, when he came back from handling matters in other places, he discovered that, The maidservant I liked was given to Yu Di, the governor of Xiangyang, by my aunt."

"Those who have studied history may know that he was the prime minister, and he later became the prime minister. However, his reputation was not good. Not only was he arbitrary and tyrannical, but he also liked women. For example, in the home of Aunt Cui Jiao He spent money to buy her maid because she looked good. Of course, if it was just money, it was nothing. It is said that after one of his subordinates died, this subordinate had a wife who was very happy. Beautiful, but in the end, he took his subordinate’s wife as his own.”

"So, facing the governor, let alone Cui Jiao, even an official would not dare to provoke him. But after all, Cui Jiao still missed this maidservant very much. Once, during the Cold Food Festival , Cui Jiao came to Yu Di's house specially. When Yu Di and his concubines went out, Cui Jiao also waited for this maid. But even so, Cui Jiao did not dare to take this maid away because of the difference in status. Handmaid. When he left, Cui Jiao wrote a poem to the handmaid."

[The princes, princes, and grandsons are chasing after each other, and the green beads are dripping with tears.

As soon as Hou Men entered it, it was as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang was a passerby from then on. 】

This poem is called "Gift to the Maid".

"Green Pearl" uses a code here.

Luzhu was originally the concubine of Shi Chong, a wealthy man in the Western Jin Dynasty. According to legend, she was the daughter of the Liang family in Baizhou. It was said that she was "beautiful and gorgeous and good at playing the flute". When Zhao Wanglun was in power, his subordinate Sun Xiu relied on his power to ask Shi Chong for it by name, but Shi Chong refused. Shi Chong was imprisoned and Lu Zhu fell to his death.

Therefore, the green pearl here refers to the maidservant who was taken away.

Xiao Lang also used a code here.

Xiao Lang originally refers to Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. He was the founder of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. He was a man of many talents and was very famous in history. Later, it also generally refers to a beautiful man or a man that a woman loves. This is what the author calls himself.

The meaning of the whole poem is actually very simple.

In fact, it is written about Cui Jiao's incomparable longing for this maid.

But in the end the two identities are very different.

Now that the maid has joined the noble family, no matter how much they once loved each other, they will become strangers in the future.

"Tsk tsk, this poem is okay."

"Well, it is similar to "Nanzhuang in the Capital City"."

"Yes, both of them indicate that things are different and people are different. However, it is obvious that this Cui Jiao is much worse than Cui Hu."

"Actually, Cui Hu is not miserable at all, let alone the peach blossom girl who woke up. Even if she doesn't wake up, she is just a girl that she once liked. After this girl dies, Cui Hu may still meet her Other women. But Cui Jiao is different. The girl he likes has become someone else's wife and concubine."

"Damn, why do I feel like my girlfriend is marrying a rich second generation?"

"Yes, that's it. Although the background is different, in our reality, such scenes still exist."

Many people are extremely emotional.

did not expect.

Thousands of years have passed, but some unfair and unfair things still exist.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what happened next?"

A netizen asked in the live broadcast room.

of course.

What he said was just a casual question.

because.

This is already a very bad ending.

So later on, there won't be any good ending.

But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Ning said: "Although Cui Jiao wrote this poem, he did not take away the maid he liked. However, his poem was written by the governor. Yu Di knew. If it were normal times, Yu Di would have used his privileges to put Cui Jiao in jail if he had faced people like Cui Jiao. However, when Yu Di saw Cui Jiao's poem and understood After discovering the relationship between Cui Jiao and the maid, Yu Di suddenly found the maid and gave it to Cui Jiao. Even seeing that Cui Jiao's family was poor, Yu Di even gave Cui Jiao ten thousand yuan of money. And Cui Jiao, And because of a poem he wrote, he and his maid lived a beautiful life together."

Another fairy tale ending.

When Jiang Ning finished talking about Cui Jiao, everyone felt a little stupid for a moment.

"Fuck me, this is fine."

"Is this guy Yu Di so generous?"

"It seems that reading is still beneficial. No, like Cui Jiao, a poem not only brought back a beautiful woman, but also made a windfall."

Of course.

Thinking deeply, maybe for Yu Di.

He didn't really care about this so-called maid.

After all, she is not a wife, just a concubine.

A high-ranking official like him has many wives and concubines.

Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, even the most virtuous people did not take concubines very seriously.

So it was not a big deal for him to give his concubine to others.

Simultaneously.

Doing so can also leave a good name for Yu Di.

after all.

Yu Di also knows.

He had been used to being authoritarian and arrogant before, and his reputation was not very good.

This time I have the opportunity to improve my reputation, why not?

of course.

Some fans saw the problems behind the story and said angrily: "Actually, I think this Yu Di is humiliating Cui Jiao. If I were Cui Jiao, I wouldn't accept it even if he was beaten to death."

This view has also been recognized by some people.

It's just that a lot of people complained: "Come on, you still object. You think ancient times are modern, and it is impossible for you to bridge the class gap. Not to mention, Cui Jiao has nothing. Yu Di can suddenly show kindness , for people like Cui Jiao who have little fame, it is already a happy ending. What else do you want? Do you still want to conduct a moral and legal trial on Di like in modern times? Or Cui Jiao and Yu Di Let’s have a PK?”

For this.

Jiang Ning didn't judge.

Like Cui Jiao's story, everyone has everyone's understanding.

You can think this way, or you can think that way.

but.

No matter how you are.

Cui Jiao's song "Gift to the Maid" relies on the sentence "From now on Xiao Lang is a passerby", which has also been circulated for thousands of years.

……

"Third, let's talk about another poet, his name is Liu Xiyi."

After Cui Jiao, Jiang Ning talked about the third poet.

for this poet.

Not to mention that no one knows in this life.

Even in his previous life, not many people knew about this poet. "There are not many historical records of Liu Xiyi's life. It is said that he was a Jinshi during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. He was very handsome, could play the piano, and could write poems. Because he was very artistic, he also sympathized with the singing prostitutes in the brothel. . Moreover, he also wrote many poems for these women. His poems are fresh, natural, graceful and gorgeous. Once, he wrote a poem called "The White-headed Odyssey of Dai Bei"."

While talking, Jiang Ning wrote this poem on the drawing board.

[The peach and plum blossoms in the east of Luoyang City fly around and fall into whose home they fall.

Luoyang daughter cherishes color, and sighs when she sees Luohua.

The color of the flowers will change this year. Who will bloom next year?

It has been seen that pine and cypress have been destroyed for salaries, and the mulberry field has become a sea.

The ancients didn't find the east of Luocheng, but today's people still face the wind of falling flowers.

One year spent similar, each year is different.

If you send a message to a beauty who is in full bloom, you should pity the half-dead white-headed man. 】

The first half of this poem is about the Luoyang woman's sadness that beauty is easy to grow old.

The second half is about the old man falling into silence.

[This old man is so pitiful with his white head. I used to be such a beautiful young man.

Prince Wang Sunfang is singing and dancing under the tree in front of the falling flowers.

The Guanglu Pond is decorated with beautiful paintings, and the general's pavilion is decorated with immortals.

Once I'm sick and have no acquaintance, who will I have to spend the three springs with?

How long can I turn my eyebrows, and my crane's hair will be as messy as silk in a moment?

But looking at the ancient singing and dancing place, only the birds are sad at dusk. 】

This poem laments the changes in world affairs and the impermanence of wealth, which is very philosophical about life.

Simultaneously.

The line "flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year" in this poem has also become a famous line through the ages.

"The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. What a poem."

"It's really good poetry. The three poets I talked about today all wrote very good poems. But it's a pity, why don't we know their names?"

"Don't you know it's too normal? During the hundreds of years of the Tang Dynasty, there were more than thousands of poets, maybe tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. However, only a very few of them were actually included in books and handed down. "

"I think this poet named Liu Xiyi may also have an unknown story."

have to say.

The eyes of the fans in the live broadcast room were sharp.

or.

As they continued to listen to the stories told by Jiang Ning, they also roughly summarized the characteristics of these poets.

The reason why some poets are not famous is because they have not been recorded in history books or other records.

In many cases, it may be because the poet's status is not particularly outstanding.

For example, Cui Jiao was just a scholar.

I don’t know how many Jinshi there are.

Which history book will record a little scholar?

Another example is Cui Hao. Although he was a Jinshi, he did not make much contribution, so there are not many records about him in history.

Only people like Cui Hu have some records in history books.

But this record only records some of his deeds during his political career.

"really."

Jiang Ning nodded: "This poet named Liu Xiyi does have an unknown story."

Jiang Ning continued: "Although Liu Xiyi is not well-known, he has an uncle who is very famous. This uncle is called Song Zhiwen."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, I know if Song Zhiwen is the guy with bad breath."

"Correct."

Jiang Ning smiled: "Yes, history books record that although Song Zhiwen was very talented and handsome, he had a problem, that is, he had bad breath. Once, he wanted to dedicate himself to Wu Zetian , that is, he wanted to be Wu Zetian's male favorite. But Wu Zetian knew that Song Zhiwen had bad breath, and then she did not choose him as her male favorite. However, for the sake of his own official career, Song Zhiwen tried to curry favor with Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong. Men’s favorite brothers.”

This is recorded in history books.

When many people mention Song Zhiwen, they are extremely contemptuous.

But he is such a despicable guy, but he is very talented and writes good poetry.

Such as his "Crossing the Han River".

【Lingwai Yin Shu is absolutely perfect, after winter comes spring again. I feel even more timid when I'm close to my hometown and don't dare to ask anyone. 】

Isn’t it very impressive?

Many people may not have thought of it in previous lives.

This very admirable poem was actually written by such a shameless villain Song Zhiwen.

Simultaneously.

The background of the writing of this poem was that after the two male favorites named Zhang were killed, Song Zhiwen, who had always flattered the two Zhang brothers, was demoted to Lingnan. But sometimes, character and talent are not equal. Although Song Zhiwen was extremely shameless, he still wrote such poems that have been passed down through the ages.

of course.

The poem doesn't end there after that.

Because Song Zhiwen was demoted to Lingnan, he could not bear the harsh conditions of life in Lingnan. He secretly returned to Luoyang without telling the court, and hid in the home of his friend Zhang Zhongzhi. Although Wu Zetian was dead at that time, the remnants of the Wu surname were still there, and Wu Sansi and others were still prominent. Some court ministers, including Zhang Zhongzhi, were very angry about this. One day, Zhang Zhongzhi was plotting with others to kill Wu Sansi. When Song Zhiwen heard about it, he immediately sent his nephew to report him. As a result, Zhang Zhongzhi's family was killed.

This is the story of Song Zhiwen selling his friends to seek glory.

but.

After all, Jiang Ning is not talking about Song Zhiwen today, so Jiang Ning only briefly talked about Song Zhiwen.

But Jiang Ning briefly talked about Song Zhiwen, and fans in the live broadcast room said from time to time: "Teacher Jiang Ning, Liu Xiyi is Liu Xiyi, and Song Zhiwen is Song Zhiwen. Even if Song Zhiwen is Liu Xiyi's uncle, Song Zhiwen cannot be regarded as Liu Xiyi's uncle." This is a shameless question, let’s blame Liu Xiyi.”

"Yes, Teacher Jiang Ning, are Liu Xiyi and Song Zhiwen the same person?"

Jiang Ning shook his head at this: "Liu Xiyi and Song Zhiwen are not the same people. Liu Xiyi's character is not bad."

"Then what do you mean by Song Zhiwen?"

"You may have misunderstood what I meant."

Jiang Ning said: "As everyone asked before, why is there no record of Liu Xiyi in the history books, nor are there any records of Liu Xiyi's poems. There is also a story in it, and this story is related to Song Zhiwen."

"???"

Everyone did not understand.

Jiang Ning explained: "Liu Xiyi was a talented man at that time. Although his uncle Song Zhiwen was not good in character, he wrote poems very well. At that time, after Liu Xiyi wrote "The White Head Yin of Dai Bei", he immediately took the poem I gave it to my uncle for appreciation and hoped for his advice. As an uncle, Song Zhiwen saw it and immediately became angry, thinking that this poem was for the top class. So he said to Liu Xiyi, my uncle's career is on the rise, I think Dedicate this poem to Wu Zetian. Then he said to Liu Xiyi, otherwise, if you give me this poem, I will say that this poem is composed by me. After hearing this, Liu Xiyi rejected his uncle. But Liu Xiyi did not expect that , after he rejected Song Zhiwen, Song Zhiwen killed Liu Xiyi within a few days and took the poem as his own."

This story is not based on official history.

But it comes from "The Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty", which is also the so-called legend.

As for whether it is true, someone has done some research and believes that it should have nothing to do with Song Zhiwen.

Because Song Zhiwen was already very famous at that time, and he was also very talented, there was no need to regard Liu Xiyi's poems as his own.

But why did someone put Liu Xiyi's death on Song Zhiwen.

Without him.

In fact, Song Zhiwen is simply a disgrace to scholars, so no matter what bad thing it is, it is not an exaggeration to put it on Song Zhiwen.

in this way.

Thousands of years later, it no longer matters whether Song Zhiwen did this. (End of chapter)
