Know all about the secrets of the harem

Chapter 17: The Phoenix in the Fireworks (6)
There is only the painting building, when the moon was bright at that time, the two places took pictures and missed each other.

The writing time of this poem is unknown. Judging from the content of the poem, Qin Guan came to listen to Shishi singing on a night when the lights were just on. water.Qin Guan speculates that Shi Shi was restless because of the blocked wedding, so he "plays tears and sings new words" and "lingers in the dark", looking at the bright moon in the distance and missing his lover from other places.This is clearly a girl in Huaichun!

Chao Chongzhi, a poet in the late Northern Song Dynasty, came to the capital during the Zhenghe period. At that time, the most famous kabuki in the capital were Li Shishi and Cui Nianyue.Chao Chongzhi had a banquet with his friends, and he also paid a lot of money to invite Shishi to attend the banquet. Shishi's singing voice piercing the blue sky, singing with nine layers of voice, and dancing with sleeves swaying and flowing, left a deep impression on him.More than ten years later, when Chao Chongzhi returned to the capital, Li Shishi and Cui Nianyue were still as handsome as before, and Li Shishi was well known to everyone.He has a poem that says:
The young man used wine to go to Jinghua, and once traveled to Xiaoxiao's house.

Watch the dance "Song of Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes" and listen to the song "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu".

The door is invaded by willows and weeping bead foil, and the window is facing the cherry roll green yarn.

The passengers were half-shocked and the water passed away, and our stars were scattered all over the world.

Then again:

The spring breeze steps on the moon and passes through Zhanghua, and the blue bird double invites grandma's house.

The willow is low as a household leaf, and the peach blossoms out of the wall to welcome people.

Warm clouds invade the face with deep hairpins on the temples, and the cold jade in the thin arm shirt shines on the gauze.

Don't make melancholy things in your life, the neighboring states are not in Haixiya.

The first poem is about when Chao Chongzhi was a young man traveling in Jinghua, he went to the house of Shishi (that is, the little girl in the poem). The environment of her house is pleasant, with willows whirling in front of the door and cherries in front of the window. Watching her dance and listening to her Singing is really a great joy in life.But ten years later, when I came back to the capital, I revisited the old places, the mountains and rivers remained the same, and the scenery was different, but the people who came to listen to the songs back then were scattered all over the world, and it was not easy to find them.The second poem is about teachers and teachers with peach blossoms on their faces, which complement each other, ringing with jingle bells, wearing light gauze on the arms, with the fragrant wind blowing, the colorful sleeves fluttering, the sky is beautiful, just like a goddess.

Li Shishi was famous for a while, and Huizong had heard of it for a long time, so he naturally wanted to hunt for beauty.It just so happened that among the eunuchs he favored, there was an eunuch named Zhang Di. Before he entered the palace, he was a prostitute who wandered among the flower streets and willow alleys every day. He was very familiar with the prostitutes in Bianjing. Grandma Li was quite familiar with it, so she naturally knew Li Shishi's name, so she told Emperor Huizong about it.

Huizong was very itchy when he heard that his master boasted of both sex and art, but after all, he still had some scruples about his status as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so he lied that he was a wealthy businessman Zhao Yi, and immediately prepared a generous gift for Li Mama, and then took Dozens of people visited in micro-clothes and came to the brothel where Li Shishi was located.Because Li Shishi is a "celebrity", she doesn't pay much attention to clients. Besides, she thinks that no matter how much money she gives to her mother, it's just a nouveau riche who made a little money, so it's no big deal , I just came here in admiration of my name, since I fell in love with me, then I am the boss, I have the final say, if I don’t answer you, I won’t answer you, what can you do to me?After Huizong finished bathing and changing clothes, he waited and waited, but no beautiful woman came out. He was very impatient and couldn't get angry, so he could only wait quietly.

While he was anxious, he suddenly heard the small steps swaying outside the curtain, and the slender shadow swayed, and an extremely pleasant voice asked:

"Mother Li, are the guests still there?"

That voice was like resentment or admiration, like weeping like complaining, like mist dissipating, like east wind caressing orchids, piercing into the ears, sinking into the bottom of my heart, it was indescribably beneficial.

The curtain was raised lightly, Li Shishi lazily walked into the room after taking a bath, when Huizong saw the beautiful woman who just got out of the bath, he was shocked, he really didn't believe that there was such a beautiful woman in the world.

When Li Shishi looked at Huizong, he suddenly found that this person was very different from ordinary people. Not to mention his handsome face, his brows were also quite majestic. He was regarded as a noble person, but after all, he couldn't figure out the origin of this person, and knew that he was being negligent. Busily bowed down, went to the front of the piano, and sang a song "Wan Li Chun" for Huizong:
Thousands of reds and thousands of greens, clusters set a clear tomorrow.In pity for his various fragrances, it's hard not to get drunk.

I love as deep as you, my heart is in my heart.Then look at each other and forget the spring breeze, and don't have any joy.

Li Shishi's singing and piano skills are unmatched by few people in Tokyo.After listening to her soft and graceful playing and singing, Zhao Yi was so intoxicated, as if falling into a dream, he patted each other unconsciously with his hands.Song Huizong looked at Li Shishi's frivolous teasing and flirtatious eyebrows. He had already forgotten that he was the emperor, so he made fun of Li Shishi in every possible way.

Li Shishi knew that he was a noble person, so he naturally used all kinds of means to flatter him. Song Huizong felt that the taste was fresh and very entertaining.Li Shishi has a quirk, whenever he comes to her, as long as he has a little proficiency in writing, he has to leave a poem.She saw that Song Huizong was very elegant and graceful, so of course she would not let it go.Song Huizong's poems, calligraphy and paintings are all unrivaled in ancient and modern times. At this time, he was in the midst of a boom again, and he happily ordered his pen to write in his unique "thin gold body" calligraphy:
People in front of shallow wine, embraced by nephrite lamps, looking back into the embrace is always reasonable.Pain, pain, lightly push Lang, gradually heard trembling, slightly frightened red.

There is no gap between the trial and the Gengfan, this time the flavor is so subversive, moving, arms crossed, lips meet, tongues touch each other.

In the early morning, the emperor untied the dragon and phoenix silk ribbon and gave it to Shi Shi as a token of love.Because Huizong had to go to the early court, he bid farewell in a hurry when the sky was twilight.

Holding the ribbon in his hand, and looking at the handsome and unrestrained thin golden body, Li Shishi realized that the person who slept with him last night was actually the current emperor, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.But then I thought about it: "Since the emperor is willing to come to see me, he will definitely not have the heart to kill me, and he was very considerate of me that night, and he didn't force me, so we know he loves me. If he really kills me one day I, everyone knows that it was caused by the emperor's debauchery, which would damage his reputation, which is what he taboos the most, so he will never do anything to me."

Although the incident got out, Huizong didn't do anything to her.In the first month of the second year, the emperor sent someone to send a famous piano to Li Shishi and silver to Li's mother.In March, the emperor changed his clothes and came to the brothel again. He shared the joy of fish and water with Li Shishi, and named the small building where she lived "Zui Xing Lou".

There are also rumors in the palace about the secret relationship between the emperor and Li Shishi.Empress Zheng advised the emperor to say:

"Although prostitutes are extremely beautiful, they are from humble backgrounds. During the dynasty of Qin and Muchu, it is inevitable that they will contract the disease of willows and willows. If the saint is infected, what should I do? Besides, the emperor is the king of a country and the representative of thousands of people. This matter is widely spread among the people. Why is it forbidden? Besides, the Holy Majesty often pretends to go out late at night, even if there are guards closely following him, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will be lost, just in case..." The emperor listened and felt that it made sense, so he stopped going to Li Shishi's place for a year. For a long time, but secretly sent people to give her gifts, but never stopped.Emperor Weizong once said that none of the post-official concubines can match Li Shishi in terms of talent, appearance, and character. For example: "If you pick 100 concubines from among your concubines, take off the hairpins and jewelry, put on plain makeup, let her dress up in the same way, and mix them together, people will be able to recognize her difference from you at a glance, her charm Grace is not something that can only be appreciated from the beauty of face and figure.”

So, after not seeing each other for a year, the emperor missed Li Shishi very much. Finally, in the second year of Xuanhe, the emperor slipped out to have a tryst with Li Shishi again without telling the concubines in the harem.Because it is inconvenient to dodge in this way, Zhang Di offered another plan: dig a tunnel next to the Li Palace to lead to the brothel, so that it is difficult for outsiders to detect the actions of the Holy Majesty, and it can also ensure the safety of the Holy Majesty.Therefore, the area around the Li Palace was listed as a forbidden area for the Imperial Forest Army, and the tunnel dug underground led directly to Li Shishi's door, and Huizong often walked through the tunnel to meet Li Shishi for a tryst.

It is really rare in ancient and modern times for a kabuki to be so favored by the supreme ruler of a country.

Huizong loved Shi Shi, but he did not take Shi Shi into the palace, because he was the emperor, the ruler, and the spokesperson of the feudal ruling class.He had civil and military affairs in the Manchu dynasty before him, six concubines in the back, seven temples and clans in the top, and princes and grandchildren in the bottom. It is impossible for him to personally challenge the feudal laws, even if he wants to, he is powerless.

Li Shishi was originally a famous prostitute in Tokyo, but also had a bold personality and liked to socialize. He was known as the "parachute general", and he refused to be tied to only one emperor.She also had a hot fight with the famous poet Zhou Bangyan.Zhou Bangyan, named Meicheng, was born in Qiantang. He was born with exquisite elegance, learned from hundreds of schools, and could compose music according to scores.He and Li Shishi often communicated. Li Shishi was famous for her good songs, and it was Zhou Bangyan who composed music and lyrics for her.

One day on the queen's birthday, he guessed that the emperor would not come to Li Shishi's place, so he sneaked over to have a tryst with Li Shishi, but unfortunately, the emperor still came, and brought a few catties of Chaozhou tangerines for Li Shishi to taste, saying that he was rushing to leave. Brought from Guangdong, very fresh.Zhou Bangyan got under the bed to hide.Li Shishi peeled a few pieces with scissors, the two ate together, and then stayed together for a long time, making Zhou Bangyan anxious under the bed.Fortunately, the emperor still remembered that today was the queen's birthday, so he thought he should go back to accompany her, so he left.Zhou Bangyan crawled out from under the bed, played and sang with Li Shishi, and wrote what he just heard into a poem "Youth Tour":
The knife is like water, Wu Yan beats the snow, and the slender fingers break the new orange.The brocade curtain is warm for the first time, and the musk is constantly scented. They sit opposite each other and tune the sheng.Ask in a low voice: Who do you want to spend the night with?It's already three o'clock in the city, and the horses are slippery and frosty. It's better to stop, because there are few people walking.

Who would have imagined that Zhou Bangyan meditated under the bed for a night to get the "Youth Tour" that has been spread all over the world. The world is so big that it is full of wonders.

Zhou Bangyan is full of talent, and Li Shishi is not an ordinary person. There is a saying that "love grows with time".There were Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun in ancient times, so how can you be sure that Mr. Zhou and Ms. Li will not have some love to breed?Although Zhou Bangyan was a frequent visitor of Shishi at that time, he was already old. Seeing that Shishi was not lustful, he became a confidant in lyrics and music with her. He wrote new lyrics for Shishi: Shishi sang new lyrics for him, two people a Fine Ci, one Gongqu, one written and one performed, one sung and one harmonized.Zhou Bangyan was a small tax supervisor in Kaifeng Prefecture at that time. He had a great literary name, was good at rhythm, and could compose his own tunes. He was famous in the literary world for "Bianjing Fu".He always gets inspiration from brothel prostitutes, so his poems are fragrant and greasy.Therefore, the communication between teachers and teachers is more of an academic exchange.Throughout the ages, most of the famous prostitutes have some knowledge, and the literati feel relaxed and inspired when communicating with them, and they can often write many beautiful essays.If you want to say that the brothel is the birthplace of these handed down articles, I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration!

Zhou Bangyan is really an idiot in the ci world. In the predicament of being flustered, he can still write such good ci!Alas, it's a pity that it's not a real boy tour!If you are a teenager in love, then this "Youth Tour" is not in vain!
Being entangled with the emperor's beloved woman, Zhou Bangyan's bad luck also began with the song "Youth Tour".

One day, Huizong came to the fanlou where Li Shishi lived again. On a whim, Shishi sang Zhou Bangyan's "Youth Tour".Li Shishi loves this poem very much, and often practices singing according to the score.

When Song Huizong heard it, he was talking about the love affairs in Li Shishi's room that day. He thought Li Shishi did it himself, and was about to praise a few words, but Li Shishi casually said that it was Zhou Bangyan's genealogy. His face suddenly became uncomfortable.Song Huizong saw Li Shishi's expression, and knew that Zhou Bangyan must have been in the room that day, and his face suddenly changed.I thought to myself: The court ministers know that Li Shishi is my pet, and they dare to come again, that's fine, if they don't punish severely, they will definitely open Li Shishi's door.

On the same day, Song Huizong quickly returned to the harem, and sent his confidants to collect the erotic poems written by Zhou Bangyan on weekdays as evidence of his crime, saying that he was frivolous and could not be an official in the court, and demoted him from Bianjing.

After dealing with this matter, Song Huizong was very happy, so he came to Li Shishi's house again, but Li Shishi went out and did not return. He didn't see Li Shishi back until the first watch: "Master, where have you been? I have been waiting for you for a long time. an hour!"

Li Shishi came back with a sad face. Song Huizong thought she was unwell, so he got up to comfort her.Even though Huizong of Song Dynasty is the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he is not good at governing the country, but he is still an expert in this respect: "Is there someone in your relatives who is poor and helpless? Take out some silver taels..."

Before Song Huizong could finish his comforting words, Li Shishi knelt down and burst into tears: "Please forgive my concubine's crime!

Zhou Bangyan was escorted out of Beijing today!The concubine reads that he composed many lyrics for the concubine, and now he was convicted of writing lyrics for the concubine, and he is very old, so he couldn't bear it, so he went to the capital to see him off with a glass of wine! "

Song Huizong was stunned, Li Shishi dared to see off the person who the emperor personally punished, which shows her courage.

Besides, what is Zhou Bangyan's crime? I just found an excuse to dismiss him because he came to the tower once.

Song Huizong thought so in his heart, but asked in his mouth: "What did Zhou Bangyan say?" What a vigilant woman Li Shishi is!Seeing Song Weizong's question, she felt that Zhou Bangyan's fate had turned for the better: "I feel very regretful, he said he deserved what he deserved, and the emperor is holy. Before leaving, he even sang his new lyrics "Lanling King" for my concubine. "Really, can you still memorize it?" Huizong admired Zhou Bangyan a little bit. "Let the concubine tune the strings and sing!" Li Shishi stood up, straightened his dark cloud-like hair, took off the pipa, and sang "Lanling King" sadly but not complaining:
The shade of the willows is straight, and there are traces of green in the smoke. On the embankment of the Sui Dynasty, I have seen the water brushed several times, sending off the scenery.When I visit my homeland, who will tell me that I am a tired guest in Jinghua, Changting Road, every year, I should fold mulberry strips over a thousand feet, looking for old traces, drinking wine while mourning, and leaving the banquet with lights.

The pear blossom and elm fire urges cold food, and when you worry about it, the wind is fast and the wave is warm, and you turn around and pass the number of posts, looking at people on the sad side of the sky.Hate piles up, gradually farewell to Pu lingering, Jinhou calm.The setting sun is running and the spring is endless, remembering the moon pavilion hand in hand, listening to the flute on the dew bridge, thinking about the past like a dream, tears dripping darkly.

Li Shishi wiped his tears with a red scarf while singing, especially when he sang: "The wine is mourning, and the lamp is shining and leaving the banquet", the song is almost silent.Hearing this, Song Huizong felt sad. He himself was a man of great wisdom, and the next day he issued an order to recall Zhou Bangyan as Dasheng Lezheng. Unexpectedly, after this incident, Zhou Bangyan would mix with Huizong every day and write lyrics. write poetry.

There is a saying: It is absurd for Nuwa to mend the sky, and she will play the absurdity in the wild.Cao Xueqin was right.

It's really interesting that the two poems actually caused Zhou Bangyan's life ups and downs.What's even more interesting is that Huizong actually talked about poetry and painting with his beloved lover. Jane is really absurd. Don't forget, he is the emperor.From this, what comes to mind is not how Huizong lost the country afterwards, but that the artistic cells born in his life actually made him forget human ethics, human dignity and feudal norms, which shows that literature is much more addictive than heroin.

If Song Huizong was not emperor, he must be a pretty good artist.He knows everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, and he loves everything about flowers, birds, fish and insects.His calligraphy has its own style, and later generations call it "thin gold calligraphy". His ink painting, traced back, is actually the founder of freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting.It's a pity that he sits on the Dragon Chair!

It stands to reason that Zhou Bangyan's time should turn around, but things backfired, and Zhou Bangyan died in the second year.

In March 1127, the Northern Song Dynasty declared its demise.After the Jin people invaded Bianjing, they wantonly extorted gold and silver. Even a prostitute like Li Shishi was not spared.After Emperors Hui and Qin became prisoners of the Jin people, Shishi lost his support and wandered around. He had to follow the fleeing crowd to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, living without a fixed place and living in poverty.He had no choice but to return to his old job, but after a long period of turmoil and torture, Li Shishi was depressed and haggard, and lived only by singing and singing.

The scholar-officials in Nandu admired her reputation and often invited her to the reception. The song she sang the most at the banquet was:
The prosperity of the chariot can be hurtful, and the elders of teachers and teachers meet Huxiang;

The threaded sandalwood board has no color, and a song moved the emperor back then.

In addition, there are different versions about the rest of Li Shishi's life:
One: she escaped from Bianjing during the Jingkang disaster and became a female Taoist priest in Ciyun temple.

Second: After the Jin army broke through Bianjing, the gold master coveted Li Shishi, and the surrender Zhang Bangchang did everything possible to find her, and he did not hesitate to offer a huge reward, and finally found her.She was disheveled, refused to wash and change clothes to go to see the golden man, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and committed suicide by swallowing gold.

Third: After Li Shishi went to the south, the scholar-bureaucrats regarded her as a concubine and refused to associate with her. She was poor and destitute, married a businessman as a concubine, and drowned in the Qiantang River.

There is such a poem that makes a high-level summary of what she has done in her life:
The traces of fragrance are vaguely remembered in Bianliang, and the romance of those years has been spread for a long time;
There is a Daotongxiang Cave in the Purple Palace, and pink fans are passionately in love with the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Hu'er drives the iron horse and teaches the beauty to kill the red sheep;
Jingkang is so ashamed who is the snow, the Yellow River is surging forever.
