There is such a good thing. A minister of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote a famous poem and asked the emperor to reward him with a palace maid. This is true!
This minister is the famous talent Song Qi (998 AD - 1061 AD, courtesy name Zijing) in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a famous writer, historian and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the second year of Tiansheng of Song Renzong, he and his elder brother Song Xiang passed the Jinshi examination in the same year. Song Xiang was first and he was tenth. Both brothers were famous for their talents. At that time, they were called "Er Song" and their elder brother was called "Er Song". Da Song ", Song Qi is "Little Song". His elder brother Song Xiang became the prime minister, and Song Qi also went through the Longtuge bachelor's degree, the history library compilation, the Zhizhi imperial edict, and later the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the Hanlin bachelor's degree. He once co-edited "New Tang Book" with Ouyang Xiu and others.
Song Qi’s article is good and his lyrics are also good. Because of the famous line "The red apricot branches are full of spring" in his song "Spring in the Jade House", it is called " Hongxing Shangshu ". Because she wrote a poem, Song Renzong rewarded her with a palace maid.
It is said that one day, Song Qi was on his way back to the capital. When he passed by Fantai Street, he happened to meet the royal motorcade head-on. Song Qi quickly stepped aside.
At this time, he suddenly heard someone in a palace car calling softly: "Xiao Song!"
Song Qi heard the call and looked at the car following the sound. He only saw a beautiful palace maid smiling at him and turning the car. The curtain was lowered and the motorcade passed him.
The motorcade passed by, but the beauty’s voice and smile made Song Qi excited and he would never forget it again. But he didn't know that this was a palace motorcade, and the beauty in the car was a palace beauty, so what was the use of thinking about it.
Song Qi was melancholy in every possible way. After returning to his mansion, he sent a pen to express his feelings and wrote a poem " Partridge Sky ": The painting hub (gǔ) and the carved saddle meet on a narrow road. There was a heartbreaking sound in the embroidered curtain. There is no colorful phoenix flying wings in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart. Gold is the house, jade is the cage. A car is like a horse swimming in flowing water. Liu Lang already hated that Pengshan was far away, and even more tens of thousands of meters away from Pengshan.
Well, this poem quickly spread throughout the capital. This poem is indeed well written, "There is no colorful phoenix flying in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart", "Liu Lang already hates that Pengshan is far away, and it is tens of thousands of meters away from Pengshan", which vividly expresses his longing and feeling of loss. . ——But don’t forget, these four lines are the famous lines that he borrowed intact from the great poet of the Later Tang Li Shangyin . However, written from the pen of "Xiao Song", his words add his story , spread quickly, and later spread to the palace and reached Song Renzong's ears.
Song Renzong called these palace officials and asked: "Which car did the call come from, and who called Xiao Song?"
Now that the emperor was questioning him, people knew that they couldn't hide it. A palace maid stood up and said shyly: "When the palace hosted a banquet for Xuan Hanlin, we were asked to serve at the banquet. When I saw the ministers, they said: This is Xiao Song. That day, I accidentally saw him in the car and called out. , please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Song Renzong burst into laughter upon hearing this. Soon, he summoned Song Qi to the palace and talked about the matter. When Song Qi heard that the emperor had asked about this matter, he was ashamed, but he had to admit it and sincerely asked the emperor to forgive him.
Song Renzong smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, what's the crime? Besides, Pengshan is not far away. You can take that palace maid back."
Yes, Liu Chen, Ruan Zhao went to Tiantai Mountain to collect medicinal herbs. They met two beauties and invited them to their home to get married. They returned to their hometown six months later. Many years had passed since their hometown. When they returned to the mountain again, they could not find the beauties. The story of Liu Lang's "love encounter" with a fairy has always been admired by future generations.
But Song Renzong generously fulfilled Song Qi's good deeds. Song Qi quickly kowtowed to Song Renzong to thank him and took the beautiful palace maid home.
