" The flag is raised on the king's city. I learned that in the deep palace. Fourteen thousand people were lifted out of their armor, and none of them were men ."
This is a very famous poem "Poem on the Death of the Country" written by Mrs. Huarui .
Lady Huarui is the most beloved concubine of 5th Hou Shu Emperor Meng Chang The most beloved concubine, with her surname is Xu, and she was named the Imperial Concubine. She combines beauty and talent.
In terms of beauty, she is recognized as the number one beauty in Houshu; in terms of talent, she is full of poetry and books and has outstanding talents. She has included more than 150 poems of her "Preface Ci" in " Complete Tang Poetry ". It can be said that Mrs. Huarui is born to be jealous.
When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin After destroying Houshu and executing Houshu Emperor Meng Chang, he brought Mrs. Huarui back to Tokyo together with countless gold and silver treasures.
Although Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor, did not study much, he respected scholars very much. It was also because he began to set the policy of governing the country by literati in the Song Dynasty and made the oath of "not killing scholars and officials." Therefore, such emperors value Mrs. Huarui, who is extremely talented, and often let her accompany her.
However, Mrs. Huarui is neither arrogant because of favor, nor flattery and wantonly cater to Zhao Kuangyin. One day, Zhao Kuangyin and Mrs. Huarui talked about her husband, Meng Chang, the emperor of Shu. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to show his talent and strategy to his favorite concubine and the incompetence of her husband, Meng Chang. Let’s talk about the reason for the demise of Later Shu, but Mrs. Huarui did not say that Meng Chang was not good, but just recited a poem sadly, which was the beginning of "Poem on the Demise of the Country". The two ended up with disagreement.
Lady Huarui is a straightforward person. When Zhao Kuangyin asked who should be the heir to the throne behind him, she replied that it was Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao , not Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi , who was more popular at the time.
When it comes to whom the crown prince is made, although the concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics, their words will more or less affect the emperor's will. Therefore, Mrs. Huarui's unintentional words became the fuse for her death at the hands of Zhao Guangyi in the future.
Zhao Guangyi also coveted Mrs. Huarui's beauty at that time, but his brother Zhao Kuangyin got it first. But he has always been thirsty and always looks for opportunities to tease Mrs. Huarui.
One day, while Zhao Kuangyin was sending troops to fight, Zhao Guangyi actually threatened and tempted Mrs. Huarui. Mrs. Huarui righteously rejected Zhao Guangyi, who was so arrogant.
Zhao Guangyi actually held a grudge and missed the battle while hunting, and shot the beautiful lady Huarui with one arrow.
Mrs. Huarui's death made Zhao Kuangyin feel sad. He got a poem left to him by Mrs. Huarui from Mrs. Huarui's maid:
People infinity of light and infinite concubine knows that kindness is as good as heaven to bear laughing. The nobles and the nobles come from afar, and I only have one poem left.
Seeing this poem, Zhao Kuangyin laughed and cried. Because from the first word of each poem, he knew that Mrs. Huarui was grateful for his favor for her and "respecting kindness and loving kindness"; from the second word of each poem, he knew that it was his younger brother Zhao Guangyi who killed Mrs. Huarui, "Guangyi killed me."
Zhao Kuangyin did not kill Zhao Guangyi because of this, Zhao Guangyi still became the emperor after Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of Song Song Taizong . A talented lady Huarui became a victim of the Zhao brothers' politics in vain.
Lady Huali blooms and fragrant like a flower, and witheres like a flower, but her talent, character and beauty are passed down to future generations and lasting forever like her poems.
