Chapter 203: Lux takes off his boots
The one who forced Wu Zetian to abdicate and returned to the Li family of the Tang Dynasty was Li Longji, who was still the emperor's grandson at the time and later became the Kaiyuan Emperor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoAfter Wu Zetian abdicated, her daughter Princess Taiping held power single-handedly, and five of the seven prime ministers were from her disciples.
Even the two emperors, Zhongzong Li Xian and Ruizong Li Dan brothers couldn't afford to mess with her. After Ruizong abdicated and abdicated to his son Li Longji, Princess Taiping also wanted to abolish Xuanzong. But under his counterattack, he was forced to commit suicide, dismantling the bane left by Wu Zetian, and established the rule of Kaiyuan, which is as famous as the rule of Zhenguan in history.
But in his old age, the Kaiyuan Mingjun who single-handedly established a peaceful and prosperous era was gone, and only one was left who was addicted to singing and dancing, drinking and beauties, surrounded by Yang Guifei's clever smile and the Yang family's welcome, and did not ask about national politics.
During his time, he used two traitorous ministers as prime ministers. Although Li Linfu is bad, he is still a little talented and can hold down the situation. After Li Linfu's death, he promoted his uncle Yang Guozhong to the prime minister, and the politics of the entire Tang Dynasty were even more corrupt, and Tang Xuanzong was still addicted to pleasure.
The high place of the Li Palace enters the green clouds, and the fairy music wind is heard everywhere. Slow singing and dancing and condensing silk bamboo, the king does not see enough. Yuyang came agitatedly, breaking the song of neon clothes and feathers.
Looking at the affection and love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, Gao Lishi's heart is very contradictory, Yang Guifei is a woman reincarnated by Yuzi in this life, but she can only watch her and Tang Xuanzong's endless entanglement, and the jealousy in Gao Lishi's heart is indescribable. In order to balance the feeling of jealousy in his heart, he married a wife, and it was to marry a woman who was beautiful and fragrant.
Although eunuchs are castrated people, it is not uncommon for eunuchs to marry wives in history, and it is even more common in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, 49 percent of the eunuchs who married wives were high-level eunuchs above the fifth rank, and 51 percent were middle- and lower-level eunuchs below the sixth rank, and some even married more than one wife.
Gao Lishi married the daughter of Lu Xuanyu, a sword and pen official, he married not an ordinary woman, this woman is the national color of Tianzi, but the national flower of the Tang Dynasty. What is surprising is that the Lu family is not only the national flower, but also virtuous and virtuous, the Lu family can be called a perfect woman, but such an outstanding woman is willing to marry a eunuch, I wonder if the handsome guys in the Tang Dynasty will sigh?
Although Gao Lishi married Lu Shi, he is a eunuch on the surface, but he is not actually a eunuch, and he loves Yang Guifei deeply, in order not to let the reality be revealed, he does not sleep with Lu Shi, although he has the name of husband and wife, but there is no husband and wife, Lu Shi is Gao Lishi opened the eunuch to marry the wife of the first wife in history.
At the beginning of the first year, Lu Xuanyu, a native of Hejian, took a large family of people to work as a small official in the yamen of the criminal department in the capital, with a meager income and poor family resources. However, he gave birth to a daughter who is beautiful and fragrant, this woman is not only beautiful, but also good at being a female celebrity, so his mother often works with her daughter to make a female celebrity for the female relatives of some official eunuchs.
Once, when the Lu family sewed and embroidered Luo clothes for the daughter of Wei Jian's wife, Jiang Jiao, the Duke of Chu Guogong, Wei Jian's sister, Princess Huixuan, saw it from a distance and thought that the embroidered branches on the clothes were real. Since then, Lu's skillful hands have spread among the relatives of various palaces, and princesses, princesses, and Mrs. Guo have invited her to embroider.
One day, Lu followed his mother to Li Linfu's mansion and cut clothes for his concubine. It just so happened that Gao Lishi also came to Li Linfu for the court, and he actually collided with Lu's mother and daughter, and Lu Nu's beautiful appearance made Gao Lishi full of praise. Li Linfu saw it in his eyes, and immediately invited Lu Xuanmei to come to the mansion, to be a matchmaker for his daughter, and the prime minister to be a matchmaker, but Lu Xuanmei dared not agree.
After that, Gaolis's bonus dowry and gold and jade jewelry were sent to the Lu family. Three days later, Gao Lishi wore red and hung colors to welcome the newcomer, Gao Lishi married a wife, lively pomp, no less than for the prince and concubine, the princess married, it was really a distinguished guest, the high-ranking officials were full of seats, creating a historical precedent for eunuchs to marry their wives.
Not to mention whether the Lu family was happy to marry Gao Lishi? However, not long after Lu Xuan married his daughter, he was promoted to Shaoqing and Assassin Shi, and the children of the Lu family also became high-ranking officials.
Because of the relationship between Gao Lishi, the Lu family entered the palace to embroider for Yang Guifei. Although there were 700 masters of brocade embroidery for the concubine, none of them could match the Lu family. Therefore, the concubine repeatedly ordered Gao Lishi to make the Lu family enter the palace to embroider clothes. The concubine had a lot of clothes, and Lu was overworked, so she couldn't afford to get sick.
The Lu family married Gao Lishi, although he did not enjoy the happiness of human nature, which was really unfortunate, but after marriage, he was carefully cared for by Gao Lishi, and brought countless benefits to the Lu family, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
Although it was common for eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty to marry wives, due to their own physical defects, their wives were destined to be just decorations, and the women who married eunuchs were widowed at a young age, and they would inevitably cheat.
There was a eunuch named Miao Xian, who married a woman named Ah Mao, and three years later, Ah Mao actually gave birth to a boy. Of course, Miao Xian knew that his son was not his own, but he also acquiesced and saved himself from adopting his children again. After another five years, the emperor issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world, and at this time, Miao Xian's neighbor Song Yu came to the door, saying that the boy was born to him by fornication with Ah Mao, and asked for the son to be recognized as an ancestor and returned to the ancestor. But Ah Mao resolutely refused to admit it, and the two sides could not hold each other, so they had to resort to court.
The verdict was made: "As a eunuch, it should be impossible for Miao Xian to give birth to a child, and his wife gave birth to a boy, which can be seen that it is not Miao Xian's child." Song Yu admitted that he had an affair with Ah Mao, and the son should be returned to his father. The son was returned to Song Yu, the daughter-in-law was returned to Miao Xian, and the contact between Ah Mao and Song Yu was immediately severed. "Eunuch Miao Xian thought he had picked up a son, but he didn't expect to raise it for a few years, and suddenly he became someone else's, which is really a bit uneconomical.
What is the use of a eunuch marrying a wife, and how is it used? I think that in the past, these two brothers carried their heads to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and now the coup has succeeded, one marries a daughter-in-law as a little wife, and the other forces a daughter from a good family to become a eunuch's wife. This revolution is really worth it.
The poet immortal Li Bai roamed the famous mountains and rivers, and the name of the poem spread far and wide in the sea. Emperor Xuanzong summoned him to the capital Chang'an, who knew that what Xuanzong appreciated and valued was only Li Bai's poetry and songs, and he didn't want Li Bai to participate in the government at all, so he only named him a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He was disheartened, and the ministers congratulated him, making him laugh and cry.
One day, Xuanzong and Yang Guifei returned from bathing in Huaqing Pond, watched flowers and scenery in the garden, and immersed themselves in the joy and leisure. Xuanzong saw the famous flower and concubine in front of him, but he lacked a wonderful ghost, so he ordered someone to pass on Li Bai, a bachelor of Hanlin, to come to the court.
Because Li Bai is not appreciated, he often sings about wine. On this day, he was drunk again, and when he received the order, he was still drunk and hazy, and he seemed to be awake and came to the imperial garden.
Xuanzong and the concubine felt quite funny when they saw Li Bai drifting away, so Xuanzong said: "Zhaoqing is here today, and I want to create three Qingping tunes, but I can't write it when you are so drunk." β
Li Bai said: "There are 100 poems about the minister's fight, and he just writes poems while he is drunk." β
Xuanzong ordered Gao Lishi to take the golden flower paper, but Li Bai was slow to use the pen, Xuanzong asked why, Li Bai said that he wanted Gao Lishi to grind ink and brush the paper, and he was more interested. Although Gao Lishi was not convinced, in order to win the favor of Xuanzong, he had to wait.
Li Bai deliberately shook his head, holding a brush and looking at Gao Lishi being teased, he felt comfortable, so he waved and wrote: "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, the spring breeze blows Revlon, and they will meet under the moon in Yaotai." β
Li Bai wrote the second and third poems again, and it happened that Gao Lishi stretched out his head to read the poem, Li Bai coldly knocked Gao Lishi's face with the tip of the pen, Gao Lishi thought that Li Bai was being favored and had a bad attack, so he touched his face and walked away embarrassed. Li Bai stopped him: "Go slowly, quickly present the three Qingping songs to the emperor." β
Gao Li's morale was so angry that his eyes were straight and white in a daze, Xuanzong read Li Bai's words and was full of praise, so he ordered Gao Lishi to hand it over to Liyuan to compose music for the concubine to dance and sing after the moon. Xuanzong also ordered someone to take a glass cup, filled it with elixir and jade liquid, and the concubine Niangniang personally poured wine for Li Bai. Li Bai drank several cups in a row and said: "Li Bai has received the great favor of my emperor and cannot repay it, may my emperor live long live." β
After saying that, Li Bai was drunk and lay on the ground, Xuanzong saw that Li Bai was drunk like this, and ordered Gao Lishi to help Li Bai go back. Li Bai was helped up and deliberately fell down, pretending to be drunk and shouting madly: "Gao Lishi, my feet are swollen and uncomfortable, take off my boots for me." β
Gao Lishi was furious and angrily accused Li Bai of being presumptuous, but Li Bai still shouted loudly: "Get off!
Yang Guifei also asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots, Gao Lishi couldn't help but obey, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and could only pretend to accept his order happily.
A few days later, Li Bai's Qingping tune has been composed into a new song, and the concubine Niangniang sang and danced at the same time, singing the second song: "A branch of red dew condenses incense, and the clouds and rain Wushan break the intestines in vain." By asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup. β
The concubine's sisters, Mrs. Yu Guo and Mrs. Han, praised and said: "Niangniang sings with emotion, even Zhao Feiyan of the Han Palace can't reach it." β
Yang Guifei was overjoyed, but Gao Lishi hated taking off his boots, so he slandered Yang Guifei: "Li Bai, a madman, dares to compare Zhao Feiyan, the evil concubine of the Han Palace, with Niangniang, isn't it a crime that deserves death?"
Yang Guifei thought about it, but she was angry, and she thought: "I treat Li Baien as heavy as a mountain, he doesn't think about repaying my kindness, but insinuates to destroy my reputation, what a bold person." β
At this time, Xuanzong came to Huaqing Palace and wanted to listen to the concubine sing the new song of Qingping, and the concubine was in a bad mood. Since Xuanzong wants to listen, he can only sing. When he sang "Poor Feiyan Leans on New Makeup", he suddenly stopped and couldn't cry. Xuanzong asked urgently: "What is it for?"
The concubine played Li Bai's insinuation, and she cried endlessly. Xuanzong's love for Yang Guifei is well known, and in a fit of anger, Xuanzong tore up a piece of paper and said, "Don't be sad, concubine, I will help you be the master." β
At this time, Gao Lishi added fuel and vinegar on the side, Xuanzong was furious, and sent Gao Lishi to lead the Imperial Forest Army to the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Zhi read: "Zha Hanlin Li Bai, borrowed wine to go crazy, dissatisfied with the present, disrespectful to the saints, lyrics and insinuations, alluding to the past and the present, Zige went to Hanlin to serve the post, expelled from Chang'an, and admired this." β
Poor Li Bai was expelled from Chang'an.
Li Bai was drunk and vomited, Tang Xuanzong's dragon hand towel wiped his mouth for him - the dragon towel wiped his vomit, Tang Xuanzong's royal hand made wine soup for him - royal hand and soup, Yang Guifei's jade hand held an inkstone for him - Guifei held an inkstone, Gao Lishi's big hand took off his boots for him - Lux took off his boots.
Li Bai did not pose a threat to Gao Lishi's status, even if Gao Lishi hurt his face and took off his boots, as Gao Lishi's person, he would not be able to deal with such an insignificant literati in the court. Li Bai was finally given gold to return to the mountain, and the fundamental reason was still himself.
