Chapter 49: Outside the Door of the Building
Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem, called two songs of Taicheng. There are two sentences in it, such as, Han Baohu outside the door, and Zhang Lihua at the head of the building.
It is said that Han Baohu, the founding general of the Sui Dynasty, has entered the gate of the palace, and Zhang Lihua is still dancing at the top of the building.
Later generations will also use the idiom outside the door of the building to warn the rulers of the feudal society, so today I will discuss with you the funny story of this king of the dead country.
This emperor is the last emperor of the Chen Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chen Shubao, in fact, his throne is also extremely thrilling, it is said that when he was the crown prince, he was unscrupulous, and his younger brother Chen Shuling in order to compete with him for the throne, in front of his father's body could not help but wave a knife.
If it weren't for his biological mother, Empress Dowager Liu, and the nurse desperately rescued each other, and finally took a few knives for him, Chen Shubao would have become a ghost under the knife.
Later, after he became emperor, the only thing he liked to do was to indulge in the harem and have fun. At that time, the most favored concubine by Chen Shubao was Zhang Lihua.
Legend has it that Zhang Guifei's most beautiful thing is the black hair, which is also written in the history books
"The hair is seven feet long, and the oil shine can be seen". Chen Shubao was shocked when he saw Zhang Lihua for the first time, and finally wrote "Yushu Backyard Flower" to praise Zhang Lihua's beauty.
Since then, Chen Shubao and Zhang Lihua have been like glue and obsessed with beauty. It was so absurd that he held a beauty to discuss politics in the court, so that the government was almost deserted.
The minister Fu Wei risked his life to admonish: If Your Majesty continues to indulge in wine, appoint villains, and persecute Zhongliang, he will be destroyed by the Sui Dynasty if he does not wake up.
When Chen Shubao heard this, he was furious, and he was so angry that he immediately ordered Fu Wei to be killed. Hehe, in this way, no one in the DPRK and China dares to admonish.
However, it is said that Zhang Lihua is not only a national beauty, a fragrant phoenix, and a dancer, but also has an excellent memory.
Chen Shubao simply let Zhang Lihua handle the government affairs. In the end, I didn't know that there was Chen Shubao in the court, but I knew that there was Zhang Lihua.
But specifically, Zhang Lihua completely captured the emperor in terms of beauty and knowledge. Until one day, Chen Shubao and Zhang Lihua were drinking and enjoying the flowers, and someone came to report that Yang Guang, the son of Emperor Wen of Sui, came to attack with 500,000 troops and had arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Chen Shubao actually thought that he was hindered by the Yangtze River, so he continued to enjoy the flowers indifferently. The next day, Chen Shubao heard that the Sui army had crossed the Yangtze River from Jingkou and had already attacked Jiankang City.
It's a pity that the government was corrupt at that time, and no one dared to lead troops to war. In the end, it was Xiao Maha, the old general who had quelled the chaos, who stood up and was willing to lead his troops to retreat from the enemy.
Chen Shubao was naturally very happy, and asked Xiao Maha to go out immediately, and his wife and children entered the palace to reward him, and of course he continued to have fun.
But at this critical juncture full of crises, Chen Shubao actually took a fancy to the wife of Xiao Mo, the old general who was rewarded by the dynasty, and finally left her in the palace to enjoy herself, you say it's ridiculous.
Later, his subordinates reported the news to him, Xiao Maha was so angry that he fainted to the ground, and Chen Jun was defeated without a fight.
By the next day, the Sui army captured Jiankang City and besieged the palace. At this time, Chen Shubao was still admiring Zhang Lihua's dancing at the top of the building.
I think people should have run away at this time, but Chen Shubao still didn't forget his two beauties, Zhang and Sun, who hugged each other and hid in a dry well.
Until he was captured and captured by the Sui army, Chen Shubao still thought about his beloved Zhang Lihua. In the end, although Emperor Wen of Sui was merciful and did not kill him, Chen Shubao's absurdity directly caused the demise of Nan Chen.
Later, Chen Shubao was made an official by Emperor Wen of Sui, eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, drunk and dreaming of life. It is said that once Emperor Wen of Sui met him, Chen Shubao actually instigated Emperor Wen of Sui how to collect the beauties of the world, and Emperor Wen of Sui also cried and laughed and said: If I learn from you, I will be the king of the dead country like you, and Chen Shubao didn't mind after hearing it.
In the end, I saw that later generations used the door outside the building, which was used to satirize his heartlessness, but he died of illness in Luoyang sixteen years after surrendering to the Sui Dynasty.
