076 Tang Ji's Tragedy

Liu Wei (176 – March 6, 190), the thirteenth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was the eldest son of Emperor Liu Hong and Empress He of the Han Dynasty.

From the 13th day of April in the first year of Guangxi to the first day of September in the first year of Zhaoning, he reigned from May 15, 189 to September 28, 189.

He reigned four months and thirteen days.

He was only 14 years old when he died, did he have a concubine or something?

There really is, she is Tang Ji.

Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty appeared in the second to fourth episodes of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luo Guanzhong, and his life is basically consistent with historical facts, however, after Liu Wei was abolished in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he was caught by Dong Zhuo for making a "poem of resentment", and was killed by Li Ru in Yong'an Palace on the same day as his mother Empress Dowager He and his wife Tang Ji.

Empress Dowager He was pushed downstairs and fell to death by Li Ru, Liu Wei was poisoned to death, and Tang Ji was hanged.

It's a bit of a fiction.

…… ……

Historically, Empress Dowager He, who was forced to move to Yong'an Palace, was poisoned first, Liu Bian, who was placed in the cabinet without composing poems, was forced to take poisoned wine and died, and Tang Ji lived until after the Li Yu (què) rebellion.

Jia Xu learned that Tang Ji was still alive and told Emperor Xian, who named her Princess Hongnong and spent the rest of her life in King Hongnong's cemetery, but she didn't know when she would die.

In addition, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" puts the murder of Liu Zhuo before the heroes crusade against Dong Zhuo, in fact, not long after Liu Wei was deposed, the Kwantung heroes have already raised the banner of crusading against Dong Zhuo.

…… ……

Let's look back at that sad scene: Liu Wei was deposed by Dong Zhuo and detained in a small building.

Dong Zhuo asked Zhongshu to order Li Rujin to offer poisonous wine, saying, "Taking this wine can ward off evil." ”

Liu Wei said, "I'm not sick, this is just trying to kill me!" ”

So he refused to drink it.

Li Ru forced Liu Wei to drink, and Liu Wei said goodbye to Tang Ji and the palace maid for the wine order and banquet.

The liquor order went to Liu Bian's place, and Liu Bian sang sadly:

"Heaven is impermanent,

Now that's about to change,

How hard my life is;

I gave up the emperor's honor of all vehicles and retreated to the place,

can only be a vassal king;

I was persecuted by rebellious courtiers, and my life was short;

is about to pass away, and I want to be separated from you yin and yang. ”

( The original text is:

"Heaven is easy for me, how difficult it is for me,

Abandon the ten thousand times and retreat to the domain.

When the rebel sees that his life is not delayed,

The passing will be gone, and you will be suitable for the mystery. ”

The author is suspected to be Luo Guanzhong)

So Tang Ji got up and danced, raised Yang flicked his sleeves, danced, and sang with Liu Wei's song:

"Liu Han's world is falling apart,

was seized by heroes from all walks of life;

As the emperor's favorite concubine,

And lives are at stake;

Being so lonely filled my heart with infinite sorrow. ”

(The original text is:

"After the emperor collapsed, the earth fell,

As an emperor, his life was devastated.

Death and life are different from now on,

However, he was lonely and sad in his heart. ”

This poem is excerpted from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and the author is suspected to be Fan Ye of the Song Dynasty)

After singing, Tang Ji wept and whimpered, and everyone present was sad.

Liu Wei said to Tang Ji, "You are the concubine of the emperor's family, and you will definitely not become the wife of officials and ordinary people; If you can clean yourself, I will be happy. From now on, we will be separated by yin and yang, and we will never see each other again. ”

After saying that, he drank the poisoned wine and fell to the ground and died.

Continuing to write a novel:

Tang Ji said to Li Ru, "Wine!" ”

Li Ru was stunned for a moment and said, "There is only that cup, and I let King Hongnong Huai drink it, and the wood (gone) is gone." ”

"Dong Dabeard is so stingy," Tang Ji said, "It doesn't matter enough poisonous wine?" ”

Li Ru said, "Wood (no) has wood (no), real wood (no) has." Mrs. Tang must not be blamed. ”

Tang Ji said, "Hey, I'm the only one left, how can I live in this world!" ”

Tang Ji then sang:

"There is a way that is a hundred days of grace for a husband and wife,

Four months and thirteen days of husband and wife are like the depths of the sea,

I didn't leave you a man and a woman,

To the underworld to give birth to half of the city for you! ”

(That's all for the original text.) The author is the Sprinkle family. )

Liu Wei was fourteen years old when he died, and it is estimated that Tang Ji was only twelve or thirteen years old. If a girl of her age is still frequently coquettish with her parents and skips school to go to the game hall.

…… ……

When Tang Ji returned to her hometown of Yingchuan, her father would marry her off, but Tang Ji would rather die than agree.

Her father, Tang Mao, said, "You are so young, you are widowed, when will you be a leader?" ”

Tang Ji said, "I am small, but I am big. Besides, my ex-husband was the emperor of one dynasty, how can I remarry if I am out of moderation? You let me remarry, and I will only respond to you with one death! ”

Tang Mao sighed and didn't say anything more.

…… ……

When Li Yu broke through Chang'an, confiscated the Kanto region, got Tang Ji, and wanted to marry her, Tang Ji just didn't comply, and Li Yu didn't marry Tang Ji in the end.

After Shangshu Jia Xu heard about this, he told Emperor Liu Xie of Han Xian the matter as it was.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty felt sad, welcomed Tang Ji to the back garden of the palace, and asked the court attendants to worship her as the princess of Hongnong with a festival (a kind of official certificate), and placed her in the cemetery of the late King Hongnong.

Tang Ji spent the rest of her life in the cemetery.
