Text Chapter 153 Shangguan Wan'er
In front of the hall in front of the front hall of the Leveling and Quasi-Quasi Agency, Guan Ming, who was close to him, secretly pulled his sleeves, and stretched his mouth to a beautiful and glamorous woman in front of the stairs.
Seeing Li Zhi's confused expression, he said in a low voice: "This woman is amazing, she is Shangguan Wan'er, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shangguanyi, and she is known as the first talented woman in the dynasty." ”
Li Zhixin was shocked, Shangguan Wan'er was not just the first talented woman of the dynasty, but the annals of later generations raised her literary status to a very high level, and she was ranked as one of the four talented women in ancient times.
But this woman's life experience is wonderful, far from being comparable to the name in literature, and it is more suspected of being poisoned by Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, but about this argument, the annals of later dynasties and generations are different, and there is no unified argument.
Grandfather Shangguan Yi was the prime minister of the third grade twenty years ago, and later Gaozong was dissatisfied with the martial queen's domineering, Shangguan Yi suggested to Gaozong that it should be abolished, and Gaozong also thought so, and Shangguan Yi drafted the edict. The Empress Wu wept and pleased, and the matter was suffixed, and since then the Empress Wu has hated Shangguanyi.
Eighteen years ago, Shangguan Yi was executed, his family property and population were confiscated, and one of his sons, Shangguan Tingzhi, was also killed at the same time, and this person was Shangguan Wan'er's biological father.
During the period of being a slave in the court, under the careful cultivation of her mother, Shangguan Wan'er was familiar with poetry and books, not only able to recite poems and texts, but also knowledgeable and intelligent.
Shangguan Wan'er was trapped in the palace all her life, but when she reached the age of marriage, she couldn't enjoy the happiness that ordinary women should have, although she was deeply favored by Wu Zetian at the age of fourteen, and ordered to be exempted from her slave status, set up as a talent, and let her be in charge of the palace edict, but there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor had only one, although she had a glorious and rich life, but she couldn't get a sincere feeling.
This is a woman who has stayed in history with Wu Zetian for a long time, she was killed by Wu Zetian in her infancy, but she was entangled with Wu Zetian in love and hatred all her life.
She grew up with the three princes of Emperor Zetian as childhood sweethearts and grievances, and under the political suppression, one crown prince after another abandoned her one after another.
History says that after Empress Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, Shangguan Wan'er was extremely sincere in her secular love with the empress's nephew Wu Sansi and her spiritual love with Cui Xiang, but at the most critical time, she sent them into the hands of other women.
Although it is also widely said and miscellaneous, it is an indisputable fact that this woman has experienced the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of Wu Zhou, the recovery of Li Tang and the ugly Wuwei Rebellion, but she has relied on trickery and escaped the catastrophe of extinction again and again, and even weighed the country and manipulated the fate of the entire dynasty behind the scenes, but it is an indisputable fact.
It is said that there is also a young Li Longji, that is, the later Tang Xuanzong, in order to escape her control, resolutely hung the blade above her head, but at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he was busy compiling her poems into a book.
But all this is not the main reason for Li Zhiwei's shock, because in the figure of Yuli Pavilion not far away, and the exquisite and beautiful face that is almost unearthly, he actually faintly noticed a trace of Pang Qi's body.
It is a kind of fairy spirit that is very different from ordinary people, although it is not as obvious as the charm of Pang Qi's body, but it also has a vague spiritual rhyme, perhaps because of this, she ended up bewitching and gorgeous, beautiful and light, with a smile and a smile, and her own demeanor.
In an instant, he thought of another legend about this woman.
Legend has it that when Shangguan Wan'er was about to give birth, her mother Zheng dreamed of a giant and gave her a scale: "Hold this to weigh the corporal of the world." Zheng expected that in the womb, there must be a man, and he would be able to weigh the world's talents in the future, but who knew that he would give birth to a daughter, and Zheng was very unhappy in his heart.
This Wan'er has a beautiful face, but she is better than her mother, she has grown into a smart and clever child, and she was only a full moon when she was born. ”
Wan'er is responding to each other, and now it is true that inside and outside the court, chanting poetry has become a trend, about this, Li Zhi believes that this is not unrelated to the general trend of the former Tang Dynasty, plus the deliberate rendering of the Empress Wu at that time.
Later, Zhongzong Li Xian's wife Wei Hou did not work on poetry, that is, Wan'er caught the knife on her behalf, and the ministers also knew that it was not written by the emperor himself, but she had to admit that she was self-controlled, and she was particularly praised, and Empress Wei spoiled Wan'er even more.
In the future, Wan'er will focus on internal affairs, evaluate the world's poetry and literature on behalf of the imperial court, and really "weigh the corporal of the world", because the historical book of this matter is too magical, Li Zhi even compared his background with Pang Ti.
Now that the origin of the magic on Pang Cry's body has not yet been clarified, Li Zhi has also become wary of this Shangguan Wan'er.
It's a pity that before he could think of a way to deal with it in his heart, at this time, that Shangguan Wan'er actually came to him with a lotus.
Guan Ming glanced at him secretly, followed by the old men in front of him, and walked quickly into the hall.
"The little girl has been waiting here for a long time, and her appearance is too abrupt, and I hope Mr. Li will not blame the little woman in his heart!" Shangguan Wan'er is as graceful as a piano, with tenderness and flattery.
"Shangguan is a five-grade female official, why is the little woman called, call me a nine-grade county man, I don't know how to deal with it for a while!" Li Zhi secretly said to himself that this banshee is evil, he has the foresight of the future, and he knows what this person is, otherwise people who don't know the details will definitely be tempted by his tender and charming attitude at this time.
Talent is a kind of court female official, also a concubine, can also be regarded as the emperor, princes' concubines and palace maids, the Tang Dynasty system is set as the palace official is the five grades, compared to the five officials.
At the same time, it is also the highest title of the prince and concubine, second only to the main room, such as Wu Zetian has been a talented person of Tang Taizong, usually the daughter of a famous eunuch is quite talented, only eligible for this title, in order to prepare for the princess and the princess to accompany the school, so Li Zhi has this answer.
"Didn't Mr. Li's future father-in-law mention to you that because of your outstanding merits, the title has been promoted to the rank of the fifth-grade founding county male?" Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head slightly, so that the corner of the neck show was slightly exposed, and a shy smile appeared on the side of the cherry mouth.
"I've heard a little, but I haven't received the emperor's edict, so it's not accurate! Besides, it is only from the five grades, and it is still inferior to the five grades of the top officials and talented women! Even if he knew that this woman had the intention of seducing, Li Zhi could not show his true mentality, this person would gain momentum in the future, and he would be a favorite minister around Empress Wu and Empress Wei.
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so humble at a young age, and he has all the arts, it's really rare! This time, the leader of the poetry conference is none other than you, and it is a sure thing to be promoted by the imperial court again, and it is not a matter of time before you surpass the little woman in an instant? Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were even more flattering.
"Hehe, Shangguan Cainu is joking, there is no one in the eight characters, I don't dare to have such a far-sighted extravagant idea!"
"Mr. Li, can you not call the little girl Shangguan and talented girl, it doesn't sound smooth! How about calling me Wan'er from now on? You are twenty years old this year, Wan'er, I am two years younger than you, isn't it good to call Wan'er sister? ”
"Wan'er is good, I don't dare to take the word sister!"
"Then Wan'er, really, a dignified six-foot-tall man, how can he be so overly hypocritical? Shh ”
In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was about 30.7cm today, and six feet was equivalent to one meter nine in modern times.
"I know that Wan'er is also here to take the third round of the examination, but I don't know what to do outside this hall?" Li Zhi didn't dare to take this woman's words too deeply, and it would be a huge trouble to fall into this person's charm trap from then on.
"Wan'er is waiting for you here!" Shangguan Wan'er still put on her posture of luring people to death, "But Wan'er knows that there are two beautiful unmarried ladies by Mr. Li's side, so she doesn't dare to think about Mr. Li in the slightest!" Staying here is to invite Mr. Li to appreciate Wan'er's clumsy work, and simply to meet friends with the text, isn't it that Mr. Li has misunderstood? ”
She was quite narrow-minded in her words, and handed over a page of rice paper folded into paper, which had been cut into small and luxurious plain paper, and at present, Li Zhi's paper mill had not yet officially produced such a size of paper used to inscribe or write letters in ancient times.
The ancient literati made friends with the ancient literati with very important exchanges and friendship etiquette, and the literati made friends with light property and valued friendship and learning, so they mostly replied with poems and texts, and showed their talents and attitudes.
Singing remuneration is a common way, that is, to repay each other with poetry, and when banquets and other gatherings, it is not allowed to have wine without poetry, so the Tang Dynasty was very popular at that time.
"I didn't expect Wan'er to also use Zhengqing Wenqitang rice paper? This kind of plain paper has not yet been produced, for the next batch of paper materials, then prepare some for you in advance, save yourself and cut it yourself! Li Zhi diverted the topic in time to avoid Shangguan Wan'er's increasingly focused and charming eyes.
"I was about to ask about it! Let's talk about it, you have to remember when the time comes! Let's see it at your leisure, it's coming soon, so we'll get in as soon as possible! The next time you give a plain note, you can return this piece of poetry, but you need to note Mr. Li's personal opinion, so that it is convenient for my sister to repair and repair the flaws! I can't teach you two ladies to meet, so as not to have another life. ”
Her vague and ambiguous words made Li Zhi even more afraid to accept it, and hurriedly turned sideways to point in the direction, so that he could go first.
Then on the way, Li Yiyi's wisps of true qi infiltrated, and it was known that the poem was Shangguan Wan'er's famous masterpiece "Colorful Book Resentment": At the beginning of Yexia Dongting, Sijun was more than 10,000 miles. The fragrance of the dew is cold, and the moon falls in the void. If you want to play Jiangnan song, you can covet the book of Jibei. There is no other meaning in the book, but a long time away.
This is a five-character poem, and the emotional expression of this poem goes beyond the usual tone of court poetry, and such a long longing is a rare and affectionate work in court poetry.
This poem obviously embodies Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts about someone, but it is not a real self-reflection, but a work of imagination, deliberately imitating the poem of resentment, writing about the grievances of the wife who misses her husband.
According to the "Old Tang Book", later generations raised someone as Li Xian, that is, the later Tang Zhongzong, because Tang Zhongzong Li Xian took over the imperial power from the aging Wu Zetian, and the old man Shangguan Wan'er immediately took refuge, so she was canonized as Zhaorong, in fact, she was the emperor's little wife.
Purely on its literary style, Li Zhi is still very happy to make friends with it, Shangguan Wan'er's poems, not because of people's nonsense, appreciated by literary historians of the past dynasties, but also loved by famous calligraphers of the past dynasties, a piece of Fu Mountain cursive script of the Shanxi Museum in later generations, Shangguan Zhaorong is Shangguan Zhaorong's "You Changning Gong Mainstream Cup Pond Twenty-five Twenty-Three" poem axis, which is regarded as a hand-me-down work.
And this woman can make poems according to the title when she is 14 years old, and the text is smooth, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the language is beautiful, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji after killing her, vigorously collected Shangguan Wan'er's poems, and then specially for her to produce more than 20 volumes of poetry collection "Tang Zhaorong Shangguan's Anthology", which shows that his talent is peerless.
It's just that this person is very ambitious, and he is good at serving carefully, bending his will to welcome, and he is good at pleasing his master, but after gaining power, he has repeatedly involved in participating in government affairs, and he is even more greedy for bed style, and even demons. Adultery and desecration of the palace are already people that Li Zhi is afraid to avoid.
However, this person is also ill-fated, and her life has been extremely bumpy, although she once enjoyed all the glory and power, but she still has to look up to the emperor, the queen, and the princess, and still have to go against her will to bend and obey, and I am afraid that only she knows the joys and sorrows. Later, she did not escape her doom and became a victim of the struggle for imperial power.
