"This is the last episode of the Tang Dynasty Chronicles series, and all the stories are coming to his end.

In 755, Cen Shen had just arrived in the northwest frontier, and after only a year of garrison, he became the judge of the envoy of the Northwest Court of Anxi, and wrote "Bai Xue Ge Sent the Military Judge to Return to Beijing" when he said goodbye to his predecessor

"Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom." Although the ice and snow are written beautifully, it is bitter cold after all.

After Li Bai traveled from Qiupu, he came to Jing County, and was warmly treated by a local hero, and before leaving, Li Bai wrote a poem affectionately and gave it to the other party.

This poem is called "Gift to Wang Lun", and at this time, the forty-year-old Du Fu finally had an official and a half-job in this year.

Responsible for taking care of weapons, Yu Lu barely supported his family, and after more than ten years of going home to visit, he saw that the people were not living well, so he wrote "Five Hundred Words from Beijing to Fengxian County Yonghuai"

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road" just revealed the hidden disease of the Tang Dynasty, and what he didn't know was that An Lushan was raising troops in Fanyang at this moment, and the Anshi Rebellion, which changed the fate of the Tang Dynasty, finally broke out in the winter of this year.

In 756, An Lushan was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, and then Chang'an fell, the crown prince Li Heng was located in Lingwu, Xuanzong fled to Sichuan and Shu, and different circumstances and choices in the face of history led to different fates of poets, bad luck, such as Wang Wei was captured by the rebels and taken to Luoyang, he forcibly took medicine, and he did not surrender.

When Du Fu heard that the new emperor was on the throne, he immediately ran to face the saint, was arrested on the way, and when he was released, he wrote the sigh poem "The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the grass and trees are deep in the spring of the city".

However, unlike Du Fu, the same down-and-out person in the past, Gao Shi, rose to the top in a few years, and in this year he followed Xuanzong to Sichuan and Shu, and then became the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, and was ordered to crusade against Li Luan, the king of Yong, who took the opportunity to rebel. ”

"Coincidentally, Li Bai, who travels in the mountains and plays in seclusion in the mountains, is envied by the Yongwang army passing through at this moment."

And before he was convicted, he always thought that he finally had the opportunity to serve the country,

In this year, Ma Weipo mutinied, Yang Guifei died, Xuanzong was in pain, and Suzong was forced to ascend the throne.

Reorganizing the dynasty, everything is in chaos and turmoil, and no one is immune.

In 757, Cen Shen and Du Fu and others rushed to Fengxiang where Suzong was located to meet them, Li Bai was sentenced to exile to Yelang because of his defection to King Yong, and Wang Changling was killed by Xiao Xiao in Bozhou at the age of 60.

In this year, An Qingxu killed his father An Lushan, and the Tang army successively recovered Chang'an Luoyang, and when he wanted to deal with the traitors who were ambushed to the enemy at that time, Wang Wei was among them.

Fortunately, he had already written "Ning Bichi" because he pretended to be sick, so as to clarify his ambition, and in addition, because his younger brother was rehabilitated and meritorious, he was pardoned for Wang Wei's swear.

In 759, Guo Ziyi and other envoys of the Nine Sections were defeated in Xiangzhou, and Shi Siming took the opportunity to kill An Qingxu and monopolize power.

In the middle of the court, Gao Shi was transferred to Pengzhou, and Wang Wei became a scholar in the middle school.

Du Fu was demoted to Huazhou the year before, and along the way he wrote the "three officials and three farewells" that will remain in history

Subsequently, he resigned from his position in this year, and his family went to Chengdu, where he settled in Huanhuaxi Thatched Cottage with the help of Yan Wu.

On the way to escape, he still cared about Li Bai, who was exiled to Yelang, and wrote, "Dream Li Bai Two Songs"

"The floating clouds travel all day long, the wanderer does not come for a long time, and the three nights are frequent dreams of the king, and the relatives see the king's will."

And this year encountered a great drought, in order to appease the hearts of the people, amnesty to the world, Li Bai also survived, and he regained his freedom and wrote "Early White Emperor City"

He didn't even know that life and death had drifted so far, and there was always a miss for the old man in the distance.

Everything that follows seems to be predestined.

In 761, Wang Wei resigned from all official positions, had nothing to worry about, and returned to the big dream at the age of 61.

In 762, after Li Bai handed over his life's work to his uncle, he died in Dangtu at the age of 62.

In 763, the Anshi Rebellion subsided, but external troubles arose.

In 765, Gao Shi died at the age of 62.

And the youngest Du Fu watched his former friends wither, and he was helpless.

Over the years, he has traveled all over Sichuan and Shu, sending people under the fence, but he has successively created more than 400 poems such as "Eight Songs of Autumn Xing" and "Traveling Night Book".

Finally, in 770, Du Fu died on a small boat bound for Yueyang at the age of fifty-nine.

Cen Shen also died of illness in a hotel in Chengdu this year.

At this time, it was the fifth year of the Great Calendar, the end of the Tang Dynasty, and that incomparably dazzling era was like yesterday.

Closing his eyes, he seemed to be able to still see He Zhizhang and Li Bai sitting on the ground, drinking three hundred cups together, Meng Haoran got up and said goodbye and traveled far away, Wang Wei sat alone by the stream, and never stayed.
