Chapter 345: Alluring City and Country (Seeking Points, Pushing and Receiving Reviews)

In this way, wouldn't the words that describe the beauty of women in our country have to add a dumping truck in the future?

Since ancient times, the word that has been circulated in our country to describe the beauty of women is to fall into the city and the country.

Alluring the city and the country originally referred to the death of the country because of women. Later, many women were described as extremely beautiful.

In the Han Dynasty, the three Li brothers and sisters of Zhongshan went to the capital Chang'an to develop, and Li Yannian entered the palace Yuefu, and he recommended his sister to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a peerless beauty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy to summon Li Yannian's sister and named her his wife, giving birth to his fifth son, Liu Ji (King of Changyi), and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very fond of this stunning lady.

Tracing back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu's "Han Shu, Passed Down by Relatives, Lady Xiaowu Li": "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, who look at the city and then the country. This phrase comes from the poem of the musician Li Yannian during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Li Yannian understands music and rhythm, is good at choreography, and Emperor Wu loves him. Every time a new sound changes, everyone who hears it is moved. On the Yannian service, he danced and sang: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent." One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country, beautiful women are hard to get!" Shang sighed and said: "Good! It is a summons to see it, and it is really beautiful and good at dancing, so it is fortunate. After Emperor Wu heard this song, he accepted his sister as a concubine, which is known as "Mrs. Li" in history.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (156~87 BC), that is, Liu Che. Reigned 140 BC ~ 87 BC. Although there are many beauties in the harem of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mrs. Wang died early, Wei Zifu is old, and none of the remaining ones have been favored by Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu wanted to visit the stunning beauty again, but he couldn't get his wish. The court musician Li Yannian was proficient in music and rhythm, and won the favor of Emperor Wu, and the music he made would be inexplicably moved by anyone who heard it. Li Yannian has a younger sister named Li Yan, who is a singer girl, born with cloudy sideburns, graceful and beautiful, Chu Chu is moving, especially good at singing and dancing. Li Yannian wanted to dedicate her to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a concubine. But because of his humble family background, it was inconvenient to talk to himself, so he asked Princess Pingyang to recommend him.

One day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was drinking in the palace, Princess Pingyang was also present, and Li Yannian was at a banquet. When the wine was drunk, Li Yannian danced and sang a new song written by himself: "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent." One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country, it is difficult to get a beautiful woman. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard Li Yannian singing, he touched the long-hidden heart, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "How can there be the kind of beauty you sing in the world?" Princess Pingyang figured out the meaning of Li Yannian's song on the side, so she took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Yannian's little sister is a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city." Emperor Wu's heart moved, and he immediately ordered to summon the Li family into the palace. Soon Li Yannian introduced his sister. When Emperor Wu looked at it, he really had a beautiful posture and a light body. Emperor Wu then accepted Li as his concubine and was called Mrs. Li. A year later, Mrs. Li gave birth to a son and was named the king of Changyi.

Who knew that the moon was cloudy and sunny, and Mrs. Li had only been in the palace for a few years, but unfortunately she was sick, and soon became terminally ill until she was bedridden. Emperor Wu was so sad that he went to see her in person. When Mrs. Li saw Emperor Wu coming, she hurriedly covered her face with a quilt and said: "The concubine has been sick for a long time, her appearance has been ruined, and she cannot see Your Majesty again. Emperor Wu said: "Madame is critically ill, and it can be cured by non-medicine, so why don't you let me see you again?" Mrs. Li excused herself and said: "The woman is not groomed, she does not see her father, and the concubine really does not dare to meet His Majesty." Emperor Wu said, "Madame, you may wish to see me, I will give you a thousand gold, and worship your brother as an official." Mrs. Li said: "If you don't seal it in the emperor, you won't see it at the first time." Emperor Wu said that he must see her, and uncovered the quilt with his hand, Mrs. Li turned inward, sighing and crying, let Emperor Wu call again and again, Mrs. Li just sobbed alone. Emperor Wu was displeased, and walked away in a rage.

At this time, Mrs. Li's sisters also entered the palace to inquire about the illness, and they were all surprised to see this situation. After Emperor Wu left, they reproached Mrs. Li: "You want to entrust your brother, it is very easy to see Your Majesty, why bother to disobey it?" Mrs. Li sighed and said: "You don't know, the reason why I don't see the emperor is precisely to trust my brother." I was born from a humble background, and the reason why he is attached to me is only because of my usual appearance. Whoever uses color to do things, love relaxation when color declines, and love relaxation is gracious. Today I am sick and dying, and if he sees that my color is very different from before, he will be disgusted, and he will not be able to abandon me, so how can he take care of my brother after I die?"

Mrs. Li died a few days later, and the outcome of the matter was exactly what Mrs. Li expected. Mrs. Li's refusal to see Emperor Wu not only angered him, but aroused his infinite pain, buried Mrs. Li with the queen's ceremony, and ordered the painter to paint her image before her death and hang it in Ganquan Palace. Emperor Wu's longing for Mrs. Li is increasing day by day. He thought of Mrs. Li's words when she was sick, so he named Li Yannian as the lieutenant of the assistant law, and his younger brother Li Guangli was named the second division general Haixi Hou. For Mrs. Li's last words, Emperor Wu can also be called a deep love.

Mrs. Li's elder brother, Li Yannian, was a musician in the Han Dynasty. A native of Zhongshan (now Dingxian County, Hebei), he was born as a musician, good at singing, good at creating new sounds, and served as the assistant lieutenant in Yuefu. He soundtracked the nineteen chapters of "Song of the Suburbs of the Han Dynasty", and imitated Zhang Jian's "Maha Doule" song from the Western Regions, and composed "Twenty-eight Interpretations of New Voices, used in the army, saying" The luck of Mrs. Li is to rely on her brother Li Yannian, a beautiful song of the famous Beijing teacher.
