Chapter 5: The Song of Long Hatred
Lu Yicheng raised his eyebrows, sighed, looked at his grandson, and said: "After Tang Xuanzong created a prosperous era, Tang Xuanzong gradually began to be satisfied and indulged in pleasure. There is no longer the spirit of hard work before, and there is no frugality of reform. The upright Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling and others were dismissed one after another, and Li Linfu climbed to the top of the ranks. Later, Tang Xuanzong was greedy for indulging in beauty and pleasure, and even his son's wife Yang Yuhuan did not let go, ignored political affairs, and handed over power to Yang Yuhuan's brother Yang Guozhong, which led to chaos in the government and government, economic exhaustion, and misery of the people's lives, and the Anshi Rebellion. ”
An Lushan led the rebels to march straight into the Tang capital of Chang'an. In order to survive, Tang Xuanzong took most of the treasures and money in the palace and fled for his life, thus entering the peak of the Anshi Rebellion. During this period, because of the drag of mundane things and money, he was caught up by the rebels several times, but fortunately, there were soldiers to protect him and survive. Later, he fled to Maweipo, and the accompanying soldiers mutinied, killed Yang Guozhong, and forced Tang Xuanzong to hang Yang Guifei, in order to speed up the escape, it was decided to first bring out the money and treasures in a place, and then find it back after the limelight passed, as a recruitment of troops, and the purpose of Qingshan to make a comeback. ”
"It's just that it backfired, Tang Xuanzong wasted a lot of time by delaying like this, and was finally caught up by the rebels in Shouchun Village, surrounded and annihilated. An Lushan and other bandits searched almost everywhere, but they still couldn't find the wealth and treasures that Tang Xuanzong brought out of the palace. Later, the traitor Zhu Wen helped Tang Xuanzong's nephew Li Ji to be the emperor, raised the banner of rebellion, claimed to eliminate the bandits, supported the Li family, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the country return to the scene when the Kaiyuan Dynasty was prosperous. The rebels fought with An Lushan and other rebel bandits for three months, with rivers of blood and countless casualties, and finally An Lushan and other rebels were defeated due to the lack of two important things: soldier money. ”
Before the arrival of the righteous army, An Lushan fled in a hurry with 2,000 personal soldiers, and contracted a cold on the way, coupled with depression and sadness, and died of illness on the way two months later, so that the Anshi Rebellion, which lasted for several years, was finally calmed down. Two years later, the Tang Dynasty mourned Emperor Li Ji, called himself the emperor, built the capital Kaifeng, the country name was "Liang", the history called "Hou Liang", the descendants called it Hou Liang Taizu, since then the Tang Dynasty ended 289 years of rule, China entered the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. Zhu Wen was brutal by nature, killing people like mustard, his wife Zhang was able to persuade when she was alive, but after her death, she was wanton ****, even incest, and even her daughter-in-law had to go to the palace to sleep, and later suffered retribution and was assassinated by his third son Zhu Youqi, and a generation of traitors disappeared. ”
"In later times, Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty commented on Zhu Wen in his great historical work "Zizhi Tongjian" as follows: "Zhu Wen was in the land of four wars, slightly the same as Cao Cao, but cunning. Zhu Wen was the emperor in the troubled times, and his wife Zhang made great contributions. However, Zhu Wenqi is shameless and obscene by nature, unjustly kills his subordinates, and is greedy for wine. Seek power and usurp the throne, abolish the Tang Emperor Li Ji, proclaim himself emperor, build the capital Kaifeng, and the country name is 'Daliang'. ”
"At the beginning of Zhu Wenchu's reign as emperor, he carried out reforms, introduced several policies that were beneficial to the people, and under the influence and persuasion of his wife Zhang Hui, his nature was much more restrained. Later, after a long time, and Zhu Wen's wife also died, Zhu Wen's nature could not be contained, and he was exposed, indulged in his voice, ignored the government, increased taxes, greedy for pleasure, and then had incest with his daughter-in-law, and finally did not listen to the advice, and even killed the person who was dissuaded by the words under the knife, and finally got retribution and was assassinated by his third son Zhu Youqi. (Note 1)
Explanation 1: This story is pure nonsense. I checked Baidu on the Internet, and it was written that Tang Xuanzong fled in panic before the fall of Chang'an. When he arrived at Maweipo (Xingpingxi, Shaanxi), the accompanying soldiers mutinied, killed Yang Guozhong, and forced Xuanzong to hang Yang Guifei. Tang Xuanzong eventually fled to Chengdu. The crown prince Li Heng fled to Shuofang, and was in Lingwu, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, Suzong. Regarding Sima Guang's comment on Zhu Wen in "Zizhi Tongjian", there is no such thing at all.
Speaking of this, Lu Yicheng paused again.
Originally, Lu Weiguo still wanted to pat his ass, and was ready to clap his hands, applaud, and repeat the old words, but when he saw that his grandfather's expression was not quite right, he held back the sycophant and took back the hand of patting the sycophant, and silently looked at his grandfather's vicissitudes of life, and his grandfather's face seemed to be gloomy, but then his expression quickly returned to normal.
I saw Lu Yicheng sigh, looked up at the sky, and after a while, turned his head, looked at his grandson, and said with feeling: "Alas! Tang Xuanzong's good country was taken away because he was addicted to indulgent vocal music and Yang Yuhuan's brother, and it led to the outbreak of war, the people's lives were miserable, and countless casualties were killed. You kid must keep your mind in the future, don't be fooled by women. Later, the great poet Bai Juyi, in order to use the past to satirize the present and let future generations learn a lesson, wrote the famous "Song of Long Hatred". ”
Lu Weiguo seemed to be interested, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Is the song of long hatred well written? Grandpa, do you remember the content? Tell me about it?"
Lu Yicheng smiled slightly and said, "Remember, of course I remember." It's my favorite poem, how could I forget it?
Lu Weiguo's face was full of joy, and the whole person seemed to see a hungry dog with big bones, so he almost drooled, and said excitedly: "Really? It's really good." Tell me about it!"
When Lu Yicheng saw his grandson's appearance, he was very happy, and slowly turned his back-
The Han Emperor was heavy on the country, and Yuyu couldn't ask for it for many years.

In order to appreciate the king's thoughts, he taught the priests to look diligently.
Emptying and controlling the air is like electricity, ascending to heaven and earth.
The upper and lower yellow springs are poor, and the two places are gone.
Suddenly, I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain was in the ethereal space.
The pavilion is exquisite, and there are many fairies.
There is a character that is too true, and the appearance of snow skin is uneven.

The wind blows the fairy robe fluttering, like a neon dress and feather dance.

Gazing at the king with affection, he said goodbye to the two dim.
The Zhaoyang Palace is full of love, and the sun and moon are long in the Penglai Palace.
Looking back at the world, I didn't see Chang'an and saw the dust and fog.
Only the old things will be affectionate, and the alloy hairpin will be sent.
The hairpin leaves a one-fold fan, and the hairpin breaks the gold and divides it.
But the heart of the religion is like Jin Tianjian, and the heavens and the earth will meet.
The parting words are re-sent, and there is an oath in the words.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, when no one whispered in the middle of the night.
In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch.
The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred lasts forever.
As soon as Lu Weiguo heard it, he actually remembered eight or nine out of tenths, although he didn't seem to understand it, and he couldn't understand some places, but he still knew what he was saying, and he felt that the poems that were particularly well written were easy to pick up, such as - "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color." "In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch." "The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred lasts forever. ", "There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and 3,000 are pampered in one. And so on, no wonder this poem will be called a famous poem through the ages, and Bai Juyi will be called a great poet.
But after all, Lu Weiguo is only twelve or thirteen years old, he is not very old, and he does not have a lot of experience and literacy, so many of the rare words and sentences in the ancient poem "Song of Long Hatred" are still unreadable, so he keeps pointing them out and asking his grandfather. Lu Yicheng has a good personality and is quite willing to teach his grandson, so he explained to Lu Weiguo one by one, Lu Weiguo has strong comprehension, is eager to learn and smart, and learns quickly.
Lu Weiguo almost ate the whole song under his grandfather's explanation
The meaning of the poem, suddenly as if I remembered something, quietly looked ahead, as if thinking about something.
Not long after, Lu Weiguo's face showed a suddenly broad and cheerful look, looked at his grandfather, and asked, "Grandpa, how do you know?
