Historical stories of Tang dynasty 1
After putting down the rebellion in Xu Jingye, Wu Zetian was determined to get rid of the imperial clan and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who opposed her. However, who is secretly against her, and how can we know? Therefore, she ordered the launch of a national informer. Regardless of the size of officials, ordinary people, as long as they find someone rebellious, they can report directly to her. Local officials are not allowed to ask questions themselves when they meet their informers. They must prepare chariots and horses for the informers, provide excellent food, send people to escort them to the Queen Mother's palace, and be personally summoned by Wu Zetian. If the informer's information is true, the informer can become an official immediately; If it is found to be inconsistent with the facts, it will not be investigated for false accusation and frame-up. As a result, of course, there are more and more informers in all directions. Wu Zetian received a lot of information, and someone wanted to interrogate her. Suo Yuanli, a general of the conference semifinals, started as a storyteller. Wu Zetian sent him to deal with rebellion cases. Suo Yuanli is an extremely cruel guy. When trying a case, with or without evidence, he first used punishment to force the prisoner to give up an accomplice. The prisoner couldn't stand the punishment, so he made some false confessions at random, so that when he interrogated a person, dozens or hundreds of people would be implicated. The wider the involvement, the bigger the case. Suo Yuanli reported to the Empress Dowager, who praised him for his ability. Some officials saw that Suo Yuanli was appreciated by the Empress Dowager and began to learn from Suo Yuanli. The most cruel of them are Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen. Each of them has hundreds of hooligans who specialize in informers. As long as they think someone is suspected of rebellion, they send people to snitch in several places at the same time and fabricate a lot of evidence. Stranger still, Lai Junchen also specially compiled a book "Weaving Instructions" to teach Luo Zhi the means of guilt.
Historical stories of Tang Dynasty II
In the early days of Emperor Taizong's accession to the throne, although the war in the Central Plains had ended, the western border was still very unstable. In particular, East Turkistan was still very powerful at that time and became the main threat of the Tang Dynasty. After the rise of Taiyuan, Tang Gaozu was bent on dealing with the Sui Dynasty and had to compromise to maintain a good relationship with East Turkistan. However, the nobles of East Turkistan constantly invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which made this place restless.
Less than 20 days after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Li Jie Hanhan of East Turkic led more than 100,000 troops to the Weihe River, only 40 miles away from Chang 'an. Jie Li thought that Emperor Taizong had just acceded to the throne and might not dare to resist. First, he sent an envoy to Chang 'an to see Emperor Taizong, threatening that one million Turks would arrive soon. Emperor Taizong is a man who has seen the world. He ignored the threat of Valerian and detained the emissary. He first arranged Tang Jun in Chang 'an. So, he personally took six generals, such as Fang, and rode to the small bridge by the Wei River, and asked them to come out to negotiate across the river.
Valeria was a little surprised to hear that the emissary had been detained. See emperor Taizong personally, behind Tang Jun fluttering in the wind, uniform, can't help but be afraid. He took the Turkish generals across the Weihe River and dismounted to visit Taizong.
Emperor Taizong said to Jie Li across the Wei River, "Our two families have made an agreement, and we have not given you less gold and silk for several years. Why do you want to betray your faith and invade? "
Jie Li was scolded to have nothing to say and expressed his willingness to make peace. Two days later, the two sides made a Covenant on the temporary bridge. Then, valerian quit.
Since then, Emperor Taizong has strengthened the training of soldiers and called hundreds of soldiers to practice bows and arrows in front of the temple every day. He told the soldiers? Foreign invasion is common, not terrible. I am afraid that if the border is a little more stable, people will covet comfort and forget the war, and the enemy will not be able to resist it. From now on, I will be a teacher and teach you bow and arrow. I will be a general in wartime and lead you against the enemy. "
With the encouragement of Emperor Taizong, the soldiers concentrated on practicing martial arts, and within a few years, they trained a group of elite troops.
The next year, there was a heavy snow in the north. Many livestock in East Turkistan died. There is famine in the northern desert. Jie Li Khan strengthened the oppression of other tribes, which caused all tribes to resist. Valerian sent his cousin Tully to suppress it, but he was defeated. After Tully fled back, he was beaten by Jie Li. So, the two turned against each other and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Taizong seized this opportunity and sent four generals, including Li Jing and Xu Shiqi, with more than 100,000 troops. Under the command of Li Jing, he attacked Turks in different ways.
Li Jing was a famous strategist in the early years of Tang Dynasty, and he was proficient in the art of war. At the end of Sui Dynasty, he entered the Tang Dynasty and made many achievements in the unified war of the Tang Dynasty.
In 630 AD, Li Jing personally led 3000 elite cavalry, set out from Mayi, took advantage of valerian, and marched overnight, approaching the Turkic camp. Jie Li was unprepared and was surprised to find that Tang Jun suddenly appeared. The soldier also panicked and said, "This time, the Tang Dynasty must have mobilized the national army. Otherwise, how could Excavate go deep alone?
Before we reached Tang Jun, the Turks were in chaos. Excavate also sent spies to go deep into Turkic internal activities to persuade Valerie, a confidant, to surrender. Valeria saw that the situation was not good and sneaked away.
Excavate captured Dingxiang and won a great victory. Emperor Taizong was very happy and said, "In the pre-Han Dynasty, Li Ling led an army of 5,000, but it was a pity that he was captured by the Huns." Now you go deep behind enemy lines with 3,000 Qingqi, conquer Dingxiang and shock the north. This is a rare event since ancient times! "
Valerian fled to the north of Yinshan Mountain, fearing that Tang Jun would continue to catch up, and sent messengers to Chang 'an for peace, and said that he would personally appear before him. On the one hand, Emperor Taizong sent Tang Jian to Turkey to show appeasement; And ordered Li Jing to lead troops to see Jie Li.
Li Jing led his troops to Baidao (northwest of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) and met Xu Shiqi. The two men discussed how to deal with it. Li Jing said, "Although Jie Li was defeated, there were many people. If we let him get away, it will be difficult for us to chase him in the future. We only need to select 10,000 soldiers, bring 20 days of food, and follow the attack, and we will be able to capture Jie Li alive. " Xu Shiqi also agrees with this opinion. The two armies headed for Yinshan Mountain.
In fact, the peace of Jieli Khan is just a delaying tactic. He wanted to wait until the grass was green and the horse was fat, and then fled to Mobei. When he saw Tang Jian coming, he thought that Emperor Taizong had been played by him, secretly pleased, and naturally relaxed his guard.
That evening, Excavate and Xu Shiji led Tang Jun to Yinshan, and ordered the Ministry to lead two hundred Qingqi, braving the night fog and marching quietly. By the time Tang Jun was discovered by the Turkish outpost, Tang Jun was only seven miles away from Valerian's camp.
Valerian learned that Tang Jun cavalry was coming, so he quickly found Tang Jian, who had seen the opportunity to escape and return to Tang Ying. Jie Li got on a swift horse and ran away. Excavate command Tang Jun after, Turkish soldiers no kou, a mess. Tang Jun annihilated more than 10,000 Turkish soldiers and captured a large number of prisoners and livestock.
Valeriana fled everywhere and finally hid in the barren hills with several Qin Bing. He was caught by his men and handed over to Tang Jun, who was later escorted to Chang 'an.
The once powerful East Turkistan perished. Emperor Taizong did not kill the prisoners. In the original place of East Turkistan, a viceroy was set up, and the Turkic nobles were appointed as viceroy to manage the Turkic ministries.
This victory enhanced the prestige of Emperor Taizong among the nationalities in northwest China. This year, Uighur and other leaders of all ethnic groups came to Chang 'an to appear before Emperor Taizong, and made him their common leader, honoring him as "Tiankhan".
Since then, people of all ethnic groups in the western regions and people from many Asian countries have been coming to Chang 'an. During this period, Xuanzang, a famous monk in China, also traveled to Tianzhu through the western countries.
Historical stories of Tang dynasty 3
Xuanzang is a monk in Chang 'an Ji 'an. Chen Yi (Hu He) was born in Gou's family in Luozhou (now Gou's town, Yanshi, Henan). He became a monk at the age of thirteen and studied Buddhism seriously. Later, I learned from teachers everywhere and became proficient in Buddhist classics. He is honored as the master of Sanzang (Sanzang is the general name of Buddhist classics). He found many mistakes in the original translation of Buddhist scriptures, and heard that there were many Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu, so he decided to study in Tianzhu.
In 629 (627), he set out from Chang 'an and arrived in Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu). At that time, the court banned the Tang people from leaving the country. He was found by the border guards in Liangzhou and told to return to Chang 'an. He escaped from the frontier inspection station and went west to Guazhou (now Anxi, Gansu) near Yumenguan.
In Guazhou, Xuanzang learned that there were five fortresses outside Yumenguan, separated by hundreds of miles. There is no water grass in the middle, but there is water next to the fort and soldiers guard it. By this time, officials in Liangzhou had discovered that he had crossed the line and sent a document to Guazhou to arrest him. If you go through the fortress, you will be caught by soldiers.
When Xuanzang was at a loss, he met a local Hu Ren named Guan Shi (pán) Tuo, who was willing to lead him.
Xuanzang was overjoyed, sold his clothes, changed two horses, set out overnight with stones, and finally got out of Yumen Pass. They slept on the grass, ready to continue to the west.
I didn't expect that Shi Shutuo had gone far, so I didn't want to go any further, and even wanted to murder Xuanzang. Xuanzang found that he was up to no good and sent him away.
After that, Xuanzang groped his way forward in the desert outside the customs. It took about eighty miles to reach the first fortress. Afraid of being discovered by the defenders, they hid in the sand ditch during the day and waited until dark to get close to the water source in front of the fort. He was trying to put water in a leather bag when suddenly an arrow came and almost hit his knee. Knowing that he could not escape, Xuanzang simply shouted at the fortress, "I am a monk from Chang 'an, don't shoot an arrow! "
The people in the castle stopped shooting arrows, opened the gate and took Xuanzang into the castle. Fortunately, Wang Xiang, the captain of a fortress, is also a Buddhist. After asking about the origin of Xuanzang, he not only didn't embarrass him, but also sent someone to help him bring water and some cakes, and personally sent him more than ten miles away to guide him to a path leading to the fourth fort.
A captain in Fort Four is Wang Xiang's brother and sister. When he heard that Xuanzang was from Wang Xiang, he received him warmly and told him that the garrison at Fort Five was cruel. He told him to bypass Fort Five, go to Mayequan to get water, and then go west, which is a big desert of 800 miles.
Xuanzang went out of the four castles, walked more than a hundred miles, lost his way, and didn't find Yemaquan. He was about to pick up the water bag with him and drink it, but he accidentally spilled all the water in a leather bag on the beach. How can we cross the desert without water? Xuanzang wanted to go back to Sibao for water and walked for more than ten miles. Suddenly he remembered that when he left, he swore that he would never take a step back until he reached his destination. How to retreat when you encounter difficulties now? Thinking of this, he turned his horse's head and continued westward.
The desert is vast, and there are no birds or animals on it. Sometimes a whirlwind rolls up the yellow sand all over the sky and falls like a rainstorm. Xuanzang walked in the desert for four nights and five days without any water. He was so thirsty that he finally collapsed in the desert. In the middle of the fifth day, a cool breeze woke Xuanzang up. He stood up, led the horse for more than ten miles and found a meadow and a pond. With aquatic plants, people and horses can get rid of the desperate situation. After walking for two days, I finally walked out of the desert, passed Yiwu (now Hami, Xinjiang) and arrived in Gaochang (now Turpan East, Xinjiang).
Gao Chang Wang Wentai is also a Buddhist. He heard that Xuanzang was a monk in the Tang Dynasty and respected him very much. Ask him to give lectures and earnestly ask him to stay in Gaochang. Xuanzang insisted on refusing. Wen Qu couldn't keep him, so he prepared luggage for Xuanzang and sent 25 people and 30 horses to escort him. He also wrote to the kings of twenty-four countries along the way, asking them to protect Xuanzang's transit.
Xuanzang led his troops, crossed the snow-capped mountains and glaciers, rushed through storms and avalanches, went through hardships, and arrived at Broken Leaf City (near tokmak in the northern part of Kyrgyzstan in present-day Soviet Union), where he was received by Khan, a western Turk. After that, all the way smoothly, through the western countries into Tianzhu.
Tianzhu is the birthplace of Buddhism, with many Buddhist monuments. Xuanzang traveled to Tianzhu, worshiped the holy land and learned from the monks. Once, when he crossed the Ganges by boat, he met a group of robbers. They are superstitious about demon gods and kill someone to sacrifice to them every autumn. The robbers on the ship took a fancy to Xuanzang and wanted to kill him to sacrifice to the gods. It was useless for Xuanzang to explain to them again and again, so he had to close his eyes and recite the scriptures. Coincidentally, there happened to be a gust of wind, and the muddy waves in the river surged and almost overturned the boat. The robber was afraid, knelt down to confess and let Xuanzang go.
The story soon spread, and the local people thought that Xuanzang really had any Buddhist protection.
Tianzhu Mujie Tuozhou has an old temple called Nalanduo Temple. There is a master Jie Xian in the temple, who is a great scholar in Tianzhu. Xuanzang came to Nalanduo Temple and studied with Master Jiexian for five years, where he learned all the classics.
King Jerzy of Magadha is a Buddhist king. Hearing of Xuanzang's fame, he held a grand lecture for Xuanzang in his capital, Qunv Town (now Okana Festival in Uttar Pradesh, India). Kings from Tianzhu 18 countries and more than 3000 monks attended the meeting. The king of the Anti-Japanese War invited Xuanzang to give a speech at the meeting for everyone to debate. The conference lasted for eighteen days, and everyone admired Xuanzang's wonderful speech. No one put forward different opinions. Finally, King Jerri sent someone to lift Xuanzang's cassock (jiā) and cassock (shā) and declared the lecture successful.
When King Jieè met Xuanzang, he said that he had long heard that there was a king of Qin in China. Xuanzang told him that the king of Qin was now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Xuanzang's travels not only achieved great success in Buddhism, but also promoted cultural exchanges between the East and the West. In 645, he returned to Chang 'an with more than 600 Buddhist scriptures after more than ten years' absence.
Monk Xuanzang's indomitable story of learning from the scriptures caused a sensation among Chang 'an people. Emperor Taizong, who was in Luoyang, appreciated Xuanzang's feat very much and met Xuanzang at Luoyang Palace. Xuanzang gave a detailed report to Emperor Taizong on his experience of going to the Western Regions.
After that, Xuanzang settled down and devoted himself to translating the Buddhist scriptures brought back from Tianzhu. Together with his disciples, he also wrote a book "The Western Regions of Datang". In this book, he recorded the geography, customs and habits of the 1 10 countries he had visited personally and the 28 countries he had heard, which became an important historical geography book.
Because Xuanzang's Buddhist scripture itself is a legend, many myths about Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures were later circulated among the people, saying that he met many demons and ghosts on his way to learn the scriptures, which was of course fictional. Wu Cheng'en, a novelist of the Ming Dynasty, wrote an excellent long mythical novel The Journey to the West based on folklore, which occupies a very important position in the history of China literature. But the story there is far from the true story of Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures.
Historical stories of Tang Dynasty 4
After Emperor Taizong destroyed the East Turkistan, he sent Li Jing to defeat Tuguhun (one of the ancient nationalities in China, in present-day Qinghai Province) in the southwest, and opened up the passage to the western regions. Countries in the Western Regions had contact with the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo (the regime established by ancient Tibetans on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, Sanskrit B not) in the far southwest also sent envoys.
At that time, Tubo Zanpu (the title of Tubo King) was named Songzan Gambu, and he was a talented person who could write and play. At the age of thirteen, he was proficient in horseback riding, archery, fencing and other martial arts, and he loved folk songs and was good at writing poems, which was deeply loved by Tibetans. After the death of his father, the Tubo nobles rebelled, and Songzan Gambu quickly put down the rebellion with his courage and wisdom.
Young Songzan Gambu did not satisfy the aristocratic life of Tubo. In order to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, he sent an envoy to Chang 'an, demanding to establish friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Taizong also heard about the fame of Tubo and was willing to make friends with them. He also sent envoys to return to Tubo.
Two years later, Songzan Gambu sent messengers to Chang 'an to meet relatives and friends of the Tang Dynasty, but Emperor Taizong did not agree. The Tubo emissary was afraid that Songzan would blame him for not being able to do things. Back in Tubo, he lied to Songzan and said, "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is going to agree to marry the princess to us, because King Tuyuhun has also gone to ask for relatives, so we put the marriage aside."
Tubo and Tuyuhun were already at odds, and Songzan Gambu hated Tuyuhun even more after listening to the messenger's return. He immediately mobilized 200,000 soldiers to attack Tuyuhun. King Tuguhun saw that the Tubo army's offensive was fierce and could not resist, so he retreated to the surrounding areas of the sea.
Songzan Gambu defeated Tuguhun, pursued the victory, and hit Songzhou (now Songpan, Sichuan) in the Tang Dynasty, and won another victory. Songzan Gambu became proud and sent people to threaten the Tang Dynasty. If you don't marry the princess to me, I will take my troops to Chang 'an. "
Emperor Taizong was very angry and sent general Hou to fight back against Tubo. Tubo soldiers are unwilling to provoke a war against Songtsan Gampo with the Tang Dynasty. When they saw that the Tang Dynasty sent troops, they all demanded to withdraw. Songzan Gambu saw that he was going to be reckless and failed, so he made peace with the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Taizong was willing to be friendly with Tubo, so he agreed to make peace.
In 640 AD, Songzan Gambu sent another effective messenger, Lu Dongzan, with a team of 100 people, and prepared gifts of 5200 gold and many treasures to visit relatives and friends in Chang 'an.
Emperor Taizong received Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan conveyed their young king's wish to get along well with the Tang Dynasty. He said it beautifully. Satisfied, Taizong chose a beautiful and gentle daughter from the royal family, named Princess Wencheng, and betrothed her to Songzan Gambu.
It is said that the messenger Lu Dongzan is an extremely clever man. Later, among the people on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there was a touching story of "five difficult suitors":
When Lu Dongzan was looking for relatives in Chang 'an, there were many envoys from various countries. Emperor Taizong ordered that the messengers who came to ask for relatives should solve five difficult problems first. Angels from any country can answer, so he promised to kiss that country.
The first topic is to let a very thin silk thread pass through a pearl with a tortuous channel. Lu Dongzan tied a silk thread around the waist of an ant. The ant took the silk thread and climbed through the zigzag channel of the pearl, and the silk thread was brought over.
The second topic is to put one hundred mares and one hundred foals together, and to identify which mare gave birth to which foal. Lu Dongzan kept the mare and the foal separately for one day, and cut off the foal's feed and water. The next day, put them together again. The hungry foals ran to their mother to nurse. Their mother-child relationship is recognized.
Lu Dongzan passed all the exams, and the last one was to find out who Princess Wencheng was from 2500 beautiful young women. With a keen eye, Lu Dongzan recognized the generous princess at a glance.
These legends are unlikely to be true, but they reflect the Tibetan people's desire for friendship with the Tang Dynasty and their praise for the messengers who accomplished this mission.
In 64 1 year, Princess Wencheng, aged 24, set out for Tubo under the escort of King Li Daozong of Jiangxia. The Tang court prepared a very rich dowry for the princess. Gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins are of course indispensable. In addition, there are many grains, fruits and vegetables, medicinal materials, silkworm eggs and other seeds that Tubo does not have. She also brought a large number of books on medicine, tree planting, engineering technology, astronomical calendar and so on.
The news of Princess Wencheng's marriage spread to Tubo. From the border of Tang Dynasty to Tubo, people prepared horses, yaks, boats and food to see Princess Wencheng off. Songzanganbu personally arrived in Bohai Sea (now Eling Lake or Zhaling Lake in Qinghai) from Losom (now Lhasa, Tibet) to meet him. Songzan Gambo and Princess Wencheng held a grand wedding there.
After the wedding, Songzan Gambo and Princess Wencheng crossed the snowy mountain plateau and went to some cities in Luo. On the day when the princess entered the city, some people sang and danced like a grand festival and lined the streets to welcome her. Songtsan Gambu also built a castle and palace for the princess to live in according to the architectural format of the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Wencheng has lived in Tubo for 40 years, and has contributed to the friendly relations between the Chinese and Tibetan peoples and the economic and cultural development of Tibet. Up to now, there are still statues of Princess Songzan Gampo and Princess Wencheng in Jokhang Temple and Potala Palace in Tibet. In 650 AD, Songzan Gambu died. Emperor Taizong died of illness the year before last, and was succeeded by Prince Li Zhi. This is Tang Gaozong.
Historical stories of the Tang Dynasty 5
At the age of sixty-one, Tang Xuanzong fell in love with the young Yang Guifei. It is said that Yang Guifei is a rare beauty, who is smart and knows music. Tang Xuanzong named her two brothers and three sisters as wives. Yang Guifei has a distant cousin named Yang Zhao (zhāo, later renamed Yang), who is too poor to live in Shu. He heard that his cousin sealed the imperial concubine, so he took some gifts to Chang 'an to find Yang Guifei. Yang Guifei said a few good words in front of Xuanzong, and Yang became a guard and joined the army.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty handed over the political power to Li. After having Yang Guifei, he often stayed in the palace to have fun and didn't even bother to come out for daily morning exercises. When Yang Guifei wants something, he always tries his best to do it for her. Yang Guifei likes to eat fresh litchi. Litchi is a fruit produced in the south, and Chang 'an is in the northwest. Where did you buy litchi? In order to please Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty specially ordered Lingnan officials to send people to ride fast horses and fight to the death to transport litchi to Chang 'an station by station like a baton. Litchi in Yang Guifei's hands is still red, fragrant and still tastes the same.
Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei drink and have fun every day, and some people play music and sing, but they are tired of listening to some old lyrics in the palace. He wants someone to supplement some new lyrics for him.
When he became an official, he said in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty that there was a new great poet in Chang 'an named Li Bai, who was a genius. No matter whether he writes poems or articles, he is excellent. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had long heard of Li Bai's reputation, so he told him to inform Li Bai to enter the palace.
Li Bai is one of the most famous great poets in the Tang Dynasty. Born in broken leaves, the previous generation was born in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Qin Andong, Gansu). He has read widely since he was a child, and his personality is bold and unrestrained. Besides reading, he also practiced a good sword. Li Bai began to travel around in order to increase his knowledge from his twenties. He has not only been to Chang 'an, Luoyang, Jinling and Jiangdu, but also visited many famous scenic spots such as Dongting, Lushan and Huiji. Because of his extensive knowledge and extraordinary intelligence, he has made outstanding achievements in poetry creation.
Li Bai is a man with political ambitions. He was arrogant by nature and was very dissatisfied with the decadent atmosphere of officialdom at that time. He hopes to be appointed by the court and give him a chance to display his political talents. When I came to Chang 'an this time, I was very happy to hear that Tang Xuanzong was summoned.
Tang Xuanzong met Li Bai in the palace and talked with him for a while. He felt that he was really talented and said happily, "You are an ordinary person, but even I know your name. How can you be so famous without real talent and learning? "
After the interview, Emperor Xuanzong left Li Bai in imperial academy and asked him to draft letters for him.
Li Bai loves to drink, and he was still drunk at first, until he was drunk with mǐng tincture (dǐng). After entering the academician courtyard, he could not change this habit. When he was free, he still found some poetry friends to drink at Chang 'an Hotel.
Once, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked the musician to write a new tune, and before filling in the lyrics, he ordered the eunuch to find Li Bai. Eunuchs couldn't find Li Bai in imperial academy and Li Bai's house. Someone told the eunuch that Li Bai had gone to the streets to drink.
The eunuchs searched and searched on Chang 'an Avenue and finally found Li Bai in the hotel. It turned out that Li Bai was drunk and lay there asleep. The eunuch woke him up and told him that the emperor had summoned him. Li Bai rubbed his eyes and stood up to ask what was going on. The eunuchs didn't have time to tell him in detail. Too many cooks pulled Li Bai into the sedan chair and carried him to the palace.
Li Bai entered the inner palace and looked up. It was Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to pay tribute, but his body refused to listen. When eunuchs saw that he was very drunk, someone took a basin of cold water and sprinkled it on Li Bai's face, and Li Bai gradually woke up.
Tang Xuanzong liked his talent and didn't blame him. He just told him to write the lyrics at once.
The eunuchs were busy putting pens, inkstones and silks on the boxes in front of him. Sitting on the floor, Li Bai suddenly felt uncomfortable with his boots. Seeing an old eunuch beside him, he stretched out his legs and said to the eunuch, "Please help me take off my boots!" "
This old eunuch turned out to be Gao Lishi, the eunuch chief favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He usually used the emperor's power to dominate officials, but now a small Hanlin official ordered him to take off his boots, which made him lose his head. However, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was waiting for Li Bai to write lyrics. If he offended Li Bai and disappointed Tang Xuanzong, he could not afford it. He held his breath and pretended not to care. He smiled and said, "Gee, I'm really drunk. There is nothing I can do about him. " As he spoke, he took off his boots for Li Bai, who was kneeling.
Li Bai took off his boots without even looking at Gao Lishi. He picked up a pen and began to write. Not long after, he wrote three lyrics named "Qingpingdiao" and gave them to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong recited it several times and found that the words were beautiful and the rhythm was sonorous. This is really a good poem, so he immediately asked the musicians to sing it.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty admired Li Bai, but Gao Lishi, who took off his boots for Li Bai, held a grudge. On one occasion, Gao Lishi accompanied Yang Guifei to enjoy the scenery in the Imperial Garden. Yang Guifei sang Li Bai's poems happily.
Gao Lishi pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, don't you know that Li Bai insulted the imperial concubine in these poems?"
Yang Guifei asked strangely what was going on. Gao Lishi embellished that one of the poems written by Li Bai compared Yang Guifei to Zhao, the dissolute queen of the Han Dynasty, which was intended to satirize her.
Yang Guifei was really angry at Gao Lishi's words. Later, she repeatedly told Tang Xuanzong how bad Li Bai was, and Tang Xuanzong gradually disliked Li Bai.
Li Bai finally saw that there were some snobs like Li and Gao Lishi around Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He stayed with Tang Xuanzong, but he couldn't make a difference in politics. In the spring of the following year, I wrote a letter asking to resign and return to China. Tang Xuanzong approved his request and gave Li Bai a sum of money to send him home to show his love for talents.
After Li Bai left Chang 'an, he lived a free life as a poet, sometimes studying in seclusion and sometimes traveling around. In these days, he wrote many poems praising the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland.
On one occasion, he set out from Baidicheng, sailed across the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and arrived in Jiangling. Along the way, he improvised a poem:
Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
Many of Li Bai's poems show his bold spirit, rich imagination and passionate feelings, and become immortal masterpieces in the history of China literature.
Just as Li Bai enthusiastically eulogized the mountains and rivers of the motherland, the Central Plains was devastated by corruption in the Tang Dynasty.
