An introduction to "the imperial concubine grinds ink"

In the first year of Tianbao (AD 742), two celebrities with different styles met in Chang 'an Palace in Tang Dou. One is Gao Lishi (690-762), the top general with universal weight, the head of the court when Bohai County was founded, and the other is Li Bai (70 1-762), who set pen to paper to shake the Five Mountains and became a talented poet who was proud of the king.

They gathered around Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, singing, dancing, drinking and flowers beside Chenxiang Temple and Bailianchi. How many touching stories and clever tricks should arouse people's attention and reverie, and it did happen.

In 742 AD, Li Bai was drunk and invited by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to enter the palace to write poems for Yang Yuhuan. Because he was in rags, the Emperor of Tang gave Li Bai clothes. Li Bai told Gao Lishi to take off his boots because he was too drunk to change. Gao Lishi thought he was noble, but because Tang Huang was in the front, he responded. Later, he held a grudge, which led to Li Bai's demotion.

Gao Lishi, whose real name is Feng and whose original name is Feng, is a rich man in Lingnan. Feng Ye, the ancestor of Feng Ye, was the son of Hongfeng, the master of the Northern Yan State in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Forced by the Northern Wei Dynasty, he crossed the sea and settled in Lingnan. He is a noble family in central Guangdong, and his ups and downs of family history is legendary. His great-grandfather Feng Ang was the general manager of eighteen states, including the governor of Gaozhou in the early Tang Dynasty, Geng Guogong Guangshao. Grandfather Di Feng is the secretariat of Panzhou. Father Feng Junheng inherited the history of Panzhou.

But officially, he was punished for attacking his father's position. Nine-year-old Feng was sent to Wu Zetian as a eunuch by Li, the envoy of Lingnan. Raised by a young friend Gao Yanfu, he was renamed Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi, as a cautious person, has always received rave reviews. Even Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Li Yong and other famous officials are highly respected.

This point was mentioned in all volumes throughout the Tang Dynasty, and so on. Yan Guogong said that he wrote inscriptions for his adoptive father Gao Yanfu, his biological father Feng Junheng and his biological mother Mrs. Mai Tai. Li Yong also has the article "Shane ordered General Gao to be sent". Li Bai, who was highly valued by emperors and nobles, would not make trouble for no reason, even if he was arrogant.

Li Bai's uncle Li said in the preface to the collection of thatched cottage: "When you enter and leave the Hanlin, you should ask about politics. People are ignorant when reporting grass. Ugly in the same column, harm can become slander. If the motto does not advance, the emperor will use it. " I believe it is the result of colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.

Another poet, Hao Wei, said in Preface to Li Hanlin: "Go to the Imperial Brigade and call Bai. It is better to be invited to drink in white than to be half drunk. Let the system become a teacher's letter, not grass. Xu Zhongshu Sheren. By Zhang Wei. " Who's Zhang Yang? Therefore, the son of Prime Minister Ming Taizu is Wei's son-in-law and his son.

At that time, his brother and Mr. Scheeren both worked in the Imperial Academy, both of whom were bachelor's degrees, and both were in charge of Lunhan. Can be said to be Li Bai's fellow officials. His opposition is naturally a big obstacle. In addition, as described by various scholars, it is also roughly the same. In addition, Li Bai also said in the "Self-recommendation Form for Song Zhongcheng": "Calling for prohibition is not only the red leaves in Poland, but also the grass in Wang Yan. Graceful, I appreciate it. Because of my treachery, I let him go up the mountain. "

Because in the eyes of cabinet ministers who follow the rules, Li Bai's poems and dissolute habits are naturally not pleasing to the eye and out of place. So Luo Zhi Zhou Na invented a bad name and drove it away. And Zhang Yang acted as the protagonist of this ugly drama. Gao Lishi and Li Bai were in similar situations in their later years.

Both of them died in the first year of Baoying (762), only three months apart. They were all demoted and sent to the same place-Yelang (Wuzhou, Huaihua, xinhuang dong autonomous county, Hunan). Moreover, the routes almost cross, and there are poems circulating. However, Li Bai was demoted earlier. In December of the second year of Germany (757), he embarked on a long road from Xunyang.

Gao Lishi was demoted to Wuzhou (located in Longbiao, which governs Yelang, Weixi and Siwei counties) in July of the second year of last year (760). The reason was that he opposed Quanxing eunuch Li, who forced him to move westward and put him under house arrest. According to Biography of the New Tang Dynasty, before he left, Lux said, "I have been dead for a long time, and the son of heaven has always pitied me. I would like to see your majesty's color and never hate it.

Li forbid it. "So he began his miserable journey that never came back. His poem "Long Yin" was written in Wuzhou relegated mansion: "Both are sold by the catty, and the five streams are not picked. Although summer is different, the smell will not change. "Borrowing things to be clear, showing the noble ethics of vicissitudes of life. Li Zhi pointed out in the Biography of Historical Records and Huo Zhi that "Gao Lishi is really a loyal minister, which means there are no eunuchs. It is the theory of "China compromise" that abandons the traditional prejudice.

In the early days of Tianbao, Li Bai came to Chang 'an and was recommended to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty summoned him in the Golden Palace, made him an academician, and asked him to compose poems and music in the palace.

One day in the Heavenly Palace, peonies were in full bloom, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took Yang Guifei to drink and enjoy flowers in Chenxiang Temple. Tang Xuanzong suddenly remembered Li Bai and wanted him to write some lyrics to entertain him, so he sent someone to call him. At this time, Li Bai was drunk in the hotel.

People put him on horseback, sent him to the palace and washed his head with cold water. After a slight delay, Li Bai picked up a pen again and wrote three songs, Qing Ping Diao Ci, praising Yang Guifei and Peony. These poems are beautiful and fresh, and Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei are very happy.

Although Li Bai often attends court banquets, he despises dignitaries and doesn't care about the emperor and those dignitaries around him.

Once, he was drunk in the palace and put out his foot and said to Gao Lishi, the eunuch sitting next to him, "Take off your boots for me."

Gao Lishi was at a loss and had to take off his boots for Li Bai. At that time, Gao Lishi had great power, and everything that was hit by the four directions had to pass through his hand. There is not a civil and military official who does not curry favor with him. He had never been insulted like this, which made him very angry and decided to look for opportunities to get back at Li Bai.

Yang Guifei loves to recite Li Bai's "Qing Ping Le Ci", and Gao Lishi happened to be there. He deliberately said: "I thought that the imperial concubine was insulted by Li Bai and must hate it." I didn't expect you to love his poems so much! " Yang Guifei asked in surprise, "How can Li insult me?"

Gao Lishi said, "Isn't there a saying in the poem,' Ask who the Han Palace looks like and pity the swallows for their new makeup'?" Yang Guifei said, "Yes!" Gao Lishi also said: "Zhao was born as a singer in the court of the Han Dynasty. Later, although she was established as the queen, her style was incorrect and she was eventually demoted to Shu Ren. Li Bai compared Zhao with you. Isn't it too humble for you? "

Yang Guifei was very angry with Li Bai at Gao Lishi's words. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty tried to appoint Li Bai several times, but Yang Guifei stopped him.

Please read Li Jun's "Song Chuang Miscellaneous Notes": "At the beginning of Kaiyuan, heavy wood peony was banned, that is, peony today." Take four books: red, purple, light red and white. Transplanted in front of the Aquilaria Pavilion in the east of Xingqing Dong Chi. The flowers are blooming, and the photos taken at night are the best (the name of the horse). Sixteen songs were awarded to those who specially selected disciples in the pear garden. In the name of being good at singing, Li Guinian held a sandalwood board and put music before singing.

Confucius said, "Appreciate famous flowers, how to use old music as a concubine?" ? Then, he ordered the Year of the Tortoise to announce a golden flower memorial tablet to Hanlin as a sacrifice to Li Bai, and divided it into three chapters ... The Year of the Tortoise entered with lyrics. The disciples in Liyuan were ordered to touch the silk and bamboo, so they urged the Year of the Tortoise to sing. Princess Taizhen is holding a glass Qibao cup, drinking western cool peach wine and laughing at the lyrics, which is meaningful.

Because Yu Di's tune depends on this song ... Naturally, Li Hanlin is especially different from bachelors. I am deeply ashamed of Gao Lishi's last black leather (six seams of boots). In the future, Princess Taizhen will repeat what she said before. Lux said: I began to complain that Li Bai and my concubine went deep into the bone marrow. What happened to boxing? Princess Taizhen was surprised and said, can Bachelor He Hanlin bully others? Lux said: pointing a swallow at a concubine is very cheap. Princess taizhen is quite deep. I tried to kill Li, but my death was guarded by the palace. "?

There is also a paragraph of Youyang Miscellaneous Language: "Li Bai's name is spread to the sea. Xuanzong summoned in the temple. The air is high, and the porch is like an elevator in summer. In the world, I don't think I have forgotten the honor of riding a thousand horses. Accept your fate. Bai Sui spread his feet and said to Gao Lishi, Take off your boots. Lux lost power, so he jumped out. When he went out, he pointed out that Bai was a mighty man and said, "This man is solid and poor. "These two vivid stories are the original version of" Gao Lishi took off his boots for Li Bai ".

Li and Duan were both from the late Tang Dynasty, more than a hundred years later than Li Bai. These materials were later quoted in large numbers, written into the official history, put on the stage, and passed down from mouth to mouth. Gao Lishi's image as a jester is thus shaped. But is it true? First of all, the time background mentioned in Song Chuang's miscellany-Kaiyuan Middle School-is completely wrong.

Twenty-nine years of Kaiyuan. It is more or less "medium", and it takes about 14, 5 years to convert. As we all know, the imperial concubine was conferred in the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan. How can Kaiyuan have a poem praising the imperial concubine? In addition, Li Bai also said in Song Zhongcheng's Self-recommendation Form: "At the beginning of Tianbao, five houses were handed over (recommended) and became famous all over the world. When the emperor heard about it, he welcomed it and called it into the palace. " At the beginning of Tianbao, when it entered Beijing, it was written clearly and irrefutable, which was enough to deny the right and wrong of Kaiyuan Zhong.

In addition, some people who have close contacts with Li Bai and wrote a preface to his poems, such as Li and Liu, who built his tomb, all agree that he entered Beijing in the early days of Tianbao. What is more noteworthy is that Li Bai said in "Photography Zhao Xuancheng and Yang": "For the" xianggong ",open the emblem and shine the world. Enter the room of the real dragon and hold the right of nature. Anshi high pillow, a lifetime back. "

This article was written by Zhao Yue, the commander of Xuancheng, in the 14th year of Tianbao. The Yang mentioned here is none other than Yang Guifei's cousin Yang. It is not correct to compare Yang with An Shi (the sage of Shun). However, on the other hand, it also proves that Li Bai doesn't really hate Yang brothers and sisters. Suppose there is really a matter of the imperial concubine banishing Li Bai, can you write it like this?

Li Junzhi's statement is not credible, which is clear enough. As for Youyang Miscellaneous Language, it is even more bizarre. Imagine, noble, romantic and broad-minded Li Longji, shocked and overwhelmed by the elegant demeanor of Li Bai, whom he called a poet in white, can say such treacherous words? (Li Bai's name is broadcast in the sea. Xuanzong summoned in the temple. The air is high, and the porch is like an elevator in summer. In the world, I don't think I have forgotten the honor of riding a thousand horses.

Accept your fate. Bai Sui spread his feet and said to Gao Lishi, Take off your boots. Lux lost power, so he jumped out. When he came out, he referred to Bai as Lux and said, "This man is solid and poor." Since you are dissatisfied with Li Bai's impudence, why do you want to promote him? As you can see, this is unreasonable. It's really just a novelist's speech made up by literati. The predecessors have long questioned this.

Zhong Taihua, an Amin, pointed out in Four History of Wen Yuan that "fear comes from the novels of officials". Wang Qi, a native of the Qing Dynasty, also said in the postscript of the Collected Works of Li Taibai: "Later generations did things deeply and quickly (referring to Gao Lishi taking off his boots) and praised them with flattering words. However, it is too white to meet the commentator's expectations. " It shows a calm and rational thinking.
