Chen was born in debauchery. After he ascended the throne, he ignored political affairs and had fun in the harem day and night. He built a lot of buildings, ransacked the people's fat and paste, and built pavilions, and the people complained bitterly. It was Chen's absurdity that led to his downfall.
Zhang Lihua, a favorite singer, abandoned the Buddha and knelt down repeatedly.
There are thousands of beauties in Chen's harem, and the most favored one is the imperial concubine Zhang Lihua. Zhang Lihua was born in poverty. At the age of ten, he was sent to the palace by his father and brother to serve as a geisha. When Gong was a pet, Chen often went in and out of her bedroom. After a while, she met Zhang Lihua. According to historical records, Zhang Lihua was outstanding in beauty and her hair was seven feet long. Her light is discernible, her skin is as white as snow, and her eyebrows are higher than the distant mountains. Chen fell in love with her at first sight and named her the imperial concubine.
Zhang Lihua is in the sixth house, and he is inseparable from Chen all day. In order to keep my beloved concubine around, Chen took her with him when he was in court, and let her sit on her lap and listen to the performance of the officials together, which gave Zhang Lihua the opportunity to interfere in state affairs. Zhang Lihua has a photographic memory, and he can remember all the bankbooks he has browsed clearly. In addition, she is also good at reading words and senses, and can always skillfully grasp Chen's speaking preferences, which is quite sacred.
The families of officials in the DPRK saw that the son of heaven was obedient to Zhang Lihua, and they came to please him in succession. Whether promoting to a higher position or begging for pardon, nothing is impossible as long as Zhang Lihua is willing to speak.
As the saying goes, "there is gold under one's knee", but Chen knelt down twice to please the beautiful woman. Once, Chen Hua spent a lot of money to build a pair of gold hairpin, knelt down and gave it to Zhang Lihua, so that she could hide her face and smile. Later, Chen became addicted to Buddhism and planned to build the Dahuang Temple. Zhang Lihua, who hated monks since childhood, strongly opposed it. Chen was so eager to make contributions that he knelt down twice for Zhang Lihua's answer, which was really ridiculous.
The enemy did not forget his eyes and robbed his wife and died.
Xiao is a famous warrior of Nan Chen, who is brave and good at fighting. He led troops to war and won many battles, and was known as "the first warrior in the Northern and Southern Dynasties". In 589, Emperor Wen of Han personally led troops to attack Chen Nan all the way south. Little monk stepped forward and led his troops to fight a deadly battle to stop Sui Jun from crossing the Yangtze River. Chen gave Xiao a lot of gold, silver and jewels for his meritorious service to the enemy. Because he was not fighting at home, he asked his wife to go to the palace to receive the reward.
Although little monk is nearly sixty years old, he still married a beautiful and charming wife. As soon as Chen saw her, she became lustful and left her in the palace to commit adultery. Xiao's servant was anxious when he saw that his wife had not returned to the palace for many days. After asking for information in many ways, he realized that he was fooling around with the emperor and immediately reported it to Xiao.
When Xiao heard the news in the army and learned that his wife was occupied by the emperor, he fainted with anger. When the two armies fought again, Chen Nan's leaderless army was beaten out of the water, and the Sui army became more and more brave and sweeping. As easy as blowing off dust, Chen Nan was destroyed.
The queen who fell out of favor survived the world, converted to Buddhism and became a bodhisattva.
Zhang Lihua and his youngest wife came from behind, but Chen's original wife was another person. As early as when Chen was the Crown Prince, she was ordered by her parents to marry her cousin Shen Wuhua. It was an arranged marriage.
Shen Wuhua is plain-looking, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, quiet and quiet, and doesn't like Chen very much; Plus, after Zhang Lihua and other beauties took advantage of it, the relationship between her and Chen became more and more cold, and they didn't even meet once in half a year, so the relationship between husband and wife existed in name only.
Some husbands don't care, and some concubines are arrogant, but Shen Wuhua sticks to the right path from beginning to end and refuses to grovel and flatter. She risked her life many times to persuade Chen to pay attention to people's livelihood and not indulge in debauchery, but some heartfelt words provoked Chen to be dismissed.
Until the door was broken in, Chen and his favorite concubine escaped, and she was still meditating peacefully in her bedroom, which made Wendi candidly admit defeat. In his early years, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty heard that Shen Wuhua was virtuous and dignified. He not only saved her life, but also ordered people to treat her well. He took her on a trip without saying hello.
After the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, Shen Wuhua returned to his hometown temple and became a nun, whose legal name was Guanyin. In the fourth year of Wude, in order to resist Tang Jun's attack, the monarch of Wu captured more than 1,000 innocent people and exiled them.
When people heard that the Sui Dynasty lived in Tianjing Temple one after another, they turned to Shen Wuhua for help. But at that time, Shen Wuhua had become a monk and had no power in his hand. She had a plan in mind, pretending to be a bodhisattva to defraud Wu Jun of his salary, and gave it to the people as an escape fare. The people who were saved by her later spread all over the country, and her appearance was made into a statue at home to show her gratitude. This is the predecessor of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Many historians in later generations blamed Zhang Lihua for his downfall, but made no mention of Chen's incompetence. Of course, Zhang Lihua is a femme fatale, but even without her appearance, Chen will still be addicted to Li Lihua and peace, and her decline is an inevitable result.
