Among these small countries that perished in the Northern Song Dynasty, besides the famous Li Yu, the last emperor is also worth mentioning, that is, Meng Changjun, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He used to be a wise monarch, old and young, but in the end he became an absolute monarch who died without regret. Although he can't write Li Yu's poems, his comprehensive cultural quality is far higher than Li Yu's and he has made great contributions to China's cultural undertakings.
This is a young English master.
In the Five Dynasties, it's time for us to give up Meng Zhixiang. After the death of Ming Taizu in the late Tang Dynasty, Meng Zhixiang illegally built Houshu. Meng Zhixiang died a few months after he succeeded to the throne, and his son Meng Changjun succeeded to the throne.
Meng Chang is qualified, young, mature and resolute. In his later years, Meng Zhixiang was very generous to his old friends. His ministers indulged in violence and hurt the village. When Meng Changjun ascended the throne, they cheated him when they were young and turned a blind eye to him. What's more, he often plunders people's fertile land, destroys people's graves, and oppresses good people without scruple. Among them, Li and Zhang Ye have the worst reputation. Meng Changjun acceded to the throne a few months ago, that is, he sent someone to interrogate Li Jinxing with lightning speed, and his family ruled his family, which was once very touching.
Zhang is his nephew and the captain of the guard. Meng Changjun is afraid of causing civil strife. After killing Li, he was unmoved, but he was promoted to prime minister, thus paralyzing him. Zhang Ye had the authority, but he didn't read the lesson of the old uncle's murder. He is even more bossy and willful. He opened a prison in his own home, fractured bones, stripped bone marrow, blackmailed local people and caused public outrage. Seeing that the temperature was approaching, Meng Changjun colluded with Kuang Sheng, created an 'an, and killed all the small and powerful people in one fell swoop. Li Zhao, a general in the buffer zone, was born in a senior official of the previous dynasty. He went to see him on crutches and said that he was ill and could not go to church. I heard that Li and others were killed. I threw away my crutches, bid farewell to Meng Chang, and knelt on the ground, afraid to come out.
Meng Chang packed his bags, and after interacting with a group of veteran officials left by his father Meng Zhixiang, he led the country and selected new people as officials at all levels. Taking Wu Zetian as an example, a Tang Zhi was set up to encourage officials and people to tell the recommended talents who collect waste products in secret. He issued a decree to persuade farmers and mulberry trees, requiring local secretaries and county orders to take it as the main government affairs, and once dismissed military commanders and replaced them with civilian officials to improve local bureaucracy.
However, after all, Houshu is a small country, and Meng's ambition of early adopters was quickly shattered by reality. After the state of Jin was destroyed by the Khitan, Meng Changjun wanted to get his hands on the Central Plains, while Liu Zhiyuan was unstable in the later Han Dynasty. However, his position was inhuman and he failed miserably. During the reign of Chai Rong, due to Meng Changjun's arrogance, Zhou Jun attacked Shu and the Shu soldiers were defeated. Qin, Cheng, Jie and Feng divided the world. In desperation, Meng Changjun joined forces with small neighboring countries such as the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty to fight against the Zhou Dynasty.
In the later period of Meng Changjun, the late Jin Dynasty, the late Han Dynasty and the weekend alternated, and each family competed for the Central Plains, leaving no time for Sichuan. Meng Changjun's external pressure has been reduced, and the dangerous side happens to be "being emperor behind closed doors". When he was young, the bad habits of "playing ball, walking" and "doing art in a good room" were suddenly released, and he gradually became extravagant and indulgent. Even urinals are decorated with pearls and jewels. Wang Zhaoyuan is a playboy who is good at bragging and flattery. Meng Chang likes him very much, so he can be reused. All governments
I suspected that there were no stunning beauties in the harem, so I recruited beautiful women from Shu to be the harem. There is a woman named Fei in Qingcheng, who is graceful and good at fine-tuning. After the main election entered the palace, he liked it very much, because my concubine Xiao's name was Huarui, and hers was Huarui.
While Mrs. Hua Rui was waiting for the banquet, the red-toothed sandalwood knocked and the sound continued for three days. She is also good at cooking. She cooked it in Redmi, rolled it tightly, pressed the stone, poured wine on it, and tasted like a bone. Then slice it, it's delicious, so it's called "flying sheep's head", also called "bad wine bone", sliced potato medicine, mixed with lotus root powder and mixed with five flavors. Crispy, white as silver, shaped like a moon. It is called "the plate of the moon" in the palace. There are countless other special new foods. After that, the Imperial Food Department was ordered to publish a menu of 100 volumes. Every value of the royal banquet is repeated, and there is no strong flavor every day, which makes Meng Chang's love for Huarui family better and better every day. "If you want to control a person's heart, you must first control a person's stomach." Maybe Mrs. Warwick said it first.
Mrs. Hua Rui likes peony and red gardenia best. So the Queen opened Xuanhua Garden, collected peony flowers everywhere and planted them in the Inner Palace Garden at all costs. After Lord Hua and Mrs Hua, they sang and played the piano under the flowers every day. He was ordered to plant hibiscus flowers in the streets of the capital. In autumn, hibiscus blooms. It stretches for 40 miles along the city. At first glance, it looks like a red cloud. All the women in the city come to play. They are all wearing jewels. Then the front line lined up, drumming and paddling, and the teams marched one after another.
The aftergod was most afraid of heat. Every time he encountered hot weather, he was out of breath and even couldn't sleep at night, so he built a crystal palace on the Maha pool as a summer resort. He also dug a nine-bend Longtan, winding for miles, leading to the Maha Pool. The most wonderful thing is that there are four nozzles installed in the pool. As soon as the machine was turned on, water from all directions sprayed into the air, reaching several feet, gathered at the top of the temple, dripping from all directions and falling into the pool. In order to avoid the hot summer, Meng Chang and Mrs. Hua Rui moved into the Crystal Palace as soon as possible. He passed on a poem by Dong Xiange in Su Dongpo's Dong Xiange in the Northern Song Dynasty: "jade bone's ice muscles are cold but not sweaty." The water temple is full of incense. Embroidered curtains opened, and a bright moon peeped at people; People don't sleep, pillows are messy. Hands up, the whole family is silent. When you see Shu Xing crossing the river, you will see Han. How about the evening? The golden wave is weak in the middle of the night, and the jade rope is lower. However, when the only one comes with the west wind, they are afraid of stealing time! "Summer, cool and not sweating, which man doesn't want to hug such a beautiful woman?
Died on the first day.
In November of the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin and Song Taizu appointed Wang Quanbin, a loyal military commander, as their teacher, and led the troops to ride a six-route army horse, which was divided into six routes. At the same time, he ordered to build a mansion for Meng Changjun, the king of Shu, for his relocation, which shows his determination to cut Shu.
At this time, Meng Chang was still immersed in the gentle township, thinking that Wang Zhaoyuan, the "Zhuge Liang", could rest easy. When Meng Changjun heard that Song Bing was coming to attack, he sent his minister Li Hao to meet them. Wang Zhaoyuan looks like a decent Confucian scholar with an iron bar in his hand. Half drunk, Wang Zhaoyuan said to Li Kui jy, "I went through the customs not only to defend the enemy, but also to lead these 20,000 or 30,000 tigers and wolves forward and seize the Central Plains. This is a piece of cake! "
After Zhuge Liang left, Meng Changjun sent Prince Meng Xuanzhe to lead tens of thousands of military forces to guard the sword gate. When the army set out, the prince took several luxurious embroidered chariots that Ai Ji followed him, as well as a large number of musicians and musical instruments. The accompanying army is also excellent, much like a large army.
Meng Chang didn't realize that disaster was coming. He has been a prince of peace for nearly 30 years. He always thought that God bless him, and it was difficult to get through the Shu Road. He thinks this will make Songshi fail. But Song Jun moved on, and Wang Quanbin and others even occupied Sin Chew and other places, all the way unimpeded, repaired the plank road burned by the Shu army, and went straight to the natural barrier village. Wang Zhaoyuan came to meet the enemy, suffered three defeats and ran frantically to Lizhou. After Song Jun chased him, he continued to run, gave up the sword gate and refused to obey the obstacle. Marching from Xiao Su Road in Song Jun, he suddenly appeared behind the Shu army. The two sides suddenly went to war, and Wang Zhaoyuan was too scared to get up in Hu's bed. After the fall of Jianmen, Wang Zhaoyuan fled again. Soon, he was captured by Song Jun in Dongchuan. Zhuge Liang became a pig, a dog and a wolf.
Meng Wang of Shu smiled and played with mountains and rivers all the way. Suddenly, the news of Jianmen's defeat scared him and some of his men to abandon the army and flee to Chengdu. At this point, Meng Chang woke up like a dream and knew that Song Jun had entered the city. Between fear and fear, he asked about the strategy of retreating the enemy. For a long time, only one veteran came up with an idea: "Song Jun is far away and won't last long." Please gather your soldiers and stick to the enemy. Meng Changjun thought for a long time and sighed, "My father and son have been studying for forty years, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Once they meet the enemy, they have nothing to do with me. Now if you want to stay in an isolated city, who will work hard? "
Shu, a "respected" man in the State Council, suggested "close the library and please surrender". In desperation, Meng Changjun had to obey and ordered Ho Lee to draft the surrender. When he died, it was this Li's behavior that led to the loss of this book. So, someone wrote a few big characters on the door overnight: "The world is settled, and the Li family is dead."
When Wang Quanbin's army arrived at the Sage Bridge in Chengdu, Meng Changjun prepared a national subjugation ceremony, knelt down in front of the army and sent him a funeral table. It took only 66 days for Song Jun to send troops to Bianjing before Meng Chang surrendered. Shu was destroyed. In July of the fourth year of Stegosaurus, Meng Changjun's family moved to Bianjing, and Mingde Yu was ready to accept his crime. Song Taizu pleaded guilty, gave Meng Changjun a crown and clothes, and asked him to proofread the third division of Kaifu Instrument. He is also a scholar in China and a duke of Qin. Seven days later, the King of Hou Shu suddenly died at home. It is estimated that Zhao Guangyi poisoned him.
After Meng Chang's death, Song Taizu called Mrs. Hua Rui into the palace. Mao had long heard that the stamen had a prominent family background, so he ordered her to write poems. The beautiful girl who died in the country casually recited a poem entitled "Death in the Country": "When the national flag is lowered in the city, where can I know my concubine in the deep palace? 1.4 million people were disarmed, but none of them were men. " Zhao Kuangyin likes Mrs. Hua Rui's cold skin and muscles because she has enjoyed them for a long time.
Cultural development
Except for Mrs. Hua Rui, Meng Changjun seems to be just an ordinary monarch who has perished, with no features. In fact, he has made great contributions to cultural undertakings.
He loves literature and art and has been in politics for three years. He ordered Wei to collect 500 Poems and Ten Volumes in Chongzuo, which is called Huajian Collection. In April this year, Ouyang Jiong, a bachelor of Hanlin, made a preface. Later generations are regarded as the originator of literati's lyrics and songs, which have a great influence on later generations. The following year, the Meng Changjun Museum of History compiled 500 volumes of Ancient and Modern Rhyme Society, which was a huge project, but it was not preserved.
In the 16th year of Zheng Guang, Meng Chang ordered ten classics, such as The Analects of Confucius, Erya, Zhouyi and Shangshu, to be engraved on stone, which took eight years to complete. I'm afraid the stone sutra won't be widely circulated, so I carved it on the board to facilitate its circulation. Later generations carved books with wooden materials, which began in Mengchang.
Meng Chang also founded the first painting academy in the history of China, and invited more than 50 famous Sichuan painters, including Huang Quan and his son, the master of flowers and birds, to paint in the painting academy. Meng Chang is also very creative in music. The "Nanguan" music popular in Taiwan Province Province today is called "Tangyin" by foreigners, but it was actually composed by Meng Chang.
make a futile effort
Meng Chang and Li Yu have too many similarities. They are all kings of national subjugation, but they are neither indulgent nor cruel. They are all cultural celebrities, but Meng Chang is comprehensive, but there are not many influential personal works handed down from generation to generation, while Li Yu's poems about national subjugation are very touching. This is related to Meng Changjun's poisoning shortly after his arrival in Kaifeng. History didn't give him time to write The Poem of National subjugation, but Li Yu lived in Kaifeng for several years and had enough time to write it.
Meng Changjun has Mrs. Hua Rui, and Li Caihua left many stories after a big week and a small week. If they are not dead, their story with women will not be a tragedy, nor will there be too many touching factors, which can only give people excessive excuses. Both of them were caused by the tragedy of national subjugation, but Li Yu was only a scholar after all, and Meng Changjun played a more prominent role in the cultural history of China. This is because he collected the first batch of approved characters, opened the first art college, carried out large-scale stone carving, and retained the "Nanguan" music.
