At this time, Emperor Wu and his New Deal partners were very busy, but there was no movement in the Changle Palace where the Empress Dowager Dou lived. The Empress Dowager had no plans to "retire", and she quietly watched all this happen. At this time, Zhao Wan, the imperial censor, wrote a letter asking "Nothing to do in the East Palace", which also angered Empress Dowager Dou. She began to secretly search for evidence of Zhao Wan and Wang Zang's crimes.
If Emperor Wu is a conspiracy, and the Empress Dowager is a conspiracy, when the absolute strength is not enough to suppress the opponent, how can Yangmou be the opponent of the conspiracy?
Zhao Wan and Wang Zang committed suicide in prison. The eighteen-year-old Emperor Wu was so close to death for the first time, and the deceased was his teacher and a supporter of his New Deal. He thought of Duke Shen. When he asked Shen Gong for advice, the old man just said, "Talk less and do more."
Emperor Wu was a little disheartened. The Empress Dowager had mentally defeated him. He was an invincible opponent, at least for now. So, let her do whatever she wants. So Dou Ying was dismissed as prime minister and Tian Fu was dismissed. Shen Gong could only return to Lu to retire.
The long-awaited "Jianyuan New Deal" came to a bleak end. There is a quiet embarrassment here, and everyone pretends that nothing happened.
Day and night, Emperor Wu thought about this setback, and he was not willing to give up. It's just that the political situation is not going well, and the backyard is also on fire. Gillian loses her temper all day long, but the reasons are all trivial matters.
Both the emperor and the empress were looking forward to each other's comfort and attention, but they did not care about each other, especially Liu Che. He had had enough of Gillian's arrogance, so he came to her less and less often, and spent most of his time in Spend the night with other concubines, or find a palace maid you like to sleep with. This aroused Gillian's jealousy, and she could only vent her anger on the decorations every day.
But the more this happened, the more annoyed Emperor Wu became and the more disappointed he became with Gillian. The most important thing is that after several years, Gillian still has no intention of getting pregnant. Emperor Wu was anxious, and Princess Liu was even more anxious. She knew that the queen had no children and her status was unstable, so the eldest princess searched all over the country for prescriptions to cure "infertility". But even so, Gillian's belly didn't improve at all.
At this time, the Queen Mother could not stand it anymore. She summoned Emperor Wu and asked him to treat Gillian well. Emperor Wu was busy with political affairs, so he couldn't listen to these things and just nodded perfunctorily. The Queen Mother grabbed his ear and said to him: "I have offended the Queen Mother, and now I am lukewarm towards Gillian. Do you want to push the eldest princess and her daughter to the Queen Mother? You You have only been on the throne for a few days, and you have forgotten how you came to the throne? Without the eldest princess, are you still the emperor now?"
The words awakened the dreamer, so Emperor Wu went to sit with the queen from time to time, and finally eased the tense relationship between himself and the eldest princess.
The Wei family siblings
Princess Yangxin married Cao Shen's great-grandson Pingyang Hou Cao Shou, so she was also called Princess Pingyang.
As soon as Emperor Wu entered the door, Princess Pingyang saw his depressed expression and asked him to take a seat. She also found all the beauties in the house, dressed them up carefully, and presented them to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu glanced over it, but no one was satisfied. So Princess Pingyang invited people to sing and dance.
A singer with shallow dimples stood out from the many singers and made Emperor Wu's eyes shine. Princess Pingyang took advantage of the situation and asked the singer to serve her here. This singer is Wei Zifu.
That night Emperor Wu returned to the palace and took Zifu back with him. But the next day Emperor Wu completely forgot about Zifu.
A year later, Emperor Wu decided to release a group of palace ladies home, including Wei Zifu. Seeing Yi Ren again, Emperor Wu suddenly remembered that night in the carriage and was speechless for a moment. Zifu burst into tears and begged to let her go home. How could Emperor Wu be willing to let her go, so he kept her here.
Perhaps because of the excitement brought about by the reunion after a long absence, soon the news of Wei Zifu's pregnancy spread. Emperor Wu was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear, so he named Zifu his wife, the highest-ranking concubine below the queen.
Gillian became even more angry after hearing this. In order to attack Wei Zifu, Gillian targeted Wei Zifu's younger brother, Wei Qing.
Wei Qing was from Pingyang County, with the courtesy name Zhongqing. He and his husband's mother, Wei Wei, were concubines of Pingyang Marquis (Pingyang Marquis should be Cao Shou's father). His father, Zheng Jiben, was an official in the county and later worked in Pingyang Marquis's house. So he had an affair with Wei Wei and gave birth to Wei Qing. Wei Qing was born as a domestic slave and became a slave from birth. Wei Wei had no time to take care of him, so she sent him back to Zheng Ji. Zheng Ji had a wife at home, and she bore him several sons. They did not regard Wei Qing as their brother, but only asked him to herd sheep. Zheng Ji didn't speak for him either. In this way, young Wei Qing became silent facing the sheep and the dry wind on the mountain all day long.
Wei Qing grew up slowly like this.
"Your appearance is beyond words. In the future, you will definitely be able to become a general and become a marquis for your meritorious service!"
This is what a prisoner wearing a shackle said to Wei Qing when he went to Ganquan Palace. "It's good to be able to eat without being beaten or scolded. How can I, a child born from a slave, expect to be a marquis?" The prisoner wanted to continue, but Wei Qing shook his head and walked away.
Later, Wei Qing became a cavalryman of the Pingyang Hou family, and later followed Wei Zifu into the palace and walked in Jianzhang Palace.
Gillian conspired with her mother, the eldest princess, to kidnap Wei Qing. When he was about to take action, Wei Qing's good friend Lang Guan Gongsun Ao and other warriors broke in and rescued him. Wei Qing kept this experience at the gate of hell deep in his heart.
Emperor Wu immediately understood what was going on. He recruited Wei Qing, appointed him as the supervisor of the founding chapter, and gave him the title of servant to show his favor. His half-brothers also received rewards. In a few days, they accumulated as much as a thousand pieces of gold, making them all noble. Wei Ru's eldest daughter, Wei Ru, married Grand Servant Sun He. The second daughter Wei Shaoer had an affair with Chen Zhang, so Emperor Wu summoned Chen Zhang and gave him an official position. Gongsun Ao saved Wei Qing and became more and more prominent. Soon, Emperor Wu promoted Wei Qing to Dazhong Dafu.
From then on, Emperor Wu became closer to Wei Qing and relied on him as a helping hand.
Chen Gillian was trapped in the long door due to practicing witchcraft.
In addition to the relatives outside the palace, the women in the palace did not let Emperor Wu worry. Among them, Queen Chen Ajiao is the leader.
The women in the palace looked up at the sky and looked down at the palace walls. They could not get out, so their only hope was in the favor of the only man in the palace - the emperor. Therefore, the competition for favor in the harem may not necessarily be about glory and wealth, but perhaps it is just a means for these people who are drowning in the river of eternal loneliness to fight and struggle.
After Wei Zihu became favored and gave birth to a son, Liu Zhi, for Emperor Wu, Gillian's status deteriorated day by day. Her resentment slowly turned into resentment, but the person she hated was not Emperor Liu Che, but Wei Zifu. Like all women who compete for favor, Wei Zifu has a special codename "Fox Spirit" in Gillian's heart.
Naturally, you cannot use ordinary means to deal with vixens. So Gillian invited a wizard to use witchcraft to curse her. Unexpectedly, Zihu was not dead, but her practice of witchcraft was exposed. At this time, Emperor Wu wanted to completely get rid of the prostitution of his aunt and mother-in-law, the eldest princess Liu, so he asked the jailer Zhang Tang to try the case.
Zhang Tang is a native of Du County. He showed his genius in investigating cases when he was a child. His father was the magistrate of Chang'an County, in charge of clerical affairs and prisons. It seems that Zhang Tang's talent for investigating cases was partly inherited from his family. One time, Zhang's father went out on business, leaving Zhang Tang, who was still a child, to look after him at home. But when Father Zhang came back, he found that there was a lot less meat in the house, and the remaining parts still had rat teeth marks on them. So he poured his anger on Zhang Tang and gave him a full whip. Zhang Tang didn't cry. He just dug around in the house, found the mouse hole, and found the mouse and its uneaten meat.
Zhang Tang did not directly kill the rat to vent his anger, but creatively tortured and interrogated the rat repeatedly, and used the leftover meat from the rat's nest as evidence to confront the rat. Finally, Zhang Tang wrote down the interrogation process as a crime and reported it to himself. Then he shot the rat in dismemberment and executed it.
Zhang's father saw the process of Zhang Tang's trial, and then read the verdict written by Zhang Tang, who was like a senior jailer. He was so surprised that he realized that his son was a genius in judging cases, so he found the documents to judge the case. For him to learn and think about. After the death of Zhang's father, Zhang Tang took over his father's position and worked as a jailer in Chang'an for a long time. Because of his ruthlessness and genius in sentencing, Tian Fu took a fancy to him and promoted him to be the supplementary censor.
After the Queen Chen witchcraft case was discovered, Emperor Wu selected Zhang Tang as the chief judge of the case. Ordinarily, such matters involving the harem are best handled by Zong Zheng, but Emperor Wu's intention of using Zhang Tang was obvious.
Zhang Tang did not disappoint Emperor Wu. He quickly convicted and executed all the more than 300 people in Gillian Palace who were involved in witchcraft. As for Gillian, Emperor Wu would handle it himself.
Emperor Wu's edict read like this: "The queen is out of order and is confused by witchcraft. She cannot inherit the destiny of heaven. She wears the seal ribbon and retires to Changmen Palace."
"Emperor Xiaowu, Empress Chen, was lucky at that time, but she was quite jealous. She was not in Changmen Palace, feeling depressed and sad. She heard that Sima Xiangru of Chengdu, Shu County, was a scholar in the world, and offered a hundred catties of gold to get wine for Xiangru and Wenjun. Because of the words to relieve sorrow. And Xiangru wrote the article to understand the Lord, and Empress Chen regained her relatives." ---Nagato Fu and Preface
Nagato Fu and order
Han Dynasty·Sima Xiangru
His speech said: "What a beautiful woman I am, I am looking forward to meeting each other for a long time, and getting married after being happy with each other. Yi Yu's ambition is slow and foolish, but he has a pure and timid joy. I am willing to ask questions and advance on my own, and get the jade voice of Shang Jun. . Following the false words and looking forward to the truth, I looked forward to the palace in the south of the city. I repaired the thin tools and set up here by myself. You were not willing to come by luck. I was alone and lurking but specialized. The sky was drifting and the wind was blowing. I climbed to the Orchid Terrace and looked into the distance. The spirit is in a daze and lustful. The floating clouds are gloomy and blocked, the sky is slim and the day is overcast. The thunder is ringing loudly, the sound is like the sound of your car. The wind comes back and rises from the boudoir, holding up the curtains and canopies. Osmanthus tree They are intertwined with each other, and they are fragrant and fierce. Peacocks gather together and coexist, Xuanji whistles and chants. Emeralds come and gather with their wings, and luan and phoenix fly north and south.
The heart is not relaxed because of the squeaking, and the evil spirit is strong and attacking. Go down to the Orchid Terrace and look around, walking calmly in the deep palace. The main hall is built with blocks to create the sky, which rises together and makes the sky high. I moved and leaned on the east chamber, watching my husband wandering and wandering endlessly. The jade houses are packed with gold, and the sound is like the sound of bells.
The carved magnolia is thought to be a thorn, and the decorated apricot is thought to be a beam. Luo Fengrong wanders among the trees, separated from the building and supporting each other. The rosewood trees are spread out, and the beams are arranged in various places. The time seems to be divided into categories, like generals gathering stones. The five colors dazzle each other, and the rotten shines into light. The result is that the stone is broken, like the article written by Xuan Mao. The curtains of Zhang Luoqi are hanging down, and the connecting lines of Chu Chu are formed.
Carefully touch the pillars and lintels, and look at the center of the Qutai. The white crane is croaking and wailing, and the lonely female is parading among the withered poplar trees. At dusk, I feel hopeless, feeling alone in the empty hall. The bright moon hangs to illuminate itself, and I spend the clear night in the bridal chamber. I use the elegant qin to change the tune, and the melancholy and thoughtful music cannot last long. The case flow has turned around, and the sound is young and wonderful, but then it rises again. Looking through the experience, the thoughts are generous and sincere. The people on the left and right are sad and weeping, and the tears are flowing away and helpless. Relaxation makes me feel depressed, and I feel anxious when I step on my feet. Pulling on his long sleeves to hide himself, he counts the ruins of the past. There was no face to show, so I went to bed in despair. If you think that you are lying on the pillow, it is fragrant because of the orchids.
Suddenly I fell asleep and dreamed, as if I were beside you. Be wary of being awake without seeing, your soul is far away as if you are dead. The chickens crow and feel sad, and they rise to gaze at the moonlight. The audience's ranks of stars are coming, and Bi Subaru comes from the east. Looking at the kindness of the atrium, it is like frost in autumn. The night is as graceful as the old one, and the mood is so gloomy that it can no longer change. Dan Yan Jian, waiting for the dawn, desolate pavilions and then regain the light. I feel so sad that I dare not forget it no matter how old I am. "
Translation: "A beautiful woman from somewhere came softly with jade steps. Her soul drifted away and never reunited, and she was haggard and alone. She once promised me to visit often, but she forgot about her old friend because of new love. She never saw her again and fell in love with another beauty. blind date.
What I did was so stupid, just to win the favor of my husband. May you give me a chance to cry, and may your husband give you an answer. Even though he knew it was a lie, he still wanted to believe that it was sincerity and looked forward to meeting Nagato. The bed is made every day, but the husband refuses to come. The corridor is lonely and calm, the wind is blowing and the morning is cold. Climbing up the Orchid Terrace and looking at the husband in the distance, my mind was in a trance, like a dream or a soul. Floating clouds came from all directions, the sky suddenly changed, and the weather became suddenly cloudy. A series of heavy thunder sounds, like Lang Jun's car group. The wind rustled up, blowing the bed curtains. The woods swayed to each other, and there were bursts of fragrance. Peacocks came to pay homage one after another, and apes roared and mourned. The emerald wings connected together and descended, and the phoenix flew into the forest from north to south.
The overwhelming sadness cannot be calmed down, and it is heavy and accumulated in my heart. I was even more confused when I went down to Orchid Terrace, wandering deep in the palace until dusk. The majestic palace is like a divine work of God, standing tall and adjacent to heaven. I feel doubly melancholy in the east chamber, saddened by this prosperous world of mortals. The jade-carved portals and gold-decorated palaces echo like clear bells.
The rafters are carved from magnolia wood and the beams are decorated from apricot wood. The luxurious reliefs are densely packed and magnificent. The arches are gorgeous and jagged, reaching toward the sky. They come together vividly in a blur, as if they are all exuding fragrance. The colors are dazzling and brilliant, emitting strange light. The bricks and tiles carved with precious stones are as soft as the coat of arms on the back of a tortoiseshell. The curtains on the bed are often open, and the jade belts are always hooked to both sides.
Touching the jade pillar affectionately, the curved platform is close to Weiyang Palace. The white crane sings sadly, trapped alone in the withered poplar. It's another long night of despair, and a thousand kinds of sadness are all in an empty hall. Only the bright moon in the sky shines on me, and the clear night is close to the bridal chamber. Holding the Yao Qin and wanting to play other tunes, this sorrow will last forever. The sound of the piano changes tune, gradually from sad to soaring. Contains love and loyalty, generous and high-spirited. The palace maid cried when she heard the sound, and her sobs were woven into a desolate scene. Sighing with sorrow, already standing up but still hesitant. He raised his sleeves to cover the tears on his face, deeply regretting his past arrogance. Without the face to see anyone, I went to bed slumped. Pillows and mats made of ylang-ylang tadpole, etc. exude the herbaceous fragrance of ylang-yellow tadpole.
Suddenly he woke up from his dream and vaguely lay beside Lang Jun again. Suddenly all illusions were awakened, and the soul felt as if it was dead. The rooster has crowed but it is still midnight, struggling to stand alone against the moonlight. Look at the stars densely spread across the sky, and the star Bi Mao has moved to the east. The moonlight in the courtyard is like water, like frost falling in late autumn. The night is as deep as the year, and I am depressed and somewhat sentimental. I can no longer sleep and wait for the dawn, which is so long. There is only self-sorrow and sadness, and we will never forget each other year after year. "
This poem uses scenes to describe emotions, and the scenes blend together to express Empress Chen's anguish and depression after being abandoned. The artistic expression repeatedly overlaps and expresses female emotions extremely delicately. It is an excellent erotic style poem.
Thinking about the past: He promised to go in the morning and come in the evening, but it was getting late and he had not yet seen his luck. She wanders alone, filled with hope and loss for love. She climbed to the Orchid Terrace and watched his whereabouts from a distance, only to see floating clouds all around and a dark sky. There was a thunderous sound, and she thought it was the monarch's chariot, but all she saw was the wind blowing around the curtains.
Within a few years, Gillian passed away in pain and desolation.
Once upon a time, the beauty was hidden in a golden house, but what about now? It makes people sigh.
