Shi Hai's legacy

"Le Tian, ​​why did you sneak me into the palace?" On a remote alley in the palace, a young man was pulled by the sleeve by another man, and asked helplessly.

The man called Le Tian is of course the famous Bai Letian Bai Juyi, but at this time he is still a stunned young man who has just entered the officialdom.Bai Juyi's appearance can be called handsome, but the white hair looks very dazzling with his young face.According to Bai Juyi, this hair was the result of studying hard when he was a child, and he didn't care that he was different.The young man by his sleeve was not an ordinary passerby, but Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi's best friend.Because his ancestors belonged to the Xianbei ethnic group, Yuan Zhen's facial features are quite three-dimensional, especially the high nose bridge, which adds a bit of handsomeness to him.

"I'll take you to find someone today."

Yuan Zhen looked around, and the environment became more and more quiet. He felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I can't go any further. If you go any further, you will be in the harem. Breaking into the harem is a serious crime. If you and I are caught But there is no escape."

"Don't panic, there are very few people passing by where we go, and His Majesty won't find out." Bai Juyi smiled at Yuan Zhen nonchalantly, took Yuan Zhen's hand, and interlocked his fingers, "I wanted to take him with me a long time ago." You have never been free to see her. Today you will accompany me to see her, and in the evening, I will serve you comfortably in the evening as your thank you for coming with me. "

In broad daylight, when Yuan Zhen saw Bai Juyi say such shameless words, he blushed and turned his head, and said, "Didn't I accompany you here? Who are you going to see, you tell me."

"I didn't tell you, you came and beat me."

"Okay, Bai Letian, you haven't rented a house for three days, have you?"

The two arrived at a remote palace in such a noisy manner.The fence that was supposed to be bright vermilion has become dusty, and the surroundings are dilapidated, but the yard is unexpectedly clean and tidy. A piece of land has been reclaimed in the yard, and some fruits and vegetables are planted on it. It didn't look like it was in the palace, but in the village outside the palace.

"How could there be such a place in the palace? Who should live in this kind of place." Yuan Zhen couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of him, and hurriedly asked Bai Juyi.

Bai Juyi sighed, and said in a low voice, "It's one of the colorless Six Palaces Fendai, and also the last one."

What Bai Juyi was talking about was one of the lines in the "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" that he was writing - "Looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai has no color", that is a poem written by Yang Yuhuan.Yuan Zhen also read the poem, so he knew what Bai Juyi meant.

"Nv Shangshu, I'm here to see you again." Bai Juyi shouted loudly into the courtyard.

Yuan Zhen heard a shrill and old voice coming from the hall. The voice was not pleasant, it could even be called harsh.

"It's you again, come in and sit down."

When the two of them walked into the hall, Yuan Zhen saw clearly the appearance of the owner of the voice.This person's face was full of wrinkles, one layer after another, and the eyelids no longer had the strength to support the eyes, and they drooped limply, covering most of her small eyes.Her eyes were also cloudy, and one of them was covered with a thick cloud.This person's hair is also completely white, but Bai Juyi's white hair is different.Bai Juyi's hair is bright white, although it is abrupt but not ugly, but this man's hair is gray and lifeless, like dead straw covered by frost in autumn.But even at such an old age, this person still wears powder, and her eyebrows are drawn thin and long with indigo daisy, which adds a bit of weirdness to her face.

"If you want to come and see me, they all stay away from me." The man muttered, even Bai Juyi, who was always talkative, couldn't get in, "It's all that damned Yang Yuhuan , jealous of my youth and beauty. I was only [-] that year. Before I entered the palace, everyone said that I would definitely be favored by Xuanzong. They all said that I flew on a branch and became a phoenix. I didn't even get to meet my husband, but I met Yang Yuhuan first. She saw me in the crowd at a glance, and ordered her staff to let me live in the most remote corner of Shangyang Palace. I was locked inside , Waited day and night, and then Yang Yuhuan died, she died well, but even after she died, His Majesty never came to see me."

Speaking of sadness, the palace servant took out a handkerchief, wiped his tears tremblingly, and continued: "But I can endure it, and none of them have survived me. I am still a female minister now, and I am better than the one who brought disaster to the country and the people." Yang Yuhuan is much better."

After listening to the lady-in-law's repeated chanting all afternoon, the two finally left.After walking out of the palace gate, Yuan Zhen opened his mouth and said: "I only heard that Concubine Yang Guifei has won thousands of favors, and her love for Xuanzong will last forever, but I don't know that this favor is actually made up of so many beauties and dead bones. I want to write poetry It's..."

Yuan Zhen pondered each word slowly and said: "Liaoluo Ancient Palace, Palace Flower, Palace Flower is lonely and red. The white-headed palace maid is...sitting around talking about Xuanzong."

Bai Juyi held him in his arms and said: "This poem is very good. I will write another one when I go back. We will copy them and present them to Your Majesty. I hope His Majesty will take this as a warning to reduce the number of people in the harem."

"Why do you think the emperor insisted on choosing so many concubines? Isn't it okay to take only one scoop out of three thousand?" Yuan Zhen asked.

"Royal blood has to spread." Bai Juyi asked again as if he had been inspired, "Wei Zhi, will you get married in the future?"

"Yes, I definitely will. This kind of relationship between us is always shameful. Instead of getting a bad name, it's better to marry a woman and get the protection of the father-in-law's family." Yuan Zhen replied very seriously.

Bai Juyi closed his eyes, and said rather sadly: "I knew your character a long time ago, so I shouldn't have asked this question. Then again, even if you get married, I won't let you go easily."

"Forget it, don't think these things are gone. Anyway, if it can be delayed for a day, let's cherish what we have in front of us." Yuan Zhen said, "Let's go back, whether we are going to your place or mine today."

Bai Juyi let go of Yuan Zhen's hand, and said, "Go to my place. I wrote a few more sentences in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", you go and taste it with me."

"I've memorized the first few lines of your poem by heart. I don't know when I can finish it?"

"Soon, soon. I just thought of a few words, which can be used as the ending-I wish to be a lovebird in the sky, and a twig in the ground. The sky will last forever, and this hatred will last forever."

"Are you writing about the imperial concubine, or about us?" Yuan Zhen teased.

"The first two sentences are about us, and the last two are about the imperial concubine. We are lovebirds Lian Lizhi, and they are sometimes endless."

"I found that your mouth is getting poorer and poorer."

"Aren't you used to it?"

……

It was late at night, and Bai Juyi woke up suddenly from the bed. He wiped away a few tears from the corners of his eyes nonchalantly. How could he dream of the scene where he and Huizhi visited the female minister in Shangyang Palace?Sure enough, when people are old, they always love to miss the past.Bai Juyi sat up from the bed, put on a piece of clothing, walked to the desk, lit a bean lamp, spread out a piece of paper, rubbed some ink, dipped a Langhao brush into the inkstone, and wrote on the paper road:

The night is coming together to dream together, and the morning is full of tears.

Zhangpu's old body is third-degree sick, and Xianyang grass and trees return to autumn eight times.

You buried the bones in the mud, I sent the world to the world full of snow.

Awei Hanlang went to each other, but Yetai was vaguely aware of it.

The author has something to say: Yuan Bai is so sweet.
