41-year-old Zhao Mingcheng knows Laizhou, this year, Li Qingzhao is 38 years old. Although 20 years have passed, Li Qingzhao is no longer the youthful little girl, but the beauty of love and the tranquility of the years still accompany her.
The combination with Zhao Mingcheng is not only a good match for a talented woman, but also a like-minded acquaintance. They used to be the most beautiful scenery in Bianjing City, and they have been together for many years, and their feelings are deeper.
Although Li Qingzhao was illiterate, in Zhao Mingcheng, she felt the power of tranquility. When Zhao Mingcheng was going to Laizhou, she chose to stay in Qingzhou. However, a long separation will eventually lead to separation, and the two can only end up parting ways and become strangers.
So, Li Qingzhao stayed alone in Qingzhou for a while, and then rushed to Laizhou to reunite with Zhao Mingcheng. In Laizhou, their life was not satisfactory, but for Li Qingzhao, plainness is happiness.
However, the world is unpredictable, and the ordinary life she longs for is suddenly shattered. In the second year of Jingkang, the Great Song Dynasty suffered unprecedented humiliation, the entire Central Plains was shrouded in war, and Li Qingzhao's small family was also on the verge of collapse.
In troubled times, there is a man to rely on, which is undoubtedly a lucky thing for women. However, Zhao Mingcheng disappointed Li Qingzhao. Although Li Qingzhao is a woman, her inner ambition is no less than that of a man.
If she were a man, she might wield a spear and fight for her country. The heroes in the world are like stars, but there are very few who can be worshiped by Li Qingzhao, just take the sacrifice for the country as an example, the hero Yue Fei at that time was naturally her idol.
Why did Li Qingzhao not mention Yue Fei, but chose to use Xiang Yu to express his dissatisfaction with her husband? The reason for this may be found in the text of an inscription. It turned out that Li Qingzhao had a special relationship with Qin Hui, who murdered Yue Fei.
Li Qingzhao was born in a scholarly family, and his father Li Gefei was a cultural person and a literary scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, who had intersected with Su Shi. Li Gefei's concept of education is very open, which gives Li Qingzhao the opportunity to study wantonly, unlike ordinary women, who can only stab women in the pavilion.
With her outstanding literary talent, Li Qingzhao has won the honorific title of "the first talented woman in the ages". In that era when women were regarded as talentless and immoral, she surpassed many men with her outstanding poetry creation, and became the representative lyricist of the Song Dynasty's graceful school, which can be called a legend in history.
Although ancient marriages emphasized the right family, Li Qingzhao, who was born in the aristocracy, was naturally no exception. However, her fate is closely related to her beloved Zhao Mingcheng.
Although Zhao Mingcheng gave her 20 years of stability, later, he made her feel cold, it turned out that he was not the big hero who could escort her.
During Zhao Mingcheng's tenure as the prefect of Jiangning, the imperial ruler Wang also intended to rebel, and his subordinates immediately reported to Zhao Mingcheng. However, he did not do anything, and when the rebellion broke out, Zhao Mingcheng escaped from the city wall using a rope.
He left behind the people of Jiangning and left Li Qingzhao. This made Li Qingzhao feel ashamed. After the rebellion was quelled, Zhao Mingcheng was dismissed from office by the imperial court. Looking at her husband's cowardice, Li Qingzhao's complex emotions in her heart can be imagined.
Despite this, Li Qingzhao decided to go to Zhao Mingcheng. She didn't quarrel with him, but the once harmonious relationship between the two no longer exists. In the face of the southern invasion of the northern Jin soldiers, Li Qingzhao showed heroic spirit, while Zhao Mingcheng was re-activated by the imperial court as the governor of Huzhou.
Faced with the grim situation, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng separated again. Li Qing is white, husband and wife are separated, and it is possible that they will be separated at any time. And Zhao Mingcheng's cowardice in the mutiny is like a carving knife, deeply engraved in her heart and cannot be erased.
Li Qingzhao's collection of calligraphy and painting artifacts worried her, and she asked Zhao Mingcheng what to do if he encountered an accident. After hesitating, Zhao Mingcheng suggested discarding the baggage and clothing first, followed by books, scrolls, and ancient artifacts.
Li Qingzhao felt very sad about this, because these items were life to her. However, the turmoil of the times forced her to seek Zhao Mingcheng's help again, and together they fled to the West.
However, Li Qingzhao felt very embarrassed that Zhao Mingcheng just blindly ran away in this situation, and did not move forward bravely.
Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng traveled south and came to the Wujiang River where Xiang Yu killed himself. She stood by the river, looking at the vast river, with a lot of thoughts. Full of pride and ambition in her heart, she wrote a well-known poem: "Life is a hero, death is also a ghost."
So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Although Zhao Mingcheng may not be able to compare with Xiang Yu, there are still many heroes who stand up when the country is in danger, and Yue Fei is one of the most worthy of admiration.
Yue Fei's feat once made the Southern Song Dynasty raise his eyebrows, and it was impossible for Li Qingzhao not to know about it.
The reason why Li Qingzhao did not praise Yue Fei was because there was a special connection between her and Qin Hui. The identity of Li Qingzhao's mother has been controversial in history, but it was finally confirmed after the discovery of Wang Qi's epitaph inscription.
The historical identity of Li Qingzhao's father, Li Gefei, is not disputed.
Wang Qi's epitaph is called the Wang Wengong Gongqi Shinto Monument, and this inscription records that one of the daughters of Prime Minister Wang Qi married Li Gefei, which means that Li Qingzhao's mother was the eldest queen of Wang Qi's family.
Wang Jue had a total of six children, among which Wang Zhongshan's daughter married the traitor Qin Hui, so Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui were related. Overall, this epitaph is very credible and is an important reference for studying the history of the royal family.
Qin Hui's wife, Wang, is Li Qingzhao's cousin, so there is a special kinship between Qin Hui and Li Qingzhao. It is said that Qin Hui once secretly harmed Yue Fei with his wife Wang, and Wang's six-character policy of "it is easy to capture the tiger, but it is difficult to release the tiger" made Qin Hui make up his mind and killed Yue Fei.
Although Li Qingzhao has always drawn a clear line with Qin Hui, due to her kinship, she cannot publicly praise Yue Fei. This situation made Li Qingzhao very embarrassed when dealing with the relationship with Qin Hui.
