Xu Hui, a native of Huzhou Great Wall, was the concubine of Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and the daughter of Xu Xiaode, the secretariat of Tang Dynasty. She was born in 627 AD, the first year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong, and she was able to speak five days after her birth. Four-year-old Tong Lunyu and his poems. At the age of eight, I was an excellent writer. Xu Xiaode once called Li Sao a hill, which was heard by Taizong and accepted as a gifted scholar. In the last years of Zhenguan, Taizong, who wrote a letter to remonstrate and conquer, was quite clever in his words. Emperor Taizong died of grief and refused to take medicine. He wrote a seven-character poem and Julian came to see his ambition. I will die next year, too. Give it to a virtuous princess. Hui Fei's works, including advising Emperor Taizong not to fight, still exist today.
Young and smart
When Xu Hui entered the palace at the age of eleven, she was first named as a gifted scholar, then as a Jieyu, and then promoted to all-round ability. Before Emperor Taizong died, the testamentary edict made all the concubines who had no children in the harem become monks. Except Xu Hui and a few others. Seeing that Taizong died of illness, Xu Hui refused to take medicine. Two years later, he died at the age of 24.
Xu Huisheng was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang. Huzhou is rich in female prodigies, and Li Jilan and Xu Hui, famous talented women in the south of the Yangtze River, are the best in this respect. While other children's tongues are licking their toes, Xu Hui has already started to call mom and dad. When other children only knew 1234, she had read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly. At the age of eight, I can export poetry, and my handwriting is beautiful and quite standard. At that time, her father, Xu Xiaode, wanted to test her, so he asked her to write a poem in the style of Li Sao after Qu Yuan's Li Sao. Isn't it Qu Yuan's style of Li Sao? Xiao Xuhui didn't frown, but found a pen and paper. In a short time, he became a poem called Zhunshan: "Look up at the secluded rock and caress Gui Zhi for meditation; I want to meet this Millennium, and I want to go alone. "
Xu Hui
When this song was included in the whole Tang poetry, it especially marked the shocked reaction of his father Xu Xiaode. In this poem, Xiao Xuhui shows her reverence and admiration for Qu Yuan: Qu Yuan, a real person, appeared a thousand years ago. Your purity is like vanilla, so why did you die alone? The works of eight-year-old children can contain such feelings and such lofty sentiments, which is probably unimaginable. Although, the real Qu Yuan in history not only has cleanliness addiction in character and conduct, but also has serious cleanliness addiction in living habits. However, a small poem by Xiao Xuhui touched the inner secret of this eternal poet intentionally or unintentionally.
At the age of eleven, Xu Hui's talent has become famous. Of course, this is not difficult to reach Li Shimin's ears. Although Li Shimin is not dissolute, she is also lewd. How can such a good woman be spared? So an imperial edict called for talents and took Jiangnan talented women who were only eleven years old into their arms.
Enter the palace
It is a good thing for Xu Hui, who is diligent and easy to read, to write poems and settle down to enter the palace, because there are more books in the palace than anywhere else in Xu Hui.
With a strong curiosity, she has the opportunity to read books, and her knowledge and insight are improved faster. Li Shimin is a man of great taste, and he also has high demands on the women around him. Seeing that Xu Hui is so studious, he is also very happy and takes care of her. It wasn't long before she was promoted from the last talent of her nine wives to the eighth grade. But Xu Hui gave Li Shimin a lot of happiness. On one occasion, Li Shimin sent someone to call Xu Hui to see himself. He was in high spirits, but Xu Hui was late. Li Shimin waited for a long time, but his kindness turned into a raging fire. When Xu Huishan arrived, she saw Li Shimin's icy face at a glance. Although she knew that her husband was unhappy, she just smiled and wrote a poem to her husband: the morning is coming, and the makeup stops. A daughter began to smile and told her to come. "This poem was later compiled into" The Whole Tang Poetry "and was collected by Emperor Taizong.
Have political views
Li Shimin smiled after reading it, and all his anger disappeared at once. In addition to literary attainments, Xu Hui also has a good eye for politics. In the later period of Li Shimin's rule, he was overjoyed and attacked Korea many times, wasting people's money and lives, so people complained bitterly. Xu Hui tried to protest to him many times, but she held back. Later, in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, she couldn't stand it anymore. She carefully wrote a letter to Li Shimin, clearly pointing out that "the vast land is not the art of Chang 'an; Hard-working people are symbols of chaos. "I hope Li Shimin can be thrifty, stop the war, and return the people to peace. Li Shimin woke up after reading and gave Xu Hui a heavy reward.
Melancholy and premature death
However, this beautiful woman is unlucky. In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Taizong died, and Xu Hui fell ill with grief, but refused to be treated by doctors too much. When she was dying, she also wrote poems and lines, pinning her deep affection and nostalgia for Emperor Taizong. In the first year of Yonghui, that is, two years after Taizong's death, Xu Hui died at the age of 24. Emperor Gaozong saw his virtue and wrote a letter to pursue this "virtuous princess". According to her last wish, she was buried in Zhaoling, fulfilling her wish of "serving the late emperor day and night".
Bridging for Wu Zetian
As far as love is concerned, Xuhui is undoubtedly loyal to Li Shimin. However, Xu Hui's love for Li Shimin sometimes goes too far, especially when Li Shimin treats the concubines in the harem, Xu Hui shows her generous mind. Wu Zetian can walk on the dragon bed in Li Shimin because of Xu Hui's matchmaking.
Xuhui statue
Xu Hui, please
Wu Zetian was a palace maid who entered the palace with Xu Hui at the same time. When Xu Hui was crowned as a gifted scholar, the beauty of Shanxi soldiers had never met Li Shimin, so she stayed in Yeting Palace all day and learned some rules, manners and languages from eunuchs. The shrewd Wu Zetian had an idea. She wants to worship her sister with Xu Hui and get close to Li Shimin through Xu Hui.
Therefore, Wu Zetian tried every means to please Xu Hui every day. This Xu Hui is a famous Jiangnan talented woman in the harem. Wu Zetian often goes to her bedroom to ask him questions about her study. After a while, the two became acquainted. Wu Zetian saw that the time was ripe and asked Xu Hui to worship her sisters. Xu Hui readily agreed without thinking. That evening, the two dressed up and went to the yard, burning incense and becoming sworn brothers, swearing to each other that the two sisters would be by the emperor's side, taking care of each other and never parting.
Recommend Wu Zetian
Therefore, when Xuhui buried Li Shimin, she built a bridge for Wu Zetian. Li Shimin, of course, believed in the candidate recommended by Jiangnan talented woman and agreed to let Wu Zetian serve for one night. In this way, Wu Zetian successfully stepped onto Li Shimin's bedroom.
However, when Wu Zetian first knew that she wanted to accompany the emperor, she was a little nervous. Of course, she knew that there were many competitors in this magnificent palace. At the same time, it naturally aroused her strong desire to get ahead, and she felt that she must surpass them in the future. At midnight that day, under the guidance of eunuchs carrying lanterns, Wu Zetian came to the Ganlu Hall where Li Shimin lived at that time. I finally met this Zhenguan son of heaven in Datang. Looking at the emperor in front of her, Wu Zetian's heart was so nervous that she was about to jump out. Li Shimin was so excited that he behaved rudely. She felt a pain and two lines of tears could not help rolling out.
And at the moment of Li Shimin beaming. In his eyes, this tear is like a rare treasure, and no one has ever cried in front of him. In the past, there were countless lucky girls in Li Shimin. They all tried their best to bear it, with stiff smiles on their puppet-like faces. Wu Zetian in her arms at the moment is different. She doesn't hide the pain at this time. Tears on the cheeks of her pear-shaped face are crystal clear and shining with charming light. This makes Li Shimin feel precious and carefree.
Li Shimin was moved by Wu Zetian's tears, not only named her a gifted scholar, but also named her Mei Niang personally. Therefore, the harem is commensurate with the talented Wu Meiniang. When Wu Zetian withdrew from Ganlu Palace, it was nearly midnight. She was so excited that she returned to Ye Ting Palace.
Be in sb's favor
After the spring breeze, Li Shimin felt that he wanted more. One day later, he couldn't wait to call Wu Zetian. Waiting on the emperor again makes this beautiful woman in Bing feel extremely honored and honored. So, that night, Wu Zetian was more radiant and beautiful than before.
As a generation of emperors, Li Shimin likes both the charm of Wu Zetian and Xu Hui's poems. Of course, he prefers Xuhui's grace and generosity. Therefore, his sincere feelings for Xu Hui are more than those of Wu Zetian. This is also the real reason why Xuhui fell in love with Li Shimin. But what Xu Hui didn't expect was that Wu Zetian kept an underground lover relationship with her husband's son when she was in whirlwind love with her husband.
