Chang'an ancient meaning

In the second year of Kaiyuan, after Li Chengqi, king of Ning, Li Chengyi, king of Shen, and Li Shouli, king of Bin, were assassinated, Li Fan, king of Qi, was appointed as governor of Jiangzhou, and Wang Liye of Xue was appointed governor of Tongzhou.Because a courtier reported that Xingqingfang was the emperor's former residence of Longxing, and it was not suitable for kings to use it as a residence. Therefore, Li Chengqi and others submitted a report from a distance, please dedicate the residence as the emperor's palace.Appreciated by the emperor, he ordered the residences of the princes to be rebuilt into Xingqing Palace, and a "building of flowers and calyxes" was built on the former site of Prince Ning's mansion, and a "building for diligent government affairs" was built on the former site of Prince Ping's mansion as the emperor's daily residence.

Li Chengqi, who was far away in Qizhou, looked at the words "Calyx Xianghui" and Xianghui on the residence newspaper, and did not speak for a long time.The alley where Hua Nu blocked his horses with peonies in hairpins, the hall where Hua Nu played the drum after getting drunk, the wall where Hua Nu came to persuade him to eat, the warm pavilion he promised Hua Nu in this life, the Longchi where they went boating together , had already been smashed to pieces with a hammer, and disappeared without a single thought.It turns out that memory is also inaccurate. Time and space can be tampered with and destroyed at will. To erase a piece of history, a historian only needs to smear a piece of ink. .

Concubine Yuan thought that she left in such a hurry that day, she didn't bring many things with her, and she didn't know what happened. She felt sore, she leaned next to Li Chengqi and whispered: "Now we have a country but no home."

There is a country without a home.Li Chengqi smiled shyly. From a distance, it looked like Jun's house, with many pines and cypresses. The veteran left home for sixty years, and there was still a hometown to miss.When he was young in Luoyang, he always felt that he was a stranger in a foreign land, and he believed that he would return to Chang'an in the future. Now that even Chang'an has become a foreign land, where in the world is his hometown that he can miss.Apart from the ever-present pain in his heart, what else could prove the past between him and Hua Nu, and the short-lived prosperity that once belonged to them.Maybe he is really just a passer-by in the world, passing through his life in a hurry, like sweeping water to startle a bird, blowing flowers and spring breeze, nothing will be left behind.

Since the emperor came back from Lishan, he moved out of Taiji Palace and lived in Daming Palace.The emperor was busy with government affairs, but he came to the Supreme Emperor's place to say hello for five days. After the princes left Beijing, the only one who accompanied the Supreme Emperor was Concubine Doulu.This palace, which was full of splendor during the reigns of Taizong and Gaozong, is now silent all day long and has been abandoned as an abandoned garden.The Taishanghuang has been in good and bad health recently, unable to get up for several days when he is weak, but occasionally he is a little bit energetic. With the support of Concubine Doulu, he walked out of Baifu Yuan and walked slowly back and forth in the huge Taiji Palace.Because the ministers didn't have to go to court in Wude Hall, and the government offices such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also moved to Daming Palace, no one restricted the freedom of the Supreme Emperor. For the first time in his life, he became the real master of this palace.

The maids and servants staying in the Taiji Palace all know that this is idle work, and they are the same as the Supreme Emperor who used to be the supreme emperor in the world, but they just borrow a place to retire.They were not afraid of the old man. Whenever the old man limped by, they squinted their eyes helplessly, looking at his rickety and difficult figure with sympathy.Just because they all know that this old man will leave before them.After throwing away power and wealth, there is only the cruel life of Daping, with white hair on his head, life and death, justice that even the Ninth Five-Year King can't hide.

Because no one cleaned the palace seriously, the flowers, plants and trees all over the palace, like the people here, were forgotten by the world and left to fend for themselves.The resplendent bricks and tiles on the dragon tower and phoenix palace are dimming day by day. The colors that dominate the palace are the burning flowers in spring, the shadows of trees in summer, the rustling trees in autumn, and the white snow in winter.Occasionally, the Supreme Emperor would sit on the steps in front of the palace with a few old servants on a sunny day, and listen to them talking about the past. He listened curiously and smiled as if he had never heard of it before. It was the little excitement he had left.

But he couldn't tell these people about his past.He staggered past the East Palace, and saw that the pines and cypresses planted by his elder brother Hong were already as thick as an armband, and he was really shocked.No wonder Huan Wen cried when he said "the tree is like this". It turns out that there is no time to do anything in this life, and it is time to leave.

Among the shadows of the trees, he saw the figure of the elder brother bowing his head and playing the piano, the figure of the second brother swinging the cue, the figure of the third brother anxiously and excitedly surrounding the fighting cock, and the figure of Taiping sitting on the swing and soaring into the air.He walked through the Hall of Martial Virtue, and heard his father deal with the ministers' fervent remonstrances tiredly and gently, heard the bead curtain behind the throne being fluttered by the wind from time to time, and heard his mother's firm and wise voice echoing in the empty court hall.He couldn't see their faces clearly, they were as vague as shadow puppets separated by a paper screen, quiet and vivid.Their cries, laughter, aspirations, and ambitions all surround this palace, and only he can understand them.

Apart from reminiscing about the past when he was young, what the Supreme Emperor thinks about the most is the sons and daughters scattered all over the place, Hua Nu from Puzhou, Li Chengqi from Qizhou, Li Chengyi from Youzhou, Li Fan from Jiangzhou, and Li Ye from Tongzhou.He seemed to miss them all his life, when he was imprisoned by his mother in the palace, at least he knew that they were taken care of by Taiping outside, so his thoughts were only in one place.Now that his longing has been divided into so many parts, his old heart seems to be gradually unable to bear it anymore.It is said that the emperor lives in the world, and the palace calls the emperor his house, because the emperor regards the world as his house and the whole world as his home.It turns out that the world is home, but there is no home in the world.

The Supreme Emperor still recited sutras every day. He recited the altar sutra, the heart sutra, and the five thousand words of Nanhua and morality, without any order or taboo.The good and evil that belonged to him cannot be confirmed from the scriptures, and the answer to his bizarre life cannot be found from the scriptures.Buddhism and Taoism, for him, are all intoxicated and forgotten for a while. Others buy drunk with wine, and the imperial doctor does not allow him to drink, so he can only turn to the scriptures for help.Every time he reads "Prajna Paramita is a great god mantra, a great Ming mantra, an unsurpassed mantra, a mantra without equals, which can remove all suffering", he will feel a little bit of comfort in his heart, just like the sons and daughters who are far away from home. , so that there will be less suffering.He is a useless father, the only thing he can do for them is the most vain thing.

The emperor loved his brothers and couldn't bear the long absence of the kings. He authorized one person to enter the court every season. Li Chengqi and others also had the opportunity to return to Chang'an to visit their father once a year.In the early summer of the fourth year of Kaiyuan, it was King Qi's turn to enter the pilgrimage.Li Fan is unrestrained and unrestrained, he met the most honored children in the imperial court, it is rare to come back once, reminiscing about the old days is not enough time, he can't wait to have a feast every night and swim with candles, but he has asked his father twice, but he is nowhere to be seen.The Supreme Emperor knew his temperament, and he didn't care about it. Every year when his spirit was at his best, it was when his four sons were in Chang'an.When I got up that morning, I sat on the porch and watched Concubine Doulu bring a few maids to cut flowers for Buddha. I was thinking in my heart that Li Fan liked fresh rose stuffing. They picked them all and let Li Fan take them back to Jiangzhou to pickle them.

He suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was Li Fan who came with Princess Huo, and his children came to visit him so early, he couldn't help being happy, but then he felt a little surprised, both of them Walking in a hurry, Princess Huo trotted with her skirt in hand to catch up with her brother. The Supreme Emperor stood up slowly while supporting the pillar, looking at his children in bewilderment and helplessness.

When he got closer, Li Fanfang was about to salute, but Princess Huo Guo had rushed to her father's feet and cried bitterly: "Father, save yourself! Save your daughter!" The Supreme Emperor bent down to support his daughter, and said anxiously: "What happened? Li Fan thought that he hadn't slept all night, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was pale. He knelt down and said, "Father, the fault of this matter is entirely with the son. Last night my brother-in-law, Yan Chaoyin, Liu Tingqi, Zhang E, and Zheng Yao came to my house to drink and compose poems. Xu Ji brought me a photo book of Liang’s fate. Who knew that before the banquet was over, the Nanya Imperial Guards broke in and captured them all. We went to look for the third brother just now, and the third brother said that Xu Ji would offer prophecy The book is a death penalty, at least it must be sent to Lingnan. Daddy, Xuji only found out that I like to collect strange books, so I found them for me, and we did not do anything disobedient!" [1]

The Supreme Emperor was anxious and in pain, and tremblingly said: "Did you stay the court officials at home late at night?" Li Fan was startled, and then said: "My sister-in-law is from my own family, and those people are my friends, Daddy Don't you know!" The Supreme Emperor said anxiously: "But they are even foreign officials! The emperor has an order that the kings are not allowed to make friends with foreign officials, why don't you listen!" Li Fan trembling all over, said: "It turns out that father and third brother speak in the same way. , I understand..." He suddenly sneered and said, "Third brother will immediately know who I see, what I say, and what books I read. Life like this is boring! I'm going to recognize the collusion For the official's crime, let him kill me, so that he won't have to worry about it all day long!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves. The Supreme Emperor was heartbroken and shouted: "Come back! You will completely change Pei Xuji's exile!" He said dejectedly: "You shouldn't have come here. I beg you, each of you should think about your mistakes at home, and the emperor may give you a lighter sentence..."

Princess Huo stood up, shedding tears and said: "What a light sentence! Exile my husband and marry me to someone else? Daddy! I'm not a slave, I'm not a prostitute. Daddy has already chosen a son-in-law for me once. He is the only son-in-law!" She took two steps back with tears in her eyes, shook her head at Li Fan and said, "Fourth brother, let's go, daddy only has third brother in his heart, we are separated, our family is ruined, he will not care about it!" Concubine Doulu saw that the Supreme Emperor was swaying, as if she was about to collapse, she hurriedly shouted: "What are you talking about? The Supreme Emperor is doing it for your own good!"

Princess Huo Guo sneered and said: "I have reached this stage of the field, what's so good about it?" She suddenly cried: "Daddy, I hate you! I hate you!" Hammer, stroking his chest with a painful look on his face, a sharp pain in his heart, he took a step forward, but finally couldn't bear to look any more, turned around and ran out of Baifuyuan crying.

Li Fan smiled shyly, raised his head and muttered to himself: "That day in Luoyang Palace, I was also surrounded by people. I couldn't move freely, forced my face to smile, and shouted long live. At any rate, there were still big brothers, second brothers and fifth brothers. We Is this the only way to endure humiliation for the rest of my life?" Concubine Doulu felt that the weight of the Supreme Emperor leaning on her was getting heavier and heavier, as if she was about to collapse, she was so frightened that she was scared out of her wits, and said anxiously: "Silang! Do you want your father's life? !"

------------

The Supreme Emperor suddenly had a relapse of his old illness, and the Imperial Hospital urgently reported to the Emperor. The Emperor knew that it was because of the matter between Li Fan and Princess Huo, and immediately brought King Qi Li Fan to visit.Walking outside the gate of the hall, he saw the servant carrying the medicine and was about to enter, so he took it casually. When he entered the hall, he smelled a musty smell of dampness coming from nowhere.He frowned slightly, called a servant and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you burn incense?" The servant replied cautiously: "In the past, the Supreme Emperor and Mrs. Doulu kissed each other to burn incense." The emperor said: "Go and burn some incense burners." Water, arranged everywhere."

When the emperor stepped into the Nuan Pavilion, he put on a smiling expression, came to the side of the couch and knelt down and said, "Father, my son has brought his fourth younger brother to say hello." The Taishang Emperor's eyes moved slightly, but he did not open them.The emperor saw that his father had taken off his head, his white hair was fluffed up in a bun, his face was full of deep wrinkles, and the hand in front of him was like a piece of dead wood. He said that it was because of the movement of his eyelids just now, it was hard for him to see this. is a living person.As the emperor got closer, he felt that damp smell was emanating from his father. He never imagined that his father, who loved incense and grooming so much all his life, would one day emit this disgusting smell.The words "Five Decays of Heaven and Man[2]" suddenly flashed in his mind, it turned out that the emperor would also have his head shriveled and his body stinky and filthy on the day of his death, but he felt a little desolate.

The emperor got up as soon as he paid his respects, Concubine Doulu gave up his seat, the emperor sat on the side of the couch, and softly said to the Supreme Emperor: "Daddy, take medicine." The concoction trickled down the corner of his mouth.The emperor was silent for a moment, Fang wanted to reach out to wipe it, but felt disgusted, finally wiped it with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "My son knows, it is the fourth younger brother who is short-tempered and verbally offended daddy, so my son brought him here." Kneeling under the couch, Li Fan kowtowed and kowtowed and said: "My son deserves to die for his crimes, and I am frightened. I only hope that my father will be healthy, otherwise my son will never be redeemed."

The emperor said with a smile: "My brothers are friendly, and they are born without disagreement. They are just rivals and rely on each other. I will not blame my brothers for this small reason. [3]" Li Fan kowtowed: " Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." The emperor laughed again: "Pei Xu is frivolous and cunning, and he was not a good match for the eighth younger sister. I let him divorce the eighth younger sister, exile him outside the mountains, and expel the rest of them from Chang'an. .When daddy recovers, we will choose a handsome son for the eighth younger sister."

The Supreme Emperor slowly opened his eyes, his empty eyes looked at the curtain embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, but what appeared was the face of Taiping boy with tears hanging down his face, Taiping pulled his sleeve and cried: "If Daddy is still here, It won’t be like this.” At that time, he couldn’t save his sister’s son-in-law, and now that he’s a father, he can’t save his daughter’s son-in-law either.That face gradually merged with the daughter's hateful face, and he heard her shout "I hate you". She was just speaking for many people a truth that they dare not shout.

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor opened his eyes, the emperor handed over the medicine again, and comforted him, "Daddy, take the medicine." The Supreme Emperor tilted his head slightly on the pillow, and called weakly, "Sanlang." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "" My son is here." The Supreme Emperor said in a low voice, "Daddy has a few words for you, would you like to listen to them?" The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, he put the medicine bowl aside, knelt down and said: "I respectfully listen to the Holy Spirit Training." The Supreme Emperor said to Concubine Doulu: "Go get the pen and paper and let the emperor write." Concubine Doulu didn't know why the Supreme Emperor was so solemn, so she had to bring the pen and inkstone and put it in front of the emperor.The emperor spread out the paper on the ground and hung up his pen.

The Supreme Emperor was silent for a while, and then he paused word by word: "Kunji is deeply engraved, and the joy is shared. You are here to keep your love, and the family is in harmony. This is the celebration of all parties, and the extension of the nine clans. Words of kindness, solidarity It's very comforting.[4]" The emperor smiled slightly at first, then frowned, and barely finished writing: "Father, I have experienced hardships with all my brothers since childhood, and we have supported each other to achieve today. If I have the heart to doubt brothers, the gods of heaven and earth , all guilty.[5]”

A drop of tears fell from the corner of Taishanghuang's eyes, he had difficulty speaking, his breathing was heavy, but he struggled to breathe and said: "Sanlang, in my generation, there are eight brothers, and my seven elder brothers, all of them will not live forever. They are all withered, and only one of you can be preserved. Daddy's only wish in this life is for you to be safe. Now Daddy is leaving too. You call your elder brother back and let me meet again, okay? ?”

The emperor said: "Father, don't think about it. I asked the imperial physicians, and they all said that you should rest for a few days and be healthy naturally. It is the family law left by Taizong that the kings are stabbed outside. Otherwise, I will ask the Ministry of Industry to hurry up, and when the Xingqing Palace is completed this winter, I will call back my eldest brother and the others, how about we hold a family banquet in Huae Xianghui Building?"

The Supreme Emperor had expected the emperor to say this, so he was only regretful and not disappointed at all. He tilted his head with great effort, looking over the figure of the emperor, wanting to see Li Fan who was kneeling behind the emperor, but he saw that Li Fan was still standing behind him. He lowered his head and didn't look at himself.He sighed slowly, and asked again: "Is the tomb where Li Sixun is buried in Qiaoling, has it been repaired?" The emperor said: "It has been repaired. It was presided over by Li Zhaodao a few days ago, and it has already been buried." The Supreme Emperor nodded slightly, Then he closed his eyes and remained silent.

The Supreme Emperor fell into a coma for half a day. When he woke up, he saw Concubine Doulu sitting on the edge of the couch, with a sad face and two tears hanging from his chin. He raised his hand, feeling powerless, and sighed softly: "This is the second time for me to wake up. I came to see you crying. I thought it was for your own good, but I still let you suffer for me. Dou Luer, do you hate me?" Concubine Dou Lu held the hand of the Supreme Emperor and cried: "What you have done in your life I know all the hardships I have suffered. I don’t hate you, but I only hate that good fortune made you live in the emperor’s house. I beg you, take good care of yourself, and there will always be a day to reunite with Feng Nu and the others .”

The Supreme Emperor said blankly: "I heard elder brother, second elder brother, third elder brother, Taiping, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Dou calling me from the Wangxiangtai. I don't know if they hate me?" Concubine Doulu cried: "No, no, they all know that you are here to protect Tang Xueyin." The Supreme Emperor patted the back of Concubine Doulu's hand pitifully and said: "When I go, there are many relatives over there, and Li Sixun, Accompany me to write and paint, I don't expect to be lonely. I just feel sorry for you, you have no children behind you, and Erlang is too honest to rely on, or I will tell the emperor to let you go home."

Concubine Doulu cried: "I won't go anywhere. After you live forever, I will accompany you!" The emperor's face was anxious, and he gasped: "You must not!" He sighed: "In my life, There are already many sins, and I don’t know how many reincarnations can be eliminated. Sacrificial burial is against human ethics, so you don’t want it, and add to my bad karma. When a woman enters the palace, there is no joy for a living person. It’s hard, you alone... you should go back, take all the useless things behind me, your nephews should respect you, go and enjoy your family for your sister Liu and sister Dou..."'[ 6] Concubine Doulu was on fire, crying, "Stop talking!"

The Supreme Emperor smiled slightly and said: "I will explain it when I understand it. Maybe I will close my eyes and it will be too late to say it." He turned around and saw only a drowsy servant standing by the door in the hall, giving him instructions. "I want to listen to the pipa, go and fetch my Yuhuan [6] pipa." The waiter hurriedly responded, and when he fetched it, the Supreme Emperor said again: "I will stay with Mrs. Doulu for a while, you can go down. "When the servant left, the Supreme Emperor said softly, "Come on the couch and close the screen."

Concubine Doulu's heart trembled, she wiped away her tears, removed her shoes and put the screen on the couch, then locked the screen, the Supreme Emperor said in a low voice, "I will not write the last edict after my death. I have an imperial edict for Feng Nu. It's in the pipa. I wanted to give it to him personally, but I'm afraid there will be no chance. When he comes to attend the funeral, you will give this pipa to him." Concubine Doulu couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "What edict is it?" Taishang Huang said: "I chose Sanlang as the prince because I valued his ambition and courage similar to Taizong, but in the end I was wrong... He is different from Taizong. If I can't be as humble as Emperor Taizong, and respect the virtuous and corporal, if things go on like this, I'm afraid it will lead to the disaster of Shang Zhou and Xia Jie... If he really becomes a single husband in the future, I will be underground, and I will have no face to see my ancestors. As a last resort, Let Feng Nu take out the edict to save my Li family's community."

Concubine Doulu was terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "Feng Nu is soft-tempered, he can't do such a thing, this book will only bring disaster to him." The Supreme Emperor smiled wryly: "I really have no other way, I know I can't help him... If it really comes to the day of the country's survival, although Feng Nu is weak, he has the status of the eldest son, and he can also recruit people with lofty ideals to help him. This letter can somewhat save him from being a rebellious minister. I I also hope in my heart that this edict will never be brought out. I have done many wrong things in my life, and I don’t know whether this one is right or wrong... Governance depends on human affairs, chaos depends on God’s will, God’s will is irreversible, right or wrong It can only be left to future generations to see..."

Concubine Doulu hugged the pipa tightly and cried: "I understand your painstaking efforts. I will definitely hand it over to Feng Nu." The Supreme Emperor sighed softly: "Yuhuan, Yuhuan, I don't know them, when can I return it... ...I can't play anymore, you can play "Ming Jun"." Concubine Doulu flicked the strings, while playing, while silently reciting the lyrics in her heart: "Speciality is not what is safe, although it is expensive, it is not what is honored. See you, father and son. Humiliation, I am ashamed and shocked by it. It is not easy to kill one's body, but to live in silence. Life is nothing to talk about, and the accumulation is always filled with anger. May the false wings be used to conquer..." Thinking back on Li Dan's life experience, but felt All thoughts are lost, life and death are separated, there is no hope, no fear.

The Taishanghuang silently closed his eyes in the tune of Zhenyu knocking on the ice, as if it was a gurgling water, taking away the memories without leaving a trace, and finally there was nothing left.

In June of the fourth year of Kaiyuan, the Supreme Emperor Li Dan died in Baifu Yuan of Taiji Palace.The emperor ordered Su Ting to make the edict on behalf of the Supreme Emperor.The posthumous edict said: "I heard that the ancient Jianhuang inherited the great order. Although he started a business and established a lineage, it is a public tool and cannot be violated; but if he is a permanent servant, he must come to the end of the day. It is not easy. Besides, I am thin Virtue, inheriting the sacred thread, always willing to be empty and quiet, and use it to fulfill its true aspirations. In the lofty and rich, the original is not important, so the third is the son of heaven, and the third is the world. After the Ming Dynasty, it was reinstated in the Seven Temples. He appointed the emperor and sent it to the minister, and observed that his body was from Shun Yu to the Jue government. Then I will live in Fenyang, and I will not lose to the time. Why don’t you ask about sleeping and serving meals? Waiting for beauty and obedience? Filial piety has reached the gods, love has been combined with the king and father, and I have achieved my ambition. How can I celebrate this? However, I feel the old disease, and it is getting worse. The sages and sages share the same. It’s called home. If you entrust someone, how can you hate it.”

The emperor in sackcloth looked at the words that praised him, sobbing uncontrollably. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether these words were his father's original intention or someone else's.Since the Taiping incident three years ago, my father has never been close to him, never praised him, and will never have another chance in the future, so he has no choice but to deceive the world and himself in this way.

Su Ting and Zhang Shuo knelt on the ground, listening to the emperor's sobs, they dared not look up.After a while, the emperor seemed to wipe away his tears, and when he spoke, his voice was so calm that Su Ting shivered in summer.The emperor said: "Add another paragraph" after the funeral, the funeral will be done in three days, and the day will change with the moon, and it will last for a long time. A heavy burial hurts life, and it can be deeply commanded. The funeral discipline and the mountain mausoleum system follow the story of the Han Dynasty. The affairs of the community Emphasis, the emperor can't forgive you to live in secret. After a small funeral, it is better to look at things elsewhere. Generals and Yue Mu, etc., don't have to come and go where they are mourning. Hundreds of nobles, filial sons and loyal ministers, send them to the place where they live, and it is not against me. Willing, the Lord will implement it.'”[8]

Zhang Shuo and Su Ting glanced at each other, they naturally understood what the emperor meant, so they thought about the decree in their minds, except for the four assassinated princes, all foreign officials are not allowed to cry at the funeral.

The author has something to say: [1] This case happened in the eighth year of Kaiyuan, and it was brought forward because it was not available for writing that year.This princess is very pitiful. After her husband was exiled to the army, he never remarried all his life. During the Anshi Rebellion, she was thrown in Chang'an by her third brother.

[2] The five decays of heaven and man refer to the five visions of heaven and man in the desire realm, form realm, and formless realm when their lifespan is about to expire: filthy clothes, withered hair, sweaty underarms, and body odor Dirty, unhappy this seat.

[3] These are the original words Crow comforted the fourth child after exiling her brother-in-law.

[4] See the nineteen volumes of Tang Wen, and the emperor's letter.

[5] These are the original words that the crow comforted Lao Wu after he killed Lao Wu's brother-in-law. I can't write about that matter, so I asked him to confess in advance.

[6] Concubine Doulu's uncle, Doulu Qinwang, was a famous prime minister of the Celestial Dynasty. Concubine Doulu was a child of Li Danru when she was fifteen. It is recorded in "Chang'an Chronicle" that after Li Dan's death, "Rui Guogong admired him, and his concubine lived in the palace for a long time, so she never went out." .It was rare for a noble concubine to leave the palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the reason for this cannot be verified.

[7] Li Deyu's "Ci Liu's Old News?"Xingqing Palace" contains: "The Yuhuan is the pipa of Ruizong."

Zhang Hu once wrote a poem "Yuhuan Pipa": "The sound of the pipa in the palace building is full of clouds and mountains. It is the way to go. Looking back at Master Duan is not what you want, and Yuhuan can clearly hate it." This poem is about Li Sanlang who fled to the west. Before Shu, let the palace musician play a piece of music with his father's pipa, which is regarded as farewell.The musician also abused him on purpose, and he actually sang Li Qiao's "Landscape" with tears all over his clothes, making the third child cry.The musicians in Tang Palace are really talented and black-bellied.
