Li Shishi is the daughter of Li Yin, the owner of a dye house in Bianjing City. When she was three years old, her father named her a Buddhist temple, and the old monk rubbed her roof. She burst into tears. The old monk thought she looked like a Buddhist disciple, because everyone called her "teacher", so he called her Li Shishi. A year later, my father died in prison for his crime. Because of this, Lee Wan, who runs a brothel, saw that she was a beauty, so she adopted her and taught her piano, chess, painting, singing and dancing. At that time, Li Shishi became a famous prostitute in Bianjing, and was the object of contention among literati, prince and grandson. Finally, even Song Huizong wanted to kiss Fang Ze when he heard his name. Gao Qiu and Yang Jian naturally encouraged Song Huizong and vowed not to leak the news.
At the sight of Li Shishi, Song Huizong felt that he had lived in vain all these years. Li Shishi's supercilious and gentle temperament makes Song Huizong feel like a dream. Li Shishi and Gao Qiu have known each other for a long time, and they are puzzled to see a tall and powerful man respectfully treat this strange guest, but what is certain is that this is also a matter of offending dignitaries, so they serve them diligently.
Before dawn the next day, Song Huizong quickly got dressed and returned to the palace with Gao Qiu and Yang Jian. From then on, Song Huizong turned a blind eye to the harem beauty, and went out of the palace to have fun here in Li Shishi on the grounds of observing the people's feelings, and sometimes called Wang Fu, a university student, to go with him. Li Shishi gradually knew his true identity. Long live grandpa, how dare you not flatter him everywhere! Li Shishi today is not what it used to be. Although she is still a famous prostitute, she is also a "famous flower", and the powerful princes and nobles can only look at the "teacher" and sigh.
However, Jia Yi, a martial arts expert, once had a deep friendship with Li Shishi. One day, he met Li Shishi and went to stay at her house. After drinking, he was inevitably jealous and wrote a poem satirizing Song Huizong: Walking around in front of the small building, he saw a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy; I thought that sacred feeling was like a dream. I chased joy and held hands. I was arrogant in the blue room and talked about the alliance all night. Covered with the heavy smell of sandalwood smoke, it is said that the scorpion returned to the middle of the night in the early morning, leaving money that night. Song Huizong was furious and almost killed him. Finally he was demoted to Qiongzhou and joined the army.
In fact, among all the guests, Li Shishi's favorite is the genius Zhou Bangyan. Once, Song Huizong was ill, and Zhou Bangyan took this opportunity to visit Li Shishi. While they were chatting, they suddenly reported to Shengjia. Zhou Bangyan couldn't escape and hid under the bed. Song Huizong gave Li Shishi a fresh orange, chatted for a while, and then went back to the palace. Li Shishi pretended to keep saying, "It's the third watch, the horse is slippery and the frost is thick, and the dragon's body matters." Song Huizong didn't dare to stay because of his poor health, so he left in a hurry.
Zhou Bangyan added sourly: parallel knives are like water, salt is better than snow, and hands break new oranges. At the beginning of the brocade, the smell of animals is unchanged, so they sit opposite each other and tune up. Ask in a low voice: Who are you with? It's already midnight in the city, and the horses are slippery and frosty. It's better to have a rest, but there are few pedestrians. After Song Huizong recovered, Li Shishi gave a banquet here, and Li Shishi sang the first words for a while. Song Huizong asked who did it, and Li Shishi casually said it was Zhou Bangyan, and when the words came out, he regretted it. Song Huizong immediately understood that Zhou Bangyan must be in the house that day. A few days later, he found an excuse to banish Zhou Bangyan from Bianjing.
Li Shishi saw him off, and sang a song for Song Huizong composed by him, The Warrior Lanling:
Liu Yin is straight, with smoke and green leaves. On the Sui Dyke, I've seen several waves of cotton floating off. The trip to the old country, must visit the tired guest of Beijing, Changting Road. Last year, you were going to break the mulberry strips, cross thousands of feet to find old traces, mourn the strings while drinking, and the lights reflected away. Pear blossom elm fire urges cold food, and the wind is half warm when you are worried about cutting. You can count posts as soon as you turn around, hoping that people are on the sad side of Tianbei. Hatred piled up, leaving Pu lingering, and Tianjin was silent. In the sunset, Ran Ran is full of spring, holding hands and remembering the bright moon, the pavilions, the bridge and the flute, thinking about the past like a dream, and the tears are dark.
Song Huizong also felt too harsh, so he called Zhou Bangyan back and named him Sheng Da Lezheng, destined to be elegant.
1 125 years, Song Huizong gave the Zen position to Prince Zhao Huan, who honored Huizong as emperor, lived in Taiyi Palace and devoted himself to Taoism. Soon, nomads from the invasion, Song Jun losing ground, Huizong and Qinzong finally became the prisoners of Jingkang. 8 jin j tried to capture Li Shishi alive together, but failed. After the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, Li Shishi's whereabouts were unknown. Some people say that she donated property to resist gold and fled into an empty net. Some people say that she was taken by Jin Jun and swallowed gold to commit suicide. It is also said that she married a businessman casually and later drowned in Qiantang River.
(2) Li Shishi biography.
The beauty of nature makes people sigh a thousand times.
In the capital, Tokyo, restaurants are stacked one after another, and restaurants are everywhere, from dignitaries to ordinary people, which is a bustling scene.
Among them, there is a Fan Lou, carved with beams and painted with buildings, which is extremely gorgeous, attracting countless wealthy businessmen, princes and scholars to come here for a feast. There are countless restaurants in Tokyo, but only this Fan Lou is buzzing and crowded. There is such a scene because there is a stunning beauty named Li Shishi in Fan Lou.
It is widely rumored in the street that Li Shishi's life experience is quite rough, and he is a very poor man. It turns out that she is not surnamed Li, but the daughter of a dyer in Bianjing. His wife died just after giving birth to Li Shishi. Wang Yin fed the girl with soybean milk instead of milk, which made the girl live-such a clever person with offspring selling soybean milk used this example to flaunt that "drinking soybean milk is smart and beautiful, just like Li Shishi"-which really made people vomit. In order to pray for her daughter's safety, Wang Yin sent her to the temple, and held a ceremony of giving birth to the temple according to local customs. Because the disciples of the living Buddha were called "teachers" in customs, Wang Yin named her "teachers".
When T-T was four years old, Wang Yin was put in prison for dyeing cloth for the imperial court, and later died. T-T became an orphan. Fortunately, she was adopted by Li's mother-in-law Since then, she has been living in, and changed her surname to Li and called Li Shishi. When she grew up, she was not only beautiful in appearance, but also outstanding in skills, and gradually became more and more famous. Later, she became the most famous geisha in Bianjing City. In Tokyo, almost no one doesn't know Fan Lou Li Shishi. Every man thinks that if he sleeps with Li Shishi for one night, he will die willingly. Ordinary women can only make people vent their lust, but Li Shishi's smile and singing together can make people disappear. It happened that Li Shishi is so popular in Tokyo that most people can't see it, so only people who come to the palace can get a glimpse. Occasionally, people who know how to play tricks on books will be treated with special courtesy. Please go to the building to chat! As a result, Tokyo has countless helpless sighs for no reason!
On this day, Qin Shaoyou, a famous college student, came to Fan Lou in the name of a teacher. Li quickly sent someone to invite Li Shishi. Seeing Mr Qin Shaoyou, I couldn't help feeling embarrassed. The teacher can be called gentle and charming, plus the beauty mole between my eyebrows, which is really charming and loved by everyone. There is a lot of understanding between the lines. Needless to say, poetry and songs are all rewarding, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent. The most striking thing is the charming voice of her songs, which has the power to hook people's souls. On a whim, Teacher Qin left a poem praising his beauty for his teacher:
The distant mountains have long eyebrows,
Willow's waist is curled.
Make-up is spring breeze,
A smile is worth a thousand dollars.
When I returned to Fengcheng,
Talking about brothel road.
Looking at the flowers everywhere in Yingchuan,
Not as good as a teacher.
Can you travel less? I never thought that this Li Shishi would become a person who will be immortalized, a person who can live for six generations, and a century history that is extremely difficult to comment on!
Li Shishi herself wouldn't think who would come into her boudoir in the future.
Ying Ge Yanwu handed out a new word to the emperor with a delicate hand.
Day by day passed!
With the passage of time, Li Shishi's life has changed dramatically inadvertently.
On this day, a 40-year-old guest came to Fan Lou, calling himself Zhao Yi, a businessman. This life is as white as jade, personable, and there is an air of ignoring everything in my eyes. Who knows, Song Huizong, the son of heaven, came to see you, calling himself Zhao Yi.
As we all know, Evonne, that is, Emperor Hui Zong of the Great Song Dynasty, is a master who combines poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is both an emperor and an out-and-out romantic genius, and he likes playing with women very much. Although there are countless harem beauties, he also feels boring after a long time. There are still people who please the emperor and instruct him to dress up as a common people and sneak out of the palace to find flowers. There is a eunuch named Johnny. Before entering the palace, she was a prostitute who liked to go in and out of fireworks and Liuxiang. He is very familiar with prostitutes in Bianjing City. He is very familiar with Li Shishi's foster mother. He naturally knew Li Shishi's name, so he told Hui Zong about it.
Hearing this, the emperor was very excited. He immediately prepared a gift for his mother Li, and then took dozens of people traveling incognito to visit the brothel in Li Shishi. Because Li Shishi is a "celebrity", he doesn't pay much attention to customers. Besides, she thinks that even if she sends her mother more money, she is just a nouveau riche who has made some money. No big deal. She just wants my name to appear here, because she is falling for me. Then I am the boss, and I am in charge. If I don't reply, you won't reply. What can you do with me? After Hui Zong bathed and changed clothes, she waited left and right, but no beautiful woman came out. He was impatient and had a bad attack, so he had to wait quietly. Is anxious, suddenly listen to the thin footsteps outside the curtain gently shaking, thin shadow shaking, a very beautiful voice asked:
"Li Ma, are the guests still there?"
It sounds like resentment, like crying, like smoke, like the east wind caressing orchids, getting into the ear and sinking into the bottom of my heart, which is actually unspeakable.
The curtains were long and light, and Li Shishi rushed out of the cold and walked lazily into the room. Hui Zong was stunned when he saw the beautiful woman who had just come out of the bathroom. He really doesn't believe that there are such beautiful women in the world.
When Li Shishi looked at Hui Zong, he suddenly found that this man was very different from ordinary people. He is handsome and has a dignified brow. He was a noble figure, but he couldn't guess the origin of this person after all. Knowing that he was a snub, he knelt down to the piano and sang a song "Wan Li Spring" for Hui Zong:
Thousands of red and green, the cluster will be sunny tomorrow. It's hard not to get drunk in order to pity his fragrance.
What about my love? My heart is in my heart. I look at it and forget the spring breeze. I am not happy. "
Li Shishi's singing skills and piano skills are rarely comparable in Tokyo. After listening to her soft and graceful playing and singing, Zhao Yi was infatuated, as if falling into a dream, unconsciously beating her hands. Song Huizong looked at Li Shishi coquetry, had long forgotten that he was the emperor, so he teased Li Shishi in every way.
Knowing that he was a great man, Li Shishi naturally laid down his means and tried every means to flatter him. But Song Huizong feels fresh and happy. Li Shishi has a quirk. Whenever he comes to her, as long as he knows a little about writing and ink, he will leave a poem. She saw Song Huizong elegant and dignified, and she certainly wouldn't let go. Song Huizong's poems, books and paintings are all the best in ancient and modern times. At this moment, he was in a good mood and wrote with his unique "thin gold body" calligraphy:
Shallow wine is in front of people, surrounded by nephrite lamps. In retrospect, it is always affectionate. Pain, pain, gently pushed Lang away, and gradually heard her voice trembling and slightly red.
Try to change the vertical direction, there is no seam at all. This time, the taste was abrupt and touching, with arms touching, lips touching and tongues touching.
In the morning, the emperor untied the ribbon of dragon and phoenix and gave it to the teacher as a token of love. Because Huizong was going to the early morning, he hurried to say goodbye at dusk. -This day is August 17th, the third year of Hui Zong Grand View.
Ribbon in his hand, and then look at the thin golden body of drizzly wine. Li Shishi was stunned by the fact that it was the emperor who shared the bed with him last night, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. But then I thought, "since the emperor is willing to come to see me, he certainly won't have the heart to kill me." Moreover, he sympathized with me that night and didn't impose it on me, which showed that he loved me. If one day he really kills me, everyone knows that it was the emperor's debauchery that damaged his prestige. This is his most taboo, so he will never hurt us. "
Although the story came to light, Hui Zong didn't do anything to her. In January of the following year, the emperor sent someone to send a famous piano to Li Shishi, and also sent money to Mother Li. In March, the emperor changed his clothes, went to a brothel incognito, shared a room with Li Shishi, and named the small building where she lived "Drunken Apricot Building".
There are also rumors in the palace that the emperor and Li Shishi have secret contacts. Empress Zheng advised the emperor: "Although prostitutes are gorgeous, they are from humble origins. When they visit the Qin tombs, it is inevitable that they will be infected with willow leaf disease. What if the holy family is polluted? " Besides, the emperor, as the king of a country, is a table for ten thousand people, which is widely circulated among the people. Why is it forbidden? Besides, the holy family often goes out casually in the middle of the night, even if there are bodyguards, it is difficult to be sure, in case ... "The emperor heard this and felt reasonable, so he didn't go to Li Shishi again within a year, but secretly sent someone to give her a gift, but he never stopped.
Emperor Zong Wei once said that no one in the harem can compare with Li Shishi in talent, appearance and personality. Talking about Li Shishi when chatting with the Queen's concubines, he made a metaphor for the reason why he loved her: "If you choose one hundred people from your concubines, remove the hairpin jewelry, put on plain makeup, make her dress the same, and mix them together.
So, I didn't see Li Shishi for a year, and finally in the second year of Xuanhe, the emperor cheated the harem concubines and sneaked out to have a tryst with Li Shishi. Because this kind of escape is inconvenient after all, Johnny put forward another plan: secretly dig a tunnel next to the palace to lead to the brothel, so that outsiders can not easily detect the behavior of the holy family and ensure the safety of the holy family. As a result, the area around the palace was listed as a forbidden area, as a forbidden area for the body guard, while the underground tunnel led directly to Li Shishi's door, and Hui Zong often passed through the tunnel to have a tryst with Li Shishi.
It is rare for a geisha to win the favor of the supreme ruler of a country.
Hui Zong likes being a teacher, but he didn't take the teacher to the palace, because he was the emperor, the ruler and the spokesman of the feudal ruling class. In front of him is a full court of civil servants, followed by six palaces and concubines, with seven halls and seven sects above, and a prince and grandson below. It is impossible for him to personally challenge the feudal law, even if he is powerless.
Hui Zong is one of the most incompetent rulers in China. He is partial to Cai Zhong and Tong Guan. During his reign, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out He was a decadent and corrupt emperor for 25 years. Under his rule, the Northern Song Dynasty imperial court was gone forever and finally died in the humiliating wave of prisoners. Zong Wei likes poetry and has high attainments in literature and art. Like Li Houzhu, he is naive. Although his poems were mediocre and did not leave peerless poems like Li Houzhu's, they also contributed to the prosperity of literature and art in the Northern Song Dynasty.
As a representative of officialdom culture, he abandoned military affairs and ignored them, but he was addicted to Li Shishi's soft jade and gentle fragrance, which itself was a symbol of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. Li Shishi, as a lower class woman, naturally did not dare to have any objection to the emperor who was the ruler of the dynasty, so she could only "strange bedfellows" with him.
Li Shishi's grief began with the arrival of Hui Zong.
Just imagine, which emperor's favorite woman dares to eat Xiong Xin leopard gall to provoke?
At that time, there was another woman who shook the ancient and modern times, that is, Li Qingzhao, who was known as a graceful poet. Her first poem, Remembering the Flute on the Phoenix Terrace, which was written in extreme grief, was well-known in Beijing, and people sang her "How many things I want to say". New arrivals are thin, not dry wine, not sad autumn. ""Only the running water in front of the building misses me and stares at me all day ... "
(3) Li Shishi gaiden.
Li Shishi was originally the daughter of Wang Yin, a dyer in Bianjing, Northern Song Dynasty. At the age of 4, his parents died and he was adopted by Li Lao, a prostitute. The dragon, color and art are unique. Introduced by Johnny, the attendant, he made friends with Song Huizong, who pretended to be a big businessman Zhao Yi, and got a lot of food for gold and silver. After abdicating, the teacher used the gold and silver he gave to the government as salary to fight against the Golden Man, and bribed Johnny to ask for permission to become a monk. Soon, the Jin people captured Bianjing, and the traitor Zhang Bangchang gave her to the commander-in-chief of the Jin people to please his master. The teacher condemned the swallowing of gold and died.
This novel is different from most legends in Song Dynasty. It is not a historical story but a contemporary realistic theme. It describes the luxury, debauchery and loss of government in Song Huizong. It depicts Johnny's ugly face trying to flatter the people regardless of their lives. In particular, it created an image of a prostitute who had always been considered to be in a low position but generously donated money to fight against the invaders, showing great righteousness in front of the enemy, which undoubtedly had profound irony and critical significance for the capitulators who betrayed the country and sought glory at that time. Its rigorous structure, elegant language and delicate description are rare masterpieces in the legends of Song people.
There are anecdotes about Li Shishi in Zhang's Boudoir Collection and Xuanhe Legacy. Later, The Water Margin also narrated this story according to these records and legends.
abstract
Li Shishi (1090-1 129), a prostitute in a brothel in the late Northern Song Dynasty, was born in Tokyo (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province). More common in unofficial history, note novels. It is said that Li Shishi was deeply loved by Song Huizong, and her husband, Zhou Bangyan, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, even had an affair with Yan Qing in Water Margin. It is said that he loved Yan Qing. Thus, his deeds are legendary, which indirectly proves that Li Shishi's talent and looks are very comparable.
Li Shishi, a famous prostitute in Bianjing, is the object of contention among scholars and descendants. She is quite famous among officials, and the story of her and Song Huizong is also a much-told story. Even Song Huizong wants to establish a good relationship with her when she hears her name. Gao Qiu and Wang Fu naturally encouraged Song Huizong and vowed not to leak the news.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong was exiled, and the whereabouts of Li Shishi became an eternal mystery.
