Li Qingzhao was born in a scholarly family and was influenced by her family since childhood. No wonder her literature is so good. Li Qingzhao was carefree in her girlhood and later married Zhao Mingcheng, a great scholar. They are all harpists and singers. Besides, both of them have hobbies in epigraphy and ancient books, and they have a good life.
However, all these wonderful things disappeared with the death of Zhao Mingcheng, and Li Qingzhao's later life also fell into misery. Now I will walk into Li Qingzhao's miserable old age with you Shujun.
First, Zhao Mingcheng died, and Li Qingzhao lived a wandering life at first in her later years.
Zhao Mingcheng's death coincided with the change of Jingkang. The Jin people invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, and the court in the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed.
Zhao Mingcheng died, and Li Qingzhao was left alone. In order to protect the collection she collected with Zhao Mingcheng, she defected to her younger brother Li Wei, who was an imperial adviser in the Imperial edict bureau.
So she followed Song Gaozong with her younger brother and began to flee to the south.
Although I followed my brother all the way, I was taken care of by him. But my brother also has his own family and has to go to work. Song Gaozong is the main object of her brother's care.
At this time, Li Qingzhao was nearly fifty years old. Actually, she basically takes care of herself. She not only brought many household items, but also brought many cultural relics.
The key point is that Song Gaozong's route is to go to the sea for a while, then turn to land after crossing the sea. And the land is impassable and the sea is occupied. Li Qingzhao also took the route of Song Gaozong at this time, and the land and sea changed back and forth.
Such a journey is actually very difficult for Li Qingzhao.
Especially in the case of underdeveloped traffic in ancient times, in order to catch up with Song Gaozong's team, Li Qingzhao threw away all her clothes and bedding. But there is one thing she hasn't thrown away, and that is to regard it as a cultural relic of life.
In this way, Li Qingzhao took her cultural relics with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and experienced a fugitive life for more than a year. It's really hard to escape all the way down. It's not easy.
Second, Li Qingzhao entered the wrong marriage in her later years and was jailed.
This wandering life gave Li Qingzhao a cruel torture. Li Qingzhao is a little impatient at this time. She felt so lonely and helpless.
At this time, a person walked into Li Qingzhao's life, and he was Zhang Ruzhou. Zhang Ruzhou missed Li Qingzhao's treasure for a long time, so he took special care of Li Qingzhao.
Because of the hardships and helplessness of drifting, Li Qingzhao also wants to find someone to rely on. It happened that Zhang Ruzhou showed her kindness everywhere, so Li Qingzhao married Zhang Ruzhou.
But who would have thought that after Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruzhou got married, Zhang Ruzhou found that Li Qingzhao didn't have much property, and then his evil face was exposed.
After Li Qingzhao got married, she found herself cheated. She found that Zhang Ruzhou was not only inferior to Zhao Mingcheng in knowledge and accomplishment, but also had poor personal morality. She is so sad and desperate that she wants to get along with such people.
In a letter to Qin Chongli, Li Qingzhao said that Zhang Ruzhou and I are basically two kinds of people and can't get along. I really regret that I am old and betrothed my innocence to such a dirty and dirty philistine. I really don't want to get along with him anymore. I won't leave him again. He has been staring at my precious cultural relics and will kill me one day.
This is the state of Li Qingzhao after marriage. Zhang Ruzhou punched and kicked Li Qingzhao every day for the preservation of cultural relics. Even rose to the point of life-threatening. Li Qingzhao is disgusted to see his face every day, but she can't escape, and she has to bear the domestic violence of Zhang Ruzhou.
At this time, Li Qingzhao discovered that Zhang Ruzhou cheated for personal gain, falsely reported the number of candidates and defrauded the official position. So without thinking, Li Qingzhao reported him to the authorities and asked for a divorce.
After investigation by the government, Zhang Ruzhou did have these behaviors, so Zhang Ruzhou was expelled and exiled to Liuzhou. Although Li Qingzhao was allowed to divorce Zhang Ruzhou, according to the law of Song Dynasty, a wife who sued her husband was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. In this way, Li Qingzhao fell into prison again.
There is no way. This is the law of the Great Song Dynasty. After the divorce, Li Qingzhao went to prison again and began a miserable life in prison.
A lofty poetess met different people in her later years and was jailed. The occurrence of this series of events has really dealt a great blow to Li Qingzhao, and Li Qingzhao's old age is really difficult.
Thirdly, Li Qingzhao spent her old age alone.
