The origin story of MILFs
----------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Xu Zhaopei was a Liang of the Southern Dynasties The partial concubine of Xiao Yi, the seventh son of Emperor Wu. Xiao Yi was the king of eastern Hunan at the time and guarded Jiangling with heavy troops.
Xu Zhaopei is a very active woman in Jiangling, where butterflies are flying towards the forest, red flowers are scattered in the wind, flowers and butterflies are not resting, and red flowers are still confused.
The allusion of "a MILF is still charming even when she is old" comes from her.
Xiao Yi, the king of eastern Hunan, loved literature since he was a child, but had no interest in politics. Influenced by his father, he wore common clothes and ate only coarse beans and lamb grains.
When Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty set up a scholar's hall in the west of Jiankang City and gathered scholars to give lectures, Xiao Yi was also on the beautiful riverside, discussing mysteries with literati every day.
Xu Zhaopei is beautiful, smart, and good at poetry. She is in her prime, and with her passionate nature, she is in need of love and pity.
Although she is dressed up every day, But she still couldn't arouse Xiao Yi's emotions. For this reason, she felt depressed and unhappy.
She didn't know how to deal with herself?
The most direct way is to accept her husband's lifestyle and try to get into her husband's circle of interests, so she changed
from her normal routine and went to attend her husband's poetry show with light makeup and no makeup. During drinking parties, she often interacted with Xiao Yi's literary friends, which enabled her spiritual realm and emotional life to develop and relax to a considerable extent.
Although her beauty and talent have been objectively recognized by the people, Xiao Yi is still unmoved at all,
So Xu Zhaopei is even more excited about her A strong medicine is used in the couple's life, and they deliberately only put on half of their faces when putting on makeup, which is sometimes called "half-face makeup".
A woman puts on powder, rouge, and lipstick to only cover half of her face. Think about what that looks like. Not only is it bad
it is trampling on her own beauty, but she is also intentionally mistreating her. other people's vision. Xu Zhaopei wanted to use this to vent her anger and injustice, and even use it to humiliate Xiao Yi.
The maids were afraid that Concubine Xu’s cruel move would offend the prince and even lead to terrible consequences in anger
But Xu Zhaopei asked the maids to be at ease. She said: "The prince and his son are benevolent, righteous, and moral. They will never burn the piano and cook the crane for such a trivial matter. At most, they will be expelled." Out of sight, out of mind at the palace meeting. That's fine. Instead of maintaining a married life in name only, it would be better to choose someone else to marry." Who knows that Xiao Yi's cultivation has indeed reached the point of perfection. ,
Although he knew clearly that Xu Zhaopei wanted to make him angry deliberately, he turned a blind eye, as if nothing had happened.
Several more years passed like this.
At that time, Emperor Wu of Liang became emperor on the grounds that "Heaven's will cannot be violated and the human heart cannot be lost" and destroyed the Southern Qi Dynasty. He also began to pay attention to
governing, observing politics, listening to rumors, and visiting If the virtuous people are stagnant, they should stop playing women's music. In particular, they are frugal and live in simple food and clothing. In order to listen to the people's sentiments, they also set up lung stones near the wood so that the sentiments of the people can reach the top, so there is a peaceful atmosphere everywhere. But his biggest weakness is his belief in Buddhism. It is said that the scars on monks’ heads today originated from Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk three times.
He was redeemed three times and became emperor again. In addition to chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name every day, he often went to Tongtai Temple to give lectures on sutras and sermons, often day and night.
He gave lectures continuously. It took seven or eight days to come to an end. At that time, the number of monks and nuns in the country was only about half of the country's population, and there were more than 500 Buddhist temples in Jiankang alone. Emperor Wu of Liang never had the ambition to unify China and clarify the world. State affairs were mostly mere formalities, and eventually led to the Hou Jing Rebellion.
Hou Jing was originally the governor of the Central Plains region of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the Northern Dynasty. Because of a rift with Gao Cheng, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he came to surrender in Henan.
This was originally a good thing, but Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty repeatedly turned the villain Hou Jing against the Liang Dynasty and started to rebel against the Liang Dynasty
Emperor Wu also said shamelessly: "What can you do? I broke my whip to answer it." But soon Jiankang was defeated, and Emperor Liang Wu died in confinement.
After the Hou Jing Rebellion was settled, Xiao Yi ascended the throne in Jiangling, changed his title to Chengsheng, and became Emperor Yuan of Liang. Xu Zhaopei was canonized as a noble concubine
. However, Xiao Yi still did not change his habit. He still enjoyed reading and writing, and frequently taught Lao and Zhuang's Taoist scriptures to civil and military officials without getting tired of it for a long time. Xu Zhaopei was still lonely in the palace and her youth was wasted. At this time, she was almost 40 years old.
Xiao Yi disdained the beauties in the harem, so the people in the palace were looking for a way out for their emotions. Xu Zhaopei finally couldn't hold back under the trend of the times.
She found Ji Jiang, a handsome young man with handsome features and elegant manners. At first, he was secretive
Historical, but later he actually communicated openly. Whenever Xiao Yi discussed the ways of Lao and Zhuang with the ministers in Longguang Palace, it was Xu Gui
When the concubine and Ji Jijiang were enjoying themselves in the inner garden of the palace.
Someone once jokingly asked Ji Jijiang: "How does it taste?" Ji Jijiang answered without any reservations: "Mrs. Xu is old, and she is still sentimental." Or he replied: ' 'Although Xu Niang is old, her charm is still there! "Later generations described the charm of middle-aged women as undiminished.
It is often said: "The charm of a middle-aged woman is still there. "That's where it comes from.
Ji Ji Jiang's frivolous words soon reached the ears of Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan. The strange thing was that he remained indifferent, and everyone around
He was furious, but there was nothing he could do;
Emperor Liang Yuan stayed in Jiangling for a long time without returning Jiankang, which caused panic in the Western Wei Dynasty, which bordered Liang State, because Jiangling was close to the Western Wei Dynasty
, thinking that Xiao Yi was going to attack the Western Wei Dynasty, so he urgently organized his army and prepared to send troops to Jiangling. According to the estimation of the Western Wei Dynasty:
It was the best strategy for Emperor Liang Yuan Xiao Yi to leap over to Miannan and return to Jiankang; retreat. It is the middle strategy to protect Zicheng and keep the spies waiting for reinforcements. If it is difficult to move, it is the next best strategy to defend Jiangling. After careful deployment, General Jin of the Western Wei Dynasty led 50,000 troops to pursue Jiangling.
Ling.
In fact, the emperor doesn’t even love his wife, and he won’t even be jealous if his wife steals someone. How can he know the best, middle, and worst strategies?
Strategy, he was purely immersed in the ways of Lao and Zhuang. When the Western Wei army besieged Jiangling, he even gathered all officials to discuss the ways of Lao and Zhuang. When the enemy troops were in a hurry to attack the city, he climbed to the city to take a close look at the enemy's situation. , I wrote a poem in return, and there were actually some people among the ministers who sang the peace.
People couldn't help but sigh. Ancient and modern
With more than 140,000 volumes of books, he used his sword to hit the bamboo pillars wildly, looking up to the sky and sighing: "The way of civility and martial arts is over tonight!" "
What about Xu Zhaopei? She hugged her lover Ji Jiang tightly in the harem. She thought that the sea would die and the stone would fall, but her love would not change.
Unexpectedly, Ji Jiang heard that the capital had been captured. , at this critical moment, she broke away from her lover's embrace without any hesitation, and fled without a trace. Xu Zhaopei was so sad that she burst into tears. Just when Xiao Yi came to her side, Xu Zhaopei went crazy.
Hug her emperor husband; it was regret, help, and indescribable feelings that came to her heart. She shook Emperor Liang Yuan desperately.
After a long time, Liang Yi. Emperor Yuan Xiao Yi asked coldly: "Where is that person? "'Xu Zhaopei was speechless. Xiao Yiwei
said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, what else can we do? ”
Xu Zhaopei’s heart was broken and her tears dried up. When the morning rooster sang and Wei soldiers entered the city in large numbers, he hanged himself under the grape tree in the palace garden.
p>Since the founding of the country by Xiao Yan, the Liang Dynasty has advocated Buddhism and Confucianism. The most important feature in history is the prosperity of literature, such as Emperor Wu of Liang's "Song of Water in the River" and "Lin". Gaotai, Jiangnan Lane, Ziye Song, etc. are all talked about by people. His eldest son Xiao Tong, the prince of Zhaoming, often said: "Landscapes have clear sounds, so why bother with silk and bamboo." "Now
The selected works of Zhaoming that we often read are the essence of the articles he left for us.
Others such as Shen Yue's "The Theory of Eight Echoes
Diseases", Liu Xie's "The Literary Mind Diaolong", and Zhong Rong's poems all occupy an immortal position in the history of Chinese literature.
