When Zhou Bangyan was in his twenties, he wrote an article entitled "Bian Jing Fu", which was dedicated to the emperor. His talent was appreciated by Song Shenzong, and he was promoted directly from a business school student to a business school, which was envied by others. After Song Shenzong's death, Zhou Bangyan was banished to other places as an official and served as a local official.
No matter where he is, Zhou Bangyan never forgets to engage in his own literary creation. He learned from others' wisdom, with the beauty of literature, elegance of Wei Zhuang, and profundity. He also inherited Liu Yong and Qin Guan's ci style, created the metrical ci school, and was known as the master of graceful and restrained school. From this point of view, he has made great contributions to the development of graceful words.
Song Huizong's talent is also very high, even known as a rare artistic genius in ancient times. His calligraphy, painting and temperament are excellent. Many people think that Song Huizong is not fit to be an emperor, and there is nothing he is not fit to do. This is absolutely correct. Song Huizong, who is full of artistic cells, appreciates those talented people very much, which is also the reason why Zhou Bangyan was transferred to Beijing from other places.
After coming to Beijing, I got to know Li Shishi, who is famous in Beijing by chance. Li Shishi likes Zhou Bangyan very much. He is knowledgeable and charming. They will be together soon, but they can only date in private and in public. After all, Song Huizong often comes to Li Shishi. One day, Zhou Bangyan heard that the emperor was ill, and thought that he must rest in the palace today, so he immediately went to Li Shishi's house.
To Zhou Bangyan's surprise, while he was chatting with Li Shishi in the room, Song Huizong suddenly came over. He had to hide in the cupboard and listen to the dialogue between the emperor and his sweetheart. After Song Huizong left, Zhou Bangyan recalled what had just happened and found it very interesting. He wrote a poem "Youth Swimming and Knives Like Water". Because Li Shishi inadvertently read this sentence to the emperor, Song Huizong was so angry that he guessed the relationship between Zhou Bangyan and Li Shishi and ordered Zhou Bangyan to be expelled from the capital.
If it is another emperor, Zhou Bangyan will never be demoted as simple as that, and his head will move in minutes. Before leaving, Zhou Bangyan and Li Shishi reluctantly filled in a poem named "Warrior Lanling Willow" with tears in their eyes, including a few words: "I miss the bright moon and pavilions hand in hand, show bridges and smell flutes. Meditation on the past is like a dream with dark tears. "
After seeing Song Huizong, Li Shishi has been moping and his eyes are swollen with tears. Song Huizong is very sad, so he asked him if he sent Zhang Bangyan. Li Shishi nodded and sang "Warrior Lanling Liu" to the emperor. Upon hearing this, Song Huizong felt that Zhou Bangyan was a rare talent. If he is exiled to other places like this, his talent will be buried. Therefore, Zhou Bangyan was not only pardoned, but also promoted to be the head of Sheng Da House (the highest music department in the imperial court at that time).
