In 742 AD, when Li Bai was 42 years old, he was summoned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. From then on, he embarked on his official career and became a royal scholar of Tang Xuanzong. In 743, the following year, Li Bai began to get tired of this day. Who made a trip to "the fairy in the wine" with, and Xuanzong called it out; It has reached the point where Xuanzong called him and he didn't come. Then he drinks every day and often drafts letters for Tang Xuanzong when he is drunk. Slowly, Tang Xuanzong began to alienate him.
In 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Li Bai and his wife fled all the way to the south. Later, I heard that Luoyang was captured by the rebels and the land of the Central Plains was eroded. Later, I lived directly in Lushan Mountain.
Two years later, in 757 AD, Li Bai went to the military camp in Liling, Wang Yong. At that time, Li Lindong traveled eastward, knowing that Li Bai lived in Lushan Mountain in seclusion, and went to the next letter of appointment several times to hire him into the shogunate; After several hesitations, Li Bai went to the Wang Yong shogunate.
Who is this eternal king?
Li Lin is the sixteenth son of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. His mother died young and was raised by his brother Hengli. He was clever and wise when he was young. Then he was made king forever.
In the first year of Zhide, in 756 AD, An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, calling himself the Great Yan Emperor. At that time, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Wang Yong was conferred as the four ambassadors of Shannan, Jiangxi, Lingnan and Qianzhong, commanding the governor of Jiangling and guarding Jiangling.
After An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, Wang Yong came up with the idea of separatist regime in Jiangdong. It was only in 757 AD that he took the liberty to patrol the East. Li Bai has become famous all over the world, so he hired him down the mountain again and again.
At that time, Tang Suzong Hengli was in power, that is, the third son of Li Longji, the third son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Lin's younger brother. Hengli saw that An Lushan, the thief outside, had not been removed. You, a domestic thief, showed up and sent troops to encircle Li Lin. Li Linbing fled to the south in defeat and was captured and killed by Huang Fu, an interviewer from Jiangxi.
Li Lin was defeated. How can Li Bai of the shogunate come to a good end? He was sentenced to exile by the court and exiled to Yelang (now Tongzi, Guizhou); It is estimated that it is also because Li Bai is famous, otherwise he may be beheaded directly.
In the second year of Gan Yuan, that is, in 759 AD, it coincided with the drought in Guanzhong, and the court announced an amnesty. I hope I can get mercy and rain from heaven.
This Amnesty was changed from the original death penalty to exile, and all the exiles were pardoned; Li Bai was exiled, so he was directly pardoned; Li Bai, who regained his freedom, flew down the Yangtze River at that time.
It was at this time that he wrote "Early Sending Baidicheng" in the primary school Chinese textbook, which directly reflected his mood at that time.
Two years later, Li Bai returned to Jinling because of illness, but his life was very difficult, so he went to his uncle Li. The following year, in 762 AD, Li Bai was seriously ill and gave the manuscript to his uncle Li.
