When dreams and reality parted ways, stand on the noisy historical stage, inquire about the surging clouds and listen to the footsteps of the sages. As giants in the history of China, Qu Zi, Sima Qian, Li Bai and Yue Fei walked out of different dreams. When dreams and reality go their separate ways, where do they go? Walking out of the long historical tunnel, Qu Zi, with awe-inspiring righteousness, a beautiful dream and full of talent in poetry and calligraphy, displayed his ambition in the smoky Chu State. In order to dream, you go straight on the right path and do your best. However, a group of flies and dogs are willing to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain and slander a gentleman with the words of a villain-you are alienated by Chu Huaiwang. Thus, dreams and reality met in a smoky atmosphere. Your lofty sentiments and beautiful dreams hit the cold iron wall. In order to dream, you fight for trapped animals in a narrow dungeon. When the dream meets the reality, you would rather be shattered than be covered with worldly warmth. However, if you die, you can be conscious; Born, but can practice ambition. At the peak of history, Sima Qian stood upright. When you are writing hard, your dream and reality meet in prison. Under the dim oil lamp, you think hard day and night, wandering between your father's legacy and the shame of castration. Finally, a firm dream overcame the hardships of reality. So, you wiped off the lamp oil on your hand, dusted off the clothes, re-mentioned the wolf hair full of thick ink, and realized your dream, writing the swan song of the historian, Li Sao without rhyme. Sima Qian wrote a hymn of life with Historical Records, while Li Bai explained his dream with poems. "Laughing in the sky and going out, are we Artemisia people?" Li Bai stood on the streets of Chang 'an, where the wine is flying, singing with the dream of being successful in my official career: "oh, how can I gravely bow and scrape to men of high rank and men of high office, who never will suffer being shown an honest-hearted face" Although there are imperial ladies grinding in the court that ten thousand people yearn for, Lux takes off his boots, but the dirty officialdom has drowned your talent. In the smoky capital, there is nowhere to display your talents, so you can only write a poem that says "the clouds want clothes and flowers to be compatible, and the spring breeze blows the threshold and the flowers are thick" for people to enjoy and win the favor of others. When the dream meets the reality, you have to wave a wolf's howl in the resplendent palace, and use "how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return" to yearn for the beauty of green mountains and green waters and the freedom of the mountains and wilderness. "I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when she is gone." With the wine, your dream is like a wisp of smoke, drifting towards the magnificent rivers and mountains that are integrated with you. When the land of China was shaking, there was a voice that shouted loudly in the dark sky and the torrent of the universe, echoing the majestic momentum of shaking the sea, and that was the echo of the dream of Yue Fei, an anti-gold hero. You are like a bright star in the sunset, illuminating the hearts of the people in the midst of the people's misery and internal troubles and foreign invasion. Bright armor, inside is your great ambition to serve the country faithfully, sharp-edged and sharp-edged, and in the middle is your dream of cleaning up old mountains and rivers. So, you thirst for the blood of the knife head and sleep on the saddle bridge. You strategized on the battlefield, but you didn't notice that the sky behind you was getting darker and darker. Finally, one day, twelve gold medals are like a hook, which hooks you from the wings of your dreams-your dreams meet reality. Last night, it was too cold to stop singing. I was shocked back to a dream of a thousand miles, got up and walked around the steps alone, people were quiet, and the moon was hazy outside the window. " When the dream meets the reality, you choose loyalty and filial piety and silently swallow the unwarranted charges. In the vast river, there are the poor Du Er, who "has a vast expanse of buildings, and all the poor people in the world are happy", the melancholy Xin Qiji, who "has put an end to the king's world and won his fame before his death", and the tragic Xiang Yu, who "has pulled out the mountains and made great efforts to overcome the world, but when it is unfavorable, he will never die" ... They all had beautiful dreams, but they all met with dark environments and dreams. When dreams and reality meet, some people choose to be determined by death, some choose to bear the burden of humiliation, some choose to be happy with the situation, and others choose to be loyal to the monarch. And I will spread my dream wings and fly to that distant destination!
My favorite historical figure, Emperor Chongzhen, first came into contact with Chongzhen in Yao Xueyin's historical novel Li Zicheng. In the novel, Li Zicheng was quite beautified for historical reasons, but I never liked this person. On the contrary, I was very interested in the villain Emperor Chongzhen in the book. In the first and second volumes of the novel, Chongzhen was deliberately vilified. In the third, fourth and fifth volumes, due to historical reasons, the style of writing was open and open. Later, I bought several books of Li Zicheng, which was originally my love for the character. I was just in junior high school. In history, Chongzhen was a very complicated emperor. Some people said he was mean, but all the ministers he killed had good reasons. He attached great importance to family ties, wept over his mother's portrait, sighed at his brother's carpenter's work, and said, "This is because of the spirit." Then he ordered his men to put them away. His uncle Fu Wang was killed by Li Zicheng: "Fu Wang was killed, and the emperor heard that his robe and sleeves were all wet." From these records, we can see the other side of Chongzhen. He is mean, but he is too kind to other emperors. On personal matters, he and his uncle can't have any feelings; On the public, Fu Wang is rich in capital but unable to raise a scholar. When things are urgent, he can't disperse wealth and recruit soldiers to share the worries for the country, and turn to the enemy with huge capital. A pro-vassal like this deserves to die. Chongzhen actually "had his robe sleeves wet" and "dropped out of the court", and gave a gift of "Fu Fan Shi Zi" as solatium in the name of the queen, concubines and prince. In September of the 16th year of Chongzhen, when Chongzhen interrogated eight officials sent to various places by Li Zicheng captured by Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, most of them were from Jingzhou. He was puzzled: "Why are Jingzhou people good thieves?" These people replied: "Jingzhou was broken in December last year, and everyone is a thief!" Chongzhen was so surprised that he asked his uncle, "Where is Huiwang?" A: "Go first, I don't know." Hearing this, Chongzhen burst into tears and knocked down Yu's inner palace several times. Some people say that Chongzhen is suspicious, but from the handling of Zu Dashou's surrender, we can't see the shadow of suspicion. In the battle of Daling River in Chongzhen for four years, Zu Dashou was surrounded by Huang Taiji, and he killed his lieutenant He Kegang to surrender in order to save his life. But his wife was still in Jinzhou, so he promised Huang Taiji that when he returned to Jinzhou, Jinzhou City would be offered from the outside. As soon as the emperor wanted his ancestors' sons and nephews to be hostages, he let them go back, but they never came back. Maybe my conscience was discovered when I went back, but many soldiers ran back from the Zu Dashou camp. They reported to Qiu Jiahe, the then governor of Liaodong, the story of Zu's surrender. Qiu therefore played Emperor Chongzhen in secret, but Chongzhen was afraid that Zu's family really surrendered. In addition to strengthening surveillance on Zu, he continued to use him until 15 years of Chongzhen, when Zu Dashou was besieged in Jinzhou for more than a year and was forced to surrender to Huang Taiji. According to historical records, Chongzhen was headstrong, but from the two very important decisions of "moving south" and "negotiating peace" with the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen was forced to compromise with the civilian group, and later facts proved that Chongzhen's idea was correct. Where is his headstrong? In recent years, the description of Chongzhen has been demonized. I hope someone can restore a flesh-and-blood emperor. I am most interested in this period of history in the late Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen is my favorite emperor.
