The woman who captivated the country and the city was Mrs. Li, the beloved concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I believe everyone is familiar with "Shen Yu Luo Yan" and "Leng Yue Shao Hua". They respectively describe the four beauties in ancient China: Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Yang Yuhuan.
Mrs. Li was born in an ordinary civilian family. Her parents and brothers They are all proficient in music and are all artists who make music and dance their profession. Mrs. Li's brother Li Yannian was castrated for breaking the law, and then took up the position of raising dogs in the palace. Li Yannian was favored by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty because he was good at music, singing and dancing. Every time he sang a new work, the audience was moved. Li Yannian danced with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and sang: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, with peerless grace and elegance. She can overturn a city with a single look back, and can overturn a country with a second look. Don't you know the disaster of a beautiful city and a country, just because a beautiful woman is hard to find again!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed and said: "Okay! Is there really such a beauty in the world?" Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Li Yannian's sister Li Shan was good at dancing. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Mrs. Li. After meeting Mrs. Li, he found that she was indeed beautiful and good at dancing, and he was very happy. He liked her and made her his concubine. From then on, Mrs. Li gained the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and gave birth to a son for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, namely Liu Kun, King Ai of Changyi.
Later, Mrs. Li was seriously ill, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to visit her in person. Mrs. Li was covered with a quilt and said goodbye: "I have been ill for a long time and my face is haggard. I cannot see your Majesty. I hope you can entrust your son and brothers to your care." To Your Majesty. "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "My wife is seriously ill and may not recover. Wouldn't it be nice for me to meet you and take care of my future affairs?" Mrs. Li said: "My wife has not modified her appearance, so I cannot see my concubine. Dare to meet His Majesty with a scornful attitude." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, "If Madam meets me, I will give you a thousand gold reward and grant your brother a distinguished official position." Mrs. Li said, "It depends on whether you will be granted an honorable position or not." Your Majesty, it's not about meeting my concubine." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still insisted on seeing her, so Mrs. Li turned away, sighed and cried, and stopped talking. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got up and left unhappy.
? It really proves that sentence, meeting is worse than missing. Mrs. Li did not meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty until her death, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would never forget her. After Mrs. Li died, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty buried her with the honor of the Queen Mother. .
Not only did he make his younger brother Li Guangli the general of the Second Division and give him important responsibilities, he also hung Mrs. Li's portrait in Ganquan Palace and summoned Mrs. Li's soul many times! Before he died, he told Huo Guang that Mrs. Li should be worthy of the sacrifice and was posthumously named Queen Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty!
