Wuyou read this poem, and many people couldn't help but laugh.

But some people are confused and don’t quite know what it means.

The general meaning of the poem is clear. It is about the beauty of Concubine Ming. She is so beautiful that the king can't control it. She is so beautiful that she has almost never seen it in his life. However, this Concubine Ming is very good-looking and has long hair. What's the matter?Why did you want to kill Mao Yanshou?
Shoubao seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but in fact he had been listening.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoyou, what does your poem mean?"

Wuyou laughed and said, "Concubine Ming refers to Wang Zhaojun. It is said that the officials in the Han Dynasty were corrupt to the extent that they even asked the palace painter to paint with gifts. Otherwise, there is no hope for him to paint well. This king When Zhaojun entered the palace, he happened to meet Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty selecting beauties. Many people gave the painter precious gifts such as gold, silver, jade, etc. The painter wanted to paint five-thirds of their beauty, but Wang Zhaojun did not. As a gift, a painter named Mao Yanshou painted her a portrait at that time. Because there was no gift to receive, Mao Yanshou was very angry and deliberately painted Wang Zhaojun in an ugly way..."

Shoubao interjected when he heard this: "Then he must not have been chosen."

Nodding worry-free.

Shoubao complained: "The emperor is so stupid."

Uh?
Wuyou was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by this?"

Emperor Han Yuan, who had been looking at the sky, was stunned for a moment, and then anger rose in his chest.

It's really hateful that a little monster dares to call him a majestic emperor.

However, although he was angry, he did not dare to show it at all, for fear that the fairy in the sky would watch and embarrass him.

"Isn't he just stupid?" Shoubao raised his head, his eyes looked pure and clear, but it also made people think that his eyes could see through people's hearts: "There are so many big and small demons under my father's throne. What are they thinking? I know whoever has their evil thoughts. My father said that if you know, you will know, but don’t show it. He also said that no matter whether they are humans or monsters, they all have selfish motives. It doesn’t matter if they have selfish motives, as long as they do their job well. Just don’t betray.”

Wuyou nodded: "What your father said makes sense. If the water is clear, there will be no fish."

Shoubao smiled: "The Han Yuan Emperor is still an emperor. Doesn't he know that the government is corrupt? Since he knows that the people under his command are unreliable, why shouldn't he choose his wife himself? Why do he have to have her portrait drawn and presented to her? Again? It's not just a matter of living in the same palace thousands of miles apart and letting the maids walk a few more steps, it also requires an extra procedure, which is troublesome and easy to be fooled."

What he said is such that people don’t know what to say.

Wuyou touched Shoubao's head: "You are quite smart."

Shoubao was very arrogant: "That's natural."

Emperor Han Yuan:...

Now that his anger had completely dissipated, he thought about what the little fox demon said. It really made sense. Why did he have to draw a portrait and present it when he could clearly call the person in front of him and choose it personally?It seems like he really is a bit stupid.

Wuyou patted Shoubao and said: "As you said, Wang Zhaojun naturally lost the election. She stayed in the palace for many years and had no chance of getting ahead. It just so happened that the Han Dynasty was about to send someone to the Huns for marriage and let the palace maid They signed up. Wang Zhaojun didn't want to die of old age in the palace, so he signed up, and she was chosen. Before the marriage, Wang Zhaojun paid a visit to Emperor Han Yuan. Emperor Han Yuan was surprised to find that there was such a beautiful woman in the harem. I never knew... Looking back, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty dug out the portrait and found that the painter's painting was unrealistic. He was obviously very beautiful, but not even seven points of it was painted. He killed the painter Mao Yanshou in a fit of anger. "

Wuyou smiled and said: "And this poem is about Wang Zhaojun's beauty that can never be painted. It's no wonder that Mao Yanshou was killed. Mao Yanshou was unjustly killed."

"Oh." Shoubao nodded and said, "This is a writing technique to describe how beautiful Wang Zhaojun is."

"That's right." Wuyou stood up and rewarded Shoubao with some food.

After feeding Shoubao, Wuyou continued: "Emperor Han Yuan favored eunuchs. His idea was very naive. He believed that eunuchs have no heirs and live and die in the palace. They are not easy to form gangs and are most loyal to him. This also led to the court at that time. The Tang Dynasty is divided into three factions: relatives, eunuchs and Confucian ministers. These three factions compete with each other and refuse to give in to each other."

"Emperor Han Yuan wanted to reform at the beginning and relied heavily on his Taifu Xiao Wangzhi. However, he was really soft-hearted and lacked courage, and his support for Xiao Wangzhi was not enough. This also caused the eunuchs and relatives to join forces to harm him. The death of Xiao Wangzhi forced many Confucian officials away." "At that time, Emperor Yuan of Han should actually rely on Confucian officials, but he allowed the other two factions to join forces, so that he abolished his martial arts, which also made the entire Han Dynasty officialdom even more corrupt. , and also allowed him, the emperor, to gradually lose his power. Since Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty has been in decline and there is no way to recover."

Shoubao finished eating his snacks, raised his head and said, "Look, he is really stupid."

The emperors before Emperor Yuan of Han all looked ugly.

Especially Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty.

He regrets it a little now.

Before his death, he left three very reliable auxiliary ministers for Liu She. As long as he was not too stupid, he should be able to survive for a while. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty originally wanted to wait until Liu She sat on the throne, and the government would be able to handle a lot of affairs. , maybe there will be changes.

But now it seems that this person's nature cannot be changed. If he is not capable, he is incapable.

He began to think about whether to depose the prince. If he just deposed the prince and let other princes take the throne, would the prince be killed?

And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't look good either.

This Emperor Yuan of Han was his direct descendant, and it was really hateful that he didn't have his style at all.

He said in his heart that even if you are not able to be decisive and act in a decisive manner, you can still learn from your ancestor Emperor Wen's White Lotus. Why can't you do the same thing and not be the same as what you have learned?
Wuyou didn't care what others thought, she thought to herself: "Emperor Yuan died in middle age, he was 42 years old when he died... Well, it seems that the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, except Emperor Wu, did not live very long."

"Okay, let's move on. Emperor Yuan died and his son Liu Ao succeeded to the throne as Emperor Cheng of Han. This Emperor Cheng of Han was even more absurd than Emperor Yuan of Han."

"Speaking of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, people can't help but think of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress. When talking of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, people will think of a beauty, that is Zhao Feiyan. There is a word in later generations, "the ring is fat and the swallow is thin, each has its own merits". This ring fat refers to the Tang Dynasty Yang Yuhuan, the noble concubine of Xuanzong, and Yanshou refers to Zhao Feiyan, the empress of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty."

When Wuyou mentions beauty, Shoubao becomes energetic.

"How beautiful? How good-looking? Are you prettier than our fox clan?"

Wuyou shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen it."

"Then let's go and have a look." Shoubao especially wanted to see these beauties who are famous in history books: "I want to compare with her to see who of us is more beautiful... My father and my sister said that I am from the fox tribe. The most beautiful of all, there is no one or demon more beautiful than me.”

Uh?
Wuyou smiled and handed Shoubao a mirror: "This is a magic mirror. If you ask the mirror who is the most beautiful in the world...it will answer you, if there is someone more beautiful than you, it will I’ll tell you too.”

Shoubao believed it to be true and took a mirror to look at it. While looking at it, he asked: "Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful person or monster in the world?"

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the mirror.

Wuyou endured the laughter and endured it very hard.

Under the canopy, many people could not stand upright with laughter.

"Fairies are very naive, and this little fox demon is really naive and easy to deceive."

Emperor Han Yuan was in a better mood: "Hmph, you dare to call me stupid, but you are even stupider than me."
