Li Shangyin’s Poetry – – 李商隐《北齐 (二首其二)》
北齐 (二首其二) 巧笑知堪敌万几, 倾城最在著戎衣。 晋阳已陷休回顾, 更请君王猎一围。 “巧笑”与“万几”,一女与天下,轻重关系本来一目了然,在高纬眼中,身着戎装的淑妃显然更加迷人。晋州告急,帝妃仍然寻欢作乐,亡国已成定局,无力回天。 The Downfall of Kingdom Qi (II) How could a beauty’s smile overshadow state affair? The king was charmed by his lady in hunting dress. Of his capital in danger he did not care; He would go hunting one more round nevertheless.
