倚女专朝旋篡位,因妃诉子竟戕身。
兴亡反掌都缘色,枉作车书混一人。
倚女专朝旋篡位,因妃诉子竟戕身。
兴亡反掌都缘色,枉作车书混一人。
依靠女儿在朝中专权,随即篡夺了帝位,
因为妃子控告儿子,最终竟遭杀身之祸。
兴盛与灭亡反掌之间,都缘于美色,
白白地做了车同轨、书同文,混一天下的那个人。
Relying on his empress, he seized power in court, then usurped the throne;
Because of a consort's accusation against her son, he ended up slain.
The rise and fall turned in a palm, all due to lust for beauty,
In vain he unified laws and scripts, ruling as one man alone.
宫廷内部的博弈往往决定权力周期的更迭。
讽刺汉文帝因后宫干政与家庭纷争导致身死国乱。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
