源氏篇
話說公元十世紀(ji)的日本,天(tian)皇(huang)(huang)特別寵愛一(yi)位住在桐(tong)(tong)壺(hu)(hu)院的更衣(妃),此(ci)更衣與桐(tong)(tong)壺(hu)(hu)帝(di)(di)宿(su)緣深厚,生下(xia)一(yi)位容貌非凡、舉世無雙(shuang)的小皇(huang)(huang)子(zi)(zi)-光(guang)君(jun)。光(guang)君(jun)三(san)歲(sui)時,桐(tong)(tong)壺(hu)(hu)更衣病逝。翌年冊(ce)封太(tai)子(zi)(zi),桐(tong)(tong)壺(hu)(hu)帝(di)(di)本欲立(li)光(guang)君(jun)為(wei)太(tai)子(zi)(zi),但考慮到(dao)光(guang)君(jun)缺乏有力外戚作為(wei)后(hou)援人(ren),即位后(hou)于朝廷(ting)不利,因(yin)此(ci)立(li)右大臣(chen)之女(nv)(nv)弘徽殿女(nv)(nv)御(貴(gui)妃)所(suo)生的大皇(huang)(huang)子(zi)(zi)為(wei)太(tai)子(zi)(zi),即后(hou)世"朱雀帝(di)(di)"。光(guang)君(jun)七(qi)歲(sui)就學,桐(tong)(tong)壺(hu)(hu)帝(di)(di)見光(guang)君(jun)天(tian)資聰慧,多(duo)才多(duo)藝,認為(wei)他(ta)可成為(wei)輔佐朝廷(ting)的重(zhong)臣(chen),因(yin)此(ci)將光(guang)君(jun)降為(wei)臣(chen)籍,賜姓源(yuan)氏。早年有相命者言,源(yuan)氏將得(de)三(san)子(zi)(zi),一(yi)位是(shi)天(tian)皇(huang)(huang),一(yi)位是(shi)皇(huang)(huang)后(hou),一(yi)位是(shi)權(quan)臣(chen)。
源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)九歲時,桐(tong)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)帝(di)(di)(di)迎娶了先帝(di)(di)(di)的四(si)公主,入宮(gong)(gong)后稱(cheng)"藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御"。藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御容貌風采酷(ku)似桐(tong)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)更衣(yi),被桐(tong)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)帝(di)(di)(di)視作舉世罕有(you)(you)的美人而深受寵愛。源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)自幼(you)生長宮(gong)(gong)中,與藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御親近相處,成年(nian)后對(dui)藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御心生愛慕,二人終于一度私通,但事后藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御深感愧(kui)疚(jiu)。源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)十八歲那(nei)年(nian),藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御因(yin)患小恙暫(zan)回娘家調(diao)養,源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)趁機相會(hui),藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御在回宮(gong)(gong)前發現(xian)已有(you)(you)身(shen)孕,惶恐萬分,翌(yi)年(nian)生下一個皇子(zi)。這(zhe)嬰兒(er)相貌酷(ku)似源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi),但桐(tong)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)帝(di)(di)(di)認為(wei)(wei)系兄弟(di)相貌相似之(zhi)故,隨后冊立藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御為(wei)(wei)皇后。多年(nian)后小皇子(zi)由(you)朱雀帝(di)(di)(di)立為(wei)(wei)太子(zi),即后世"冷(leng)泉帝(di)(di)(di)"。
源氏(shi)二(er)十歲冠禮(li),迎娶了左大(da)臣的女兒"葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)"為正夫人(ren)。由(you)于戀慕藤(teng)壺(hu)女御,源氏(shi)對(dui)葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)十分(fen)冷淡(dan),不(bu)久后更與(yu)前太子遺(yi)孀"六(liu)條妃(fei)子"有染。葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)生性高傲,隱忍(ren)中不(bu)免(mian)怨(yuan)恨源氏(shi),夫妻間形同陌路。源氏(shi)二(er)十二(er)歲那年(nian)朱(zhu)雀帝即位,賀茂祭禮(li)由(you)源氏(shi)擔任執事(shi),葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)乘車上街觀賞,侍從們認(ren)出(chu)(chu)六(liu)條妃(fei)微行出(chu)(chu)游(you)的車子便與(yu)之爭位,致六(liu)條妃(fei)車轅(yuan)損(sun)毀。六(liu)條妃(fei)深感受辱,心(xin)生異常怨(yuan)恨,竟在不(bu)覺(jue)中生魂(hun)出(chu)(chu)竅(qiao),作(zuo)祟葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)。其時葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)已身(shen)懷(huai)(huai)有孕,經法師鎮住生魂(hun)后,葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)產(chan)下一(yi)男嬰,即"夕(xi)霧(wu)"。源氏(shi)與(yu)生魂(hun)對(dui)話時辨(bian)認(ren)出(chu)(chu)本尊,從此(ci)對(dui)六(liu)條妃(fei)疏(shu)遠。罹(li)此(ci)大(da)難(nan)之后,源氏(shi)對(dui)葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)倍加珍愛(ai),夫妻二(er)人(ren)盡棄(qi)前嫌(xian),但葵(kui)(kui)姬(ji)(ji)產(chan)后虛(xu)弱萎靡(mi),不(bu)多時日便香消玉殞,源氏(shi)傷心(xin)欲絕,緬懷(huai)(huai)往事(shi)更覺(jue)悔(hui)恨難(nan)當。后夕(xi)霧(wu)官至左大(da)臣。
藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御雖曾與(yu)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)私(si)通(tong),但對此悔恨不已,誓(shi)不再犯,而(er)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)對藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御的愛慕(mu)之心始(shi)終未改。十八(ba)歲(sui)那年,源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)在機緣巧合之下(xia)于北山邂逅藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御的侄女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv),十歲(sui)的紫(zi)兒。紫(zi)兒系藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御之兄的私(si)生女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv),因血(xue)緣相近(jin),與(yu)藤(teng)(teng)(teng)(teng)壺(hu)女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)御面(mian)容(rong)肖似,生母(mu)病逝后(hou)住在北山,由外祖母(mu)撫養(yang)。數月后(hou)北山外祖母(mu)去世(shi),源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)便收養(yang)了紫(zi)兒,五年后(hou)葵姬病世(shi),源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)與(yu)紫(zi)兒秘密(mi)完婚。源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)姬妾情人(ren)(ren)眾(zhong)多,始(shi)終令紫(zi)姬愛恨糾結,但源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)對紫(zi)姬的寵(chong)愛絕非其她姬妾可比(bi)。源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)二十六歲(sui)時因"朧月夜"事件(jian),被迫流放至須(xu)磨浦,巧遇明(ming)石姬,兩人(ren)(ren)結下(xia)情緣,后(hou)明(ming)石姬為源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)生下(xia)一女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv),即"明(ming)石女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)公(gong)子"。女(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)(nv)公(gong)子由紫(zi)姬悉心養(yang)育長大,后(hou)入(ru)宮嫁與(yu)今上,冊(ce)立為后(hou),稱(cheng)"明(ming)石皇后(hou)"。

源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)一生風(feng)流,姬(ji)(ji)妾情人眾(zhong)多,但十(shi)分注重情義,對于曾經(jing)戀(lian)愛或結(jie)緣(yuan)的女子始終照庇。六(liu)條(tiao)妃性情高雅(ya),富有才情,與(yu)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)相互愛慕(mu)卻一直糾(jiu)葛(ge)不斷。葵姬(ji)(ji)去世(shi)后(hou),源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)曾在書(shu)信中(zhong)含蓄點破生魂事件,六(liu)條(tiao)妃感到已遭(zao)厭(yan)棄(qi),便決(jue)心陪女兒新任伊(yi)勢齋宮(gong)南下伊(yi)勢過清苦生活。齋宮(gong)南行前(qian)在嵯(cuo)峨野修行,源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)為送(song)別六(liu)條(tiao)妃微(wei)服(fu)親往(wang)嵯(cuo)峨野宮(gong),與(yu)六(liu)條(tiao)妃對坐廊下,徹夜(ye)長談(tan),黎明(ming)時分二人依依惜(xi)別。朱雀帝(di)退(tui)位后(hou),按例伊(yi)勢齋宮(gong)易(yi)任,六(liu)條(tiao)妃與(yu)前(qian)齋宮(gong)回到京都,源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)照顧(gu)備(bei)至。但六(liu)條(tiao)妃回京后(hou)不久便染重病,去世(shi)前(qian)將(jiang)前(qian)齋宮(gong)托付給源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi),后(hou)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)將(jiang)前(qian)齋宮(gong)嫁與(yu)冷(leng)泉帝(di),冊立為后(hou),因(yin)喜愛秋(qiu)天(tian),稱為"秋(qiu)好皇(huang)后(hou)"。
源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)返京(jing)后(hou)即開始修(xiu)建新(xin)宅"六條(tiao)院(yuan)",分為(wei)(wei)(wei)春夏(xia)秋(qiu)冬(dong)四季院(yuan)落,秋(qiu)院(yuan)原為(wei)(wei)(wei)六條(tiao)妃舊(jiu)邸(di),建成后(hou)仍(reng)由秋(qiu)好皇后(hou)居用。此(ci)外(wai),春院(yuan)由源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)和(he)紫姬居用,夕霧(wu)繼母(mu)花散里居夏(xia)院(yuan),明石姬居冬(dong)院(yuan)。源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)在(zai)舊(jiu)宅二條(tiao)東院(yuan)安置了許(xu)多以往有過(guo)來往的(de)(de)女子,其(qi)中包(bao)括丑陋木訥(ne)的(de)(de)末摘花和(he)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)年少時曾苦苦追求(qiu)的(de)(de)空蟬(chan)(chan)(chan)(chan)。末摘花與源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)早(zao)年結(jie)下露水姻(yin)緣,在(zai)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)被貶須磨之后(hou)仍(reng)堅(jian)(jian)貞不(bu)移(yi),源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)甚為(wei)(wei)(wei)感動。空蟬(chan)(chan)(chan)(chan)早(zao)年曾堅(jian)(jian)拒源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi),在(zai)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)偷入她臥室后(hou)慌忙逃脫(tuo),丟落的(de)(de)一件外(wai)衣好似蟬(chan)(chan)(chan)(chan)蛻。后(hou)空蟬(chan)(chan)(chan)(chan)的(de)(de)丈夫常陸(lu)介去世,繼子頻繁示愛,空蟬(chan)(chan)(chan)(chan)不(bu)勝其(qi)擾竟(jing)毅然(ran)出家,此(ci)后(hou)承蒙(meng)源(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)蔭(yin)庇,安心禮佛修(xiu)行。
源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)年少時(shi)即(ji)戀(lian)慕(mu)表姐槿(jin)姬(ji),朱雀帝即(ji)位(wei)后槿(jin)姬(ji)被(bei)任命(ming)為賀(he)茂(mao)齋院(yuan),源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)仍不時(shi)示愛。雖然槿(jin)齋院(yuan)對源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)心存愛慕(mu)之心,但(dan)自覺(jue)接受源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)的示愛未免從俗(su),故此一味(wei)矜持,對源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)冷若冰霜,最后竟發誓終(zhong)身(shen)不嫁,源(yuan)氏(shi)(shi)無可(ke)奈何,但(dan)二人一直書信(xin)往(wang)來,暢談世(shi)事,欣賞(shang)四時(shi)情(qing)趣。槿(jin)齋院(yuan)最終(zhong)遁入空(kong)門。
源(yuan)氏(shi)晚年迎(ying)娶(qu)了朱雀院(yuan)的三公主,紫(zi)姬(ji)心甚失意,又(you)兼料理六條院(yuan)內務,積勞成疾,身體(ti)日(ri)漸虛弱(ruo)。源(yuan)氏(shi)四十(shi)五歲那年,紫(zi)姬(ji)受六條妃(fei)鬼魂作(zuo)祟,重(zhong)病(bing)不起(qi),兩年后與世長辭。紫(zi)姬(ji)平生不喜秋(qiu)(qiu)景,早年曾與秋(qiu)(qiu)好(hao)皇后戲詩取笑,終在秋(qiu)(qiu)風中飄逝,去世時明(ming)石(shi)皇后在側,得以親自送終。藤壺皇后和紫(zi)姬(ji)先后去世,源(yuan)氏(shi)頓感無限(xian)孤寂(ji),于是遁入深山(shan),潛心修行,最后云隱山(shan)中。

朱(zhu)雀帝(di)為(wei)太子時(shi)傾(qing)慕葵姬,曾經向左大臣(chen)求親(qin),但左大臣(chen)因鐘愛源氏(shi)而遷延未(wei)許。隨后(hou)源氏(shi)冠(guan)禮,左大臣(chen)將葵姬嫁與源氏(shi),弘(hong)徽殿女御頗為(wei)不滿(man),但朱(zhu)雀帝(di)并未(wei)因此忌恨源氏(shi)。

朱雀(que)(que)(que)帝(di)在作為新任(ren)天(tian)皇對新任(ren)齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)舉(ju)行加櫛儀式(shi)時(shi)(shi)(shi),對齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)一見鐘情(qing),但(dan)當時(shi)(shi)(shi)無奈之(zhi)下只能按例(li)對齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)說出(chu)"勿再回"的(de)祝語,因為齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)回京即(ji)表示朝代已(yi)經更替。后朱雀(que)(que)(que)帝(di)退位,齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)與母親六(liu)(liu)條妃回京,不久六(liu)(liu)條妃過世,朱雀(que)(que)(que)院便向源(yuan)氏誠懇(ken)提(ti)出(chu)接納前齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)。源(yuan)氏其時(shi)(shi)(shi)正準(zhun)備送前齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)入(ru)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)做冷泉(quan)帝(di)女御,一時(shi)(shi)(shi)難以抉(jue)擇,便找藤壺皇后商(shang)議,兩人(ren)隔簾對座之(zhi)時(shi)(shi)(shi),已(yi)是(shi)(shi)集舉(ju)國(guo)大(da)權于一處。雖然(ran)有負朱雀(que)(que)(que)院多年思念,兩人(ren)最終還是(shi)(shi)決(jue)定將(jiang)前齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)嫁與冷泉(quan)帝(di),他們的(de)兒(er)子(zi)。前齋(zhai)(zhai)(zhai)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)入(ru)宮(gong)(gong)(gong)之(zhi)日(ri),看到朱雀(que)(que)(que)院的(de)禮(li)品和(he)贈詩,源(yuan)氏恍然(ran)發覺(jue)朱雀(que)(que)(que)院用情(qing)如此之(zhi)深(shen),于是(shi)(shi)深(shen)悔沒有玉成朱雀(que)(que)(que)院好(hao)事,但(dan)已(yi)無可(ke)挽回,深(shen)感對不起這位兄長。
