People in the world: Tang Xuanzong favored Yang Yuhuan alone, and even built a grand Huaqing Palace for her, but is this really the case? As an emperor, was Tang Xuanzong really single-minded?
Since the ancient emperor was more delicate and caring, the harem beauty was three thousand, although Yang Yuhuan was beautiful and unique, Tang Xuanzong would certainly not focus his attention on her alone.
The woman we are going to introduce today is named Jiang Caiping, Princess Mei. As for the origin of the name "Cai Ping", there are two theories. One is that the father took the title of the poem "Cai Ping" in the "Book of Poetry and ZhaoNan" as his daughter's name, and he had high expectations of her. In addition, it is said that the father named his daughter according to the poem "Wading in the River and Collecting Furong" in the "Nineteen Ancient Poems".
She was once Yang Yuhuan's most favored concubine of Tang Xuanzong before entering the palace. When Yang Yuhuan first entered the palace and received the grace, he also had a deep jealousy of this Concubine Mei, and in our modern parlance, Concubine Mei was Yang Yuhuan's greatest love enemy in the harem.
If Yang Yuhuan is a cinnabar mole on Tang Xuanzong's heart, then Meifei Jiang Caiping must be Tang Xuanzong's white moonlight. Jiang Caiping was born in a family of medical practitioners, she was clever and clever from an early age, and was deeply loved by her parents, while Jiang Caiping's father, Jiang Zhongxun, was a well-known doctor, an old woman, Jiang Zhongxun patiently taught her daughter, and eventually Jiang Caiping became a famous talented woman.
When she was a teenager, Jiang Caiping knew the book Dali, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were all exquisite, and the local people knew that the Jiang family had an outstanding daughter.
They sighed one after another: "I don't know whose son Lang has this blessing, and it is really a blessing to be able to marry Cai Ping as a wife, it is really a three-lifetime luck!" ”
Jiang Caiping loves plum blossoms very much, and even carries the fragrance of plum blossoms on her body, and her own personality is like plum blossoms, soft and rigid, elegant and quiet.
With the sudden death of Concubine Wu Hui, Tang Xuanzong was distraught and grief-stricken. In order to please Tang Xuanzong, the eunuch Gao Lishi decided to go south to select beautiful people for Tang Xuanzong, and after arriving in Mindi, he heard that there was a female Qingli in the Jiang family. So he hired him with heavy gifts and returned to Chang'an with Jiang Caiping.
The Biography of Concubine Mei records: "In the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Gao Lishi made Min Yue, concubine. See its shaoli, elected, serve the emperor, and see the favor. The three palaces of Chang'an Danei, Daming and Xingqing, and the two palaces of Dongdu Danei and Shangyang, several forty thousand people, are self-satisfied concubines and regard them as dust. The palace also thought it was too late. ”
Although there were tens of thousands of concubines in Tang Xuanzong's harem at that time, they were all heavily dressed and vulgar, and Xuanzong had long lost interest. But when Jiang Caiping, who was elegant and quiet, wrapped in light makeup, came to the palace, it was like a breeze, which deeply attracted Tang Xuanzong.
Jiang Caiping not only had a beautiful appearance, but also was good at musical instruments, song and dance, and loved plum blossoms, and soon received the grace of Tang Xuanzong, and was soon crowned as "Mei Concubine". Tang Xuanzong saw that Jiang Caiping loved plum blossoms so much that he even jokingly called Jiang Caiping "plum essence". Not only that, Tang Xuanzong also ordered people to plant plum blossoms all over the palace, and established "Mei Pavilion" and "Mei Pavilion" for Concubine Mei, which shows her grace.
"The Biography of Princess Mei" is loaded: light makeup and elegant clothes, and the posture is clear, and the pen cannot be depicted. Sex like plums, the bar sills where they live, all planted several plants.
For a time, this newcomer Concubine Mei gained the favor of Tang Xuanzong. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and Princess Mei has already favored the harem. But the emperor's favor came and went quickly. At the wedding of Princess Xianyi, Tang Xuanzong fell in love with Princess Yang Yuhuan at first sight. After several twists and turns, Tang Xuanzong finally got what he wanted and included the beauty Yang Yuhuan into the harem.
Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless, even if they are placed on Emperor Tang Ming. After Tang Xuanzong incorporated Yang Yuhuan into the harem, he ignored state affairs and spent his days with beautiful people.
Princess Mei gave a poem after learning about it: Leaving aside Chu Yun under Wushan Mountain, Nangong Yulou Spring overnight. Ice muscle moon appearance who can be like, splendid river sky half for the king.
The poem is to the effect that Yang Guifei disregarded human morality, abandoned her husband Junshou Wang, and attached her father-in-law, and also described Yang Guifei as round and thick as the moon (slightly fat), but confidently seduced the emperor and ignored the government...
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, he was very displeased, and repeatedly framed Tang Xuanzong and tried to beat Concubine Mei into the cold palace. During the plum blossom season of one year, Tang Xuanzong seemed to be a little afraid of Yang Yuhuan, and when Yang Yuhuan was not there, he invited Concubine Mei to appreciate the plum, but was told by the next person that Yang Yuhuan came uninvited, and Tang Xuanzong was furious and drove Yang Yuhuan back to his mother's house in a fit of anger.
Later, there was another visit to Princess Mei's residence, but when Yang Yuhuan found out, this honorable emperor actually hugged Concubine Mei and hid. From then on, Princess Mei knew that her position in Tang Xuanzong's heart had long ceased to exist. Only to see the new people laughing, not to see the old people crying, marrying into the imperial family, in the harem, really made the world sigh.
In the first year of De, it coincided with the rebellion of An Lushan and Shi Siming, which was called "An Shi Rebellion". Tang Xuanzong fled with Yang Yuhuan and a group of close courtiers and soldiers, and at this time he could not think of the Concubine Mei who lived alone in the harem. And Concubine Mei kept her innocence for the negative Xuanzong, did not let the traitors be insulted, and finally committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and her temperament was really strong.
After the rebellion was put down, Tang Xuanzong tried to send someone to find Concubine Mei, but it was fruitless, and finally Tang Xuanzong wrote a poem "Remembering Princess Mei": "Remembering the former Concubine in Zichen, Lead Hua is not naïve; ”
Tang Xuanzong even dreamed of Mei Fei's soul when he was asleep, and in order to express his remembrance and regret for Mei Fei, Tang Xuanzong personally wrote an altar text for her: "Concubine's rongxi, such as Hua Sixin;? Yu does not forget concubines, but places her hopes on things, such as Zhu Sizhen; ?Concubines do not live up to Yu, and several lose their bodies, such as Shi Sizhen.? Concubine Now she is gone, like a plum and floating zero; Yu Jin is lonely, and her heart is like a knot. ”
When Princess Mei was favored, she did not rely on Tang Xuanzong to exclude other concubines, did not form a party for personal gain, and did not bring calamity to the country and the people, but self-discipline, reason, and righteousness. He influenced Tang Xuanzong with his own character and virtuousness, and advised him to take Emperor Taizong as an example, so that Xuanzong could rule the country with virtue and maintain the prosperity of Kaiyuan.
Even if she was left behind by Xuanzong and fled, in order to preserve her innocence and avoid falling into the hands of thieves, she was insulted and chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, which shows her temperament. I don't know if such a strange woman will regret that she once committed herself to the harem, and the red dust is rolling?
