It is impossible to mention Tang Xuanzong without mentioning Yang Guifei, and mentioning Yang Guifei cannot fail to mention An Lushan, in short, the names of these three people are destined to be entangled for a thousand years and continue to be entangled. It took Tang Xuanzong several years to turn his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan into his own concubine, and then the harem was colorless, so how did Yang Guifei repay Tang Xuanzong?
To know that when Yang Guifei really became Tang Xuanzong's concubine, Tang Xuanzong was already sixty years old, and Yang Guifei was only 26 years old, which was considered to be the grandfather and grandson of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, whether Yang Guifei really had feelings for Tang Xuanzong, we don't know, but many wild histories and even the main history have records, saying that Yang Guifei and An Lushan had private affairs, and some of the things that happened before the two of them were more famous than three things: First, An Lushan worshipped Yang Guifei as a righteous mother; second, Yang Guifei washed Lu'er in three days; third, An Lushan scratched Yang Guifei's chest.
Among them, this first thing, that is, An Lushan's worship of Yang Guifei as a righteous mother, is recorded in the Book of The Two Tang Dynasties and the Zizhi Tongjian, which should be conclusive. The last two things said that An Lushan and Yang Guifei had an affair, which the four girls did not dare to agree with, even if the "Zizhi Tongjian" included Yang Guifei's three-day washing of Lu'er, but how to think about it felt very ridiculous.
Later generations like to associate politics with female color, one of the purposes is to find a back pot man, the second purpose is to leave some boring talk to the world, so a lot of wild history came into being, such a wild history will generally be widely disseminated once it is produced. For example, between An Lushan and Yang Guifei, it was originally only the relationship between the righteous mother and the adopted son, and later there were many wild histories of the two being together.
But in fact, we analyze and analyze that it is basically impossible for two people to have feelings, let alone really have private feelings.
First of all, let's take a look at the basic situation of these two people, Yang Guifei's pet crown six palaces, is the most favored woman in the Tang Harem, and the glory and wealth are inexhaustible. An Lushan was a feudal official, an envoy of the Three Towns Festival, and had lived in the border pass for a long time. An Lushan was 16 years older than Yang Guifei, and An Lushan was a fat man with more than three hundred pounds, and if you think about it, you know that An Lushan's appearance has absolutely nothing to do with Shuai.
So why did he attract Yang Guifei? How much charm does he have that makes Yang Guifei give up everything she has? An Lushan only had an advantage over Tang Xuanzong in age, but he was also 16 years older than Yang Guifei, and Yang Guifei could not risk being with An Lushan.
Yang Guifei was favored again, everything she had was also given by Tang Xuanzong, once Tang Xuanzong knew that she and An Lushan had a private affair, then everything she had would disappear, and it was likely to lose the entire Yang family, such a price, Yang Guifei could not not be unaware, An Lushan did not have so much charm to make Yang Guifei red heart out of the wall. Yang Guifei was essentially a woman who admired vanity, otherwise she would not have been able to change from Princess Shou to Yang Guifei in the first place.
Secondly, let's look at An Lushan's side, An Lushan's forces are at the border pass, and some of the ministers in the dynasty are staring at him, before there is Li Linfu and then there is Yang Guozhong, An Lushan sees Li Linfu like a mouse sees a cat, and Yang Guozhong said several times in front of Tang Xuanzong that An Lushan will rebel and look for An Lushan's mistakes everywhere, under such circumstances, An Lushan's every action and every sentence in the capital is careful. How could he possibly go and be confused with Yang Guifei?
Moreover, no matter how absurd Tang Xuanzong's later years were, he would not lose the dignity of the emperor, and how could the emperor's women allow others to defile them? Besides, the harem was Tang Xuanzong's harem, how could other men have the opportunity to enter the harem, and really when anyone in the inner courtyard of the palace could enter? Besides, the harem is not unique to Yang Guifei, a woman, the harem woman likes to compete for the wind and be jealous, Yang Guifei really has something with An Lushan, it is impossible to hide, how will An Lushan get out at that time?
All of the above shows that there is innocence between An Lushan and Yang Guifei, of course, An Lushan did worship Yang Guifei as a righteous mother, but this does not mean that An Lushan looked at Yang Guifei's beauty, he only looked at the fact that Tang Xuanzong loved Yang Guifei. Since Tang Xuanzong loved Yang Guifei, If An Lushan wanted to gain Tang Xuanzong's favor, he should work Yang Guifei, and his worship of Yang Guifei as a righteous mother was actually to coax Tang Xuanzong to be happy.
When An Lushan was ready to raise an army at Fanyang, he did not recognize this righteous mother, but instead raised the banner of the Qing Emperor's side to ask Yang Guifei, and the New Book of Tang records that "Lushan rebelled, in the name of Xue Guozhong, and pointed out the sins of concubines and concubines." The Yang family represented by Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei had lost the hearts and minds of the people and the military, and An Lushan used this as an excuse to start an army and really fooled many people at the beginning.
An Lushan had been fighting for a week, and Tang Xuanzong accepted the fact that An Lushan had rebelled, and organized troops to resist, but unfortunately could not stop An Lushan's army at all, and soon An Lushan captured Luoyang, proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, and then continued to march west to capture Chang'an. As soon as the Tong Pass was broken, Tang Xuanzong secretly took Yang Guozhong, Yang Guifei and others to try to enter Shu, and it was on the way to escape, at Ma Songpo, that the soldiers mutinied, killed Yang Guozhong, and forced Yang Guifei to die. Within a few days, An Lushan occupied Chang'an with a large army.
Some people say that after Yang Guifei's death, An Lushan was still suffering for Yang Guifei, which was directly nonsense, An Lushan never cared about Yang Guifei's life and death, it can be imagined that if Tang Xuanzong did not flee Chang'an, but waited for An Lushan to attack Chang'an, maybe An Lushan would personally force Tang Xuanzong to kill Yang Guifei. After all, in the eyes of the world, it was Yang Guifei who seduced Tang Xuanzong and made Tang Xuanzong faint.
In the face of power and death, sacrificing a woman is nothing, Jun did not see how much Tang Xuanzong once loved Yang Guifei, and finally did not order yang Guifei to be executed, although he was persecuted by the generals, but Tang Xuanzong did not insist on leaving Yang Guifei's life!
