Speaking of the Tang Empire, we have to mention the "Kaiyuan Shengshi", the development of the Tang Dynasty's national strength in this era reached the extreme, and the head merit was Li Longji, one of the protagonists of this article. At the age of 27, he inherited the unification at the most energetic and energetic age in his life, and used iron means to rectify internal governance and open up the way of speech, and after more than ten years of struggle in the past, the Tang Dynasty completed the sublimation in the hands of Li Longji.
In his early years, Li Longji was extremely fond of Wu Zetian's niece, Wu Huifei, who not only had a stunning face, but also had a very clever heart, as a harem woman, Li Longji achieved "a thousand flowers in the bush, and the leaves do not stick to the body." Unfortunately, although the two were quite affectionate, the previous children could not be retained. Until after the birth of his son Li Mao, in order to preserve the crystallization of the love between the two, he reported his son to the eldest brother and grew up in the name of the prince of the royal family. In order to clear the way for her son, Concubine Wu also urged Li Longji to abandon the crown prince.
It can be said that Li Longji's favor for Wu Huifei was no less than Yang Yuhuan's, he could listen to Wu Huifei's merciless execution of his son, and even allow her to murder his wife Empress Wang, who was with his own suffering, shortly after Wu Huifei's death, he fell in love with Yang Yuhuan, who was still his daughter-in-law at the time, and was deeply attracted by her femininity and intellect, and directly took her for himself, and his favor was even better than that of Wu Huifei at that time.
Why did Yang Yuhuan attract Tang Xuanzong's liking so much? In fact, Yang Yuhuan not only has a good appearance, she is also good at a variety of talents. According to historical records, Yang Yuhuan was able to sing and dance, Tang Xuanzong played the piano, Yang Yuhuan danced, and the entertainment life of the two was harmonious. After becoming the sole favorite of Tang Xuanzong, Yang Yuhuan played with Tang Xuanzong all day long, and Tang Xuanzong became less concerned about the government. On weekdays, the two often played a game called "holding a mallet", which was very popular in the Tang Dynasty at that time. Moreover, both of them are masters of games, playing you back and forth, and becoming more and more addicted.
Also known as Shuanglu, it swept throughout the Tang Dynasty. In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, various literary and artistic creations and sports have been greatly developed, and game board games such as hammer grip and Go are very popular. The game of holding the hammer is very simple, with 12 points up and down the board, 50 black and white pieces each, white chess from left to right, and then from the upper right corner to the left; the same is true for black chess below. After that, the two sides rotate the dice to play chess, and the chess is carried out according to the number of points. Tang Xuanzong liked to hold the hammer, and Yang Guifei was good at this way, so the two had to do it at least once a day, and Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong had the same hobbies, so they got the exclusive favor of Tang Xuanzong.
