There are many poignant stories in ancient China, such as: Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, Niu Lang and Weaver Girl, Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, Dayi and Chang'e. The feelings between them have gone through various setbacks and tribulations, but they have never abandoned, the most tragic of which still belongs to Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, when Tang Xuanzong fled Chang'an to Ma Songpo, Tang Xuanzong ordered the killing of his most beloved woman, Yang Guifei killed herself in Ma Songpo, I can't imagine how complicated Tang Xuanzong's heart was at that time, he personally killed his favorite person, it is estimated that it is better to live than to die.
Today, I have come to discuss with you whether Yang Guifei died in Ma Songpo or fled to Japan?
In 2000, a Certain Japanese actress actually claimed to be a descendant of Yang Guifei, which made the people of the country in an uproar, there is evidence that There is a Kuzu Village called "the hometown of Yang Guifei" in Japan, and there is also the tomb of Yang Guifei, which makes people exclaim that it is impossible, Yang Guifei has not been given by Tang Xuanzong to die in Ma Songpo, and even if Yang Guifei can escape from Ma Songpo, then why can she escape to Japan? The long way from Datang to Japan, coupled with the inevitable presence of robbers on the road of war, but also to experience bad weather at sea, it is estimated that Japan is also nine deaths. Therefore, some people believe that Yang Guifei was not killed when she was in Ma Songpo, but successfully fled, and when Tang Xuanzong ordered Yang Guifei to be killed, Yang Guifei had already been "exchanged for a tanuki cat for a prince", and let a palace maid die in her place.
Yang Guifei is one of the four beauties of ancient China, no one is envious of Yang Guifei's beauty, Yang Guifei's death makes everyone in the world feel very sorry, so people hope that Yang Guifei did not die in Ma Songpo, then Did Yang Guifei flee to Japan?
At that time, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and in December of the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), An Lushan attacked the eastern capital Luoyang, and Tang Xuanzong was in danger.
It just so happened that at this time, Yang Guifei's brothers and sisters had offended the crown prince again, and Tang Xuanzong originally wanted to make the crown prince the Grand Marshal of The Terracotta Army and leave the army under the management of the Crown Prince, so Yang Guozhong was very afraid that his position would not be secured, and the Yang brothers and sisters told Tang Xuanzong that Tang Xuanzong would therefore postpone the appointment of the crown prince as the Grand Marshal of the Terracotta Army. Crown Prince Li Heng was very upset with Yang Guifei's brothers and sisters, who caused them to be unable to succeed to the throne. Yang Guifei's death at Ma Songpo was closely related to the crown prince Li Heng, and after arriving at Ma Songpo, the crown prince Li Heng first killed Yang Guozhong, do you think Li Heng would easily let Yang Guifei go? The answer was yes, Li Heng could not let Yang Guifei go, and Tang Xuanzong was already weak enough to even protect his beloved woman, so Yang Guifei was not far from death.
In May of the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756), Tang Xuanzong took Yang Guifei, the crown prince and several other people to flee in a hurry, An Lushan led his troops to pursue and kill, and the day after Tang Xuanzong fled chang'an, Tang Xuanzong and his party came to Ma Songyi (ma song yi) (present-day xingping county, shaanxi). Under the careful planning of the crown prince Li Heng and the general of the Forbidden Army, the two of them framed Yang Guozhong as a traitor, so Yang Guozhong was shot dead by the Forbidden Army's random arrows. Yang Guozhong did not know until his death that Li Heng had already bribed the forbidden army general Chen Xuanli and his subordinates.
Since Yang Guozhong had already been solved by the crown prince Li Heng, then Yang Guifei should not be far away, according to a large number of historical records, Yang Guifei had indeed died in Ma Songyi, rather than fleeing to Japan.
Old Book of Tang. The Biography of the Later Concubines records: "Gai refers to the noble concubines also. Lux overplayed, the emperor did not get it, and the concubine Zhao, Sui Han died in the Buddha Treasure, when the Chinese New Year's Eve eight, on the side of the Yixi Road. “
The "Zizhi Tongjian" records: "Shang yue: Noble concubines often live in the deep palace, and An Zhiguo is loyal to plotting rebellion? Gao Lishi said: "Noble concubines are innocent, but the generals have killed Guozhong, and the noble concubines are at your majesty's side, how dare you be at peace!" May His Majesty ponder it, and His Majesty the General anthony be at peace. "Shang Nai Ming Lu led the noble concubine to the Buddhist hall and hanged her. With the corpse placed in the court, summoning Xuan Li and other people to see it.
Old Book of Tang. The Biography of the Later Concubines records: "The Emperor returned from Shu, ordered the envoys to pay tribute, and ordered them to be buried." “
There are so many history books that mention that Yang Guifei has died in Ma Songpo, and there is a high probability that Yang Guifei will not flee to Japan, let alone the legend that Yang Guifei was replaced by a palace maid, because the crown princes Li Heng and Chen Xuanli cannot be stupid enough not to examine the corpse to prove that it is not Yang Guifei, if Yang Guifei really escaped, then these two people will definitely panic, and Yang Guifei will definitely come back and retaliate against the two.
After Li Longji returned from Shu, he planned to rebury Yang Guifei, but Li Longji wanted to rebury Yang Guifei but was denied by Li Yu, the attendant of the ceremonial department, so Li Longji secretly ordered the envoy to be buried in his place. Moreover, in the process of reburialing, the first fistula was wrapped in purple mattresses, the skin was damaged, and the sachet was still there, and there was no such thing as "not seeing the body".
