I believe that everyone knows the phrase "accompanying the king" as accompanying the tiger, but the most appropriate description of this should be the pillow person next to the emperor. In ancient times, an emperor would also have many wives, and it was such a great honor for a woman to be able to get the favor of the emperor. But for the emperor, all kinds of women should have seen, so they were very demanding of their own women. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, as the most powerful country in the world at that time, the Tang Dynasty was respected by many countries. The story we want to tell today is that during the Li Yan period of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor actually abandoned two Japanese princesses because of makeup. Let's talk about the ins and outs of this matter in detail.
The status of the Tang Dynasty in the history of our country is beyond doubt, and the status of the world in that era is also one of the best, and it is much ahead of other countries in the world at that time in terms of economy and policy, and this story is that other countries established diplomacy with the Tang Dynasty, weak countries have no diplomatic qualifications, but the powerful Tang Dynasty is naturally the object of many neighboring small countries, including Naturally, Japan. During the Li Yan period, in order to embrace the thighs of the Tang Dynasty, Japan dedicated the two most beautiful and beautiful princesses in the country to Li Zhen. Beauty is naturally what everyone wants, and the king at that time, Li Zhen, was naturally no exception, and the ministers at that time believed that accepting these two princesses of Japan could help the two countries to develop better together. Therefore, when the emperor heard this, he naturally agreed quickly and decided to spoil the two princesses in the evening.
But things are not as simple as everyone thinks, according to common sense, if the emperor likes these two princesses, after pampering them, he will greatly reward them, but who thinks that not only is there no reward, these two princesses were also locked up by the emperor's subordinates early in the morning, this move also shocked the emissaries from Japan, if the emperor is not happy, will not it bring disaster to their country? What made the Japanese envoy feel very confused was that yesterday the emperor clearly liked these two princesses, why did he punish them after one night?
After they met the emperor, they also learned the truth of the matter, in the beginning, the emperor really liked the two princesses, and the princess wanted to seize this opportunity to get more favor from the emperor, so she wanted to draw a delicate Japanese makeup to attract the emperor's attention. And at that time, this kind of cosmetics in Japan also had a feature, and if you want to use it, you must first shave off your eyebrows and blacken your teeth so that you can use it. But in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of makeup was still not accepted by everyone. So it was obvious that the emperor was immediately startled by these two people when he got up, and in a fit of rage demanded that the two men be locked up.
In order not to cause trouble, the Japanese emissaries quickly explained the truth of the matter to the emperor, this kind of makeup in Japan is used by beautiful women to attract them to like men, the emperor naturally does not want to be embarrassed after listening to the two princesses to go, and solemnly said to them not to paint cosmetics in the harem, this story is actually telling us that the aesthetics of each country are different, do not blindly imitate the beauty in the eyes of others and lose the most primitive beauty.
