Yang Guifei is one of the four beauties in Chinese history, on the appearance, it can be called the fall of the country, sinking fish and falling geese, otherwise it will not let the Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji love die and come back to life, on talent, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient, otherwise they will not sing and harmonize with Li Longji and create a prosperous pear garden. Since ancient times, when it comes to the death of Yang Guifei, everyone is a sigh, why is the fault of men always pushed on women, but the sins of Emperor Tang Ming cannot be erased, yang Guifei's sins are equally difficult to describe, a great prosperity ended in the hands of this woman, leaving future generations with seemingly romantic love stories, but what is brought to the world is endless war and life.
Yang Guifei was born in a family of eunuchs, her grandfather was a high-ranking official of the Sui Dynasty, the early years of the Tang Dynasty was killed by Li Shimin, her father was also a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, but when Yang Yuhuan was 10 years old, her father died, so she could only run to the uncle's family in Luoyang, Yang Yuhuan was born beautiful, received a good education since childhood, because she was docile, and she was good at singing and dancing, plus she was very beautiful, so she was favored by Tang Xuanzong's son King Shou, so at the request of King Shou, Tang Xuanzong decreed that Yang Yuhuan be the Princess of Shou. After marriage, the little two mouths are very sweet.
However, not long after, Yang Yuhuan was snatched away by Tang Xuanzong, because of the death of Aifei, Tang Xuanzong was depressed, Gao Lishi in order to coax Tang Xuanzong to be happy, actually came up with a bad idea, summoned Yang Yuhuan into the palace, King Shou was ashamed and indignant, in order to hide the eyes and ears, Tang Xuanzong first let Yang Guifei become a female Taoist, and then made her a noble concubine, and since then he has been very fond of Yang Guifei, in the early period of Tang Xuanzong's reign, political clarity, and created a prosperous era, Tang Xuanzong chose to be able to appoint talents, and the government and the public presented a prosperous scene. However, since Yang Guifei entered the palace, Tang Xuanzong gradually became addicted to female color, singing and dancing every day, and he also composed the "Neon Dress Feather Song" himself, and when he summoned Yang Guifei, he ordered the musician to play this new music, gave Yang Clan a gold tungsten, and personally inserted it on Yang's sideburns. Emperor Xuanzong said to the harem people: "If you have obtained Yang Guifei, you will be able to obtain the most precious treasure" (The Secret Records of the Ancient and Modern Palaces, Vol. 3)
Because of Yang Guifei's power in the palace, her relatives were all made high-ranking officials, and even Yang Guifei's distant brother Yang Guozhong, a rogue in the city, began to manipulate the government, and the power of the Yang family shook the government and the opposition for a while, and the Yang family did evil deeds in various places, but Tang Xuanzong turned a blind eye, the Yang family, married two princesses, two county lords, And Xuanzong also personally wrote the Yang family and the temple monument of the Chu Shu family. Yang Guifei repeatedly asked Tang Xuanzong for an official for her relatives, and Tang Xuanzong agreed to it without exception.
Later, Tang Xuanzong missed his other concubine, Concubine Mei, and Yang Guifei was so jealous that she spoke ill of Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Mei and insulted her, which made Tang Xuanzong very angry and drove Yang Guifei back to her mother's house, but not long after Yang Guifei left, Tang Xuanzong felt that her heart was empty, so she had to take Yang Guifei back overnight, and Xuanzong also took Yang Guifei's three sisters to Chang'an, named them Lady Yipin, and allowed them to enter and leave the palace at will.
Yang Guozhong in the imperial court chaotic government, Yang Guifei in Tang Xuanzong pillow blowing wind, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was buried in the hands of the brothers and sisters, when An Lushan in order to curry favor with the emperor, many times to please Yang Guifei, sent a large number of gold and silver jewelry, won the favor of Yang Guifei, the result of Yang Guifei's good words, An Lushan power in his hands, and finally rebelled, and Shi Siming together to create the An Shi Rebellion, since then the Tang Dynasty declined, after years of war, the situation of the division of the town has been formed.
After the An Shi rebels invaded Chang'an, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei fled in a hurry, and were eventually forced to die in Ma Songpo by the sergeants, and there are many theories about Yang Guifei's death: Du Fu wrote a poem "The Head of the Lai River" in Chang'an, which was occupied by An Lushan in the second year of Zhide (757 AD), which contains the sentence "Where are the bright eyes and teeth now, and the blood-stained wandering soul cannot return", implying that Yang Guifei was not hanged to die in Ma Songyi, because hanging death would not meet with blood. Li Yi's Seven Absolute "Passing The Horse Ridge" and the Seven Laws "The Second Song of the Horse Ridge" have poems such as "Tuojun Xiu washes the lotus flower blood" and "Tai Zhen blood stains the horse's hooves", which also reflect the scene when Yang Guifei was killed by the rebel army and died under the blade of the soldier. It can be seen from this that the real cause of Yang Guifei's death was not hanging herself, but was killed in the army by the crazy rebel army.
