The clouds want to dress and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon.
If it were not for the jade mountain head, it would meet the Yaotai Moon.
This poem is Li Bai at Yang Yuhuan's birthday banquet with wine to write this poem, although the poem does not mention Yang Yuhuan's identity, but the beauty of Yang Yuhuan is vividly displayed, the poem uses many side descriptions, exaggerations, metaphors and other techniques to write Yang Yuhuan very beautiful.
It can be said that Yang Yuhuan is a recognized beauty, otherwise it is impossible to become one of the four great beauties of ancient China, although the evaluation of her by later generations is mixed, but she is a famous court musician and dancer in ancient times.
I believe that many people also can't understand that Yang Yuhuan has set thousands of favors in one, why didn't he ascend to the throne of the empress? The answer is actually very simple to "avoid suspicion".
According to historical records such as the Old Book of Tang, the New Book of Tang, and the Zizhi Tongjian, Yang Yuhuan was previously the daughter-in-law of Tang Xuanzong, and later snatched it from his son through some means.
According to records, Yang Yuhuan was born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather was the Sui Dynasty's Shangzhu Guo, the official Shangshu, who was killed by Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty, and his father Yang Xuanyan served as a Shuzhou Sihu, and Yang Yuhuan's childhood was also spent in Shuzhou.
When her father died of illness at the age of 10, Yang Yuhuan had to be fostered in the home of yang Xuanxuan, the third uncle of Luoyang, because she was born into a eunuch family, coupled with a superior educational environment, which enabled her to have a certain cultural accomplishment.
In addition, Yang Yuhuan's appearance is also born beautiful, docile personality, proficient in music at a young age, can sing and dance, and is good at playing the pipa, in Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song" once wrote: "Natural beauty is difficult to give up, once chosen on the side of the king."
In July of the 22nd year of the new century, Tang Xuanzong's daughter Princess Xianyi got married, Yang Yuhuan was invited to participate, and Princess Xianyi's brother Li Mao fell in love with her at first sight.
Later, at the request of Concubine Wu Hui, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang decreed that she be made Princess Shou, and at this time Tang Xuanzong did not know how beautiful Yang Yuhuan looked.
After marriage, Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao were very affectionate, but after Wu Huifei's death, Tang Xuanzong was depressed, because Wu Huifei was his favorite concubine.
The treatment in the palace was equivalent to that of the empress, although there were thousands of harem beauties at that time, none of them could match Wu Huifei.
During Tang Xuanzong's sad period, a minister said: "Yang Yuhuan's posture is heavenly, it is advisable to fill the court", after seeing the true face of Yang Yuhuan, Tang Xuanzong thought about it night and night.
Therefore, in October of the twenty-eighth year of the new century, in the name of the blessing of his mother Empress Dou, Yang Yuhuan was ordained as a female Taoist priest, with the Dao name "Taizhen." ”
Yang Yuhuan was five years away, how to make him his favorite concubine, Tang Xuanzong was racking his brains, and finally decided to first establish Wei Zhaoxun's daughter as Princess Shou, in order to appease his son King Shou.
When everything was done, Yang Yuhuan's period of observance of the ordination expired, and Tang Xuanzong issued an edict to let him return to the world, and directly received it from the palace, and was officially established as a noble concubine, since Tang Xuanzong deposed Empress Wang, she was not established, so Yang Guifei was equivalent to an empress.
Thinking that his beloved wife had been snatched away by his father, Li Mao was extremely angry in his heart, but after all, Tang Xuanzong was his father, and finally swallowed his anger.
Therefore, the poet Li Shangyin once wrote in a poem: "Li Xiu FeiQuan is full of warm incense, Kowloon cares for the jade lotus room, And Ping Ming is blessed with the Hall of Eternal Life, not from the Jin Yu Wei Shou King." ”
This poem describes in detail the depression of Li Mao, the king of Shou, and the embarrassment of Tang Xuanzong after tang Xuanzong snatched his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, but it also shows from the side that Yang Yuhuan is very beautiful, and even Tang Xuanzong is desperate to get her.
After being crowned as a noble concubine, Yang Yuhuan was a collection of thousands of favors, and other concubines in the harem could only wash their faces with tears, such as: "A red dust concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee."
In order to please Yang Yuhuan, Tang Xuanzong used all the stations and fast horses, the purpose was only to let Yang Yuhuan eat a bite of fresh lychee, so it also caused countless fast horses to die of exhaustion in the middle of the road, so the lychee was also known as "concubine laughter".
At that time, the price of a fresh lychee had already exceeded the same weight of gold, and in the Tang Dynasty, the lychee also had the reputation of "the king of hundred fruits", which showed Tang Xuanzong's favor for her, and this matter also left a strong mark in history.
It has to be said that Tang Xuanzong used many means to get Yang Yuhuan, first by letting her marry and dissolve the marriage with King Shou, and later by means of some means to include her in the palace as his favorite concubine.
Although this feeling is true love, this kind of behavior is very disdainful for future generations, if Yang Yuhuan becomes an empress again, it will not be laughed at by the people of the world.
After Yang Yuhuan became a noble concubine, the family members also rose to a high level, Tang Xuanzong was well aware of the harm of the monopoly of foreign relatives, and as Yang Yuhuan became a noble concubine, the mother clan also became swelled, and there was even a prime minister in the clan.
Therefore, Tang Xuanzong believed that if Yang Yuhuan was made empress, then her matriarchal power would also expand, which would affect the balance of power in the court, so in order to prevent the Yang clan from sitting on the throne, Tang Xuanzong would not make Yang Yuhuan an empress.
Because Tang Xuanzong had driven Yang Yuhuan out of the palace several times, he finally had to take her back to the palace because of Xiang Sicheng's illness.
In addition, there is a point that Yang Yuhuan has no children, you must know that the harem has always been a mother with children, although Yang Yuhuan has always been favored by Tang Xuanzong, but has not had children, no heirs in the harem is equivalent to unstable status, no matter how to spoil the emperor after a hundred years or no dependence.
Because Yang Yuhuan had no heirs, if Tang Xuanzong wanted to make her queen, he must obtain the consent of the chancellor, so considering this, Tang Xuanzong did not appoint her as a queen.
Although Yang Yuhuan did not become an empress, her status was no different from that of an empress, and it was even more beautiful than when Wu Zetian was an empress.
All in all, no matter how much Yang Yuhuan was favored by Tang Xuanzong, he could not ascend to the throne of the empress in the end, and Yang Yuhuan was also a tragic figure.
Especially in the end, she was considered by the imperial court to be the "culprit", and was eventually given to die under the slope of Ma Song, and also became the scapegoat of Tang Xuanzong.
However, in the face of Yang Yuhuan's cause of death, some people said that Yang Yuhuan died in the Buddhist Hall, according to the "Old Book of Tang , Biography of Yang Guifei": "After the forbidden army killed Yang Guozhong's father and son, chen Xuanli and others, they thought that "the thief was still there" and requested to kill Yang Guifei again to avoid future troubles. Tang Xuanzong was helpless and said goodbye to the noble concubine, "Sui Han died in the Buddhist chamber. ”
Secondly, Yang Yuhuan died in the rebellion, which is mainly found in some Tang poems, and Du Fu composed a poem "The Head of the Wai River" in Chang'an, which Du Fu occupied at An Lushan in the second year of Zhide.
Among them, the sentence "Where are the bright eyes and bright teeth now, the blood stain cannot be returned" implies that Yang Guifei was not hanged to death in Ma Songyi, because hanging death would not meet with blood.
Although yang Yuhuan's death is widely disputed, it is a very pity that she died at the same age as the flower.
