"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty thought of the country, and Yu Yu could not ask for it for many years." In 713 AD, the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of Tang Dynasty moved towards the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era", and the people lived in prosperity and contentment.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was also a mercurial emperor, and he met many women in his lifetime, the most obsessive of which was Yang Yuhuan.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's favor for Yang Guifei can be said to be unique, but Yang Guifei became a victim of the political decline of the Tang Dynasty, and after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, she hanged herself under the slope of Ma Song.
However, whether Yang Guifei really died under the slope of Ma Song became a doubt in people's minds, and it was not until Yang Guifei's coffin was opened that the rumors of a thousand years ago were confirmed.
Yuhuan first entered the imperial palace
In Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song", it describes Yang Yuhuan's life after entering the palace and the story of Yang Yuhuan hanging himself in Ma Songpo during the chaos of Anshi, it can be said that "Long Hate Song" is Bai Juyi telling the world the tragic love story of Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji, and also hopes that people all over the world can often stay with the people they loved before and spend the rest of their lives together.
Yang Yuhuan was born in 719 AD, her father was a Qipin official of the imperial court, and her family was relatively wealthy. Yang Yuhuan has three sisters, and the appearance of these three sisters is very beautiful, and among them, Yang Yuhuan's beauty cannot be compared with her sister.
When Yang Yuhuan was ten years old, her parents unfortunately died, and she was finally adopted by her third uncle.
Luoyang was one of the capitals of the Tang Dynasty and was a bustling city. Yang Yuhuan's third uncle lived near Luoyang, and because the third uncle had no children, he was extremely fond of Yang Yuhuan, often taking her to Luoyang to broaden his horizons, and Yang Yuhuan and his uncle attended the royal wedding together.
As the saying goes: natural beauty is difficult to give up, and it is chosen on the side of the king. At the wedding, Yang Yuhuan met Li Mao, the King of Shou, and Li Mao fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at first sight, and the two fell in love, and soon married, at this time Yang Yuhuan was only seventeen years old.
At that time, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's favorite concubine Wu Huifei wanted Li Mao to be the crown prince, and the Wu family and the Yang family intermarried for generations, and at the request of Wu Huifei, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji issued an edict to appoint Yang Guifei as Princess Shou, and Yang Guifei was thus integrated into the Tang imperial family.
In 737, Wu Huifei died, and Wu Huifei's death made Tang Xuanzong depressed, and some ministers often introduced women to him in order to please Tang Xuanzong, but he did not like it. By chance, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji fell in love with Yang Yuhuan, who was still his daughter-in-law at the time.
She was made a noble concubine
In 740 AD, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji led the imperial family to Lishan To soak in the hot springs, and tang Xuanzong inadvertently saw Princess Shou's appearance when she was soaking in the hot springs, so he developed a strong feeling for Princess Shou.
As we all know, the royal family and nobles of the Tang Dynasty have the blood of the Hu people, and the national style of the Tang Dynasty is open, and it is not uncommon for fathers to marry daughters-in-law.
At this time, Yang Yuhuan was after all a princess of Shou, and if she wanted to spoil Yang Yuhuan, she had to wash away her previous identity, and Li Longji planned to send Yang Yuhuan to the Taoist temple to become a monk and wash away her identity as a princess.
In order to make up for Li Mao, the King of Shou, Li Longji of Tang Xuanzong found a woman of noble status and prominent status for him as a princess.
In just four years, Yang Yuhuan was made a noble concubine, and there was no empress in Li Longji's harem, so Li Longji favored Yang Guifei alone, Li Longji was more dedicated than Li Mao, the king of Shou, and could understand the minds of women, and was more mature than Li Mao, the king of Shou.
The spring supper rises for a short day, and the king does not go to the throne from now on. The "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era" was the result of the joint efforts of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and the ministers, the economy was prosperous, the national strength was strong, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was satisfied with such brilliant achievements, and immersed himself in the lights and wine with Yang Guifei all day, never asking about state affairs.
These things that Li Longji did were all seen by the ministers, who had followed Li Longji for many years, but now they felt that they no longer knew the current Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and all the clan towns in various places were inquiring into the security of Chang'an City, and the decline of the Tang Dynasty was coming.
The ghost of the undead under the slope of the horse ridge
An Lushan, as a favorite of Emperor Taizong of Tang, sent troops to attack Chang'an on the pretext of suppressing Yang Guozhong, and when the rebels invaded Tongguan, There was nothing to defend Chang'an City. In desperation, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji fled to Chang'an City with Yang Guifei, the imperial nobles, and the escort soldiers.
When Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and his party arrived at Ma Songpo, the soldiers could not suppress the resentment in their hearts, and pointed their spearheads at Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei, although Tang Xuanzong Li Longji tried his best to explain, but the soldiers' emotions were extremely angry.
At this time, The Gaolishi beside Tang Xuanzong Li Longji said to him: "If you don't kill Yang Guifei, I'm afraid these soldiers will kill you too." Helplessly, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji had no choice but to take Yang Guifei to the ancestral hall. "The Sixth Army does not send helplessness, like a moth to die before the horse."
In order to protect her most beloved, Yang Guifei accepted the request of the soldiers. Under the pear tree in front of the ancestral hall, Gao Lishi strangled Yang Guifei with a white aya, and a few minutes later Yang Guifei's life stopped at the age of thirty-eight.
Everyone in the world regarded Tang Xuanzong Li Longji as an emperor, only Yang Guifei regarded him as her husband, and the people who loved him could not be together forever and became the regret of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's life.
However, Yang Guifei's death has always been controversial, and after the Anshi Rebellion was put down, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji once returned to Ma Songpo again to look for Yang Guifei's body, but the painstaking search did not find it.
Wild history rumors that Yang Guifei did not really die, but fled to Japan, and some people believe that Yang Guifei died in the rebellion, or was properly arranged by Gao Lishi, these statements are not recorded in the main history, in the folk one ten, ten passed on a hundred, some people over time to take it seriously.
In fact, yang guifei's death is recorded in the main history and the "Long Hate Song". When Yang Guifei's coffin was unearthed, the body in the coffin was no longer clear and the surface of her skin bag had become very blurred after the wear and tear of time, and it was difficult to confirm whether this corpse was Yang Guifei or not.
After painstaking research by the expert team, it was found that the sachet given to Yang Guifei by Tang Xuanzong was still in the coffin, and the expert team initially deduced that this was yang Guifei's remains, but the research still needed to continue, perhaps in the future exploration, the experts would give a convincing answer, and the emergence of this news made the records in the wild history self-defeating.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's later years were desolate, first losing his beloved, and then being put under house arrest by Tang Suzong Li Heng, lonely, lonely and lonely often surrounded Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's side. Soon after, he passed away, and with it the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty that never returned.
Perhaps in Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song", the best destination for Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Yang Guifei is "to be a bird in heaven and a bird in the earth".
