Yang Yuhuan this person, in history is very famous, objectively speaking, although she has beauty, but her contribution or value in history is not as big as the four beauties of Wang Zhaojun or marten cicada, Yang Yuhuan is famous, the main reason is that she married Li Longji of Tang Xuanzong, and there are too many stories between her and Li Longji.
In many stories between the two, there are many scandals between Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan, and some are even recorded in the main history, such as Yang Yuhuan's "washing three" for An Lushan, Sima Guang is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian", many people are more confused, why does Li Longji obviously know that Yang Yuhuan bathed An Lushan, but did not stop it?
Yang Yuhuan washed three for An Lushan
An Lushan was originally just a relatively business-minded Hu person, and later yin and yang mistakes and then the prime minister Li Linfu was involved, Li Linfu was a traitor, a total of 19 years as prime minister, in order to achieve long-term control of the situation in the entire government, so he introduced An Lushan, using An Lushan, a Hu person who had an unstable foundation among the Han courtiers and had little influence, to balance some powerful ministers, so that Li Linfu could continue to dominate the family.
The reason why Li Linfu dared to do this is mainly because he has absolute strength and confidence to control An Lushan, for example, Li Linfu arranged a lot of eyeliner to monitor An Lushan's every move, as long as there is any wind and grass in An Lushan, Li Linfu knows everything, An Lushan is unknown, so he also thinks that Li Linfu can pinch and calculate, and he is very afraid of Li Linfu, when Li Linfu was alive, although An Lushan was already in power, he did not dare to act rashly, and could only be a man with his tail between his legs. Tang Xuanzong was naturally unlikely to realize an An Lushan's threat to him.
The reason why Li Longji would start to reuse An Lushan, in addition to Li Linfu's recommendation, was that Li Longji was not at ease with the crown prince Li Heng at that time, so he hoped that there would be a powerful minister who was not a Han chen to help him balance the crown prince Li Heng. In fact, Li Longji was not at ease with any prince, and his suspicions and suspicions had caused too much estrangement between Li Longji and his own sons, for example, because of The frame-up of Concubine Wu before, Li Longji actually directly killed Li Ju and three other sons.
On the road of competing for imperial power, Li Longji has gone through too many bloody storms, whether it was the Shenlong coup of that year, or the TangLong coup, Li Longji was deeply impressed, it was not easy to go through so many coups before he became an emperor, such a hard-won imperial power, of course, Li Longji can not easily give it to others, even if it is his own son.
Under Li Longji's desire to protect the imperial power, An Lushan was successfully reused by Li Longji, and constantly became the jiedu envoy of the three towns of Pinglu, Hedong, and Fanyang, with 190,000 troops in his hands, equivalent to one-third of the total strength of the Tang Dynasty's jiedushi at that time.
At this time, Li Longji stole the day from his son Li Mao to change the day and turned his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan into his own Yang Guifei, the two talked about literature and art all day long, so unhappy, for the development of the government and the situation at that time, Li Longji completely lost the insight of his youth, he was just immersed in happiness, and he did not know that An Lushan had become his biggest hidden danger.
What is even more tragic is that because An Lushan, a big fat man of three hundred pounds, danced very flexibly, Li Longji admired An Lushan for the first time when he saw him dancing, and later let his beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan dance together to help everyone, that is, in the process of dancing, the relationship between An Lushan, who was more than forty years old, and Yang Yuhuan, who was twenty-five years old, changed.
An Lushan actually recognized Yang Yuhuan as a dry mother, and when he saw Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, he actually only worshipped Yang Yuhuan, and said that this was the custom of the Hu people, and Li Longji did not say much about it, that is, these connivances, which led yang Yuhuan to adopt the method of "washing three" in order to recognize this dry son according to the customs of the Hu people.
Washing three in the Hu people, is a mother to the birth of the child bathing a ceremony, did not expect that the 25-year-old Yang Yuhuan actually in accordance with the Hu customs to the 45-year-old 300 pounds of fat Man An Lushan to wash three, more surprising is that Li Longji also personally went to see the scene of the two people washing three, and then smiled and left, seems to be very happy and satisfied.
After washing the third, An Lushan often freely entered and exited Yang Yuhuan's palace, and sometimes the two talked until midnight, and Sima Guang said that many people in the palace had rumored that there was a scandal between Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan, and even said that Yang Yuhuan had a scratch on his body.
We can imagine how it is that Yang Yuhuan is sitting in a palanquin, and sometimes there is a scene of "Lu'er, Lu'er" calling out to An Lushan, how addictive it is, if it is replaced by an ordinary man, whether there is anything between An Lushan and Yang Yuhuan, it is impossible not to care, but Li Longji is still an emperor, why would he not care?
Why doesn't Li Longji care?
In fact, Li Longji really did not care about the things between An Lushan and Yang Yuhuan, and when he washed the third, Li Longji personally went to see it, and then left with a smile, the main reason why he was able to leave with a smile came from the openness and tolerance of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
As we all know, after the efforts of Li Longji when he was young, coupled with the foundation of the original rule of zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, so in the hands of Li Longji, the most prosperous Kaiyuan prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty appeared, and the development of this point, the openness and tolerance of the Tang Dynasty have reached its peak, at that time, only foreigners appeared in Chang'an to live or play, do business There were hundreds of countries, different cultures were intertwined, and the people of the Tang Dynasty had gradually become accustomed to it.
It is in such an inclusive cultural atmosphere, Li Longji's tolerance as an emperor is naturally even more different, for example, for An Lushan's tolerance of Hu people and Hu culture, it is the most obvious, An Lushan only worships his mother Yang Yuhuan according to Hu customs, but does not worship Emperor Li Longji, Tang Xuanzong was able to tolerate at that time, and later Yang Yuhuan bathed An Lushan in accordance with the Hu people's "washing three" customs, Li Longji of course can also tolerate, in Li Longji's view, this is a normal ceremony for a mother to wash three for her son. It's not as complicated as we think.
Of course, to say that before washing the third Li Longji was because of tolerance, so he did not care about Yang Yuhuan to give An Lushan a bath, then later An Lushan often went in and out of Yang Yuhuan's palace, and did not leave until the middle of the night, rumors spread in the palace, at this time Li Longji still did not care, presumably it was not so simple as tolerance.
In my opinion, in the later period, Li Longji did not care about the gossip between Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan, mainly from three reasons, the first aspect was Li Longji's confidence in An Lushan's fans, he firmly believed that An Lushan was just an ordinary Hu person, his foundation in the DPRK was unstable, and he definitely did not dare to rebel or offend himself.
After having this kind of self-confidence, even though Gao Lishi and others have repeatedly stressed the need to clean up An Lushan and prevent the raising of tigers from being troubled, Li Longji still does not believe it, even if there is a scandal between An Lushan and Yang Yuhuan, Li Longji also feels that they do not have the guts to do so, they have no fear, and what is even more helpless is that when An Lushan has finally launched the An Shi Rebellion, Li Longji is still unwilling to believe it, until An Lushan is about to hit the foot of Chang'an, Li Longji began to believe it, and these details are enough to show Li Longji's self-confidence.
The second aspect is that li Longji's single-minded thought at that time was not whether An Lushan would rebel, nor whether there was a scandal between An Lushan and Yang Yuhuan, what he was bent on thinking about was just to prevent Li Heng from stealing his throne, at the beginning Li Longji reused An Lushan for such a purpose, at this moment it is still the same, for his own imperial power, even if you use Yang Yuhuan, it is not impossible, anyway, Yang Yuhuan is just a beautiful concubine who eats youth rice for himself. There is no poignant love in Bai Juyi's pen.
The third aspect is that at that time, Li Longji was already a little tired of Yang Yuhuan, and during the period when Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan had a scandal, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan's third sister were fighting fiercely, and it was too late to take care of Yang Yuhuan's affairs, and it could even be said that using An Lushan to circumvent Yang Yuhuan and prevent Yang Yuhuan from making trouble with himself was a brilliant trick for Li Longji at that time.
After all, before that, Yang Yuhuan had eaten vinegar several times because of the relationship between Li Longji and his third sister, and sometimes he went directly back to his mother's house in anger, and he needed Li Longji to arrange for GaoLishi to invite him back, as an emperor, Presumably Li Longji was already a little tired of such a life, and he still liked a free and free happy life.
epilogue
Li Longji's feelings for Yang Yuhuan, in fact, can not talk about the longevity of Bai Juyi's mouth, more is just a kind of use, in order to win over An Lushan, Li Longji can use Yang Yuhuan, in order to ensure the safety of his own life, Li Longji can sacrifice Yang Yuhuan in Ma Songpo, it is such a realistic and desperate feeling, but it is a pity, because Of Li Longji's own absolute love, in exchange for Li Heng's desperate love for him in his later years, so that Li Longji finally passed his old age alone, it was very desolate, so it is said: Stay a line as a person, and see each other in the future!
