In November of the fourteenth year of the Tang Dynasty (755 CE), An Lushan, who was also the envoy of the three towns of Youzhou, Fanyang, and Lulong, rebelled with his general Shi Siming at Fanyang (in present-day southwestern Beijing) under the name of "Qing Jun's side, crusading against the traitor Yang Guozhong". He commanded an army of 200,000 (known as 1 million), which was invincible and invincible, and soon captured the eastern capital Luoyang. In the first month of the following year, he established himself as Emperor Xiongwu, the national name was Great Yan, changed to Yuan Shengwu, and then sent an army to attack the Tongguan Heavenly Danger, and in June, the soldiers pointed to Chang'an.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled west with his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan and more than a thousand other generals to the west and marched to Ma Songpo (in present-day west of Xingping County, Shaanxi) where soldiers mutinied, Yang Guifei was forced to hang herself, and all of Yang's brothers and sisters were cursed. The Anshi Rebellion, which almost ruined the Li-Tang Dynasty, was a turning point in the Tang Dynasty's rise and fall, and after the rebellion was quelled, the country's vitality was seriously damaged, the economy was severely damaged, and the glory of the Yuan Dynasty was never restored, which indirectly led to the demise of the Tang Dynasty. And Yang Yuhuan did not expect that until her death, forcing her to die of incense and jade, the soul of Ma Songpo was actually an adopted son An Lushan who had a history of scandals with her.
An Lu Shan
An Lushan was a Hu man, five years old and three thick, illiterate, and what means did he use to confuse Tang Xuanzong, who was known as the "Lord of Zhongxing"? And how to confuse the great beauty Yang Guifei? An Lushan knew very well that Yang Guifei set three thousand pets in one, "looking back at a smile and a hundred beautiful students, the six palaces pink dai colorless." Winning her favor, she also gained the favor of Emperor Xuanzong, so doing everything possible to please and curry favor with Concubine Yang guifei became the most important diplomatic policy for An Lushan. Regarding the relationship between him and Yang Guifei, the main history says that it is "quite scandalous, and Shang (Xuanzong) is not suspicious", and there are also many records of the ambiguous relationship between Yang Guifei and An Lushan in the wild history, which is inevitably fictional rendering or artistic processing, but it cannot be denied that An Lushan and Yang Guifei did have an extraordinary relationship.
Yang
Every time An Lushan went to see Tang Xuanzong, he first worshipped Yang Guifei and then Tang Xuanzong. Xuanzong couldn't help but wonder and asked why. An Lushan replied, "We Hu people have the custom of going before mother and then father." Emperor Xuanzong was very happy to hear this, and directly praised An Lushan's loyalty. When Emperor Xuanzong gave a banquet to the Hundred Officials of Literature and Martial Arts, he also deliberately set up a large golden rooster tent for An Lushan on the east side of his seat in the Qinzheng Building, so that he could sit there, just like a family. Even the prince thought that he was too spoiled for An Lushan, and feared that something unexpected would happen. The great poet Bai Juyi wrote the poem "Raising a child under the golden rooster barrier", which satirized this matter. "Raising children" was a very popular custom in the Tang Dynasty, but An Lushan was 18 years older than Yang Guifei, but he was willing to give her a son, and Yang Guifei was also safe and calm, which became a rare thing.
This deformed mother-child relationship is unreasonable and inevitable to do absurd things. On the first day of the first lunar month of the tenth year of Tianbao (751 AD), coinciding with An Lushan's birthday, the Xingqing Palace was full of lights and was very lively, and Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei personally presided over the exercise, giving this birthday star a birthday, rewarding many rich gifts, and even the utensils of Shengshan Zhenhai flavor were also given. After three days, Yang Guifei prepared a huge wooden basin and summoned An Lushan into the palace, saying that she wanted to "wash three" for her adopted children. According to ancient Chinese customs, on the third day after birth, babies need to perform a bathing ceremony, called "washing three", also known as "three dynasties washing", mainly for the baby to wash filth, eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, and pray for peace.
Washing three, naturally to take off clothes, as a mother, it is reasonable to wash three for her son. But the dry mother gave the dry son to wash the three, I am afraid that only Yang Guifei is the only one. In particular, the "son" is still a big black fat man who is much older than himself and has long hair. In the midst of the crowd's frolicking, An Lushan finished bathing, and then wrapped him up in a large swaddle specially made of splendid silk satin and placed him on a colored palanquin, carried around in the back garden by 6 strong luxes, singing "Guifei Washing", and Yang Guifei shouted "Lu'er, Lu'er" cheerfully, and the laughter was earth-shaking.
When Tang Xuanzong heard the noise, he was shocked to ask what kind of hall of fame the harem was doing, and reported left and right: "It was the noble concubine Niangniang who held a three-day baptism ceremony for her adopted son An Lushan." Xuanzong put down his official duties and immediately went to the harem to watch, only to see a black fat man of hundreds of pounds, wrapped in a large baby, laughing foolishly, letting the palace people carry around for fun, the scene was quite funny, and people couldn't help but laugh. Emperor Xuanzong did not think so, but instead relished it, and stood by with great interest to stop and watch.
An Lushan was majestic and fat, with a big belly and a belly hanging down to his knees, and the horse he rode on had to weigh 5 stones (about 600 pounds), otherwise the horse would be tired and lie down. Tang Guifei saw more slender and beautiful scholarly men in the Central Plains, but she favored such a fat, strong, rugged and extravagant man outside the country, and An Lushan could not help but go in and out of the palace since then, staying overnight, drinking and having fun with the noble concubines, and the skeleton of the wave, and there were many scandals.
The Tang Dynasty was economically and culturally prosperous, the social environment was open and relaxed, and royal and aristocratic women often wore half-sleeved and tan chest clothes, and liked to show their breasts. Once, An Lushan took Yang Guifei in his arms and kneaded her chest recklessly, even scratching Guifei's crispy breasts out of the tired scars. The noble concubine was worried about the scandal and could not explain it to Xuanzong, so she moved and covered her chest with a red brocade, and her name was "Ha Zi", also known as "Belly Pocket", and other concubines and palace women followed suit, taking this as beauty, which was the original source of the modern bra, and the idiom "Claw of Lushan" was also born. An Lushan once triumphantly said to people: "Noble concubine human milk, smooth as stuffed with crisp!" If there was no adultery between them, how could An Lushan speak such?
Neon feather dance
As we all know, Yang Guifei is "beautiful in posture, good at singing and dancing, transliterative, and intelligent and calculating", and is a versatile beauty. Her neon feather dance is delicate and beautiful. "Luo sleeves are fragrant, and the red ferns are in the autumn smoke" said that it was a gift to the maid Zhang Yunrong, in fact, it was a self-portrait of herself. Most of the Hu people can sing and dance, and are versatile, and An Lushan is no exception. Old Book of Tang. The Biography of An Lushan records that "(Lushan) to Xuanzong's previous work "Hu Xuan Dance" was as fast as the wind. Bai Juyi's poem "Hu XuanNu" also wrote: "There is Taizhen Wailu Mountain, and the two people are the most able to "Hu Xuan"." With his fat figure, he can dance the "fast as the wind" Hu Whirling Dance, indicating that the dance skills are quite good. Coincidentally, Yang Guifei also likes to dance The Huxuan Dance, but there is no suitable dance partner to help her, which often makes her feel desolate. At a court banquet, An Lushan drank a few more drinks, danced a Huxuan dance through wine, dressed naked, and the sound shook the roof tiles, which shocked Yang Guifei, and found that she was still a dance forest master, Yang Guifei found a satisfactory dance partner, the two often practiced dance skills together, and slowly developed feelings, and something happened. In order to facilitate the comings and goings, and to be able to hide the mouth of the people, An Lushan voluntarily raised a child for the noble concubine, and then continued to give gifts to this young mother, once sending treasure specialties worth tens of thousands of taels, only as large as the eggs of the sparrow There are more than 10 jewels, Yang Guifei did not mistake. An Lushan asked her to blow the pillow wind next to Xuanzong, this trick really worked, and from then on, his weight in the emperor's mind became heavier and heavier, not only did he vigorously promote him to a higher rank, but also gave him a death-free iron coupon in June of the seventh year of Tianbao (748 AD); In May of the ninth year of Tianbao, he also made An Lushan the King of Dongping County. Prior to this, the Tang Dynasty generals had not yet been crowned kings, and An Lushan was the first to set this precedent.
Under the infinite connivance and blind protection of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, An Lushan's ambitions swelled, his desire for power was smoked, and he began to dream of coveting the Central Plains and adding yellow robes to his body. "Yuyang Fei came agitatedly and broke the neon dress feather song", a prosperous and powerful era was trampled to pieces by the rolling rebel iron hooves, the people fell into a deep disaster, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei also fell into the tragic end of the country broken, yin and yang separated.
The world is reciting the love story of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, which is poignant and touching, but Yang Yuhuan is still entangled with An Lushan, which is really emotional, whether An Lushan really likes Yang Yuhuan, and what kind of relationship the three of them have, all this has become an eternal mystery. The incense of Aozuka in front of Ma Songpo only attracted posterity to stop and hang, and sighed.
