On July 15, 756, Yang Guifei heard that Yang Guozhong and others had been killed, and she had cried into tears. Suddenly, when he heard the word that he was going to kill her, he suddenly fell to the ground and almost fainted. Gao Lishi brought Yang Guifei to Tang Xuanzong, and Tang Xuanzong's heart was like a knife and tears flowed. Yang Guifei cried and said, "Concubines and Saint Shang will never say goodbye." Subsequently, Gao Lishi took Yang Guifei to the Buddhist hall, and Yang Guifei put her head into the long Aya sleeve, her feet were suspended in the air, and she died of exhaustion at the age of 38.
Yang Guifei's name is Yang Yuhuan, and she is one of the four beauties of ancient times. She is beautiful and rich, good at singing and dancing, and has a rhythm. In his early years, he married Li Xuan (李琩), the King of Shou, as a concubine, and was later made a noble concubine by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who was very favored by Emperor Xuanzong, who once said to the harem people: "If you have Yang Guifei, if you have the most precious treasure". However, it was Yang Guifei, who was so favored, who was later given to death, what was going on?
At that time, Yang Guifei was favored, and the Yang family was also very powerful. Yang Guifei's eldest sister was named Lady of Korea, the third sister was named Lady Guoguo, and the eighth sister was named Lady Qin Guo, each giving 100,000 yuan per month.
Yang Guifei's brothers were all given high-ranking officials, and her distant brother Yang Zhao, who was originally a rogue in the city, was later given the name Guozhong by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and held more than ten positions in the branch lang, manipulating the government. Xuanzong toured Huaqingchi, with the five families of the Yang family as his subordinates, each family had a team, wearing a colored dress, and the five families were in a team, which was colorful. Jewelry is dropped everywhere along the way, and the luxury is incomparable. The Yang family married two princesses and two county lords, and Tang Xuanzong also personally wrote for the Yang family and the temple stele of the Chu Shu family.
Later, as the Yang family's status increased, their courage also grew, and they not only accepted bribes, but they even rode on the head of the royal family.
The New Book of Tang records: "Entering and leaving the palace, the flame of grace shook the world." Every time a woman entered the class, Princess Zhiying and so on did not dare to take the throne, and Princess Jianping and Xincheng second princesses fought with the concubines to chase after the internal seals, and the lieutenants of the horse were lonely and lost their official positions. ”
That is to say, the emperor's sister could only give up her seat in front of the three ladies and did not dare to sit down, and Princess Xincheng, the daughter of Tang Xuanzong, was reduced to being returned to the inner palace to give things away because of her contradictions with the Yang family, and if she did not deal with it again, I am afraid that the Jiangshan would become the Yang family.
Once, Tang Xuanzong was angry and drove Yang Guifei back home. Some people said that this was Tang Xuanzong's desire to destroy the prestige of the Yang family. Sure enough, the Yang family panicked, and Yang Guifei washed her face with tears all day long.
However, not long after, Xuanzong sent Gao Lishi to take Yang Guifei back to the palace. Yang Guifei knew that Tang Xuanzong could not do without her, so she was even more arrogant, and the Yang family "did not ask questions when entering and leaving the forbidden door, and the chief officials of the Beijing Division looked at it sideways."
Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song" has a saying: "Sisters and brothers are all in the soil, and poor and glorious people are born of portals; so they order the hearts of the parents of the world not to be born again men and women." That is to say, because Yang Guifei was favored, her brothers and sisters were all knighted because of this, full of wealth and envy, so that the parents at that time did not pay attention to the birth of men and women!
In addition, Du Fu's "Soldier Carriage Line" has a saying: "Faith knows that men are evil, but it is better to give birth to women." The child Judah had to marry his neighbor, and the boy buryed the grass. This also rebuked Tang Xuanzong for his poor military strength, causing the abnormality of "not being born again male and female" at that time.
It can be seen that in the era of Tang Xuanzong, the social situation was already very grim.
In 755, An Lushan raised an army in the name of the Qing Emperor's side and anti-Yang Guozhong, and the soldiers pointed directly at Chang'an, which was called "'An Shi Rebellion'"
The following year, Tang Xuanzong fled to Shuzhong with Yang Guifei and Yang Guozhong and others, passing through Ma Songyi, when Gao Lishi suddenly reported that Yang Guozhong's father and son and Lady Han had been killed by the forbidden army, and Tang Xuanzong was horrified.
Wei Fang, the Imperial Master, went in and out to inspect, only to see that the Forbidden Army had hung Yang Guozhong's head outside the gate of the pavilion and was cutting the flesh on his body. Wei Fangjin shouted, "How dare you kill the Prime Minister?" Before he could finish speaking, the crowd rushed up and cut Wei Fangjin into several pieces.
Tongping Zhangshi Wei Jiansu came out to inspect, but was also beaten covered in blood, and returned to Yizhong to report to Xuanzong, who had no idea.
Outside the noise was non-stop, Gao Lishi asked Tang Xuanzong to personally go out to comfort, Tang Xuanzong was hard-headed, went out to comfort the sergeant, let them close the team, but the sergeant still surrounded the pavilion, did not obey the order, provoked Xuanzong was also anxious, so he let Gao Lishi go out to ask Chen Xuanli what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuanli replied: "Since yang Guozhong, the chaotic minister, has already surrendered to the fa, the noble concubine should not still serve at the emperor's side, and ask the emperor to correct the law and concubine." ”
It turned out that after Tang Xuanzong and his party fled to Ma Songyi, the entourage of soldiers was hungry and tired, and they were resentful. The general Chen Xuanli believed that the chaos in the world was caused by Yang Guozhong, and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him, Yang Guozhong fled to the west gate of Ma Songyi, was chased and killed by soldiers, and dismembered his body, hung his head outside the west gate to show the public, and then killed Yang Guozhong's son.
At this time, Gao Lishi heard the crowd say that he wanted to correct Yang Guifei, and he wondered: "I am afraid that this is not convenient to ask for advice." ”
Unexpectedly, after the sergeants listened, they shouted together: "Don't kill Yang Guifei, swear not to escort." As he spoke, he beat Goles. Gao Lishi saw the situation and hurriedly returned to report to Tang Xuanzong. After Tang Xuanzong heard this, he was stunned, calmed his face, and did not say a word.
Jing Zhao si lu Wei Chen, who was wei Jiansu's son, was also escorting him at the time, and he knelt down and played: "The anger of the people is difficult to commit, and the safety is only in one thought, please make a quick decision your majesty." ”
Tang Xuanzong hesitated, and the noise outside became louder and louder, and the soldiers were about to rush into the door. Wei Chen knelt on the ground and prostrated his head in plea, blood flowing. Xuanzong was helpless and said, "That's it! That's it! ”
At this time, Colliers staggered in and reported: "The sergeant has broken in, and if Your Majesty does not make a decision, they will kill the noble concubines themselves." ”
Tang Xuanzong burst into tears, and half a genius said, "I can't care less about Concubine Guifei, so you can pass on the will for You, and give Guifei guifei to commit suicide!" ”
After Gao Lishi heard this, he took the noble concubine to the Buddhist hall and committed suicide. So there was the opening scene, the 38-year-old Yang Guifei was given death!
After Yang Guifei's death, the crowd immediately cheered like thunder, disarmed, prostrated their heads and apologized, shouted long live three times, and then dispersed.
Afterwards, Tang Xuanzong cried bitterly at Yang Guifei's corpse, and then ordered someone to bury it under the slope of Ma Song.
This is the allusion to the "Long Hate Song" that "the Six Armies do not send helplessness, like a moth and die before the horse".
The death of the noble concubine, the Old Book of Tang records: Sui Han died in the Buddhist chamber. This statement is also used in the Zizhi Tongjian, and the New Book of Tang is roughly the same as the Old Book of Tang. It can be seen that Yang Guifei did die in Ma Songpo, and it is said that Yang Guifei did not die, which may be a wish of the people!
