The world laments the bittersweet and bittersweet nature of love.
"Why does everyone have a different evaluation of love?"
The most exquisite answer is, "The time that love appears in your life stage determines your subsequent understanding and evaluation of it." ”
The love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan deduced the above questions and answers.
As we all know, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji loved Yang Guifei, there were tens of thousands of harem beauties, and there were many women with outstanding appearances, so why could Yang Guifei grasp Li Longji's heart and make him love himself deeply?
According to historical records, Li Longji would play a game called "holding a mallet" with Yang Yuhuan every day after the next dynasty, and looking at the harem, only Yang Yuhuan's technique was skillful, which was in line with Li Longji's appetite.
Is it just because of beauty? Or is Yang Yuhuan playing "gripping the mallet" well? In fact, there are deeper reasons behind this.
Yang Guifei appeared, and Tang Xuanzong walked out of the shadow of his widow
According to the positive description of the historical data, Yang Yuhuan looks like a closed moon and shy flowers, sinks fish and falls geese, and is a beautiful child with rich grace, which can also be seen from her special identity.
When Li Longji's original wife, Wu Huifei, was alive, he had never seen Yang Yuhuan until a few years after Wu Huifei's death, when Yang Yuhuan appeared in Li Longji's life.
Stills – Concubine Wu
Prior to this, Yang Yuhuan had been the wife of Li Mao, the King of Shou, and Li Mao was Li Longji's own son, and from this relationship alone, Yang Yuhuan was Li Longji's daughter-in-law.
In the Tang Dynasty, where the feudal etiquette system was so strict, an emperor who was more than half a hundred years old could take his daughter-in-law for himself even if he fell out with his son, then the beauty of this daughter-in-law could be imagined.
After the death of his original wife, Concubine Wu Huifei, Li Longji became distraught and depressed, and even had no time to take care of the government, endlessly indulging himself and sinking into eating, drinking, and having fun.
Every day after the fall of the dynasty, he faced the beauty of the harem beauty and fell into meditation, "Who should be spoiled tonight?" ”
These concubines are all beautiful billets, and they are knowledgeable and beautiful, and they speak softly, as if carved out of a mold.
In order to avoid choice, Li Longji thought of many interesting methods.
The concubines lined up, planted a flower on their heads, and then waited for the butterflies around them to pounce. Whichever concubine has a butterfly on her head first, she will be favored by the emperor tonight.
After getting tired of playing this method, Li Longji changed his play method.
He had the concubines teach them to play cards, and whoever was the winner in the end, he spoiled them tonight.
This situation lasted for several years, and later, under the recommendation of Colliers, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan began to know each other, and only this side, Li Longji once again fell in love.
Yang Yuhuan fascinated Tang Xuanzong, and there was a trick in it
Yang Yuhuan is a smart woman, she knows that beauty will fade with age, and the young beauties of the harem will always exist, and beauty alone cannot enjoy Li Longji's favor for a long time.
She began to inquire about the people who had served the emperor, and found out Li Longji's preferences, the most important of which attracted her attention was the popular "holding the hammer" game.
"Grip" is a board game, similar to today's flying chess, which determines the number of moves the pieces move by the number of points in which the color is thrown.
As an emperor, Li Longji is a top master in terms of power strategy, and his mind is naturally very meticulous, so he is very good at the game of "holding the hammer".
When the concubines in the harem were favored, they would occasionally play this game with the emperor, but because they were too "stupid", they often lost the game before they took a few steps.
As a result, Lee Longkiton felt bored, and in most cases he returned home in disappointment. In the long run, he did not play this kind of game again from the concubines, until Yang Yuhuan appeared, and things took a turn for the better.
Yang Yuhuan immersed himself in studying the "grip" for a while, mastered the doorway inside, and began to challenge Li Longji. At first, Li Longji only played with her with great interest, he thought she would lose quickly, and gradually, the chess game became more and more strange, Li Longji had to think about every step he took, he looked at Aifei, and the love in his eyes was even stronger.
In order to maintain the skin that can be broken by blowing bombs, Yang Yuhuan often uses a drug called "polypsy muscle pills", which can be placed on the navel eye to relieve aging. But this thing is also harmful, the musk it emits will lead to damage to the woman's reproductive function, so some scholars boldly speculate that the reason why Yang Guifei was deeply favored by the emperor for more than ten years but never got pregnant was the consequences of long-term use of "reocrement pills".
The deep-seated reason why Tang Xuanzong favored Yang Guifei
In addition to being beautiful and proficient in "holding the hammer", there is a more important reason why Yang Yuhuan is favored, that is, she appeared in Li Longji's life at the right time.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, as the seventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty, created the Kaiyuan dynasty, such an emperor with great talent, he would be an indecisive person when he was young? Obviously not, in other words, the basic quality of the emperor's heir is to be fierce when necessary, let alone indulge in the love of children.
When Li Longji was full of spirits, he planned the Tang Long coup and cut off his uncle Li Xian's family, leaving no descendants behind. In order to consolidate his power, he launched a coup d'état at all costs, and then personally killed his aunt Princess Taiping.
If we briefly summarize Li Longji's life, the first half of his life was busy with the imperial cause, and the second half of his life was devoted to spiritual enjoyment.
According to relevant historical records, once Yang Guifei found out which concubine Li Longji spoiled, she would gamble, play temper in front of the emperor, and even run back to her mother's house alone.
Concubines and emperors gambled with each other in a handful of Chinese histories, which also shows Li Longji's spoiling of Yang Yuhuan from the side.
To put it another way, if Tang Xuanzong met Yang Guifei when he was young, when he had the great cause of the empire in his heart, how could he be so obsessed with a concubine, even if Yang Yuhuan fell in love with the country, he would not have won so much favor, and it was impossible to anger the emperor when he played a small temper, so that he endangered his life.
