Sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and shy flowers, the four beauties of ancient China are fascinating, in the records of ancient books, they have top-notch appearances, and the names of the four people are now known to everyone.
Among them, Yang Yuhuan, who has the appearance of a shy flower, is even more well-known, she is the most favored concubine of Tang Xuanzong, and there is a saying that "from now on, the king will not be early".
However, such a beauty finally died in "Ma Weipo", it is really a sigh, but after a thousand years, Yang Yuhuan's mausoleum rediscovered, after careful study by archaeologists, it was found that there are many clues, is it true that the "rumors" thousands of years ago? Yang Yuhuan did not die in Ma Weipo?
A daughter-in-law who was snatched away by her father
Yang Yuhuan was born in 719 AD, Yang Yuhuan was born into a family that is not particularly bad, her ancestors were everyone during the Sui Dynasty, and her biological father Yang Xuanyan was also a local official.
However, the change came as soon as it happened, Yang Yuhuan lost his parents when he was a child, and his parents could only entrust their children to relatives to raise. Yang Yuhuan lived with his uncle Yang Xuanji's family, and gradually grew from a little girl to a big girl.
During this period, they left Shuzhou and came to live in Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, where the prosperity was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Yang Yuhuan also expanded what he saw and heard in Luoyang.
As a woman, Yang Yuhuan will also learn some singing, dancing and socializing, her beauty is beginning to show in the process of growing up, and she already has the appearance of a beauty at a young age.
When Yang Yuhuan was fifteen years old, Tang Xuanzong's daughter Princess Xianyi got married, Tang Xuanzong's son Li Mao participated in the send-off, Yang Yuhuan also participated, Li Mao fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at a glance, and Yang Yuhuan became Li Mao's wife and concubine.
After marriage, the two respected each other like guests, lived a harmonious and happy life, Yang Yuhuan lived a few years of stable time, but never thought that his beauty had become the cause of a turning point in his life.
During the reign of Tang Xuanzong, the relationship with the queen was quite deep, Tang Xuanzong liked the queen very much, but their relationship did not last long, and the queen died of illness, which made Tang Xuanzong sad.
During that time, Tang Xuanzong has not been able to get out of the haze, but as an emperor, how can he be stumped by a relationship, in order to help Tang Xuanzong solve problems, someone made a statement to him, saying that there is a beauty, beautiful as a flower, can let her enter the palace.
Tang Xuanzong listened to his words and was curious about what kind of beauty could be in the world, so he summoned Yang Yuhuan into the palace. Tang Xuanzong looked at it very much, and he tried every means to put Yang Yuhuan in his harem.
Enter the palace and become a concubine
How beautiful is Yang Yuhuan? The poems of Li Bai and Bai Juyi well interpret her beauty: "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color", "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon."
But Yang Yuhuan's identity is very embarrassing, she is her son's concubine, how bad it is to say. But at the moment of beauty, how could Tang Xuanzong be willing to put Yang Yuhuan back?
Yang Yuhuan cut his hair to become a nun, and Li Mao had a new wife and concubine, so Tang Xuanzong naturally included Yang Yuhuan in the harem and became one of his many concubines.
Yang Yuhuan is also very open-minded, he is at peace when he comes, and he can't make any changes, so he might as well be open. So when Yang Yuhuan generously showed his singing, dancing and beauty, Tang Xuanzong couldn't take his eyes off it.
This is a phenomenon, Tang Xuanzong completely walked out of the grief of the queen's death, but turned around and indulged in the gentle township of Yang Yuhuan. Because of her favor, although Yang Yuhuan was only a concubine at that time, no one in the palace dared to despise her. In addition to not having the title of queen, she has almost everything she should have.
How much Tang Xuanzong favored Yang Yuhuan, everyone can also get a glimpse of it from the works of Tang Dynasty poets. "When the concubine laughs on the red dust, no one knows that it is a lychee", "The spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will not be early from now on". And Tang Xuanzong also composed a song for Yang Yuhuan himself, called "Ni Clothes and Feather Clothes Song".
Yang Yuhuan is so favored in the palace, her family naturally can't have nothing. We often say that "if one person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", it is almost perfectly applied to Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan intervened in politics
She has an incomparable status in Tang Xuanzong's harem, and her family's status has also risen. My sister was named a lady, and her relatives also became officials in the court and became celebrities in front of the emperor, including Yang Yuhuan's distant cousin Yang Guozhong.
Yang Guozhong, Zizhao. He took advantage of Yang Guifei's east wind, and after entering Chang'an, he first let himself join the army, and then offered money and goods to Yang Yuhuan.
However, this batch of goods was not given by Yang Guozhong, but given by Yang Guozhong instead of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and it was with Zhang Qiu and Qiong that Yang Guozhong was able to come to Chang'an and receive Zhang Qiu and Qiong's goods, Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guozhong planned together, so that the people who brought them benefits could achieve the position of the head of the household.
Yes, although Yang Yuhuan is in the harem, she can use her ability to interfere in the government, which is very terrifying. And this is just one of them, Yang Yuhuan also helped Zhang Jiuzhang get promoted.
Originally, he was just a strategic envoy of the Lingnan Economy, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, and it seemed that he wanted to stay in this position for the rest of his life, which was not the result he wanted, but he couldn't find any breakthrough to let him have this opportunity, and it wasn't until Yang Yuhuan appeared that he saw hope.
He began to search for folk treasures and gave them to Yang Yuhuan, hoping to get promoted. I have to say that Zhang Jiuzhang is on the right path, Zhang Jiuzhang, who has not shown signs of promotion for many years, was directly promoted to three levels in a row.
However, fortunately, these did not have much impact on the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone must know the real impact - An Lushan.
An Lushan is an ambitious person, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, in the case of Yang Yuhuan being extremely favored, An Lushan directly recognized Yang Yuhuan, who was younger than himself, as his godmother, as soon as this godfather came out, how could Tang Xuanzong not respect An Lushan.
Giving up face, An Lushan got almost everything, but unfortunately, the more he got, the greater his appetite. He began to think more, and it was under such circumstances that the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
The change of Ma Weipo
Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan raised tigers, An Lushan raised troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and what is even more ridiculous is that the imperial court was not prepared at all, and was caught off guard, and almost collapsed.
However, Tang Xuanzong has been the emperor for many years, and the means are still there, he immediately asked all parties to send troops to crusade against An Lushan.
However, this plan was finally abandoned, because the emperor personally requisitioned it, and the government needed the prince's temporary jurisdiction, and the prince's rights would be enlarged at that time, which was not the result that Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guozhong wanted to see.
So Yang Yuhuan blew the wind on the pillow again, and Tang Xuanzong finally gave up his plan to go to the army. Yang Yuhuan's repeated interference in the government made many people very dissatisfied with her, they were dedicated to the country, but Yang Yuhuan said that he could make the emperor change his mind by speaking, which was simply ridiculous.
The war continued to spread, and it seemed that it had reached a critical moment, Chang'an was no longer safe, and Tang Xuanzong, as the lord of a country, was escorted to escape, and they were embarrassed on the way, which increased everyone's anger.
In Ma Weipo, there was a commotion in the three armies, and Chen Xuanli, who was the general of the Praetorian Guard, couldn't help it anymore, he used his influence to let his subordinates kill Yang Guozhong and others, and then forced Tang Xuanzong to make Yang Yuhuan, who "brought disaster to the country and the people", disappear.
Even though Tang Xuanzong was reluctant, he understood that he could only let go, he couldn't bear it, and let others take Yang Yuhuan to the Buddhist hall to hang himself, and Yang Yuhuan's life came to an end.
Didn't Yang Yuhuan die in Ma Weipo?
However, there are many folk legends about Yang Yuhuan's death, and in people's mouths, Yang Yuhuan did not die, but secretly escaped.
However, most people scoff at these rumors. In that case, if Yang Yuhuan hadn't died, it was really hard to say what the situation would have become.
And legends are just legends, people are dead when they die, and these news are also drowned in the long river of time. But after archaeologists opened the tomb of Yang Guifei thousands of years later, it seems that these rumors are not groundless.
The gold, silver and jewelry in the cemetery were all stolen, and the coffin where Yang Guifei was buried was only a few scattered fragments and shabby clothes, and there were no parts about the human body.
This makes archaeologists puzzled, as long as the person is in the coffin, there will be traces of the existence of the human body no matter what, but there is nothing here except clothes, could it be that the rumors that have been circulated for thousands of years are true?
Under people's careful study, it seems that there is really a follow-up to Yang Guifei. Japan's Yamaguchi Momoe claimed to be a descendant of Yang Guifei, and Japanese historians also came up with relevant documents.
They said that Yang Guifei was really beautiful, so Li Longji secretly sent Yang Yuhuan to Japan, and a maid died in place of Yang Yuhuan. But whether this is true or not, after such a long time, it is impossible to verify it at all.
However, there is indeed a tomb of Yang Guifei in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, and we look forward to finding more evidence to restore the historical appearance in the future.
