In July 756, the eunuch Gao Lishi, who had never touched a woman, held a plump middle-aged woman, and slowly put her big head on the white silk, and the woman's face was hideous, and finally he kicked a few times, and soon there was no movement.
(Information source: Tianyan News, 2020-03-06, "Yang Yuhuan's Misfortune")
The Tang Dynasty, a prosperous generation, was brilliant. In this peaceful and prosperous era, there is a tragedy brewing with deep palace walls.
When Tang Xuanzong was young, he could still be called a generation of masters, ruthless in innovation, and dedicated to building the Tang Dynasty into a strong and prosperous empire. However, who would have thought that the graceful figure of a warm-scented nephrite would make this battle-hardened king fall into it, and it would be difficult to extricate himself.
The beauty Yang Yuhuan is the leader of the Yang family, and she has been the pearl of her ancestors' favor since she was a child. The country is beautiful, the talent is peerless, and the future is immeasurable. She has a prominent family background, and she originally had no fear, but unexpectedly, a marriage was born, which made her fall into the whirlpool of strife, and her fate was unpredictable.
She married Li Mao, the king of Shou, and met Xuanzong at a palace banquet. Since then, the fame of Yang's beauty has spread all over the palace walls. Gao Lishi, the personal eunuch, even exaggerated it, and made Xuanzong's heart so much that there was nowhere to hide.
So, Xuanzong made a desperate gamble and included Yang Yuhuan in the harem. For a time, Chang'an City was full of down-and-out and grieving Li family drinking and hating Chang'an water. It's a pity that King Shou was not as favored by the emperor after all, so he had to leave with grief and give up his beloved wife and children.
Since the day he entered the palace, Yang Yuhuan has become a unique treasure in the eyes of Xuanzong. I saw that this Ming Jun was full of spring breeze, smiling at Yan Yun, and he was alone beside Yang Guifei, so he looked radiant and intimate. It's like a world away, and I don't know the heroic generals of the past.
As a result, the Yang family rose from this and became a wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty. From the Zhongshu order Yang Guozhong, down to Yang Guifei's brother-in-law, An Lushan, who is brave and good at fighting, all of them have been cast by Juen. The power is tilted towards the opposition.
An Lushan is even more knowledgeable and groveling, deliberately wooing family affection with Yang Guifei, submissive to Xuanzong, holding the power of the government and the opposition, and doing whatever he wants. And so on, all out of Xuanzong's favor, so that he almost caused chaos in the court.
However, at that time, Yang Guifei, with a red face in the world, only knew that she was immersed in the emperor's doting, and turned a deaf ear to the power struggle between the government and the opposition, and did not care. She is willing to be a peony in the spring boudoir, and her lover Xuanzong is living in both houses, the spring breeze is blowing, holding the hand of the son, and the son is nestling.
However, no one expected that this farce of the Tang Palace's clutch and pain would be staged to such a point.
In 756 AD, the Tang army suffered a major disaster, and An Lushan ignited a war. The court was in turmoil, and Xuanzong, who had abandoned treasures, fled in a hurry and fled with his concubine.
Yang Guifei is no longer the gentle wife of the family, her father Yang Guozhong is a blessing and a disaster, and he is scolded by the people. At the critical juncture, Yang Guozhong was even more helpless, afraid that his daughter would be affected, and shouted for help.
Xuanzong and Yang Guifei fled halfway, and Yang Guozhong, who was stubborn and self-serving, was finally humiliated and killed in Ma Weiyi, and his wife and children could not escape. Between life and death, the survivors' hatred for Yang Guifei began to grow.
As the culprit, Yang Guozhong has been killed, but Yang Guifei is still serving by Xuanzong's side, how can this make people's hearts feel at ease? General Chen Xuanli first waved his flag and shouted, demanding that Xuanzong quickly get rid of this eternal sinner.
Under internal and external troubles, Xuanzong held his neck to protect his beloved Yang Guifei and refused to obey. How can he give up his beloved in times of crisis? Yang Yuhuan cried to death, and Xuanzong's heart was full of holes.
In the end, under the persuasion of Gao Lishi, the personal eunuch, Xuanzong finally made the decision to cut his love - to give Bai Aya to Yang Guifei, and ordered Gao Lishi to execute it with his own hands, ending this scandal.
The 38-year-old Yang Yuhuan died in the arms of Gao Lishi in this way, becoming a palace case for the ages. And Gao Lishi, the eunuch who was supposed to be hard-hearted, hugged a woman for the first time in the world, but at the moment when he deprived her of life.
So, while calming the morale of the army, it also ended forever a heroic beauty love that captivated the country and the city. Xuanzong was overwhelmed with grief. There is only remorse and endless sorrow left, and I don't know when I can let go.
Beauty and the game of thrones, Xuanzong may not be able to figure it out in this life. It's just that there is love and hatred in the world, and the moment when you love vanity is destined to be the pain of a lifetime.
