An Lu Shan
Yuyang Fei came agitatedly, and An Lushan rebelled.
This was something that Xuanzong could never have imagined, and it was a waste of his pampering heart. When An Lushan raised an army in Yuyang, Xuanzong, this Li Sanlang, and the noble concubine Niangnian held hands and went to Huaqing Pond to swim together. It is possible to say that anyone rebelled, but if an Lushan rebelled, Xuanzong would never believe it. There is no reason, nowadays the world is rising to peace, how can An Lushan rebel, moreover, he usually has a blue eye for him, pampering him, anyone can rebel against him, he can't, and he can't believe it. Yang Guozhong didn't know how much effort it took to convince Xuanzong that An Lushan had rebelled.
After Emperor Xuanzong confirmed that An Lushan had rebelled, he might have been angry and corrupt, or he might have scolded him: Hu Dog, bully me too much! But who can blame this? Yang Guozhong nagged endlessly all day long, and Xuanzong not only did not believe it, but instead became more and more serious about An Lushan, and what was the result, An Lushan slapped Xuanzong fiercely.
An Lushan was also worthy of being an old fox, and he rebelled against the army but was righteous. He claimed that he had sent troops under the orders of Emperor Xuanzong, who had ordered him to enter the dynasty to eliminate the traitorous party, and the leader of the traitorous party was Yang Guozhong, the prime minister. Yang Guozhong, a man who has a bad reputation among the people, can be said to be infamous, and An Lushan is very clever in striking such a banner; as the saying goes, traitors and traitors are hated by everyone, and when he enters the dprk to curse the traitors, he also asks for the people's lives and eliminates harm for the people, which reduces the resistance from the people.
After An Lushan rebelled, Yang Guozhong was proud, how, usually what does my old Yang say? An Lushan's bearded cub is not a good thing, there are anti-bones in the back of his head, but His Majesty just doesn't believe it, how to say it this time? Xuanzong was also frustrated, what is this, An Lushan is a Hu person after all, how come he doesn't understand the Confucian principle of Knowing Entu? Emperor Xuanzong had no choice but to consult Yang Guozhong on how to deal with it.
Yang Guozhong said, Your Majesty, don't worry, now the rebel is only a light pole commander of An Lushan, the generals do not want to do this, it is nothing more than coercion, I believe that in the next ten days, an Lushan's head will be transmitted to you, you will see. When Xuanzong heard this, his mood could be slightly relieved. However, the crown prince Li Heng and the Wenwu hundred officials who were standing next to him looked down on each other, and at this time, Yang Guozhong was still hiding and putting his hands up and down, which was a disaster for the country and the people.
After Xuanzong returned from Huaqingchi, he hurriedly recalled Gao Xianzhi and asked him to lead an army to conquer An Lushan. Soon, this Li Sanlang had a whim and decided to march in person. At that time, Xuanzong's ancient age was not suitable for the imperial conquest, but this blood and qi Fang Gang's strength surged up again, and he let the crown prince Li Heng stay in the prison country and put himself on the battlefield, vowing to meet with An Lushan on the battlefield.
This can be anxious to upset Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong thought to himself, this old man is really impatient to live, a lot of age still wants to go out on the battlefield, as far as your old arms and legs are concerned, when you arrive at the battlefield, are you not dragging down the soldiers? Besides, Prince Jianguo, do I still have a good life? I didn't frame the prince before, but this time if the prince takes revenge, you are far away on the front line, and I can find someone to give me the master. Once you die on the battlefield, your front foot dies, and my back foot has to let the prince cut off, and I can't let you go out under any circumstances.
Yang Guozhong went to Consult with Yang Guifei and explained the stakes to her, and as soon as Yang Guifei heard the same, she took two other sisters, along with Yang Guozhong, the elder brother, and ran to Xuanzong and cried. Xuanzong who can withstand the howling of these four brothers and sisters, if you don't go, don't go, anyway, I Have some soldiers who can fight in the Tang Dynasty.
However, Emperor Xuanzong was too optimistic, and it turned out that the Sheng Tang weather could not resist the cavalry of Northern Yan, and those generals in his eyes who could fight in the face of An Lushan's fierce offensive were not good, and they were defeated one after another, Feng Changqing was not good, Gao Xianzhi was not able to do it, and both were given death by Xuanzong, that is, the Ge Shuhan who made Huma dare not cross Lintao, nor was he an opponent of An Lushan, and finally surrendered and became the pseudo-prime minister of An Lushan.
Xuanzong was dumbfounded at this time, he didn't expect An Lushan to be so difficult to deal with. Yang Guozhong was not idle, paying attention to the battlefield situation all the time, he couldn't see it, An Lushan's army had already broken through Tongguan, and in the blink of an eye, he would wash Chang'an in blood, and if he didn't run, he would die without a place to die. He then suggested that Xuanzong transfer. Emperor Xuanzong asked him where he had moved? Yang Guozhong said that entering Shu can be safe. Why did he say that? Don't forget, in addition to being the prime minister of the imperial court, Yang Guozhong was also the envoy of Jiannan Jiedushi, Shuzhong was his old lair, since he found out that An Lushan had a negative intention, on the one hand, he co-opted Ge Shuhan, on the other hand, he built Jiannan as a rear, but he did not expect it to come in handy so quickly. Xuanzong had no choice but to do so.
Anshi Rebellion
Although Xuanzong lost on the battlefield, he was very cautious and meticulous in the matter of deploying and escaping. He only took the crown prince's grandson, Yang's sisters, Yang Guozhong, Wei Jiansu, Chen Xuanli, Wei Fangjin, Gao Lishi and other few people close to him, as well as a standard personal guard, and rushed out of the Yanqiu Gate in a hurry and ran west. The next morning, the hundred officials were stunned by everything in front of them, the sound of leaking pots was still the same, and the honor guard was as usual, but Xuanzong was missing on the throne, Yang Guozhong was missing from the head of the class, and even Gao Lishi, who had been sent for Xuanzong all day, could not be found. The hundred officials suddenly woke up, His Majesty fled, and His Majesty abandoned the crowd and left. The huge temple was suddenly a mess, the cries and scoldings were mixed, and the east and west were chaotic.
Xuanzong ran west into Shu, and this road can be described as arduous. However, the hardships could still be endured, but one thing happened that made Xuanzong feel haggard and physically and mentally exhausted. This event is known in history as the "Change of the Horse Ridge". Yang Guozhong also ended his dirty life because of this incident.
Yuyang Nai came agitatedly, startling the neon feather song.
The Nine-Fold City is full of smoke and dust, and thousands of people ride southwest.
Cuihua shook and stopped, and went west for more than a hundred miles out of the capital.
The Sixth Army did not feel helpless, like a moth to die before the horse.
The flowers were not collected, and the jade of the golden sparrow scratched its head.
The king hid his face and could not save it, and looked back at the blood and tears and the flow.
Emperor Xuanzong walked to the place of Ma Songyi, and it was in the morning that a group of people were dusty and hungry. The emperors and grandchildren cried and cried with hunger, the concubines lost their faces, and the guards complained bitterly, so it was not miserable. The local officials ran faster than Xuanzong and could not be found at all. Surrounded by emperors and concubines, Xuanzong waited helplessly with hunger on his face. Yang Guozhong had been sent out by the Xuan Sect to look for food. Noon is approaching, the food has not yet arrived, the history books say Xuanzong "the heavens will be noon, hunger is like a drum", this Tang Ming Emperor who created the kaiyuan prosperous world, when did he suffer from this kind of suffering? Fortunately, Xuanzong did not complain about the heavens, and endured everything that happened in front of him with unimaginable endurance.
Yang Guozhong
At this time, there were local people to offer food. The so-called grain is not as good as the exquisite food in the palace, which is a coarse food of wheat and beans, but these people are really hungry, and they are competing for the food they have offered. When Xuanzong saw several imperial grandchildren scrambling for food to eat, tears fell. When the crowd saw Xuanzong shed tears, they could not suppress their sorrow, and they all whimpered.
Emperor Xuanzong wept and claimed to receive the person who offered the grain. An old man with white hair walked in, walked over to Xuanzong with a trembling voice, and slowly knelt down. Xuanzong hurriedly grabbed him with his hand and said that the old man did not need much courtesy, and helped the old man to the seat next to him and sat down. Two old men in their old age talked about their hearts.
The old man said, Your Majesty, I am a rude person, the words are not good, you must not blame ah, An Lushan, this old thief, has long harbored anti-heart, the whole world knows, as far as you are in the dark, someone told you, you not only do not believe, but favor him, let him have no fear, and eventually cause the army to cause disaster, you are so old that you still have to drive horses and horses, it is really undeserved, who can blame you? When the former emperor was in power, he always sought out Xianliang to see and hear widely, so as to ensure the peace of the world, when Song Jing was the prime minister, he dared to offend Long Yan and speak bluntly, so the world was safe and sound, and His Majesty, who appointed the traitor Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong was something, there would be nothing but blind flattery, since he became the prime minister, no one dared to offend Yan Zhizhi, what happened outside the palace gate, His Majesty had no way of knowing, this was blinded by Yang Guozhong! If it weren't for An Lushan's rebellion, how could a grassy man like me have the opportunity to say these things to you in person?
The old man spoke, his voice whimpering, and the old man burst into tears. Xuanzong's mournful voice had just stopped, and at this time it was led out again, and the two old men could not cry for a long time, and this scene was completely sad.
Xuanzong said, "Brother, this is all my fault, but now it is too late to regret it." Looking back at Yang Guozhong, who had just returned from looking for food for him, alas, Guozhong, what should I do with you? There was an unbearable look on his face. However, Chen Xuanli next to him was full of anger, he thought that the reason why things had developed to such a situation, Yang Guozhong could not escape the blame, and he should be killed in order to save the situation.
The next day, on June 14, Emperor Xuanzong and his party arrived at Ma Songyi. The soldiers were resentful of fatigue and hunger. Chen Xuanli was ready to take advantage of the discontent of the generals to create a mutiny and kill Yang Guozhong. However, he knew that Emperor Xuanzong could not bear to deal with Yang Guozhong, so he sent someone to ask the crown prince Li Heng for instructions. The history books uploaded, "The prince is undecided." However, this is not in line with historical facts, so how can the prince hesitate? He was not less framed by Yang Guozhong, and this was a good opportunity to get rid of Yang Guozhong and his backstage Yang Guifei, how could he miss it? Moreover, if Xuanzong had been coerced into Shuzhong by Yang Guozhong and plotted to get rid of him, his misfortune would have been inevitable in the people's land of one acre and three quarters. Therefore, how can the prince be undecided, it should be decided and decided, and the decision should be made. The prince's undecided attitude was a tacit approval of Yang Guozhong's execution.
With the acquiescence of the crown prince, Chen Xuanli had no scruples, after all, the prince was the crown prince, and Xuanzong blamed him for it, and he was used as a shield. What he needs to do is plan a good play.
Yang Guozhong saw that Xuanzong was not in a good mood, and he also felt quite lost, a person sneaked out, and couldn't stop sighing, it was really difficult to be a person, how mighty it was in the past, he Cheng wanted to live in the countryside now, hungry and full, precarious, life is really boring. In the midst of wild thoughts, there were more than two dozen soldiers blocking the way, all dressed in Tubo clothes, Yang Guozhong thought to himself, how can there be Tubo soldiers here, Xuanzong did not say that he wanted to borrow soldiers from Tubo, where did these people come from? Just about to inquire, the Tubo soldiers led by the leader shouted, Bring food! The sound is quite loud and far away. Yang Guozhong was inexplicable, how could he care about me asking for food? Outrageous! But who knows, just when Yang Guozhong was wondering to himself, someone in the military camp shouted again: Yang Guozhong colluded with Tubo to try to rebel! As soon as Yang Guozhong heard this, he was about to burst out and scold the absurdity, and halfway through his words, he was fixed by an arrow that flew in. The arrow shot on the saddle, frightening Yang Guozhong's soul and scattering, and he hurried to the west gate where Xuanzong was located. But the fat body could not run, still in the slow movement, the soldiers caught up, a mess of knives, Yang Guozhong was chopped into meat filling, the head was cut off, hung on the west gate to show the public.
Ma Songyi's Yang family brothers and sisters died one after another
Yang Guozhong's death was completed in just a few seconds, which was too unexpected. How could the uncle of the indomitable kingdom, the great emperor Zaifu, be killed in such a hurry? However, the bloody facts cannot be refuted, Yang Guozhong drilled the camp for a lifetime, but he died instantly, and had to make people think deeply and wake up.
Yang Guozhong's unnatural death has its profound reasons. It can be said that his origins and dictatorship are not only the sorrow of Xuanzong alone, but also the sorrow of the Tang Empire. From the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Tang Empire accumulated supreme glory and buried sinister hidden dangers. Glory can flow for hundreds of generations, thousands of years later still let people nostalgic and admired, but hidden dangers may change at any time, and then qualitative change, only wait for someone to come out and ignite it, so that it always erupts, it will be earth-shattering, making people indignant, ancient and modern discolored. Yang Guozhong is a fuse, he detonated the total contradiction accumulated since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the Sheng Tang, he danced at the critical point, he punctured the abscess on the body of the Tang Dynasty, he was a veritable Tang Dynasty great beetle, under his action, the Sheng Tang collapsed in the blink of an eye, Chinese history underwent great changes, the pace became more and more faltering, I don't know when, it will fall down violently.
Tomb of Yang Guifei
Yang Guozhong died in a power struggle between Emperor Xuanzong and the crown prince Li Heng. This may not seem obvious, but it is. Tang Xuanzong reigned for too long, and even the crown prince Li Heng hoped that he would die as soon as possible, but Li Sanlang's vitality was very strong, and instead of lying down, he held his authority more tightly. He favored Yang Guifei, and then trusted Yang Guozhong, making Yang Guozhong red and purple. Yang Guozhong, in order to maintain his favored position, tried his best to exclude the prince and the new foreign relatives behind the prince. If Yang Guozhong has always been favored, it means that Xuanzong's authority cannot be questioned, on the contrary, if Yang Guozhong falls, it means that the power of the prince has prevailed, which Xuanzong will never tolerate. Therefore, Yang Guozhong was not only a prime minister, but also a bellwether for the power struggle between Xuanzong and the crown prince. After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong was forced to enter Shu, and when he arrived at Ma Songyi, the power struggle between father and son had staged results, that is, the power of the crown prince Li Heng grew, and Xuanzong fell to the inferior position, the landmark event was that Yang Guozhong was hacked to death and Xuanzong gave Yang Guifei death, these two things happened, indicating that Xuanzong was indeed unable to do it, and the prince wanted to seize power. Yang Guozhong's death was premeditated, and the culprit was the crown prince Li Heng. Li Hengming killed Yang Guozhong on the surface, but in fact stabbed Emperor Xuanzong hard.
Sure enough, after Yang Guozhong's death, Xuanzong's father and son parted ways, Xuanzong continued to enter Shu, but the crown prince Li Heng turned to the northwest and ran away from Lingwu. After Li Heng arrived at Lingwu, he called him emperor and honored Emperor Xuanzong as Emperor Taishang. Emperor Taishang was a beautiful name, and to put it bluntly, Li Heng set up a separate imperial court and deposed Xuanzong. At this point, the power struggle between Xuanzong's father and son was over, the crown prince Li Heng won a complete victory, and Yang Guozhong became a victim of the father and son's struggle for power.
