The love story between Yang Yuhuan and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty

There is a saying that "there are other ladies in his court, and there are 3,000 rare beauties, but his love for 3,000 is concentrated on one body". This is a love story about Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, which is against ethics, but it is sincere. Their mutual attachment and dedication are unique among emperors in the history of China. According to historical records, Yang Yuhuan was originally the wife of Shou Wanghuan, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and also the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. There was not much overlap between them until Wu Huifei, the favorite of Xuanzong, died of illness, and he was very sad. At this time, someone put the idea on Yang Yuhuan, because she is "as beautiful as a fairy", and most importantly, she looks like Wu Huifei.

When Li Longji first heard about it, he was very angry and thought it was unreasonable. At the suggestion of the recent minister, Li Longji decided to visit Yang Yuhuan, which became the beginning of their story. Because Yang Yuhuan is well-deserved, not only beautiful, but also considerate, and it is Li Longji's favorite type, which also attracted him greatly. However, due to the name of the daughter-in-law, it cannot be possessed immediately. Therefore, Li Longji ordered Yang Yuhuan to do as the Romans do, and named her a Taoist named "Taizhen". Soon, Li Longji invited Yang Taizhen, a female official, to enter the palace, so Yang Yuhuan changed from Li Longji's daughter-in-law to Li Longji's beloved princess.

From then on, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty put aside all the concubines in the harem and looked at Yang Yuhuan every day. Whether it is an official's banquet or a court ceremony, he should take the imperial concubine with him. In order to please Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made a resplendent craftsman for her, reaching 700 people, and also opened a hot spring bath for her in Huaqing Pool of Lishan Mountain. Even in order to please Yang Yuhuan, who loves litchi, every summer, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent people from Fuzhou, Sichuan, thousands of miles away to deliver it day and night, and the color and taste remained unchanged when it was delivered to Chang 'an. In short, since I got Yuhuan, the love in Xuanzong's heart has been occupied by the imperial concubine, just as the song of everlasting regret sang: "Waste all his time on her, hold a banquet and revel, he is the mistress of spring, he is the tyrant of night;" Jindian is dressed up all night, and Louyu feast is as drunk as spring. "

Legend has it that one year in the Palace of Eternal Life in Huaqing Palace, on July 7th, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei avoided the crowd and looked up at the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Both of them bowed down and swore: "Life is hard in this world. May we grow old together and be husband and wife forever!"! After this life, there will be an afterlife! " Bai Juyi, a poet, wrote an immortal poem: "How we wish two birds could be one, fly in the sky, live and grow together on the earth, and have two branches in one tree." Indeed, this kind of affection between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei is rare among emperors of past dynasties.

The marriage of any feudal emperor should be branded with feudalism. The Tang Dynasty became the paradise of the Yang family, which led to another consort disaster in the history of China. At the same time, it also caused the tragedy of Yang Yuhuan later. Because of the "An Shi Rebellion", the imperial army first killed Yang, and later demanded that Yang Guifei be killed, otherwise he would be killed. Helplessly gave Yang three feet of white silk, and Yang Guifei could not bear to die. He was willing to trade his life for the peace of his lover, and finally won. The political inaction of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty is criticized, but the love story between them is lamentable and even a story of the ages.
