True love is a bright light in the dark and warmth in the cold.

Yang is a tragic figure. Li was irresponsible when she got married and took care of herself at the critical moment. Later, I thought he was just guilty.

Love is a timeless topic, especially for emperors and queens. For the love between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei, who initiated the flourishing age of heaven and earth, scholars in previous dynasties have been unable to reach an agreement on whether to praise or belittle it. Some praise their love, but most of them are based on sympathy. Personally, I think they not only have love, but also the kind of soul mate, the love between life and death.

One,

According to historical records, Xuanzong was naturally romantic. Although there were many concubines when he was in office, most of them were just playthings to win his momentary pleasure, and few women could win his true feelings and occupy a position in his heart for a long time. He only keeps single-minded and lasting feelings for a few like-minded women. Only from this point can we see that he is indulgent but not promiscuous. But as a generation of emperors can do this, their feelings are still relatively single-minded.

Throughout Xuanzong's life, apart from the king and queen who suffered for many years, the only women who made him loyal for a long time were Wu Huifei and Yang Guifei. Since the queen's love faded, Wu Huifei has been spoiled by herself for nearly twenty years. However, the history books do not record how beautiful Wu Huifei is. She was over 40 years old when she died. To put it in a fashionable phrase, "women are forty tofu dregs". However, Xuanzong was still sad and unhappy for a long time. None of the three thousand beauties in the harem can get rid of his loneliness and melancholy. In the third year after his death, Wu Huifei met Yang Yuhuan. Perhaps Yang Yuhuan and Wu Huifei have some similarities, which made him fall in love at first sight. In the following ten years, he joined hands with Yang Guifei and occupied the whole life of Xuanzong until Yang Guifei died. It can be seen that Xuanzong is not only seeking beauty, but a very affectionate person.

Several reasons why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty liked Yang Guifei;

1, first of all, Yang Guifei is a beauty, and her beauty can be seen from the fact that "the makeup of the sixth palace has faded into nothing".

2. The reason why Yang Guifei was favored by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was not only because of her beautiful appearance, but also because of her effective understanding of Xuanzong's psychology, which many beautiful women in the harem could not do. One day, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty played chess with the prince, letting He play the pipa solo, while Yang Guifei stood in front of the chess game and watched. Tang Xuanzong is about to lose the game. Yang Guifei threw the cat in her arms on the chessboard, which disturbed the game and made him lose or lose. So Tang Xuanzong was very happy.

3. Tang Xuanzong loves music, and Yang Guifei is very good at melody. The so-called piano and sound.

A beautiful-looking, caring and loving woman, I'm afraid men can't love her or not!

According to historical records, Yang Guifei was sent back to her family twice. The first time was the fifth year of Tianbao, that is, the second year of Yang Guifei's pursuit. The imperial concubine angered Xuanzong because of jealousy and was sent back to her family. After the imperial concubine was driven out of the palace, Xuanzong suddenly felt empty, with an unspeakable sense of loneliness and emptiness. Xuanzong ignored the tea and rice and lost his temper with the left and right attendants. Immediately, the royal meal was sent, and the imperial concubine was taken back to the palace that night. From then on, she loved the imperial concubine more.

The second time was in the ninth year of Tianbao, and the imperial concubine was sent back to her family for violating Xuanzong's will. Later, the imperial concubine thought she was arrogant and had gone too far. She cut off a lock of hair and had it brought to Xuanzong, saying, "If you are guilty, you should die. Everything on you is a gift from the emperor. Only your hair can repay the emperor's kindness. " Xuanzong was greatly moved. Through these two times, the inseparable feelings between two people deepened.

According to royal practice, empresses who offend the holy family can only be dealt with in the palace, or beheaded, or imprisoned, or put in limbo, and never sent back to their parents' homes. Xuanzong opened this special case, just like ordinary couples quarreling, leaving room for manoeuvre and reconciliation. It can be seen that Xuanzong did not treat the imperial concubine as a plaything, but could accommodate each other like ordinary couples. The affection between them transcends the relationship between the emperor and the concubine. It can be said that Xuanzong regarded the imperial concubine as a partner and wife.

After the death of the imperial concubine, in the second year of Zhide, Xijing was recovered, and Xuanzong returned to Chang 'an from Chengdu and became the emperor's father. He sent someone to pay homage to Yang Guifei, and later wanted to be reburied, but Li and others refused. Xuanzong quietly ordered people to be buried elsewhere. When Yang Guifei was buried, she was wrapped in a purple mattress. When she was buried, her skin was gone, and the sachet on her chest was still there. After the official was buried, he presented the sachet to Xuanzong, who hid it in his sleeve. I also asked the painter to describe the figure of Yang Guifei and watch and sigh day and night. Until his death, he was also sad for Yang Guifei.

Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in Song of Eternal Sorrow:

We hope to fly in heaven, two birds become one and grow on the earth, two branches of a tree. ..

The earth endures, and the sky endures; One day both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever.

As an ancient man not far from the Xuanzong era, although he has the romance of literati, his views should still represent the views and feelings of people at that time.

As far as the national disaster is concerned, the imperial concubine herself is innocent, but what is her mood about the disaster that befalls her? I think it is well written in the script of the Palace of Eternal Life in the Qing Dynasty: "There is no solution to the defeat, and the disabled are willing." A word "strike" not only shows her persistence in love, but also saves the country.

Xuanzong was responsible for the death of the imperial concubine, but he was forced to do so at the last minute. He can only helplessly say "the imperial concubine is not guilty". In times of crisis, Xuanzong naturally knew that he would not give up the imperial concubine, that is, give up the country and the country. But we can't deny Xuanzong's love for imperial concubine. From today's point of view, at the critical moment of the national crisis, when there is a conflict between work and personal interests, it is even greater for Xuanzong to give up the selfless spirit of a small family in order to protect everyone.

Back in Chang 'an, Xuanzong wanted to offer sacrifices to the imperial concubine and rebury her, but later he gave up because of political reasons, so he had a portrait of the imperial concubine painted and hung in the temple to accompany her day and night. Everything in the palace, one room and one courtyard, is harmful. "Lotus is as picturesque as a willow, why don't you cry?" "Fireflies were flying on the throne, while he was meditating in the twilight. , residual light pick up all sleepless. Bells and drums will slowly ring the long night, and before dawn, the Milky Way in the sky will become clear. And the porcelain mandarin ducks on the roof grow thick morning frost, and the jade is cold, so who and who * * *. With the distance between life and death year after year, the soul has never had a dream. "Xuanzong is old in such a lonely and sad thought, and he followed the imperial concubine in a few years.

An ancient emperor with many harem beauties and prevailing male chauvinism could have such deep feelings for a woman. Although he was fooling around with other women, the morality at that time was binding on men, which should be regarded as love. Even today, how many people can miss the dead?
