A phrase we often mention is "Beauty has been so short-lived since ancient times". It seems that in ancient times, it was difficult for beautiful women to have a good end. Even the four most famous beauties in China ended in tragedy. This is also because they live in an era when imperial power is supreme. In feudal autocratic countries, everything depends on the emperor. But relying on the emperor may not be a long-term solution.
Yang Guifei thinks the emperor is an exception.
In ancient China, families with a little power wanted to train their daughters into good families, send them to the palace, and become the favorite of the emperor. However, not everyone can have such an opportunity to be the emperor's pillow. There are many women on the tall city wall, wasting their lives, and there are also many women. Even if they finally got the favor of the emperor, they still didn't get anything good. Even though he was born into a noble family, the emperor did not give his consorts many rights to ensure that they did not interfere in government affairs.
But some women can completely capture the emperor's heart and make a generation of emperors willing to make exceptions for themselves again and again. Yuhuan and the imperial concubine, one of the four ancient beauties, fascinated Tang, and even Yuhuan was the only one in the harem. However, in historical records, Yang Yuhuan is an out-and-out "fat man". So, why are you infatuated with Yang? What about this fat Yuhuan? It turns out that Yang Yuhuan has another specialty besides good skin.
There are many records about Yuhuan and Yang in the history books, both good and bad. Especially after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named Yang Yuhuan as the imperial concubine, many people in the ruling and opposition circles were very dissatisfied with Yang Yuhuan. At that time, although there were countless concubines in the Tang Dynasty, Yuhuan's position was unshakable. What's more, because Tang didn't stand up, Yuhuan had a great influence in the harem and even had the idea of interfering in state affairs.
In this regard, Tang did not show any dissatisfaction. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was deeply attracted by Yuhuan and Yang. What he saw in his eyes was the best side of Yuhuan, which created Yang Mingjun at that time and gradually fell on Yuhuan and Yang. Therefore, when the Anshi Rebellion really broke out, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty couldn't think of any other way except running for his life with Yang Yuhuan. After all, the Tang people were very dissatisfied with Yang Yuhuan.
However, Tang's love for Yuhuan is true. Known as the four beauties in ancient China, the beauty fell in love with Yuhuan because of her appearance in Yang. In the process of getting along with Yuhuan, Tang became more and more fascinated with Yuhuan, because Yuhuan's skin is very delicate. Everyone loves beauty, especially the delicate skin of Yuhuan, which makes Tang fondle admiringly. In addition, Yang Yuhuan has another specialty, that is, he can sing and dance, and he can have in-depth exchanges with Tang Xuanzong. Although she can't be called a talented woman, Yang Yuhuan is very proficient in poetry, music, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which makes the relationship between Yang Yuhuan and Tang Xuanzong no longer a trivial matter in daily life, but directly rises to the literary level. After all, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was a generation of emperors. Even if he can't talk to the concubines in the harem, he hopes to find a kindred spirit. Although "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue", Tang Xuanzong, a talented woman like Yang Yuhuan, was also happy with her knowledge and stood in the depths of her soul to communicate with each other.
This was something that Tang Xuanzong didn't think of at first, but it was this that made Tang Xuanzong particularly like Yang Yuhuan. He thinks that Yang Yuhuan is like a treasure, worth digging, and then he discovers the uniqueness of Yang Yuhuan bit by bit. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named Yang Yuhuan as the imperial concubine, she doted on her even more, and even went to a place where the king didn't go to court. Tang Xuanzong was not without contact with beautiful women, but people like Yang Yuhuan were deeply attracted by Tang Xuanzong, which made Tang Xuanzong unable to extricate himself.
Without the later Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty would probably continue to live with Yang Yuhuan, and Yang Yuhuan would enjoy the beauty and happiness of life under the protection of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and might even be directly named the queen by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. But nothing happened, and later things happened as usual. A generation of beautiful women finally lost their lives in Maweipo.
