After An Lushan grew up, she was caught by Zhang Shougui for stealing sheep. Zhang Shougui saw that An Lushan was clever and did not punish him. He also recruited him into his army and later accepted him as his adopted son.
After An Lushan joined the army, he used the means of bribing officials and his official position became bigger and bigger, but his ambition was not satisfied with being just a governor. He wanted to gain the trust of Tang Xuanzong and then gain greater benefits.
In order to gain the trust of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, An Lushan took a shortcut, that is, to get close to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Yang Guifei, the most beloved concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Yang Guifei
Yang Guifei was originally the princess of Tang Xuanzong's son Li Mao . Although we have never seen the true face of Yang Guifei, she can be praised by later generations as one of the four beauties in ancient China, which is enough to show that Yang Guifei's beauty must be charming.
Although Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had thousands of harems, he was also fascinated by the beauty of his daughter-in-law. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang found a way to turn Yang Guifei from his daughter-in-law to his own concubine, and he loved Yang Guifei very much.
Because Yang Guifei was favored, her family also benefited. What's even more ridiculous is that Yang Guifei had a distant brother named Yang Zhao. He was a rogue in the market. He was actually valued by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang because Yang Guifei was favored.
Yang Zhao was also named Yang Guozhong by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and finally became the prime minister of Tang Dynasty .
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was the older he became, the more confused he became. In order to make Yang Guifei happy, he would satisfy her as long as it was Yang Guifei's request.
This shows that An Lushan, a person who is good at flattering, aimed at Yang Guifei in order to gain the trust of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, because as long as Yang Guifei speaks well in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, An Lushan's career will be smoother and smoother.
