Since ancient times, beauty has been a disaster, which is the judgment made by the ancients on the existence of women in the feudal dynasty. Although in our modern society, the views expressed in this sentence are biased, after all, this value was developed in an ancient social environment that favors boys over girls. But the meaning of this sentence is not meaningless.
It is not difficult to see from this sentence that in ancient times, women not only had social status, but also most men's faults were placed on women. Girls nowadays attach great importance to their appearance, but being good-looking in ancient times was not a good thing. Just look at the fate of Yang Yuhuan , one of our four beauties in ancient times.
Yang Yuhuan's family are all beautiful, so she has the opportunity to go to the palace and become the favored person of the emperor. However, in the end, Yang Yuhuan was considered the culprit of the chaos of the Chao Gang, and there are many legends about her. Now when the tomb of Yang Guifei was unearthed, when you open the tomb chamber and see, the "rumor" from a thousand years ago may have been confirmed...
From the princess to the imperial concubine
People all know that Yang Yuhuan eventually became Yang Guifei, but few people know that Yang Yuhuan's own family background is not simple. It is not only the second generation of officials, but also the eight generations of ancestors are important officials in the court. Yang Yuhuan's father also served as an official in Sichuan area for many years in his early years. It is precisely because of his father's work that Yang Yuhuan grew up in Sichuan since childhood.
All the memories of Yang Yuhuan in childhood were happy. At that time, the family’s financial conditions were very good, and her father was a court official. Her lives and her sisters were also taken care of by her servants in an orderly manner.
Until Yang Yuhuan was ten years old, her father died of illness. A whole family had no choice but to go to the Central Plains to defect to his uncle. Yang Yuhuan, who grew up slowly, had been spending time in Luoyang . Although her hometown is not bad, Luoyang was a developed city at that time. Yang Yuhuan felt a different style here, and her beauty gradually became her advantage.
Since childhood, Yang Yuhuan has been famous for her beauty. After arriving in Luoyang, she has been more beautiful than before. Although Yang Yuhuan had lost her father while living in Luoyang, her uncle still raised her like a daughter.
Therefore, Yang Yuhuan concubine did not suffer much in Luoyang area, but instead gained more than before, because as she grew older, Yang Yuhuan also had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learn to be a lady from a family. By the time he was fifteen or sixteen years old, Yang Yuhuan had already become a stunning beauty.
Not only that, she is also proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Compared with the concubines in the palace, Yang Yuhuan can even make these women inferior. is an ancient society after all, and others don’t care how many books a woman reads. At that time, Yang Yuhuan’s greatest value was its beauty. What’s more icing on the cake was that Yang Yuhuan was also proficient in dancing. When she danced gracefully, she didn’t know how many boys she had fascinated.
Once, Daughter of Tang Xuanzong was about to get married. Because the princess was married, the royal family held a banquet. Because Yang Yuhuan's uncle was a court official, Yang Yuhuan attended the banquet as a family member. At the banquet, Yang Yuhuan met one of the sons of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who was King of Shou Li Mao .
Li Mao did not see such a woman before this? After seeing Yang Yuhuan, his eyes could no longer be moved away, so he wanted Yang Yuhuan to be his wife. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was also very fond of being Wang Li Mao, so he quickly told Yang Yuhuan's uncle that she would prepare to marry her niece to her son.
After this, Yang Yuhuan's uncle was naturally very happy, because after Yang Yuhuan married Prince Shou Li Mao, the Yang family was considered a royal relative. Soon after, he proposed marriage and Yang Yuhuan became the princess.
leaping over the dragon gate, but it was a disaster
Yang Yuhuan, who just married King Shou Li Mao, was only 17 years old and was not very familiar with men and women.Under the guidance of Li Mao, the couple roared in harmony. Prince Shou Li Mao is not a lustful person. Although he admires Yang Yuhuan's appearance, Li Mao is still qualified as a husband.
Look at Yang Yuhuan again. Although she is a princess, she lives a good life like the children of ordinary people. She thought to herself that if she could go on like this for the rest of her life, it would be a waste of time to come to the world. is just already possessed by the royal family, and it is almost impossible to be dull.
However, not long after, Li Mao's mother passed away. This is one of the most beloved concubines of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang - Wu Huifei . After his wife passed away, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was heartbroken. The ministers around him were very anxious when they saw Emperor Xuanzong of Tang every day. At this moment, someone suggested that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang recruit Li Mao’s wife into the palace to "soothe" the emperor's grief.
Of course, Yang Yuhuan is his daughter-in-law. No matter how hard Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not clear, he could not directly snatch his daughter-in-law. Someone gave advice to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, asking Yang Yuhuan to become a monk and become a female Taoist priest for a few years, and then recruit her into the palace. In this way, Yang Yuhuan became the concubine in the palace and the woman of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
For Yang Yuhuan, marrying a prince is definitely not as good as marrying an emperor. Therefore, after becoming the woman of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Yang Yuhuan had long forgotten all her husband and wife relationship with Li Mao. The Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was also confused by Yang Yuhuan, and he even stopped asking about the affairs of the court.
Among the beauties in the harem, no one can compare to Yang Yuhuan's treatment. Even if Yang Yuhuan often makes Emperor Xuanzong of Tang angry, the favor she receives will not be reduced by half. It was only a matter of Tang Xuanzong's anger for a while, because he couldn't help but go to find her, and Yang Yuhuan controlled the emperor tightly.
It is precisely because Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty wasted his time on Yang Guifei all day long, which led to a major change in power in the court.
The biggest civil strife at that time was the Anshi Rebellion . When these people's troops had reached Chang'an City , Emperor Xuanzong of Tang repented, but he could only run away in a hurry.
The Death of the Concubine
When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his soldiers Chen Xuanli escaped to Mawei Slope, the soldiers under his soldiers said that they did not want to escape again. Chen Xuanli and others believe that it was precisely because Yang Guifei had already caused trouble in the Yang family and controlled the government, which led to the Anshi Rebellion, so they unanimously demanded the execution of Yang Guifei. Even though Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to let his subordinates look like Yang Guifei to relieve public anger.
This is the death of Yang Guifei recorded in official history. However, many people were skeptical about this statement in the early days because no one found her body after Yang Guifei's death.
And thousands of years later, when we dig up Yang Guifei's tomb, we found that Yang Guifei's tomb was just a tomb, and there was no corpse at all. This shows that the rumors thousands of years ago are likely to be true.
Conclusion
Did Concubine Yang at that time be executed? Even if she was executed, where did her body go? If this tomb is not Yang Guifei's, it means that Yang Guifei's tomb still exists in other places?
The answers to these questions may be able to be solved in the future and may become eternal mystery. But the only thing we can figure out is that as long as women at that time were beautiful, they would be framed for being a beauty. Where did Yang Guifei understand the affairs of the court? She is just used as a tool for trading because she is beautiful.
