The Summoner of the Battle of All Realms

Xiaoqing looked at the summoning card in her hand, her eyes filled with surprise. It was so beautiful.

Xiaoqing once played the role of Concubine Yang Guifei, so she knew a lot about Yang Yuhuan's life story and life.

I know a lot about Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Yuhuan: Taizhen, beautiful in appearance, good at singing and dancing, and proficient in music. He was a court musician and dancer in the Tang Dynasty.

Her musical talent was rare among concubines in the past dynasties, and she was praised by later generations as one of the four beauties in ancient Oriental times.

She was born into a family of eunuchs, and her father Yang Xuanyan once served as the chief minister of Shuzhou.

She was first Princess Li Hao, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After being ordered to become a monk, she was canonized as a noble concubine by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

It will become a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages and will be famous for generations to come!

Li Bai also described Yang Guifei in "Qing Ping Tiao", "The clouds think of her clothes, the flowers think of her face, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick. If we hadn't seen her on the top of a jade mountain, I would have met her under the moon on Yaotai."

The Tang Dynasty was an era when poetry was popular, so many people used poetry to praise Concubine Yang, which made Yang Yuhuan's reputation even more famous.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty doted on Yang Yuhuan very much, so much that Huaqing Pool almost became Yang Yuhuan's royal use.

No one else can use it.

Huaqing Pool, also known as Huaqing Palace, includes the original Lishan National Forest Park and is known as the Four Oriental Royal Gardens along with the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace and Chengde Summer Resort.

Huaqing Palace is located to the west of Xi'an, to the south of Mount Li, to the north of the Weishui River, and adjacent to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the "eighth wonder of the world".

Emperors of the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties built separate palaces and gardens here.

It is famous at home and abroad for its eternal hot spring resources, the historical allusions of the beacon fire drama of the princes, the story of the drunken concubine, and the place where the "Xi'an Incident" took place, and has become an iconic scenic spot for the Oriental Tang Palace cultural tourism.

There is a line in Mr. Li's "The Drunken Concubine" that talks about Concubine Yang and Huaqing Pool, "That year the snowflakes fell and the plum blossoms bloomed. That year there was too much sadness beside the Huaqing Pool. Don't say who is it." No matter what is wrong or right in love, I just want to get drunk with you again in my dream. The golden bird, hairpin and jade scratching my head is your gift to me, and I will sing and dance for you through many reincarnations of colorful clothes and feathers..."

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty loved Concubine Yang for more than that. Du Mu once described it in a poem: "When a concubine riding in the world of mortals laughs, no one knows it is a lychee."

Yang Guifei likes to eat lychees. When the season comes, she wants to eat fresh lychees every day. But lychees are produced in the south, mostly in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Xichuan and other places. At that time, the capital of the Tang Dynasty was in Xi'an, which was thousands of miles away from the nearest lychee producing area.

In addition, fresh lychees are difficult to preserve. There is a saying that "when separated from the original branch, the color will change in one day, the fragrance will change in the second day, the taste will change in the third day, and the external color and fragrance will be gone in four or five days." Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, for Yang Guifei, Fast horses are used to transport the food day and night, and the food often reaches the capital without changing the taste.

Therefore, lychee also has a name, called - Concubine Smile!

Chapter 1088 The Mystery of Yang Yuhuan’s Death The Song of Colorful Feathers

However, there is still an eternal mystery surrounding Concubine Yang.

That is "The Death of Concubine Yang".

Whether Yang Guifei died has become an eternal mystery in the East.

Some people say he is dead, some people say he is not dead, and there are different opinions.

One of the theories is "The Death of Maweipo".

In the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan, the governor of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong towns, rebelled in the name of Qingjun and against Yang Guozhong, and directed his troops towards Chang'an.

The following year, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Shu with Concubine Yang and Concubine Yang Guozhong. When passing through Mawei Station, the sergeants of the imperial army led by Chen Xuanli unanimously demanded that Yang Guozhong and Concubine Yang be executed. Then they mutinied and killed Yang Guozhong with random swords.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said that the imperial concubine should be punished for being loyal to the country and rebellious. However, the imperial concubine was not guilty and wanted to be pardoned. However, the soldiers of the imperial army believed that the imperial concubine was a disaster to the country. The Anshi Rebellion was caused by the imperial concubine. If she did not punish her, it would be difficult to comfort the soldiers and boost their morale. They continued to surround the emperor. .

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty accepted Gao Lishi's advice and had no choice but to kill Yang Guifei in order to protect himself.

In the end, Concubine Yang was given a piece of white silk and hanged to death under the pear tree in the Buddhist hall. She was thirty-eight years old.

Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" wrote: "The six armies are helpless if they don't attack, and they die in front of the horse."

When Xuanzong returned to the palace after the Anshi Rebellion was settled, he sent people to search for Concubine Yang's body, but could not find it.

There is also a theory that Concubine Yang was not hanged to death, but died by swallowing gold.

This statement is only found in the poem "Ma Wei Xing" used by Liu Yuxi.

Liu Yuxi once wrote: "The windy road in the green field, the majestic yellow dust, the Yang noble people on the roadside, the tomb is three or four feet high. When I asked the children in the house, they all said that during the Shu period, the military lords killed the sycophants, and the emperor abandoned the enchantress. A group of officials are leaning against the door screen, the noble is holding the emperor's robe, turning his beautiful eyes low, the wind and the sun are the sky's rays. The noble is drinking gold dust, and suddenly Shun Ying is twilight. I have been taking apricot pills all my life, and the color is just like before."

Judging from this poem, Concubine Yang died by swallowing gold.

Mr. Chen Yinke was quite curious about this statement and made a textual research in "Yuanbai Poems and Notes".

Chen suspected that Liu's poem "nobles drink gold chips" was derived from "Li'erzhong", so it was different from other theories.

However, Chen did not rule out the possibility that Concubine Yang might have swallowed gold before she was hanged to death, so this theory was spread in "Li'erzhong".

Some people believe that Concubine Yang did not die in Maweiyi, but lived among the people. Mr. Yu Pingbo made textual research on Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and Chen Hong's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" in "Miscellaneous Works on Poetry, Ci and Music".

He believes that the original meaning of Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and Chen Hong's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" have other merits.

If "Eternal Regret" is the title of the chapter, it is enough to write it to Mawei. Why bother to assume that the Linqiong Taoist priest and the Jade Concubine are too real later?

Because of his position, Mr. Yu believes that Concubine Yang did not die in Maweiyi.

At that time, the six armies mutinied, the imperial concubine was robbed, and Chai Dian was appointed to the throne. The poem clearly stated that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty "could not save her." Therefore, the death edict recorded in official history would never have existed at that time.

Chen Hong's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" said "the messenger led her away", which means that Concubine Yang was led by the messenger to hide in a far away place.

Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret" said that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to rebury Yang Guifei after returning to Luang. The result was that "the dirt was in the mud under Mawei slope, and the jade face was not visible at the place where she died." Not even the bones could be found, which further confirmed that the imperial concubine did not die. Maweiyi.

It is worth noting that when Chen Hong wrote "The Song of Everlasting Regret", he specifically pointed out for fear that future generations would not know it: "The only one known to the world is the "Benji of Xuanzong."

And what is "unheard of in the world" is the "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" that is now passed down, which hints that Concubine Yang is not dead.

Since Concubine Yang is not dead, then where did Concubine Yang go?

There is a theory that Concubine Yang fled to Fusang.

There is a view among the people and academic circles in Fusang that the person who was hanged to death in Mawei Station at that time was a maid. Chen Xuanli, the general of the Forbidden Army, cherished the beauty of the imperial concubine and could not bear to kill her, so he conspired with Gao Lishi to kill her with his maid.

Yang Guifei was escorted by Chen Xuanli's cronies and fled south. She sailed to the sea near present-day Shanghai and drifted to Jiujin, Jiutani Town, Fuso, where she stayed for the rest of her life.

Fuso historian Bang Guangshiro also said in "Collection of Interesting Facts about Fuso History": Yang Guifei was buried in Erzunyuan in Yunjin after her death. To this day, there is still a five-wheeled pagoda that is said to be the tomb of Concubine Yang. There are also two standing statues of Sakyamuni and Amitabha enshrined in Jiujin Erzun Yard. Legend has it that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty specially sent them to Fusang in order to comfort Concubine Yang Guifei. They are now listed as key protected cultural relics by Fusang.

There are various opinions, some are speculations, and some even produce historical materials to prove their views.

So which one is true, no one knows.

The events are getting older and the truth is getting further and further away.
