Yang Guifei (7 19-756), namely Yang Taizhen, a native of Xiaoyuanhuan and Yongle, Zhou Pu. Originally the concubine of Shou Wanghuan, the son of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty, she was favored by Xuanzong for her beauty. She is "favored by three thousand people", and there is a strange phenomenon that "all her sisters and brothers are listed in the soil, and because she shines and glorifies her clan".
In 755 AD, An Lushan, our time, launched a rebellion in the name of Yang Guifei's younger brother. Rebels quickly captured Luoyang and Chang 'an, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Sichuan with his relatives. When they arrived at Ant Post (now Xingping County, Shaanxi Province), angry soldiers killed Yang and demanded that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty execute Yang Guifei.
Extended data:
The statement that Yang Guifei committed suicide in Ant Post is an official record. For example, Li Zhao, a native of the Tang Dynasty, said in the Supplement to National History: "Xuanzong was lucky in Shu. When he arrived at Mawei Post, he ordered Gao Lishi's imperial concubine to rest under the pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple, and Mawei Store received a cymbal. It is said that passers-by have to pay 100 yuan every time they borrow it, and they make a lot of profits before and after, making them extremely rich. Yang Guifei died under a pear tree in a Buddhist temple in Mayi. When moving the body, a shoe on Yang Guifei's foot was lost, which led to an old woman making a fortune.
For this historical event, Li Zhao's records in Old Tang Shu and New Tang Shu are similar. The historical data of Yang Guifei's flogging quoted in Sima Guang's "Learning from Your Own Experience" is more detailed: after the mutinous soldiers killed Yang, the soldiers of the Sixth Army who were riding the car still refused to move forward and personally ordered it, which was also invalid.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked Gao Lishi to ask Chen, commander-in-chief of the army, why? Chen said, "A loyal gentleman betrays a noble concubine, so you can't sacrifice it. May your majesty be merciful and correct the law. " . After hearing this, Bian Zong of Tang refused to give up what one favours at first, "leaning on his head and standing. For a long time, Jing Zhao Sluvi prefaced, "Now people are angry, it is difficult to commit crimes, and their safety is at stake. May your majesty make a decision soon! " .
However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said: "The imperial concubine often lives in the deep palace, knowing that the country is loyal and plotting evil?" At this time, even Gao Lishi was uncharacteristic and said to Xuanzong, "The imperial concubine is innocent, but the soldiers killed Guo Zhong, and the imperial concubine is by your side. How dare you be safe! May your majesty judge it and your majesty be safe. " Persuaded by Gao Lishi, Xuanzong "ordered Lux to lure the imperial concubine to the Buddhist temple and kill her". Only in this way can the officers and men of the Sixth Army "launch all plans" (Don Ji 34).
