Chapter 656: Yang Yuhuan Chapter (Extra) II

();

When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, Xuanzong came here with Concubine Mei to enjoy the flowers and chant poems, and the love is incomparable. Later, Tang Xuanzong saw Yang Yuhuan again, and he was overwhelmed by her charm, because the two were both good at music, and soon became bosom friends. After Tang Xuanzong tried every possible means to get his hands on the jade ring, he was with Concubine Yang every day, and soon forgot about Concubine Mei. Concubine Mei is good at poetry, and one day, she wrote a poem "A Pearl" and asked someone to bring it to Xuanzong. When Xuanzong saw the poem, he remembered the scene with Concubine Mei in the past. So, he summoned her to Cuihua West Pavilion to reminisce about the past. Unexpectedly, this matter was discovered by Yang Guifei, and she was jealous and humiliated Xuanzong and Concubine Mei. Li Longji is the emperor after all, how can he let the concubine teach him such a lesson, and in a fit of anger, he ordered someone to send Yang Guifei back to her parents' house.

This incident has been rumored throughout history. However, in history, whether it is the "Old Tang Book", "New Tang Book", or Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian", there is no record of Concubine Mei, and secondly, the books we see about Concubine Mei are derived from the "Biography of Concubine Mei". And "The Biography of Concubine Mei" has no author (some people think that it was written by Tang Caoye, and there is no real evidence. The transcriber also does not know who the author is, only that he is a friend of the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties. And "The Biography of Concubine Mei" is the earliest work that records Concubine Mei's personal affairs. All other accounts of Concubine Mei are later than this text, and most of them are copies of the text, or legends have been added.

Third, there are a few sentences in "The Biography of Concubine Mei", which are worth noting: "The person who paints a beautiful woman in this world, called Concubine Mei, is a person who spoke of the Tang Ming Emperor, and he was incomprehensible." It means that the concubine Mei in today's (Song Dynasty) lady paintings, people only say that she is a person from the time of the Tang Ming Emperor, but they don't know much about her life experience. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun said in "A Brief History of China": "There is no author in the volume of "The Biography of Concubine Mei". Because of this, ...... is transmitted". Zheng Zhenduo, a rigorous literary scholar, also denied the existence of Concubine Mei. Finally, checking the historical books of the Tang Dynasty, there was no record of Gao Lishi going to Fujian and Guangdong beauty pageants; "The Biography of Concubine Mei" recorded that Concubine Mei was demoted to live in the East Palace of Yang, the eastern capital of Luoyang. It is hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, and there is no Cuihua Hall West Pavilion in Luoyang Shangyang East Palace, why would Tang Xuanzong summon Concubine Mei at night, and when Yang Guifei found out, how could there be Concubine Mei "step back to the East Palace".

During the Tang Xuanzong period, a special profession was set up, called "Flower and Bird Envoy", which was in charge of collecting beauties from the people to enrich the harem. Tang Xuanzong is a merry man, and he is tired of playing with Yang Guifei all day long, so he summons these women behind Yang Guifei's back. Yang Guifei was jealous and quarreled with Xuanzong; Xuanzong was also angry, the concubine actually took care of the emperor's private life, which was really unusual. So, in a fit of rage, he ordered to "drive back". Yang Guifei was driven back to her parents' house in this way. As soon as the concubine left, Tang Xuanzong suddenly felt empty in his heart, and soon regretted it. That night, taking advantage of the night, Tang Xuanzong sent the forbidden army to bring the concubine back from the Yang family.

After some tossing, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. Not only that, Xuanzong also took Yang Guifei's three sisters to Chang'an, named them Mrs. Yipin, and allowed them to enter and leave the palace at will.

Out of the palace again

In the ninth year of Tianbao, Yang Guifei was once again sent back to her parents' home.

As for the reason why Yang Guifei was expelled this time, the "Old Tang Book" volume was fifty-one days and nine years old, and the concubine reverted to the decree and sent it back to the outside. Shi Jiwen and the nobles are kind, Wen into the song said: "The woman's wisdom is not far away, and she has a holy feeling, but the noble concubine has been gracious for a long time, why not pity a place in the palace, so that she will be killed, and endure humiliation outside!" The envoy Zhang Taoguang gave the imperial food, and the concubine attached Taoguang wept and said: "The concubine is resentful, and the sin deserves death." Except for the clothes, they are all given by God's grace and have nothing left, but the hair and skin belong to the parents. "It's a dedication to the sword.

Xuanzong was shocked when he saw it, even if Lux was summoned. There are only six words in "Zizhi Tongjian": "Yang Guifei repents her resentment." "What is Yang Guifei's purpose? "Yang Taizhen's Biography" records: In 750, one day in February of the ninth year of Tianbao, Yang Guifei secretly blew the purple jade flute of Tang Xuanzong's eldest brother Ning Wang Li Xian, which was seen by Tang Xuanzong and sent out of the palace with resentment. After the concubine left the palace, she cut off a lock of green silk and asked Zhang Taoguang to bring it to Xuanzong, who was shocked and ordered Gao Lishi to recall her.

Neither of these accounts is credible, because King Ning died in November (January 15, 742) in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, and in the ninth year of Tianbao (750), he had been dead for eight years. It is impossible for Yang Guifei to have an affair with a dead person. As for Yang Guifei's statement that she eats her sister's vinegar, it is only in "Jilingtai. Second", the author Zhang Hu: Mrs. Qiu Guo inherited the grace of the lord, and Pingming rode into the palace gate. But it is not enough to think that the color of fat powder is stained, and the Emei is lightly swept towards the supreme. Moreover, during the Tianbao years, Yang Guifei and her sisters had a good relationship, which shows that Tang Xuanzong and Mrs. Qiu Guo were innocent.

This time, Yang Guifei was kicked out, which may be a disadvantage given by Xuanzong to the Yang family. Because of Yang Guifei's favor, the Yang family also became prominent. With the rise of status, the Yang family became lawless. The specifications of the Yang family's reception have exceeded the prescribed boundaries; taking bribes on a large scale; Not only that, but they even rode on the heads of royalty. It is recorded in the "New Tang Dynasty Book": "In and out of the palace, the grace shook the world.

Every time the woman enters the class, Princess Zhiying and others dare not take place, Jianping, Xincheng and the second princess are angry with the concubine, and they chase the inner seal, and the horse is Dugu Ming who loses his official. "The emperor's own sister can only give up her seat in front of the three ladies and dare not sit down; Tang Xuanzong's daughter, Princess Xincheng, because of the conflict with the Yang family, was reduced to recovering the things that the Inner Mansion had given away, if she didn't deal with it, I am afraid that the entire country would become the Yang family. Xuanzong was angry, and the Yang family relied on the support of a noble concubine, so Yang Guifei was once again driven home.

Yang Guifei was sent home this time, because Xuanzong used the strategy of killing chickens to show monkeys, that is, to extinguish the prestige of the Yang family. This trick is really smart, the Yang family panicked, but it was not easy to come forward to plead, and Yang Guifei washed her face with tears all day long. Because, this time, Tang Xuanzong was not in a hurry to take the concubine back, and there was no news after sending him away. Although Xuanzong did not send anyone to pick up Yang Guifei, he still missed it very much in his heart.

A man named Ji Wen came to lobby Tang Xuanzong, and Xuanzong was in the middle of it. Tang Xuanzong immediately sent someone to visit the concubine, and also gave her half of his imperial meal. When Yang Guifei saw that the emperor had sent someone to see her, she was moved to tears, and immediately fell to the ground to admit her mistake, and cut off a strand of her hair and dedicated it to Xuanzong. As soon as Tang Xuanzong saw the green silk of the concubine, he sent Gao Lishi to take Yang Guifei back to the palace.

Yang Guifei knew that Xuanzong did not have her, so she was restless, so she was even more arrogant, and the Yang family "did not ask about entering and leaving the forbidden door, and the chief officials of the Beijing division looked sideways". Chen Hong's "Song of Long Hatred" records: Ju Yige said that the sisters and brothers are all in the land, and the poor glory is born; So he ordered the hearts of parents all over the world not to be born again male and female.
