In the 14th year of Tianbao, in Xiangyang, Pinglu and Hedong, An Lushan rebelled in the name of the Qing army, rebelled against Guo Zhong and arrived in Chang 'an. The following year, when Yang Guifei and Yang fled to Sichuan and passed through Mawai, Chen led the imperial sergeant to unanimously demand the execution of Yang Guifei and Yang Guifei, then defected and killed Yang with a knife.
Tang Xuanzong said that the imperial concubine was innocent and hoped to be pardoned. However, the imperial army believed that concubines were the beauty of the country, and the Anshi Rebellion was caused by concubines. Without punishment, it would be difficult to comfort the army, boost morale and continue to surround the emperor. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty accepted Gao Lishi's advice and had to agree to Yang Guifei's death in order to protect himself. Finally, at the age of 38, Yang Guifei got a white silk and was hanged under a pear tree in a Buddhist temple. This is an allusion in Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow: "People in the army don't move, and no one moves under the horseshoe."
After the Anshi rebellion subsided, Xuanzong returned to the palace. He sent someone to look for Yang Guifei's body, but he couldn't find it.
The records in 1998 are roughly the same as those in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, so it can be seen that Yang Guifei really died in Maxipo. Later generations said that the imperial concubine was not dead, which may be just a good wish.
Died in a Buddhist temple
Some people say that Yang Yuhuan may have died in a Buddhist temple. According to records, after the imperial general Chen killed Yang Guifei's father and son, he thought that "the thief was still there" and asked to kill Yang Guifei again to avoid future troubles. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to bid farewell to the imperial concubine and hang himself in the Buddhist temple. Records: Eunuch Gao Lishi was ordered to take Yang Guifei to the Buddhist temple to hang herself. It is recorded that Gao Lishi hanged Yang Guifei under a pear tree in a Buddhist temple.
According to Chen Hong's Book of Old Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty knew that Yang Guifei was going to die, but he couldn't bear to watch her die, so he let people take her away and "ran around and died in the hands of the government". It is recorded that when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty bid farewell to Yang Guifei, she "requested permission to worship Buddha". So Gao Lishi hanged the imperial concubine under the pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple. Teacher Chen Yinque pointed out in "Biography of Yang Guifei in the Old Tang Dynasty": "It can be noted that in the history of music, the princess died under a pear tree, which may be influenced by the saying that the spring rain is like a pear in Xiangshan. Guo is really ridiculous. " The expression of music history comes from Zi Tang, and Li Zhao's expression may be influenced by Tang Shi Bu. Yang Guifei hanged herself in the Buddhist temple. Chen and the guards watched the process and confirmed that Yang Guifei was dead before coming out to explain to the guards. It took the soldiers a long time to disperse and return to the ranks.
Died in a chaotic army
Yang Guifei may also die in chaos. This is mainly a description in some Tang poems. Du Fu wrote Song of Eternal Sorrow in Chang 'an occupied by An Lushan in the second year of Jiande. There is a saying: "Where are those perfect eyes and that pearl-like tooth?" A bloody ghost became homeless and had nowhere to go. "This shows that Yang was not hanged in Mavai, because there was no blood when she was hanged.
Poems such as "I invite you to rest and wash the lotus blood" and "Too loyal to dye horseshoes" in Li Yi's Biography of Yang Taizhen and Bai Yuan Poetry School also reflect the scene that Yang Guifei was killed by the rebels and beheaded by the sword. Du Mu's "Tang Guo Poetry Supplement" is "shouting horse blood and smashing the feather forest cannon"; Ai Jiangtou, for example, thinks that Yang Guifei's blood splashed on her ponytail without being killed.
Swallow gold and die.
There are other possibilities for Yang Guifei's death. For example, some people say that she swallowed gold and died. This statement can only be found in Liu Yuxi's poem "Crossing the Horsetail". Liu's poem once wrote: "The green fields are full of wind, the yellow dust is full of horses, the roadside is full of nobles, and the grave is three or four feet high. You ask, they all say that Shu is lucky, the army is stronger than Shu, and the emperor gave up the demon queen. A group of collectors landed on the screen at the door. The nobles wore the emperor's clothes.
Teacher Chen Yinque was very curious about this, and made two ponytail researches. Some people suspect that "noble people drink gold scraps" comes from "Li", so it is different from public opinion. However, Chen Ye did not rule out the possibility that Yang Guifei swallowed gold before hanging herself, which is what was said in Thirty Rhymes of Huaqing Palace.
The emperor returned from Shu and ordered the ambassador to China to pay tribute to him and rebury the imperial edict. Li Mao, assistant minister of rites, said: "The soldiers of Wu Long are loyal to the country and responsible for the country's chaos." I'm afraid the soldiers will get suspicious and the funeral is not feasible. "This is a check. He was buried in his own place under the rule of the empire. At first glance, the purple mattress was covered with broken skin, but the sachet was still there. Temple officials offer sacrifices, and gods see sorrows and joys, and characters in other temples are shaped, which can be seen day and night.
