The mystery of Yang Guifei An Lushan's scandal. Why did An Lushan cry bitterly for several days after Yang Guifei died?

Speaking of ancient scandals, there is really no way around An Lushan and Yang Guifei, because even great historians like Sima Guang embellished the two of them in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", so that This rumor spread more and more and became a big joke.

Among the various rumors about Concubine Yang Guifei and An Lushan, the most shocking one is the well-known "baptism of three rites". Previously, in order to flatter Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan called the young Concubine Yang "Mother" and suddenly became the godson of the old couple.

According to the custom at that time, children should bathe and wash three days after their birthday, which is called "washing three days". But what is unexpected is that Yang Guifei, who is the most beloved in the harem, gave her godson a baptism ceremony. Before An Lushan's rebellion, he was deeply appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was even given a grand reward on his birthday. Concubine Yang even gave the warrior a baptism in the palace three days after his birthday.

The occasion arranged by Concubine Yang for An Lushan was grace, but she did not inform Tang Xuanzong in advance. However, because they were having too much fun in the harem, the hilarity spread to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After questioning, I found out that Concubine Yang Guifei and An Lushan were performing a baptism ceremony in the palace. However, what is unexpected is that Tang Xuanzong not only was not angry, but also rewarded them.

This story was originally an unofficial rumor, but Sima Guang, who used history as a guide, recorded it in "Zizhi Tongjian" to remind the emperors of the Song Dynasty not to imitate Tang Xuanzong's debauchery. . Of course, even Sima Guang wrote in this way, which also revealed the extent of the spread of the scandal between Yang Guifei and An Lushan.

Based on this historical background, there are naturally countless unofficial histories surrounding them. One of them is what the subject mentioned, that is, after the death of Concubine Yang, An Lushan cried for several days.

After An Lushan captured Tongguan, Tang Xuanzong was so frightened that he fled overnight. Unfortunately, due to lack of preparation and failure to bring enough food and grass, the imperial army mutinied in Maweiyi. At the critical moment, Chen Xuanli came up with the idea of ??"abandoning the chariot to save the commander", shifting all the responsibility to Yang Guozhong, Yang Guifei and others, and executed them to eliminate public anger.

In fact, An Lushan had no intention of thinking about Concubine Yang at that time. In his eyes, the country of the Tang Dynasty was the most attractive. Moreover, An Lushan and Yang Guifei in history cannot be so unclear. However, as the rumors grew more and more, a poignant and beautiful affair between An Lushan and Yang Guifei was created.

So, after the Maweiyi Incident, An Lushan did not mourn for several days because of the death of Concubine Yang. On the contrary, he was busy plundering and chasing Tang Xuanzong at this time. You know, when life and death are at stake, how can you care about a female prostitute?
