Is the love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan really worthy of praise?
The love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan was stolen. "History as a Mirror" records: "When Wu Huifei died, thousands of people in the harem were indifferent. Or the beauty of Wang Yang, the birthday girl, is unparalleled. Welcome at first sight. Is to let the princess go to the female officer, the number is too real. What's more, Shouwang married Zuo and Wei's daughter. Hide in the palace. Too muscular, know the rhythm, alert and smart, good for you. Don't want to be old, spoil like a princess. The palace is called' madam' and all the instruments are like queens. " As can be seen from this written record, Yang Yuhuan is Li Longji's daughter-in-law, and a word "latent" reveals that Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan are secretly married. It is against ethics for Jia Weng to marry a daughter-in-law, so what is there to celebrate about love? Yang Yuhuan married Li Longji when he was young, while Li Longji was an old man in his fifties and sixties. Li Longji is "the old cow eats the young grass", just like Weng Fan, who is in her twenties, married Yang Zhenning in her eighties. How many people praise their love?
Is Yang Yuhuan's marriage to Li Longji awe of the emperor's authority, or jealousy of the emperor's supreme power and covet of wealth? Judging from Yang Yuhuan's pampering, she married Li Longji mainly for wealth and, of course, for fear of imperial power, while Li Longji lusted after Yang Yuhuan's beauty. It's really cabbage, and everyone has his own love. From this point of view, the marriage between Li and Yang obviously has the elements of "power and money trading, sex trading". Just like some young beautiful women are married to old corrupt officials whose wives are dead, or celebrities in the entertainment circle are mistresses by senior officials, they are despised. What is there to praise?
In fact, the love between Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji is not pure. She was having an affair with An Lushan. Yang Yuhuan recognized An Lushan as his adopted son. "An Lushan, of course, can't help but enter the palace, or eat with the imperial concubine, or stay up all night. There are many ugliness in the world, and he doesn't doubt it in the world. " Perhaps the former Li Man Longji couldn't meet Yang Yuhuan's sexual needs, and Yang Yuhuan wanted to get sexual supplements from extramarital affairs, so the relationship with An Lushan was ambiguous. Is love mixed with extramarital affairs worthy of praise?
Tang really loved Yang Guifei, and tried his best to make her live a luxurious life, giving generous gifts to her brothers and sisters, which greatly satisfied her vanity. However, in the second year of An Shi Rebellion, Emperor Tang Ming fled with Yang Guifei. There was a mutiny in Majiaopo, and Prime Minister Yang was killed by the sergeant. In the steep situation where public anger is hard to control, "Gao Lishi was ordered to lead the imperial concubine to the Buddhist temple and kill her. Take the body to the post office and invite Li Xuan and others to see it. " In times of crisis, Li Longji only cared about his own life and the throne, and ordered the death of his loved ones, which fully exposed the ruthless side of feudal emperors' love. The harsh facts prove once again that there is no true love in the royal family. The vow of eternal love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan is so fragile and fragile. As can be seen from historical records, after the execution was ordered, Chen and others were called to the post office for autopsy, indicating that they must have died at that time. If Yang Yuhuan hadn't died, would the mutiny of the sergeant have been quelled? As for Yang Yuhuan's trip to Japan and becoming a monk, many versions of the legend are probably fabricated by boring scholars in later generations. Imagine how Yang Yuhuan, a weak woman in the deep palace who has always been spoiled, could escape to Japan across the sea in that war-torn era. The mutinous sergeant who endured hunger and fatigue hated Yang Yuhuan's guts, and he was determined to kill him. Who wants to create public indignation to protect Li Longji's little wife from death and cross to Japan? Whether it is "going to the East" or "becoming a monk", it is nonsense.
