The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Not long after the afternoon movie ended, the evening live broadcast time arrived as scheduled.

People from all dynasties and generations have already made preparations in advance and are waiting for Su Chen to start.

"Good evening everyone, I am the anchor Su Chen. Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast."

Su Chen started the live broadcast full of energy, and greetings from ancient people from various dynasties instantly filled the entire live broadcast room.

After a while, it was almost done, and Su Chen enthusiastically started tonight's live broadcast.

"The anchor knows that everyone is waiting impatiently, so he won't waste everyone's time and will directly start the first session tonight."

"Before answering the question about Yang Yuhuan, the host will first give you a brief account of Yang Guifei's life story."

Yang Guifei, Yang Yuhuan, is one of the four great beauties in ancient times and is considered a legendary figure.

She first married Prince Shou Li Mao and they were husband and wife for five years.

But later she was favored by Li Mao's father, Li Longji, who tried every means to make Yang Yuhuan his concubine.

When the Anshi Rebellion finally broke out, the insignificant Yang Guifei became a victim.

In fact, Yang Yuhuan was a pitiful woman who was exploited throughout her life.

The people she loved all betrayed her in the end, and none of the people she loved protected her in the end.

"In the seventh year of the Kaiyuan Period of the Tang Dynasty, a baby girl was born."

"This baby girl has a very interesting background. Her great-grandfather's father was once a senior official of the Sui Dynasty, and her father was a household official in Shuzhou."

"The Sui Dynasty was replaced by the Tang Dynasty because Emperor Yang of Sui was eager for quick success and took tyranny as his political achievement."

"This official was also killed by Li Shimin, so the little girl lived with her father for ten years."

"Because of his father's death, he had no choice but to entrust the child to his uncle, who was a local official in Luoyang, Henan."

"After she turned ten, the baby girl grew into a girl and has been living in Luoyang, Henan."

"And the girl's name is Yang Yuhuan."

"Yang Yuhuan was not the type of woman who changed a lot after growing up, but she was beautiful from birth."

"Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" describes her as, born with a beautiful character, hard to give up, once chosen to be by the emperor's side."

"Moreover, Yang Yuhuan's father and relatives all served as officials."

"Growing up in this environment, Yang Yuhuan was not only beautiful but also knowledgeable."

"She has a gentle personality and is multi-talented. She can sing, dance, and play the pipa very well."

"In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, the ruler of the Tang Empire at that time, Emperor Xuanzong, had a daughter named Princess Xianyi, and they held their wedding in Luoyang."

"Because my uncle was a local official, he was invited, and Yang Yuhuan also followed my uncle to the banquet."

"Princess Xianyi has a younger brother, Prince Shou Li Mao, who is also attending the wedding."

"When Prince Shou Li Mao saw that Yang Yuhuan was beautiful, like a fairy, he immediately fell in love with her."

"After Li Mao returned home, he told his mother, Concubine Wu Huifei, that he had fallen in love with Yang Yuhuan."

"Concubine Wu Huifei told the emperor about it, but Emperor Xuanzong didn't take it seriously and just arranged the marriage for them."

"Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan got married and lived a peaceful life."

"They love each other, have no worries, and live a pretty good life."

"After a while, Concubine Wu Huifei, who had arranged their marriage, fell ill and passed away."

"This time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was very sad, because this concubine was his most beloved."

Su Shi: Yang Guifei was a beautiful woman with flaws, but she was very much loved by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

China has a long history of thousands of years, during which countless literati and heroes have emerged. Since ancient times, stories about heroes and beauties have attracted people's attention the most.

People tend to be more interested in outstanding people and things, and there have been many famous beauties in history.

Each of them has the title of the most beautiful woman in their time, and they each have their own unique charm and special experience.

Yang Yuhuan was born in the Tang Dynasty and was the imperial concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Yang Yuhuan followed Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for many years, but many people know about two physical defects of Yang Yuhuan.

Ordinary people could not tolerate it, but Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was very pleased with it and liked it very much.

One of Yang Yuhuan's flaws was her strong body odor, or body odor.

After all, Yang Yuhuan was indeed plump, so she sweated a lot, which led to her body odor problem.

And it's quite serious and can't be covered up at all.

Once you sweat, the smell becomes even stronger.

In order to solve this problem, Yang Yuhuan would bathe every day, using floral and fruity scents to cover it up, but to little avail.

In order to cover up the smell on her body, Yang Yuhuan tried every possible way.

Yang Yuhuan had a talent, which was the ability to make perfume.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were already many spices.

Yang Yuhuan specifically used fresh flowers and some spices from the Western Regions and added them to her bath water.

In this way, the smell of her body was covered up by the fragrance.

And she takes a bath several times a day, so the smell of body odor is almost covered by the fragrance.

In addition to this, Yang Yuhuan had another trick, which was to carry agarwood with her.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang particularly liked the smell of agarwood, so Yang Yuhuan's indoor incense was all agarwood, and her clothes were also fumigated with agarwood.

When she went out, she would crush the agarwood and carry it with her.

In this way, no matter how many processes are used or how many fragrances are used, the body odor on Yang Yuhuan's body will naturally be covered up.

It was impossible for Yang Yuhuan to keep covering it up like this, especially when she was serving the emperor in bed.

When two people are so close to each other's skin, the smell can't be hidden, and no matter how strong the fragrance is, it's hard to cover it up.

But Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's love for Yang Yuhuan reached a crazy point.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang didn't care about Yang Yuhuan's body odor at all. He even described the smell as a strange fragrance and said that he particularly liked this fragrance.

The power of love is truly amazing.

The second flaw of Yang Yuhuan was that she snored at night, which made it impossible for people around her to fall asleep.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang liked it very much, probably because Yang Yuhuan was snoring, and he had fewer nightmares.

But unfortunately, even if Emperor Xuanzong of Tang liked Yang Yuhuan very much.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was forced to execute Yang Yuhuan in order to save his own life.

This woman, whom Emperor Xuanzong of Tang doted on all his life, later became the subject of the eternal masterpiece "The Battle of Mawei Slope".

"After Wu Huifei's death, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang skipped breakfast every day, was depressed at night, and searched the palace for a new lover who could soothe his love pain."

"After searching for a long time, I found it on my son Li Mao."

"When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang saw that his daughter-in-law was as beautiful as a fairy, he had evil thoughts and summoned Yang Yuhuan to the harem the next day to have some fun with her."

"Li Mao was so sad and angry that he almost fainted."

"But he was a coward and didn't dare to disobey the emperor, so he could only endure it silently."

"Once Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, she achieved a triple jump. She and the emperor enjoyed each other's company every night and were very happy."

"But Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was a little worried, because after all, this was stealing his own daughter-in-law."

"First, the common people are prone to gossip, and second, the ministers in the court love to meddle in their own family affairs."

"So in the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang prayed for blessings for his mother, Empress Dowager Dou."

"Order Yang Yuhuan to go to a Taoist temple to become a nun first, to avoid the current public opinion."

"Wait until everyone calms down, then take her back."

"So Yang Guifei stayed in the Taoist temple for five years and worked as a Taoist priest for five years. Her Taoist name was Taizhen."

"Yang Yuhuan was somewhat disheartened at this time. She felt that the emperor might just be a temporary novelty."

"I've had enough fun and pretended to take you back in a few years, but in fact I sent you away completely. She wrongly blamed Emperor Xuanzong of Tang."

"Because five years later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang arranged another marriage for Prince Shou."

"What I mean is that even though I stole your wife, I will give you one as compensation, and we are even now."

"After arranging the marriage, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang immediately brought Yang Yuhuan back and made her his imperial concubine."

"There is no empress in Emperor Xuanzong's harem for the time being, so Yang Yuhuan, the imperial concubine, is almost the same as the empress."

"After Yang Guifei returned to the palace, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang wrote a song specifically for her, called "Dance of Colorful Skirts and Feathered Robes."

"Whenever you have nothing to do, just play it for Yang Yuhuan to listen to, and talk while you listen."

"Getting Yang Guifei today means getting a precious treasure."

Ouyang Xiu: This is Li Bai's most corny poem, which praises Yang Guifei to the sky, but it also created a pair of famous lines that have been passed down through the ages.

Among Li Bai's countless works throughout his life, the most disgusting poem was the one that praised Yang Guifei to the sky.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was extremely obedient to Yang Guifei. It happened that the peonies in the palace were in full bloom, and Emperor Xuanzong was so delighted to see Yang Guifei that he put on a song and dance on the spot.

But both Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei were talented writers, especially the knowledgeable Emperor Xuanzong. Such beautiful scenery inspired him to write poetry.

Suffering from a lack of good ideas, he summoned Li Bai, who was working in the palace at the time, to the palace to write poetry.

Li Bai was already 43 years old at that time.

Since leaving his hometown to travel far away, Li Bai's official career has been very bumpy.

It was only through the recommendation of He Zhizhang that he was appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty to work in the palace. The process of entering the officialdom was very sad and not easy.

Li Bai was a heroic and free-spirited man. Even the literati in the world disdained to write poems to please the emperor.

But after drinking two ounces of wine, the immortal poet only had poetry in his eyes, not this world.

After drinking, Li Bai wrote "Qing Ping Diao" with great effort, praising Yang Guifei to the utmost, which made Emperor Xuanzong of Tang applaud.

Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful and beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing.

If it weren't for Qunyu Shantou, we would meet at Yaotai.

This poem "Qingping Diao" can be regarded as Li Bai's most disgusting poem.

The clouds resemble clothes and the flowers resemble face. The word "like" is used to compare Yang Guifei's clothes to a colorful dress and her face to be as beautiful and charming as a peony.

The spring breeze blows on the threshold, and the dew on the peony flowers is used to further express the beauty of Yang Guifei, while also implying that the king favors her with the spring breeze.

Both Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei loved "Qingping Diao" very much. Yang Guifei often recited it, and Li Bai gained favor because of it.

Unfortunately, not long after that, Li Bai suffered another setback in his official career due to the incident of Gao Lishi taking off his shoes, and lost his future in the court.

The reason why the Immortal Poet is called the Immortal Poet is that he devoted his whole heart to poetry and achieved such accomplishments.

"Qingping Diao" is also known as a famous line through the ages. It is widely circulated and has a very high status in poetry.

"Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not satisfied with writing a song for Yang Guifei, he also gave her a precious parrot."

"This parrot is very smart. It can learn whatever you say."

"But later the parrot was pecked to death by an eagle. Emperor Xuanzong was very sad and built a tomb for the parrot."

"Emperor Xuanzong was so sad when a parrot died, you can imagine how much he loved Yang Guifei." "This time Yang Guifei can finally feel at ease, Emperor Xuanzong's obsession and doting on her has reached a certain level."

"When Concubine Yang gained power, all her relatives benefited from it."

"My eldest sister, third sister, and eighth sister were all given the title of Madam, and all the brothers were given high positions and generous salaries."

"Her distant cousin, named Yang Zhao, was originally a rogue."

"Emperor Xuanzong of Tang gave him the name Guozhong and rewarded him greatly. Later, he was promoted all the way to become the prime minister."

"Of course there are exceptions. In the fifth year of Tianbao, the emperor and Yang Guifei had a quarrel."

"Yang Guifei became arrogant due to her favor, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was very angry, so he sent Yang Guifei back to her parents' home."

"But as soon as Yang Guifei left, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang couldn't stand it anymore."

"I have no appetite, and I can't even enjoy my meals. I just miss Yang Guifei all day long."

"He had no choice but to send his trusted eunuch Gao Lishi to bring Concubine Yang back."

"This quarrel and leaving the palace may be caused by the occasional gap in the couple's life and the disharmony."

"But in the ninth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang once again sent Concubine Yang back to her hometown."

"This time, it was done intentionally by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. His purpose was to use Concubine Yang to strike a blow to the arrogance of the Yang family."

"The relatives of the Yang family have become arrogant and domineering after seeing Concubine Yang gain power."

"When the emperor's sister saw the three sisters of the Yang family, she only dared to give up her seat but did not dare to sit down."

"Tang Xuanzong's daughter, Princess Xincheng, had conflicts with the Yang family and was bullied by them every day."

"Tang Xuanzong has been thinking about this day by day. When I give you a little favor, you don't know which is which, and whether the world belongs to the Li family or the Yang family."

"This trick really worked. The Yang family panicked, thinking that this was too much, but they were too embarrassed to come forward to plead for mercy."

Du Fu: Yang Guifei was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for more than ten years. They were together day and night, but unfortunately she could not have children.

All the beauties in the palace pale in comparison, and she is the only one favored by the emperor.

The favor that Yang Guifei received from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was rare among the concubines in history.

However, although Yang Guifei was greatly favored by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

However, there is also a huge regret, that is, Yang Guifei did not give birth to a son or a daughter.

He believed that there were many reasons why Yang Guifei did not have children.

First, Yang Guifei herself was infertile.

Yang Guifei was originally married to Prince Shou Li Mao, and she lived with Li Mao for three years.

During these three years, Yang Guifei did not get pregnant.

She had not gotten pregnant for three consecutive years, so it was very likely that Yang Guifei was infertile.

This may have a lot to do with the fact that Yang Guifei was fat. Fat people have low fertility.

Second, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was too old.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was sixty years old when he married Yang Guifei, which was very old.

Even if they are men, they may have lost their fertility and cannot have children anymore.

After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang married Yang Guifei, he did not have any children with other concubines, which shows that Emperor Xuanzong was infertile at that time.

Third, Yang Guifei tried her best to curry favor with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, which ruined her health.

The reason why Yang Guifei was favored by all the emperors was not just because she was beautiful, but because she flattered Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Without this, it would have been difficult for Yang Guifei to achieve great favor.

Yang Guifei was fat, and fat people are actually not suitable for dancing.

If a person is as thin as Zhao Feiyan, as light as a swallow, she is a natural dancer.

The fat Yang Guifei was obviously not suitable for this kind of dancing.

But Emperor Xuanzong of Tang liked watching dancing, there was nothing he could do about it, so Yang Guifei had to try her best to show herself.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang liked to watch dancing, as evidenced by the case of An Lushan.

An Lushan was also very fat and needed support to walk.

But after arriving at the Tang Palace, An Lushan danced the Hu Xuan dance in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, spinning like a top.

An Lushan, who was so fat, was able to perform the dance, which showed how much effort he put in.

Yang Guifei wanted to express herself, so she pursued perfection in dance practice.

The song she danced to, "Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat", became a masterpiece in the history of dance.

It is very likely that Yang Guifei damaged her body due to dancing and thus became infertile.

"This time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was more patient and did not contact Yang Guifei for a long time."

"Although Emperor Xuanzong of Tang appeared ruthless on the surface, he could not suppress his agitation and longing in his heart."

"Tang Xuanzong sent someone to visit Yang Guifei. When Yang Guifei saw that someone was looking at her, she cut off a lock of her hair and gave it to the person."

"The man took the hair back to show it to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and the sight of it reminded him of the man."

"When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang saw that guy, he couldn't stand it. He was heartbroken and thought that Yang Guifei would suffer more in her family, so he immediately brought her back."

"Yang Guifei knew that Emperor Xuanzong loved her and couldn't leave her."

"When the Yang family saw that the emperor favored them so much, they became proud again."

"The Yang family wandered around everywhere, going everywhere, even to the imperial palace and the forbidden area, without even saying hello."

"At this time, Yang Guifei's cousin Yang Guozhong had been promoted to prime minister. In addition, he held more than 40 positions."

"Absolute power will ruin the country and undermine the government."

"Anyway, after becoming a high-ranking official, he has never done anything good."

"In the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan, the governor of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, started a rebellion."

"The reason for the rebellion is to eliminate the corrupt officials around the emperor, that is, to purge the emperor's side."

"It sounds nice, but An Lushan is not a good guy either."

"He had long been planning a rebellion, and he led another rebel, Shi Siming, to rise up in rebellion, which is known in history as the An-Shi Rebellion."

"The rebels are strong and heading straight for Chang'an."

"When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang saw this, he was shocked and quickly took Concubine Yang Guozhong and his soldiers and court officials to escape to Sichuan."

"Passing by a place called Maweiyi, the guards protecting the emperor, led by Chen Xuanli, suddenly mutinied."

"I demand that the emperor execute Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei. If he doesn't kill them, then I will kill you all together."

"Tang Xuanzong felt that it didn't matter whether Yang Guozhong lived or died, and he had no opinion."

"But Yang Guifei was his favorite woman, she never participated in government affairs, and she was not a traitor. I ask that Yang Guifei be released."

"The soldiers were not happy when they heard this, and they hacked Yang Guozhong to death and demanded that the beautiful and troublesome Yang Guifei be executed."

"After much deliberation, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang reluctantly gave up his love for Yang Guifei and gave her a piece of white silk. Yang Guifei then hanged herself to death."

Zhu Di: A small joke caused such a big disturbance.

A lavish birthday party was held in the Tang Dynasty Palace, but the protagonist was a plain-looking general with a fat beard.

Yang Guifei personally poured wine for him, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was even more excited to adopt him as his son.

Behind this seemingly warm family dinner, there is a vortex of power that is enough to subvert the Tang Dynasty.

During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the city of Chang'an was prosperous.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, worked hard to govern the country for more than 40 years and created the Kaiyuan Prosperity.

However, in his later years, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang became addicted to sensual pleasures and left all state affairs to powerful ministers.

After entering the palace, Yang Guifei was deeply favored and her family also gained power.

On the other hand, the Hu general An Lushan rose to prominence thanks to his military achievements and gained control of a large army.

The relationship between these three people became the key to influencing the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

On An Lushan's birthday, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei specially prepared a banquet for him.

After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang suddenly had an idea and said he wanted to adopt An Lushan as his adopted son.

This was no small matter. It was equivalent to giving An Lushan an extremely high status, and Yang Guifei also became An Lushan's godmother.

From then on, this crude Hu general could enter and leave the harem at will, and even eat at the same table with Yang Guifei.

The outside world was talking about this, but Emperor Xuanzong of Tang didn't care at all.

On the third day after adopting him as her godson, Yang Guifei summoned An Lushan into the palace and said she wanted to give him a three-day ceremony.

This is a custom of bathing newborn babies, but when it is used on this burly foreign man, the scene is really funny.

When An Lushan was wrapped in swaddling clothes with his big head exposed, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang heard about this, he was not angry, but rewarded the two men generously.

From then on, An Lushan entered and left the harem more unscrupulously, and often had long conversations with Yang Guifei all night long.

Such intimacy inevitably aroused people's imagination, but Emperor Xuanzong of Tang turned a blind eye to it.

On the surface, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Yang Guifei and An Lushan were living in harmony.

But in reality, everyone has his or her own little calculations in mind.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was old and was worried about not being able to find a capable assistant.

An Lushan was brave and good at fighting, which was just right for him to guard the border.

Yang Guifei hoped to consolidate her position with the help of An Lushan.

As for An Lushan, with the support of the emperor and the imperial concubine, his ambition expanded to the extreme.

But the good times did not last long, and the court ministers' dissatisfaction with An Lushan grew day by day.

Prime Minister Yang Guozhong hated his godson so much that he slandered An Lushan to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang many times, saying that An Lushan had rebellious intentions.

At first, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not take it seriously, but after hearing more and more, he began to become suspicious.

So he secretly sent people to investigate An Lushan, but unexpectedly they were discovered by Yang Guifei, who secretly informed him.

When An Lushan learned about this, he felt that his future was hopeless.

After some discussion, we decided that it would be better to strike first than to sit and wait for death.

Thus, a rebellion broke out that was enough to change the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

The rebels were unstoppable and quickly captured Chang'an and Luoyang.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled in a hurry with Yang Guifei, but encountered a mutiny on the way.

The soldiers blamed all the faults on Yang Guifei and demanded her execution.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty gave an order with tears in his eyes, ordering the death of his most beloved woman.

In this power game, no one got anything good in the end.

An Lushan was killed by his subordinates a few years after he became emperor. Yang Guifei died, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang spent the rest of his life in regret. (End of this chapter)
