My school sweetheart

The old monk said slowly, "disciple's name is Mingde. It's from rigaoye, the most famous Buddhist holy land in the two books. In that year, master Jianzhen became a Buddha in rigaoye, leaving a Buddhist relic."

Xu Lang couldn't help but be stunned. Although he had heard of the saying of "Buddha relic" before, he didn't expect that there really existed Buddha relic. He quickly asked, "and then?"

Master Mingde looked at Xu Lang, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then slowly said: "Buddha, do you know which of the four beauties in ancient China is the most legendary?"

Xu Lang doesn't know why the old monk talked about the four beauties, but as far as Xu Lang knows, of the four beauties, Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Zhaojun and Yang Guifei, the most beautiful, legendary, mysterious and powerful one is Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Lang immediately said: "it should be Yang Guifei."

At this point, Xu Lang's mind seems to think of something, all about Yang Guifei anecdotes.

According to historical records, Yang Guifei was gifted, good at welcoming and worshiping, familiar with music, good at singing and dancing, and beautiful. Tang Xuanzong indulged in Yang Guifei's beauty, and lived a life of "spring night, bitter short day, since then the king did not reign early".

However, the outbreak of the an Shi rebellion awakened their dreams. After Yang Guifei fled to maweipo with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, she unfortunately became the victim of the war, and her whereabouts are still being pursued by later generations.

The smoke and dust of jiuzhong City Palace is growing, and thousands of people ride on the southwest gate.

Cuihua swayed and stopped again, leaving the capital gate for more than 100 li in the West.

The six armies had no choice but to die in front of the horse.

There is no one to collect the flowers and pearls, but there is no one to scratch the head.

The king hid his face and could not save him. He looked back at the flow of blood and tears.

However, whether Yang Guifei really died in maweipo has become a permanent historical mystery.

Xu Lang likes beauties, and naturally he has learned some stories about the four beauties.

It is said that Yang Yuhuan may have died in the Buddhist temple. It is recorded in the biography of Yang Guifei in the old book of Tang Dynasty that after Chen Xuanli, the general of the Imperial Guard, killed Yang Guozhong and his son, he thought that "the thief was still there" and asked to kill Yang Guifei again to avoid future trouble. Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to say goodbye to his concubine and "hanged himself in the Buddhist chamber.". According to Zizhi Tongjian Tang Ji, Emperor Xuanzong ordered eunuch Gao Lishi to take Yang Guifei to the Buddhist hall and hang her to death. According to the supplement to the history of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Lishi hanged Yang Guifei under a pear tree in the Buddhist hall. Chen Hong's "song of everlasting regret" records that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty knew that Yang Guifei would inevitably die, but he could not bear to see her die, so he led her away and "rushed around and died under the chi group". It is recorded in Yueshi's Yang Taizhen waizhuan that when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty said goodbye to Yang Guifei, she "begged for the Buddha.". Gao Lishi then hanged his concubine under a pear tree in front of the Buddhist hall.

It was also said that Yang Guifei might have died in the army. This theory can be seen in some Tang poems. Du Fu wrote a poem "Ai Jiang tou" in Chang'an, which was occupied by Anlu mountain in the second year of Zhide (757 A.D.), in which there is a sentence "where are the bright eyes and white teeth now, and you can't return to your soul with blood pollution", implying that Yang Guifei was not hanged at Mawei post, because there would be no blood when she was hanged. Li Yi's Qijue "crossing Mawei" and Qilu "crossing Mawei two songs" contain poems such as "asking the king to stop washing lotus blood" and "too real blood stains the horse's hooves", which also reflect the scene of Yang Guifei's death under the edge of the sword. Du Mu's "thirty rhymes of Huaqing Palace" and Zhang you's "thirty rhymes of Huaqing Palace" also think that Yang Guifei's blood splashing on Mawei post is not hanging.

However, according to folklore, there are other possibilities for Yang Guifei's death. For example, some people say that she died by swallowing gold. This view can only be seen in the poem maweixing used by Liu Yuxi. Liu's poem once wrote: "green field Fufeng Road, yellow dust Mawei line, roadside Yang Guiren, grave height three or four feet. When they asked Li Zhonger, they all said that they were lucky in Shu, the army killed the sycophants, and the Emperor gave up the demons. Group officials fumen screen, the emperor led clothes, low turn beautiful eyes, the wind for the sky. When you drink gold scraps, you will not be happy? In the evening, I'll take apricot pills all my life, and the color is just as it used to be. " Judging from this poem, Yang Guifei died by swallowing gold.

Others believe that Yang Guifei did not die in Mawei post, but was exiled among the people. Yang Guifei did not die in Mawei post. At that time, the six armies mutinied, the imperial concubines were robbed, and the Chai and Dian were appointed to the site. The poem clearly stated that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty could not be saved. Therefore, the edict of death in the official history would never have existed at that time. Bai Juyi's song of everlasting regret says that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to bury Yang Guifei after he returned to Luan. The result is that "there is no dead place for Yu Yan under the mud on the Mawei slope". Even the bones can't be found, which clearly indicates that Yang Guifei is not dead.

There is a strange saying that Yang Guifei left America. Wei Juxian, a scholar of T-Bay, claimed in his book "the discovery of America by Chinese", that he found out that Yang Guifei did not die in Mawei post, but was taken to distant America.

There is also a saying that Yang Guifei escaped from the second edition. The folk and academic circles have such a view: at that time, it was a maid who was hanged in Mawei post. Imperial General Chen Xuanli cherishes the beauty of the imperial concubine and can't bear to kill her. So he conspires with eunuch Gao Lishi and finds a servant girl to replace her. Yang Guifei, escorted by Chen Xuanli's confidants, fled south to the present Shanghi, sailed out to sea, and floated to kutanmachi, Kujin, er ben, where she died.When he was in high school, he was even more fascinated by the mystery of how he spent money on reading beauty books ？ Where did you die?

Of course, it can be imagined that for more than a thousand years, many historical experts and scholars have not come to a conclusion. Xu Lang, a little boy, naturally can't find out why.

Xu Lang only knew that although Yang Guifei was not a queen, she was more powerful than the queen. She was a powerful woman in the Tang Dynasty at that time. The spring night was bitter and the day was short. Since then, the king did not go to court early. Think about it, what a beautiful woman she should be if she could let the emperor go to court early and accompany her every day!

Xu Lang also knows that Yang Guifei is the most favorite person to eat lychee in history. It can be said that lychee is one of Yang Guifei's favorite food in her life. He also read in history books that Tang Xuanzong was tired to death in order to get the freshest lychee from Guangdong and Guangxi provinces at that time and transport it to Chang'an. He didn't know how many horses and soldiers, just to win a smile.

Therefore, Yang Guifei also has a nickname in history, which is called "litchi beauty".

Xu Lang didn't expect that a classical beauty he was obsessed with when he was a student would think of today. After hearing master Mingde's question, he seemed to think of something. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "master, would you tell me that the princess Yang didn't die, but escaped to the second edition?"

Old monk Mingde nodded slowly, "Buddha, it's true. Not only that, Yang Guifei, a schemer, is greedy for beauty. In order to stay young forever, she stole the relic of master Jianzhen."

On hearing this, Xu Lang was shocked again. He widened his eyes and asked, "wait, don't speak so fast. First, tell me how Yang Guifei got involved with master Jianzhen? Do they know each other? "

Later, old monk Mingde told Xu Lang about it. Xu Lang knew the truth.

Great monk Jianzhen is a famous monk who went to Japan to preach Dharma in the Tang Dynasty. The two books are often called "master of crossing the sea" and "great monk of the Tang Dynasty". Yangzhou, 14 years old in Yangzhou Daming Temple monks. He once toured Chang'an and Luoyang. Finally, he became a generation of eminent monks.

At that time, the two Buddhist precepts were not complete, and monks could not follow the precepts. In 733 ad, Rong and Puzhao, monks, sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and invited eminent monks to teach the commandments. After a ten-year visit, I decided to invite Jianzhen. In 742 (the first year of Tang Tianbao), Jian Zhen, regardless of his disciples' dissuasion, resolutely answered the invitation and decided to go eastward. Due to the obstruction of local officials and the dangerous wind and waves on the sea, the trip failed four times. When he drifted to Hainan Island for the fifth time, Rong died and Jianzhen was blind.

On February 1, 754, Fujiwara Nakamura, an important minister, welcomed him in Hanoi. On February 4, Jianzhen and his party arrived in Nara, and led Japanese Buddhist affairs with another local Huayan monk, "shaosengdu" liangbian, who was titled "chuandeng * Shi" and honored as "great monk".

Jianzhen's eastward journey is of great historical significance, which promotes the cultural exchanges and development between China and the United States. Buddhism has been more widely spread to East Asia, which has had a positive and far-reaching impact on the religious and cultural development of the two countries and enhanced the friendship between the two peoples.

And "Tianbao" is the title of Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guifei's husband. In terms of time, after Yang Guifei fled to the second edition, it was the most prosperous and glorious period of the second edition. Yang Guifei fled here. It is reasonable to seek the help of master Jianzhen for peace.

However, Xu Lang got an unexpected message from old monk Mingde.

According to old monk Mingde, at that time, the great monk Jianzhen was blind and could not see the visitors, but he had a compassionate heart. Moreover, Yang Yuhuan was a national Mother level figure from his country's "Western Tang Dynasty". With compassion, the great monk Jianzhen took in Yang Guifei and used his power to keep her.

At that time, Yang Guifei was only in her thirties, and she was in her youth. However, the great monk Jianzhen was in his twilight years. With his Buddhist cultivation, it was time to become a Buddha.

Yang Guifei witnessed master Jianzhen become a Buddha. In order to keep her beauty, she stole master Jianzhen's Buddhist relics.

How can Xu Lang not be surprised to learn that they are all from their own country. Yang Guifei has been lost abroad. She is greedy for beauty and can't steal other people's relics!

Xu Lang calmed his mood a little, and then asked in a hurry: "what should Yang Guifei do after she stole the relic? Can we keep our youth forever? "

Master Mingde said slowly, "in fact, she can live forever."

On hearing this, Xu Lang was shocked again. He couldn't help standing up and said, "what? You mean, she's still alive? "
