of the Legend:
Yang Yuhuan was natural beauty who was deeply doted by Tang Emperor
Xuanzong, and was conferred title of Guifei
(nobility as the highest-ranking imperial concubine). At that
time, An Lushan, a brave warrior being good at fighting border wars
had repeatedly gallanted. The
Emperor doted and promoted him as military governor. An Lushan
regarded Guifei as his mother and when he came to imperial court he
must hold banquet as farewell dinner for joyous meeting.
They lingered all night through, scandals were spreading
outside the court. Later, An Lushan rebelled from Shanxi Province by
sending out troops to attack Luoyang , and later took over Tongguan.
He wantonly burned, killed and robbed in the conquered land in the
most extremely proportion. The
Emperior escaped in fright into Sichuan. This history is known as
"the Turmoil of Anshi” in Tang Dynasty. His own son finally
killed An Lushan and Guifei was ordered by imperial decree to hang
herself to death at Makuipo.
