How did the two fat men with the most negative reputation in history bring down the Tang Empire?

Are you fat? Most modern people think that obesity is a beautiful natural enemy, and obesity is most likely to cause "three highs", hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Fat is the natural enemy of beauty, so there is a classic joke in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The king of Chu had a thin waist and starved to death in his palace. However, in the Tang Dynasty, everything seemed to be upside down.

Someone once said, a beauty doesn't know when she gets on the horse. She is a beautiful woman in Qing Dynasty like Lin Daiyu. A beautiful woman on a horse does not "raise", but a beautiful woman like Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty. Probably born in the heyday of Kaiyuan, the living standard was greatly improved, and a large number of fat people appeared in the society, which gave birth to a fashion trend with "fat" as the beauty.

How did you get here? Look, the cloud wants clothes, flowers, and capacity, and the spring breeze blows open the threshold and reveals richness. Two months ago, a beautiful woman who was humming "Singing and Dancing" appeared shyly in front of the old man in Tang Dynasty, laughing like a peony.

For an instant, I was stunned by him. This beautiful woman can not only sing, but also dance. Although she is elegant, she is like a beautiful Luoyang peony, with a quiet dream on a moonlit night and a gentle spring breeze.

But when she danced, she stood on the solid Persian carpet slowly like the wind and kept spinning. Like a tornado, the dancing ribbon seemed to fly into the sky, like the goddess of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, and even more amazing, it seemed that no matter how she turned, she couldn't turn dizzy. What kind of dance is this?

This is from the dance of the literati-Hu Xuanwu, "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Rites and Music": "Hu Xuanwu, the dancer stands on the ball and rotates like the wind." "Yuefu Miscellanies" also said: "Hu Xuan dances with a small ball, and throws his feet vertically and horizontally without leaving the ball, which is wonderful."

Hu Xuan's dancing on the ball should be a derivative of Hu Xuan's dancing, with a certain acrobatic color. To be precise, it is a combination of acrobatics and dance.

Born beautiful, graceful, plump, good at singing and dancing, familiar with melody. Although he was old and highly educated, Tang Xuanzong found it difficult to find intimate friends. No matter whether the person in front of him was married or not, he just wanted to come over with the power of his own emperor.

Even if this woman has become her own son, Li Mao's concubine, the longevity king, it doesn't matter. Li Zhi, the elder of the Li family, once encountered this problem. However, it was the concubine of her father Li Shimin, Wu Zetian, who was first sent to Ganye Temple to become a monk, then made a letter to secularization and married home.

Many honest ministers objected, and Tang, who was carried away by love, showed the decisive side of the war, wrote "When will the bright moon be full, and the horizon will be * * * at this time", and drove Zhang Jiuling, the sages of Kaiyuan, out of Chang 'an one by one.

But the night in spring is short and the sun rises too fast. Since then, the emperor has given up his early hearing. My wife and I talked about life, music, dance and an album.

Because of fat, because of beauty, because of melody, because of dance, it becomes expensive, and so does the Yang family. Although their great-grandfather Wang Yang, Shangzhuguo and officials of the Sui Dynasty were all killed by Li Shimin. Envy, jealousy and hatred of others are definitely indispensable. In addition to Mei Fei and other harem concubines, there are many courtiers. Unfortunately, I don't know where the crux of the problem lies.

All this was noticed by another fat man, a real loser-An Lushan. You are also a fat man. You can be the woman in The Apprentice. I am a big fat man of 300 Jin. Why not? Since then, he has set ambitious goals.

You Yang Guifei won the trust of the old man, but I can't? When he had the opportunity to visit Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the same scene appeared. He is fat and has no intention. He worships my literary martial arts, just like Yang Guifei. What's more, this big fat man, although fat, danced Hu Xuan dance on the carpet, just like a whirlwind, and even Yang Guifei was shocked.

According to the biography of An Lushan in the Old Tang Dynasty, "(An Lushan) was obese and strong in his later years, with his abdomen hanging down and his knees weighing 330 Jin. He can only move by lifting his body on his shoulders. Before Xuanzong, Hu Xuan danced like the wind. "

A bosom friend, many people don't know how An Lushan won the trust of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, so don't look. I have worked hard. First of all, they made a profound study. How did Yang win favor? How many kilograms of fat people can do this?

You want beauty, I want country. Do what you need. Thus, the Millennium catastrophe that changed the course of history broke out.

Kin, countrymen, lovers and comrades are more likely to have emotional songs, such as Tang and Yang Guifei, especially Yang Guifei and An Lushan. Even they are similar to a great extent. Can they not help each other?

The pillow wind blows harder and harder, and Tang Gaozong attaches more and more importance to and trusts An Lushan. Moreover, I found that besides beauty, he has a better side than Fei Yang. Isn't it a surprise to lead troops to fight and expand the territory? It's perfect. No, no.

What about the people who are against An Lushan? Obviously, in Tang Xuanzong's mind, this is almost equivalent to denigrating Yang Guifei. Yang Guifei understands this truth better. He and the Anshi Rebellion, both of us are unhappy-we can't meet at the ends of the earth. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? .

They all climbed to the top by luck, and their fame spread all over the government and the public. Once the king doesn't trust them, he will fall off the altar with one move. Security is always lacking, so it must be two o'clock. The absolute attachment to Xuanzong clearly shows the fear of being "vilified".

It can be said that the alliance between An Lushan and Yang Guifei is quite solid. Because their interests are the same! The situation is also very similar, so the two can echo each other inside and outside, and fascinate the elderly Tang Xuanzong with their unique Hu Xuan dance.

The Book of the New Tang Dynasty records that Yang Guifei has "graceful personality", but what about An Lushan? Do you always dress up as a pig and eat a tiger, appear as a semi-final of the league, and naively follow the footsteps of Tang Xuanzong? If it is a role like Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping and Queen Wei, will it be tolerated?

In the first half of his life, Xuanzong always put his head on his belt to fight against such people. In his later years, he slacked off and still struggled with civil and military ministers, such as Wang Zhongzhong, our governor Hexi and others. At this point, do you want to promote a person, set an example, and curb some of those people by the way?

So Hu Xuanwu quickly turned into a hurricane. In the middle Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen, who experienced the Anshi Rebellion, once profoundly pointed out that "Hu, Mo Kongwu, sang this song several times to explain the Lord" when commenting on Hu Xuanwu, a scholar.

The poet believes that the popularity of Hu Xuanwu is a sign that "Tianbao season will change at any time", because it can only "mini-eyes" and "confuse your heart", which has caused great disasters in the Tang Dynasty. "From the earth axis to the sky, it will not stop for 50 years."

Yuan Zhen also wrote a poem "Hu Xuan Nv": "If Tianbao wants chaos to end, the Hu people can offer women to confuse the Ming king, so that the demon Hu will not be fascinated, and Lu Shan will have a mini-eye and cross the Yellow River without doubt. Hu Xuangui will confuse your heart and abandon Ma Wei more deeply. "

It has even been suggested that Yang Guifei's affair is full of warmth and lust, which may be a plot of the Li family, similar to that of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who is now making love to the king of Wu. Its purpose is to make the central politics of the Tang Dynasty fester and add another fire to the salary pile. This view, the author will consult the information and write an article about it.

A cloud appeared between the light of heaven and me! Old Tang Xuanzong was dazzled by such Hu Xuan dance, but he didn't know that people who could dance Hu Xuan were also proficient in circle dance.
