Why do historians say that Yang Guifei is really ugly? How did she die?

Yang Guifei, whose real name is Yuhuan, lost her father at an early age and was fostered in her uncle's house. When she grows up, she has a charming appearance.

When Yang Yuhuan/Kloc-was 0/5 years old, she fell in love with Li Mao, the then longevity king, at the princess's wedding banquet. Soon, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty presided over their wedding, and Yang Yuhuan became a long-lived princess.

After marriage, they lived a happy life, but this life did not last long. Five years later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty thought that his mother was blessed and named Yang Yuhuan a monk, with the name "too true".

When people gradually forgot about Yang Yuhuan, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty secretly took her into the palace and made her an imperial concubine. Since then, due to the vacancy, Yang Yuhuan has become an imperial concubine and is favored by the Sixth Palace.

There are many anecdotes about Yang Yuhuan. For example, Yang Yuhuan loves litchi, but the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient. In order to let her eat fresh litchi, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent litchi by fast horse through the post station, and sent litchi from the south to Huaqing Palace around the clock. Yang Yuhuan once stole a purple Yu Di. When Tang Xuanzong knew about it, he drove her home. Yang Yuhuan gave her green silk as a gift, which made Tang Xuanzong very scared and took her back immediately.

The most famous story is that the imperial concubine was drunk. It tells the story that Yang Yuhuan was drunk after being snubbed by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and the beautiful and infatuated emperor enjoyed it.

However, the good times did not last long. The development of history doomed them not to have a satisfactory result. At that time, the politics of the Tang Dynasty was not stable. An Lushan pretended to be stupid and dull, and succeeded in deceiving Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. In the process of pleasing Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei, he gained a lot of benefits.

An Lushan once went to Beijing to celebrate Yang Guifei's birthday. After the celebration, Emperor Xuanzong returned to the wild. Soon after An Lushan returned to China, he invaded Beijing on a large scale. In a panic, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei fled to Maweipo, where Yang Guifei ended her legendary life.

Regarding the cause of death of Yang Guifei, the most common statement is that she hanged herself, which is mainly influenced by historical books handed down from ancient times.

But this statement can only be found in Liu Yuxi's poems, which is not reliable. What's more, he didn't die at all, but the maid died for her. Some people say that she lived among the people, and some people say that she later fled to Japan and has been in the "hometown of Yang Guifei" in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.

However, through the research of historians, it is found that the real cause of death of Yang Guifei was killed by the disorderly army, not hanged herself. In some Tang poems, the modifier "blood" is used to describe Ma Yipo. If you really hanged yourself, you should not see blood.

When Yang Guifei was alive, she was a favorite of the Sixth Palace, and the family gained power because of her. However, the tragic death of the beauty of the ages is a sigh.
