What is the relationship between Yang and Yang Guifei? What was Yang like in his early years?

Yang and Yang Guifei are siblings, but their relationship is relatively distant. In his early years, Yang was just an idle and misbehaving street hooligan who only ate, drank and had fun.

After being despised by the clan, he tried to join the army. Yang was down and out in his early years because he was notoriously illiterate, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He hates this family very much. When he was 30, he worked hard and decided to join the army. However, because no one in the DPRK paid attention to it, he was later recommended to enter the palace by nepotism. With the help of Yang Guifei and Yang's sisters, he went to court.

Yang interfered in state affairs by virtue of his blood relationship with Yang Guifei, and Yang attached to Yang Guifei's blood relationship and quickly rose to the top. With this, he expanded his personal relationship in the court and gained the trust and reuse of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Yang Guifei was the recommender of cousin Yang appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and was the primary factor for Yang's former dynasty to gain honor and favor. At the same time, they helped each other to consolidate their position in the eyes of Tang Xuanzong, so that they could all win the love of Tang Xuanzong.

They were all deeply loved by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Guifei quickly rose to the top after being favored, which also benefited from this relationship, which made Emperor Xuanzong love me, love my dog and let Yang be reused. Her younger brother, Yang, has also been promoted to prime minister, and he has attracted much attention in more than 40 jobs. Because of this, the contradiction between Yang and Anshi Rebellion gradually accumulated and broke out, which led to Anshi Rebellion, and both Yang and his cousin Yang Guifei were executed, and a generation of concubines were favored.

In the end, although the relationship between Yang and Yang is not as close as people think, they are also connected by blood. Yang's peak in life is not only because of Yang Guifei, but also because of Yang's own good ability.
