1. Beauties in the Brocade Corridor are Good at Seducing Souls
Gao Lishi heard Xuanzong said that he wanted to build a bath, so he said: "Hot springs are the best for bathing. The late emperor often took a bath in the hot springs of Lishan. Cover the hot springs, and you can take a bath no matter in winter or summer." Xuanzong listened to Gao Lishi's words and said it was wonderful, so it took two years to build an exquisite and magnificent official.On the day of completion, Xuanzong was lucky.

Looking from a distance, at the foot of Lishan Mountain, the mountain is surrounded by trees, and there is a white stone road in the forest. At the end of the road, deep in the trees, there is an exquisite palace hidden.The palace is built against the mountain, and the pavilions are undulating, half visible and half hidden.As soon as you enter the palace, the house is magnificent, with painted corners and flying curtains. What's more, when people walk in the palace, the terrain gradually rises, but there is no class on the ground. Walking is effortless, and you have already reached the mountainside without knowing it.There is a flying bridge in front of you, which is five or sixty feet long and seven to eight feet wide. There are carved windows on both sides. When you push the window, you can see the green fields in the distance, scattered in front of the curtain, and the strange peaks and emerald barriers nearby. , rushed to the foot; under the bridge, it was full of purple and red.A stream of clear spring, turning and galloping, flows out from the forest, passes over the bridge, and flows into the palace wall.The hot air on the surface of the water is dense, and this is the famous Lishan Hot Spring in later generations.I saw a pool in front of me, with flying pillars and carved beams on it, covered by a layer of bright tiles, it was very spacious.There are two pools in the east and west, the east pool is called Longquan, and the west pool is called Fengchi.

The dragon spring is carved into a big dragon, coiled on the surface of the pool, the beams and pillars are full of the dragon's body, the dragon's head is bowed on the west corner of the pool, with its mouth wide open, a stream of spring water gushes out from the mouth of the dragon; Carved into a series of five-color clouds, as beams and pillars, a colorful phoenix floats on the east corner of the pool, spreading its wings, playing in the water, and the hot spring flows out from under the wings of the colorful phoenix. , no trace of running water can be seen.It is very ingenious.At this time, green lotus leaves and red lotus flowers were floating on the water; the lotus leaves were carved from emerald jade, as big as a tabletop, and the lotus flowers were carved from red jade, as big as a futon, floating on the water, vividly.There is also a white jade horse in the Longquan for the emperor to ride in the bath; the colorful wind in the Fengchi pool is for the emperor to ride in the bath.The cutest thing is that the bottom and bank of the pool are all made of green bricks of the same color, which makes the water turn emerald green.Longxuyao grass is planted along the edge of the pool, surrounded by white stone railings.The corridor outside the fence is very wide, and there are brocade chairs and embroidered couches, ready to sit up and down at will when getting out of the bath.The two pools of dragon and phoenix have a wide water surface and a radius of ten feet. In addition, there are more than forty long bath baths separated by more than forty rooms, which are built with aragonite around them, and are the bathing places for concubines.On the side entering the water, a silver carved lacquer boat or a white fragrant wooden boat is built; agarwood is piled up in the water to form a mountain, imitating the appearance of the abbot of Yingzhou, and it is a place for the concubines to rest in the water.The most ingenious thing is that each pool is equipped with a general enclosure, and as long as the enclosure is moved, the water in the pool will immediately recede, and the green bricks at the bottom of the pool will all be revealed.Xuanzong was delighted to see it, and named the palace Huaqing Official, and the bathing pool was named Huaqing Pool.

Walking around from Huaqing Pool, we entered the back garden, but saw that the brocade corridors were all carved beams and bricks, and the green windows were brocade. Being covered, getting far away from each other, and following each other back and forth, it really feels like the world is so close.

Xuanzong laughed and said: "Emperor Yang of Sui has a lost tower, and I have a lost corridor!" The story of the romantic emperor and Yang Yuhuan began in the brocade corridor. He picked a sunny day and issued an edict Order the concubines of the six palaces, princesses, concubines, and wives inside and outside to enter Huaqing Pool for a test bath.

So all the wives and princesses came to take a bath, all dressed up in pink, red and bright pearls, surrounded by emerald greens.And the romantic emperor Xuanzong happened to catch a glimpse of a delicate and plump woman in the bath, across the corridor, he saw her reclining under the flower window in the fragrant bath, enjoying the comfort of the warm water.Seeing the woman with her back on her back, her cloud bun partly tilted, her fragrant shoulders slanted, lining her slender waist, she is already touching; when she turned around, that half of her cheek was covered by a beautiful flower Rong Hua'er covered it up, revealing half of the flour dimples, and you can't tell if the flowers are full of people's faces, it's really beautiful and heavenly.Although Xuanzong had three palaces and six courtyards to enjoy all day long, there were petite ones, plump ones, heavy makeup and light makeup, but he never had such stunning beauties.Unknowingly, Xuanzong's soul was caught, and he couldn't help walking towards the beauty. He saw that he was close at hand, but he was separated by a railing, which was beyond reach.

This beauty was also cunning, and when she saw Xuanzong coming, she lowered her head in feigned shyness, turned around, and walked towards the east end of the corridor like a frightened bird.Xuanzong wanted to go up and wave to him, but then he realized that this beauty must be the concubine of some prince, so don't be presumptuous.He was so cruel that he wanted to drop his hands and walk away, but he saw that beautiful woman deliberately walking slowly in front of her. Seeing her graceful waist and lingbo micro-steps, it was like a light cloud coming out of the hills.Xuanzong couldn't bear to be seduced again, so he walked at her pace across the corridor. Gao Lishi followed Xuanzong silently, walking step by step along the corridor, turning round and round, until the beauty turned her head to cover Xuanzong. With a smile on his sleeve, he turned away.Sure enough, Emperor Xuanzong was so anxious that he kept complaining that the craftsmen who built the brocade corridor were too good at teasing people.

But Xuanzong went out of the corridor, walked up the flying bridge, and saw the beauty just now, haunting the flowers and trees under the bridge.Xuanzong pointed to Gao Lishi on the bridge and said: "Look at her lovely appearance, it is really a poem and a painting. I don't know whose wife it is. Someday I will call her to me and let me see her." A full one!" Gao Lishi couldn't help it when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about it? Your Majesty's own daughter-in-law must be satiated by His Majesty!"

Xuanzong was startled, and asked who the concubine was. Gao Lishi said it was Yang's Yuhuan, concubine of Shouwang.When Xuanzong heard that it was his daughter-in-law, he felt ashamed and hurriedly chose words to cover it up.Gao Lishi asked again: "Do you want to call Yang to come and see?" Xuanzong waved his hands quickly, then walked down the bridge, and walked silently on the corridor with his head bowed. After a long while, he sighed unconsciously and talked to himself. Said: "Mao'er, what a blessing!"

That night, Concubine Mei felt that Xuanzong had always loved him in every possible way, so she supported her sick body and welcomed her in every possible way.But Xuanzong has changed a lot, no matter what he says or smiles, he is always in a daze, out of his mind, with ulterior motives in his heart, once Mei Concubine acted coquettishly and flirtatiously, Xuanzong always perfunctory.

2. A woman who is spoiled by chickens and dogs ascends to heaven

Gao Lishi is worthy of Xuanzong's doubly favor and trust. After all, he took the pulse of Xuanzong who was depressed and unrequited love, and came up with a clever plan for Xuanzong who was 60 years old but suffering from lovesickness, so as to cure the disease.Soon after, Concubine Yang Yuhuan, Princess of Shou, received an imperial decree ordering her to become a nun in Wanshou nunnery, in the name of praying for the unjustly deceased empress dowager, and giving her the name Taizhen.

The concubine Yang Yuhuan, the concubine of longevity, burst into tears as soon as she received the decree, so she had to abandon the love and lingering love of her husband and wife, and took two personal maids, Yongxin and Niannu, to become a monk according to the decree.After Longevity Princess Yang Yuhuan entered the Wanshou Nunnery, the old aunt neither asked her to be a vegetarian and recite scriptures, nor did she bother her to clean the Buddhist hall, and the three master and maidservants felt at ease.

Here, King Shou also cried into tears, but he had no choice but to watch his beloved wife become a nun and never be reunited.A few days later, the imperial decree came down again, choosing Wei Zhaoxun's daughter Wei Shi as his concubine for King Shou, and the emperor specially bestowed ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand pieces of colorful satin as a gift for the new princess.King Shou had no choice but to enter the palace with tears in his eyes and kowtow to thank his father, in front of the extreme pain of lovesickness in his heart.

Xuanzong finally made it to the spring of the second year. Gao Lishi quietly called Yang Yuhuan into the Huaqing Palace, and at the same time brainwashed her. That's right, I have a peerless appearance, and I can't let it down. If I win a noble concubine, I can let my humble background glorify my ancestors, and it's rare for the emperor to be so affectionate.

Yang Yuhuan followed Gao Lishi to the West Pavilion of Huaqing Palace. Now that the beauty was close at hand, Xuanzong was finally able to see his fill. The flowers were delicate and beautiful, which fascinated him, and he was given a bath and a feast.After a while, Yang Yuhuan came out of the bath, wearing only a silver-red shirt, and elegantly dressed, feeling more radiant, clean and lovely.Xuanzong went up, held her hand, put it on his palm, and played with it carefully.Soft, slender, white and tender, as if carved from white jade, I can't help but admire it.After entering the table, Xuanzong couldn't help but hug Yang Yuhuan into his arms when the cup was passed around, and the wine became even more delicious.When Xuanzong was half drunk, he picked up a pen and wrote: "Duan crowns the sky, hangs clothes to the south; the mountains and rivers dominate the Tang Dynasty, the rain and dew rejuvenate the spring, and the grass and trees in the deep palace are full of fragrance. Shengping plays early, the youth is good, why not have fun? May this Life is old and gentle, Baiyun does not envy the fairyland."

The music was loud, the moon was bright and the night was quiet, Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan walked into the bedroom.A night of love, and a short spring night, Xuanzong didn't get up until near noon the next day, and he didn't go to court, but sat by the dressing table, smiling and watching Yang Yuhuan make up.It was not until the evening that he spared his energy to take care of the important affairs of the state. The first and only result of his busy affairs with the state affairs was to pass down the imperial decree, canonize Yang Taizhen as a noble concubine, worship Gao Lishi as a general of hussars, and posthumously present Yang Guifei Father Yang Xuanyan was Taiwei Qi Guogong, and Yang Guifei's uncle Yang Xuangui was Guangluqing, his brother Yang Yu was Hongluqing, Yang Qi was serving Yushi, Yang Zhao was Sikong, and Xuanzong also recruited the handsome Yang Qi as Princess Taihua Prince Consort.

From then on, the Yang family became a distinguished family and became more and more powerful.And Gao Lishi, who has become a daughter-in-law and father-in-law, has done more than heaven to mess around, and has since gained great power.After he was worshiped as Hussar General, princesses and princes all called Gao Lishi brother, and princes and ministers all called Gao Lishi old man.Even Emperor Xuanzong only called him general, not his first name.
