<< review queue entry 68764 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I'm having trouble verifying "blamed for extravagance". The sources I've read are like this: a) "Because of her [Yang Guifei], the emperor is said to have neglected his duties, and the Tang dynasty (618–907) was greatly weakened by a rebellion that ensued. [...] With such powerful patronage, An Lushan came to control an army of 200,000. He was jealous of the power of Yang Guozhong and soon turned against the emperor, leading a great uprising (the An Lushan rebellion) against him. When the capital was captured in 756, Xuanzong and his court were forced to flee to the south. On the road the imperial soldiers became enraged with members of the Yang family, whom they blamed for the debacle, and executed both Yang and her cousin. " [E. Britannica] b) "The court was forced to flee to Sichuan. Along the way, loyal soldiers blamed Yang Guifei for the country's difficulties and forced the emperor to have her strangled." [A Brief History of Chinese and Japanese Civilizations"] So it would be more to the point to say she was executed because she was blamed for the dire situation (even if it was caused by extravagance). Anyway, let's leave the details to Wikipedia et al. |
