When we talk about the history of the Tang Dynasty, we must not avoid Tang Xuanzong, who created the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty;When it comes to Tang Xuanzong, you must not avoid Yang Guifei, who is known as one of the four beauties of ancient times. Yang Yuhuai is both talented and beautiful, and is loved by Tang Xuanzong, and even in order to satisfy her appetite, Tang Xuanzong did not hesitate to let people run thousands of miles, just to let Yang Yuhuan eat fresh lychees. But many people will have questions, since Tang Xuanzong loves Yang Yuhuan so much, why didn't he make her the queen?Today, I will take you to take a multi-angle ** on this issue.
One of the reasons is due to the unshakable feudal system of etiquette. In feudal society, the marriage of famous nobles and even ordinary people is not something that they can decide casually, they must meet the orders of their parents, the words of the matchmaker and the requirements of the right family, so ordinary people are still like this, and the marriage of the emperor as the king of a country naturally needs to pay more attention to these rules and regulations. Although the emperor can have many concubines in his life, the queen, as the main family, needs to be born in a famous family, and cannot be abolished at will. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji married Wang as a concubine when he was still the king of Linzi, and then when he crusaded against Empress Wei, Wang also tried his best to assist Li Longji and contributed to his successful accession to the throne. Later, although the Wang family was deposed because of the lack of heirs, Tang Xuanzong could not canonize Yang Yuhuan as the queen based on personal preferences alone.
The second reason is also because the acquaintance of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan is controversial to a certain extent. Yang Yuhuan was married to Li Xuanzong, the eighteenth son of Tang Xuanzong, as a concubine at the beginning, but later, because Yang Yuhuan's talent and appearance were very outstanding, Tang Xuanzong now sent Yang Yuhuan to be a female Taoist priest, and later entered the palace as a concubine. This process of acquaintance is controversial both from today and from the perspective of Tang Dynasty society. And after Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, she was promoted from an ordinary palace maid to a concubine in just a few years, and this status has been promoted very rapidly, in this case, if Xuanzong wants to canonize her as the queen again, I believe that the officials in the court and the concubines in the harem will not agree.
Moreover, a person who can become a queen must not only have outstanding talent, but also have "virtue", but according to historical records, Yang Yuhuan is proud and domineering in the harem, and his popularity is not good, so it is difficult to become the mother of a country.
All in all, whether it is from the personal perspective of Yang Yuhuan and Tang Xuanzong, or from the historical and cultural background at that time, no matter how much Tang Xuanzong loves Yang Yuhuan, there is no way to canonize her as the queen.
