杨贵妃是中国古代四大美女之一，但和其他三位美女相比，她的命运是最不幸的。

杨贵妃本名杨玉环，她是一个乡村贵族的女儿。在她十六岁的时候，父亲把她嫁入皇宫，成了同岁的十八王子的妃子。

入宫以后，她的美貌为唐玄宗所知，玄宗很想见见她，于是就来到了自己儿子的宫殿。玄宗一见到她就爱上了她，于是把她接到自己的皇宫里。那时，唐玄宗56岁，杨玉环22岁。

杨贵妃的性格

杨贵妃不仅美丽，而且非常聪明，她学东西很快，尤其在音乐和舞蹈方面很有天赋，她的音乐声常常将唐玄宗带进想入非非的白日梦状态。

有一天，玄宗杨看到了美丽的白莲花，并说：“莲花是美丽却没有灵魂，它不能与我的美人相媲美。我的爱妾是世界上最动人的花。”

几年后，杨玉环宠冠后宫，地位高升。被晋封为皇后，史称杨贵妃。

杨贵妃的微笑足以蛊惑皇上并使皇帝着迷。玄宗爱她甚于爱天下，他甚至为她修建了天然温泉池，她可以在春天恣意洗浴。

最受宠贵妃的权力

杨玉环，一个普通小村庄的普通村女，成为高高在上的杨贵妃，日积月累，她的家庭成员也获得了朝廷的高位，最终掌握了唐王朝的统治大权。杨贵妃的大哥杨国忠成为当朝宰相，但是他极其腐败堕落。

几年后，宰相杨国忠掌管了大唐的国土，人民身受其贪腐的祸害，生活非常贫穷和潦倒。安禄山是非汉人的唐朝廷节度使负责镇守范阳。在都城长安发现杨国忠的劣迹并想呈报给皇上但没能实现。 于是因得罪杨国忠而与杨国忠敌对不和，杨国忠得知后誓言灭掉他。

叛乱（安史之乱）

杨国忠出兵洗劫了安禄山的家，并杀害了其朋友，这激怒了安禄山，于是决定起兵报复，并心存图谋不轨。

安禄山带领170，000士兵，以讨伐杨国忠为名向都城长安进发，安禄山的军队势不可挡，他们渡过黄河.....
