      Yang Guifei, a beautiful concubine of the emperor was hanged by her Emperor Xuanzong.  Emperor Xuanzong used to give his concubine everything she wanted. Including  sending her, her favorite nuts which were brought from 1,000 miles away.  Yang abused her powers over the emperor by getting her friends and  relatives in high government places. She even got her cousin Yang Guozhong  to become chief minister. "I think Yang Guozhong is unfit to be  chief minister," a local merchant says. "I know that Yang  Guifei is planning something," a passing women says. Later on Yang  Guifei fell in love with fat, powerful soldier, An Lushan. An Lushan  started taking over most of the cities in China which got Yang Guozhong  very jealous. When An Lushan began taking over Chang'an, Emperor Xuanzong knew  they were in trouble and fled the city taking with him Yang Guifei and Yang Guozhong. He found  that the road was blocked by Tibetian soldiers and then all of a sudden  Emperor Xuanzong's soldiers turned against them. They blamed everything on Yang  Guifei and Yang Guozhong. They then shot Yang Guozhong right on the  spot then they forced the crying emperor to order the killing of Yang  Guifei and she was strangled by a silk cord in a village called Pagoda.
