Then, how did a Shanxi woman who was vigorous in history and was able to change dynasties climb up to the kinship with Jingzhou people?
First, the fate of Wu Meiniang and Jingzhou.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 632), the viceroy was abolished and the whole country was merged. Lizhou (now Lizhou District, Guangyuan City), where Wu Zetian's father samurai was an official, was also removed. Samurai was born in Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty for six years and died in Zhenguan for nine years. He was one of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, ranked as a second-class hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou, and one of the most trusted ministers of Emperor Li Yuan of Wude. When the state capital was abolished, the imperial court transferred the samurai to Jingzhou, one of the four viceroy capitals in the Tang Dynasty, as the viceroy. The Wu family moved to Jingzhou, and Wu Zetian just turned 7 this year.
One side of the soil and water, feed one side. Jingzhou is rich in products and is a famous land of fish and rice in Jianghan Plain. From Lizhou to Jingzhou, the chaff basket fell into the rice jar and the poor nest moved to the rich nest, and the living conditions were much better. As the saying goes, a woman turns eighteen and becomes like a fairy. The food in Jingzhou has made Wu Zetian's natural beauty, such as hibiscus, and her life is really smooth and comfortable, which is an unforgettable place in her life. I just know, there are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed. Because the samurai has been suffering from asthma for a long time, his health is getting worse and worse. In 635 AD, the news of the death of Emperor Yuan of the Tang Dynasty came from Chang 'an, the capital of China. The bad news made the loyal samurai hesitate, so sad that his condition deteriorated and he finally died.
The military commander Mu Xunhui was sent to Chang 'an, but because of his half-brother, Wu Zetian and his mother Yang failed to return to their ancestral home in Wenshui, Shanxi, and stayed in Jingzhou. Since then, Wu Zetian, who is 13 years old, has been bullied and * * * by her five brothers respectively.
Among them, Wu and Wu are half-brothers, while Wu Huaiyun and Wu are uncle's sons. To say that this feeling is thicker than water. These five big brothers are all over 14 years old and have formed their own inherent personality patterns. To put it bluntly, men and women are in a state of confusion and curiosity. So, have you ever had any special "care" for your little sister who is in bud and beautiful since she was a child?
How do they "take care" of their little sister Wu Meiniang? How did you do something disrespectful to Wu Meiniang's mother? The literature and history materials preserved are not detailed, perhaps because after Mei Niang became the only queen in China, the literati dared not scribble. However, judging from Wu Meiniang's crazy attack on his five brothers, his hatred until his quick death, that kind of revenge is serious, which is recorded in detail in the history books.
First, Wu was exiled to Longzhou (now a county under the jurisdiction of Chongzuo City, Guangxi) in a remote mountainous area, but in fact he died of fear and anxiety. Later, Wu exiled him to (now the northwest of Sanya), which was considered as the end of the world. He was also scared to death by the power of Wu Zetian. The deaths of Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun were related to Mrs. Wei's poisoning. Wei's wife Helan, his father Helan Yueshi, and his mother's Korean wife Wu Shun (whose wife is Wu Zetian's sister) are Wu Zetian's nieces. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, who lost her morality, doted on her mother and daughter.
Mrs. Han was ill and her daughter was named Mrs. Wei. Afraid of falling out of favor in the future, Wu Zetian poisoned the meat sauce, killed her niece and framed her half-brothers Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun. Before she died, she was given the surname Fu, which means her heart is like a poisonous snake. Although Wu Huailiang died young, he still died. He brought Wu Huailiang's wife Shan Shi into the palace as a slave and beat her widow with thorns every day. The back of the rock is all rotten, revealing the bones. Shanshi died miserably in the great pain of being raped and plundered. This is born from the same root, but the same flesh and blood eat each other. It is conceivable that the enmity is so deep. The battle for imperial power has always been blood shed, not a dynasty, but the enmity between Wu Zetian and her five brothers is not a battle for the throne.
So, how did Wu Zetian get out of Jingzhou?
Second, a generation of Tianjiao came from Jingzhou.
It is said that the second year after Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, Li Shimin's eldest grandson died. Empress Wende is Shi (60115-July 28, 636), a fine-print Guanyin maid, the daughter of the right general of the Sui Dynasty, and the Han nationality. Her mother is the queen of Emperor Taizong and the sister of Wuji, the prime minister of Emperor Taizong. Shi Yu 13 years old and getting married. In the last few years of martial arts, she tried her best to win Li Shimin's support from Tang Gaozu's harem. On the day of the Xuanwumen Rebellion, she personally encouraged the soldiers. After Li Shimin acceded to the throne, she was made queen. When he was in the latter position, he was good at using ancient stories to describe the present, correcting Li Shimin's mistakes in governance and protecting loyal and effective ministers. Li Shimin gave birth to three sons and four daughters, namely Li Chenggan, King Hengshan, Lee Tae, King Pugong, Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong, Princess Li Lizhi, Princess Chengyang, Princess Li Mingda, Princess jinyang princess and Princess Xincheng. In June of the tenth year of Zhenguan (636), Shi died in Tang and was buried in Tang Zhaoling, the Empress of Wende. In the fifth year of Xianheng (674), posthumous title was the Saint Queen of Wende. In the eighth year of Tianbao (749), she was honored as the Saint Queen of Wendeshun. Li Shimin praised it as "a good couple" and "a good assistant" and built a memorial to watch the mausoleum. So it is a pivotal figure in my heart.
After Shi's death, the harem was empty and the queen was empty.
One day, Emperor Taizong suddenly remembered to recruit the warrior Ai Chen. When he learned that Wu had a second daughter, she had become a big girl who was ashamed of flowers and closed the moon, and became cute and charming, and she was sent to the palace. This year is the eleventh year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. In 637, Wu Zetian was fourteen years old.
It is said that Wu Zetian entered the palace from a path outside the south gate of Jingzhou. So far, people call this road "Yu He Road". When the Yangtze River was next to the ancient city of Jingzhou, Wu Zetian left by boat from the river. Now, the names of "Yu He Road" and "Yu He Village" still remain here. Among these place names, there is a word "Yu" (Yu: the ancient name for what emperors did and used). In addition, the place names related to Wu Zetian include Jiaojinzhou Area, Shaojiwa, Tienv Temple and Taipingkou. The metaphor of "Ruojiwa" tells that Wu Zetian and Ruojiwa went to the river to wash rice and vegetables, and accidentally fell into the river and almost drowned. It was Ruojiwa in her hand that saved her. Later, when Wu Zetian became emperor, she named this place "Shaojiwa". Behind every legend, there is an extraordinary story.
After Wu Zetian entered the palace, she was just a talent in Li Shimin's harem, that is, a concubine. At this time, she is Li Zhi's common mother (stepmother) in birthright.
