1. Wu Zetian forbids slaughter in classical Chinese

After Wu Zetian killed the Li family to a certain extent, he remembered the saying "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately", so Emperor Wu issued an edict : A nationwide ban on slaughter. In fact, what Wu Zetian prohibited was slaughter, not the slaughter of people. When she was angry, she would even kill her own children, let alone cattle and sheep. Presumably this ban on massacre is just a national level show.

Once, the censor Lou Shide envoy came to Shaanxi, and the local official probably changed the method of making "four dishes and one soup". The chef served a hand-made meat and explained that the sheep was bitten to death by jackals. Yes, my lord, you borrowed them all. Lou Shide exclaimed, "Jackals are so sensible." Then the chef served another dish of steamed fish, still saying that it was bitten to death by jackals. Lou Shide immediately lowered his face and scolded the chef: "Short-witted man. Why not say he was bitten by an otter?" In fact, Lou Shide's tolerance is very famous in history, and the idiom "you will do what you spit on" comes from his instruction to his younger brother. Even such officials were bold enough to eat meat, which shows how unreliable the ban on slaughter was at that time. It is said that this matter later reached Wu Zetian's ears, and she just laughed it off. If it is Lou Shide's good deed to have both the sheep and the fish, then Wu Zetian's openness to Zhang De and Liu Mian is really shocking.

When Zhang De's wife gave birth to a boy, he slaughtered a sheep privately and drank the full-moon wine. It was no wonder that Zhang De was so kind-hearted that he even called Du Su from Buque to drink. Unexpectedly, Du Su secretly took a piece of meat to Wu Zetian and reported it. The next day, Wu Zetian called Zhang De and said: "I prohibit slaughter, and this does not apply to weddings and funerals. From now on, when you entertain guests, you must also choose people." She also showed Du Su's letter of report to Zhang De, and made Du Su miserable. He is not a human being inside or outside. Another incident was the cowardly incident of the imperial censor Peng Xianjue. At that time, he was responsible for detecting lawbreakers in the capital. One day, a hay cart overturned at Dingding Gate, revealing two white-striped sheep. Tu didn't realize it," and deserved to be punished with a "beating stick." Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian stretched out a hand from halfway: the punishment of the stick was waived, and "the meat was begged to be eaten, but it was eaten." What a treat. 2. What interesting stories about Wu Zetian’s “forbidden slaughter”

Among ancient Chinese emperors, many were closely related to Buddhism, and Queen Wu Zetian was one of them. Wu Zetian's purpose in advocating Buddhism was to use Buddhism as an ideological weapon to ascend to the top of power. As soon as she became emperor, she announced that "Buddhism has reached the level of revolution and has risen above Taoism." In addition to allocating special funds to overhaul temples, build large-scale Buddhist statues, and translate Buddhist scriptures in large quantities, administrative means have also been used many times to set off an upsurge in worshiping Buddhism among the people. During the compulsory national Buddhist worship movement, there was an order prohibiting the killing of livestock and fishing and shrimp, which caused many interesting stories.

Abandoning life is one of the five precepts of Buddhism and the basic code of conduct for Buddhist disciples. But banning ordinary people from eating meat will undoubtedly be very difficult to implement. In order to check the implementation effect of the ban on slaughter, Wu Zetian ordered Prime Minister Lou Shide to inspect the grassroots. When the prime minister inspects the work, the grassroots officials will naturally hold a banquet to receive him. At the banquet, the first thing served was a pot of mutton. The grassroots official explained: This sheep was not killed by us, but killed by a wolf. Since it was bitten to death by a wolf, eating it is certainly not a violation of the law. Next came a plate of fish. The lower-level officials further stated: This fish was also killed by a wolf. When Lou Shide heard this, he laughed: Why are you so stupid? It should be said that this fish was killed by an otter. Amidst the laughter, the delicious food quickly became the food in our stomachs.

Since "there are policies from above and countermeasures from below," the implementation of Wu Zetian's slaughter ban at the grassroots level is not expected to be ideal. In fact, any political decree from ancient to modern times, if it is unpopular, will inevitably end in haste. Later, Wu Zetian probably felt that this ban was a bit excessive, so she was very tolerant to the parties involved when handling prohibited cases.

Zuo Shiyi Zhang De’s wife gave birth to a boy, so she secretly killed a sheep to entertain the guests. Among them was a man named Du Su. After eating a meal of mutton, he actually wrote a pleading to the emperor to report Zhang De.

When going to court the next day, Wu Zetian said to Zhang De: "Your wife has given birth to a boy. I am so happy and congratulated." Zhang De thanked Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian asked again: "But where did you get the mutton?" Zhang De quickly kowtowed and said he was guilty of death. Wu Zetian said: "I prohibit the slaughter of livestock. It is difficult to predict whether it will be good or bad. But when you invite guests, you should also be selective in your interactions. Rogue people cannot gather together." Then she showed him Du Su's petition. Du Su betrayed his friend to seek success but was ridiculed instead. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Wu Zetian obviously believed that Du Su's betrayal of his friends was a big deal, while Zhang De's violation of the ban on slaughter was a minor matter. It can be seen that even Wu Zetian herself later did not take the slaughter ban seriously.

There is another interesting story. One day, a hay cart overturned outside Dingding Gate in Luoyang, and the two killed sheep hidden in the hay cart were immediately exposed. This is undoubtedly a violation of the slaughter ban. The gatekeeper who witnessed the incident immediately reported the clues to the censor Peng Xianjue. Peng Xianjue may have arrived a step late and failed to catch the person pulling the hay cart, so he wanted to shift the responsibility to others. He wrote to the emperor and said: "Hegongwei Liu Mian specializes in the management of slaughtering. He did not notice this. He should be punished with a meal of sticks, and the mutton can be given to the officials of Shangshu Province." Liu Mian listened. After saying that, I was very scared, so I quickly made a pair of thickened pants and waited for the ejaculation. Unexpectedly, the next day Wu Zetian commented on Peng Xianjue's memorial: "Censor Peng Xianjue's suggestion to ask Liu Mian to be beaten with a stick is inappropriate.

The mutton should be given to Liu Mian. "When the news spread, all the officials in the dynasty clapped their hands and applauded, except Peng Xianjue who was ashamed. 3. Seeking Wu Zetian's articles, classical Chinese

At first, Xiao Liangdi was favored, but at the end of Zhenguan, a martial artist, she was summoned by people from the late emperor's palace. Zhaoyi, the queen, and Liangdi competed for favor, and even ruined each other.

However, Zhaoyi was treacherous, falsely accusing the queen and his mother of using Mei Dao Gu, and the emperor believed it, and deprived the queen of Wei. Uncle Liu Xizhong wrote the order. Li Yifu and others supported Zhaoyi and angered the emperor, so he issued an edict to depose the queen and Liangdi were all common people and imprisoned in the palace.

The stepmother and brother Liangdi clan were imprisoned. Xiliu Lingnan. Xu Jingzong also reported: "Renyou has no other merits. He used the palace to serve as a slave, and exceeded the three things listed above. Now the common people are plotting to cause chaos in the clan, and the crime is Yi Zong. Renyou should cut off the coffin, and your Majesty will not stop punishing him." When the family is in disarray, it is not appropriate for benevolence to lead to the protection of the descendants.

"There was an edict to seize all the officials and titles from Renyou. Later, Liangdi'er and Liangdi were killed by Empress Wu, and their surnames were changed to "Mang" and Liangdi to "Xiao".

At the beginning, After the emperor thought about it, he walked to the prison and saw that the door was tightly closed. He entered the dining room and felt sorry for her. He called out: "Queen, Liangdi is okay?" Where are you today? "The two of them said the same words: "I have abandoned you as a maid because of my sins, how can I be honored as such? "Crying and sobbing. He also said: "Your Majesty is glad to remember the past day and make my concubine come back to life and see the sun and the moon again. I beg to sign this as 'Returning to the Heart'.

"The emperor said: "I will deal with it immediately. "Empress Wu knew this and ordered two men to pick off their hands and feet with the imperial staff, then put them into a wine vat, saying: "Make the two women's bones drunk!" "He died in a few days, but his corpse was special."

At the beginning, the edict arrived, and later he worshiped and said: "Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" Zhaoyi accepts the favor, and I will share it with you if you die. When Liangdi arrived, she scolded her, saying: "Wu family is so charming and so charming! This is the end of things!" My queen will be a cat, and Wu will be a mouse. I will repay him by strangling his throat.

"Later, I heard that there was an edict not to keep cats in the Sixth Palace. Empress Wu frequently saw two people being beaten to death. She was so angry that she thanked him with a witch blessing. Then she moved to Penglai Palace, where she saw Li again, so there were many Stationed in Dongdu.

After Zhongzong came to the throne, they all took their surnames. After the death of Queen Wende, Emperor Taizong heard about the beauty of Shiyun and called her to be a talented woman.

Mother Yang wept and said goodbye, saying: "I see the emperor Yongzhi." If it is not a blessing, how can children be miserable? "My mother asked me to stop crying. When I saw the emperor, I gave him the name Wu Mei.

When the emperor died, he and his concubines became bhikkhunis. When Gaozong was the prince, he served as his servant and was pleased with him.

The queen has been childless for a long time, so Concubine Xiao Shu was unhappy. The next day, when the emperor passed by the Buddhist hut, the talented people saw him and wept.

The emperor was moved by his knowledge. In the harem, he was favored by his concubines. Talented people had the power to do things, and there were endless changes.

After his resignation, he was overjoyed and praised by the emperor, so he was promoted to Zhaoyi. During the reign of Empress Xiao, there was no agreement between the queen and the queen.

The queen was simple and serious in nature and did not care about the superiors and subordinates. However, mother Liu saw that her wife was in the palace and was not frivolous, so Zhaoyi had to pay for the lack of support for the queen. If you are given a gift, you will be able to share the inheritance. Therefore, the queen and concubines will get it, and they will hear about it. However, Zhaoyi gave birth to a daughter, so she took care of it and went. Zhaoyi hid under his quilt, waiting for the emperor to arrive. Yang was talking happily, and looked at his son, who was dead.

"Zhaoyi burst into tears. The emperor couldn't see it, so he said angrily: "Later, I killed my daughter and went to slander my concubine. Now you are evil again!" "So Zhaoyi was able to enter his concubine, and he could not help himself. The emperor believed in love more and more, and he began to intend to abolish the emperor. After a long time, he wanted to be promoted to the title of "Chen Fei", and Han Yuan and Zhongshu Ling came to give advice: "I have a number of concubines, but I can't give them names now.

"Zhaoyi falsely accused the queen and her mother of being tired of winning. The emperor took advantage of his previous regrets and told the truth, so he would be deposed. Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan and Ji were on the verge of death and insisted on fighting, and the emperor hesitated. However, Li Yifu, a member of Zhongshushe, and Xu Jingzong, the Weiwei Qing, were in danger. They asked Zhaoyi to be the queen. The emperor decided to issue an edict to abolish the queen.

Li Ji and Yu Zhining were ordered to abolish the throne. With the seal and ribbon, she entered Zhaoyi as the empress, and ordered the ministers and the chiefs of the four barbarians to go to Suyimen. From then on, the empress visited the ancestral temple and presented the gift to Situ. He was given the title of Duke of Zhou and given the posthumous title of Zhongxiao. His mother Yang was granted the title of Madam of the State of Dai, and she served as a householder for thousands of households in Wei Dynasty. After Wuji and Suiliang died, they were favored and incited.

Houcheng Yu Shen was so tender and unscrupulous that he wanted to do important things. The emperor said that he could serve himself, so he got the idea. , that is, stealing power and blessings, and not shying away from giving. The emperor is also a Confucian scholar, and he can't use his power to suppress it. Zhu, the eunuch Wang Fusheng sent out his message, and the emperor was angry, because he summoned the minister of Xitai to Shangguan Yi, and he acted arbitrarily, lost sight of the sea, and could not inherit the ancestral temple. He was in line with the emperor's wishes, so he sent an imperial edict to abolish it. Later, he suddenly complained to the emperor. The emperor shrank in shame and treated him as before, still feeling jealous, and said: "This is all what Shangguan Yi taught me!" "Later, he satirized Xu Jingzong to organize the ceremony and killed him.

At the beginning, the ministers of the Yuan Dynasty were against the decree and did not read the massacre at the end of the year. . The ministers and ministers from all directions all called them "Two Saints".

Every time they came to court, the emperor and his queen were sitting together. , a lot of hidden things.

In his later years, the emperor became ill and the wind was not strong. After the affairs of the world were settled, he became more peaceful and civilized. "Chen Gui", "New Commandments of Bai Liao", "Yue Shu", etc., there are more than a thousand chapters of Da Di.

Because the bachelor's secret decision can be discussed, the power of the prime minister is divided. At the beginning, Shi Yu married Xiangli and gave birth to sons Yuanqing and Yuanshuang.

He married the Yang family again and gave birth to three daughters: his uncle married Helan Yueshi, who was a widower, and was granted the title of Mrs. Korea; Zhong was the queen; Ji married Guo Xiaoshen, and the former died. After Yang, his favor flourished and he moved to Rongguo.

In the beginning, brothers Weiliang, Huaiyun and Yuanqing met Yang and his wife with poor courtesy and no title. Later, Yuan Qing became the Shaoqing of Zongzheng, the Shaojian of the Shaofu of Yuanshuang, Shaoqing of Wei, the Weiliang Secretary, and the governor of Zizhou in Huaiyun.

The next day, my wife was drinking wine and was having a good time. She said to Wei Liang, "How about you remember what happened in the past? What do you mean now?" He said to him, "Fortunately, I am the son of a meritorious minister who is in the imperial court. In his later years, his relatives will enter the imperial court." "You are worried but not proud." The madam was angry and mocked her, pretending to give in and asking Wei Liang and others to move out without showing any selfishness to the world.

In Yao Shi, Wei Liang was the governor of Shizhou; Yuanqing was in Longzhou; Yuanshuang was in Haozhou, and Er was in charge of Zhenzhou. When I arrived in Yuanqing, I was worried about death.

In Korea, where entry and exit are prohibited, a female concubine is favored by all the emperors. The daughter of a Korean soldier was granted the title of Madam of the State of Wei. She wanted to prepare herself for the position of concubine, but it was difficult for her to come after her. The decision was not made.

The internal taboos in the queen were very serious, and Taishan was sealed. Weiliang and Huaiyun were gathered together by Yue Mu, and they returned to the capital. Later, they poisoned Wei Guo. They blamed Weiliang and others and killed them all. The family called "Viper" ", in order to worship Zimin, a scholar from South Korea. At the beginning, when the Wei State died, Min Zhi went to mourning. The emperor was in mourning, and Min Zhi cried.

Later he said: "My son doubts me!" Russia was demoted to death.

The Yang family moved to Feng and Wei. He died in the first year of Xianheng, and was granted the title of Lu. He was given the posthumous title of Zhonglie. He ordered his relatives of the ninth and fifth grades of civil and military affairs to go to mourn his wife with foreign life, and was buried in Xianyang as a king. Give me a sword, a stick, and encouragement. There was a drought in the world, so I pretended to beg for refuge, but was not allowed.

Russia also presented the scholar Xun Taiwei, the prince's grand master, and the Taiyuan County Prince, and the Lu Guo Zhonglie wife as his concubine. 4. The specific content of the crusade written by King Luo Bin during the period of Wu Zetian, it is best to be in the original text and classical Chinese

Those who pretended to be the Wu family in the imperial court [1] were not docile by nature, and the land was cold and cold [2].

In the past, when Emperor Taizong served under Chen (3), he served as a servant (4) by changing clothes. It's almost late in the festival (5), and the erotic palace is messed up (6).

Hidden the late emperor’s personal secrets (7), and secretly plotted the mistress of the emperor (8). Jealousy is seen at the beginning, and the eyebrows are not willing to let others [9]; the work of hiding one's sleeves is slander [10], and the charm can confuse the master [11].

After Jian Yuan was in Huizhai [12], he trapped my king in Juhu [13]. Adding that the heart is a lizard [14], a jackal is a wolf by nature, and it is evil and unruly [15]. It kills loyal people [16], kills sisters and brothers [17], and kills kings and poisonous mothers [18].

Humans and gods are jealous of each other, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. Still harboring evil intentions and stealing divine weapons [19].

The king’s beloved son is kept in seclusion in a separate palace [20]; the thieves’ clan alliance [21] entrusts him with important responsibilities. Alas! Huo Zimengzhi did not do anything [22], and Zhu Xuhouzhi died [23].

Yan pecked at the emperor's grandson, knowing that Han Zuo was about to be destroyed [24]; Empress Longman knew that Xia Ting was in rapid decline [25]. A dedicated old minister of the Tang Dynasty, Duke Zhongzi (26).

In honor of the success of the late emperor [27], I am grateful for the kindness of this dynasty. The joys and sorrows of Song Weizi [28] are good things [29]; the tears of Huanjun Mountain [30] are in vain! It is to use the angry wind and cloud to secure the country.

Because of the disappointment in the world, Shun Yu Nei’s support (32), Yuan raised the flag of righteousness (33), and vowed to cleanse the evildoers. It is connected to Baiyue in the south and three rivers in the north. There are groups of cavalry and jade shafts connecting each other.

The red millet in Hailing, the accumulation of storage is exhausted; the yellow flag in Jiangpu, how far can it be restored? The sound of the class sounds and the north wind rises, the sword energy rushes and the south fights for peace. Silence makes the mountains collapse, shouting makes the situation change.

If you use this to control the enemy, no enemy can be defeated; if you use this to attack the city, no city can be defeated! The public family may pass down the title of the Han Dynasty, or may be associated with Zhou relatives in the local area, or may send the copy to the minions, or may receive orders from the Propaganda Office. The words are still in your ears, how can you forget your heart if you are loyal? If a handful of soil is not dry, how can you support a six-foot-long solitude? If you can turn misfortunes into blessings and send them to your residence, I will establish the honor of King Qin and do not abolish the order of the old king. All the nobles will reward you and point to the mountains and rivers.

If he is attached to the poor city, wanders on the wrong road, and ignores the signs of opportunities, he will be punished later. Look at who owns the world in today's realm. 5. Requesting the Old Tang Book and the New Tang Book about Wu Zetian, original text + translation

Many ancient Chinese emperors were closely related to Buddhism, and Queen Wu Zetian was one of them.

Wu Zetian’s purpose of advocating Buddhism was to use Buddhism as an ideological weapon to ascend to the top of power. As soon as she became emperor, she announced that "Buddhism has reached the level of revolution and has risen above Taoism."

In addition to allocating special funds to overhaul temples, build large-scale Buddhist statues, and translate Buddhist scriptures in large quantities, administrative means have also been used many times to set off an upsurge in worshiping Buddhism among the people. During the compulsory national Buddhist worship movement, there was an order prohibiting the killing of livestock and fishing and shrimp, which caused many interesting stories.

Abandoning life is one of the five precepts of Buddhism and the basic code of conduct for Buddhist disciples. But banning ordinary people from eating meat will undoubtedly be very difficult to implement.

In order to check the implementation effect of the slaughter ban, Wu Zetian specially ordered Prime Minister Lou Shide to inspect the grassroots. When the prime minister inspects the work, the grassroots officials will naturally hold a banquet to receive him.

At the banquet, the first thing served was a pot of mutton. The grassroots official explained: This sheep was not killed by us, but killed by a wolf.

Since it was bitten to death by a wolf, eating it is certainly not a violation of the law. Next came a plate of fish.

The grassroots officials also stated: This fish was also killed by a wolf. When Lou Shide heard this, he laughed: Why are you so stupid? It should be said that this fish was killed by an otter.

Amidst the laughter, the delicious food quickly became the food in the belly. Since "there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom," the implementation of Wu Zetian's slaughter ban at the grassroots level is not expected to be ideal.

In fact, any political decree from ancient to modern times, if it is unpopular, will inevitably end in haste. Later, Wu Zetian probably felt that this ban was a bit excessive, so she was very tolerant to the parties involved when handling prohibited cases.

Zuo Shiyi Zhang De’s wife gave birth to a boy, so she secretly killed a sheep to entertain the guests. Among them was a man named Du Su. After eating a meal of mutton, he actually wrote a pleading to the emperor to report Zhang De.

When going to court the next day, Wu Zetian said to Zhang De: "Your wife has given birth to a boy. I am very happy to congratulate you." Zhang De thanked Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian asked again: "But where did you get the mutton?" Zhang De quickly kowtowed and claimed that he was guilty of death. Wu Zetian said: "I prohibit the slaughter of livestock. It is difficult to predict whether it will be good or bad.

But when you invite guests, you should also be selective in your interactions. Rogue people cannot gather together."

Then he took out Du Su's petition and showed it to him. Du Su betrayed his friends to seek success but was ridiculed instead. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

Wu Zetian obviously believed that Du Su's betrayal of his friends was a big deal, while Zhang De's violation of the ban on slaughter was a minor matter. It can be seen that even Wu Zetian herself later did not take the slaughter ban seriously.

There is another interesting story. One day, a hay cart overturned outside Dingding Gate in Luoyang, and the two killed sheep hidden in the hay cart were immediately exposed.

This undoubtedly violates the ban on slaughter. The gatekeeper who witnessed the incident immediately reported the clues to the censor Peng Xianjue.

Peng Xianjue may have arrived a step late and failed to catch the person pulling the hay cart, so he wanted to shift the responsibility to others. He wrote to the emperor and said: "Hegongwei Liu Mian specializes in the management of slaughtering. He did not notice this. He should be punished with a meal of sticks, and the mutton can be given to the officials of Shangshu Province."

Liu Mian was very scared when he heard about it, and quickly made a pair of thickened trousers to wait for the beating. Unexpectedly, the next day Wu Zetian issued an instruction in Peng Xianjue's memorial: "It is inappropriate for the censor Peng Xianjue to ask for a cane to beat Liu Mian.

The mutton should be given to Liu Mian." The news spread, All the officials in the court clapped their hands and applauded, but only Peng Xianjue was ashamed.
