Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in the history of China and an outstanding woman in the history of China. Her flattery skills are rare, just as Luo said in "Seeking Wu Zhao": "When you get started, you will be jealous, and a moth will not let people die; The flattery of the sleeve-covering workers will confuse God. "And her courage and generosity to rule the world is unprecedented, and there will be no one after her. Based on the principle of "nothing is true", historians wrote a chronicle for her that only the emperor can appreciate, and made an objective evaluation of her life: "Sitting on a group of people's lives, acting unjustly, making a fuss, getting drunk and smearing pepper, its nonsense is also full! "However, there is still a general theory of delaying death, being polite and upright, observing the Constitution and restraining ministers, listening to suggestions and punishing cruel officials, which is purposeful! It is purposeful! "
Wu Zetian is a native of Wenshui, Bingzhou. His father, Wu Shihuo, made a fortune by timber transportation and marketing at first, and later became a hawkish official in the Sui Dynasty. When Li Yuan marched into the Fenjin area, he often went to settle in the Wu family. Later, the Tang Dynasty unified the world. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Wu Shihuo's exhausted officials went to the Ministry of Industry as ministers, Jingzhou was the governor and lord protector was appointed. Wu Zetian's mother was the daughter of Yang Da, the imperial clan of Sui Dynasty. On the one hand, she believes in Buddhism; on the other hand, she is an expert. Wu Zetian's infatuation, power, conspiracy, Buddhism belief and even fornication seem to come from her parents' inheritance. Emperor Taizong's brilliant "Zhenguan rule" enveloped Wu Zetian's happy childhood. She is the kind of precocious girl, and at the age of fourteen, she has already shown the gorgeous amorous feelings of women. In this year, she became a "talent" of Emperor Taizong.
Emperor Taizong's wife, Empress Grandson, died when Wu Zetian was fourteen. Emperor Taizong missed her very much. He once built an earth platform in the palace and stood on it every day overlooking her grave. Even some officials ignored her. Wei Zhi, a famous minister who dared to speak out, came to the palace. Emperor Taizong invited him to the stage to have a look at the grave of his dead wife. Wei Zhi told Emperor Taizong that he only saw the grave of Tang Gaozu Tang Gaozu. Wei Zhi's words made Emperor Taizong stop looking at his dead wife's grave, but he didn't relieve his sadness. He was not interested in seeing the past six palaces, so some flattering ministers suggested that Emperor Taizong hold another beauty contest in the world. The beauty pageants of emperors in past dynasties have fascinated the whole world. This time, although it was no exception, Renji Kong Rong's daughter made it windy and rainy, forcing Emperor Taizong to stop the beauty contest, but Wu Zetian was elected to the harem.
The 41-year-old Emperor Taizong was fascinated by Wu Zetian from the moment he met her. Because of her gentle and charming body at the age of fourteen, he was puzzled by the charming cries of various customs when he was in debt. Emperor Taizong was lucky for three consecutive nights, which made Wu Zetian ill for more than twenty days. Emperor Taizong privately called her "Mei Niang" and named her "talented person".
According to the harem system in the early Tang Dynasty, there were so-called "four wives", "nine wives", "twenty-seven wives" and "eighty-one imperial wives", that is to say, in addition to the queen, there were 12 1 concubines.
The "fourth lady" is; Imperial concubine, German princess, Shu princess, virtuous princess.
The "nine wives" are: Zhao Yi, Zhao Rong, Zhao Yuan, Yixiu, Xiurong, Xiu Yuan, Fu Yi, Fu Rong and Fu Yuan.
"Twenty-seven wives" are composed of nine Jieyu, nine beauties and nine talents.
"Eighty-one imperial concubines" are 27 people, including Lin Bao, imperial daughters and talented women.
And thousands of unknown maids.
Strict preparation can only be supplemented in turn, and can't be changed at will under various excuses. Wu Zetian was rated as a "talented person" and ranked 30th among the 122 wives of the emperor. When she was fourteen, it was neither too high nor too low.
Wu Zetian was called into the palace in the late autumn of the eleventh year of Zhenguan. She originally wanted to have a good promotion opportunity. However, she served Emperor Taizong 12 years, and Emperor Taizong loved her. It can be seen that until the death of Emperor Taizong in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, she was not promoted and sealed again. What is the reason? At least two things made Emperor Taizong fix Wu Zetian's status as a "talented person" to prevent her from exerting greater influence in the harem.
The first thing is to present a BMW named "Lion Head" to the Western Regions. It can travel thousands of miles every day, but it is fierce and unruly. Many young and strong knights were so embarrassed that they even broke their bones. Even after half a military career, Emperor Taizong, who was crazy about horses and had excellent riding skills, was overthrown. He looked at BMW helplessly and shook his head and sighed. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian said, "Just give me three things and I can hand over this horse. Namely whip, hammer and sharp knife. First, whip it. It's already born and dying. If you don't listen, hit it on the head with a hammer, which will make it very painful. If you still can't subdue his violent temperament, cut his throat with a knife. " Emperor Taizong was a hero who was killed in troubled times. Many people have read his books, but he has never seen such an aggressive woman, so heartless and even vicious. He had to be wary of this young woman at that time.
The second thing is a folk secret biography: "After Tang III, the female ruler Wu Wang took over the world." In this regard, Emperor Taizong asked Taishiling Li. The answer is: "This man is already in the palace. Thirty years later, when there was a world, all the descendants of Li Tang were killed and his expropriation was completed. " Emperor Taizong was frightened to disgrace and prepared to kill all suspicious people. Li said; "God's will, people can't violate it, kings don't die, and many people kill innocent people; And 30 years later, he is old, or quite kind, for disaster or shallowness. If we kill her today, heaven may even give birth to a young, strong, angry and poisonous one. I'm afraid your descendants will be even more classless by then! " Emperor Taizong, who was unsurpassed in valor, once doubted Wu Zetian, so it was natural to limit her status and power as much as possible.
Wu Zetian is not an ordinary woman. She knew that Emperor Taizong was much older than herself. She can't be with Emperor Taizong all her life. Like those planned concubines, she looked for a backer for her way out after the death of Emperor Taizong.
The self-made dry prince was deposed from the throne by Emperor Taizong for indulging in debauchery. Emperor Taizong's favorite son was Wei Wangtai, and all the concubines in the palace had secret affairs with him. In addition, Wei Wangtai was young and beautiful, and several dissolute concubines secretly had an affair with him. Whenever he came in, he greeted him like a pot of fire, but Wu Zetian was always cold and far away from him. She has her own ideas, although she also deliberately wants to find a beautiful young prince. Imagine her future romance. But she wants a loyal boy more. Once in favor, she can reverse the manipulation and steal a glance at Wang Wei. He is a cunning and insidious boy, and he will never succeed in the future, that is, he will become a heartless and fickle husband. Therefore, the lecherous Wei Yu is still considerate of her, and she always ignores her. Her secret goals are cowardice, poor health and loyalty.
As long as a man is teased repeatedly by a woman, he will always understand what is going on, not to mention a beauty like Wu Zetian. One day after Li Zhi went to the toilet, Wu Zetian washed Li Zhi's hands with a golden basin full of water. She will kneel for the first half of her life and use the method of picking and teasing lightly. The clear basin water reflects Wu Zetian's flower-like love. Li Zhi finally unbearable fiery desire, and can't help but dipped in some water, gently bouncing to wu zetian's face, playing and singing:
At first glance, I recall the soul in Wushan dream, and the balcony road is separated from hate.
Wu Zetian immediately replied:
Before the brocade curtain, soak the golden basin in the rain and dew.
One is that the heart is swaying, and the other is that color gives the soul and makes a good thing. Li Zhi is a loyal man. He swore on the pillow that he would never forget his feelings today. Wu Zetian is a capable woman. Having served Emperor Taizong for so many years, she certainly knew his character. Under the cultivation of Wu Zetian, Li Zhi was clever in front of Emperor Taizong, and he was more and more loved by Emperor Taizong. It happened that Wang Wei was found to collude with the prince for personal gain after he abandoned Chenggan, which was the most intolerable for Emperor Taizong who had had the "Xuanwumen Change". On the recommendation of Sun Chang Wuji, Li Zhi naturally became a prince and lived in the East Palace.
The East Palace is close to the harem, and Wu Zetian is more closely related to Li Zhi. Even Li Zhi's wife, Wang, could see that there was no rain, but she thought that her status today depended on the coup of Wu Zetian, so she turned a blind eye and endured it. Therefore, on the day when Emperor Taizong's illness deteriorated, it was the time when the feelings between his kind prince and beautiful talents increased rapidly. On the deathbed of Emperor Taizong, Wu Zetian was pregnant with the son of Prince Li Zhi. What a mistake!
Emperor Taizong died, and Prince Li Zhi succeeded to Tang Gaozong. According to the rules of the harem in the Tang Dynasty, all the rich and female officials, especially "ladies" and "royal wives", must leave the inner palace and enter the temple to become nuns. Wu Zetian was no exception, of course, and followed them to the Narcissus Hall of Kanye Temple.
Looking back, those long years seemed like a prosperous dream. The 26-year-old Wu Zetian is the age when women are physically and mentally mature, but she listens to the bells and drums and even more leaks day and night, silently wasting her youth, and sometimes she feels hope when she thinks of Li Zhi, who is now an expensive son of heaven. She thinks that one day, she will pay more attention to palace lanterns. However, the waiting time is too long. Wu Zetian has passed the 30-year-old mark, and her hope and confidence are declining. She blamed Li Zhi and even blamed herself for choosing the wrong person. Just when she was desperate, she fell from the sky, and Tang Gaozong and his empresses visited Kanye Temple. Burn incense and pray for Taizong's death. Looking at the old lover's robe and bald head, honest Li Zhiliu shed tears. Others may think that the emperor is crying because he misses his biological father, Emperor Taizong, but the queen knows exactly why. "Mo Tao is relatively silent, and a little spirit is secretly linked. "Wu Zetian is very excited, blushing intoxicating, Tang Gaozong loving eyes looked at Wu Zetian from time to time. As long as the emperor remembers and remembers the old feelings, Wu Zetian knows that there is another way.
In fact, Queen He visited Wu Zetian on the fifth anniversary of Emperor Taizong's death.
For Tang Gaozong, he never forgot Wu Zetian, just because at the beginning of his reign, many military events required him to enter the situation and make necessary adjustments and arrangements. In addition, he was constrained by the Xunjin Group since the founding of the People's Republic of China and had to be cautious in his words and deeds to maintain his prestige. There is also a king and queen who was born in a noble family. He is controlled by courtesy everywhere. Another Xiao Shufei also distracted some of his feelings, so he didn't take care of Wu Zetian immediately.
As for the queen, it is even more necessary to meet Wu Zetian, because the queen was born in a noble family and was too virtuous and square to interest the emperor. I took the opportunity to take the emperor into my own hands, and played a good Xiao and made a good soup cake. He can also learn the swearing tone in the street and flirt with the emperor, and he constantly changes his strategy to stimulate the emperor's freshness. Therefore, the Queen was very jealous. She thought of Wu Zetian and did not hesitate to use the method of "quenching thirst by drinking poison" to deal with Xiao Shufei. When she saw the expressions of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian in the temple, she secretly smiled.
Tang Gaozong missed Wu Zetian, but because of Zuxun and his own cowardice, he was at a loss. At this time, Xiao Shufei gave birth to a son for the emperor. After secret arrangement, the angry queen quietly took Wu Zetian into the palace, grew her hair and changed her clothes. One spring night in the sixth year of Emperor Gaozong Yonghui, Wu Zetian was sent to Li Zhi's arms in Tang Gaozong without trace.
Wu Zetian entered the palace for the first time at the age of fourteen and became the little woman of Emperor Taizong. I was thirty-one when I entered the palace for the second time. With mature amorous feelings and maternal tenderness, Tang Gaozong, four years younger than her, was fascinated. The next day, she was canonized as Zhao Yi, who was the first of the nine concubines, second only to the Queen and the Fourth Lady, and was already the sixth person in the harem.
Wu Zetian tried her best to hold on to Li Zhi, and even condescended to stabilize the Queen as her stepping stone. Not much time, Xiao Shufei was defeated; After a while, Queen Wang also found that the situation was not good.
"The newcomer laughs and leans on the dragon bed, and the old man cries and falls." At this time, Wu Zetian was not only a thorn in Xiao Shufei's side, but also a thorn in the queen's side. As Pa Max Don, Foreign Secretary of the British Empire, said, "The British Empire has no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." Now it is the queen's turn to unite with Xiao Shufei in the harem competition and mercilessly attack and slander Wu Zetian, but how can she be Wu Zetian's opponent? Queen Wang's mother is Mrs. Wei, and her uncle is in the prime minister's country. She is usually bossy. Wu Zetian, on the other hand, experienced vicissitudes of life, tasted the warmth and coldness of the world and deeply understood the role of the "masses" with low status in the struggle. Therefore, she treats people with a low profile, and has achieved a good marriage relationship in the harem, gained extensive support and gained a favorable situation. In the process of infighting between the two sides, due to the information of the villains, she knew all about the movements of the queen and the king. "Know yourself and know yourself" is naturally "invincible."
Wu Zetian saw clearly that if she wanted to consolidate her position, it was better to attack rather than defend, and to win the dominance of the harem, she had to completely overthrow the queen, so after careful consideration, Wu Zetian made a "vicious move." A small number of non-gentlemen, non-toxic and non-husband, Wu Zetian strangled her daughter and then framed her. Tang Gaozong believed her words, and the queen's position was shaken. Then she accused the queen of using witchcraft in collusion with Xiao Shufei. Powerful and cowardly, Tang Gaozong finally ignored the opposition of a group of old ministers, and wrote a letter to abolish the queen in the winter of the sixth year of Yonghui, which was officially inscribed by officials. After the establishment of Wu Zetian, Tang Gaozong also wrote a magnificent imperial edict in the underground: "Wu Min is a bustling city with vast territory and abundant resources, so it should be. It was selected into the backyard and is famous for its Shu Wei and Lan Deguang leaves. I used to be in Chu Er, and I was very nice. I often have an entourage, so I have to leave sooner or later. Inside the palace pot, there are constant bows and shackles. I have never seen my eyes. I have learned sacred feelings and I admire every sigh. "Therefore, Wu Shi gave me the honor of a monarch, and I can be a queen." An imperial edict drafted by Xu specifically quoted the story that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was suddenly unhappy when he saw the prince and asked him to choose his own harem, Princess Jiali, to entertain the prince, and compared it with the relationship between Wu Zetian and the emperor and king of the Han Dynasty, so as to alleviate the ridicule brought by "father and son living in the same clan". It's really painstaking.
In order to prevent "wildfires from completely devouring them, they will be tall again in the spring breeze". Wu Zetian, who is resourceful and cruel and diabolical, will definitely root out the root causes and will not easily let go of the Queen and Xiao Shufei who have been left in limbo. Finally, under the entanglement of Wu Zetian's carrot and stick, she tried to die. Tang Gaozong couldn't stand the repeated tossing of Wuhou, and ordered the Queen and Xiao Shufei to die.
Traditionally, concubines hanged themselves by taking poison, but Wu Zetian ordered the Queen and Xiao Shufei to each have a stick of 100 mm, then cut off their hands and feet and threw them into a jar, saying that they were weak! The queen didn't say a word until she died, but Xiao Shufei screamed, "May Ah Wu be a mouse, I am a cat, and I will strangle her!" Xiao Shufei's words, like nails, were nailed to Wu Zetian's heart word for word. From then on, even mice in the palace were not allowed to keep cats.
After consolidating her position in the harem, Wu Zetian stepped up her efforts to take advantage of Tang Gaozong's illness, took most of the government affairs into her own hands, and ascended the throne of the emperor. To this end, she must first gain a foothold among those senior officials.
In the first year of Linde, Tang Gaozong, Shangguan Yi, assistant minister of Xitai, wrote a letter condemning Wu Zetian's call for warlocks to enter the palace. Tang Gaozong was also very angry, thinking that everything was done by Wu Zetian, so he ordered Shangguan Yi to abolish Wu Zetian on his behalf, but poor Tang Gaozong finally withdrew his order and lost Shangguan Yi's life under the attack of Wu Zetian's tears. After the Shangguan Yi incident, most courtiers kept their mouths shut. Tang Gaozong completely surrendered after a little resistance to Wu Zetian. Since then, Wu Zetian has become more unscrupulous. All administrative power depends on her. She stepped up efforts to cultivate her power. People in China called her and Gao Zong "two saints". Soon, Wu Zetian called herself "Tianhou" and publicly promulgated the policy of 12, which led to the monopoly of the platform.
In the first year of Hongdao, Tang Gaozong suffered a heart attack and died at the Zhenguan Temple in Luoyang at the age of 56. Wu Zetian is already in her sixties. Prince Li Zhe ascended the throne, and it was Tang Zhongzong. Soon after, Wu Zetian convened one hundred palaces in Gan Yuan Palace, abolished Zhongzong as the king of Luling, and made Li Dan, the king of Yu, the emperor, namely Tang Ruizong. All political affairs were arbitrary by Wu Zetian, who also sealed Wu's relatives, and her confidants were everywhere in the court. After listening to the government's opinions for several years, when everything was under control, Wu Zetian officially declared herself as the holy emperor on the second day of the first year of divine providence, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and established seven temples of the Wu family. Because of the resolute opposition of Li Zhaode, assistant minister of Fengge, she even prepared to make her nephew Prince tachileik. She was named "Qi", which means the sun and the moon are in the sky. The year is 690 AD. Wu Zetian is also a 67-year-old woman.
"For Tianming, home is the only thing!" China has always opposed women's interference in politics. Wu Zetian not only interfered in politics, but also took Li's regime away with great fanfare. Old ministers in the Tang Dynasty fought in succession, and the teacher of the diligent king was surging, and the world was boiling. Xu Jingye, a descendant of Xu Maogong, is the most famous one. Wang's "Dai Li" is aimed at Wu Zetian's "Emperor Taizong's", and ... The jackal killed Mrs. Xiong Tu's regicide. Call, see who owns the field of today's world! "
For those who oppose her, Wu Zetian's first choice magic weapon is whip, hammer and sharp knife. What is openly rebellious like Xu Jingye is the suppression of the army; Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Wang, Qiu and other cruel officials were appointed by people with different ambitions and ulterior motives in the imperial court center, and many times they provoked prison chaos. At that time, Wu Zetian set up a hospital in Jinglimen, making Lai Junchen the master of the hospital and in charge of major cases. People call this magistrate's court a newly opened door. When the defendant enters the newly opened door, very few people in 100 are saved. Every time he comes to interrogate a prisoner, regardless of the severity, he will pour vinegar into the prisoner's nose or put the prisoner's body in a big urn. During the trial, he burned charcoal around the urn. He also cut off his food and gave the prisoner dirty cotton to eat when he was very hungry. He made the No.10 flail, No.1 had pulse, No.2 had asthma, No.3 had disaster and asthma, No.4 had masterpiece, No.5 had courage, No.6 had reaction, No.7 had reaction, No.8 had sorrow for the dead pig, No.9 had death, and No.10 had family ruin. 10 cangue is equipped with iron cage head. The prisoner was pinned down by the cangue, suffocated by the iron cage and died immediately. Every time you catch a criminal, let him walk in front of the instruments of torture, and then he will summon up the courage to fly over. There is nothing unfair. During the reign of Wu Zetian, hundreds of imperial families and ministers were killed in Tang Li, and many more were below.
On the one hand, Wu Zetian used capital punishment, exiled Chu Suiliang, executed Sun Chang Wuji, and eliminated a number of senior officials who opposed her. On the other hand, she pays more attention to winning people's hearts. For example, when cruel officials killed innocent people, she also killed some cruel officials one after another to ease the situation. In the second year, she proclaimed herself emperor, killed Suo Yuanli and exiled Zhou Xing to Lingnan, which showed that there was another person for the crime of indiscriminate killing. When Lai Junchen was killed in 679, his enemies fought for the flesh of his body and immediately bit it out, gouged out his eyes, peeled off his skin, cut open his stomach and took out his heart, and trampled it into mud. When she saw the public's anger, she wrote a book detailing Lai Junchen's sins and accused skyclan of being "angry with snow."
Wu Zetian cultivated her own power while belittling and killing others. Wu Ze is very insightful in selecting talents. The famous minister Di, as well as the famous figures Yao Chong and Song Dynasty in the "Kaiyuan Shengshi" later, were all trained by her. At that time, the top civil and military scholars recommended by various States, counties, prefectures and counties all went to Luoyang to be sealed, and Wu Zetian was broad-minded in employing people. Even Luo, who scolded her to pieces, thought that talents were rare. A man named Shen Quanjiao wrote such a doggerel.
Fill in the blanks and connect with the car, and clean up the balance;
Blame the school bookkeeper for pushing suggestions.
Paste the heart and caress the messenger, squint at the holy jade emperor.
She not only publicly slandered state affairs, but even Wu Zetian herself was scolded, which was a charge of decapitation. Someone sued Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian said with a smile: "This is nothing."
Wu Zetian can tolerate the good advice of the immediate secretary. As we all know, Wu Zetian is very lewd in her personal life. She specially set up a "crane control prison" to study offerings before going to bed. Xue Huaiyi, Shen Nanzhang, Zhang Yizhi, Hong Changzong and others all became her Toy Boy.
Xue Huaiyi, formerly known as Feng Xiaobao, is a street drug dealer, burly, strong, articulate and good at accepting and releasing. She is a lover seduced by her daughter princess. When Wu Zetian knew that she was in love with her, she was actually very satisfied. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, she also made him a monk Monk Xue relied on Wu Zetian, and his arrogance was smoked for a while. But one day, Xue Huaiyi met Prime Minister Su Liangsi in court. Su Liangsi didn't like his arrogance and ordered the attendants around him to slap him severely. Xue Huaiyi cried to Wu Zetian with a swollen face, and the answer was: "I'm afraid of this old man, too. Teacher A will go in and out at the north gate in the future, and the way of Prime Minister Nan Ya going in and out must not be invaded. " It can be seen that Wu Zetian made a clear distinction between Toy Boy who gained wealth and the ministers who worked for him.
Regarding this matter, Princess Taiping, Wu Zetian's most famous baby daughter, once said to her mother personally, "Why not choose someone with excellent appearance to help you enjoy your sacred feelings and get rid of your worries?" Why do you favor those street hooligans and let future generations be laughed at? " Wu Zetian replied with emotion: "What you said is true. A few days ago, the Prime Minister hit Xue Huaiyi in the mouth, which just bullied him as an ordinary person! " Your son is proficient in literature and ink. How dare Nanya insult him? "So Princess Taiping took the opportunity to recommend her concubine to Wu Zetian, namely Zhang Zongchang, the son of Zhang Jiucheng, assistant minister of Emperor Taizong Fengge. First of all, she introduced Zhang Zongchang's brother, who is nearly sixty years old, with fine features, perfect figure, no leisure time, thin but not exposed, and well-fed. Then quietly describe the beautiful scenery between beds: it tastes like fresh litchi in the South China Sea, and the entrance is light and tender, which makes people feel dizzy. Wu Zetian was filled with joy, that is, she said she would do it, and was named Toy Boy with Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang. Laying ivory beds, decorating seven treasures, drinking Yuanyang lanterns and eating seafood, Wu Zetian thinks that this time it is the son of a public official, and ministers may not have empty words. Since then, the Zhang brothers have taken turns to serve the bedroom, and there is no taboo.
But this time, she was stopped by Di Renjie, a loyal minister with broken bones. Di Renjie initially forced Wu Zetian to clear the "crane-controlled prison" in the filthy palace. This time, he hardened his neck and said to Wu Zetian: "I used to withdraw the' crane control prison', which is not worthy of the name. Today, although the name of "Hekou Prison" has been deleted, the second Reng Zhang is by your side, which really tired the reputation of the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor is determined to leave this stain in the future, and he is willing to go twice. Wu Zetian was not angry about this, but explained obliquely: "I have long known that you are a loyal old minister, so I gave you the important task of the country." But it's especially inappropriate for you to ask, because I won twice. Actually, it's for self-cultivation I used to worship my ancestors, gave birth to too many children and exhausted my blood, so I was entangled in diseases and diseases. Although I often take supplements such as ginseng antler, the effect is not great. Shen Nantang said: "The decline of blood gas is beyond the reach of medicine stone. Only by adopting mandarin ducks to raise roots can yin and yang be combined and full of blood! " I also think it's fake. I tried, but soon my blood became stronger and stronger, and my spirit became stronger and stronger. This is by no means a lie. I have two teeth to prove it. "Say that finish show di Renjie two new teeth. Empress Wu Zetian pushed Di Renjie with an open mouth, which embarrassed the loyal and upright minister Di Renjie for a while. Di Renjie had to make concessions, but he still said indomitable: "It is also appropriate to moderately adjust the sacred bow, and indulging in indulgence is harmful enough. But I know that your majesty will not be like the historical empresses Qin and Hu. I hope your Majesty will come here for this reason, and you can't add Toy Boy in the future. " Wu Zetian said kindly: "What you said is a good suggestion, and I will definitely converge in the future! "Although on the court, the monarch and his subjects argued about Toy Boy in obscene language, which can be said to be a rare miracle throughout the ages. Wu Zetian is also hard to do this.
Zhao Yi, a famous historian in Qing Dynasty, said in "Notes on the History of Dry Ears": "The master is rich in the four seas, and the concubines move thousands of times. Later, he became a queen, but it was not too strange that he only favored a few people, so he didn't think it was taboo at first, and he didn't have to be shy. " This should be a fair comment.
The higher a person's power status is, the harder it is to listen to other people's opinions. Wu Zetian is the emperor. She can treat her most sensitive problems with a fair attitude, so she is more likely to meet other people. This kind of mistake is easy to make, especially on major issues, but Wu Zetian can listen to the opinions of his subordinates with an open mind and correct them. In addition to the Toy Boy problem mentioned above, the following things can also explain this problem.
Wu Zetian became the emperor, who will be her heir, and Wu Shi's children are eager to camp, or Di Renjie said to Wu Zetian; "Emperor Taizong, regardless of the wind and rain, sealed Feng and dysprosium to set the world, and should pass on the throne and the world to future generations. Emperor Gaozong entrusted his two sons to His Majesty, and His Majesty is now ready to transfer this legacy to others. Is this not in line with God's will? Besides, which is more intimate than the mother-child relationship? Your majesty has made his son an heir, so he can still eat the ancestral hall after thousands of years and inherit it endlessly. " I have never heard that my nephew is the son of heaven, but you can still worship your ancestors and aunts in the ancestral hall. Please use civilized language? "Wu Zetian summoned Luling Wang Lizhe from Zhou Fang in March of the first year of the holy calendar and named him Prince.
Regarding coachable, Wu Zetian's servant, Sima Guang said in "Zi Jian": "Although the abuse of Luwei has won the hearts of people all over the world, those incompetent people will be found out or punished." With the handle of reward and punishment, you can control the world, your political truth will come out, you can see clearly and judge well, and you can use it as a saint. The famous Song Jing threatened to break Zhang Changzong's head, but she called Zhang Changzong to apologize. Song Jing refused to see her, and Zhang Changzong refused to listen to her slander. She became a successful emperor because a group of competent ministers were willing to work for her. During her reign, the social economy of the Tang Dynasty continued to develop, and the prosperous situation of Kaiyuan was the foundation she laid.
Wu Zetian respected Buddhism all her life. During her reign, Buddhism became a widely spread religion among the people. One of the reasons why Wu Zetian believes in Buddhism is that she thinks she pays too much attention to killing and doing evil to accumulate virtue. One idea is that she loves Xue Huaiyi and others; There is also a more orthodox view that the founder of Taoism, Lao Zi, surnamed Li Mingyong, was regarded as an ancestor by Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and Wu Zetian seized the Li family's world and worshipped Buddhism to belittle Taoism.
Another legend comes from the first statement, that is, Wu Zetian believed in Buddhism because she killed too many evils, that is, Wu Zetian claimed to have lived in Luoyang for a long time since she became emperor, instead of living in Chang 'an, because she killed too many people in Chang 'an Palace, and the palace was often haunted, which made her nervous. Peony is a famous flower in Luoyang, and there is a saying in history that she degraded and killed peony. So far, hibiscus flowers are difficult to be elegant and used as fences, which is the identity and purpose set by Wu Zetian.
This year, Wu Zetian was eighty-one years old and finally fell ill. Five ministers of Zhang Jian attacked Prince Li Zhe in Xuanwu Gate, stabbed Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong brothers to death, forced Wu Zetian to abdicate, and passed the throne to Li Zhe, and Li Zhe was Tang Zhongzong.
Wu Zetian died. She ruled for forty-six years, as a queen for twenty-four years, as a queen mother for seven years and proclaimed herself emperor for fifteen years. At the last stage of his life, besides the name of the emperor, he was still buried with Emperor Gaozong in the name of Emperor Gaozong, which was called Ganling. However, because Wu Zetian's influence is far greater than that of Emperor Gaozong, people usually call it the tomb of Wu Zetian. The whole tomb is a complete mountain and looks like a lying woman. It takes about two hours to see her grave from the lower abdomen and through the cleavage. Magnificent mountains, magnificent tombs and prosperous Tang Dynasty must be different. It is said that her mausoleum is the only one in the Tang Dynasty that has not been stolen. During the Huang Chao Uprising in the late Tang Dynasty, she appeared here to bless her descendants.
There are different opinions about the descendants of Wu Zetian, and there are different opinions about the merits and demerits. A more just judgment is still like this: "However, the curtains are thin and not mended, and their details are fixed. And know that people are good at their duties, and the power does not move down. It can be said that it is not a female master of Chinese and English. "
