Wu Meiniang, Wu Zetianye, named Wu Cao, is the only female emperor in the history of our country who is officially called emperor, that is, the only orthodox female emperor, not only that, she is also the oldest emperor in history when she ascended the throne. Wu Zetian occupies an important chapter in history books. Since she was the only female emperor, the legend about her was naturally indispensable, and she also became one of the popular objects created and played by literary scholars throughout history.

Wu Meiniang, can become an emperor, in addition to her own natural ability, but also inseparable from the promotion of nobles (whether intentional or unintentional help, that is also a noble person), for example, in history, these two "Li" name people are Wu Meiniang's nobles, one said a word to save her life, one said a word to make her an empress, for the future to call the emperor emperor to pave the way, then these two "Li" surname nobles are who xu people, and listen to the past to say:

The first "Li" nobleman surnamed Li Chunfengye was the author of the tuiden map, when Li Shimin for the sake of Li Tang Jiangshan Yonggu, in order to eliminate the threat of "female protagonist Chang", he gathered all the harem beauties (Wu Zetian was also inside), after searching for the "female lord Chang people" without results, decisively ordered people to behead all the people in the harem, at this time, Li Chunfeng in order to save the innocent, came out to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, do not act recklessly, if you do not kill this person now, leave his life, Li Tang Jiangshan is only for his short time, if you kill him, After that, he was reincarnated as a man and then seized the Jiangshan, fearing that li Tangjiangshan would no longer exist." When Li Shimin heard this, this made sense, so he did not kill the harem beauty (including Wu Zetian), and Wu Zetian luckily escaped the disaster.

The second nobleman with the surname "Li" was the famous Tang Dynasty general Li Jiye, whose original name was Xu Shixun, who was later given the surname Of Li by Li Shimin, and avoided the world, so he was called Li Ji, which was Xu Maogongye in the "Sui and Tang Dynasty". Later, Li Zhi ascended the throne as Emperor Gaozong, and soon after he made Wu Zetian a talented man, he wanted to depose Wu Zetian as empress, but faced opposition from the humeral ministers such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, and the unhappy Emperor Gaozong visited Li Ji's home one day and one night to ask him what he thought of making Wu Zetian empress after the abolition, and he was as clever as Li Ji, and he cleverly answered this question, And Li Ji said: "This is a matter of Your Majesty's family, why ask outsiders." Listening to Li Ji's words, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi suddenly realized, and then deposed the then empress Wu Zetian as empress, and Wu Zetian stepped onto the political stage, paving the way and laying the foundation for his subsequent ascension to the Ninth Five-Year Dignity. Li Ji also inadvertently became Wu Zetian's favorite nobleman.
Repentance said: Exactly: Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor Ruo and so on, a lifetime of good encounters with noble help, the second Li Kaiyan ascended to heaven! (Text: Pan Xiexi)
