Wu Zetian is very beautiful, there is no objection to this, right?
The women who were elected to the palace were all beautiful and smooth, and their skin was white and beautiful. What's more, Li Zhi, who was still the crown prince at the beginning, had seen thousands of beautiful women, loved Wu Zetian alone, and was fascinated by her fascination, which showed that Wu Zetian's appearance was indeed outstanding.
Wu Zetian's ability is outstanding, which is also an indisputable thing. It is also rare in Chinese history that a woman can reach the pinnacle of power in a patriarchal feudal society.
Then, the beautiful and capable Wu Zetian, why did Tang Taizong Li Shimin not have so much interest? So much so that Wu Zetianjin was still a talented person for six years.
Then, when we analyze why Wu Zetian was not pleased by Tang Taizong, let's first look at what kind of woman Tang Taizong liked.
There was one woman that Tang Taizong cherished all his life, and she was empress dowager. Empress Eldest Sun was the most respected woman in Tang Taizong's life. She was born noble, dignified and virtuous, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and married Li Shimin, the King of Qin, at the age of thirteen. When Li Shimin wanted to discuss state affairs with her after he ascended the throne, Empress Eldest Sun said: "The morning of the rooster is only the rope of the family." How dare a concubine, a woman, foresee political affairs? "It means that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and I am a woman and a Taoist family, and it is not good to point fingers at major state affairs."
However, Empress Eldest Sun was definitely not an ordinary ignorant woman, she was well-read and insightful, she could talk to Emperor Taizong about the past and the present, and she was an empathetic sage. A woman like her, virtuous but unwilling to make a splash, intelligent and able to restrain her own sharpness, what she does is extremely in place, but also measured. For an ambitious Taizong who rules the world, it is a spiritual harbor that can be found after the fierce battle of swords and storms outside.
Therefore, Tang Taizong, an emperor with a domineering, courageous, and courageous personality, likes women who complement his personality, can correct his own position, are gentle and generous, and are virtuous and virtuous.
What about Wu Zetian's character? There is such a story recorded in ancient books. One day, the weather was windy and sunny, and Tang Taizong brought a group of concubines to see the horses. Among them was an inconspicuous talent, Wu Zetian, who had been in the palace for a long time and was still a little transparent. Emperor Taizong looked around at a horse called the Lion Horse and couldn't help but marvel: This is a good horse, but no one can tame it. After saying four times there was silence. Suddenly, the martial man shouted: Your Majesty, I can subdue it! Tang Taizong looked at her in surprise. Wu Zetian said in an arrogant tone, "However, I need three things." Iron whip, hammer and a dagger. Tang Taizong said: What do you want these things for? Wu Zetian laughed and said, "Your Majesty, such a violent horse, ordinary horse training tools are useless." Special means must be used. I first whipped it with an iron whip, and if it did not obey, I hammered its head with a hammer, and if it did not, I stabbed it with a dagger. Tang Taizong was shocked when he heard this: This little girl looked delicate and weak, and she was very fierce in her speech and deeds. There was no follow-up to this matter, and the martial talents did not receive any feedback from the emperor. Tang Taizong did not take a stand and ignored the past. It can be seen that Tang Taizong did not like this personality, and even a little disgusted.
To a certain extent, Wu Zetian was bold and persevering, and his wrists were fierce to achieve his goals, which was similar to the personality of Tang Taizong, who launched the Xuanwumen Revolution.
Therefore, each flower enters each eye, Tang Taizong has his own preferences, and Wu Zetian is not his cup of tea. However, in Tang Taizong' presence, he could not find a sense of existence, and he could change people, which was not true, in Li Zhina, Wu Zetian realized his ideal of life.
