Gui is a generation of emperors, with supreme power, in that feudal imperial country, are one person to decide, that is, the emperor, and in the Tang Dynasty Wu Zetian broke the big routine to become a generation of empresses, you can see her difference, although in that dynasty women are open-minded, but the heroine of the world is still unacceptable, Wu Zetian did it, and her ascension to the throne is also through ups and downs, in order to achieve her own goals, step by step to eliminate the stumbling blocks around her, even her new son does not let go, you can see her viciousness But such an emperor, she was jealous of this minister, and also wrote back to apologize, what is the matter?
The minister mentioned by the editor today is Liu Renji, who was born in a civilian family in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, because his family was not well off, so he studied hard, and he also loved to learn very much, living in that turbulent year, because there was no good reading environment, every time in his spare time, he used his fingers to write in the air, and finally achieved something, with a body of poetry and song.
Once Ren Zhen drafted a chapter for discussing state affairs, he took the straw paper and casually revised a few words on it, Ren Zhen thought he was very talented and arranged for him to join the army. Just in the barracks, there was a lieutenant named Lu Ning because of the violation of law and discipline, but no one dared to subdue him, Liu Renluo came forward to warn him that he could not commit the crime again, but he did not listen to it, but Liu Renluo beat him to death with a staff, and the news quickly reached Li Shimin's ears, he said that there was no reason, a small soldier dared to kill the lieutenant, and summoned him to accountability, but Liu Renluo was not afraid, saying that because he insulted me, so I killed him. After hearing this, Li Shimin felt that he was very upright, so he promoted him.
Since then, he has entered the official field, through the three generations of emperors Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian, he has been reused, because he has been reused by the emperor, which inevitably provokes the dissatisfaction of other courtiers, so he offended Li Yifu, the most trusted minister of Li Zhi at that time, and caused serious casualties among his crew members during a sea voyage, which was obviously the responsibility of Li Yifu, but he took advantage of this opportunity to marry Liu Renlu, and Li Zhi seized his official position and joined the army as an ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, he created a famous general in the future, he defeated the Japanese navy, and helped Li Ji pacify Goryeo, made important contributions to the imperial court, was appreciated by Li Zhi, and gave him a knighthood, but he was not proud of this, and then sent him to Chang'an City to assist the crown prince to oversee the country, and Wu Zetian, who already had real power at that time, saw his performance in his eyes.
After Li Zhi's death, Wu Zetian wrote him a letter, presumably meaning that she was in charge of the world in Luoyang, and everything in Chang'an City was entrusted to Liu Renluo. After reading it, he did not appreciate it at all, and also wrote a letter to reject her, and expounded on the chaotic government of Lü Hou, hoping to rebuke Wu Zetian for this.
After Wu Zetian saw the letter, not only did he not get angry, but instead wrote back, saying, "The emperor is guarding the mourning period, I am only acting in power, you use Lü Hou's chaotic government as an example to warn me, the metaphor is very profound, let me feel very guilty", Wu Zetian actually wrote back to apologize, according to her consistent style, for those who oppose her should be executed immediately, what is the reason why Wu Zetian is so jealous of him. In fact, Liu Renluo controlled Chang'an City in his hands, and as the base camp of the imperial court, if he moved him easily, it would cause great chaos, after all, he had enough prestige in the dynasty, so he wanted to win him over.
Wu Zetian was also a man of love of talent, and the merits of Liu Renji are undeniable, he was clean and honest all his life, and after his death, Wu Zetian stopped for 3 days.
