After Li Shimin's death, he arranged for Wucai to go to Ganye Temple as a nun.
Ganye Temple is located in Housho Village, Liucunbao Township, Weiyang District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, and the current Ganye Temple Primary School was built in the temple. It is an imperial temple in the Forbidden Garden of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a stone fence and a well of Wu Zetian.
Why the temple is called "Ganye", because the temple was built by the Sui Emperor. The Sui Dynasty Emperor was named "Daye", built the Grand Canal, attacked Goguryeo, and he was also moved by his great achievements, so he built a temple and named it "Ganye".

Ganye Temple, lonely tells the vicissitudes of history
Why Li Shimin arranged for martial talents to become monks is actually a variant of "martyrdom culture". In his later years, Li Shimin loved two talents the most, a martial artist and a Xu Cai, that is, Xu Huifei. Xu Huifei was martyred. "Emperor Beng, mourning into the disease, refusing to take medicine, the emperor met me thick, I have to first dog and horse to serve the garden, Wu Zhiye." Yonghui died in the first year, twenty-fourth year, gave concubines to xian, and accompanied the burial of the Zhaoling Stone Room." What is the "dog and horse waiting for the garden", that is, like dogs and horses guarding the homeland, they follow their masters all their lives and never abandon them.
Therefore, Wu Zetian's renunciation is also a disguised form of martyrdom, which means "from one to the end", and there can only be one man in a lifetime. Because the monks are "out of the three realms, not in the five elements", they are pure-hearted and widowed, green lanterns, ancient Buddhas, greens, turnips, green silk and white heads, to spend their lives.
The Martial Talents ren ganye temple monks
What exactly do the martial artists do at The Ganye Temple? It is to read the scriptures and chant the Buddha, and to quiet the ghost of Li Shimin. Therefore, after Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, and he had to go to The Ganye Temple to burn incense on the day of Li Shimin's death and worship his father's dead spirit. As a result, I met a martial artist who became a monk here.
Li Zhi entered the palace to serve Li Shimin when Li Shimin was seriously ill, so he met the martial artist who also served in front of Li Shimin's bed. "Seeing the talented Wu clan and pleasing it" . "Yue", the "Treatise on the Tradition of Speaking Literature" explains: "Yue, Judas says also, wipe also, liberation also." If the human heart is depressed, it can be explained."
Some people analyzed that because Wu Meiniang and Empress Eldest Sun looked very similar, it gave birth to Li Zhi's Oedipus complex. Li Zhisheng is introverted and gentle, and is not good at expressing himself, so he needs to be enlightened and comforted. And Wu Meiniang is three years older than Li Zhi, and the so-called "female junior, holding gold bricks" just plays the role of this sister and mother. Therefore, Li Zhi's obsession with martial talents is all caused by the Uplow complex.
Li Zhi first saw Wu Meiniang, with a look of dependence
So there is the following scene, Li Zhimiao saw the Wucai people: "Wu Clan weeping, Shang also weeping." Why cry, heartache to cry. Why heartache, it is difficult to find a voice.
Many TV dramas have played Li Zhi as a sex wolf and Wu Meiniang as a sex ghost, and the two will do what they want to do as soon as they meet, but this is not the case. Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang have real feelings. Li Zhi really needed such a strong woman from his heart.
After Empress Wang knew, "Yin ordered the Wu clan to grow long hair and persuade her to go to the Inner Harem." That is to say, it is not Li Zhi who wants to make the martial talents vulgar, but the Empress Wang wants to let the martial talents return to the palace.
Why did Empress Wang do this, in order to compete with Concubine Xiao Shufei for favors. Empress Wang was childless, and Li Zhizheng favored Concubine Xiao Shu, so Empress Wang hoped that Wu Meiniang would suppress Xiao Shufei's prestige.
In fact, there is another reason that has been ignored, that is, Xiao Shufei is a zhengyipin, only one step away from the empress, while the wucai people are only zhengwupin, several levels behind. Empress Wang's biggest competitor was Consort Xiao instead of Wu Meiniang, so she came up with this trick.
Empress Wang also has a heart and mind
After the martial talents entered the palace, they were very good at playing and coaxed the queen to turn around. Empress Wang was very happy, and she always praised Wu Cai in front of Li Zhi for his understanding, "Wu Clan Qiaohui, multi-powered, first entered the palace, humble and humble after the fact." After loving it, the number is called its beauty on the top", so it was not long before the martial talents were greatly favored and worshipped as Zhaoyi.
Zhaoyi is Zheng Sanpin, one step closer to the empress position. More importantly, "the queen and the lady concubine are in decline". Li Zhi liked Wu Meiniang and did not like Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei.
Then there is a play of three women, which I will not repeat. In short, Wu Meiniang's means were much higher than those of Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, and Li Zhi believed in Wu Zhaoyi and did not believe in Wang and Xiao. However, "although the post-favor is declining, it is not intentionally abolished." That is to say, Li Zhi had no idea of abolishing the posthumous at all. When Wu Zhaoyi took a look, it was not okay to make a small fight, and he had to sacrifice a big killing weapon. So there is a familiar scene, that is, strangling his own daughter.
For this matter, the old and new Tang Books have been recorded, and the Zizhi Tongjian has also been accepted, and Feng Yuejun has read many analysis articles of Tang history, and there is no intention of overturning the case for Wu Hou, so it can be seen that this matter can be trusted. The Zizhi Tongjian is vivid and lively, and we try to quote as follows: "Zhaoyi will give birth to a daughter, and after pity, after it comes out, Zhaoyi will be killed by the submarine, and it will be overturned." Up to, Zhao Yiyang laughed and was looked at, and the woman was dead, that is, she cried. Ask left and right, left and right, the queen is here. On the fury, after killing my daughter! Zhaoyi pleaded guilty for crying. After the self-evident, the upper reason is the will to abolish."
This paragraph everyone does not want to watch can be skipped, anyway, the TV has been played thousands of times, I believe that everyone has memorized it, not redundant. In short, at this time, Li Zhicai decided to abolish the queen.
Empress Wang visited Wu Zhaoyi's daughter and was married
However, after Li Zhi wants to abolish it, he must pass the pass of the eldest grandson.
Here's the question, why did The eldest son support Empress Wang and not Wu Zhaoyi, Mr. Chen Yinke said it was because of the faction. Empress Wang belonged to the Guanlong faction, along with Changsun Wujie, while Wu Zhaoyi belonged to the Shandong faction and to Li Ji (Xu Maogong).
Feng Yuejun did not dare to agree with this. Mr. Chen's knowledge is broad and profound, and the mountains are uplifted, which is not something that a post-learning boy like Feng Yuejun can question. Feng Yuejun was just proposing his own ideas here.
The New Book of Tang/Biography of Later Concubines clearly states: "Emperor Gaozong deposed the Hou Wang clan and the Qi people of Hezhou, and the grandson of Wei Shangshu Zuo's servant Si Zheng"; "Emperor Gaozong was the empress dowager of the Wu clan and the Wenshui people of The Prefecture." Father's Day. ”
See, Empress Wang and Wu Zhaoyi are fellow countrymen, both from Hezhou. Empress Wang was from Qi County, Taiyuan, which was the place in the Qiao family compound. Wu Zhaoyi is from Wenshui County, Lüliang, across the river from Qi County. The two were fellow villagers, and according to the analysis of the county, they both belonged to the Guanlong faction. Therefore, factions are not very valid at first.
Qi County, where the Qiao family compound is located, is the hometown of Empress Wang
So why did the eldest grandson wujie support Empress Wang, in fact, in the final analysis, it was because of personality. Empress Wang's "sex is simple and heavy", what is simple and heavy, simple and stable, easy to get along with. And "martial talents have the right to count, and the tricks are not endless", it is not easy to get along. Would you rather work with a simple and stable woman, or with a cunning and changeable woman? This is the fundamental reason why the eldest grandson is unscrupulous in opposing the abolition.
Li Zhi then did a great job of changsun Wujie, first demoted his dignity to Wu Zhaoyi and the two of them, came to the eldest sun Wujie's house to visit the door, ate, "drank and drank extremely happily", and on the spot, he gave the three sons of the eldest son Wuji the official title, and also gave ten cars of "Golden Treasure Brocade". It is gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, all of which are valuable things. Then he told the eldest grandson Wuji that Empress Wang did not have children, and wanted to let the eldest grandson Wujie take a stand, but the eldest grandson Wujie "did not go along with his words", ripped away the topic, and took care of him left and right, and did not pick up this stubble. Li Zhi and Wu Zhaoyi put a cold ass on their hot faces, "displeased."
Wu Zhaoyi also asked his mother, Lady Yang, to come forward and personally go to the eldest grandson Wuji's house many times to do work, but to no avail. "There are many prayers, but no taboos will not be allowed." You must know that Lady Yang is a vein of the Sui Dynasty Emperor, representing the Yang family in Guanzhong, and her speech is also a bit weighty, and now for the sake of her daughter's future, she has to pull down her old face, and she is also open-minded.
Li Zhi also asked Xu Jingzong, the head of the Rebbe, to do the work of the eldest grandson Wujie, and as a result, he was scolded by the eldest grandson Wujie.
The eldest grandson is unscrupulous and stubborn
Li Zhi couldn't see that the eldest grandson was unscrupulous, so he had to find heavyweight helpers. So the protagonist of this article appeared.
In the sixth year of Yonghui, that is, the sixth year of Li Zhi's reign as emperor, the fifth year of Wu Zhaoyi's entry into the palace, one day in September, after work, Li Zhi "summoned the eldest son Wuji, Li Ji, Yu Zhining, and Chu Suiliang into the inner temple" to discuss the matter. It's just that everyone comes to me after work to work overtime and say something.
In fact, everyone knows what to say. As a result, "the performance is not enough". Li Ji, that is, Xu Maogongtui said that he was sick and wanted to go home to take medicine, but did not go in.
Wu Jie waited until the inner temple, and Shanggu said without scruples: "The empress has no children, Wu Zhaoyi has a son, and now she wants to set up Zhaoyi as the queen, how can it be?" ”
Sui Liang said to him: "Empress Master, the former emperor was married by His Majesty." When the former emperor was about to collapse, his majesty said to his courtiers: "Shu Jia'er and good wife, now Fu Qing." His Majesty's words are still in his ears. The queen has never heard of it, how can it be lightly wasted! "The lord is not pleased.
The gist is that the queen was married to you by your father himself, and your father took your hand before he died and entrusted you and her to me. Have you forgotten? Besides, the queen hadn't heard of any fault, so how could she easily abolish it.
In fact, chu Suiliang's words did not make any sense. The truth lies here in Li Zhi. Li Zhi said clearly that Empress Wang could not give birth to a son, and Wu Zhaoyi gave birth to a son. The ancients had the saying that "seven out of three will not go", and the second out is "childless" and "for its peerless world". That is to say, a woman can leave as long as she cannot give birth to a son. Li Zhi took this article to say things. But Chu Suiliang said that his wife was married to you by your father, so it cannot be abolished. Using filial piety to suppress Li Zhi is actually impossible to suppress. Because "no filial piety has three, no queen is greater", not being able to have children is the biggest filial piety.
As for Chu Suiliang's statement that the empress was not a big mistake, was it a big mistake to strangle Wu Zhaoyi's child? Although this is a suspicious case, it is difficult to argue, and all the evidence is unfavorable to the queen. Therefore, Chu Suiliang is a strong argument.
The next day Li Zhi said this again. I don't want Chu Suiliang to perform worse. Sui Liang said, "Your Majesty will want Empress Yi, please choose the Heavenly Order Clan, why wu clan!" The Wu clan was known to all the emperors beforehand, and the eyes and ears of the world were well known. After Bandai, how is Your Majesty! Think twice! "On the fury, the fate leads out." Zhaoyi shouted in the curtain, "Why don't you kill this beast!" ”
Chu Suiliang means, you really want to change your wife, why do you want to change Wu Zhaoyi, the women in the world are not dead, you can change someone else. Wu Zhaoyi used to be your father's wife, known to the world. Thousands of years later, what do you let the world say about you?
Chu Suiliang may have been in a hurry to say this, but this is a big taboo, called "which pot does not open which pot" to mention. Such a levelless word to say, engaged in the eldest grandson unscrupulous is also very passive. There are things to say, things to talk about, you can't reveal that it is not. Therefore, even Li Zhi, who had always been gentle and introverted, was angry and ordered people to pull out on the spot. Wu Zhaoyi was even more angry to death, shouting behind the curtain, why not beat this guy to death on the spot.
It is a derogatory term for southerners since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which is equivalent to "Southern Barbarians". Chu Suiliang was a native of Hangzhou, so he was called "Fang" by Wu Zhaoyi. At that time, they looked down on each other, and the southerners called the northerners "servants". The so-called "South and North" are called "Southern And Northern".

Then eldest grandson Wuji's teammates Han Yu and Lai Ji also came to advise, but they all returned to no avail.
Only at this time did Xu Maogong (Li Ji) take the shot.
One day Xu Maogong came to see him, Li Zhi asked, I want to establish Wu Zhaoyi as empress, the big guys all said no, you see the land.
Xu Maogong only said one sentence softly: "Why should you ask outsiders more about this family affair of Your Majesty?" "You marry a wife and see for yourself, there is no need to ask others. This sentence seems very ordinary, but it is very to the point. So "the will is decided".
After Li Zhi made up his mind, Xu Jingzong preached in the courtroom: "Tian Sheweng collects more than ten pieces of wheat, and still wants to change wives, and if the Son of Heaven wants to establish a queen, He Yu and other people will have a vain objection!" "A peasant who has collected three or five buckets more wants to change his wife, let alone a tianzi to make an empress." It takes so many people to worry about it.
So xu Maogong and Xu Jingzong are right and not right. Because since ancient times, it has not been a family affair, but a state affair. Same as Prince Li. The Emperor and Empress Dowager are three-in-one, like the three legs of the Ding. Can the emperor be compared with the peasants changing wives after the establishment of the emperor?
Of course, it is also true, because you are the emperor, and you want to change your wife or change the prince, just make up your own mind. Others are nothing more than talking.
Why Xu Maogong supported Wu Zhaoyi, Mr. Chen Yinke said, because Xu Maogong belonged to the leader of the Shandong faction (Wagang faction), almost all the Shandong faction supported Wu Zhaoyi. Changsun Wuji belonged to the leader of the Guanlong faction, and almost all the Guanlong faction supported Empress Wang.
Therefore, behind the abolition of Empress Wang and Wu Zhaoyi was actually the competition between the Shandong faction and the Guanlong faction. And the person who finally made Li Zhi make up his mind was Xu Maogong.
Why does Xu Maogong have this boldness? Because Li Shimin was entrusted to orphans on his deathbed, he entrusted Li Zhi to the eldest grandson Wuji and Xu Maogong. Xu Maogong was also one of the Tuoguo heavy subjects.
Therefore, Xu Maogong was the one who really decided the fate of Wu Zhaoyi's life. If Xu Maogong did not support Wu Zhaoyi, she would probably not be an empress, nor would she become an empress, and then the history of China would be rewritten.
