In order to compete for favors, Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei fought and lost.
The reality is in front of him: Li Zhi has been to the Ganye Temple more and more times.
At this moment, Wu Zetian was also pregnant.
Empress Wang was almost on the verge of collapse, her jealousy was getting stronger and stronger, and her hatred was increasing day by day, in order to defeat Xiao Shufei's opponent, Empress Wang decided to find another way!
At that time, the underground love affair between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian was already an open secret. For Empress Wang, in order to please Li Zhi, deal with Concubine Xiao Shufei, acquiesce in their love affair, or take Wu Zetian to the palace is actually the best choice. Empress Wang actually understood that letting Wu Zetian enter the palace was tantamount to attracting wolves and driving away tigers, but in order to defeat Concubine Xiao Shufei, even if it was to drink and quench her thirst, it was not impossible!
Objectively speaking, taking Wu Zetian into the palace would do more harm to Empress Wang than to the other. If Wu Zetian's affairs were not taken care of, Empress Wang might be defeated; if she took care of Wu Zetian's affairs, Empress Wang would still have the opportunity to turn the tables.
In Empress Wang's script, Wu Zetian had to play at least two roles.
Role One: Grateful Dade's pawn.
Wu Zetian was purely a character who sat on the bottom of the prison, and even Li Zhi was powerless to fish her out. If Empress Wang came to the rescue, Wu Zetian would definitely be grateful to Shu Zero, right? At that time, even if Empress Wang did not send a job, could Wu Zetian not take the initiative to show loyalty? What's more, Wu Zetian had no status in the palace and no family power, who could she rely on?
Character Two: A marionette in the harem.
Li Zhi liked Wu Zetian and Xiao Shufei, and in order to compete for favors, they would definitely beat their heads and bleed, and they would be chicken feathers on the ground. Empress Wang didn't have to do anything, she just needed to show tolerance and generosity, and when Li Zhi was tired of the two of them, she would naturally consider returning to Empress Wang's side. At least, that's what Empress Wang thought.
In such a situation, if anyone else is replaced, I am afraid that they will choose to welcome back Wu Zetian.
After some deliberation, Empress Wang secretly sent her cronies to The Ganye Temple, directly explained her intentions, and asked Wu Zetian to grow her hair to practice and wait for her news at any time.
Wu Zetian could never have imagined that the one who gave her the opportunity to change her destiny would be Li Zhi's wife, Empress Wang.
The use of dead wood in spring to describe Wu Zetian is probably the most appropriate.
However, intuition told Wu Zetian that Empress Wang must be a weasel to give the chicken a New Year's greeting, and she was not at ease. The problem was that she stayed at the Ganye Temple for a long time to practice, knew nothing about the harem, and could not make the most accurate judgment in the face of empress Wang's overtures, let alone know where her fate would go. Wu Zetian's only wish was to leave the Temple as soon as possible, and she did not want to bury her youth in this hopeless place.
Since then, Ganye Temple has lost a harem concubine who laments the future and fate, and more of a young woman who looks forward to the future. Wu Zetian took good care of her hair, because she knew that the moment she wore a long hair shawl was when she returned to the Taiji Palace.
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, after the death of parents, sons need to observe filial piety for three years, during which they cannot do anything that violates ethics and morality, and their speech and actions are greatly restricted. In fact, because parents breastfeed their children for twenty-seven months, the actual time for filial piety is also twenty-seven months.
In July of the second year of Yonghui (651), Wu Zetian had already grown a black and beautiful hair, and Li Zhi had just completed twenty-seven months of filial piety for Li Shimin. The time has come, and the Queen Wang should also take action!
Empress Wang found Li Zhi and said with tearful eyes, "Your Majesty, the concubines have something to say to you." ”
Li Zhi's expression was rather cold: "Empress, what do you want to say?" ”
Empress Wang: "Your Majesty, your concubines already know about you and Lady Wu. Concubines are not people who specialize in the harem, Wu Meiniang is now pregnant with the dragon species, let her stay in the Ganye Temple is not the way after all, the concubine means to take her back to the palace, give her a title, let her give birth to the child first! ”
Li Zhi was a bit blind, and this was not the routine that Empress Wang should have.
He stared at the queen, trying to read out her thoughts. However, Li Zhi is a mortal after all, not to take Wu Zetian back to the palace, is afraid that the harem will give pressure, and now empress Wang is passing on a strong goodwill, how can Li Zhi question it, his most urgent thing is to take Wu Zetian back to the palace.
Li Zhi was quite excited: "Empress, are you serious about this?" ”
Empress Wang: "Your Majesty, taking the beautiful lady back to the palace is indeed the intention of the concubines!" ”
Li Zhi looked at Empress Wang, and his eyes were filled with tenderness and gratitude.
In November of the eleventh year of Zhenguan (637), Wu Zetian entered the palace for the first time, and his identity was that of Li Shimin.
In July of the second year of Yonghui (651), Wu Zetian entered the palace for the second time, as Li Zhi's lover outside the palace.
Fourteen years ago, she was full of pride and confidence, and wanted to find a place in the harem to change her fate, but she was treated coldly by Li Shimin for no reason, and she spent twelve years of her youth in vain.
Today, she is a 28-year-old young woman, and what she can rely on in the future is not her age and posture, but the will to survive, political wisdom and means of survival beyond ordinary people.
When he stepped into the Taiji Palace for the second time, Wu Zetian's heart was surging and could not be calmed down for a long time.
Empress Wang, a master who holds the power of life and death, what do you really want?
Objectively speaking, Wu Zetian's political wisdom is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and within a few days of entering the palace, she has clearly understood the situation of Yunbo's devious struggle. In this war without smoke of gunfire, she must stand on the side of the Queen Wang, first to win her own life, and then to seek development, and there is no second choice.
Vigilance and acting opportunistically are the golden rule of those who have achieved great things.
Relying on others and using it for oneself is the only way for every big person's life.
Queen Wang, now I am one of your pawns, but on my big chessboard, you are just a pawn of mine, and everyone uses each other, just to see who can laugh and be proud to the end! After Wu Zetian entered the palace, he regarded Empress Wang as his reborn parent, deliberately kept a low profile, thanked Dade everywhere, and obeyed a mess.
Wu Zetian knew that Empress Wang wanted Concubine Xiao shufei to fall out of favor and wanted the emperor to return to her side. As a woman, Wu Zetian definitely did not want to push Li Zhi into the arms of Empress Wang, and the encounter in the Ganye Temple made her deeply feel what loneliness and despair were, and if possible, she hoped that Li Zhi could accompany her day and night.
However, if you want to get it, you must give it up first!
According to historical records, Wu Zetian's forbearance and humility made Empress Wang very satisfied.
Since Wu Zetian entered the palace, Li Zhi and her had both stayed and flew like glue, and in Xiao Shufei's bedchamber, Li Zhi stayed less and less. Watching Xiao Shufei lose Li Zhi's favor, Empress Wang was a little overwhelmed, and she repeatedly praised Wu Zetian's virtuous and virtuous virtue in front of Li Zhi, and was even more complacent about this move she had taken.
For Empress Wang, taking Wu Zetian back to the palace was the first step, using Wu Zetian to deprive Xiao Shufei of her status was the second move, and as for the third step, I am afraid that it was to let them both out and dominate the harem by themselves.
Playing chess against each other pays attention to the long-term layout and sees through the other party's mind. Unfortunately, Wu Zetian's Daoist deeds seemed to be a little stronger than Empress Wang's. Moreover, Empress Wang held a small chessboard, and Wu Zetian held a large chessboard.
For Empress Wang, attacking Concubine Xiao was her goal.
For Wu Zetian, wasn't it also her goal to deprive Concubine Xiao of her right to sleep?
Soon, Wu Zetian gained his new title: Wu Zhaoyi.
According to the system, Zhaoyi is at the head of the nine concubines, the level of the second product, and then the concubine. A man who loves her woman will definitely give her the best thing. The same husband, the same emperor, Li Shimin gave the talent of Zheng Wupin, Li Zhi gave Zheng Erpin Zhaoyi, who is true love, at a glance.
While Empress Wang was busy calculating Concubine Xiao Shu, Wu Zetian was already calculating her. Wu Zetian found that Empress Wang came from a noble family and felt that she was noble and did not take others seriously. Harem concubines could not enter the eyes of the queen, let alone the palace ladies around them!
Not only that, When Empress Wang's mother, Lady Liu of wei, and her uncle Liu Yi met the harem concubines, they always felt that they were superior and arrogant and cold, and the entire harem respected them.
The enemy of the enemy is his own friend, and this is the political wisdom of Wu Zetian.
When Wu Zetian was free, he often chatted with the palace people who were disliked by Empress Wang, and often gave them some money. These people are well aware of the principle of eating people's mouths and soft mouths, and they know that the harem is a vanity fair full of changes, and they repay the favor and secretly inform Wu Zetian of the actions of Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao.
In this war without smoke of gunfire, Wu Zetian has stood at the top of the food chain through his own careful arrangements, and only needs to wait for the best time to kick out all his opponents.
