The name Wu Zetian is well-known in Chinese history, after all, it is the only woman who is called the emperor, as a woman, how to achieve the position of emperor step by step in the era of men's respect, its practical one word can be summarized, fierce, there is a saying that good, people are not fierce and unstable, Wu Zetian's experience is completely the epitome of this sentence, the history of Wu Zetian, can ascend to the throne of the emperor, what means did she use?
Wu Zetian is one of the best beauties, and for this reason, the family sent her to the palace, men like beautiful women, Tang Taizong Li Shimin can not escape this "curse", named her a talent, and also called her a beautiful woman. However, there are too many beautiful women in the harem, plus there are often new beauties entering the palace, and the heat of Wu Meiniang here in Tang Taizong slowly recedes, and there is no favor in this statement.
After Li Shimin's death, Wu Meiniang was sent to the Ganye Temple, but she was not willing to stay in the temple at a young age, but also to stay for a lifetime, after Emperor Gaozong of Tang ascended the throne, once went to the Ganye Temple to incense, Wu Meiniang felt that the opportunity had come, so she made full use of her beauty, let Li Zhi disregard her identity, regardless of the opposition of everyone, brought her back to the palace and included her in his harem. At this time, the harem was still in charge of the empress at that time, and at this time, Wu Meiniang, who was already pregnant, chose to act in a low-key manner, not to clash with her head-on, and it was a big deal to give birth to the child first, after all, the child was the best chip that could be used to consolidate the position.
After the birth of her son Li Hong, Wu Meiniang began her plan, she first firmly grasped Li Zhi's heart, let Li Zhi spoil herself, and then under the pretext of making friends with Empress Wang, let Li Zhi know that she respected Empress Wang, and finally attacked Empress Wang when she gave birth to her first daughter. The princess was born, Empress Wang, as the lord of a palace, must have come to visit, after the visit of Empress Wang, Wu Meiniang personally strangled the princess, and then threw the pot to Empress Wang, the princess died, Li Zhi was very angry, even if Empress Wang defended, Li Zhi still beat her into the cold palace, Wu Meiniang later found an opportunity to let Empress Wang die quietly in the cold palace.
Empress Wang, the person who threatened her the most, was no longer there, and Of course Wu Meiniang succeeded in becoming empress, because of Li Zhi's health, Wu Meiniang began to control the road of the court again. She was all focused on national affairs at that time, snubbed Li Zhi, and added that the harem was already equivalent to an empty shell after Wu Meiniang became empress, Li Zhi was sullen in his heart, and he wanted to find someone to accompany him and couldn't find it, just at this time, Wu Meiniang's sister Wu Shun entered the palace to see, the two people were getting better, and when Wu Meiniang knew, the relationship between the two was already like glue.
Her own sister actually did something that threatened her own position, which made Wu Meiniang very angry, but things could not be done on the surface, so she began the old routine again. Expressing happiness about the two people getting better, and then privately solving Wu Shun, he can kill his own sister, not to mention other people who are not related to her, as long as they stand in her way, they will be killed.
Wu Zetian was able to take the throne, and along the way, he was covered with thorns and thorns, and his hands were stained with blood, but this was also the path that every emperor had to go.
