We read all the lead to present a different history.
Wu Zetian is a person who is very familiar to everyone, and is also the only female emperor in history, of course, Wu Zetian was able to successfully sit on the throne in the society where men were superior to women at that time, which shows that she did have the ability to surpass ordinary people, as the saying goes, a person gets the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, Wu Zetian also wanted to promote his Wu relatives after becoming emperor, but helplessly the Wu family is unable to support the mud on the wall, not only did not wholeheartedly assist Wu Zetian but everywhere to find trouble for Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian became Li Zhi's concubine after being very favored, because her biological sister Wu Shun naturally also gained the privilege of free access to the palace, although Wu Shun was older than Wu Zetian, but after all, it was a sibling, Wu Shun's beauty also attracted Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, because Wu Shun often went in and out of the palace She also had more opportunities to contact Li Zhi, so that Wu Shun hooked up with Li Zhi.
Wu Zetian was very angry after learning about the relationship between her sister and her husband, but considering the sisterly feelings, she only scolded Wu Shun fiercely and then drove her out of the palace, and Wu Shun felt very ashamed after returning home, so she hanged herself. Wu Zetian was very guilty after seeing his sister's death, so he treated WuShun's daughter Helan Minyue with extra kindness, but Helan Minyue did not learn his mother's lesson and wanted to marry his uncle Li Zhi.
Helan Minyue looked very beautiful, and Wu Zetian and Wu Shun were even more flattering, she often went in and out of the palace and successfully attracted the attention of Li Zhi, Li Zhi included her in the harem, this sub-Wu Zetian was really very angry, this mother and daughter both had to intervene in their marriage, so Wu Zetian tried his best to get rid of his niece.
Once Wu Zetian's cousin brought a bunch of mountain treasures and seafood from outside to offer to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian had an idea, so she gave these delicacies to Helan Minyue, but Helan Minyue quickly poisoned herself after eating it, and it is estimated that she did not expect that her aunt would poison herself in the food.
This kind of thing seems very absurd now, but in the past under the rule of the imperial power, it could be accepted by the world, and this mother and daughter duo lived a rich life by Wu Zetian but were ungrateful and interfered in the marriage of others, and the only fortunate thing was that they did not leave any heirs, otherwise these chaotic generations did not know what to call.
