In order to avenge her children, she competed with the harem for favors and eventually became emperor
Wu Zetian is the most famous female emperor in China's history, and under the suppression of China's thousands of years of feudal thinking of male superiority and female inferiority, the rise of Wu Zetian is undoubtedly the pride of women.
Wu Zetian was born in the family of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Taizong remembered the merits of his family, so he summoned her to the palace, became his maid, made her a talented person, and gave her the title of "Wu Mei". After entering the palace, the martial artist was very active, and among all the envoys of Emperor Taizong, his talent was the most prominent, so he stood out and received the attention of Emperor Taizong. In the period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, she was also named "Zhaoyi" by Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and among Emperor Gaozong's many excellent and attractive harem concubines, Wu Zetian was not a first-class beauty, but she relied on her own talents to "pass the barriers" all the way, and later became an empress, and got the title of "Queen of Heaven", together with Tang Gaozong, she was called "Second Saint". After Emperor Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian served as Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and Emperor Ruizong of Tang's empress dowager began to administer the imperial government personally.
In 690, Wu Zetian began to proclaim himself emperor, changing the name of the country from Tang to Zhou, and making Luoyang the capital, and since then, Luoyang has been known as the "Divine Capital". Before and after Wu Zetian's reign, the Tang Dynasty clan was massacred by her, and politics was changed to cool official politics, at that time Wu Zetian was already very strategic, after she had the idea of becoming an emperor, she began to plan step by step, rising higher and higher, and finally became the emperor, so the evaluation of her by posterity was mixed, but as a woman, it was not easy to become emperor, not to mention, she also created the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era" during her reign.
During her reign, Wu Zetian was good at observing, making good use of sages, and had great political talent, so during her reign, many sages appeared, and many heroic schemes were made during the period of helping her consolidate her power. In agriculture, she rewarded nongsang, reformed the administration of officials, attached importance to the examination of science, and many talents appeared. He made a lot of contributions to the imperial examination system.
For example, Wu Zetian met Li Shimin at a royal performance when she was 14 years old, when Wu Meiniang danced beautifully and was deeply liked by Emperor Taizong, and was specially given the title of "Mei Niang", from a 14-year-old maid to a talented person, the harem concubine was jealous of Wu Mei Niang, so she was expelled from the palace and entered the temple as a nun. After Emperor Taizong's death, a deep love affair between Wu Meiniang and Emperor Taizong also ended, and in Emperor Taizong's spiritual hall, Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong met and knew each other, and later due to pregnancy, they were taken back to the palace by Emperor Gaozong from the temple, but they did not expect that the child was miscarried.
In order to further achieve the purpose of revenge for the child, she began to compete with the harem for favors, defeating a number of concubines and successfully ascending to the position of empress. Before long, Wu Zetian helped Emperor Gaozong to clean up the Qing dynasty and consolidate his power, making the Tang Dynasty more and more powerful. After Emperor Gaozong's death, she began to be crowned and ascended the throne, becoming a generation of empresses, Wu Zetian. After becoming emperor, Wu Zetian began to give orders, changing the name of the country again and again, liked to give orders to the princes and ministers, and sometimes on a whim, he immediately ordered to change the names of the princes and ministers, so it can be found here that she is somewhat casual, and it can be reflected from the side that she pursues a more dashing life.
Takego, I think she is the most calm person. This can be proved by her patience with her eldest grandson and the fact that Lady Wei Guo is her careful liver. This is the most frightening aspect of her and explains the reason for her success. She was like an outstanding swordsman who would never waste her energy. Instead, it is to dodge, fight carefully, and never use a poisonous hand without a chance. She would wait for years, and then use a skillful web, a far-reaching web of fine work, to the edge of the earth, the corners of the earth known to civilized mankind, to search for her victims, and in the dream of that man, smash his head with a sharp axe, and judge and purge him. And at home, in the center of Kyoto, she wielded power, enjoyed glory and wealth, and pushed the responsibility for murder to the ground. As soon as one of the chiefs ran out, he was put to death, and another was used. It is not that those who commit crimes are put to death, but that "those who are executed sin" are killed. In this way, the murder is justified and legalized. All in all, Takego was the founder of the elaborate system and the originator of the neural fatigue method of extracting confessions.
All in all, the historical Wu Zetian, from the moment she returned to the palace from the temple, she has been plotting the beautiful and magnificent goal that belongs to her, through step-by-step efforts, relying on her own talents and political strategies, until one day to complete this great and brilliant dream. In this process, she gave a lot, experienced a lot, gained a lot and lost a lot. Too many sour Confucians adhere to the principle of regular ethics to women as emperors, and this little time should also contribute more to the country, so as not to waste the emperor's Qilu, "Wu Zetian" This book made me read a lot and gain a lot. I saw the black line that wandered into the heart of Prince Hong, the black line from the unrequited love of his father and mother in his life, the elegant and sick teenager, helpless and desolate, his heart was like his younger brother Xian, deeply buried with the seeds of rebellion, but the outbreak meant destruction.
The pure friendship between Li Dan, the king of Xiang, and the poet Wang Bo is like a bright star in the night sky, dazzling. Wang Bo's bravado and wildness, talent and uninhibited doomed him to be unsuitable for this repressive court full of blood and struggle, so he chose to leave. As he said goodbye to his best friend, "Wilder is at ease."
