Anyone who knows a little about the history of the Tang Dynasty in ancient China knows the incident in which Empress Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor. At that time, in order to become emperor, Wu Zetian killed many courtiers who expressed their opposition to her. Shangguan Yi, who risked death, was one of the most famous of them. With Shangguan Yi's guilt and murder, the entire Shangguan family was greatly implicated.
As the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Wan'er entered the palace with her mother and became a maid. Shangguan Wan'er went from a lady of a high-gate family to a lowly slave who served the powerful, but she was eventually able to become Wu Zetian's most important female official and marry the emperor. Shangguan Wan'er's life is not legendary.
Shangguan Wan'er, the lady of the towel, became her Bole. In the end, under the appreciation of Wu Zetian, his cleverness was fully exerted. How did Shangguan Wan'er gain the appreciation of Wu Zetian and become a generation of Haojie? And how did he marry the emperor? If you want to explore these problems clearly, you need to walk into the history of the Tang Dynasty and walk into this "female prime minister".
According to historical data, Shangguan Wan'er can be described as famous. Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather, Shangguan Yi, was the chancellor of the dynasty during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. His great-grandfather Shangguan Hong and his great-grandfather Shangguan Xian also held important positions in the Sui Dynasty and Northern Zhou. The Shangguan family has gone through the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, two famous dynasties in Chinese history, which can be described as a veritable family of officials and eunuchs.
Thinking according to conventional logic, it is not difficult to imagine that Shangguan Wan'er, who is from a prominent background, should have an enviable infancy. However, every day according to people's wishes, just when Shangguan Wan'er was just born, Shangguan Yi was beheaded and paraded to the public for taking the lead in drafting the edict abolishing Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian killed Shangguan Yi, in addition to excluding dissidents, he also wanted to play a role in killing chickens and monkeys. It is hoped that through the severe punishment of shangguan yi's family, others will no longer dare to oppose themselves and commit rebellion. Therefore, with the death of Shangguan Yi, Wu Zetian began to deal with the Shangguan family, a group of "chaotic thieves" in her eyes.
After Shangguan Yi's death, the entire Shangguan family was severely punished by the imperial court. Although Shangguan Wan'er was in infancy at the time, she was not spared. Shangguan Wan'er was sentenced to follow her mother, Zheng Shi, into the harem and became a slave to serve others. The status of the ancient slave maid was extremely low, which meant that it was difficult for Shangguan Wan'er to have a head start.
Although it seems that there is no future, it is fortunate that Shangguan Wan'er has a mother who knows books and is literate and hyphenated. Shangguan Wan'er's mother, Zheng Shi, was raised very well by the family since she was a child, so she was able to enter the Shangguan family as Shangguan Yi's daughter-in-law. Zheng and Shangguan Wan'er's father had a harmonious relationship with each other, and they also improved a lot of cultural knowledge when reading Tianxiang.
As a slave, Shangguan Wan'er originally had no chance to read and be reasonable, but Zheng Shi could not bear to see his daughter's future hopeless. Under the careful upbringing of the Zheng family, Shangguan Wan'er's childhood can be said to be familiar with poetry books.
In addition to Zheng's careful cultivation, Shangguan Wan'er herself was also unusually intelligent. Twelve-year-old Shangguan Wan'er was already able to recite poetry and compose and understand history. And Shangguan Wan'er's composition can be described as a whisker. The articles made can also be well-written and beautiful, which is really like a good product that can only come out of a few days and nights.
Shangguan Wan'er's excellence soon attracted the attention of Wu Zetian. In order to better see Shangguan Wan'er's excellence, Wu Zetian actually summoned her personally and tested the questions on the spot. Shangguan Wan'er, with her extraordinary ability, made Wu Zetian greatly happy and admired. The thirteen-year-old Shangguan Wan'er was named a talented person, completely washing away the slave's untouchability.
Since being appreciated by Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er has completely begun to show her outstanding talents. After being stripped of her untouchable status, Shangguan Wan'er was promoted step by step from a low-status female official, and finally was directly acquiesced to the "right and left arm" of Wu Zetian's side. For a time, it was rumored inside and outside the court that Shangguan Wan'er was the "Prime Minister of the Towel".
Shangguan Wan'er was mainly in charge of the palace system, and at the same time participated in the decision of many courtiers to play the chapter. Whether it is the production of the mantra or the collaborative review of the recital, this is a great power. The reason why Wu Zetian dared to use Shangguan Wan'er so much was because she knew that Shangguan Wan'er had outstanding political talent and absolute loyalty.
Shangguan Yi's death made Wu Zetian an enemy of Shangguan Wan'er. As an empress of a generation, Wu Zetian was very wise and courageous politically. Being able to know people and make good use of them is the ability that every ming jun should have. Wu Zetian was naturally no exception. At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er did not live up to Wu Zetian's expectations, and handled various things very well to be appreciated by Wu Zetian.
Although Shangguan Wan'er can show her fists in politics, she is different from Wu Zetian and does not have an excessive lust for power. In Shangguan Wan'er's heart, like many imperial court officials, she also pretended to be suffering from people's livelihood. However, Shangguan Wan'er knows that she is a female streamer, and the family changes since she was a child have also made her cherish a marriage and love of her own.
Political identity forced the chief Wan'er to have no way to have her own love, but she ushered in a marriage that belonged to her. Shangguan Wan'er was able to marry Li Xian, and she also had an inevitable connection with Wu Zetian. Shangguan Wan'er, who did not agree with Wu Zetian's "MuJi Si Chen", was very much looking forward to Li Tang's restoration one day.
In order to allow Li Xian to sit firmly in the position of emperor, and also to be able to save himself in the political whirlpool of Li Tang, Shangguan Wan'er and Li Xian married. After marriage, Shangguan Wan'er was given the title of Zhaorong by Li Xian, and received good courtesy.
Throughout Shangguan Wan'er's life, it can be described as a rise against the wind. Familiar with the deeds of such ancients has a very positive significance for dealing with the world. In the book "China in the Classics", there are many famous figures in Chinese history like Shangguan Wan'er.

In addition, it can also play a very good role in the composition of poetry. Let people one day, through their own talents, like Shangguan Wan'er, turn the tables against the wind.
