Why did Wu Zetian, who was 80 years old, still look for a male attendant? The reason is different from what you think
History is sometimes a mess, what kind of evaluation is true, what kind of evaluation is false? For example, the only empress in the prosperous world of the Tang Dynasty, her evaluation is very extreme, like her praise for her to go to heaven, do not like her destruction of her to hell, and she, leaving only a wordless monument for posterity to guess, but she calmly restored to the daughter-in-law of the Li family did not stay in that supreme position, all this is really difficult to ponder!
When the fourteen-year-old wujia second lady entered the palace, I don't know if she remembered that when she was dressed as a boy, she was taken out by her mother to tell the fate of the Dao Chief, when the famous Yuan Daochang of the Tang Dynasty saw her and was shocked, saying that if the little prince was a daughter, he would be in charge of the world. Although the family was surprised to hear it, they really didn't take it seriously. Later, her father died, and her stepbrother bullied their mother and daughter, and eventually she took the road into the palace.
When she entered the palace as a young girl, wu was named a talented person and given a beautiful name; at that time, Emperor Taizong had a talented girl like Xu Hui to soothe his grief at the loss of his eldest grandson empress, and he did not have much male and female affection for this beautiful fourteen-year-old girl, but felt that this woman was too bold and a little displeased because of her handling of the lion horse. Later, Wu Mei learned to read, but was only summoned by the emperor as a maid who served pen and ink, and she learned a lot of means to deal with state affairs, and her heart was also raised a lot.
When Emperor Taizong was seriously ill and his favorite youngest son, Li Zhilai, came to serve the sick, he actually had feelings with this young talent who served his father and emperor, which perhaps his father did not expect. The two people thus became entangled, Emperor Taizong died, Wu became a monk, and Li Zhi, who became emperor, could not resist Xiangsi to meet Wu Zetian, causing her to become pregnant, and finally returned to the palace with the help of Empress Wang to seal Zhaoyi.
From wu zetian step by step until she stepped onto the emperor's throne, and at that time she was already over the age of huajia and was a sixty-year-old person. Now there are many people who criticize her because she found a lot of male attendants at that age, and she is also a beautiful boy. In fact, at that time, the empress dowager was very busy dealing with state affairs, and she was not enthusiastic about the affairs of men and women, but more that she felt that the years were fading, the deep palace was lonely, and the teenager who chose to enter the palace was really just as a pet. A man can have three palaces and six courtyards as an emperor, but she is a woman, what is it to raise a few beautiful teenagers? And many things in Shi Zai also show that although she spoiled these teenagers, she was really not confused, and when she finally chose the heir, she did not take into account the beloved Zhang brothers, and even the people of the martial family gave up under the persuasion of Di Renjie, still making her son the prince, and finally returned the throne to the Li royal family.
