Li Fu, the Duke of Tang, had only one daughter, and after Li Yuan became emperor, he crowned his only sister as Princess Tong'an Chang. Princess Tong'an chang married into the Taiyuan Wang clan, and she had a niece and granddaughter of the Wang clan. Wang was born with five surnames and seven looks, and he had an innate sense of superiority and developed a high-cold personality.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Boling Cui clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Longxi Li clan, the Zhao County Li clan, and the Xingyang Zheng clan were first-class Gaomen Ling clans, and called the five surnames Qiwang. At that time, the scholars and doctors were proud to marry five women with five surnames. The five women with the surname did not worry about marrying, and they did not even look up to the children of the royal family.
After Li Shimin became emperor, he crowned his only aunt as Princess Tong'an. Princess Tong'an is in the Zhenguan Dynasty, which can be described as a star and a moon. As long as the aunt opened her mouth, Li Shimin would try his best to meet the aunt's request. Princess Tong'an asked Li Shimin to choose a prince and ask him to marry his niece and granddaughter Wang.

At that time, the crown prince Li Chengqian married the crown princess Su Shi, and the Wei king Li Tai married the Wei princess Yan Shi. Among all the unmarried sons of Li Shimin, li zhi, the youngest son of the Jin dynasty, was the most honorable.
Li Shimin asked Li Zhi to marry Wang And made Wang a princess of Jin. Li Zhi became the crown prince, and the Wang clan was the princess concubine. Li Zhi became emperor, and Wang Shi was Empress Wang.
From Princess Jin to Princess Wang, to Empress Wang, the Wang clan is a high-cold personality. The innate sense of superiority in Wang's bones made her unable to put down her body and please her husband Li Zhi. This matter is a classic of the "Zizhi Tongjian. Vol. 199, the original text is: "After the song can not be bent on the left and right." ”
For men, the cold beauty can only be seen from a distance. If you let a man and a cold beauty be a couple, life will definitely not go well. Li Zhi married the high-cold beauty of the Queen's clan as his wife, and his married life was definitely not happy.

In ancient times, polygamy was practiced. The women around Li Zhi, in addition to their wives Wang Shi, also had many concubines. Li Zhi's favorite concubine was Xiao Shi, who was good at currying favor with Li Zhi. One is Gao Leng's wife, the other is an empathetic concubine, and Li Zhi naturally prefers Xiao Shi.
Empress Wang competed with Concubine Xiao Shufei for favors, and was defeated one after another. Empress Wang thought of a way, and she asked Li Zhi to go to the Ganye Temple and take Wu Meiniang back to the palace. Wu Meiniang's origin is not noble, and his father, Wu Shiyan, was a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. The warlord's reading, compared to the women of the family clan, is very shabby.
In Her childhood, Wu Meiniang had the tragic experience of being driven out of the house by her brother. The samurai had two marriages, and the original wife Xiang Lishi died early, leaving behind two sons, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. Wu Shiyan remarried to the Hongnong Yang clan and gave birth to three sisters of Wu Meiniang.

When the samurai died, Wu Meiniang was still a minor. The two brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, in order to monopolize the inheritance, drove their stepmother Yang Shi and three half-sisters out of the house. Wu Meiniang had just experienced the pain of losing her father, and was kicked out of the house by her brother.
Wu Zetian's mother, Yang Shi, was a devout Buddhist. After yang was expelled from his home, he returned to Chang'an and went to his mother's house. During those days, Yang often took Wu Meiniang to the Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha. Under the influence of his mother, Wu Zetian also became a Buddhist.
Wu Meiniang reached the age of marriage and was selected by Li Shimin as a talented person. Wu Meiniang's name was given by Li Shimin. Wu Meiniang did not get the grace of Li Shimin, and after entering the palace for more than ten years, she was still a talented person with five pins, without any progress.

After Li Shimin's death, Wu Meiniang was forced to go to the Ganye Temple to become a monk. After entering the palace, I didn't get anything, just got a nun status. Although Wu Meiniang became a buddhist disciple, she still cherished the prosperity of the world.
The tragic experience of childhood and the life of not being favored in the palace made Wu Meiniang develop the character of a Snake Heart. She will seize every opportunity that can change her destiny, and she can bow her head and do anything in order to change her destiny.
Once, Emperor Gaozong of Tang took Li Zhi to the Ganye Temple to pray for the blessing of the former emperor Li Shimin. Tang Gaozong saw the long-lost Wu Meiniang, and the two of them wept relatively. Empress Wang wanted to use Wu Meiniang against Concubine Xiao Shufei, so she secretly ordered Wu Meiniang to grow her hair. When Wu Meiniang's hair grew, Empress Wang persuaded Li Zhi to bring Wu Meiniang back. Li Zhi pushed the boat along the water and took Wu Meiniang back to the palace.
This matter is a classic of the "Zizhi Tongjian. Volume 199), the original text is: "On the day of death, Shangyi Temple xingxiang, see it, Wu Clan weeping, Shangyi weeping." When the queen heard this, Yin ordered the Wu clan to grow long hair, and persuaded her to go to the inner harem to take the favor of Concubine Jian. ”

Wu Meiniang had just entered the palace, and her foundation was still unstable. She showed the side of the Buddha's mouth and actively courted the Queen Wang. Empress Wang thought that Wu Meiniang was a good person, and recommended Wu Meiniang to Emperor Gaozong of Tang several times.
This matter is a classic of the "Zizhi Tongjian. Volume 199), the original text is: "Wu Clan Qiaohui, multi-weighted number, the first entry into the palace, humble and condescending after the fact; after love, the number is called its beauty on the top." ”
Emperor Gaozong of Tang also liked the well-behaved Wu Meiniang, so he crowned her as Zhaoyi. Just when Empress Wang thought that Wu Zhaoyi was a good person, Wu Zhaoyi revealed a snake heart. Wu Zhaoyi was good at dancing with long sleeves, and bribed the palace ladies around Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei. Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei had any movements, and Wu Zhaoyi knew it all.
This matter is a classic of the "Zizhi Tongjian. Vol. 199, the original text reads: "Those who are disrespectful to Wu Zhaoyi will fall in love with each other, and the rewards will be shared with them." From the queen and the movement of Concubine Shu, Zhaoyi will know it, and it will be heard on it. ”
When Wu Zhaoyi secretly built a spy network, the high-cold Empress Wang was unaware. Empress Wang had always thought that Wu Zhaoyi, who was honest and responsible in front of her, was a good person, and she had no intention of guarding at all. By the time Empress Wang and Consort Xiao Shufei sensed Wu Zhaoyi's ambitions, it was already too late.
Under the pressure of Wu Zhaoyi's steps, Empress Wang was tired of coping, and she was not Wu Zhaoyi's opponent at all. Empress Wang's end was tragic, not only was she deposed as empress, but she was also killed by Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang ascended to the throne of the empress as a concubine.
In my opinion: "The death of the queen queen, the death of too high and cold." If Empress Wang had been a little more down-to-earth, with her noble origins, she would definitely not have lost so badly. ”
