Before solving this problem, we must first understand why Wu Zetian killed people.
In ancient times, kings with normal brains did not kill people at will, and the ancients often said that teachers are famous, and killing people also needs a reason. Most of the kings in ancient times who liked to kill people had some psychological perversions, and killing people at will was to satisfy their psychological perverted pleasure, such as Qin II and the Northern Qi Emperor in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, who killed to make themselves happy.
Judging from historical records, Wu Zetian is just a woman with a strong desire for power, and her psychology is quite healthy, Wu Zetian kills people to clear the obstacles on the road to the throne, and Wu Zetian needs a reason to kill people.
First, let's look at wu Zetian before he came to power.
Wu Zetian was originally a harem concubine of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and was forced to work as a nun in the temple because of Li Shimin's death. Later, he fell in love with Li Shimin's son Li Zhi, was released from the temple, and returned to the harem of the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Zetian was born a genius in palace fighting, and Wu Zetian relied on Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's love for himself, defeating his opponents in the harem step by step and climbing to the throne of the empress.
After all, Wu Zetian was a concubine of the former emperor Tang Taizong, and in the process, some of the ministers in the imperial court, such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, all opposed Tang Gaozong's establishment of Wu Zetian as empress, but these people were punished by Tang Gaozong, and Wu Zetian also took advantage of Gaozong's favor for himself to indirectly kill these Tang ministers who opposed his ascension to the throne.
Ke Cheng bites what kind of person is, after watching "Sui and Tang Heroes", we all know that Cheng Biting Jin is honest and straightforward. But he was also very clever, he did not oppose Wu Zetian at all, so Wu Zetian's wave of killing process naturally would not affect Cheng Biting Jin.
Second, let's look at wu Zetian after he came to power.
When Cheng Yaojin died in 664, Wu Zetian had just come to power, and there was no cheng yaojin among the opposing forces he faced. From emperor Gaozong entrusting state affairs to Wu Zetian to Wu Zetian's claim to the throne, this period of time is probably the most murderous period in Wu Zetian's life.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yaojin died early and did not catch up with Wu Zetian's wave of murderous frenzy. Assuming that Cheng Biting Jin did not die, as long as he did not stand up against Wu Zetian as emperor, Wu Zetian would not do anything to Cheng Biting Jin.
Wu Zetian killed most of the people who wanted to kill himself, and rarely affected the innocent. Because Wu Zetian was able to restrain the scope of the power struggle at the top and not let the killing of the political struggle spread to the innocent people, although the struggle at the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty continued, and many princes and ministers of the Tang Dynasty lost their heads because they opposed Wu Zetian, the middle and lower levels of the Tang Dynasty were still safe and sound, and all major state affairs were handled as usual, and the Tang still maintained a strong national position.
Perhaps everyone knows that in order to become an emperor, Wu Zetian used many means to attack his own flesh and bones, leaving everyone with the impression of a female butcher.
In fact, in real history, Wu Zetian was still quite restrained, and the people he killed were not as many as everyone thought. It is only in the eyes of historians who are inferior and male to magnify Wu Zetian's crimes.
Moreover, Wu Zetian was a wise man, who understood who should be killed and who should be kept, and as long as he found out that there was no opposition to his own thoughts, even if he was caught, he would be given freedom.
For example, Di Renjie was once falsely imprisoned and forced to confess to the crime of rebellion in prison. However, Wu Zetian believed that Di Renjie was an innocent man and kept Di Renjie to serve the imperial court, so he released him from prison and let him continue to serve as an official in the imperial court.
Cheng Biting Jin is a rare military talent, if Cheng Biting Jin and Di Renjie encounter the same, I think Wu Zetian will also let Cheng Bite Jin a horse, giving Cheng Biting Jin a chance to continue to serve his own life. In fact, to be able to ask this question, there are still some misunderstandings about Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian was a very wise female emperor, she continued the rule of Zhenguan, and opened the way for the later Kaiyuan prosperous world, and the name of loving to kill people was really not suitable for Wu Zetian.
