Wu Zetian, a black man all day, is not stupid white sweet, nor is it white and black, wu Zetian, who entered the palace at the age of 14, is an out-and-out political genius. It is difficult to imagine a palace girl who finally got the power of the government and successfully ascended the throne at the age of 67.
As for the process of Wu Zetian's rise to power, the author believes that in addition to her efforts, there are also opportunities given to her by the times. The nomadic blood of the Li Tang royal family provided the innate conditions for Wu Zetian to hook up with Li Zhi. In this way, Wu Zetian became empress, which was expected.
After seizing the power of the government, Wu Zetian never forgot his original intention. After a series of drastic rectifications, the national population soared by 37.14 million. This should be put in the modern era, she must be a top human resource management master, and later she pioneered the temple trial system.
In order to absorb talents, Wu Zetian successively went to all parts of the country to select and select, and then used talents to select talents, bringing the entire Wu Dynasty into a strong and prosperous stage. The well-known divine detective Di Renjie was one of them, and he successively made great contributions to Wu Zetian.
Who ever thought that when Wu Zetian was dying, an old man in his 80s came to Wu Zetian's bedside and forced her to take a Zen position. At this time, Wu Zetian woke up and realized that Di Renjie was deceiving himself.
The Reward of the Detective
Wu Zetian was originally only a concubine of Li Shimin, and after Li Shimin's death, the former cut his hair and became a nun. At that time, Li Zhi and she were already in love with each other, and Wu Zetian seized the opportunity to give it a go, and finally in 655 AD, Emperor Gaozong of Tang recalled li zhi to the palace despite the opposition of his ministers.
In 660, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was too ill to take care of the affairs of the dynasty, and could only hand it over to Wu Zetian. How can you give up the hard-won opportunity? From this time on, Wu Zetian began to constantly co-opt the imperial ministers to prepare for the seizure of power.
In 690, Wu Zetian fixed the capital Luoyang and established WuZhou. At that time, there was a famous minister in the imperial court, Di Renjie, who was appreciated by Wu Zetian because of his outstanding ability. Later, as long as there were major political affairs in the DPRK, basically di Renjie had to be consulted and take opinions.
As he grew older, Wu Zetian had to ponder a question: Who would pass the throne to next? Who will hold the post of Auxiliary Minister? After discussion between the two, Di Renjie persuaded him to cede the world to Li Shi and recommended a minister named Zhang Kamzhi.
For the latter, Wu Zetian did not think much about it, because he was very relieved; for the former, Wu Zetian had a personal opinion in his heart. On the surface, he seemed to agree to Di Renjie's request, but in fact, behind his back, he was still passing on the descendants of the Wu clan.
Lost to Lee
Zhang Kamzhi is a more special person, when he was 70 years old, he won the title and began his personal career. Because of his old age, many people did not believe that he would achieve anything, and only Di Renjie appreciated him more. From this point on, he followed Wu Zetian's side.
The latter obeyed her orders, and Wu Zetian thought that he had a right and left arm, and who had thought that Zhang Kamzhi had become a rebel. Seeing that Wu Zetian's male favorite, the Zhang brothers, held great power in the government, Zhang Kamzhi immediately decided to eliminate the lives of these two people.
Unaware of this, the Zhang brothers were killed by one of Zhang Kam's men in the corridors of the palace. In order to ensure that nothing was lost, Zhang Kamzhi left some people to guard here, and he led other armies to force Wu Zetian to abdicate.
General Wang Tongjiao led his soldiers to meet the crown prince Li Xian, and asked him to restore the Li Tang royal family. When Zhang Kamzhi saw Wu Zetian, he said that "he saw the Zhang brothers rebelling, so he killed both." Wu Zetian replied, "Since the matter is handled, then please come back."
Zhang Kamzhi continued, "When Emperor Xian entrusted the Son of Heaven to you, it was because the crown prince was young, and now that the crown prince has grown up and you are old, can you return the throne to the crown prince again?" At this point, Wu Zetian had no choice but to do so, and then announced his abdication.
Write at the end
When Wu Zetian issued the edict of abdication, he was a little unwilling in his heart. Everyone in the palace was defensive, but they didn't expect the problem to appear on Zhang Kamzhi's body. Thinking that this was the candidate recommended by his confidant Di Renjie, Wu Zetian couldn't help but say to himself: "Di Renjie actually lied to me..."
In the view of Sou Gujun, this may be a "big game" that Di Renjie has already played. Even if he assisted Wu Zetian for more than ten years, he was still Li Tangjiangshan in his heart, and planning the aftermath was only to fulfill his wishes.
