Both Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping were able to serve as right-hand men under Wu Zetian. After Wu Zetian's death, she worked together, and it turned out that she actually parted ways for a man, and she and Li Longji cooperated to kill Shangguan Wan'er, but Li Longji felt Shangguan Wan'er's talent and never forgot her, but she constantly intensified her contradictions with Li Longji, and finally died at the hands of Li Longji.
Shangguan Wan'er was a native of Shaanzhou, and her grandfather Shangguan Yi was a famous courtier in the era of Emperor Taizong of Tang, who was later killed for rebelling against Wu Zetian, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was in infancy at the time, went into the harem with her mother, and was considered to be a family member of a criminal official who was in charge of criminal service, and was ruthlessly snubbed and enlisted.
In the predicament, Shangguan Wan'er read and read with the female officials in the palace, and at the age of fourteen, she was personally summoned by Wu Zetian, praised her next thousand words, left her around, served as some clerical work, and gradually participated in the preparation of edicts and final chapters.
Slowly, all the officials were looked at by her first, and they were signed, and Wu Zetian only needed to approve a word on it, and became the most authoritative woman besides Wu Zetian, at this time she was just a 19-year-old girl.
When her mother was pregnant with her, she dreamed that the gods sent a big scale, and Zhan Meng said that this foreshadowed that Shangguan Wan'er would hold great power to measure the world's major events, at that time, her family was a sinner's orphan son, no one believed it, and she could not imagine that it would come true, and for twenty-five years before and after Wu Zetian took power, Shangguan Wan'er always followed her side.
It is said that a wound on Shangguan Wan'er's forehead was when she flirted with Wu Zetian's male favorite Zhang Changzong, Wu Zetian was furious and slashed with a sword.
Later, Wu Zetian gave his nephew Wu Sansi to Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er was thirty-five years old this year, Shangguan Wan'er's favorite was still Li Yi among the kings of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi was in love with Wu Zetian's daughter Wu Xuanshuang, and the one who loved Shangguan Wan'er the most was Changsun Tai, and Changsun Tai's sister happened to be Li Yi's wife, these people were all friends and friends, in this kind of unspeakable! Don't say! So what! So what! In the midst of her predicament, Shangguan Wan'er wrote to Li Yi, who was far away in the Tianshan Mountains:
Yexia Dongting Qiu, Sijun Wanliyu;
The dew incense was cold, and the moon fell on the screen.
Want to play Jiangnan qu, covet the Jibei Book;
There is no other intention in the book, and I am sad to leave for a long time.
Princess Taiping was the biological daughter of Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian gave birth to four men and two daughters, killing, abolishing, exiled, and forbidden, but the youngest daughter, Princess Taiping, was deeply pleased by Wu Zetian, so she became a pivotal figure in the inner court and court of the deep palace.
Princess Taiping was beautiful and powerful, and her mentality and mode of conduct were very similar to those of her mother, Wu Zetian.
When Princess Taiping was sixteen years old, the King of Tubo had proposed marriage, and was prevaricating by Wu Zetian, and when she was twenty years old, she married the famous and noble prince Xue Shao, who was the third son of the Prince of Chengyang, and gave birth to a table of talents, and Princess Taiping was a cousin, and the two were in love, but unfortunately, Princess Taiping was poisoned, and within a few years she killed her husband, but soon after, Princess Taiping shook off her full of melancholy and sadness, and then put on a wedding dress, and became Wu Youji's wife by force.
The relationship between Princess Taiping and Wu Zetian, in addition to the status of mother and daughter, Princess Taiping also served as a secretary and a think tank, participating in the national politics related to the safety of the world, and Princess Taiping also meticulously sought male favors for her mother, such as Zhang Changzong. At this point, the relationship between Princess Taiping and Wu Zetian had long transcended the boundaries of mother and daughter and monarchy and entered the category of close friends.
Due to the mutiny of Zhang Kamzhi and other five ministers, Wu Zetian finally passed the throne to Emperor Zhongzong in his twilight years, and soon Wu Zetian fell ill and died, and the most powerful women in the Tang Palace were Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping.
Tang Zhongzong lived a life of upheaval and displacement, living a precarious life. She developed a weak personality of being afraid of wolves before and tigers later, and her empress Wei Hou was bent on learning the appearance of her mother-in-law Wu Zetian, colluding with her daughter Princess Anle in a vain attempt to control chaogang.
In this political context, Wu Sansi's wife Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Youji's wife, Princess Taiping, united against Empress Wei and Princess Anle for the common good. It was supposed to be a favorable political union, but a man made it quickly disintegrate.
This man is a beautiful teenager Cui Xiang in the style of an embroidered pillow, because Shangguan Wan'er's husband Wu Sansi is vulgar and wet all day long, so the lonely Shangguan Wan'er has completely pinned her wisps of infatuation on Cui Xiang, who met by chance, and since that day when she worked in the imperial study, it was difficult to give up every day.
Shangguan Wan when she was a child, cui xiang was summoned into the palace, she was seen by princess Taiping who had been in and out of the palace for a long time, although princess Taiping was slightly older in the palace, but although Xu Niang was old, the charm still existed, and she also had the personality of a mother, at that time, when she saw Cui Xiangyu's beautiful man, she already had intentions in her heart, and sent the palace maid to hide from the palace Wan'er to summon him to the palace.
Princess Taiping's desire is very big, although she still loves several princes at the same time, but she has to meet with Cui Xiang several times a day, and finally she is seen by Shangguan Wan'er. In one breath, he threw himself into Wei Hou's power map, and pulled Wu Sansi over, making a great contribution to Wei Hou.
Due to the addition of Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Sansi, Wei Hou's power increased greatly, completely emptying the authority of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and the crown prince Li Chongjun really could not see it, so he led an army to attack Wu Sansi Mansion and killed Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun's father and son.
Then he entered the palace and prepared to kill Wei Hou and Shangguan Wan'er again, and Shangguan Wan'er was in danger. Commanding the Janissaries to hold on to the danger, and then fei Wu sansi's old troops into the palace to escort and quell the mutiny of the crown prince, soon after this incident, Wei Hou's mother and daughter poisoned Tang Zhongzong, with King Wen Chongmao as the young emperor, and Empress Wei's mother and daughter controlling the government, Yiran was a recurrence of the situation of Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping, on the one hand, pretended to be a snake with them, on the one hand, as a generation of princesses, she restrained and slowed down the development of their power, and on the other hand, she secretly helped her nephew.
Li Long has basically been under the support of Yao Chong, Song Li and other famous ministers, and his wings are half-abundant, and now he has the support of Princess Taiping. In a mutiny, he killed Empress Wei's mother and daughter and Shangguan Wan'er, who took the throne.
Shangguan Wan'er died, but her literary achievements were handed down, and her poetry creation washed away the wind of the left side of the river, and the rules and regulations of the four or six couples since the Southern Dynasty, broke away from the remnants of the Six Dynasties, and changed the style of writing.
Rather than saying that it was Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan who opened the revival of ancient Literature, Wu Ning said that Shangguan Wan'er had already drawn a clear blueprint for the literary appearance of sheng Tang. Her poems also had a great enlightening effect on the brilliant development of Tang poetry.
In the Kaiyuan period, Tang Xuanzong remembered shangguan Wan'er's talent, ordered the collection of her poems, compiled into twenty volumes, Zhang said to write a preface for her: "Sensitive listening, exploring micro-mirror theory, opening the volume of Haina, like a former smell, shaking the pen and flying, into the same sujutsu structure." The ancients have a female history of meritorious deeds, a female Shangshu decision valve, Zhaorong (Shangguan Wan'er) two dynasties and beauty, a day and a thousand opportunities, consultants are not left behind, should be received as desired, although han called Ban Yuan, Jin honorary zuomi, the way of the article is not different, the merit of the auxiliary is different. ”
Here's a poem she wrote while traveling on Mount Li:
Three Qin season moon scenery dragon year, can take advantage of the wind out of the Bachuan;
Look at the electric switch golden horse leaping from afar, and the country looks at the frost plains and jade fields.
Hidden Mountains tower out of the clouds, and the imperial tent is open on the side of the day;
Years and years are often stationed, and long and happy to chengping.
This poem writes out her heartfelt wish, hoping to enjoy peace and peace, and there will be no more bloody killing scenes every year, but she has lived in Tianjin for a long time, especially she helped Wu Zetian to respect the Wu clan and suppress the royal family, and the Li Tang Royal Family will not easily let her go.
Princess Taiping made a great contribution to the removal of Wei Hou. During the reign of Wu Zetian, he had two sons as emperors, one was Emperor Zhongzong and the other was Ruizong, Li Longji was the son of Ruizong, and after Wei Hou was killed, Li Chongmao, the King of Wen, still sat on the dragon chair in a big way, Princess Taiping drove him down, and Li Longji first let his father have a transitional period of imperial pain.
Emperor Ruizong had great compassion for Princess Taiping, the imperial sister, and the imperial court consulted with her on all major matters, and the appointments below the prime minister were based on Princess Taiping's words, and the number of civil and military officials she introduced, who had the power to seek advancement, ran to her court day and night, and her mansion became the imperial palace behind the scenes.
She was pampered and spoiled, lived a luxurious life, and for many years she procured and transported goods on the road, and the geji maihime in her house was even better than that of the palace, and the horse ranch she opened in Longyou alone had more than 10,000 good horses.
Emperor Ruizong had six sons, and Li Longji was only the third eldest, but he was made crown prince for his meritorious efforts in killing Wei Hou's mother and daughter. In order to safeguard vested interests, of course, it is hoped that Tang Ruizong's throne will be maintained for as long as possible, but Li Dan has always been calm and self-sufficient, and he wants to pass the throne to the prince at both ends in three days, if the prince is a person with a nest, it is just a matter of li longji, but Li Longji is heroic and courageous, so she repeatedly said bad things about Li Longji in front of Ruizong, hoping to depose the prince, and as a result, Tang Ruizong set up Li Longji to oversee the country, and Princess Taiping saw that the slander could not be achieved, and simply broke the boat, summoned the courtiers on behalf of the emperor, and signaled to replace the prince. Resisted by the decent ministers represented by Song Jing, it was self-defeating, and although Tang Ruizong let her go with the love of his brothers and sisters, Li Longji remembered it in his heart.
When Li Longji ascended to the throne, the contradictions had become white-hot, and at this time, Tang Xuanzong was in power, and on the grounds that Princess Taiping was trying to kill the emperor, he arrested Princess Taiping's henchmen, and then ordered Wang Mao Zhonghe to go and arrest Princess Taiping and give her death at home, and her relatives were also cursed.
