When it comes to Tang Xuanzong, people will relish his love affair with Yang Guifei.

As everyone knows, before Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong's favorite woman had someone else, and her degree of favor was even worse than Yang Guifei's, and this woman was Wu Huifei.

She accompanied Tang Xuanzong for more than 20 years, witnessing the prosperity and brilliance of the entire Kaiyuan prosperous world;

She was the first concubine in history, and Tang Xuanzong specially created such an unprecedented title for her;

After her death, she was posthumously honored as "Empress Zhenshun", and Tang Xuanzong often stood alone in front of the palace where she lived before her death, silent.

However, because the love story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei was too vigorous and respirant, Wu Huifei was gradually submerged in the smoke and dust of history and was forgotten by people.

In fact, the story of Wu Huifei is no less than that of Yang Guifei, and her influence on the court is no less than that of Yang Guifei, she is shrewd and capable, can be good at decision-making, and is a woman who is very different from Yang Guifei.

Unfortunately, her life, because of too much effort, finally ended in a dismal end.

Seeking the back seat, the bamboo basket hit the water empty

Concubine Wu was the daughter of Wu Zetian's cousin Wu Youzhi, who lost her father at a young age and was sent to the palace to be raised by her aunt Wu Zetian, and after the fall of the Wuzhou Dynasty, she was reduced to a small palace girl.

When Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, Concubine Wu Huifei was already fifteen or sixteen years old, and she completely inherited the beauty and temperament of the Wu family, standing tall and bright, bright and moving, which immediately attracted the attention of Tang Xuanzong.

Coupled with Concubine Wu's well-behaved temperament and sharp tongue, she soon won the favor of Xuanzong and enjoyed exclusive favors.

She and Tang Xuanzong jointly conceived seven children, four men and three women, and when Concubine Wu Hui was favored, Tang Xuanzong's harem seemed to be her alone, and the other concubines were all eclipsed.

She could have become Yang Guifei: how did the desire to control destroy love?

The pampered and arrogant Concubine Wu Huifei gradually did not want to be subordinate to the empress, and the idea of becoming an empress came up.

At that time, Empress Wang and Xuanzong were married, and the two suffered together, she accompanied Xuanzong in planning a coup d'état, fought with Princess Taiping, fought the world together, and was Xuanzong's right-hand man.

The husband and wife of suffering are deeply affectionate, and this empress wang still has a certain weight in Xuanzong's heart.

It was difficult for Concubine Wu huifei to shake the empress's seat.

But Wu Huifei is also like her aunt Wu Zetian, who is not afraid of difficulties, as long as she wants to do what she wants to do, there is no opportunity to create opportunities to do it.

Seizing the opportunity, she blew a pillow wind to Tang Xuanzong, saying how the empress had insulted her and crying in front of Xuanzong.

Over time, Tang Xuanzong thought that the empress was jealous and became more and more dissatisfied with the empress.

And the fire that eventually led to the queen's dethronement was a victory event.

The queen had a fatal weakness and was childless under her knees.

She listened to a monk and found a piece of thunderbolt wood that had been done with the words Heaven and Earth and The name of Tang Xuanzong, saying that if she read the mantra, she would be able to give birth to a son.

As a result, she sacrificed the first day, and the next day someone reported it to Tang Xuanzong.

The empress was tired of winning, and the people stole and stolen, and soon, the queen was deposed, beaten into the cold palace, and soon died of depression.

She could have become Yang Guifei: how did the desire to control destroy love?

After the overthrow of Empress Wang, Concubine Wu's rear seat seemed to be within reach.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.

As soon as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang proposed to appoint Concubine Wu Huifei, he was immediately opposed by the court ministers.

Wu Zetian is the nightmare of the Li Tang royal family, and if the people of the Wu family become empresses again, is it because they want to make a second Wu Zetian?

There are princes in the dynasty, and Concubine Wu Huifei has her own sons, and once she becomes empress, the position of prince will certainly be unstable, so do you want to cause turmoil in the korean situation?

After analyzing the pros and cons and thinking about it, Tang Xuanzong finally gave up Liwu Huifei as the queen, but did not treat her badly, and her courtesy in the palace was the same as that of the empress.

In this way, Empress Wang was deposed, but Concubine Wu Huifei was not able to become empress as she wished.

There is no mistake in having ambition and desire, but what is wrong is that they are blinded by ambition and greed, they cannot see the situation around them clearly, they cannot put themselves in the right position, and they cannot enjoy the happiness they already have.

Truly powerful women know how to balance themselves between desire and reality and sharpen themselves.

Planning a coup d'état, using too much force to go crazy

She did not become an empress herself, and the unwilling Concubine Wu Hui began to plan to make her son the crown prince.

Wu Huifei's first three sons all unfortunately died prematurely, and when she reached the fourth son, she gave it to others to raise until she was seven years old before she took it back, that is, Li Mao, the King of Shou, and Wu Huifei naturally loved this son.

In order to make her son the crown prince, Concubine Wu Huifei did not bother to think about it.

She could have become Yang Guifei: how did the desire to control destroy love?

In the former dynasty, she colluded with Li Linfu to win the power of the DPRK for her; in the harem, she laid eyeliner everywhere to inquire about the news of the prince in order to catch the prince's handle.

Finally, the opportunity came.

It was reported that the crown prince Li Ying and his two younger brothers, Li Yao the Prince of E, and Li Ju the Prince of Guang, were very close, and they often said bad things about Concubine Wu together in an attempt to murder Concubine Hui.

Wu Huifei seized this opportunity and cried in front of Tang Xuanzong and said, "The crown prince and the two princes have formed a party, saying that the concubines have taken away their mother's favor and want to kill the concubines and mothers and children. ”

The mother's color is faded, the son loves to relax, the father and son of the royal family, and also the monarch.

And as soon as he heard of the formation of the party, Xuanzong's suspicions became heavy, and the next day he went to the court to discuss the matter of deposing the prince.

Because The Chief Chancellor, Zhang Jiuling, was firmly opposed, the matter of deposing the crown prince was set aside.

But Concubine Wu Huifei was not discouraged, and she did not succeed once, and continued to work hard.

She colluded with Li Linfu to attack Zhang Jiuling, causing Zhang Jiuling to resign, and the day after Zhang Jiuling left the capital, Tang Xuanzong summoned his ministers to discuss the abolition of the crown prince.

This time, the prince was doomed.

Concubine Wu Huifei sent people to falsely convey Li Longji's will to the crown prince and the king of E and guang: there were bandits in the inner palace, and they quickly wore armor to lead troops into the palace to escort them.

After learning of the crown prince's promise, Concubine Wu Huifei immediately informed Tang Xuanzong that the crown prince had colluded with the second king to rebel, and they had entered the palace with arms.

Tang Xuanzong was greatly enraged, and as soon as he found out that the situation was true, he immediately controlled the three of them.

Soon, the Three Kings were deposed as Shuren, and fifteen days later, they were given to die in a post station east of Chang'an City.

Tang Xuanzong killed his three sons in one day, resulting in a human tragedy that made posterity feel painful.

Concubine Wu carefully planned a palace coup d'état to overthrow the crown prince, and it was logical that her son should naturally become the crown prince.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as heavenly calculations, at the critical moment, Wu Huifei fell ill, and all day long she felt that the ghosts of these three brothers were not scattered around her, and she asked for her life, causing the chickens and dogs in the palace to be restless, and eventually went insane, and died without suffering from the cruel winter.

Wu Huifei was only 38 years old at the time of her death, only seven months after the unjust death of the "Three Shuren".

She could have become Yang Guifei: how did the desire to control destroy love?

As soon as Concubine Wu Huifei died, Tang Xuanzong's blinded eyes suddenly opened, and the death of the prince was not unrelated to Wu Huifei's conspiracy to frame her, and how to block The mouth of Youyou if li Mao, the prince of Shou, was made the prince of Wu Huifei.

Finally, according to the suggestions of the ministers, according to the practice of promoting the elder and the young in an orderly manner, Li Heng, the third son of the emperor, was made crown prince.

Wu Huifei exhausted her means and took her life, but let Li Heng pick up a bargain.

The clouds of the ancients, the life of man, the benefits cannot be occupied, the blessings cannot be enjoyed, and the potential cannot be exhausted. If the benefits, blessings, and potentials are exhausted, then disaster will surely come to you.

A good life is a certain degree of flexibility, know how to relax and have a degree, and stop at the right time.

A life that works too hard is a disaster.

Pick your daughter-in-law and make a wedding dress for others

The Wu Huifei period was the most prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

As the most powerful woman in the harem, she must be carefully selected for the most beloved son, and the door, appearance, temperament, and talent cannot be worse.

The woman who can be favored by Concubine Wu Huifei will also be the crown of flowers and the leader among people.

At the wedding of her daughter Princess Xianyi, she took a fancy to a beautiful and noble woman.

She came from the Hongnong Yang clan of the family, and her good looks and graceful demeanor made her particularly outstanding in the beauty pile, Li Mao fell in love with her at first sight, and Concubine Wu Huifei was also quite satisfied with her.

With Tang Xuanzong's consent, he soon promised her to Li Mao and made her Princess Shou.

It was just that Concubine Wu Huifei did not dream that her carefully selected daughter-in-law would actually take her place in the future and become the famous Yang Guifei later.

She could have become Yang Guifei: how did the desire to control destroy love?

Wu Huifei accompanied Tang Xuanzong for more than twenty years and almost became an indispensable part of his life.

After Wu Huifei's death, Tang Xuanzong was once mentally weak, much older, and often missed Concubine Hui, and was devastated.

In order to avoid seeing things and thinking about people, he even drove all the palace ladies around Concubine Hui out of the palace.

In the three years after Wu Huifei's death, no other woman could enter his eyes.

Until in the smoke-filled hot spring of Lishan Mountain, he saw his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan after the bath, his skin was like gelatin, soft and moving, and he once again experienced the feeling of heartbeat.

He first thought that his mother Empress Dou was blessed, and let Yang Yuhuan become a female Taoist priest, but within a few years, he was taken into the palace and named a noble concubine.

Since then, there have been three thousand harem beauties, and three thousand pets have been in one. Yang Guifei replaced Concubine Wu huifei and became Tang Xuanzong's favorite woman.

I just don't know how Concubine Wu Hui will feel if she knows it.

Painstakingly choosing a daughter-in-law, he actually chose a successor for himself.

After her death, she and Tang Xuanzong staged a love story that has been sung to this day.

A good life requires effort, but not too hard.

She could have become Yang Guifei: how did the desire to control destroy love?

If Concubine Wu didn't work so hard, with her degree of favor, her son Li Mao would not end up with the fate of his mother's dead father taking over his wife.

The good things in the world are not firm, and the clouds are easy to scatter and shatter.

Sometimes, too much force may backfire and get farther and farther away from what we want.

Throughout Wu Huifei's life, it was really the organs that calculated too cleverly and mistook Qingqing's life.

Twenty years of camping, in the end, it was all in vain, making wedding clothes for others.

Because of the framing of the three princes, later, Tang Suzong abolished her empress shrine, and Tang Dynasty Emperor abolished her empress title.

From nothing, back to nothing.

She could have become Yang Guifei: how did the desire to control destroy love?

Because she exerts too much force, she will stop at nothing to frame others;

Because of too much force, she lost her health and ruined her mentality;

Because she exerted too much force, she was insulted and spurned.

Everything has a degree, and it can be stopped in moderation and cannot be forced.

I once read a sentence: "People who really live elegantly, at any time, have the courage to move forward a foot, and also have the calmness to step back a foot." ”

Those who live casually and calmly can really laugh to the end.

For the rest of your life, may you have the wisdom to forge ahead, but also the freedom to give in.
