#Film and television miscellaneous talk #Tang Gaozong Li Zhi harem there are many beautiful women, the more important women, that is, Empress Wang, Xiao Shufei and Wu Zetian. The struggle of these three women finally ended with Wu Zetian's complete victory, and in this whole process, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi favored whom, presumably everyone can also see at a glance.
Empress Wang was Li Zhi's yuan wife, a woman who had come all the way with Li Zhi, and even if she was, Li Zhi was not wrong. As for Xiao Shufei, because she was not Wu Zetian's opponent, when she was tortured and died tragically by Wu Zetian, didn't Li Zhi also turn a blind eye?
Wu Zetian was originally Li Shimin's Wupincai, serving the former emperor for 12 years, after Li Shimin's death, Wu Zetian was sent to the Ganye Temple and became a nun, if there is no accident, she will spend the rest of her life here, but a year later, Li Zhi went to the Ganye Temple to incense, met Wu Zetian, a year of time, did not dilute each other's feelings, because this time met, Wu Zetian returned to the palace again.
Wu Zetian entered the palace as Li Shimin's concubine, and theoretically she should be the elder of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, who according to the current name, Li Zhi had to call her little mother. However, Li Zhi was very fond of Wu Zetian, and regardless of ethics and public opinion, he set Up Wu Zetian as a Zhaoyi in the face of gossip.
Wu Zetian was four years older than Li Zhi, and had also been a concubine of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, and his status was very different, so why was Li Zhi so infatuated with Wu Zetian?
Here are a few things to see:
The first aspect, Wu Zetian is beautiful. Wu Zetian is beautiful, which is a fact recognized by everyone. However, this beauty is not enough to spoil the sixth palace, just like When Li Shimin was alive, he did not exclusively favor Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian was only a small talent. Harem beauty three thousand, that is beautiful as a flower, so beauty here, is Wu Zetian's stepping stone into the center of power, not a pass for her to smooth all the way.
In the second aspect, Li Zhi relied on Wu Zetian's talents. Wu Zetian's real pass to be able to go all the way is her political talent. Because When Li Shimin was alive, he would let Wu Zetian read the recitals and deal with simple things, and over the years, Wu Zetian's actual operational experience was actually more than Li Zhi's. Therefore, when Li Zhi first arrived, he still relied on Wu Zetian's experience. This ability is irreplaceable by other beautiful women in the harem.
The third aspect, in the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, can be described as attachment. Li Zhi would not be attached to any of the ministers, which would inevitably lead to the phenomenon of one side dominating, and his somewhat weak personality contrasted with Wu Zetian's strength. Wu Zetian was very decisive and capable, and Li Zhi used to seek help from Wu Zetian when he came and went, and slowly Li Zhi could not leave Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian became the real ruler of the Tang Dynasty. Unlike others, she has an untamed wild nature, smart and cunning, bold, and has ambitions, so she is also the easiest to conquer Li Zhi, who has a weak personality.
The above is the reason why I have a special favor for Wu Zetian, in fact, Wu Zetian's beauty is more substitutionary, but Wu Zetian's ability to deal with things and actual combat experience, which is what Li Zhi lacks. So the two complement each other, even if they are put into modern times, they can earn money to support their families and a beautiful wife, which man does not want it?
