Late one night, Wu Zetian invited the imperial doctor Shen Nanxuan, and Shen Nanxuan's hand just caught her pulse, and she said softly: Stay with her tonight! Shen Nanxuan was paralyzed with fright. Wu Meiniang of Ganye Temple wrote "open the box to check the pomegranate skirt" for Li Zhi, but there was really a man who died under her pomegranate skirt! This person is Shen Nanxuan.
Wu Zetian, who became an empress of a generation, the two most well-known men around him must be Xue Huaiyi and Shen Nanxuan, one for love madness, one for love.
It is worth playing that if this man fights for the wind and jealousy, he is really more violent than the woman's vinegar jar.
Xue Huaiyi was originally a man who sold wild medicines, his original name was Feng Xiaobao, but this person had a great body, looked like a talented person, and could speak the Tao, and soon got along with the maid of the rich family, and the owner of this maid was Princess Qianjin, the daughter of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The maid was fascinated by Feng Xiaobao, and the medicine he sold was powerful and addictive, and the maid met with him every day. As a result, the paper wrapper could not hold the fire, and finally one day it was discovered by the princess.
The princess found that such a bad customs and customs had appeared in her house, and she was naturally angry and corrupt, and she did not expect that Feng Xiaobao, with her three-inch tongue and a look of a man who was not bad and a woman did not love, actually made the princess have pity and left him behind.
The princess saw that he was large and strong, so she led him into the palace to formally recommend him to Wu Zetian, who appointed him as an attendant. Wu Meiniang and Feng Xiaobao slept together at night and night, indulging in the joy of clouds and rain. In order to make it convenient for Xue Huaiyi to enter and exit the palace, and because he was not from a scholar's family, he gave him the surname Xue and changed his name to Xue Huaiyi. He immediately asked him to join emperor Xue Shao, the husband of Princess Taiping, and let Xue Shao call him his uncle, which greatly increased Xue Huaiyi's status.
Judging from the records of the history books, Xue Huaiyi is not only the face of Wu Zetian, but also the lover of Princess Taiping, and can be said to be a male concubine shared by Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping's mother and daughter. Xue Huaiyi presided over the reconstruction of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and was successively promoted to the title of Grand General of Zuo Weiwei, Duke of Liang, Great General of Right Wei, and Duke of Eguo. He was arrogant, arrogant, rich and arrogant, and had many women.
As mentioned earlier, Xue Huaiyi himself changed his life against the heavens by virtue of his male favorite status; so after being made a duke, he not only no longer took the initiative to run to the palace, but even Wu Zetian sent people to invite him, and he also loved to ignore it.
Seeing that Xue Huaiyi was becoming more and more difficult to control, Wu Zetian was also annoyed and angry: Can you not be a man in the world?
So there was the opening scene.
At this moment, the handsome-looking Tai Doctor Shen Nanyan, because of his superb medical skills, became a special physician of Wu Zetian; and Wu Zetian also decided to let Shen Nanxuan fill the vacancy left by Xue Huaiyi.
However, after Wu Zetian made it clear, Shen Nanxuan felt that this was a whim of the empress, because he was afraid of the retaliation of Xue Huaiyi, the most popular male favorite of Wu Zetian, so he did not dare to agree.
It was not until he found out that Xue Huaiyi had fallen out of favor that his courage grew and he no longer refused to stay at night; not only that, but also used his position as an imperial doctor to often prepare some "divine dans" that Wu Zetian could not resist, so that he also became the most favored male favorite of Wu Zetian.
In 694, the annoyed Xue Huaiyi finally did something that he regretted. Love always makes people become blindly selfish and stupid, and Xue Huaiyi is like this. The out-of-favor Xue Huaiyi held a grudge in his heart and actually burned the Ming Hall with a fire. Therefore, after that, Wu Zetian found a suitable opportunity to beat Xue Huaiyi to death.
Although Shen Nanxuan was blessed, the good times were not long. As he grew older, Shen Nanxuan's body was worse than a day, even though there were a lot of tonics to eat every day, but every time he still hurriedly surrendered his weapons. At that time, Shen Nanmiao was already more than forty years old, tired enough to work during the day, prescribing medicine for the prince and nobleman's diagnosis, and going back to serve on time at night, a slight failure was a punishment, and after a few years, in fear, he finally died of exhaustion.
Wu Zetian's early favor of male pets, still limited to private life, in addition to causing many gossip, did not have much impact on the government, but in her later years things changed, because of the appearance of two brothers - Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi.
The two brothers were favored by Wu Zetian from 697 AD, and unlike the previous male favorites, these two were extremely politically ambitious. Compared with Xue Huaiyi's flying and stumbling, Shen Nanmiao's walking on thin ice, these two brothers are like fish in the water. Zhang Changzong is good at music rhythm, Zhang Yizhi is good at singing and dancing, and the brothers sing a harmony and coax Wu Zetian to be full of joy all day.
Since then, the two of them have begun to interfere in the politics of the dynasty, the first is to take bribes, sell officials into knighthood, and are very honest, characterized by collecting money and doing things. Once a person surnamed Yang paid a bribe to Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Yizhi's family forgot the name of this person, Zhang Yizhi did not say a word, and promoted all the surnames of Yang in the capital, but the corruption of the government was also aggravated.
In 705, Wu Zetian was dying, and the brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong served around and did not leave the empress. The Zhang brothers served Wu Zetian, and they falsely preached the holy will and did not allow the courtiers to visit, hoping to take this opportunity to control the government.
Who knows, the chancellor Zhang Kamzhi moved ahead of time, led his troops into the palace, and executed Zhang Yizhi's brother. Wu Zetian saw that the general trend was gone, and could only pass the throne to Li Xian in advance, and the Tang Dynasty was revived.
Wu Zetian is also a good male woman, and after she took power, she had a lot of male pets around her. However, among these men, the only people who can have the honor of celebrity history are Xue Huaiyi, Zhang Changzong, Zhang Yizhi, and Shen Nan.
Of course, although Wu Zetian was addicted to pleasure after taking power, she did not neglect the government. During her reign, the imperial court was reformed, the imperial examination system was improved, and the talented people in the world were able to serve the country, and the grand scene of "gentlemanly Manchu Dynasty" was realized. Under her wise and divine leadership, the world prospered again, and there was a scene of prosperity, so later generations called this period "Zhenguan Relic".
