Wu Zetian dreamed of a large parrot and wanted to flap its wings and fly high, but both wings were broken, and it fell down with a thud. After Wu Zetian woke up from the dream, he felt strange and hurriedly summoned Di Renjie into the palace to interpret the dream. Di Renjie's clever move, secretly thinking that the opportunity had come, he played a word-breaking game with Wu Zetian.
Shi Zai: "The great parrot of dreams has both wings folded, why not?" "Warrior, your majesty's surname, two wings, two sons also." His Majesty has two sons, and the two wings are vibrating. ”
Di Renjie said: The word is taken apart to have a Wu Zetian Wu, alluding to Wu Zetian, and the two broken wings allude to Li Xian and Li Dan, sons who were exiled by Wu Zetian. If the parrot wants to spread its wings and fly high, it must use Li Xian and Li Dan. Is Di Renjie interpreting dreams? It seems to be, but it is not.
Di Renjie is good at judging cases, full of wisdom, and has a great strategy for the country, and such a figure generally does not study the metaphysics of gossip and dream interpretation, and their minds are on the jiangshan society and the people's livelihood. Therefore, Di Renjie only used the interpretation of dreams to achieve his goal of persuading Wu Zetian to return to Li Tang. Liu Bowen also did this kind of thing, and also used to interpret dreams to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to reduce the killing and give grace to the people.
At that time, in order to control the government and realize his dream of being an emperor, Wu Zetian did not hesitate to depose Li Xian and imprison Li Dan. Unexpectedly, after the praying mantis catches the yellow bird, Wu Zetian is called emperor, and his nephews Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi vigorously encourage Wu Zetian to be called emperor, and strive to create a momentum for Wu Zetian to be called emperor.
In order to create Wu Zetian's title of emperor as "Providence", Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi secretly let people chisel the eight characters of "Our Lady of The Coming, Yongchang Emperor" on a white stone, decorated it with "Purple Stone Miscellaneous Medicines", and then let people offer it to Wu Zetian. After Wu Zetian got this "Immortal Stone", the Wu family vigorously advocated that this was "Providence", and Providence made Wu Zetian emperor.
Wu Zetian, instigated and worked hard by his mother's family, finally became emperor at the age of 67, changed Tang to Zhou, and established Wu Zhou. Wu Zetian was called empress dowager, and Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were happy, because this was the first step in their premeditation to become emperor. The two brothers premeditated to make Wu Zetian emperor first, and then persuade Wu Zetian to pass the throne to him.
Before Wu Zetian became emperor, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi persuaded Wu Zetian to "go to the descendants of the Tang family and accuse the ministers of not attaching them." In fact, this is the brothers borrowing the hand of Wu Zetian to remove the stumbling block to their future title of emperor. After Wu Zetian was proclaimed empress, the two brothers and Wu Zetian's mother's family persuaded Wu Zetian to pass the throne to his mother's family on the grounds that "there has been no one with a different surname since ancient times" to pass the throne to his mother's family.
Under the repeated persuasion of his mother's family, Wu Zetian felt that "since ancient times, tianzi has not had a person with a different surname as an heir", and he wanted to establish Wu Sansi or Wu Chengsi as the crown prince. Although Wu Zetian changed the Tang Dynasty to Wu Zhou, most of the courtiers were the sons and grandsons of the old ministers who fought with Li Shimin in the past, who were loyal to Li Tang and insisted on making Li's descendants the crown prince.
Di Renjie was no exception, and before that, he persuaded Wu Zetian: "I see that everyone in the world still misses Tang Dynasty Ende, and if prince Ruoli is crown prince, it is not king Of Luling (Li Xian, that is, Tang Zhongzong). At this time, Wu Zetian was infused with ecstasy soup by his mother's family, and he always wanted to make Wu Think twice as the prince, so he was very angry after listening to Di Renjie's persuasion. In addition to Di Renjie, there were many ministers, and even risked their lives to insist on making Li Tang's descendants crown princes, but Wu Zetian did not listen.
Elder Di Renjie was a wise and flexible man, and even if he paid for his life when he saw the chancellor, it would be difficult to change Wu Zetian's idea of making his nephew the crown prince. He threw in his favor, seized the superstitious characteristics of Wu Zetian's later years, and took the opportunity to interpret Wu Zetian's dreams to design and persuade Wu Zetian to revive Li Xian and Li Dan.
After Di Renjie finished solving the dream, he took the opportunity to stir up emotions and said with tears: "Emperor Taizong took the wind and rain and personally risked the stone, so that he could calm the world and pass it on to his descendants." The former emperor entrusted the second son to His Majesty, is It now necessary for His Majesty to hand over the world to a foreign surname?
Moreover, Your Majesty, if you think about it, which is closer to the relationship between aunt and nephew and mother and son? If Your Majesty has made his son the Crown Prince, after a long life, you can enjoy the Taimiao Temple. But the subject has never heard that there is a nephew who makes his aunt worthy of the ZongMiao Temple? ”
When Wu Zetian heard it, he thought that what Di Renjie said was indeed reasonable, but his psychology could not accept it for a while. Wu Zetian always felt that his surname was Wu, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were also surnamed Wu, and if he let Li Xian and Li Dan be crown princes, he thought that the Wu Zhou Tianxia that he had so hard to get became Li Tang Tianxia again, and he was psychologically uncomfortable.
Wu Zetian then changed the subject and said to Di Renjie, "This is a family affair, and it is not appropriate for you to interfere." ”
When Di Renjie saw that Wu Zetian had reduced the matter of establishing the crown prince to a family affair, he knew that Wu Zetian's attitude had loosened, so he indignantly retorted: "The king is home in all parts of the world, and the affairs of the whole world are the family affairs of His Majesty." You are the Fuehrer, your subordinates are limbs, like a whole, and I am still the Prime Minister, how can I leave it alone? ”
Di Renjie is worthy of being a master of communication, so he not only flatters and elevates Wu Zetian, but also uses the metaphor of "fuehrer and limbs" to bring the relationship between the monarch and the subject closer. Wu Zetian gradually woke up under the repeated attacks of Di Renjie's affection, reason, and dream interpretation, and immediately sent emissaries to take Li Xian back to Luoyang and make him crown prince.
