Wu Zetian was pregnant and could not sleep, and when she saw her sister climb onto the dragon bed, she smiled and said six words
For thousands of years, the scene of the emperor's harem competing for favors is not uncommon, in the backyard of the deep palace where I am deceitful, three thousand beautiful ladies make every effort to compete for the same husband, and if the favor is successful, you can enjoy the glory and wealth, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
The women were blinded by the glorious life of the glamorous glory, and even Wu Zetian's own sister had undeserved thoughts, and climbed into the emperor's dragon bed when Wu Zetian was pregnant and could not sleep. After Wu Zetian saw it, he only said six words, but he buried his sister's life.
Harem pet concubine
"Husband and son" and "a woman without talent is virtuous" are the inherent views of the ancients on women, and in their thinking, women should revolve around their families. The emergence of Wu Zetian has, to a certain extent, broken the tradition of women's low status and inability to enter the army.
Wu Zetian was born in a family of eunuchs and was known for his appearance at a young age. Emperor Li Shimin, who was driving the Luoyang Palace at the time, heard that Wu Zetian, who was only 14 years old, had a good appearance and a dignified demeanor, so he included her in the harem.
The title of "Beautiful Lady" began to be well known, and everyone in the samurai family expected her to receive the emperor's favor and lead the samurai to a new level.
But unfortunately, in the 12 years since entering the palace, Wu Meiniang's harem life has always been plain, and the emperor is old and unable to give more grace.
Until Emperor Taizong's death, Wu Zetian was unable to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and could only go to the Ganye Temple to become a nun. The days in the temple were too poor, and how could the concubines who had enjoyed the glory and wealth endure a lifetime.
Fortunately, Li Zhi would go to the Ganye Temple every year to worship Tang Taizong, and Wu Zetian seized the opportunity to turn over, trapped Li Zhi only, and successfully returned to the palace himself. There were many beauties in the harem, but Wu Zetian was favored by Emperor Gaozong.
Emperor Gaozong had no intention of doing political affairs, and it just so happened that Wu Zetian was quite capable, not only able to approve the recital, but also to give practical solutions.
Privately, Wu Zetian became Gaozong's "stand-in" and helped him handle the affairs of the court, while Gaozong became increasingly addicted.
The closer she got to the center of state power, the more Wu Zetian realized the importance of power and status, and although she was a woman, she was not willing to submit to others, nor did she think that Tang Gaozong could lead the Tang imperial family to the next prosperous world.
In order to pave the way for himself, Wu Zetian used cruel means to get rid of the empress of the mother's world, eliminated the family members who might rebel, and also eliminated all suspicious forces in the court. In the emperor's harem, Wu Zetian was alone, and Emperor Gaozong's favor was continuous.
Six-word warning
When Wu Zetian was pregnant, In order to soothe her emotions, Li Zhi often took her to play and allowed the martial family to come to visit.
Pregnant women are particularly sensitive to emotions, especially in the harem, and Wu Zetian must also be wary of people with ill intentions.
In difficult times, the family has become the only pillar, and even Wu Zetian, who is tough in means, covets the warmth of his family. Wu Zetian had an elder sister named Wu Shun, who became a widow at a young age, with her young daughter by her side.
Wu Zetian invited his sister to accompany him in the palace, and when he was bored, he could also accompany himself to talk about himself. All along, Wu Zetian had no defense against his sister in the family, but who ever wanted to let his sister exploit the loophole and become his competitor.
Pregnant in October, the process is extremely long, pregnant women also need to pay attention to it at all times. In order to protect the child in his belly, Wu Zetian and Gaozong Li Zhi slept alone in separate rooms, which created good conditions for his sister.
Wu Zetian was beautiful since childhood, and her own sister was also quite beautiful, and Gaozong, who coveted beauty, saw the enchanting Wu Shun and thought of a concubine again. Taking advantage of the fact that Wu Zetian was pregnant and unable to sleep, Emperor Gaozong and Wu Shun mixed together.
When Wu Zetian opened the door, he saw his own sister's clothes were disheveled, and she came out of the emperor's palace, and her heart was immediately furious.
But she couldn't lose her manners in front of the Son of Heaven, nor could she let people grasp the handle of her misbehaving, so she put up with it for the time being.
Her sister Wu Shun was still immersed in her own happiness, fantasizing that she could become the emperor's concubine, and from then on the sparrow turned into a phoenix, and when she went out, she met her sister Wu Zetian.
Wu Shun was ashamed in his heart and afraid of Wu Zetian's means, but the incident had already happened, and it was too late to repent at this time.
Walking in front of his sister, Wu Zetian's face did not appear an angry expression, but a smile. The palace people only saw the friendship between the sisters, but they did not know that Wu Zetian said 6 words to his own sister, that is, "You are not far from death."
With the most gentle expression to say the most cruel words, Wu Zetian's actions made his sister Wu Shun's heart plummet.
Wu Shun stayed uneasy for a while, and Wu Zetian just forbade himself to step into the empress, but did not make any further moves, as if he had forgotten about it.
Considering that she was wu Zetian's sister who got along day and night, and her past sister was more intimate with herself, the uneasiness in Wu Shun's heart was also alleviated. The so-called mother must have his daughter, and he could not enter the palace, so Wu sent his daughter to the emperor's side.
The end is miserable
Since ancient times, there have been many things in which the two sisters have served each other together, especially in the backyard of the palace, people with a slight posture want to climb up, and things that do not fit in with each other have occurred from time to time. At this time, although Wu Zetian was completely disappointed in his sister, the most important thing was not here.
At this time, although Wu Zetian's status was high, he still had to be jealous of the majesty of the empress, and the power in his hands was not large enough. In order to get rid of the empress, Wu Zetian chose to temporarily forgive his sister's mistakes, and the martial family was as usual.
In 655, Wu Zetian became empress as he wished, and the samurai family received the emperor's reward, and her sister Wu Shun was also named a Lady of Korea.
Seeing that the status of the martial family was getting higher and higher, Wu Zetian was dissatisfied, so he aimed his spearhead at the heirs of the martial family and his own sister.
In 665, Wu Shun disappeared silently, and there were no more Korean ladies in the emperor's harem. Everyone speculated that Wu Shun's disappearance was related to Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian's power was monstrous, and even if the people were dissatisfied with her, they did not dare to confront her face to face.
After getting rid of Wu Shun, Wu Zetian turned his attention to his niece Helan Minyue, who had entered the palace as a concubine. As Wu Shun's daughter, Helan Minyue not only entered the palace to compete for favors, but also increasingly threatened Wu Zetian's position.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Gaozong of Tang to seal Mount Taishan, Wu Zetian threw poison into the food brought by the martial brothers and brought it to Helan Minyue. Helan Minyue died of food poisoning, and the samurai brothers were also beheaded and condemned.
