Once, Yuan Tiangang passed by the door of Wu Zetian's house, and Wu Zetian was still swaddling. Yuan Tiangang said to Wu Zetian's mother, Yang Shi, "Madam, I see that you are very extraordinary, and you will definitely have a noble son in the future."
After Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Yang Shi was very happy. So he rushed to his home and let his mother hold Wu Zetian. After Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian, he thought he was a boy, so he pinched her fingers and calculated.
Only to see him silent for a while, and then said: "This dragon's eye and phoenix neck are the face of your extremes, but unfortunately he is a boy, if he is a woman, he will definitely become the lord of the world in the future."
When he was a child, Wu Zetian's family was originally a famous and prestigious family. Wu Zetian's mother, Yang Shiyi, had some relationship with Li Yuan. There are unpredictable storms in the sky.
When Wu Zetian was twelve, her father died of illness. The family suddenly lost its top pillar, and the life of Yang's mother and daughter became difficult, and later they went to Chang'an and lived a life under the fence.
Wu Zetian's cousin Yang Shidao, who was the prime minister at the time, had recommended Wu Zetian to Tang Taizong many times, and Tang Taizong's sister often chanted Wu Zetian's name in his ear.
It was under such an opportunity that Tang Taizong developed a strong interest in Wu Zetian, and when Wu Zetian was 13 years old, she was summoned to the imperial palace.
After Tang Taizong saw Wu Zetian, he liked it very much. Therefore, he sealed Wu Zetian as a wupincai person and gave him the name "Mei Niang". This is also the reason why Wu Zetian is called Wu Meiniang.
On the day Wu Zetian's mother received the holy will, she couldn't help but burst into tears at the thought that her daughter, who was dependent on her, was about to leave. When Wu Zetian saw her weeping mother, she comforted her: "Seeing the Son of Heaven, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, and I don't have to be sad for me."
Although Wu Zetian entered the palace, he was also very popular with Tang Taizong, but because of his young age. Tang Taizong didn't ask her much. When Wu Zetian really rose, it was during the period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
Wu Zetian is a very legendary woman, from concubines to female emperors, the middle has experienced a lot of role transformation, she from the original weak woman, can grow into a domineering queen, I believe that the process must be colorful...
