The existence of Shangguan Wan'er's tomb has caused a wave of enthusiasm in society, but what people don't know is that the shangguan wan'er tomb was found as early as 2013, but experts at the place where it was found concluded that this tomb has been stolen, and it is also officially committed!
Is there any untold secret in this!? Today we will talk about this strange woman who is known as the "Prime Minister".
Many people think that Shangguan Wan'er only exists in novels, wild histories and games. As everyone knows, Shangguan Wan'er in history, her life is fateful, even if she is talented, she cannot escape the whirlpool of power, and finally only ends up with a fragrant death.
In 2013, when the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Research Institute was conducting archaeological exploration for the construction land of the South Avenue project in the Airport New City Park of Xixian New Area, a Tang Dynasty tomb was found here. In August of the same year, the institute immediately decided to excavate the tomb.
Wan'er Tomb
In the subsequent excavation process, it was found that the tomb was greatly damaged, and as the excavation work began, researchers became more and more certain that the identity of the owner of the tomb was not ordinary. Because from the perspective of the degree of destruction of the tomb, this is an organized and premeditated act of sabotage, which cannot be done by ordinary tomb robbers, and it is likely to be an "official action". Just like sun dianying, Cao Cao and other official organizations.
Later, the staff found an unspoiled epitaph in the corridor of the tomb. The epitaph cover is titled "Tang Dynasty Zhaorong Shangguan Clan Inscription", it turns out that this is the tomb of Shangguan Wan'er!
Before the tomb was discovered, Shangguan Wan'er had been like a fog in the long river of history. So will the discovery of the tomb here solve the mystery that has plagued the millennium?
Tragic life
Speaking of Shangguan Wan'er, I have to mention Wu Zetian. After all, with the broadcast of various film and television dramas, Shangguan Wan'er has always appeared as a female official around Wu Hou. And how did she get close to Takego's side?
According to the epitaph, Shangguan Wan'er is a native of Tianshui, Gansu, and in terms of family background, she is definitely a famous queen. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Shangguan clan was a Hao clan, and his grandfather Shangguan Xianguan worshiped Youzhou Taishou, and his grandfather Shangguan Yi was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. How can such a prominent life be said to be miserable?
Shangguan Wan'er relationship spectrum
During the reign of the Sui Dynasty Emperor, it can be said that the people did not have a good life. It was also under the tyranny of the Sui Emperor that there were uprisings in various places, and the Shangguan clan began to join in the fun at this time, and Shangguan Yi(Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather) father Shangguan Hong, who was not a master of peace, was killed because of his involvement in Yu culture and chaos. Shangguan Yi was hidden in a temple, disguised as a monk, and escaped the disaster.
Until later, Li Yuan's father and son led a peasant rebel army to overthrow the Sui Dynasty and establish the Tang Dynasty. Shangguan Yi finally no longer had to live in anonymity.
It is also the encounter of childhood that makes Shangguan Yi have a mind and perseverance that far exceeds that of his peers, and the literary style is also flourishing day by day. Later, within a radius of tens of miles, the name of Shangguan Yi's talented son was known to everyone; no one knew it. No matter how big the folk name is, what is the use, can occupy a place in the imperial examination is the real talent.
Although Shangguan Yi was no longer young at this time, he was not afraid at all. Among the thousands of students, Shangguan Yi stood out and directly took the third place in the country. Emperor Taizong personally ordered him to become a Hongbunkan zhishi.
Wu Zetian
At this time, Shangguan Yi's literary style was of use, and Tang Taizong also treated this person differently, and soon promoted him to his "confidential secretary" to proofread the poems for himself, not only that, Tang Taizong had to hand-pick Shangguan Yi as a companion every time he feasted on his courtiers.
After the bumpy first half of his life, the Shangguan Yi finally came to run, and this promotion was like riding a small rocket, all the way to the top. Talent is good, not only Tang Taizong looked at him differently, but even Tang Gaozong favored him, directly promoted to the third level, first as a secretary and a young supervisor, then as a Xitai waiter, and finally directly to the chancellor!
It can be seen from this that Shangguan Yi is also deeply rooted in the Sacred Heart, and it is this Sacred Heart that has brought him the calamity of killing, so much so that it has harmed the entire Shangguan family.
We all know that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Wu Zetian could not hide his ambitions. When Tang Gaozong was unwell, he would let Wu Zetian handle government affairs on his behalf, and wouldn't this come to the pillow when he was sleepy? It was at this time that Wu Zetian slowly cultivated his own power.
No one who could become emperor was a fool, and Tang Gaozong more or less felt that something was wrong, so he began to find ways to depose Wu Zetian, the empress.
Coincidentally, in the winter of this year, Wu Zetian practiced the "art of victory" in the imperial palace, and when Tang Gaozong heard the news, he wanted to depose the empress more and more. So Emperor Gaozong of Tang summoned Shangguan Yi to discuss this matter, which was indeed a major event in ancient times, and if it were placed in modern times, it would be just family disharmony. Shangguan Yi had underestimated the position of Wu Zetian in Tang Gaozong's heart, and it was also possible that he was indeed the lord of the food and the worry of the king.
Wu Zetian, Emperor Gaozong of Tang
When Shangguan Yi heard about this, he said: Then it will be abolished! Emperor Gaozong of Tang also had this intention, so he asked Shangguan Yi to draft an edict. Who knew that the edict had not yet been promulgated, and Wu Zetian had already received the news and ran to Tang Gaozong to cry and complain.
This disturbance can be regarded as a misery to Shangguan Yi. Although Tang Gaozong had the intention of abolishing the queen, after all, his feelings for Wu Zetian were not ordinary, and under Wu Zetian's crying and making trouble, the matter of abolishing the queen ended like a farce. In order not to let Wu Zetian feel resentment toward him, Tang Gaozong directly threw the pot to Shangguan Yi, saying that Shangguan Yi instigated him to do so.
Wu Zetian remembered Shangguan Yi at this point, so she fabricated the intention of deposing the crown prince and Shangguan Yi to rebel. Although Crown Prince Li Zhong had been deposed, keeping him was always a scourge for himself, plus Shangguan Yi had previously done things in the Prince's Mansion, which was the same as killing two birds with one stone directly from the head. In order to calm the people, Tang Gaozong finally chose to abandon the car to protect the marshal. Shangguan Yi was sold out at this time.
In the Shangguan clan, except for the newborn Shangguan Wan'er and her mother, who were assigned to the Court Division, all the others were asked to be beheaded.
The Empress is pampered
I have to say that the genes of the Shangguan clan are really strong, and shangguan wan'er, who is only 14 years old, can not only recite poetry and write articles under the careful cultivation of her mother during the period of slavery in the court, but also be sensible and very intelligent.
Although Wu Zetian's means of ascending to the throne were not very clever, he had to admit that she was also a generation of Ming Jun. Shangguan Wan'er's name of a talented woman reached Wu Zetian's ears, and she wanted to see who this talented woman really was.
So Wu Zetian summoned Shangguan Wan'er, and on the spot, the school exam questions, Shangguan Wan'er's text did not add points, it had to be made, and the meaning was smooth, the rhetoric was gorgeous, and the language was beautiful, it really seemed to be a dream. After Wu Zetian saw this, he immediately ordered that he be relieved of his status as a slave and put in charge of the edicts in the palace. Since then, most of the edicts issued by Wu Zetian have come from the hands of Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er
Wu Zetian relied on Shangguan Wan'er as a confidant, and even did not shy away from Zhang Changzong when he was having fun between the beds. Shangguan Wan'er grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she was the age when she first opened her love, where had she seen such a scene; in addition, since Zhang Changzong could become the face of Wu Zetian, she was naturally born with a beautiful posture, and Shangguan Wan'er saw the deer in her heart.
Zhang Changzong is not a fuel-saving lamp, this day, Shangguan Wan'er was having a private meeting with Zhang Changzong, and coincidentally was bumped by Wu Zetian, Zhang Changzong has always been regarded as a forbidden by Wu Zetian, can this be endured? So he pulled out a golden sword, stuck it straight into Shangguan Wan'er's front bun, and angrily said, "Ru dares to approach me and forbids me, and the sin should be executed." ”
However, Wu Zetian spared her life out of pity. Shangguan Wan'er also had a scar on her forehead, so she stabbed a red plum blossom at the scar to cover up, who knows but it is more delicate. The palace ladies all thought it was beautiful, and some people secretly used rouge to dot the forehead to follow suit, and gradually there was this red plum makeup in the palace.
Shangguan Wan'er, who had walked between life and death, also understood her identity, so in the days that followed, she served Wu Zetian more carefully, and bent her mind to meet, which won the favor of Wu Zetian.
Starting from the first year of Tongtian, Wu Zetian also let him handle the Hundred Divisions and participate in government affairs, and Shangguan Wan'er's power was even greater than before, and she was secretly called "The Prime Minister of the Towel", which shows the great power of Shangguan Wan'er at that time.
Incense disappeared
However, the peak of Shangguan Wan'er's power was not during the reign of Wu Zetian, but in 705 AD. In the end, Wu Zetian only stole the Tang Dynasty from the Li family, and in 705 AD, Zhang Kamzhi and other ministers who supported Li Tangzong's office launched a Shenlong coup, and Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate.
After the Shenlong coup, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was restored, and He ordered Shangguan Wan'er to take charge of drafting the edict, which was deeply trusted, and he worshipped Zhaorong and named his mother Zheng Shi as Lady Peiguo. Logically, as a close associate of Wu Zetian, he will not be severely punished, nor will he be reused, right? What's so catty about that?
It turned out that as early as the sixteenth year of Shangguan Wan'er, she had secretly had an affair with Emperor Zhongzong, and this time Emperor Zhongzong regained power, and he remembered his old love with Shangguan Wan'er, so there was this later scene.
Shangguan Wan'er can mix around Wu Zetian like a fish, how can it be a fuel-saving lamp? Emperor Zhongzong was uprooted and displaced throughout his life, and he developed a weak disposition, so Shangguan Wan'er took the opportunity to preach the deeds of Wu Zetian around Wei Hou, who was also a person with means and wanted to emulate the female emperor of the thousands of years.
Shangguan Wan'er / Glory of the King
After one or two, Tang Zhongzong was completely destroyed. In this court, it is considered that these women have made a miasma of black smoke. Tang Zhongzong could not move to these women, and he was toyed with and applauded until his death.
In 710, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang died suddenly, and Shangguan Wan'er and Wei Hou saw the opportunity, so they took this opportunity to draft a testament to prepare to make Li Chongmao crown prince, Li Dan auxiliary, and Empress Wei the empress dowager regent to balance the forces of all sides, but the chancellor Zong Chuke and Wei Wen changed the edict and persuaded Wei Hou to emulate Wu Zetian.
But where in the world is there an impermeable wall, Li Longji, the king of Linzi, could not sit still after hearing this news, he and Princess Taiping were ready to strike first! He then rushed into the palace with his troops and staged a coup d'état.
Shangguan Wan'er saw that her general situation had gone, so she thought about how to keep her life at Li Longji's hands, so she took the will and wanted to throw the pot away, but Li Longji, unlike Tang Zhongzong, did not listen to her nonsense and directly ordered her to be killed.
epilogue
Then how could Li Longji kill Shangguan Wan'er and repair her tomb? In fact, there are other people who repair the tomb, but nine times out of ten the tombs are Li Longji.
In the early eighth century, the destruction of tombs and the construction of new tombs seemed to have become an extreme way for those in power to vent their grievances and express their attitudes, and the political factors behind this behavior entangled generations of desire for absolute power.
It is difficult to say that Shangguan Wan'er did not think carefully about herself after serving several emperors. Especially around wu Zetian, an ancient female emperor, and under the dazzling, she will inevitably not give birth to: the emperor takes turns to do it, and this year the idea of coming to my house. Unfortunately, in the end, he fell victim to power.
