One morning, Empress Wu suddenly fell asleep, and it was already the time to get up in the morning to freshen up, and the crown prince Li Heng had no choice but to shake her awake, and Empress Wu got up tiredly and said, "I dreamed of a god man wearing armor, and he stabbed his sword into my ribs, and the pain was unbearable."
She lifted her robe, and when the prince looked, the red mark like a sword mark was still there. It was soon discovered that she was pregnant, when Empress Wu was just a teenage girl. Later, she gave birth to a boy, very thin and weak, but he was the eldest grandson of Tang Xuanzong.
On the third day after Empress Wu gave birth to the child, Tang Xuanzong came to see the eldest grandson and brought a golden basin to prepare to bathe the child. Because the child was thin and ugly, the nanny brought a child from other palaces to pretend, and Tang Xuanzong took a look at the child and was immediately unhappy. He said, "This is not my eldest grandson."
The nanny prostrated her head in fright and begged for forgiveness, and Tang Xuanzong said, "This is not something you can understand, so hurry up and bring the emperor's grandson here." So the nanny hurried to hug the child born to Empress Wu, and Tang Xuanzong looked at it, was very happy, looked at the sun, and said, "His blessing is greater than his father's."
After Tang Xuanzong left, he left all the musical instruments and drinking utensils he had brought with him, and said to Gao Lishi: "Drink with the prince and see three heavenly sons in one day, be happy!" These three heavenly sons were Tang Xuanzong and his son Tang Suzong, as well as his grandson Tang Dynasty Emperor.
To say the origin of Empress Wu, we must first talk about the prince. The emperor's successor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, had to be a man of great gold and nobility. However, when Tang Suzong Li Heng was crown prince, he was squeezed and tortured, Tang Xuanzong was suspicious, and the chancellor Li Linfu secretly created an accident and excluded the prince, because his spirit was in a state of depression and tension, so that his hair fell out early.
Once, Tang Xuanzong saw the prince's appearance of premature aging, thinking that he was in his prime, but he was so embarrassed, thinking that he must be caused by drinking alcohol, and reprimanded him. Later, he took Colliers to the womb to have a look, wanting to see what the prince was doing.
When I walked to the palace, it was full of depression, no one cleaned inside and outside the palace, the house was full of dust, even the musical instruments were damaged by insects, and there were no concubines around the prince, not even maids. Suddenly, Tang Xuanzong became sad in his heart and asked Gao Lishi, "The child's life and residence are like this, why don't you let me know?"
Therefore, Tang Xuanzong wanted to choose a good family woman from Jingzhao for his son to serve, and Gao Lishi said: "Choosing in the Jingzhao area will give people an excuse, and it is better to choose the shi clan women in the court." Emperor Xuanzong said, "Yes, choose five first."
As a result, only three people were selected from the court, one of whom was Empress Wu. At that time, she was a teenage girl, and it is said that her life was extremely pitiful, and when her father Wu Lingjue was serving as a pi county clerk, she was executed for a crime, and she was sent to the court at an early age.
Empress Wu's temperament was humble and gentle, and she was favored by the crown prince and took good care of her. It's just a pity that she only lived to be eighteen years old before she died. Her title of empress was posthumously honored after her son Emperor Tang ascended the throne.
Emperor Tang decided to relocate the tomb of Empress Wu and Emperor Suzong of Tang to be buried in Jianling, so that Empress Wu's spiritual seat would be attached to the temple of Emperor Suzong and be sacrificed. It is said that when the coffin was opened, Empress Wu's face was as alive as it was, but her clothes turned brown, and everyone who saw it was amazed.
[Breeze] When Tang Suzong was the crown prince, it was not easy, with twists and turns, and his life was urgent. Empress Wu was even more pitiful, losing the care of her parents at an early age and being sent to the court, a short eighteen-year lifeline, if she did not have an emperor's son, her fate was unknown.
