As the only female emperor in Chinese history to obtain orthodoxy, Wu Zetian's experience can be described as bizarre and full of stories. From an unfavored five-rank talent, to becoming the only generation of female emperors in the ages. Therefore, many things that happened to Wu Zetian have become the talk of people today, especially one of the problems, and it has become an age-old problem that many people still can't understand, that is, why Wu Zetian is naturally beautiful, but Li Shimin is indifferent to him. Is it because Li Shimin is too old? In fact, age is not the point at all, this is the answer.
First, the mei niang enters the palace. Regarding Wu Zetian's life, everyone has long known now, born in a family of eunuchs, and because the family is willing to cultivate, Wu Zetian is not only outstanding in appearance, but also versatile, and is a veritable lady. Such a superior family background may have brought Wu Zetian a better life, but unfortunately, due to the early death of his father and the oppression of their mother and son by his cousin, Wu Zetian, who was only 12 years old, was forced to follow his mother back to Chang'an to live, and it was because of this that Wu Zetian had the opportunity to enter the palace. After Wu Zetian returned to Chang'an with his mother, because he helped his mother all day long, he always needed to show his face, so her beauty soon spread throughout Chang'an City.
When he was 14 years old, her reputation for dissolving fat beauty reached Li Shimin's ears, so Li Shimin summoned him to the palace and made him a five-rank talent. But her mother was very worried, after all, the companion is like a tiger, and Li Shimin was fratricidal in order to ascend to the throne, and his reputation was very bad. But Wu Zetian knew that the emperor's order was difficult to violate, not to mention that he was willing to enter the palace, even if he was unwilling, what could he do? So Wu Zetian could only comfort her mother and said that it was not a bad thing for him to enter the palace. Wu Zetian married into the palace after parting from her mother, and Wu Meiniang began her thrilling life.
Second, the mystery of Wu Meiniang's unfavored. As we all know, Wu Zetian was summoned to the palace by Li Shimin himself. It stands to reason that Li Shimin should like Wu Zetian very much, even if he is dissatisfied with seeing Wu Zetian, he should not be snubbed by him. For 12 years, until Li Shimin's death, Wu Zetian did not receive Li Shimin's favor. In this regard, many speculations have come to mind, and some people even think that Li Shimin is old and incapable of doing things between men and women. But Li Shimin was only 39 years old when he summoned Wu Zetian into the palace, and the beautiful Wu Zetian at that time was only 17, how could it be because Li Shimin's strength was inadequate? In fact, there are many reasons inside, the point is still because of this person's words, Li Shimin and Wu Zetian are not without contact, and Wu Zetian is not without trying the peach song Li Shimin's favor, such as Wu Zetian's horse taming for Li Shimin, is one of Wu Zetian's attempts, but the effect is not ideal.
In fact, Wu Zetian did not get Li Shimin's favor for diverse reasons. First of all, from several women favored by Li Shimin. You can get a glimpse of one or two. As we all know, the most favored by Li Shimin is Empress Changsun, who is not only knowledgeable and courteous, but also virtuous and virtuous, and is deeply loved by Li Shimin. Moreover, in state affairs, Li Shimin often consulted with him and listened to his opinions. Then it is known from this that it is not that Wu Zetian is not good enough, but that Li Shimin does not like Wu Zetian's type of person. Secondly, Li Shimin, as the most prestigious emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has begun to concentrate on government affairs since the Xuanwumen Incident, and rarely talks about his children's private affairs. If it were not for the continuation of the royal bloodline, it is estimated that Li Shimin might only marry an empress of Changsun and would not renew it.
Wu Zetian is charming and moving, and once Li Shimin falls into it, he is likely to be unable to extricate himself, so this is one of the reasons why Li Shimin intends to alienate Wu Zetian. However, if these two points are not enough to explain why Li Shimin snubbed Wu Zetian for 12 years, then the following reason is the focus of this question, that is, Li Chunfeng said a sentence claiming that this person has the order of an emperor, and if it is a boy, he will definitely be able to ascend the throne in the future. As a famous master of metaphysics and an expert in Yi Xue, Li Chunfeng, a high-ranking person who was regarded as a guest by everyone at that time, also made calculations later.
During Li Shimin's reign, there were rumors among the people that after the third Tang Dynasty, the heroine King Wu represented the world, and Li Shimin was extremely concerned about this matter, so he asked Li Chunfeng to come to solve the confusion. Li Chunfeng said a word after calculation, this prophecy will come true, but this person cannot be killed, otherwise the Li family will suffer even more. Because of this sentence, Li Shimin was very resistant to people with the surname Wu, which was the main reason why Wu Zetian was summoned into the palace by Li Shimin and hidden in the snow for 12 years.
Third, people are not as good as heavenly calculations, and what Li Shimin never expected was that even if he calculated organs, he could not change the result of Wu Zetian becoming emperor after all. Although Li Shimin ignored Wu Zetian's love, his heir had a soft spot for Wu Zetian, and even after inheriting Li Shimin's throne, he did everything possible to bring Wu Zetian back to the palace and favor him, and since then Wu Zetian has further access rights, and even laid a solid foundation for becoming a generation of empresses in the future. Now, people can't help but wonder if Li Shimin hadn't summoned Wu Zetian into the palace back then, or given Wu Zetian more favors after entering the palace, Li Tang Jiangshan's fate would have been very different.
