In the vast history, Wu Zetian, as the empress of the Tang Dynasty, her life deeds have always attracted much attention.
It is puzzling why she never tried to hide her historical background as Li Shimin's concubine.
This choice was unique not only in her time, but also in later historical accounts and literature.
Today's topic
Why didn't Wu Zetian cover up his history as Li Shimin's concubine?
See what everyone is saying?
suddenly realized that Wu Zetian was a real female frequency Shuangwen
The key is that Wu Zetian also blames the prime minister for this, how to let this kind of talent run away
Your question silenced me......
You're right, Li Er's ability to be the emperor is to pave the way for the true daughter of the Mandate of Heaven, and the proverb has long been said, after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wuwang, then Tian can only work with Li Zhi, so Li Er's accession to the throne is the introduction of the heroine's entry into the palace
It's not "for a while", it's that Wu Zetian has never had children with other women since he started waiting in Ganye Temple to enter the palace
I didn't figure out why I had to cover it up. The Queen's man has an extra five-star card on the collection book, which is still drawn from the novice card pool in the early stage. Isn't that a glory to show off?!
Wait, you're not in the right order
Zhu Chongba: What's wrong with me?![Cool] [Cool] However, Wu Zetian slept with Li Shimin, and there is a saying that Li Zhi and Li Shimin are ashamed, and Wu Zetian is not ashamed at all [covering his face]
You are the real ruthless man, the contemporary Luo Bing King
Have you forgotten that there was a long period (22 years) between Li Zhi and Li Xian's second reset... To say that the longest period of Shangguan Wan'er's career was also in the Wu Zetian period. What's more, when Li Zhi was alive, she was also promoted from the court by Wu Zetian, and the history book of her work is very clear, Wu Zetian asked her to draft the edict on her behalf. After Wu Zetian became the emperor himself, he was "a hundred officials and a hundred officials, and many orders were made". After Li Xian's reinstatement, her position was to be in charge of life, as well as the Literature Museum, "Sheng quoted as a courtier, and commented on the world's literature". It's completely the work of a courtier, and there is no second concubine in history who does this kind of work. And she has a residence outside the palace, she has a lover of her own, and most importantly, when her mother dies, she has to worry like all courtiers. No matter what she did or what the emperors arranged for her, she was a proper foreign minister, just receiving a high salary in the name of the palace concubine, because the female official only had the highest five ranks, and she could not be given the position of a male official
Why do you want to cover it up? You must know how the first emperor of the ages after Li Shimin has a standard. Tang Xuanzong read the textbook of Zhenguan political leaders as emperors, and the emperors of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties could have a complete version of Zhenguan political leaders as emperors to read. Li Zhi was the only one who could get the emperor's training from Tian Khan, and Wu Zetian was a free observer.
Wu Zetian learned the essence of imperial art from Li Shimin, and tested the theory with practice during the Li Zhi period. During the reign of Wu Zhou, he graduated. It's like looking for a job, a Fortune 500 company. It is written on the resume: a famous professor, scientist, celebrity personally trains top exclusive knowledge. This is to gild yourself. Cover up? It's too underestimated to dare to be a female emperor's mind.
When we explore the answer to this question, we may analyze it from multiple dimensions such as Wu Zetian's personal character, political wisdom, and historical background.
Perhaps, it was this experience that shaped her tenacious and resourceful personality, which enabled her to navigate the political battles in the future.
Perhaps, she chose not to cover up this history because of a political ploy to assert her legitimacy and authority.
Or perhaps, deep down she had a special affection for that time, and considered it an indispensable part of her life.
Regardless of the reason, Wu Zetian did not hide her history of being Li Shimin's concubine, which has undoubtedly become an important part of her legendary life.
This choice not only affected her personal fate, but also shaped the direction of Tang Dynasty and even the entire history of China to a certain extent.
