The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, but there are also a lot of strange things, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress's love, and Wu Zetian's male favorite, who is in love with the female official she trusts. So, what's going on?
Let's talk about Zhang Changzong first, he is Wu Zetian's male favorite, recommended by Princess Taiping, and Zhang Changzong's brothers entered the palace one after another.
Zhang Changzong said that Liulang was as beautiful as a lotus, and he was deeply favored by Wu Zetian. The two brothers were successively sealed by Wu Zetian when they entered the palace, and they had a certain amount of power.
After that, Wu Zetian got older, his health became worse and worse, and the two brothers used their power to disrupt the government, and they were very presumptuous, and they even impeached many loyal ministers of the court, which caused a miasma.
Shangguan Wan'er, needless to say, is an official eunuch family, familiar with poetry and books, gentle and virtuous, and has the name of "women's prime minister", which shows that her talent is extraordinary.
It is said that Zhang Changzong first fell in love with Shangguan Wan'er, because Zhang Changzong could speak well, and slowly the two fell in love, but unexpectedly, the East Window incident happened and was discovered by Wu Zetian. One is his most trusted subordinate, and the other is the person he likes, and in the end it was simply solved.
Of course, these are all wild historical records, and it is unknown whether they are true or false.
Later, the Shenlong coup d'état, Wu Zetian died of illness, Zhang Changzong was executed in the name of rebellion, and Shangguan Wan'er was killed together with Empress Wei in the subsequent Tanglong coup.
