As a woman, is Wu Zetian's title of emperor accidental or inevitable? It can be said that it is both accidental and inevitable! Coincidentally, from the well-documented Shang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, she was the only female emperor who took the legal throne and was recognized by the people. It is inevitable that in the high-level power circle of the Tang royal family, which is prosperous and yang- and declining, compared to the heirs of the Tang royal family who are not in touch, Wu Zetian is too outstanding, and he also has the ambition to rule the world! Therefore, her title of emperor can be described as a surprise and can not be surprised!
<h1>▲ The prince will have a kind of Xiangning? </h1>
It was also more than 2,000 years ago, counting from now on. When Chen Sheng Wu Guang shouted out the slogan "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning", countless people rejoiced, and people began to awaken, knowing that the Mandate of Heaven was not granted to a certain person, but to the people of the world! Did they succeed? No! Because they understand this slogan too one-sidedly! The princely general does not really need a race, but a population! Their failure is to rely too much on themselves, to ignore or even reject this population. Because this population can be a figurative group or an abstract network of contacts.
The reason why we started like this is because we want to express: Wu Zetian's title of emperor is not the destiny of heaven, but she has this kind of human resource of being called emperor, that is, she has ~ kind!
Portrait of Wu Zetian
Wu Zetian's grandfather, Wu Hua, was a Sui Dynasty county magistrate, equivalent to the current secretary general of the provincial party committee. Later, due to the peasant revolt and war, Wu Zetian's father, Wu Shiyan (pronounced Tongyue), chose to engage in business, and quickly became a wealthy merchant by virtue of the personal resources accumulated by his family as an official. At this time, Wu Shiyan made a bold decision to learn from Lü Buwei of the Qin Dynasty to invest in the emperor and fund Li Yuan's uprising! The result is self-evident, Li Yuan succeeded, and Samurai Yan also became the founding hero!
Friends who often watch palace fighting dramas know that it is not an easy task to enter the palace and serve the king! So, why was Wu Zetian able to enter the palace at the age of 14? Beauty is on the one hand, more from his father's background, which is also the innate condition that she can call the emperor herself, so we say that she has a kind of ~

If it is said that the innate network resources are to buy a large number, then the effort of the day after tomorrow is to open and grab the equipment.
Wu Zetian entered the palace at the age of 14, and the age of hearing and hearing was the best time to study. Coupled with the reason of her family background, she has been literate and hyphenated since she was a child, and she is especially good at literary history, so she and Tang Taizong are very talkative, and Taizong also likes her very much, and gives her the name Wumei! (The name of the later "Wu Mei Niang" is purely joking.) ）
We all know the phrase "parents are the best teachers for children". This parent is narrowly conceived, but also in a broad sense, it can also be the person around him, because "threesomes, there must be my teacher." At this time, Wu Zetian had one of his best teachers, Li Shimin, one of the most governing emperors in Chinese history. Judging from Wu Zetian's later recollections, Emperor Taizong was also very proud of her as a student.
Once, When Emperor Taizong trained a horse, Ma Tailie could not drive, so Wu Mei suggested that as long as three things were needed, it could be tamed: first use an iron whip to smoke it, if it disobeyed, hit its head with an iron hammer, and then kill it with a dagger if it disobeyed! Therefore, Emperor Taizong "Zhuang Wu Zhi Zhi" greatly praised Wu Mei. And this incident also allows us to see Wu Mei's determination.
In 649, Emperor Taizong of Tang died, and Wu Mei was cut as a nun by Fa Zhi Ganye Temple according to the custom. From entering the palace to now, it can be said that Wu Zetian has studied for 11 years, and at this time she is already 25 years old, and she has reached the age of opening her head and knowing how to plan her life. We can even boldly guess that Wu Mei's encounter with Li Zhi at Ganye Temple is likely to be planned by her! The purpose is to escape the shackles of "cutting hair into a nun" and return to the top of power. Even if he and Li Zhi fall in love, "taking the initiative" should also be the main theme. At this time, Wu Mei was no longer the "Dulala" who had just entered the palace, but already had the appearance of Wu Zetian.
<h1>▲ In the era of great national integration, when the mother queen who has the heart of the world meets the emperor of the "Oedipus complex"</h1>
Almost everyone knows that the main reason why Wu Zetian is called emperor is that Li Zhi is too cowardly, and as everyone knows, Li Zhi's cowardice is only an appearance. Wu Zetian was too strong, and he showed his love for Li Zhi, coupled with the social atmosphere that was open to all dynasties at that time, so that Li Zhi had a motherly complex that was superior to ordinary people, which was the main reason.
The reason why we add the word "superior to ordinary people" is because the Oedipus complex is something that everyone has, and its essence is complementary and similar. Everyone is not the only being, and people themselves will not pursue loneliness, so they will need companions, and this companion may be complementary or similar, and parents can be said to be the first "partners" that human beings have come into contact with in the world, so it is called "Oedipus complex". Most of us are not obvious because the social order that has regulated the millennium has allowed us to actively suppress it.
Scene from the drama "Wu Zetian"
Li Zhi lived in an era in which politics was unusually enlightened, all nationalities were greatly integrated, and people accepted and influenced each other, which was tantamount to launching a cultural movement to "liberate nature"! In this environment, the love between Wu Mei, who is the "mother queen" and Li Zhi, a teenage prince, will inevitably stimulate a strong "Oedipus complex" in Li Zhi's subconscious. We know that most of the men with obvious characteristics of the Oedipus complex are cowardly and dependent, which can also be seen from Li Zhi's later performance. During his time as emperor, Li Zhi was very eager and afraid of losing Wu Mei's love, so he let Wu Mei go again and again! The only few tantrums were also important moments related to the country's social welfare, but in the end they all compromised!
When a woman wants what a man gives, it is the time when the roles of two people are reversed. In this way, Wu Zetian can become an emperor, naturally.
<h1>▲ The enemy of the enemy is his best friend</h1>
If it is said that wu Zetian is the biggest obstacle to the emperor, it is probably the royal family members and the door valve aristocratic forces.
From plotting to become emperor to inheriting the throne, Wu Zetian never stopped suppressing the royal forces, and took advantage of the rebellion of the kings of various regions to kill Li Chong, the evil king of Lang, and Li Zhenbing, the king of Yue. Later, he forced Li Zhuo, the Duke of Huangguo, Li Rong, the Duke of Dongguan County, Li Lingkui, the King of Lu, Li Yuanjia, the King of Han, and Princess Changle to commit suicide.
Wu Zetian had also begun to eliminate dissidents before becoming emperor, first pretending to seize power for Li Zhi, expelling the eldest grandson Wujie, Chu Suiliang, and others who opposed her as empress, and demoting them to local officials (I am afraid that they were familiar with history and learned from Fan Ju to assist Qin Zhaoxiang), and then beheaded Shangguan Yi, the prime minister after Li Zhi's depose, and also carried out a major change of blood for the stable middle level of the dprk.
She set up a sealed copper dagger (similar to today's whistleblower box) that only she could open and let the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu report each other! It also clearly states: there is a reward for successful reporting, and there is no penalty for reporting errors! For a time, countless officials were dismissed because of dispensable evidence! Di Renjie was also released as the Assassin of Ningzhou at this time. Taking this opportunity, she re-recruited a group of officials to entrust her with important duties and became her confidant. This move can be described as the "enemy of the enemy is the friend" to the extreme!
<h1>▲ "Twelve things to advise", those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world</h1>
All this is done, and all that remains is the will of the people. How can the people be recognized as the emperor? Wu Zetian put forward the twelve things at the right time. Of course, it is likely to be deliberately proposed.
The twelve things are mainly aimed at the lower middle class, including middle and lower officials and lower class people. She called for the encouragement of agriculture, the reduction of wars, the promotion of morality and the reduction of labour. Of course, there are also broad ways to speak, reform the promotion mechanism, etc., anyway, it is beneficial to the people, basically thought of. To sum up, it is to let everything be done by someone, everyone to give full play to their talents, and ultimately achieve the purpose of making the country rich and the people strong!
Of course, not only the slogans are good, these measures have indeed played a great role, the society has stabilized, the court has been quiet, and most importantly, people have recognized the female emperor!
It is said that the Dragon Gate Buddha is based on Wu Zetian
Therefore, Wu Zetian's ability to become the only female emperor is really not so simple as accidental, whether it is from the perspective of talent, strength, ambition, means or his ability to adapt to the times, there is no blame for its inevitability! The tide rises and falls, the sun and the moon change, even if there is no Wu Zetian, there will be Wang Zetian, Zhang Zetian ~
