Empress Wu Zetian became the only female emperor in Chinese history, and her merits and deeds were just like the wordless tablets left after her death, left to the world to judge.
But she did have a great impact on the political environment of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and many women became eager to change because they saw the success of Wu Zetian and broke the tradition of men in power, and a large number of ambitious extraordinary women emerged in the Tang Dynasty, and Shangguan Wan'er was one of the best.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > starts with the secretary who killed the father's enemy</h1>
Shangguan Wan'er was born into a noble family and was the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, but unfortunately, when she was born, her family took the wrong position in the struggle between the imperial family and Wu Zetian, resulting in the fall of the family, and her mother was enslaved with her.
Ye Ting is the palace where the concubines live, and to be a slave is to be reduced to a palace girl. During the Tang Dynasty, the palace women were generally served by women who had committed crimes, and they were not allowed to leave the harem for a lifetime. For the rest of his life, he will be a slave in the harem until he dies.
In the end, everyone was born in the boudoir, even during the period of slavery, her mother did not forget to carefully cultivate Shangguan Wan'er, destined to be an extraordinary person, and soon with her proficiency in reading poetry and books, she was clever and clever, and the fourteen-year-old Shangguan Wan'er was valued by her father's enemy Wu Zetian.
Since then, Shangguan Wan'er has got rid of the identity of a slave and become the first secret of Wu Zetian's personal body, although in the face of exterminating enemies, I don't know what Shangguan Wan'er thinks, she has never done a move within revenge, and has been conscientiously being The great secret of Wu Zetian.
Shangguan Wan'er, with her outstanding ability, was very successful in the Tang Dynasty officialdom at that time, especially after Wu Zetian was called emperor, helping her deal with the performance of hundreds of officials, participating in the decision-making of the government, and once becoming the "Prime Minister".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > Wan'er's "tortuous" emotional road</h1>
Wu Zetian's face is innumerable, one of which is particularly outstanding, Wu Zetian even had sex with Zhang Changzong in front of Shangguan Wan'er, and Shangguan Wan'er was drawn like a deer.
Later, Wan Er and Zhang Changzong flirted, and Wu Zetian threw out a jade hairpin and pierced her forehead, so she had to cut a flower tin (sticker) to cover the scar on her forehead, you don't have to say, such a sticker Shangguan Wan'er led a trend, and since then there has been Shangguan makeup.
After the change of the Divine Dragon, Shangguan Wan'er, who thought that as the first secretary of Wu Zetian, would be implicated, but she was fine, which showed how chaotic the Tang royal family was at that time.
The Tang Dynasty was an open country, and when empress Wu Zetian successfully ascended to the top, she completely liberated women's bodies and minds, and played with sex and power to divineize. Subsequent representative figures include Empress Wei (wife of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang), Princess Taiping (daughter of Wu Zetian) and Princess Anle (daughter of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang)
Since Emperor Zhongzong of Tang's restoration, the tang dynasty's royal power has been surging in the open and secret struggle of these women. Princess Taiping, the daughter of Wu Zetian, accumulated strong strength by continuously sending high-quality male pets to Wu Zetian during his reign.
Later, Emperor Zhongzong's wife Wei Hou and daughter Princess Anle, one who wanted to be called emperor and one who wanted to be the imperial concubine, formed the "Wei clique", which constantly confronted the Li Tang forces led by Princess Taiping.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er acted as a political speculator and a political victim, and her husband Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Sansi first recommended her to Tang Zhongzong, and later Shangguan Wan'er recommended Wu Sansi to Wei Hou, a high-level person in Chinese history, so blatantly playing the "wife swapping game", which is probably the only one.
Since becoming a "good sister" with Wei Hou, Wan Er was deeply loved by Tang Zhongzong, plus she was full of literary talent and was active between Tang Zhongzong, Wei Group, and Princess Tianping, and she was in the limelight for a while.
At this time, Tang Zhongzong was already in his twilight years, and Wu Sansi had been warming the phoenix on the dragon bed with Wei Hou all day long, and the lonely Shangguan Wan'er was certainly not willing to be lonely, she bought a mansion outside the palace, and mixed with some unscrupulous children and rogues in the city.
The later chancellor Cui Xiang was one of them, and because of Shangguan Wan'er's relationship, he was able to rise all the way. Knowing Wan'er's needs, Cui Xiang not only gave up herself, but also recommended her other three brothers Cui Ying, Cui Li and Cui Di to Wan Er.
These four brothers are also all born with eyebrows and clear eyes, their faces are like crown jade, young and beautiful, and the four brothers often accompany Wan Er. Therefore, you can often see such a scene: a banquet is held in the palace, a beautiful person sits in the middle, and four young children sit on both sides, accompanied by drinking and laughing, and performing orders and poetry.
After the Jinglong Rebellion, the crown prince Li Chongjun was killed, along with the remnants of the Wu clan, but the taiping princess grew stronger, and Wei Hou and Princess Anle poisoned Tang Zhongzong in a hurry, and after a month, Li Longji, the king of Linzi, led Yulin to rush into the palace and kill Wei Hou and his henchmen.
Earlier, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping drafted a draft edict, and when Li Longji entered the palace, Shangguan Wan'er showed the edict to Li Longji and wanted to prove her identity, but unfortunately Li Longji saw through her as a political opportunist, and in the Wei clique and Li Tang's forces, he immediately killed Shangguan Wan'er, who was 46 years old at the time.
Throughout Shangguan Wan'er's life, her achievements in politics and literature and poetry are obvious to all, and she can go from a slave to a "prime minister", and she is also a person who has never come before.
Emotionally, it can be described as "tortuous" very much, which posterity calls erosion. Perhaps her love has long been buried in the purest feelings between her and the crown prince Li Xian, who was violently destroyed by Wu Zetian when the love dou was first opened.
