Wu Zetian's childhood was very full and happy, the samurai was an official, from Chang'an - Yangzhou Governor - Yuzhou Governor - Lizhou Governor - Jingzhou Governor, she followed her father to walk a small half of China, which can be described as a thousand miles. Following her mother, Madame Yang, through the literature and history books, it can be said that she read ten thousand books. This insight and knowledge laid a solid foundation for her.
Samurai Yan died, and Wu Zetian was severely treated
When Wu Zetian was 12 years old, her father, Wu Shiyan, died. Wu Zetian's happy childhood life also ended. Wu Zetian has three half-brothers, perhaps these three brothers have long been dissatisfied with their mother and daughter, but because their father Wu Shiyan is still alive, so they have not shown it, And when Wu Shiyan died, they were even more mean and unreasonable to Wu Zetian and her mother for the sake of family property.
Wu Zetian entered the palace at the age of 14 and became a Wupin official
Since ancient times, beautiful women have usually received preferential treatment, but fortunately, Wu Zetian is beautiful. In 637, Wu Zetian was recruited into the palace at the age of 14 because of his beauty and intelligence as a talented person (Wupinguan). {Tang Dynasty concubine rank: first class - concubine 4 people (first class; second class - concubine 9 people (second product); third class - jie yu 9 people (three products); fourth class - beauty 9 people (four products); fifth class - talent people 9 people (five products)}. Wu Zetian's mother, Lady Yang, was not happy to hear this news, but on the contrary, she was very sad and cried day and night. Wu Zetian was very happy, and said to her mother: "See the Heavenly Son yong knows that it is not a blessing", and entered the palace full of expectations.
After entering the palace, will Wu Zetian be smooth sailing? Would Tang Taizong like her? There are three thousand harem beauties, how can she stand out?
