As a generation of empresses, everyone saw the beautiful side of Wu Zetian, and they were also somewhat influenced by her magical legends.
But the people who want to do great things, from the exiled Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, the rogue Liu Bang to the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, basically each one has a variety of magical story endorsements, basically if you are born normally, there is no spiritual story around, you are embarrassed to greet other big people.
Many predictions are likely to be artificially processed, and the so-called predictions should be made up after the events have occurred. Turning decay into magic could be the original MCN team.
The legend of Wu Zetian's life was endorsed by the Great Xiang Master Yuan Tiangang and had a large V seal.
After Yuan Tiangang saw her, he immediately said that if she was a girl, she would be a generation of emperors. Here has begun to be mysterious, usually this kind of great master who has seen the world, even if he sees someone who is indescribably precious, he will not say it all.
What's more, in the past, if a person from an ordinary family had the face of an emperor who had to lose his head and bring disaster to himself and all the members who were confronted, then the probability of a knowledgeable person daring to say it was actually very small.
I think, most likely, Wu Zetian's father is very rich, also has brains, wants to meet, xiangshi usually has to say auspicious words, what is expensive, especially promising, this kind of thing, after that, by Wu Zetian who wants to ascend to the throne or has already ascended to the throne, he came to our house, and then vigorously rendered, became a prophetic story.
Putting aside the imperial prophecy, we can go back to the story from other angles.
How did Wu Zetian ascend to the throne?
It was because she entered the palace, and later approached the crown prince Li Zhi, and then took advantage of Li Zhi's serious illness and got the right to step by step. Why was she able to enter the palace? Because her father, Wu Shiyan, and Li Shimin were very close, they followed the Li family when they did not get the Jiangshan, bet on the right treasure, and became a small nobleman, and only then did they have contact with the palace.
So why can the samurai be able to suppress the treasure? The Li family was also a relative of the emperor at that time, and in that era of favored birth, you were not a big nobleman or a strategist, in other words, people without a little level could not get close.
Wu Zetian's father was a very rich timber merchant, also very ambitious and intelligent, but because of his own identity, he could not go one step further, so he joined the army in the chaotic world, and saw Li Shimin's ambition, secretly approached and declared his allegiance, and gave a large amount of money for him to start a trouble.
After the Li family became gods, they did not forget the martial family, and married yang shi, the eldest daughter of the Sui Dynasty, to him, which was equivalent to raising their value and giving them a small nobleman. However, the status of this small nobleman was still very low, and he could not enter the eyes of those hereditary nobles at all.
The family environment of his father being a big chaebol and his mother being an aristocrat made Wu Zetian have a happy childhood, and he was also well taken care of, in good health, able to read and write, and at the same time, his vision was broader than that of girls of the same age.
However, the good times were not long, not long after her father died, they began to be bullied by the samurai family, her half-brother was even more bullying of their mother, you can refer to "Know It or Not", the birth mother of the male protagonist, the top salt merchant after marrying into the noble family. The clan daughter Yang Shi only helped the martial family to improve their status, because her mother Yang Shi was a sui dynasty royal nobleman with noble blood, but the Sui Dynasty died early. When your father is dead, you have no value.
The mother has the blood of the Sui Dynasty royal family, and when she was a child, she was also a golden cloth, and she must not forget the glory of the past, and she will also educate her daughter in an aristocratic way and tell the story of the past royal family together.
Unexpectedly, the eldest got married, but was ostracized by the entire martial family, and the Yang family had no choice but to take three daughters to defect to his cousin Yang Shidao. That year, Wu Zetian was about 12 years old, that is, the age when he was going to junior high school.
During such a critical period in life, Wu Zetian suffered a huge turning point, and his father, who loved him, died, from a big lady who was loved by his parents to being bullied, expelled, and sent to the fence.
Big Miss was not reconciled.
Coupled with her mother's education, she knew what the real royal family looked like, and she also knew what the fate of the nobles of the fallen country was. So she never forgot to pursue money and power all her life. Because only strength can keep her from being bullied. Save yourself.
Since they were once nobles and bought the original shares of the Li family, there were still people in the palace, in order to change their fate, the mother and daughter of the martial family decided to enter the palace, and only by entering the palace could they access the core of power and change their destiny. Through various operations and public relations, after two years, I took a shortcut through the internal determination, skipped many steps, and went straight to the palace, and came up to be a talented person.
According to the Old Book of Tang and the Sixth Chronicle of Emperor Taizong, in the early days, at the fourteenth hour of the heavenly age, Emperor Taizong smelled his beauty and stopped, summoned him to the palace, and established himself as a talented person.
There are so many beautiful women around the emperor, and they are so busy, can they still hear the name of Wu Meiniang? (This name was taken by Li Shimin casually, similar to Xiaofang.) It can also let her not participate in the draft, straight through the talent, a total of 9 talents, the following is the 81 royal wife, which shows that her mother and daughter have some skills.
Let's take a look at the Tang Dynasty concubine ranks:
Top not set: Queen
Zheng Yipin: Noble Concubine
From Yipin: Shufei, Defei, Xianfei, Lifei, Huifei, Huafei
Zheng Erpin: Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan
Zheng Sanpin: Jie Yu
Positive four products: beauty
Zheng Wupin: Talented people (9 people)
Zheng Liupin: Pauline
Shoshichi: Woman
Masahachi: Pick a woman
At the beginning, with ambition and purpose, they can operate secretly, and there is a grade when they come up, can they still say that their family has no way?
Jinshi examination is not necessarily able to become an official, when the official is also a lot from the lowest level, Wu Zetian came up is the right five products, there are grades, there are establishments, and salaries, first solved the life problems of the mother's family, but also returned to the palace, according to her mother and daughter's script, will soon start the big heroine drama.
Good movies are full of ups and downs, and the life of cattle people is not a sail of feng shui, and they have to be beaten by all kinds.
After entering the palace, Wu Zetian was completely unnoticed, Tang Taizong did not like her this, coupled with the horse training lion and horse incident, let Old Li feel that Wu Meiniang was too fierce, not gentle, and completely away.
The taming of the horse, lion and horse incident was a turning point in Wu Meiniang's career in the palace, in fact, Li Shimin casually asked who could tame this fierce horse, and everyone had no way. Wu Meiniang, who was not willing to stand out again, immediately jumped out.
Say, Your Majesty I can.
Therefore, what big hammer, iron nail dagger greeted outside, frightened Li Shimin, Li Shimin liked that the eldest grandson Empress had nothing to copy the female rule, Wu Meiniang so love to show off, but also violent, a look has not been to the women's moral college.
Therefore, Wu Meiniang has not upgraded for many years and has not given birth. And the unappreciated concubines ended up very miserable.
I can also understand the psychology of Wu Meiniang, I have seen the world since I was a child, I have aristocratic blood, but I am bullied by the rude brother of the upstart, just because he is a man, so ordinary but can be so arrogant, can you bully us two mothers and drive us out of the house?
It's like borrowing money to go abroad, paying a lot, entering the palace and unable to go home, it is a dead end. Wu Zetian she was not dead hearted, so she studied desperately, changed her fate through knowledge, and became a female official, that is, the two kind of palace girls behind the emperor who played fans, and saw the battle between the court and the hall, which broadened her horizons, so that she could not stop here.
After that, she and The Crown Prince Li Zhi looked at each other, and it was really bold to be able to raise an eyebrow in front of Li Shimin's sickbed.
The two were as good as that, and with Li Shimin's death, she was banished to Ganye Temple and became a nun.
Royal amorous, Li Zhi is the most cowardly and emotional person among all of Li Shimin's sons, if he is not so emotional, his uncle and grandson Wu Jie may not help him (see the previous story).
Li Zhi, because he did not like the empress who was too polite and serious, came to the Temple to relax and see the old friend, and this look, pregnant.
In a place like a royal temple, under the jealousy and hatred of many palace women, they can still get along alone and get pregnant, which is no longer something that ordinary people can do.
From then on, Wu Zetian's life began.
ps: The story is too long, and listen to the next breakdown.
