Shangguan Wan'er had reason to hate Wu Zetian, because Wu Zetian's harm to her was really too great.
The word "harm" can be said to be too light, or more precisely, it should be "cruelty".
Wu Zetian first killed Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather and father, and threw Shangguan Wan'er's mother and young her into the court to become slave girls, doing dirty work such as laundry and cleaning and sanitation all day. It should be known that Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather Shangguan Yi was the prime minister, and Shangguan Wan'er's great-grandfather was also a high official of the Sui Dynasty, and counting further up, you can also count to the prime minister Shangguan Jie during the han zhao emperor of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that Shangguan Wan'er's family has been an aristocrat for hundreds of years.
However, under the order of Wu Zetian, the aristocratic family of Shangguan Wan'er fell into mortal dust, not only in mortal dust, but more precisely, into the mud and became a slave family.

The point is that Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather and father did not commit any crimes, and Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather wrote an edict abolishing Empress Wu Zetian because he helped Emperor Gaozong of Tang to rule Li Zhi. This matter was done by the emperor, as the prime minister, can Shangguan Yi not carry it out? Besides, isn't it natural for the emperor to depose which empress? Moreover, Wu Zetian was also too much, and had already surpassed the duty of the empress. If Li Zhi could really abolish Wu Zetian, it would be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Shangguan Yi did not do anything wrong, and it can even be said that it was a righteous act. The murder of their two fathers and sons was obviously extremely unjust.
The second thing That Shangguan Wan'er hated Wu Zetian was that Wu Zetian stabbed a knife into Shangguan Wan'er's face. Of course, there is also a saying that Shangguan Wan'er was punished by Wu Zetian's appeasement. But no matter what, Wu Zetian disfigured Shangguan Wan'er. You know, what a woman values most is her appearance, and Wu Zetian ruined Shangguan Wan'er's appearance, which is a cruel thing for Shangguan Wan'er.
Later, we saw that Shangguan Wan'er had been slashed in the face, leaving a scar, so she painted a red plum blossom around the scar, called "red plum makeup". What is more interesting is that at that time, people in the world still felt that Shangguan Wan'er's "red plum makeup" was very beautiful and followed suit. So much so that women all over the world are painting "red plum makeup".
The Tang Dynasty people are really strange, not to mention following Shangguan Wan'er to learn to paint "red plum makeup", Yang Guifei grew fat, which is not a good thing for Yang Guifei. In fact, she also wants a beautiful figure, nothing else, after all, Yang Guifei is dancing, her figure is too fat, and dancing is obviously inappropriate. But the girls actually followed Yang Guifei's study and made themselves fat, so that the entire Tang Dynasty women became fat and beautiful.
To say strange is actually not surprising. The reason why ordinary people would follow Shangguan Wan'er to draw "red plum makeup" and follow Yang Guifei to make themselves very fat was that they saw these two people gain glory and wealth. I think it is the "red plum makeup" and fat that make them rich and glorious. As everyone knows, these things should actually be a thorn in the hearts of the two people.
Shangguan Wan'er had absolute reasons to hate Wu Zetian. But in fact, Shangguan Wan'er not only did not hate Wu Zetian, she also admired Wu Zetian very much, admired Wu Zetian very much, and was extremely loyal to Wu Zetian.

Obviously, the reason why Shangguan Wan'er did this was nothing more than to obtain glory and wealth from Wu Zetian. That is to say, Shangguan Wan'er gave up hatred, gave up dignity, and chose a great future of glory and wealth.
When a person dares to give up her dignity and choose to be rich, she can do anything. Shangguan Wan'er's life just confirmed such a sentence.
Shangguan Wan'er gained great trust from Wu Zetian, and when Wu Zetian was alive, many things would be discussed with her, and the folds handed over by the ministers were also approved by Shangguan Wan'er. When Wu Zetian summoned the ministers to discuss things, she even hid Shangguan Wan'er under the desk and listened to Shangguan Wan'er's suggestions before making a decision.
Although Shangguan Wan'er was hidden, all the ministers understood that Shangguan Wan'er played a crucial role in Wu Zetian's decision-making. Shangguan Wan'er's power was established at that time.
In addition, because Shangguan Wan'er is very talented, she can write poetry and write gifts. Therefore, Wu Zetian repeatedly gathered the people who could write poetry in the world, asked Shangguan Wan'er to evaluate them, and gave these poets the first and second grades, which is called "weighing the world's corporals". This incident also gave Shangguan Wan'er great prestige and power, so that the people under the heavens became Shangguan Wan'er's "protégés".
It was precisely by relying on Wu Zetian that Shangguan Wan'er, a female slave, became a power figure.
After Li Xian became emperor, Shangguan Wan'er still called the wind and rain in Li Xian's court. Compared with Wu Zetian, Li Xian's ability was obviously much worse than that of Wu Zetian. For such a thing as writing the Holy Will, he was even worse than Wu Zetian. Therefore, Li Xian handed over these things to Shangguan Wan'er in one fell swoop.
When Wu Zetian was there, although Shangguan Wan'er was also doing these things, Wu Zetian always grasped the direction. Therefore, Shangguan Wan'er did not bring any evil consequences. But by the time Li Xian came, the situation had changed.

Li Xian, the emperor, was supported by the five kings led by Zhang Kamzhi, so Zhang Kamzhi and other five kings naturally wanted to control the imperial court. They wanted to control the imperial court, so naturally they did not allow Shangguan Wan'er to exist. After all, Shangguan Wan'er is only a woman, in the patriarchal society, how can a woman be allowed to touch the power? Coupled with the previous lessons of Wu Zetian, the five kings such as Zhang Kamzhi naturally tried their best to exclude Shangguan Wan'er.
In order to retain her power, Shangguan Wan'er introduced Wu Sansi into the imperial court and asked Wu Sansi to work with her against Zhang Kamzhi and the other five kings. At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er not only formed a political alliance with Wu Sansi, but also formed a physical alliance with Wu Sansi. It can be said that the entire set of gameplay was learned from Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian formed a physical alliance with Li Zhi before he stepped into a high position of power. Shangguan Wan'er was following wu Zetian's lead.
Then, Wu Sansi killed Zhang Kamzhi and the other five kings. Power returned to Wu Sansi and Shangguan Wan'er again.
However, another faction of forces emerged, that is, Li Xian's crown prince Li Chongjun. He staged a coup d'état, killed Wu Sansi, and also tried to kill Shangguan Wan'er. In the end, Shangguan Wan'er took advantage of Li Xian and Wei Hou to kill Li Chongjun and regain power from Li Chongjun.
Then, Shangguan Wan'er united with Princess Taiping and killed Empress Wei and Princess Anle.
After the death of Wu Zetian, a strongman, the political situation in the Tang Dynasty became extremely complicated. Various political forces, such as the royal family, ministers, and foreign relatives, are fighting each other. Who can laugh to the end and become the last king is a difficult thing to predict.
However, Shangguan Wan'er was on the right path at almost every step. Killed the five kings such as Zhang Kamzhi, killed Wu Sansi, killed Li Chongjun, and killed Wei Hou and Princess Anle.
Shangguan Wan'er was a slave, a woman, an awkward character who was neither a harem nor a minister, and laughed to the end. She was like a strong vine, under the constant coercion of various large trees, relying on climbing on these big trees, from one plant to another, and finally climbing to the top of the forest.
In fact, Shangguan Wan'er's last step was to go right. However, Li Longji, who is very shrewd, has already understood the logic of Shangguan Wan'er's firm existence, and he will never allow this logic to play a role in himself, and he will never allow Shangguan Wan'er to climb this vine to attach to him. So he was clean and sharp, and with a knife he cut the rattan from below. Shangguan Wan'er did not expect,
Not a big tree, he turned out to be a knife. In this way, Shangguan Wan'er, who had come all the way from the time of Wu Zetian, her life came to an abrupt end.
In the patriarchal society, Shangguan Wan'er is only a vine after all, and she cannot escape the fate of the vine.
