Shangguan Wan'er was a prominent figure in the Wu Zetian Dynasty, and for thousands of years, people have been interested in her. Today we will take a look at the introduction of Shangguan Wan'er and see how this legendary woman completed her life.
Shangguan Wan'er
Shangguan Wan'er was a descendant of the western Han Dynasty's three generations of Shangguan Jie, Shangguan An, and Shangguan Period's grandchildren, the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, the chancellor of emperor Gaozong of Tang, the great-grandfather Shangguan Hong, who served as the fujian of Jiangdu Palace during the Sui Dynasty, and the grandfather Shangguan Xianguan to The Northern Zhou Youzhou Taishou.
In 664 (the first year of LinDe), Shangguan Yi was killed by Wu Zetian for drafting an edict for Emperor Gaozong to depose Wu Zetian, and the newborn Shangguan Wan'er was sent to the court with her mother Zheng Shi. During the period when ye Ting was a slave, under the careful cultivation of her mother, Shangguan Wan'er was familiar with poetry and books, and could not only recite poems and texts, but also knew the officials and was unusually intelligent.
In 677 (the second year of Yi Feng), Wu Zetian summoned Shangguan Wan'er, who was only fourteen years old, and gave a question on the spot. Shangguan Wan'er's text is not dotted, it must be made of silk, and the meaning is smooth, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the language is beautiful, which really seems to be a dream. After Wu Zetian saw this, he immediately ordered that he be relieved of his status as a slave and put in charge of the edicts in the palace.
The epitaph states that he was thirteen years old and talented, which may have been given a title by Wu Zetian in order to dispense with his slave status.
Later, Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor, and those who commanded more than one of his hands were called "Neishe people". Soon, Shangguan Wan'er was sentenced to death for violating his will, but Wu Zetian spared his literary talents and gave him a special pardon, only to be dicta. Later, Shangguan Wan'er served carefully and flattered her, which was even more pleasing to Wu Zetian.
Beginning in 696 AD (the first year of Tongtian Yuan) (from the Records of the Jinglong Wenguan and the Old Book of Tang as the Holy Calendar Year), he was allowed to handle the Hundred Divisions and participate in government affairs, and his power grew.
In 705 (the first year of the Shenlong Dynasty), Zhang Kamzhi and other ministers who supported Li Tangzong launched the Shenlong coup, and Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate. After the Shenlong coup, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was restored, and He ordered Shangguan Wan'er to take charge of drafting the edict, which was deeply trusted, and he worshipped Zhaorong and named his mother Zheng Shi as Lady Peiguo.
Shangguan Wan'er also had many contacts with Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and repeatedly persuaded Empress Wei to carry out the story of Wu Zetian, so Empress Wei requested that all the people of the country should serve the funeral of their mother who was abandoned by her father for three years. He also requested that the people of the world should be counted as Ding only when they were twenty-three years old, and that by fifty-nine years they would be exempted from hard labor and changed the system to collect the hearts and minds of the people, and Li Xiandu approved it.
Shangguan Wan'er also recommended Wu Sansi to Empress Wei and led Wu Sansi into the palace, so Li Xian began to discuss political affairs with Wu Sansi, and Zhang Kamzhi and others were from then on restrained by Wu Sansi. Soon, Wu Sansi relied on the support of Empress Wei and Princess Anle and others, and successively designed to kill the five kings such as Zhang Kamzhi, Huan Yanfan, Jinghui, Yuan Shuji, and Cui Xuanwei. Shangguan Wan'er also had an affair with him, and in the edicts of the so grass, he often promoted the Wu clan and suppressed the royal family, which made the crown prince Li Chongjun indignant.
In July 707 (the first year of Jinglong), Li Chongjun and the zuo Yulin general Li Duozuo and others ordered more than 300 Yulin troops to kill Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun in his palace, and ordered more than ten of his pro-party members to enter the gate, knock on the cabinet gate and arrest Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly fled to Li Xian and Empress Wei, and threatened: "Prince Guan's intention is to kill Shangguan Wan'er first, and then hunt down the empress and her majesty in turn." Li Xian and Empress Wei were furious for a moment, so they took Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Anle to the Xuanwu Gate to avoid the soldiers, and ordered the Right Yu Lin general Liu Jingren to lead more than 2,000 flying horses to guard themselves in front of the Tun Taiji Hall. Li Chongjun was defeated and killed.
However, according to the epitaph, Shangguan Wan'er had advised Emperor Zhongzong four times against Princess Li'an Le as the imperial concubine, from reporting and exposing, to resigning from the official, to cutting her hair as a nun, without tang Zhongzong's permission, and finally to death. After drinking the poison, the doctor urgently treated him, so that he could save his life.
Shangguan Wan'er was deeply trusted by Li Xian and Empress Wei, and devoted herself to internal affairs, and her grandfather's case was also rehabilitated, and Shangguan Yi posthumously gave Zhongshu Ling, the Governor of Qin Prefecture, and the Duke of Chu, and Shangguan Tingzhi posthumously gave the Yellow Gate Shilang, the Qi Prefecture Assassin History, and the Duke of Tianshui County.
After that, Shangguan Wan'er often persuaded Li Xian, set up a large number of Zhaowenguan bachelors, widely summoned as ministers of lexicography in the dynasty, and repeatedly gave feasts and pleasures, and gave poetry and singing. Each time, he replaced Li Xian and Empress Wei and Princess Anle at the same time, and several poems were composed at the same time, and the verses were beautiful, and most people recited and sang at the same time. For the poems written by the chancellor, Li Xian asked her to evaluate them, and those who ranked first were often rewarded with gold knights, which were extremely valuable. Therefore, inside and outside the imperial court, poetry was written and became popular. Shangguan Wan'er loves to collect books, and has collected more than 10,000 volumes, and the books collected are all perfumed. A hundred years later, his books are still fragrant and insect-free.
After the death of her mother Zheng Shi, she was posthumously honored as Lady Jieyi, and Wan'er lowered her rank to JieYu as a sign of mourning, and soon after she was restored.
Li Xian's people also built rocks through the pond in shangguan Wan'er's residence, and the poor carved ornaments often led the ministers to feast and enjoy. At that time, the palace was forbidden and allowed officials in the palace to come and go as they pleased. Shangguan Wan'er then bought mansions outside the palace with some palace officials, and often exchanged contacts with them, and some people sought high-ranking officials and important positions because of this. Zhongshu Shilang Cui Xiang was later taken for foreshadowing with Shangguan Wan'er in the outer mansion. Soon, when Cui Xiang presided over the election, he made many mistakes, was impeached by Yushi Li Shangyin, and was demoted to Sima of waizhou for his crimes; he was also reinstated as an official because Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Anle were their reasons.
In 710 (the fourth year of Jinglong), Princess Taiping's power grew, and Shangguan Wan'er was attached to Princess Taiping. In June, Li Xian died suddenly, and Empress Wei arranged all her henchmen and clansmen for the government of the Tai Cabinet, the power of internal and external soldiers and horses, and the central forbidden army, and the power of the government fell into the hands of Wei Shi. Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping drafted a testament, appointing Li Chongmao as crown prince, Li Dan as assistant, and Empress Wei as empress dowager regent to balance the forces of all sides, but the chancellor Zong Chuke and Wei Wen changed the edict and persuaded Wei Hou to emulate Wu Zetian.
On July 21, Li Longji, the King of Linzi, consulted with Princess Taiping and decided to attack first, and on July 21, Li Longji launched the Tang Long Rebellion, and attacked the palace with officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army, killing Wei Hou, Princess Anle, and all of Wei Hou's party, and supporting his father Li Dan. Shangguan Wan'er led the palace people to greet her with a candle, and showed Liu Youqiu the will she and Princess Taiping had proposed to prove that she was standing with Li Tangzong, Liu Youqiu took the will and begged Li Longji for mercy, but Li Longji did not allow it, and killed Shangguan Wan'er under her banner. Later, he was buried in Hongduyuan, Maodao Township, Xianyang County, Yongzhou, and Princess Taiping was so sad that she sent someone to offer sacrifices and paid five hundred silks.
