Later generations also had negative views on Wu Zetian, and Liu Min belonged to the affirmers.

Liu Min believes that Wu Zetian inherited the "rule of Zhenguan" in the early Tang Dynasty, when the country was people-oriented, and the people were food-oriented, and the political strategy of emphasizing literature and ignoring military force to recuperate and recuperate; Attaching importance to agricultural production, rewarding agriculture and mulberry crops, building water conservancy projects, giving light to the people, and being sympathetic to the people's feelings have led to a substantial increase in the social economy and rapid population growth.

At the same time, Liu Min believes that Wu Zetian has done a lot of useful work in consolidating the border defense of the feudal state and improving the relations between the border ethnic groups in the Tang Dynasty; She also maintained the style of accepting advice during the Tang Taizong period, which played a good role in alleviating the class contradictions in the current dynasty.

Wu Zetian played an important role in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and without Wu Zetian's governance, it would be impossible to have the prosperous era of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

The problem is that Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who first appeared and then fainted, caused the "Anshi Rebellion", which weakened the Tang Dynasty and was finally overthrown and destroyed by the hooligan Zhu Wen.

And Wu Zetian is wise to Li Longji is that she took the initiative to give up the throne and was willing to be the queen mother, and her last words before her death were buried with Tang Gaozong in the Qianling Mausoleum; Because of this, there are only 18 mausoleums for the 19 emperors in Guanzhong, and the mausoleums that highlight the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty are the Qianling Tombs of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian; Li Shimin's Zhaoling is also difficult to compare.

What's even more bizarre is that Wu Zetian set up a wordless tablet for himself in Qianling, which is free of right and wrong, and later generations will comment; Its talent through heaven and earth can be glimpsed and seen the whole leopard......

Liu Min thought in his heart, and walked behind the two wrestlers towards Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian has finished the outdoor ink splashing activity and has entered the interior, and he still lives in the palace as a human emperor before his death, and it is a palace on Shufeng.

Liu Min stared at Wu Zetian's palace, and all kinds of emotions rose in his heart: a palace was built on the book peak of Wuzhi Mountain, I don't know if it was the will of the Jade Emperor or the arrangement of Hongjun Ancestor!

Liu Min approached and looked closely, only to find that the palace was decorated with gold and splendor; I remembered the teasing of Wu Zetian in "Dream of Red Mansions".

Chapter 5 of "Dream of Red Mansions": (Wandering Fantasy Land refers to the performance of Dream of Red Mansions by the Twelve Hairpins Drinking Immortal Mash) has this description:

At that moment, the Qin clan led a group of people to the inner room of the upper room. Baoyu looked up and saw a painting pasted on it, the characters painted were solid, and its story was "Burning Quinoa", and he didn't look at who painted it, so he felt a little unhappy. There is another couplet, which reads: "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article." And after reading these two sentences, even though the room is exquisite and gorgeous, he refuses to be here, and hurriedly says: "Get out quickly!" Get out! Qin Shi smiled when he heard this: "It's not good here, but where can you go?" Or go into my house. Baoyu nodded and smiled. One of the grandmothers said, "There's an uncle who sleeps in the nephew's room?" Qin smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not afraid of him being annoyed." How old can he be, just taboo these! You didn't see my brother come last month, although he was the same year as Uncle Bao, if the two of them stood together, I was afraid that one would be taller. Baoyu said: "Why haven't I seen it?" You bring him here and I'll see. Everyone laughed and said, "Twenty or thirty miles away, take it there, and there will be a day to see it." Saying that, everyone came to the Qin family's room. As soon as I arrived at the door, a thin sweet fragrance hit people. Baoyu felt that her eyes were soft, and she said: It's so fragrant! When entering the room and looking at the wall, there is a "Begonia Spring Sleep Picture" painted by Tang Bohu, and there is a couplet written by Song Bachelor Qin Taixu on both sides, and its couplet: "The tender cold lock dream is because of the cold spring, and the aroma cage is the fragrance of wine." "There is a treasure mirror set up in Wu Zetian's mirror room on the case, and on one side there is a gold plate that Feiyan has danced on, and the papaya that An Lushan threw and injured Taizhen milk is on the plate, and there is a couch where Princess Shouchang lies under His Royal Highness Hanzhang, and it is a joint bead tent made by Princess Tongchang. Baoyu smiled and said, "It's good here!" Qin said with a smile: "My house can be lived in by immortals." As he spoke, he personally unfolded the yarn that Xizihuan had worn and moved the mandarin pillow that the matchmaker had held. So all the grandmothers lay down in waiting, and the money was scattered, leaving only the four maids of Raider, Meiren, Qingwen, and Musk Yue as companions. The Qin family instructed the little maids to watch the cats and dogs fight under the eaves of the porch.

Cao Xueqin alluded to Qin Keqing in this episode that he was a very promiscuous master, citing the empress Wu Zetian of the previous dynasty, Zhao Feiyan, the empress of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Hede, the concubine Zhao Hede, and Yang Yuhuan, the concubine of Tang Xuanzong, as a backing for the famous yin chaotic women in history.

Especially the treasure mirror in Wu Zetian's mirror room, Feiyan standing on the gold plate that danced, and An Lushan threw the papaya that injured Taizhen's milk.

In many articles that defiled Wu Zetian in later generations, it was said that the four walls of the queen's room were inlaid with mirrors, and the scene when she was in love with Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Changzong, and Xue Huaiyi would be seen from the mirror; Cao Xueqin also quoted this "allusion".

But the palace interior that Liu Min saw was only a golden and splendid room, and there were no mirrors on all sides.

When Liu Min walked into the splendid palace, Wu Zetian was immersed in compiling books, and she seemed to want to record her pain and unspeakable secrets to give a true explanation to future generations.

Li Shimin and Li Longji have thousands of beauties in the harem, and Wu Zetian is at best four faces; But after Song and Zhu Lixue became popular, the shameless literati have been staining the empress.

Liu Min's entry brought some joy to Wu Zetian, only to see her raise her head from the page and look at it and exclaimed, "It's Liu Min, the real phoenix mother!" Come and meditate here! Wu Zetian got up and gave up his seat to Liu Min.

Liu Min was sincerely frightened, bowed and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor is above, please accept the people's daughter Liu Min to worship!" ”

Wu Zetian stopped Liu Min's politeness, pulled a round pestle for her to sit on it, and said straight to the point: "To be strong, you must have three things: one is an iron whip, the second is an iron hammer, and the third is a dagger." ”

Liu Min was dumbfounded, Grandpa Huo told her the story of Wu Zetian's horse taming on the way to Changbo Mountain to chop wood; Knowing that Tang Taizong had a lion horse that was difficult to tame, Wu Zetian said: "I have three things to subdue it: start to whip it with an iron whip, and if you don't accept it, you will hit it on the head with an iron rod; If you still don't accept it, you will stab it in the throat with a dagger! ”

Wu Zetian suddenly mentioned the three sharp weapons of taming horses, such as iron whip, iron hammer, and dagger, in front of Liu Min, which was to imply that she must be vicious when she became Empress Zhang Xian Mingsu in the future.

Liu Min didn't seem to care about Wu Zetian's vicious inspiration, and made a little absent-minded appearance.

Wu Zetian was different, babbling about her relationship with Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong.

Wu Zetian entered the palace at the age of 14 and was made a talented person by Emperor Taizong, and was born in the same year as Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

Liu Min was already excited when she heard this, because she had read the biographies of Song Zhenzong and Empress Zhang Xian Mingsu in later generations, and knew that these two were also born in the same year; In terms of personality, Song Zhenzong is a copy of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

Liu Min didn't understand why He Shengsheng arranged for her to meet Wu Zetian at Shufeng of Wuzhi Mountain, could it be that she, the true phoenix Niangniang, would the future Great Song Zhang Xianming Su Empress Dowager get any inspiration from Wu Zetian's story......
