Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by. At this time, Wu Zetian was no longer satisfied with gaining a firm foothold in the palace. Only when the son becomes the emperor will the mother follow the glory. Therefore, his next goal is the position of empress, opening the way for his son to become emperor.

How big the heart is, how big the stage will be.

A person's ideals or ambitions are not created at the beginning, but are slowly cultivated according to the environment in which they live. When we were children, we may have been doctors, teachers, and scientists, but when we grew up, we didn't necessarily do these professions, but did something else. Wu Zetian is the same, when she entered the palace for the second time, she just wanted to have a foothold. But the battle of the harem gradually gave him such ambitions.

Although Wu Zetian's ambition is gradually expanding, she is very good at hiding herself, and she is still cautious in front of Queen Wang and does not show the slightest flaw.

Soon, Li Hong was canonized as the acting king, so that Wu Zetian had a higher status among the concubines, but she did not show the slightest arrogance, but maintained her usual kindness and friendliness, and was polite to everyone. Especially for Queen Wang, she is more attentive, and her fart is first-class. This made Queen Wang very comfortable, thinking that she had chosen the right person, and said that Wu Zetian was good in front of Tang Gaozong many times.

Tang Gaozong originally liked Wu Zetian very much, and when Queen Wang said this, he felt that Wu Zetian was not only cute but also knowledgeable. If he is asked to score the concubines in the harem, Wu Zetian is undoubtedly a full score. Since Tang Gaozong was full of love for Wu Zetian, Concubine Xiao Shu was naturally left out in the cold.

The queen's purpose was achieved, and this victory made her feel an indescribable joy in her heart, but this feeling of victory did not last long. A new problem has arisen.

Although Concubine Xiao Shu was left out in the cold, Tang Gaozong did not put her favor on Queen Wang. Instead, he favored Wu Zetian, which Queen Wang did not expect.

poured a Concubine Xiao Shu. Standing up another Wu Zetian, isn't this a busy game in vain? What made Queen Wang even more unbearable was that Wu Zetian gave it to Tang Gaozong by herself, didn't this lead the wolf into the house?

The queen was about to collapse.

Since he can make Concubine Xiao Shufei fall out of favor, he can also let Wu Zetian embark on the road of falling out of favor. She began to think about what to do next, this time she was sure that she would not find a second Wu Zetian-style character to enter the palace, this kind of thing of lifting a stone and shooting herself in the foot could only be done once.

Looking at Concubine Xiao Shu again, she didn't know that the reason why Wu Zetian was able to enter the palace smoothly was that Queen Wang played a role in fueling the troubles. She just saw that because of Wu Zetian's appearance, she was snubbed by Tang Gaozong. Therefore. She gritted her teeth with hatred for Wu Zetian, and she couldn't wait to pull out this thorn in her eye immediately.

In this way, the contradictions between the once hostile Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei eased, and they unanimously aimed the spearhead at Wu Zetian and launched wave after wave of attacks on Wu Zetian.

Judging from the situation at the time, these three women had their own advantages and disadvantages:

Queen Wang was born in a famous family, she was the queen, and she was the daughter-in-law personally selected by Tang Taizong, and there were many dignitaries behind her. Although he does not have a deep relationship with Tang Gaozong. But the tree has big roots and deep roots, and its strength is relatively strong.

Concubine Xiao Shu had a boy and two daughters, and she had a deep relationship with Tang Gaozong, but she was weak in the imperial court. It is a vase-like figure who has no prestige in the harem.

Although Wu Zetian came from a humble background, she was born beautiful and smart. And he has a deep relationship with Tang Gaozong, and he has some supporters in the imperial court. The prestige in the harem is relatively high.

In this way, although the queen has a very hard backstage. Concubine Xiao Shufei is not easy to deal with, but Wu Zetian has an incomparable advantage - he has a deep relationship with Tang Gaozong and is Tang Gaozong's confidante. And Wu Zetian at this time is not the former Wu Zetian, after some tempering, she has matured a lot.

Therefore, who is the final winner in this competition for favor depends on whose means are more clever.

Whether you're wasting your time or sparing your time, time will leave its mark on everyone. After 14 years of life experience, Wu Zetian has matured a lot, the young girl who didn't know anything before can no longer be seen, she has become mature and sophisticated enough, and she knows the people of the harem well.

Although she is just an ordinary palace person, she firmly believes that the comeback is not a dream, she wants to make a move, she wants to climb up and climb to the supreme position.

Low-key behavior is a kind of offensive and retreating, seemingly plain, but in fact profound strategy. In the turbulent harem, only those who know how to be a low-key person can play their roles well, be able to walk every step of the way in the journey of life, create a broad space for development, achieve brilliant careers, and deduce a wonderful life. Wu Zetian, who has experienced ups and downs in life, knows this well.

Although she has entered the palace, Wu Zetian's position is not stable, she cherishes this opportunity very much, and she wants to do her best to establish her position in the harem. How to gain a firm foothold in the harem has become her primary consideration. She decided to play the emotional card in order to win hearts and minds.

First of all, Wu Zetian did not hesitate to compromise and capture Li Zhi's heart with gentleness and affection, and won Li Zhi's love, and she was half of the success.

Secondly, it is Queen Wang, if there is no woman, Wu Zetian would not return to the palace so soon. For this kind of grace of recreation, Wu Zetian never forgets. She grovels and serves the queen carefully, standing on the same line as the queen and posing that she can do anything for this woman. This once made Queen Wang complacent because she had a helper. In fact, Wu Zetian is a delaying tactic, and when she makes a comeback one day, will she still succumb to this woman? The answer to this question is known to everyone on earth, but the king and queen are kept in the dark.

In the end, it's the palace maid, these people can't be underestimated, if they kick you in secret, it's enough for you to bear. Therefore, Wu Zetian also tried his best to win over the palace maids who had little status, and regarded them as his good sisters. When she saw that the queen treated her poorly, she went to make friends with whomever she wanted. She also shared the things that the emperor gave her with everyone and made good connections.

In this way, Wu Zetian has gained an excellent reputation, not only the queen praised her for being smart and capable, but also praised her in front of the emperor many times, and even the palace maids did not say that she was good.

The eyes of the masses are bright, and it seems that Wu Zetian's goodness is genuine.

Soon. Wu Zetian became pregnant with the emperor's dragon species. She was ecstatic as long as she gave birth to her and Li Zhi's children. She can be with the prince or princess, and she will never live the dead and terrifying days of Ganye Temple again.

Wu Zetian was unanimously recognized by the court. Li Zhi had long wanted to give her a name. When he learned the news of Wu Zetian's pregnancy, he decided to crown Wu Zetian as Zhaoyi (second grade, second only to concubine).

In less than a year, Wu Zetian has risen from an ordinary palace maid to a second-grade Zhaoyi, this rise rate is staggering, but it is also reasonable, just like excellent employees should get high salaries, good palace maids should also be rewarded and affirmed.

Concubine Xiao Shufei has her own son, and Wu Zetian is also pregnant. But the queen could not have children. This is the biggest regret of her life. However, regret is regret, for the sake of her own future, Queen Wang started the idea of the crown prince. Wu Ze was born a boy and a girl, not to mention this, he must not let Concubine Xiao Shufei's son be the prince, otherwise he will have no chance to turn the tables.

Only let the emperor set up the crown prince first, so that Concubine Xiao Shufei and Wu Zetian were disappointed. Only then can the queen retain her vested power.

Chen Wang Li Zhong's mother Liu is just an ordinary palace maid in the harem, and she can't shake the status of the queen; And Liu is weak by nature. There is no ambition. Therefore, in the eyes of Empress Wang, King Chen Li Zhong became the most suitable candidate for the crown prince.

Although Li Zhong is the eldest son, he is not a beloved son. Moreover, his mother came from a humble background and was not qualified to be the crown prince. Concubine Xiao Shu's son Yongwang Sujie is Tang Gaozong's beloved son. Even if he didn't establish the Su Festival, he wouldn't establish Li Zhong. We have to wait for Wu Zetian to give birth to a child before making a decision.

However, under the operation of his uncle Liu Zheng, some important ministers of the court, Sun Wuji and others asked Tang Gaozong Li Zhi to play together. In desperation, Li Zhi had no choice but to issue an edict: "Establish Chen Wangzhong as the crown prince." Forgive the world. ”

After making Li Zhong the crown prince, the mother and son were grateful for the great help of the queen and the queen. At this point, Queen Wang won a small victory, and she could sleep well.

In October of the third year of Yonghui (652), Wu Zetian gave birth to his eldest son and named him Li Hong. Since then, Wu Zetian not only has a title, but also a son, coupled with the emperor's favor for her, no one can shake her status.

The ambition to seize the rear position

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by. At this time, Wu Zetian was no longer satisfied with gaining a firm foothold in the palace. Only when the son becomes the emperor will the mother follow the glory. Therefore, his next goal is the position of empress, opening the way for his son to become emperor.

How big the heart is, how big the stage will be.

Although Concubine Xiao Shu was left out in the cold, Tang Gaozong did not put his favor on Queen Wang, but exclusively favored Wu Zetian, which Queen Wang did not expect.

poured a Concubine Xiao Shu, and stood up another Wu Zetian, isn't this a busy game in vain? What made Queen Wang even more unbearable was that Wu Zetian gave it to Tang Gaozong by herself, didn't this lead the wolf into the house?

The queen was about to collapse.

Since he can make Concubine Xiao Shufei fall out of favor, he can also let Wu Zetian embark on the road of falling out of favor.

Although Wu Zetian came from a humble background, she was born beautiful and intelligent, and she had a deep relationship with Tang Gaozong, and she had some supporters in the imperial court. The prestige in the harem is relatively high.

From this point of view, although Queen Wang has a very hard backstage and Concubine Xiao Shufei is not easy to deal with, Wu Zetian has an incomparable advantage - he has a deep relationship with Tang Gaozong. is Tang Gaozong's confidante. And Wu Zetian at this time is not the former Wu Zetian, after some tempering, she has matured a lot.

So. Who is the final winner in this competition for favor depends on whose means are more clever. Since there is going to be an offensive. It's all about strategy.

But it is not a simple matter to get the red and purple Wu Zetian away from Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. Think about your own stupid behavior in the first place. The king's and queen's bowels were repentant.

After thinking about it, Queen Wang really couldn't think of any good way, so in the end she could only adopt the next strategy - to say bad things about Wu Zetian, or to make rumors about Wu Zetian.

I have always said that Wu Zetian is so good, and now I have a 180-degree turn, saying how bad Wu Zetian is, will Tang Gaozong believe it?

Queen Wang can't take care of so much, and the most important thing at the moment is to pull down Wu Zetian, who has been lifted to the sky. So, she used all her connections to fabricate facts and smear Wu Zetian's face.

In an instant, rumors arose, and rumors about Wu Zetian continued in the harem.

Although rumors are not credible, and hearsay is often too far from the truth, people's words are terrifying, and false rumors can always confuse people's public opinion and make wrong judgments. Queen Wang wanted to use the pressure of public opinion to crush or drive Wu Zetian crazy.

Looking at Concubine Xiao Shu again, she never imagined that she would lose to an outdated concubine of the first emperor, after being snatched away by Wu Zetian, she was extremely angry, and vowed to bring down the older leftover woman Wu Zetian, snatch the emperor over, and make herself a favored woman again.

Concubine Xiao Shufei is a simple-minded person with a pungent personality, she lacks the calmness of Queen Wang, and she is not as smart as Wu Zetian. The way she took was very simple - one cried, two made trouble, three hanged, and even did not hesitate to quarrel with Li Zhi.

Generally speaking, jealousy is a common problem for women. The jealous woman is perverse and playful, vivid, showing a woman's various styles, Chu Chu is moving. Jealousy is the best way to overcome rigidity with softness, and no matter how strong a man is, he can't stop the soft voice of a woman full of vinegar in her ear.

Jealous women make a fuss in front of men, which is sometimes cute, but if you go too far, it will backfire. Therefore, a jealous woman is not necessarily happy, but a jealous woman can win happiness.

Concubine Xiao Shufei is undoubtedly a jealous woman, but she didn't master the essentials of jealousy, crying, making trouble and playing tricks almost drove Tang Gaozong crazy. Tang Gaozong couldn't have imagined that such a rough soul was hidden under his beautiful appearance, and the woman in front of him who had almost lost his mind was the woman who had once shared the bed with him?

In marriage, when a man begins to doubt the woman, the rift between the two grows wider and widens, and if left unremedied, they eventually part ways.

Tang Gaozong is the emperor, he has the right to love many women, and he also has the right to snub many women, he carried out cold violence in marriage against Concubine Xiao Shu, and never went to Concubine Shu's palace again.

The opponent has already shown his sword, and he can't be idle.

For the intentions of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, Wu Zetian is like watching the fire. If you want to keep your vested interests, you can't make the slightest concession, and you must have a life-and-death contest with these two women, and the way Wu Zetian takes is to continue to keep a low profile and respond to all changes without change.

First of all, she continued to be considerate of Tang Gaozong in every detail, and demanded herself with a standard good wife and mother. turned a blind eye to Queen Wang's rumors and Concubine Xiao's provocation.

Secondly, continue to win over forces in the harem, cut off the transmission channels of negative remarks about himself, and grasp the words and deeds of Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei through these ears and eyes, and then add fuel to the vinegar to Tang Gaozong to win sympathy. Since you want to launch an offensive, you must pay attention to strategy.

But it is not a simple matter to get the red and purple Wu Zetian away from Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. Thinking about her stupid behavior at the beginning, Queen Wang's intestines were repentant.

After thinking about it, Queen Wang really couldn't think of any good way, so in the end she could only adopt the next strategy - to say bad things about Wu Zetian, or to make rumors about Wu Zetian.
