≌Name: Wu Cao (I didn't use any absurd inferences such as Wu Huagu, the reason why I say this inference is ridiculous, it is well-founded, I don't believe you look down)

Date of birth: the 23rd day of the first month of the seventh year of Tang Wude (February 17, 624 AD)

Place of birth: Chang'an (seems to be controversial)

Father: Wu Shi Tong (sound: said, word letter) This is the answer I found in the no-number dictionary, Xinhua dictionary, modern Chinese dictionary, Cihai, etymology, only the Chinese word sea is different, say this word read or, but unfortunately I found a sentence in the New Tang Dynasty book: "Wei Renyue, with the sound of the heavenly father, so change", it can be seen that this word is indeed read

"Pro: Yang Peony, Mrs. Taizhen (with Yang Guifei), has a lot of origin, is the daughter of Yang Da, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, this mother is also quite remarkable, she didn't get married until she was in her forties, she is really a model of late marriage, and she married in her forties and gave birth to three daughters in a row, not only a model of late marriage but also a model of late childbearing

Members of the ∫ court: In addition to my parents, there is an older sister named Wu Shun (the word rule, I speculate that this may be a soft character, this is definitely not my nonsense, Wu Zetian's sister Mrs. Han posthumously presented Mrs. Zheng Guo The epitaph is recorded in the gold and stone record compiled by Mr. Zhao Mingcheng, the husband of Yi'an Jushi Li Qingzhao); There is another sister, and the name of the younger sister is unknown

̈ calendar: private school (I guess she is also a middle school student at most, because she got married at the age of fourteen, and it seems that she didn't have time to go to college, but Wu Cao is not an ordinary woman.) Read the novel on the hot 38376; 23567; 35828; 32593; 】… Novel, self-taught in the court, when she became queen. His academic qualifications are at least bachelor's degree or above)

Age of first marriage: 14 years old (this seems to be ........., is Chu guilty of adultery with an underage girl?) ）

Marriage objects: The first one is Tang Taizong Li Shimin (professional emperor. This is a well-known figure in Chinese history, and there are probably not many Chinese who don't know Li Shimin); The second is Tang Gaozong Li Zhi (professional emperor, it's a pity that he has some pockets, for example, when we want to introduce him, we will add a sentence: This Mr. Li Zhi is one of Ms. Wu Cao's husbands, if you don't add this sentence, I'm afraid few people know who this venerable Mr. Li Zhi is, and it's even more unfortunate. The name Li Zhi is too ordinary, so ordinary that the name Li Zhi is everywhere, and almost every dynasty can count one or several Li Zhi in the history books. If you don't add a special sentence, there will be a mistake, and what is even more violent is that Ms. Wu Cao's two husbands are father and son, and those who have read Dream of Red Mansions know that this is called ...... mode)

∮ daughter: It is unknown whether she has children with her first husband. I'm afraid not

Six children with the second husband, in order:

Eldest son: Li Hong, died at the age of twenty-four

Eldest daughter: Princess Anding, nicknamed Si. He died violently a month after birth

Second son: Li Xian, aged Chinese New Year's Eve

Third son: Li Xian, Tang Zhongzong. At the age of fifty-five, he was > to be a professional emperor

Fourth son: Li Dan. Tang Ruizong died at the age of fifty-five. These two people are also very special>, as they are the only pair of professional emperors in Chinese history who have taken the title of their parents at the same time

Second daughter: Princess Taiping Li Lingyue (name is still disputed), died at the age of 50

… Calendar: At the age of fourteen, he entered the palace as a talented person of Tang Taizong

At the age of twenty-six, she became a nun

At the age of twenty-eight, he returned to the palace as Tang Gaozong Zhaoyi

At the age of thirty-two, she became the queen of the Tang Dynasty

At the age of sixty, she became the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty

At the age of sixty-seven, he became the emperor of the Great Zhou

At the age of eighty-two, he became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty

After her death, she was called the Great Holy Empress, also known as the Great Sage Queen of Heaven, the Holy Emperor of the Queen of Heaven, and finally the Holy Empress of Zetianshun

Wu Zetian's real name can't be called Wu Yue or Wu Huagu, this reason is quite simple, even now you can't get your daughter's name the same as your grandfather's and father's names, even if it's the same sound, it's very awkward, let alone in that era? Wu Zetian's grandfather's name was Wu Hua, and it was not Wu Zetian's own name that the courtiers avoided. Wu Zetian's sister Korean lady Wu Shun's name was fortunate to be accidentally discovered from the Jin Shi Lu written by Li Qingzhao's husband Zhao Mingcheng, it is difficult to guarantee that Wu Zetian's real name will one day be found from a pile of old papers, all the inferences before this are actually quite funny, I think the history of discovery, but can history really let us really discover? It is impossible for anyone to witness the first scene of history, and of course the historian did not, let alone know the psychological activities of the people at that time, so I have always believed that whenever the psychological activities of a certain historical figure are recorded in the history books, the historian is actually talking nonsense. [26825; 33457; 31958; 23567; 35828; 32593; 119; 119; 119; 46; 77; 105; 97; 110; 104; 117; 97; 116; 97; 110; 103; 46; 99; 111; 109; There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's faster than the general station to be stable dìng a lot of updates.,There are no ads in the whole text.。 When every historian writes a history book, he is actually talking about history in his own words, and when Wei Shu of the Northern Qi Dynasty wrote the Book of Wei, he openly said that I can write a person to the sky, or I can write a person to the ground, and everyone see, if the history book written in this way is not full of subjective conjecture, it is a strange thing. …

The official titles and names of Wu Zetian's eight generations of ancestors are as follows:

Eighth ancestor: Wu Nian, Northern Wei Luozhou Thorn History, Guiyi Hou

Seventh ancestor: Wu Qia, General of Pingbei of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shangshu of the Five Soldiers, Duke of Jinyang

Sixth ancestor: Martial God Turtle, Northern Wei Dynasty sacrificial wine

Five ancestors: Wu Keji, Dazhongzheng, Situ, Yue Wang Changshi, posthumously named Yan Zucheng Emperor

Gaozu: Wu Juchang, general Zhenyuan of Northern Qi, posthumously crowned Emperor Suzu Zhangjing

Great-ancestor: Wu Jian, the fifth counselor of Yongchang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty joined the army, and was posthumously crowned Emperor Zhao'an

Grandfather: Wu Hua, the capital of the eastern part of Sui, posthumously crowned Emperor Wenmu

Father: Wu Shi Tong, Shangshu of the Tang Ministry of Industry, Ying Guogong, posthumously crowned Emperor Taizu Xiaoming Gao

It can be seen from this that Wu Zetian's ancestors are not really poor, and of course they do not belong to the family name of a high family, but only ordinary bureaucrats.

Since Wu Zetian is called Wu Cao in the official history, then of course we should also call her Wu Cao, she could not have been born in Guangyuan, Sichuan, Wu Zetian's father was the governor of Lizhou in the first year of Zhenguan (627 AD), assuming that Wu Zetian was born in Guangyuan, then her age is not right, and her age of eighty-two must be subtracted from four years old. In order to make her born in Guangyuan, the age of historical figures was changed. This approach is really funny, although her father was in Yangzhou when she was born. But at that time, the local magistrate had to return to Beijing to report on his work, and usually had a mansion in Chang'an, and her mother was unlikely to go to Yangzhou with her husband because of her pregnancy. Therefore, she should stay in Chang'an, and Chang'an's conditions in all aspects are of course much stronger than Yangzhou. Wu Zetian's place of birth should be in Chang'an.

The legend of Wu Zetian's birth

Due to the lack of responsible reporters in the Tang Dynasty and the lack of authentic and credible reporting records, Wu Zetian had the problem of origin. It's a big deal.

Three different versions of her hometown have emerged. What are the three types? first, it was merged with the state (now Wenshui County, Shanxi Province); second, Chang'an (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province); The third was Lizhou (now Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province).

To this day, these three places have left relics related to Wu Zetian, as well as various absurd legends.

In order to emphasize that Wu Zetian is extraordinary, the authors of those legends often use unconventional means to exaggerate the legend of the story.

In order to further deify Wu Zetian, the readers of the legend added oil and vinegar to add branches and leaves, and made Wu Zetian's background miraculous and immortal without a bottom line.

There is a pond there in Lizhou. The people of the rivers and lakes are called Longtan, which is crystal clear and unfathomable.

According to the legend, Wu Zetian's mother did not have menstruation one day. And on a whim, he took off naked and jumped into the pool to cool off and exercise. Because Wu Zetian's mother is too beautiful. is also because Wu Zetian's mother has cleaned the top and bottom of her body, both inside and out, and because the two pieces of fat on Wu Zetian's mother's chest and the two pieces of lean meat under the collapse are very, very, very tempting, tempting, and tempting. Unknowingly, he tempted a male dragon with an ape heart.

The male dragon originally slept at the bottom of the pool, and woke up. I couldn't help but feel helpless, my spirit was shocked, and my sleepiness was completely gone, and I suddenly got out of the water, looked up to the sky and groaned, and then got up, circled a few times in the sky, and then couldn't help but say that it was inserted into the water, entangled Wu Zetian's mother's plump and sexy body, begging for pleasure.

So, Wu Zetian's mother became pregnant with the dragon seed and gave birth to Wu Zetian, a little dragon girl.

Amazing samurai father

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, China's political zhì has formed a system of scholar gate valves. The powerful landlords controlled the political authority of the state, and the big families became the backers of the central power. Therefore, the family can rise to the rank of prince by virtue of the family's success; Even if ordinary scholars and businessmen are talented and virtuous, they will lose the opportunity to enter the official career because of their poor background, and even if they enter the political world, it is difficult to get promoted, and they can only mix at the bottom of the officialdom all their lives and be a small official who is looked down upon. …

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes. In that era when you were born, your fate seemed to be predestined from birth. But some people don't believe in evil, and they want to fight against fate. This person is our protagonist Wu Zetian's father, Wu Shitong.

Wu Shi Tong was originally from Wenshui (now Wenshui County, Shanxi). Wenshui is located in the eastern slope valley of Luliang Mountain in Jinzhong, where there are mountains and rivers and rich resources. Wenshui borders the junction of the territory, Taigu, Qixian and Pingyao, and the famous commercial group "Jin Shang" in the history of our country is developed by virtue of this land. This water and soil also provided advantageous conditions for the development of the samurai.

At that time, Wenshui's Wu family was still a local surname, which was more than enough than the upper and lower than the bottom, and it can be regarded as the middle class now. Although the ancestor has served several terms as an official, the official is not big, and the social prestige is not high.

There are four brothers in the family, Wu Shi Tong is the youngest, and the three elder brothers are honest farmers.

Although this kind of day facing the loess with his back to the sky is comfortable, it is not what the samurai want.

He was an ambitious man who hated this way of life and was unwilling to spend his life repairing the earth. He's going to climb up, he's going to make more money.

Some people say that only when you are ambitious can you know how difficult it is and do it hard; Only when you are ambitious can you know what you will do and work hard to do it; Only when you are ambitious can you know what you can do and do your best. As big as your ambition is, your stage is as big as it is. Indeed, ambition is the foundation of success, and those who have ambition will have a wider and wider road.

In the society at that time, it was difficult to make a difference in the career of a poor family, and if you wanted to get ahead, you could only do business, which was the only feasible way to make money.

But ancient China was an identity-based society. People are divided into four classes according to the profession they work in, namely, scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. Merchants make money from circulation. Not producing anything is considered opportunistic. So at the very bottom. Although rich, rich but not expensive, social status is not high.

There's nothing to be afraid of, as long as your pockets are bulging, things will be much easier, after all, money can make ghosts grind. At this moment, the samurai's desire to get rich is stronger than ever, so. Without the slightest hesitation, he plunged headlong into the ranks of merchants.

Since you want to do business, you have to choose a project. Samurai tried to carry the burden to sell tofu in various villages, but the profit was too thin, so he had to choose another project.

Emperor Wen of Sui became more and more arrogant in his later years, and built a lot of buildings. The upward and downward effects, the bureaucratic landlords also ask for land and houses. As a result, a large amount of timber is urgently needed, and the mountains and valleys around Wenshui are rich in timber resources. This is an opportunity. Together with his friends, he started a lumber business, and soon became a well-known and wealthy man within a hundred miles.

Later, Emperor Yang of Sui, who succeeded to the throne, was also very happy and built palace annexes everywhere. Especially when building the eastern capital of Luoyang. There is an urgent need for large quantities of timber for construction. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the shrewd samurai to make a fortune by starting a long-distance timber trafficking business. became an upstart.

If Samurai Tong sells tofu all his life, he can only be a nameless small businessman. Thankfully, he was able to choose another project in time. It can be seen that small fights cannot make the climate. To do business, you must have enough courage and courage.

Now, he has money, but he will not be satisfied with the status quo, he will try to improve his social status, because it is his ultimate dream to keep climbing up. So, he actively drilled into the officialdom again.

Before the implementation of the imperial examination system, joining the army was probably the most important way for the children of the poor to start a business. As long as you have two brushes and win more battles, then you have a chance to be promoted. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, so Wu Shitong decided to take the path of joining the army and get a military attaché.

If he didn't have money, he could only start as an ordinary soldier, but the samurai was not short of money, and it was easy to do things with money, so he spent money to buy a small military attaché. From a timber merchant to a soldier who goes into battle to kill the enemy. However, the days of leisure and abundance are just going to the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, which makes people a little dizzy and confused. But Samurai Tong was still quite satisfied with this gorgeous turn. …

It takes time to go into battle to kill the enemy, win military merits, and then get promoted, which takes time and takes risks, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your own life. Are there any shortcuts? The answer is yes.

If you want to climb high and climb fast, you can't do without the help of nobles, which is the key to success. Abraham, the global "god of marketing", once said: "The reason why a person does not become a billionaire is that he does not give away the resources behind him." "When we manage the strangers around us into our own nobles, then you are not far from success.

Wu Shi Tong met a nobleman, this noble man is not ordinary, he is the famous Tang Dynasty founding emperor Li Yuan.

In the eleventh year of Emperor Yang of Sui (615), Li Yuan was ordered by Emperor Yang of Sui to crusade against rebellion and passed by the place where Wushi Tong was an official. When the nobles came, the samurai Tong would not miss this opportunity to tie the knot, so he naturally had to do his best to treat the nobles with good wine and good food. Li Yuan was very satisfied with this, and left after he was full of wine and food.

After another two years, the world was in turmoil, and a group of males swarmed. Li Yuan was appointed to stay in Taiyuan, and the military and political power in Taiyuan was tightly held in his hands. In order to realize his ultimate dream of becoming emperor, he began to expand his strength. As a result, the samurai was promoted to the rank of marching commander to join the army and was in charge of weapons and soldiers.

The turbulent times were changing, and people were more optimistic about Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, because Li Yuan's strength was relatively weak. But the samurai Tong stood on Li Yuan's side with all his heart, and did not hesitate to put his life into such a big gamble. He not only dedicated a "hardcover version" of his carefully compiled military book to Li Yuan, but also dedicated all the thousands of family properties he had worked hard to accumulate to Li Yuan. This kind of courage and adventurous spirit of giving up a qiē and giving it a go made Li Yuan impressed.

Do things in the eyes of the leader, so that the leader will remember you and think of you when there are good things.

As long as you choose the right direction, your efforts will be rewarded. Wu Shi Tong's investment paid off handsomely, and after Li Yuan settled in Chang'an, he was listed as one of the heroes of Conglong, a veritable founding father. Because he was proficient in management and had an unusual relationship with Li Yuan, he was in charge of engineering and water conservancy construction in the third year of Wude, and became a ministerial-level important member. In this way, the samurai rose from a small timber merchant to an upstart of the dynasty.

The history of the samurai shows that it is very important to follow the right people and give up their blood. The greater the risk, the higher the return. There are always winners and losers in high rollers, and luckily, Samurai is a winner.

When the samurai Tong was the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Mrs. Xiangli fell ill and died, leaving behind two sons, one named Wu Yuanqing and the other named Wu Yuanshuang. Generally speaking, the loss of a wife in middle age is a great misfortune in life, but the samurai has the right to be rich, and there is no one to fill the vacancy of his wife.

In the eyes of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Wu Shitong is a good employee, even if something big happens at home, such as the death of his wife, he does not ask for leave, and insists on working diligently at work, such an employee is rare.

Therefore, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan wanted to be a matchmaker in person and find a good daughter-in-law for Wu Shi Tong. After thousands of selections, Mrs. Yang was finally chosen.

Mrs. Yang was of noble birth and was a person with an identity and background. She is the niece of Yang Xiong, one of the four nobles of the Sui Dynasty, and the daughter of Yang Da. Her uncle and father were both members of the Sui Dynasty, and both had been prime ministers.

Although she is an authentic golden branch and jade leaf, she does not have the quiet and shy of everyone's ladies, but is shrewd and capable, bold and spicy, not good needlework, likes poetry and books, and is good at literature.

If you marry someone with such an identity background, your social status will be further improved, and Samurai Tong will no longer be afraid of his colleagues ridiculing his background and saying that he is a nouveau riche behind his back.

One thing that makes the samurai unhappy is that this Yang lady's "Fang Ling" is already forty years old, and she is a standard older leftover girl. Most men like old cows to eat tender grass, so there are countless stories about "second milk" and "little three".

What the samurai thinks, we don't know. But one thing is for sure, he can't put off this marriage no matter what.

First, this is the emperor as a matchmaker, and the courtiers have to accept it whether they want it or not;

Second, this marriage is a strong alliance, the warrior Tong has the status of politics, and Mrs. Yang has an identity background, so there is no reason to refuse.

Although Mrs. Yang married late, her fertility was really amazing, and she gave birth to three daughters in a row, among them, the second daughter is our protagonist Wu Zetian.

The career is proud, the children are full, and the warrior Tong is quite proud of this, feeling that he has not come to this world in vain. Indeed, throughout the history of the samurai's development, he is really a relatively awesome person, amazing. If you put it to now, this almost self-made man would definitely be at the top of the Forbes list. (TT download please go to HTT112; ://87; WW46; 75TT46; o77; ……) u
