Because Queen Wang will not have children, and Concubine Xiao Shu not only has children, but also has been favored by Li Zhi, which caused Queen Wang to be extremely jealous, and also made her faintly feel that her status as queen was threatened, so the two intrigued and made the harem jump. This caused great dissatisfaction among Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

It is often said that behind every successful man, there is a woman. It means that behind every successful man, there is a woman who understands her, she knows where the man's strengths are, what the man can and can't do. Therefore, a woman knows enough about the men around her to play a certain role in promoting the man's career.

As an ordinary woman, if you don't know your husband, you can't make any big mistakes, at most your marriage breaks down, and you go your own way. But Wang is different, she is the queen, but she doesn't know her husband, which means that this woman will end in tragedy.

A big pie falling from the sky

Li Zhi's snubbing of the queen's behavior of favoring the concubines added fuel to the fire of the already intriguing harem, which was going to make a big mess.

Because Queen Wang will not allow anyone to endanger her status, and after Concubine Xiao Shu became favored, her status rose day by day, which just became the biggest danger factor.

The facts are right in front of you. For example, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, when he canonized his four sons as kings, he made an exception to make an exception to crown Concubine Xiao's son Li Sujie as King Yong (equivalent to the mayor of Chang'an, the capital). This is obviously to promote Concubine Xiao Shufei's mother and son, which is amazing. If the time is ripe, Li Sujie is promoted to the crown prince, after the crown prince ascends the throne. His mother, Concubine Xiao Shufei, became the queen mother, and the era of the queen was coming to an end.

This is something that the king and queen cannot tolerate. She wanted to prevent this qiē from happening and snatch the emperor Li Zhi from Concubine Xiao's arms. But Li Zhi has lost interest in her. Since he can't win back Li Zhi's heart by his own appearance, he can only find a helper to bring down Concubine Xiao Shu.

Let the celebrity around the emperor, Concubine Xiao Shufei, fall out of favor, this matter is not small, it is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. As a result, Queen Wang couldn't eat or sleep well, and her body lost weight several times.

Just when Queen Wang was anxious, a small news came to her ears: Li Zhi was having an affair with a nun outside. In other words, Li Zhi is looking for a lover outside.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. When Li Zhi went to Ganye Temple to make incense. There were many people who followed, and these people must have seen the scene of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian crying passionately. As a result, people began to gossip, and it was natural for the matter of the emperor and nuns to spread in the harem.

Gossip about the emperor, this is going to kill the head. When Empress Wang heard this rumor, she did not defend the dignity of the emperor, but was furious, because she thought that the emperor was too disrespectful.

It is said that you should not pick wildflowers on the roadside. Although you are the emperor, you also have to pay attention to the influence. This kind of stealing should not happen to the emperor, because you are the king of a country, and you are an example for the people of the world.

But on second thought. Queen Wang felt that this was an opportunity for God to give her to create a zào. Since Li Zhi dared to have a tryst with this nun in the face of the world's disapproval, it shows that this nun is very attractive. If this nun is introduced into the palace, let her entangle Li Zhi. Then Concubine Xiao Shu will naturally be left out in the cold, and the emperor will definitely be a little more enthusiastic about himself because of this. Kill two birds with one stone, so far. The problem that has been bothering me for a long time is solved.

The queen saw a glimmer of hope, and she was once complacent about her cleverness.

To be on the safe side, Queen Wang told her mother, Liu, about her idea, and her mother agreed. Because of the big matter, I found my uncle Liu Zheng to discuss, and I also thought that this method was feasible.

So, Queen Wang quietly sent someone to ask Wu Zetian to keep her hair up, telling her that she would take her back to the palace in the future. This is a pie-in-the-sky thing, and years of pain, grief and grievances have finally paid off. Wu Zetian was overjoyed, and of course he complied with the order.

Gossip about the emperor, this is going to kill the head. When Empress Wang heard this rumor, she did not defend the dignity of the emperor, but was furious, because she thought that the emperor was too disrespectful.

It is said that you should not pick wildflowers on the side of the road, although you are the emperor, you also have to pay attention to the impact. This kind of stealing should not happen to the emperor, because you are the king of a country, and you are an example for the people of the world.

But after thinking about it, Queen Wang felt that this was an opportunity for God to give her a zào. Since Li Zhi dared to have a tryst with this nun in the face of the world's disapproval, it shows that this nun is very attractive. If this nun is introduced into the palace and let her entangle Li Zhi, then Concubine Xiao Shu will naturally be left out in the cold, and the emperor will definitely be a little more enthusiastic about himself and kill two birds with one stone, so that the problem that has plagued him for a long time will be solved.

This is a pie-in-the-sky thing, and years of pain, grief and grievances have finally paid off. Wu Zetian was overjoyed, and of course he complied with the order.

The reason why Queen Wang secretly ordered Wu Zetian to grow her hair was because she wanted to pick up a normal palace person, not a nun. If you take the nuns who had an affair with the emperor back to the palace, they will definitely be drowned by everyone's spittle.

In fact, there is a big hidden danger in Queen Wang's practice, that is, Wu Zetian is likely to become the second Concubine Xiao Shu after entering the palace, in this case, wouldn't Queen Wang make wedding clothes for others, didn't she think of this? To be honest, she also thought of it, but she overestimated her energy and underestimated Wu Zetian, thinking that a little nun couldn't turn the sky.

In fact, Queen Wang's practice is a desperate rush to the doctor, which is really a helpless move. Concubine Xiao Shufei posed the greatest threat to her, and she only had time to think about Wu Zetian after solving her urgent needs first.

Besides, Wu Zetian was only the concubine of the former emperor, and his status was low. There is no reliance in the court, and it will not cause any major hidden dangers after entering the palace. After replacing Concubine Xiao, we will deal with her. It's not a difficult thing to kill or chase.

In addition, there is also a very important point, if Wu Zetian is brought back from Ganye Temple, it will be to save her from the fire pit. Wu Zetian should be grateful, the grace of dripping water is reciprocated, Queen Wang doesn't want anything in return, as long as she doesn't become a mortal enemy with herself, it's OK.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. For the sake of profit, friends can also become enemies. In this gladiatorial arena of the harem. A friend is just a pretense, as long as it is beneficial to himself, he can step on the corpse of his companion and climb up.

Queen Wang's own wishful thinking is crackling, but her move is really stupid, and she is undoubtedly taking the initiative to give way to her lover or second wife. Any woman who is trapped by love is prone to being stupid. The queen who has done good deeds could not have imagined that she was digging her own grave, which is of course a later story.

In fact, this practice of Queen Wang belongs to rushing to the doctor when she is sick. It's really a helpless move. Concubine Xiao Shufei posed the greatest threat to her, and she only had time to think about Wu Zetian after solving her urgent needs first.

Besides, Wu Zetian is only the concubine of the former emperor, with a low status, and has no support in the court, and it will not cause any major hidden dangers after entering the palace.

In addition, there is also a very important point, if Wu Zetian is brought back from Ganye Temple, it will be to save her from the fire pit. Wu Zetian should be grateful, the grace of dripping water is reciprocated, Queen Wang doesn't want anything in return, as long as she doesn't become a mortal enemy with herself, it's OK.

Any woman who is trapped by love is prone to being stupid. The queen who has done good deeds could not have imagined that she was digging her own grave, which is of course a later story.

Time flies, and Wu Zetian's hair has grown to the neck after a year, and it has basically recovered its original appearance. During this time, she waited every day with hope and waited for the man in the court to summon her.

As long as there is hope, no matter what kind of predicament people are in, they will live a good life. So, learn to look forward in everything so that you will have a smile on your face. Wu Zetian is like this, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will hold on to it and let herself live in hope.

In July of the second year of Yonghui (651), Li Zhi's mourning period for Tang Taizong had expired, and his throne became more and more secure. It's time to take his beloved woman back to the palace, but he is still worried that public opinion will be unfavorable to him. After all, Wu Zetian was a nun, so he still couldn't find a good reason to talk to the courtiers about it.

Just when Li Zhi was distressed by this, a person he never dreamed of reached out to help, and this person was Queen Wang.

On this day, Queen Wang came to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, I already know your secret."

"What secrets can a widow have?"

"The emperor and the talented man of the first emperor, Wu Zetian, are in love, only one is in the palace and the other is outside the palace, can the emperor stand this kind of lovesickness?"

"You don't need to take care of the affairs of the widow, don't pretend here."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm here to help you, in this case, in order to avoid the spread of rumors in the palace, why don't you take Wu Zetian back to the palace?"

Could it be that the sun has come out of the west? To be honest, having lived under the same roof for so many years, this was the first beautiful sentence Li Zhi heard.

In Li Zhi's eyes, Queen Wang, who is the lord of the Six Palaces, has always been dignified and upright, and she will definitely say no to such a thing that violates morality. Unexpectedly, she offered to take Wu Zetian back to the palace, could it be that she was wearing colored glasses to look at people. Have you never seen the virtuousness of the queen and the king? The overjoyed Li Zhi didn't know what to say, and his attitude towards Queen Wang also changed greatly.

Look at Queen Wang. Receiving Wu Zetian back to the palace is just a clever move by her, and she will choose to abandon it after using Wu Zetian's chess piece. Now. Not only did she get a different look from her husband, but she also seemed to have seen Concubine Xiao Shufei and Wu Zetian fighting each other, and she reaped the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, Queen Wang couldn't help laughing, and then helped Li Zhi to work.

In this way, Wu Zetian obeyed the edict of Tang Gaozong, bid farewell to the Ganye Temple where she had lived for two years, and stepped into the gate of the palace again without much difficulty, which was the first step in her fate.

Life is so full of uncertainties. One moment it will lift you up to heaven, and the next it will throw you into hell. The days of heaven and hell, Wu Zetian has experienced them, which is too tormenting. Wu Zetian can't stand such a toss anymore, because the best years of a woman's life, she has almost wasted it. If you continue to toss like this, this life will be over, and the great ideals in your heart will become empty talk and nonsense.

Wu Zetian, who entered the palace for the second time, is 28 years old, and he is about to run for the third person. is considered an older young woman, and it has been a full 14 years since she first entered the palace. At the beginning, he was still a five-grade talent, but now he can only start from the bottom. When an ordinary palace person. This is inevitably too miserable, isn't it, is it that these 14 years of time have been wasted like this?

It doesn't matter if you're wasting your time, or you're spending your time like gold. Time leaves 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 couldn't see it anymore, she had become mature and sophisticated enough. I know the people of the harem in my heart.

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 could be with the prince or princess, and she would never live the dead silence and horror of Ganye Temple again.

Wu Zetian was unanimously recognized by the court, and 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. Queen Wang can't have children, which is the biggest regret in 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 and has no ambitions. 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, and his mother is from a humble background, so he is 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 Su Jie, he would not set up Li Zhong, and he would 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 in the court, Sun Wuji and others asked Tang Gaozong Li Zhi to play, and in desperation, Li Zhi had no choice but to issue an edict: "Establish Chen Wangzhong as the crown prince and pardon 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.

Ambition to take the back seat (to be continued......
