Foreword to the listing

Many readers asked if it was Wu Zetian who asked the prototype. Yes.

Actually, I was originally going to write the story of Wu Zetian directly in the context of the Tang Dynasty, and I have even written the first ten chapters. Later, it was changed to an overhead, because I didn't dare to write directly in history. Although I have read some related books, there are still too many people and things in that dynasty that I don't know about them, and I don't dare to write at will to mislead you.

So I thought about it and changed it to an overhead.

In this way, I also dare to let go of my hands and feet to create a second creation, to create an unusual, an emperor through the ages.

This is the only female emperor in the 5,000-year history of China.

I am very glad that there is such a strange woman in the land where I grew up. Let's talk more about her.

Read the New Tang Dynasty books and read the history of the early Tang Dynasty. I had to be shocked by the woman Wu Zetian.

Not only because she is the only unprecedented empress in China, but also because of her ruthlessness, her determination, and her fierce momentum of blocking and killing Buddhas.

She was also a lively and playful girl, and when she was exhausted by the deep palace, only ** was left, she was like Shura coming.

The death of the first daughter was a stepping stone for her to become empress, and the death of the first eldest son was on the eve of taking power, and then she logically stepped on Hiroshi's corpse to approach the center of power. If there is another son who stands in the way, what if he has the ability and ambition? Exile is. After the exile, they were sent to be hanged. This is the fate of the second son, Zhang Huai Prince Xian.

In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the children of the second son cannot be kept. The two young sons were beaten to death with rods every day.

What is a daughter-in-law? Because she didn't like the mother of the third son, the princess, she starved to death. The fourth son, who was once loved by thousands of people, is also pinched and manipulated in the palm of his hand.

Whoever comes near, he will be killed. Including the princess and concubine Dou.

She is a qualified emperor, after breaking off love.

She has enough patience to hunt for everything she wants. Can be disguised as a good wife and mother. It's like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity, and it has grown a well-behaved and cute cat.

After the situation stabilized, she put down the sword she had picked up because of **. Then, she became a true monarch.

Knowing people and being good at their duties, reforming the imperial examinations, selecting the best and the most competent, adjusting the three-province system, vigorously promoting scholars from poor families, appointing governors to strengthen local supervision, and consolidating centralized power.

She re-entered the Shike, and the scholars of the world especially needed to rely on the imperial examination to become an official The vast number of Shu Hanzi were devoted to creation, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Chinese history was nurtured in Si. In the Wu and Zhou dynasties, it was the era of the beginning of literature and art, and the literary style of the Southern Dynasties, which was "more expensive than the Qing Dynasty", and the style of the Northern Dynasties, which was "more important than temperament", were integrated, and the soul of the Tang Dynasty characterized by a romantic, elegant, and magnificent atmosphere was initially formed.

During her reign, a large number of heroic and talented outstanding literati emerged, such as the four friends of the article known as "Cui Li Sudu", and the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty who "died with his body and fame, and did not waste the rivers and lakes for eternity". Among them, the most noteworthy are Chen Ziang, who swept away the legacy of the Southern Dynasty and created the ancient literature movement, as well as the Song Zhiwen and Shen Yan periods, who completed the finalization of poetry. From both the content and the situation, they made full preparations for the upcoming poems of the Tang Dynasty that would be like the tide of the Qiantang River.

Let us think of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in those years, in fact, it is not in the vast territory, not in the style of the Celestial Empire where "all nations are clothed and crowned". It lies in Li Bai's poems and Wang Wei's paintings. lies in Wang Han's chic and bold lying on the battlefield, and in Li Yishan's incorrigible romance and affection. When tens of thousands of folk women sang and danced in the suburbs, the bright and moving smiles of the peony in Luoyang, the bright moon in Yangzhou, the pipa on the Qingjiang River, the drunken ancient sword, the smoke willow and the white bird, these scenes constitute our beloved Tang Dynasty. The dynasty of poetry.

Flipping through the poems left by the Tang people, they are either cold, bold, elegant, or tranquil, which is a song that makes us unconsciously respond with tears and emotions. Thousands of years of time have passed. It still comforts our lonely hearts.

Rise and fall for thousands of years. Today's Tang poems, which dazzle us like peonies blooming, and even the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, cannot but be said to be related to the system of taking scholars by literature pioneered by Emperor Wu.

It may be that I can't be such a woman, so I think such a woman is extremely attractive to me. The kind of toughness and courage that ordinary people can't match, as well as ruthlessness and determination.

I also wanted to set the heroine in the book like this, but then I thought about it, it was too ruthless. It's so ruthless that I'm a little scared if you have a deep understanding of Wu Zetian. But if it is written that everyone likes a cold-hearted and kind-hearted person, and a cold-hearted person kills all the way to become an emperor? Her heart, at the age of twenty-seven, has never softened since returning to the palace from Ganye Temple.

can't even be cold and kind-hearted, let alone the gentle and kind little white flowers set in some film and television dramas. Well, there will only be no bones left.

So the heroine is set to be, I wasn't going to let her be a kind person in the first place.

So, here, I want to say that if you can accept such a setting, let's continue to read on.
