During those long nights of vigilance, the emperor's spirit was parked in the dark hall, and the Wu family's errand was to serve the new monarch. In the main hall, a huge plain candle is burned, and the famous incense of real wax is lit; Wu and Gaozong are often alone in the hall, in the main hall, chanting scriptures and offering on time, busy for a while, there is a period of leisure.

The Wu clan was well aware of Xinjun's weakness, so she wanted to use this opportunity to have a long talk with him before going to Ganye Temple to cut her hair and become a nun. In this long conversation, Gaozong promised to go to Ganye Temple to see her in the future.

At that time, the samurai heard that Mei Niang was going to enter the temple as a nun, so he hurriedly sent someone to pick up the family for a small gathering. The family reunited, reminiscing about the beginning, did not feel relatively crying. After everyone met, Wu Meiniang asked her mother Yang: "I heard that my father had a nephew who thought twice, why didn't you see him?" ”

Yang responded: "How can he compare to the beginning of the year, now he talks martial arts with many friends and friends all day long, wanders out every day, and always comes back drunk after eating." ”

Mei Niang said: "I forgot how old he is this year?" ”

Yang said: "I'm fifteen years old now. ”

As he was talking, Wu Sansi returned drunk and returned. Everyone had dinner, and when they saw their parents walking away, they walked to Mei Niang's side, and said drunkly: "My nephew sees my aunt, with green hair, how can I be willing to shave it down?" ”

Mei Niang was her own bone, and seeing that he was young, delicate, and lovable, she held Sansi in her arms. How do you know that Wu Sansi is not very old, but he is lustful and cowardly, he hooked Mei Niang's beautiful neck with one hand, leaned over her ear and asked, "Where does my aunt sleep?" ”

Mei Niang said: "It's in my mother's room." ”

Sansi said softly: "My nephew has a lot to ask my aunt, and I will accompany my aunt tonight." ”

Mei Niang was released from the palace, she was lonely and sad, and when she met this young man who was just starting to fall in love, she couldn't help but be moved, so she said: "If you have something to say about your parents falling asleep, you can go into the room again." ”

That night, Wu Sansi waited for his parents to fall asleep, quietly went into Aunt Mei Niang's room, opened Mei Niang's tent, and got in, which became a quail rebellion.

After a few days, the samurai seemed to be aware of it, afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly sent Mei Niang to Ganye Temple. In Mei Niang, she was just talking about loneliness, and she didn't dare to fall in love for a long time, so she cut her hair in Gankarma.

In the first year of Yonghui, that is, in 650 A.D., Gaozong lived up to the previous appointment, fortunately felt that the temple was incense, and privately ordered Mei Niang to grow her hair, and soon Mei Niang was taken back to the palace by Gaozong, worshiped as Zhaoyi, and won the favor of Gaozong. What a "triple jump"! She jumped from the "sixth-level talent" to the "fifth-level beauty", "fourth-level Jieyu" to the "third-level Zhaoyi". The Wu family entered the palace for the second time, and it was not easy, but now she began to shake her spirits and march towards the set goal.

Wu Zhaoyi first pointed the finger at Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, who were favored by Gaozong, and they slandered each other, but Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao were not her opponents at all, and in the end she chopped off her hands and feet and put them in a wine urn to make a "human bi", and soon Wu Meiniang's martial arts talent was promoted from the third-level Zhaoyi to the second-level concubine. Concubine Wu Chen's belly seems to be very competitive, and she has passed on the seeds to Gaozong one after another, and the eldest son Hong has been made the crown prince, while the queen and Concubine Xiao have no children.

So, in the sixth year of Yonghui, that is, in 655 AD, Gaozong abolished the queen as a concubine, and established Concubine Wuchen as the queen, and Gaozong called her the emperor and the queen, also known as the queen of heaven. From then on, she began to use her talents to destroy dissidents, whether it was an outsider or a relative, as long as anyone stood in her way, she would kill her! Whoever goes against me is dead!

And Gaozong has always been cowardly, so he had to let her come nonsense. She pestered Gaozong all day long, and Shen Myanmar (湎) sounded, making Gaozong described as withered, dizzy, unable to look at the court, and gradually became a myopic eye until he couldn't see the beautiful world clearly! The outside world is wonderful, and the outside world is helpless. Gaozong Li Zhi can only let the donkey go blind like this - let her (it) go.

As a result, the queen of heaven monopolized the government, shocked the world, and swept the rivers and lakes! Her political prowess is remarkable, and her wrists are as strong as steel! Under her decades of rule, the Tang Dynasty did not go into decline, which was not easy for any male emperor at the time. Even in "The Old Tang Book: Empress Zetian", I have to deny it:

Later, he was more resourceful and involved in literature and history. Since the emperor Xianqing, there have been many hardships and diseases, and the hundred divisions have been played, and they have all been entrusted to the queen of heaven to make a detailed decision. Since then, he has been assisting the state for decades, and his power is no different from that of the emperor, and he was called the 'two saints' at that time. ”

Gaozong reigned for 34 years, and his reign was not short among feudal emperors, but it was Empress Zetianwu who was really in charge of the government for at least 267 years, and Emperor Gaozong was just a puppet. In the days when Gaozong was sick and withered, Empress Wu, who was alone in power, felt lonely and unbearable, and in addition to the busy government affairs, she needed to adjust, and her sick husband could not satisfy this energetic woman at all. At that time, it was rumored that the palace was haunted, so the queen of heaven invited Luoyang Taoist Guo Xingzhen into the palace and did seven days and seven nights. When Empress Wu saw that Daoist Guo was handsome, she called him into the palace in the morning and evening, and waited for the queen on the bed.

This guy is actually a "sanctimonious" lewd! Guo Daochang became the face of the martial queen, and relied on the power of the queen to enter and exit freely in the palace and do misdeeds. saw the beautiful Gong E, but he wanted to flirt with obscenity. One day, when he met a little palace maid, he wanted to hug the "fire" and kiss his mouth, and happened to bump into Gaozong's henchman eunuch Wang Fusheng, and he was furious when he saw this, and immediately cut off the head of the beloved Taoist priest of the Empress Wu with a sword. Of course, Wang Fusheng did not escape the disaster of killing in the end.

Since the death of Daoist Guo, Wu Zetian has often missed and always been depressed. There is Jingzhao Mansion Yin (发yi

sound

ot yi yi, yi) and visited a Taoist priest with a high degree of Taoism and dedicated it to the queen. This Taoist priest's name is Ming Chongyan, and it is said that he is in his sixties when he cultivates in the mountains, and he looks like a twenty-year-old boy. This Taoist priest has hard bones, clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and claims to be an elixir that has cultivated for thousands of years, and can live to be a thousand years old. Empress Wu announced that he entered the queen's bedroom, preached the law, until the dead of night, he entered the dragon bed and phoenix tent, turned the dragon upside down the phoenix, and practiced the happy elixir together. In that blissful realm, almost carried away, the martial queen said in a trembling voice, I didn't expect you to be so brave, you are really a master, so on the pillow, worship Ming Chongyan as the right doctor. Then the Tianwu Empress can be regarded as putting on a "green hat" for the two saints of Taizong and Gaozong. Niang Xipi! It's like a mess.

In the second year of the Shang Dynasty, that is, in 675 AD, the crown prince Hong had been deposed, and Lixian was the crown prince. This prince Xian is the second son born to Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, but fortunately he was not born to her and outsiders! Li Xian has been brave and powerful since he was a child, and when he saw that this Ming Chongyan was filthy and chaotic in the court, he couldn't bear it, so he took a few brave warriors and quietly kidnapped Ming Chongyan and made him kneel in front of the prince. The prince asked him to confide his true feelings, but the Taoist priest was very proud and refused to confess. The samurai whipped him, but the Taoist priest couldn't bear the pain, so he had to admit that he was not a Taoist priest at all, but just a scoundrel in the Jingshi area, and his real age was only twenty-six years old. Prince Xian asked if he had committed adultery with the Queen of Heaven, but the fake Taoist priest just kowtowed and did not dare to admit it. This prince was very angry, so he went up in person and strangled Ming Chongyan's neck, but he used too much force, and the fake Taoist morale died. Well dead! The prince ordered him to be dragged out and tied to a stone and sunk into the lake, which was the evil anger in his heart.

The new favorite of the martial queen was lost again, and she was very angry. Secretly visited, knowing that it was the prince Xian, so that Tang Gaozong revealed the second year, that is, in 680 AD, he abolished Xian as a concubine, degraded Bazhou, that is, Bazhong County and City, Sichuan Province, and then set up his third son Zhe, that is, he became the prince. After poisoning his own eldest son, Empress Wu secretly forced his second son Xian to commit suicide in the first year of civilization, that is, in 684 AD, at the age of thirty-one. The heroic prince, who had commented on the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, was killed "due to rebellion" and died young. Later, in the second year of Li Xianshenlong, that is, in 706 AD, he moved to Shaanxi to accompany the burial of Qianling; In the second year of Li Dan Jingyun of Tang Ruizong, that is, in 711 AD, Fengxian was posthumously named the prince of Zhang Huai, and his wife Fang was buried with him, and the tomb was covered with a bucket shape.

"Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. Death to those who stand in my way! "Empress Wu is such a character, let alone taking away her love? Let her "Yin (sound) Dao" not be happy? No matter who stands in the way of her "Yin and Yang Dao", she will be killed! Even if you kill your own son and daughter, you don't hesitate to do it, you really eat a tiger girl! His grandma's! It's really angry to kill my storyteller! Xue Jia Ling said: But what does this have to do with me? But what does this have to do with me?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the first year of Hongdao, that is, in 683 AD, Gaozong, who is sick and incompetent, finally died at the age of 55 and reigned for 34 years. And Empress Zetianwu is now sixty years old, and she is five years older than her husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi! You say she doesn't belong to the family, who is in charge? Can you be her home? As the saying goes, "If a woman is in charge, the wall will fall and the house will collapse". But in the hands of this Wu Zetian, a female guy, what did you "plant"? But what does this have to do with me?

Therefore, Empress Wu was selected by Taizong to enter the harem at the age of fourteen, and she has spent forty-six spring and autumn days and nights in the palace. In the forty-six years of ups and downs, the Empress Wu has always come with the attitude of a strong and a winner, which can really be said to be the time to run and the soul to be blessed. From the talented person to Zhaoyi, from Zhaoyi to Concubine Chen, and from Concubine Chen to the queen, from the queen to the queen mother, and then to the queen mother, step by step, everything goes well. She has attained the highest status a woman can achieve in history. But she was not satisfied, and felt that being the queen mother was far less enjoyable than being the emperor, so she had to inch in→ and get Longwangshu.

In the second year of Gaozong's death, that is, in 684 AD, Zhongzong Li Xian and Ruizong Li Dan were abolished one after another, this Xian and Dan were both the sons of Empress Wu, she didn't care at all, she set herself up as the emperor and changed the name of the country to Zhou. In the seventh month of the year, the comet appeared in the west, shining brightly, with a tail more than 20 feet long, and it took 33 days before disappearing. Empress Wu then changed the name of the era to "Light House".

She felt that the name "Mei Niang" was really incommensurate with the empress's dignity, so she had to change her name again, but Chi felt that all the words were not worthy of her honorific title, so she made up a word: "曌", pronounced zhào, which means that she is like the sun and the moon hanging in the sky, shining on the world. Look! This Wu Zetian is multi-capable! She can "understand words"! I simply see myself as a combination of "sun and moon" with "yin and yang"! The great dictionary of history has to set up another word for it, and "曌" is nothing more than "zhao".

The current Emperor Zetianwu, wearing a crown on his head and wearing a robe, has a monopoly on power, is proud of the world, and has become the first female emperor in history to change the dynasty.
