Chapter 35: Wu Zetian: Destiny
Wu Zetian looked at everyone with a sneer.
The ministers were sweating profusely, and the hall fell into silence again, and no one objected. They knew that it was useless to oppose it, before the light curtain appeared, Wu Zetian's fierce approach had already made everyone dare not speak, and the words in the light curtain were simply a tiger for her, and if she objected, she was afraid that she would be labeled as violating the mandate of heaven.
A farce ended, and the ministers dispersed.
And here, Ji Xi continued, "Although we all know that the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is very high, but if Wu Zetian wants to be the emperor, there will still be great obstacles, one is that she was not the Li family in the first place, if she ascends the throne, she will usurp power, and her female identity is the biggest obstacle." No matter how high the status of women in ancient times, under the long-term nourishment of male superiority and inferiority, women were still born inferior to men. ”
Even if she had ruled with Tang Gaozong before she ascended the throne and was made a diva, she subtly made everyone slowly accept the fact that she was in power. But when he ascended the throne, he was still opposed by many people, and these opposing voices came from stubborn old ministers, from the Li clan, and many border forces that were eyeing each other. ”
"However, we all know that Wu Zetian is definitely not a compromising character, and after ascending the throne, in order to maintain his rule, Wu Zetian quickly implemented a series of measures."
……
The barrage flashed all kinds of popular science about Wu Zetian: "Wu Zetian has always been a ruthless person, who still remembers that story, when Tang Taizong, Wu Zetian went to tame the horse, she took a knife and directly gagged the horse, saying that if you can't tame, you don't need to stay." ”
"So in the legend, in order to frame the queen Wang, it is true that he killed his daughter."
"I don't know, but I think that Wu Zetian's ambition was more than just being a queen at the beginning, especially after returning from the temple, her ambition gradually became obvious."
"In any case, being able to ascend to the throne coveted by thousands of people in the end proves that Wu Zetian has something, and in the fifteen years of her reign, she has also done many things that have made historical contributions, such as opening martial arts, palace examinations, etc. She ascended the throne, not like in the harem battle, only some caution and wisdom, but really has the ability to govern the country. ”
……
In the luxurious and magnificent palace, Wu Zetian looked at the light curtain, the hall was silent, and the needles could be heard, and there were two historians standing beside her, and her subordinates kept recording the barrage and what Ji Xi said word for word.
Wu Zetian propped his chin, his eyes were not shocked, but in fact, his heart was already turbulent.
Even if she didn't want to care, she still couldn't help but care about the evaluation of future generations, her palms were already slightly sweaty, although she didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but she had already thought a lot in her heart.
Only she knows how much sadness and pain she has suffered along the way, and even fell into a deep crisis several times and died in Huangquan, but in the end, she turned the danger into a disaster, looking back at the ups and downs of the past, she was not afraid of the lack of heart, and all the hardships that could be overcome were stepping on the board.
What doesn't kill her will only make her stronger.
Everything made her a little more exquisite, and she got to this position step by step, not by luck, but by her own ability. And those abilities strengthened her mind to become the emperor.
