Chapter 187 Wu Zetian ascended to the throne
Li Zhi: You kid, you have won a reward, and you still want it, and I am on the list.
Li Shimin: Childish slave, don't speak honestly, you are on the list, it is better to let this kid be on the list, let a woman be the emperor, I don't know what to say about you.
"I have changed the tenth emperor, it is a female emperor, I guess who it is, needless to say!"
Zhao Kuangyin: Although the empress is meritorious, she does not do well in her later years, and she is not good at military affairs.
"But Emperor Song Taizu, you are the ninth!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: Haha! Slap it in the face! Just said that the empress is not worthy, look at your later dynasties, it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty!
Queen Ma: The empress is on the list, I think it's very good, although her merits are not too high, but she hasn't done anything too outrageous, compared to Emperor Kangxi, and the only female emperor, I think this tolerance should be higher.
Qin Liangyu: The changes in the Song Dynasty should not be blamed on Taizu, what happened later was also after his younger brother ascended the throne, I can also be regarded as a grievance for Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, but I don't have any idea about the tenth place of the empress, so I just rushed that she was the only female emperor, and I also felt that it was no problem to be on the list.
Qin Shi Huang: I also want to know how this female emperor ascended to the throne, no matter how mediocre she was in the later period, in my opinion, she is stronger than half of the emperors.
Everyone thought it was no problem, and a few people from the Qing Dynasty were killed.
Qianlong wanted to cry without tears, he still thought that he could also take the throne, everyone beat the Qing Dynasty like this, and he directly missed the outstanding emperor.
And Kangxi is old face is flushed, he is already embarrassed when some places are talked about, to Lichu's remorse, and then to the silence in the back, he himself feels unworthy.
Fortunately, he is only thirty now, and everything has come in time, and it seems that the position of the prince must be decided for the fourth child as soon as possible, and they can't be allowed to fight indiscriminately, as well as Heshen and them......
"Redefine the Ten Outstanding Emperors, the Tenth Emperor - Empress Wu Zetian."
"Everyone understands the degree of chaos in the Tang Dynasty, let's not talk about the merits first, let's talk about how Wu Zetian became the emperor first."
"When talking about Wu Zetian, we have to start from the early years of the Tang Dynasty."
"This is to be said from Wu Zetian's father, Wu Shi Tong, the ancestor of Wu Shi Tong was also a wealthy family, and there were high-ranking officials such as assassins and generals during the Northern Wei Dynasty, but after entering the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it gradually declined, and the Wu family not only did not keep the class, but fell into a mess."
"When Wu Shi Tong grew up, he had no official to do, so he had to do business and make a living, and it was not until the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui that he exchanged his property for the position of the head of the Yingyang Mansion."
(This is the military position of the government soldier system, which is nine products and is in charge of one hundred people.) )
"If everything is normal, this kind of person will either spend money to eliminate disasters or die on the battlefield in troubled times, but this person is unusual, because he met Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang State."
"When Li Yuan first arrived in Taiyuan, he often led troops out of the city to suppress bandits."
"After the battle, he likes to go to his new friend Samurai Tong's house for a few drinks, and Samurai Tong does what he likes and keeps spending money on Li Yuan."
"It may really be a ruined family to relieve difficulties, Li Yuan did not forget the warm-hearted warrior Tong when he raised the army, therefore, he got a position in the army, and after entering Chang'an, he was named Guanglu Doctor and Taiyuan County Duke, and then he was promoted all the way to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and Ying Guogong."
"Although he is not in the core circle of power, at least he has a ticket to the upper class, this is a dangerous speculation, after the samurai Tong recognized it, he picked up all the chips and pressed it on Li Yuan, and exchanged his life for the jump in the family class."
"The god of luck favors, he bet right, this is very important, if there is no struggle and speculation of Wu Shitong, it is impossible to marry the daughter of the Sui Dynasty clan, Yang, and Li Shimin has no chance to hear about Wu Zetian's beauty."
"In 635, Samurai Tong died, and his ex-wife Xiangli gave birth to two sons, and the brothers and sons were very unkind to see their stepmother and three younger sisters, sneering at every turn, and bullying their mother and daughter in different ways."
"Wu Zetian's girlhood, how miserable."
After she lived in dire straits for two years, Li Shimin's edict arrived, and in 637, Tang Taizong Li Shimin heard that the second daughter of Wu Shi Tong was beautiful, and ordered the second daughter of the Wu family to enter the palace and give her the name "Wu Mei". ”
I don't know if it was the wind blown by the relatives of the Yang family to Li Shimin, but Wu Zetian knew that this was her way out, "Serving the Holy Son of Heaven, how do you know that it is not a blessing?" ””
"Anyway, it's not good to live at home, it's better to be like my father, abandon everything, enter the palace and give it a go, no matter how bad it is, you can have a full meal, so the 14-year-old girl entered the court."
"In this way, Wu Zetian, who was only 14 years old, entered the palace, and the warrior Tong at this time also passed away for two years."
"Entering the palace is the starting point of Wu Zetian's life, just like her father, this is a gamble, winning Wu Zetian's high position, Ronghua all his life, losing, she may become a victim of the concubines of the harem, she won the bet, and she won outrageously."
"In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Wu Zetian had just turned 14 years old, but he was already slim, although he was still young, but because of his extraordinary beauty and good conversation, he was selected into the palace and was named a "talented person". ”
Soon after entering the palace, Taizong saw that she was beautiful and understanding, so he gave her the name "Wu Mei". ”
"This emperor is also a master who likes the new and hates the old, and he doesn't cherish it if he gets it, plus there are so many people in the harem, Wu Zetian is slowly being snubbed."
"And because the age gap with Tang Taizong is too big, I usually can't say a few words, but when I met Li Zhi, it was different."
"Wu Zetian fell in love with Li Zhi, who was about the same age as himself, and the two who were familiar with each other developed a relationship, and the two often frowned in private in the future."
"In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong died, and all the concubines who did not come out were sent to Chang'an Ganye Temple to cut their hair and become nuns."
"Wu Zetian, the clear bitterness of the temple, was very uncomfortable, and she took advantage of the time when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to the temple to pay respects, so she secretly bought the palace people to deliver love letters."
After going back and forth, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi rekindled their old relationship, and Li Zhi re-summoned Wu Zetian to the official three years later, and was named "Zhaoyi". ”
"Wu Zetian was extremely favored by Tang Gaozong, and he won the battle in the harem, and he was in the limelight for a while, so he had the idea of entering the middle palace."
"However, the abolition of the queen is a major matter of the country, and there is nothing wrong with the queen at that time, although Tang Gaozong loves Wu Zetian, he can't make her the queen."
"Queen Wang has no children under her knees, and she loves children very much, but Wu Zetian gave birth to a little princess, who looks like Yuxue cutely, and is very liked by Queen Wang, and often comes to take care of her."
"One day, after the queen came to see the little princess, Wu Zetian personally killed the little princess, and then cried to Tang Gaozong that the queen killed the princess.
Hearing this, everyone was incredulous, so they killed their daughter for the queen's position.
