Asked how Li Tang's national fortune was, why did Li dare to call a spade a spade: Will someone take its place?

When Tang Ligang was founded, there was a saying among the people: Li Tang's imperial clan was not rich for three generations, and there would be a female ruler, King Wu, and the world would be prosperous. This worried the man who had just sat on the throne, so he grabbed Li and asked who was behind this prophecy. I killed him first to avoid endless troubles. But Li thinks it's providence. Even if you kill him, there will be a second person to succeed you to the throne, so it's no use telling Li Shimin.

In fact, this rumor sounds ridiculous. Now, from a scientific point of view, it may be the news that Wu Zetian deliberately released to the public after he ascended the throne. After all, it was the first generation of queens who ascended the throne, and some powerful men's groups would definitely not stop there, so they first wooed folk rumors and consolidated their political power. It is said that Li Shimin predicted that Wu Zetian was superior, and now Wu Zetian is superior. This is God's arrangement and the people can't refuse to accept it.

However, according to Records of the Historian, shortly after the accession to the throne, it was known that there was a folk prediction that "after Tang III, the female warrior king would win the world", and even the wise emperor could not let go of this blatant "rebellion". Li and Yuan Tiangang were called at once. They were both famous "fortune tellers" in the period and knew everything at home and abroad.

But in the face of Li's blatant "revelation", he dared not answer. For one thing, maybe he really didn't know. For another, since it was arranged by heaven, it was better to wait quietly, and there would be a second one after killing a traitor. This mentality prompted Li to keep his mouth shut and know that he can't go against God's will, so be it. Sure enough, in the generation of grandchildren, Wu Zetian reached the peak, leaving a scene of "Zhenguan legacy" in the history of China.
