Wu Zetian wanted to kill Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang only said a word, and Wu Zetian turned pale with fear.

Yuan Tiangang was a famous master of physiognomy in Tang Dynasty. He was a household name at that time, because he was good at divination and proficient in facial expressions, and he could judge whether it was good or bad according to the wind report. At the same time, there was a famous physiognomy master named Li, and both of them were highly valued by Tang Taizong and He because of their gossip deduction. However, it was this outstanding master of physiognomy who offended the later Wu Zetian and provoked Wu Zetian to execute him in great anger. How did he get rich in one sentence?

Relatively speaking, Yuan Tiangang is more famous. According to the official Book of Old Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang once regarded Wu Zetian as a baby. At that time, Yuan Tiangang, a master of Yi Studies, visited the Wu family. When he met Wu Zetian's mother Yang, he was shocked and said, This lady is destined to have a son, so Yang named her two sons Wu Hewu. Who knows Yuan Tiangang shook his head in succession, saying it wasn't them.

Later, Yang brought out Wu Zetian's sister (later Mrs. Han). Yuan Tiangang still shook his head and asked, does the lady have a son? In desperation, Yang had to take Wu Zetian, who was still in infancy, out to visit fortune-teller for Yuan Tiangang. When Yuan Tiangang saw this, he was shocked and said, If it is a woman, it will be unpredictable, and then the Lord of the world will be. Yuan Tiangang's prediction was indeed verified in the later historical process.

Wu Zetian was originally a talent of Emperor Taizong of Li Shimin. Because of her appearance, she was deeply loved by Li Zhi, the son of Emperor Taizong. Later, Emperor Taizong died of illness, and Wu Zetian was sent to Ganye Temple as a nun, together with other concubines. It was not until Tang Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne that she came to Ganye Temple and regained the title of Empress Wu Zetian, who was willing to burn incense, and was named the imperial concubine. At this point, Wu Zetian began to have a new understanding of power. Within a few years, Wu Zetian replaced Wang as the queen of the Tang Dynasty with the respect of one person and over ten thousand people.

Li Zhi in Tang Gaozong is sickly. Wu Zetian is in charge of all military affairs. Wu Zetian also took the opportunity to put cronies everywhere in North Korea to exclude dissidents. One of the most famous is the expulsion of Li Zhi's uncle Mowgli from the former state, which completely eradicated one of the biggest threats to his rule in North Korea.

Later, Li Zhi and Tang Gaozong died of illness. Wu Zetian deposed Li Xian of Tang Zhongzong and Li Dan of Tang Ruizong and became the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. She herself was the first emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, so she gave herself a strange name "dethroned", which means the sun and the moon are in the sky. Wu Zetian, who became emperor, asked Yuan Tiangang to tell her fortune. However, Yuan Tiangang turned her down. Wu Zetian was so angry that she insisted on the execution of Yuan Tiangang and implicated the three Yuan Tiangang families. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tiangang said a word at this time, which made Wu Zetian turn pale with fear and made later generations argue for thousands of years.

Yuan Tiangang said, "Your Majesty is addicted to prosperity and to decline!" ! According to the records in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, when Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, a huge stone fell from the sky and landed over Luoshui for several hours. There were eight characters on the huge stone, such as "Saint, Emperor Yongchang". In fact, this also explains why Wu Zetian changed Luoyang into the capital of the gods after she ascended the throne, and lived in Luoyang for a long time to listen to politics until she died in Luoyang Shangyang Palace in 705 AD at the age of 82.
