Why didn't Li Shimin kill Wu Zetian in the face of the prophecy of "female warrior king"

Shortly after Wu Zetian was born, Yuan Tiangang, a master of physiognomy in the Tang Dynasty, came to the official residence of his father's samurai. At that time, Wu Zetian, an infant, dressed as a boy. Yuan Tiangang was shocked: "The dzi beads have a phoenix neck, which is extremely expensive. If it is a girl, be the master of the world! " After that, Master Yuan, regardless of gender, left the samurai in a daze.

Wu Zetian was elected to the palace at the age of fourteen. If she is beautiful, there is no doubt about it, otherwise she will not be elected to the palace. Emperor Taizong liked her very much and named her "Wu Meiniang". However, she was named a gifted scholar, ranking fifth in the harem, and was not promoted until the death of Emperor Taizong. Obviously, her beauty has not reached the level that all men are obsessed with. At least in front of Emperor Taizong, Wu Zetian's beauty is not enough to fundamentally change her fate.

According to legend, when Wu Zetian was a talented person, she often rode horses and shot arrows, and once helped Emperor Taizong tame a fierce horse. From this small matter, Wu Zetian's unique wisdom and courage can be fully reflected. But for Emperor Taizong, he admired women who were polite and dutiful, not talented women like Wu Zetian. This can also explain why Wu Zetian was only a talented person for more than ten years from entering the palace to the death of Emperor Taizong.

In his later years, during his reign, Li Shimin got a secret book, in which he wrote that Li Jiangshan would perish after three generations, but it would be inherited by a woman named Wu.

As a generation of emperors, the most important thing for Li Shimin is to expand his country. After reading this secret book, Li Shimin began to drink tea and eat rice. Li Shimin didn't want to think that the world he was fighting for would fall into the hands of others, who were still women. Li Shimin decided to find this woman named Wu and kill her to avoid future trouble.

First, I started looking for a woman named Wu in the palace. Later, Li Shimin discovered that this woman was Wu Zetian. Before trying to get rid of her, a minister recommended Li, a famous fortune teller at that time.

The minister hopes that no decision will be made, and Li will make plans for his divination. Later, Li was summoned and told the contents of Shi Mi's book. After reading it, Li replied that the prophecy in this secret book is true. This woman surnamed Wu is also a palace person, and then this woman becomes king 40 years later, and she becomes a generation of rulers. During her reign, in order to consolidate her power, she will start to slaughter the descendants of the Li family.

Li Shimin after hearing this, nature is flew into a rage. However, Li Hou said that this woman surnamed Wu was born to the emperor, which is an unchangeable fact. If we kill this woman against God's will now, many innocent people may be implicated, and then others will rob the country. In the end, the descendants of the Li family may die more.

After listening to Li's words, I made a careful analysis. According to the forecast, it will take decades for this woman surnamed Wu to finally rule this country. There may be many changes in these decades. It is better to wait and see, which may be more secure. And Li Shimin's decision finally fulfilled Wu Zetian's words.

"Tai Ping Guang Ji" also recorded a more bizarre statement, saying that after Li Guanxing, Emperor Taizong asked him to go to the palace to identify the rumored one. Li said, there are too many women in your majesty's harem, and I'm afraid my eyesight is dim. Emperor Taizong said, isn't it easy? Immediately put the imperial secretary into a team of 100 people, and let Li see which team this person is in. Li refers to the first team.

Taizong said that there are too many goals, so refine them! Then, the hundred people were divided into two groups, each with 50 people, and Li He pointed out the other group. Wu Zetian is in this group. Emperor Taizong thought that fifty people were still too many. Let Li speak more clearly, but Li said that this secret should not be revealed, and let Emperor Taizong guess for himself. How can I guess what Emperor Taizong said? Besides, there's no need to bother. Killed all 50 people. But Li said it was against God's will, and I'm afraid the consequences would be more serious. In the end, Emperor Taizong didn't do this, but he kept a heart of prevention.

It doesn't matter whether he saves his life or not, so someone will always be the scapegoat. who is it? This man, surnamed Li Mingjun, is from Xuanwu Gate. Xuanwu Gate is the main north gate of Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty, guarding the residence of the emperor, and its position is very important. Emperor Taizong laid an ambush in Xuanwu Gate, killed his brother Li and his brother Li Yuanji, and then forced his father to abdicate by force and became emperor himself. This event is the famous change of Xuanwu Gate in history. Therefore, Xuanwu Gate has always been valued by people, and its commanders are very brave.

Li Junxian's post station is in Xuanwu Gate, and his post station is General Zuo Wuwei, one of the Sixteen Guards in Tang Dynasty. There are officials and positions, Li Junxian has a title, and his title is Duke of Five Companies. And he himself is from Wu 'an, that is, from Wu 'an City, Hebei Province today. General Zuo Wuwei, commander of Xuanwu Gate, Duke of Wulian County and Wu 'an people have all used the word "Wu". That's not enough. What really killed him was what he said.

One day, Emperor Taizong was very happy and held a banquet for the military commanders in the palace. When the wine was hot, Taizong wanted to liven up the atmosphere and said, Don't sit and tell jokes like this. Each newspaper has its own nicknames to make everyone laugh. The military commanders responded one after another and gave nicknames in the newspaper, which was very strange. When he arrived in Li Junxian, he said, "My nickname is Wuniangzi." This burst into laughter. A burly, bearded general, nicknamed Wu Niangzi, is the name of a little woman, which is very uncoordinated. Everyone laughed, except one who couldn't laugh.

Emperor Taizong suddenly remembered the prophecy of "Queen Wu". Xuanwumen Shoujiang, General Zuo Wuwei, Duke of Wulian County, Wu 'an, and also a military commander! He thought this man might want to rebel. So before long, he found an excuse to kill Li Junxian. This time, Emperor Taizong breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the matter was over and there was no need to pursue it. Wu Zetian escaped.

Is this true or not? Some people think that it is the product of the God-making movement before and after Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor. She wants to promote herself: I am a destiny, and the king will not die. Even at such a critical moment, my name will come out and someone will come out as my scapegoat. In order to settle this matter, after Wu Zetian became emperor, she also solemnly rehabilitated Li Junxian.
