What imperial edict did Wu Zetian make before she died, so that she could be the daughter-in-law of the Li family again?

Before she died, Wu Zetian wrote an imperial edict, just 10, and became the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

In feudal society, men are superior to women, and advocating women's lack of talent is virtue.

Women live a good life and have no worries about food and clothing. It seems that there are only two ways. The first is to be born in a big family, and the second is to marry into a big family. It is almost impossible for her to become a master on her own.

Note that this is almost the same, not absolute, but there are exceptions, such as Mulan.

She disguised herself as a man on her own and made a name for herself. Finally, she was named "General Filial Piety" by Emperor posthumous title of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Mulan is only a female image in ancient literary works. There is no answer to whether it really exists in history, but there are about four women who can be the prototype of Mulan.

It doesn't matter. The important thing is that Mulan has become a legend.

Of course, there are more legendary women in history than Mulan. They even mastered the supreme power of a dynasty by virtue of women's bodies, such as Lv Zhi in the Han Dynasty, Xiao Chuo in the Liao Dynasty and Cixi in the Qing Dynasty.

However, compared with Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty (Wu Zhou), these three people are still inferior. After all, Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor and became the first and only female emperor in history.

The story of Wu Zetian is legendary. She is a born politician. From talented people to the queen, from the queen to the emperor, it seems that no one has had this experience except Wu Zetian.

She was 67 years old when she became emperor, then became emperor in 15 and lived to be 82 years old. Wu Zetian made an imperial edict with only 10 before she died. Life is short. After the imperial edict came into effect, she became Li's daughter-in-law.

So what are the legendary deeds of Wu Zetian, and what are the contents of the imperial edicts she issued before her death?

Let's watch together.

Yuan Tiangang: If the child is a woman, she must be the master of the world. At the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, there was a very famous metaphysician and astronomer Yuan Tiangang, who was later accepted as a think tank by Li Shimin. According to legend, this person is very good at "Feng Jian". What's his skill? He can tell good from bad by listening to the wind and direction. Besides, he is good at reading faces, which is really mysterious.

At that time, in Chang 'an, all the dignitaries wanted to meet Yuan Tiangang. After all, everyone wants to know the future, and when Wu Zetian was still in infancy, her mother was honored to meet Yuan Tiangang.

When Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian's mother, he was shocked and said, "If your wife is expensive, there will be a baby, as contained in" On the Continuation of the World ":

Yuan Tiangang's good looks, and then it was just dawn, and it was just dawn, saying that his mother said that Mrs. Gu Fa was going to have a son.

At this time, Wu Zetian's mother had given birth to two sons, and quickly ordered people to call them out and show them to Yuan Tiangang. The conclusion is that being an official is not expensive.

Wu Zetian's mother was very sad when she heard this, and hurriedly called her daughter Wu Shun (later named Mrs. Han) out. Yuan Tiangang shook his head repeatedly after reading it, saying that this woman is expensive and bad for her husband.

Finally, Wu Zetian's mother ordered Wu Zetian dressed as an infant to show it to Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang was shocked after reading it, saying that the child has a dragon pupil and a phoenix neck and is extremely rich. It's a pity that it's a boy, if the girl must be the master of the world.

In this way, Wu Zetian began to grow up slowly with legend, and was later called into the palace by Li Shimin, and Wu Zetian's legendary road began.

Li Shimin: Someone wants to steal my Tang Dynasty and kill all suspicious people. Isn't it good that Wu Zetian didn't attract the attention of Li Shimin after being called into the palace by Li Shimin? Think about it, too. Wu Zetian was only 14 years old when she entered the palace, while Li Shimin was almost 40 years old, with three thousand harems. Naturally, she won't have much interest in Wu Zetian.

In fact, before Wu Zetian entered the palace, Li Shimin had learned that someone was going to rob him of his land in the Tang Dynasty. In the early years of Zhenguan, Venus Taibai appeared many times in the daytime, and the Taishi ordered Li to say, "The mistress is prosperous. At this time, there are rumors among the people that after Tang III, Xiaosan won the world. "

Although Emperor Taizong didn't quite believe it, he still had a knot in his heart. After all, he didn't know how to write the word science at that time. Later, I heard that General Zuo Wuwei, who was guarding Xuanwu Gate, had a nickname called Wuniangzi, and his official birthplace was all "Wu". Li Shimin was on pins and needles. Finally, I found a charge for him and killed him.

"Zi Tongzhi Ji Jiantang" records like this:

The word "Wu" was used to describe feudal cities that were envied by monarchs and hated by them. Later, it became the secretariat of Huazhou ... It was suggested to play with the traffic that the monarch envied and the demon people. The plot was unscrupulous, and the monarch envied the whole town, so he lost his home.

So, I wanted to get rid of all suspicious people to protect his Tang Dynasty, but what I never expected was that this "Wu" was Wu Zetian who was later called into the palace by myself.

Wu Zetian: If you go to the emperor, you will be called the Great Sage Queen. I am still the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Wu Zetian was able to seize the opportunity. Without Li Shimin's attention, she succeeded in climbing the relationship with Prince Li Zhi. Coincidentally, Li Zhi also held Wu Zetian in his hand, and later not only gave her the queen, but also gave her all the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, Wu Zetian reached the highest point of power step by step, and then she became emperor herself. This dragon chair is 15 years old.

In the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian was ill and bedridden. Taking this opportunity, Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi and his ministers staged a coup and led more than 500 imperial troops into Miyagi, forcing Wu Zetian to abdicate.

But the helpless Wu Zetian finally had to make an imperial edict before she died, with only 10 words:

Go to the emperor and call the Great Sage Queen.

Zitongzhi Jijiantang records that heaven collapsed in Shangyang Palace at the age of eighty-two, and the legacy was: to go to the imperial name and call it the Great Sage Queen.

In this way, although Wu Zetian was reluctant, she surrendered her power and returned the country to the Li family, and she became the daughter-in-law of the Li family again before she died.

However, the identity of the daughter-in-law did not last long, and she died. I just don't know, if Wu Zetian has a chance to see Li Shimin and Li Zhi, will she feel guilty?

Maybe even Wu Zetian doesn't have the answer to this question. The wordless tablet she set for herself seems to be the best explanation.
