"How old did Zhao Yun live?" Girl Wu Zetian reveals why young and beautiful Wu Zetian can't be spoiled?

How beautiful is Wu Zetian? /kloc-What happened more than 0/000 years ago is hard to realize. In the Tang Dynasty, there were Zhang Xuan, scrolls in the late Tang Dynasty, and Zangu seal cutting in the Ming Dynasty. They are all painted in the image of Wu Zetian, but they are all fictional, and they are all images after middle age, which is not enough. Clues can only be found in the words of ancient books.

Wu Zetian once said that her daughter Princess Taiping was "self-centered". First of all, she looks like herself. What does Princess Taiping look like? According to historical records, it is "rich, generous and generous". Full figure, big face. This appearance is the standard beauty embryo of Tang Dynasty. Besides, Cui Rong, a poet and scholar in Tang Zhongzong, once said that Wu Zetian was a "strange moon". It is also the "Phoenix Neck" in Yuan Tiangang's story. These statements were made by Wu Zetian's contemporaries, and they were all afraid that they would not be too outrageous. In short, her appearance can at least make people shine.

It seems so, but what? Said that she was "resourceful and dabbled in literature and history"; The Book of Old Tang Dynasty says that she is "strong but not poor" and "the city is in deep pain and is not ashamed of great changes." Cleverness or cunning is one of the two qualities. In short, there are many tricks. The key lies in tolerance, shrewdness and ambition after dabbling in literature and history. This is the basic condition for her future rise.

Especially the decline of her family after her "adulthood" greatly enhanced her "tolerable" side.

She is handsome and talented. When she reached marriageable age, Wu Zetian became more famous in society. It is said that in Jingzhou, not only the name of Wudu spread to Lingnan, but also the reputation of Yang and Mei Erdong spread to Qinzhou.

Wu Zetian has now entered a powerful interpersonal circle, and Yang's relatives in the royal family are not just Princess Guiyang. At that time, this relationship circle will take effect, and there may be a strange "butterfly effect".

In the year when their mother and daughter returned to Beijing, that is, in June of the tenth year of Zhenguan, something happened in the palace, which brought an unexpected turning point to Wu Zetian's fate. In this case, Emperor Taizong's wife, Grandson, fell ill.

The eldest grandson is a good queen, and her political role is to help her husband become a good emperor. After her death, Emperor Taizong was heartbroken, and even thought that his wife was a big talker. For various reasons, the palace has been empty since then, and no one else has been elected as the queen.

After the death of the eldest grandson, it seems that the personnel problem in the harem should be solved. First, the number of concubines is too small, which is inconsistent with the system. According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor had four wives and nine concubines, and these fourteen women were the official wives of the emperor. There are also nine jade, female calligraphy in the palm, etiquette. Then there are four beautiful women and five talented people, who are responsible for offering sacrifices, giving banquets, dressing and driving. The women below Jieyu are actually female officials in charge of various affairs in the palace and belong to low-level concubines. The quota of this huge team composed of women and female officials is now seriously dissatisfied. Secondly, the whole maid-in-waiting team is also short of manpower, because many of them have been married several times before, and many of them have left and need to be supplemented urgently.

So internal affairs started looking for someone. Find ladies-in-waiting to choose from folk women, and find low-level concubines to choose from government officials.

Due to the special circumstances in the palace, the requirements for concubines are very strict. They should not only serve the daily life of the emperor, but also have management ability. So they need to have looks, talents and high family background.

Under normal circumstances, the choice of concubines is selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and approved by the emperor, but Emperor Taizong sometimes appoints important people according to rumors.

This time, he called Wu's second girl a talent. Building a mountain is not negotiable!

What is Emperor Taizong's name Wu Erdong? [/s2/]

Two important people contributed to this. Yang Shidao was the first person to recommend Wu Zetian. Yang Shidao was a servant then. His power is equivalent to that of the prime minister. He is also a relative of the royal family. He was very close to Emperor Taizong and met in the palace every day. In order to give his niece a bright future, he strongly recommended the talents of Wu Zetian to Emperor Taizong. Besides, Princess Guiyang is still talking, so that Emperor Taizong can hear her name first and then see her face. In addition, Emperor Taizong had some nostalgia for the samurai, so this matter was quickly solved.

Another key figure is Yang Jieyu. This Yang Jieyu is the cousin of Wu Zetian and the princess of Li Yuanji, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong. In the change of Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Taizong killed Li Yuanji, but sealed Yuanji's wife Yang. Resources should not be wasted.

Yang Jieyu, this woman is not shallow, and she is probably very likable. After the death of the King of Qi, the eldest grandson saw her pity and took her to live in the palace. Emperor Taizong took advantage of this situation and included her in the ranks of little wives. After the death of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong wanted to re-establish her as the queen. Unfortunately, Wei Zhi and other important officials objected, saying that she was "afraid of being laughed at by the world", and this dream did not come true.

Yang Jieyu was saddened by this, and held a grudge against several important ministers, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. In order to strengthen her power in the harem, she chose a concubine and thought of her cousin Wu Erdong.

The combination of the above two forces immediately decided the future fate of Wu Zetian.

On this day, the ambassador to China summoned and read a letter. His mother, Yang, was too surprised to speak. After Special Envoy China left, Yang suddenly burst into tears, as if the sky were falling. "How to do this?"

I know that Yanghou Temple is an arena. I won't be able to reunite with my family often when I go there. I don't know if this is a curse or a blessing. If a son of a bitch marries at ordinary times, he can at least be decent and affectionate. When she entered the palace, everyone was competing for favor, so don't expect a comfortable life. If you don't enter the emperor's eyes, won't this life be over?

According to "Biography of Wu Hou in the New Tang Dynasty", Wu Zetian's attitude towards this matter is completely different from her mother's. When the mother said goodbye to her, she said calmly, "You are happy when you see the son of heaven. Why are you sad for the child?"

This record, without his testimony, is untrue, but it is very consistent with Wu Zetian's consistent understanding.

She knows that changing her destiny is a battle. Although entering the palace is only a servant, it is close to the highest power center after all. Man-made things happen. As long as there is love, there may be a chance to restore the family's right to speak.

After Wu Zetian entered the palace, Emperor Taizong saw how beautiful she was and named her Wu Mei. The word "beauty" probably reflects not only beauty, but also the "hook" in modern folk vocabulary.

Her court career began, and she sat in the position of a gifted scholar for eleven years. This is quite different from Wu Zetian's faint expectation! She was not favored by Emperor Taizong. Among a group of wives, Wu Zetian is just a marginal figure, and there are not many records about her experience.

Why didn't Mei Niang flatter Emperor Taizong? There is a fundamental problem that when men and women are attracted to each other, it is best to complement each other. Emperor Taizong was the ruler of furious Britain. He has a lot of experience in fighting and decision-making, and he hopes to have a gentle and virtuous woman as his partner.

Wu Zetian is not such a weak woman. This is the famous "Lion Flag Incident".

This happened during the period when Wu Zetian followed Emperor Taizong, but it was not recorded at that time. This was mentioned by Wu Zetian at the age of seventy-six:

Emperor Taizong had a famous jockey, and Fei _ could not control him. I waited on the ladies-in-waiting and said to Emperor Taizong, "If I can manage, I must have three things: a iron whip, two iron staves and three daggers. Iron whip refused to accept it, and the soldiers refused to accept it. They cut their throats with daggers. " Emperor Taizong's ambition made me strong.

This woman, amazing, is a brave soldier. Although Emperor Taizong encouraged Wu Zetian at that time, he was afraid that he was not very interested in this masculine woman.

According to historical records, Emperor Taizong at least did not have a crush on Wu Zetian. The days in the palace are long, and what Wu Zetian did in the palace is nothing more than specific affairs. She wasted eleven years.

Others are fascinated by Emperor Taizong. When Wu Zetian entered the palace, there was a gifted scholar named Xu Hui. Xu Huisheng was born in a scholarly family. At the age of four, I began to recite Zi Zhi Tong Jian and The Analects of Confucius. When he was eight years old, he could compose music and speak clearly. His literary name is very famous in Beijing, and Emperor Taizong also knows him, so he named the palace himself.

Xu Hui's temperament and thoughts are exactly what he likes. It turns out that since the death of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong has lived a decadent life, indulged in pleasure and was particularly interested in women. Xu used this as a reason to remonstrate, and his words were quite like the wind of the grandson queen. Emperor Taizong appreciated her very much and promoted her to one of the nine concubines as one of the official concubines. After the death of Emperor Taizong, Xu Hui was devastated and terminally ill, and refused to recover. In order to share joys and sorrows with Emperor Taizong, she would rather die early. As a result, she died at the age of 24 and was named a virtuous princess after her death.

Xu Hui, a two-year-old little Wu Zetian, loves reading, but she can't let go after entering the palace. She is a typical intellectual woman. It seems that Emperor Taizong was still attracted by this elegant little woman and had no opinion of Wu Zetian's bold horse trainer.

On the other hand, Wu Zetian didn't waste her time in the palace. Because talented people are in the palace, they have to learn etiquette, music, poetry and books from all the concubines, and they are also responsible for banquets, sericulture and sleep. After this exercise, her knowledge and quality have been greatly improved, and she knows the size of the palace like the back of her hand. She'll need it later!

More importantly, Wu Zetian has accumulated a lot of political experience in these eleven years. First of all, she is the personal secretary of Emperor Taizong. In a higher quality way, she "taught herself". Two brushes for handling state affairs, one is called strategy and the other is called Yu. She knows that. This is called learning to be excellent and being an official. Keep it for your own use.

Then she experienced specific infighting among concubines and taught her how to keep a low profile and how to advance and retreat in practice. How to compete with others in the future will make her think more or less.

In a word, eleven years of training and loneliness made her mature from innocence, and she became a hidden female politician. This phoenix, which is still gray for the time being, is ready to find a chance to fly high!

In the meantime, there are still rumors about her in later generations. That is to say, in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Taibai Star appeared many times in one day, and Tai Shigong often divined, resulting in the image of "regular hostess". At this time, a book "Shi Mao" was circulated among the people, which said: "After Tang III, women descended to earth". It is said that Emperor Taizong was very dissatisfied with this and doubted it.

One day, Emperor Taizong had dinner with the military commander * * * in the palace, and the monarch and his subjects played a drinking order. It's fun to play real names today.

It was General Zuo Wuwei's turn, and Li Junxian of Wulian County signed up. He reported a nickname "Wu Niang"!

Emperor Taizong was shocked, but still smiled and said, "No woman is so brave!" Cover up the panic.

After the banquet, Emperor Taizong thought about it and broke out in a cold sweat. -This guy's official name, fief and native place all have the word "Wu", and posthumous title's "female name" is homophonic with "Wu". What is this? So he decisively ordered Li Junxian to be deported and demoted to Huazhou as a secretariat. A few days after his arrival, he was killed by an excuse.

After Li Junxian was dismissed from office, Emperor Taizong still felt uneasy. Ask Taishiling Li: "What does the secret book say? Do you believe it? "

Li said, "I look from the sky. I'm already in the palace. I am a relative. I am only thirty years old this year. " When the king of the world killed all the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, his pursuit was realized! "

Emperor Taizong panicked and asked, "If the suspect was killed, why?"

Li disagreed and said, the king can't be killed. Killing people now means killing innocent people. Besides, in another 30 years, he will be old, and maybe he will leave you some Xin Wei with some sympathy. If you kill this man today, a young man in the sky will kill all your children and grandchildren. Not worth it.

Emperor Taizong knew that the destiny could not be violated, so he had to give up, but then he took strict precautions. Maybe Wu Zetian is not favored. Which one does this have to do with?
