How cruel is Wu Zetian? The six relatives refused to admit the struggle for the throne.
But she won the throne of the emperor and the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but she also lost a lot. In order to sit on the throne, she even spared the people she loved by hook or by crook.
As we all know, Wu Zetian had a daughter in Zhao, but she died soon after her birth. Many people say that she was killed by the queen.
But there is also a saying that Wu Zetian's daughter was not killed by the queen. She wants to get rid of the queen and strangle her daughter. How cruel she is. She said tiger poison doesn't eat children. She is still a child. How can she do it?
She also killed her two biological sons, Li Hong and Li Xian. After Li became a prince, he was very popular with ministers. According to historical records, Wu Zetian got rid of Li Hong for fear that her son threatened her, but some people said that Li Hong died of illness.
After Li Hongzhang's death, Li Xian was made a prince. During his reign, he won praise both inside and outside the imperial court. Finally, he was exiled to Shu Ren for treason. Wu Zetian forced Li Xian to become emperor and committed suicide.
After Li Xian's death, his three sons were persecuted by Wu Zetian. Although Li Guangshun, the eldest son, was honored as the King of Happiness, he was quickly framed by cruel officials and executed by Wu Zetian.
The second son, Li Shouli, was named King Yong, and his grandmother was imprisoned all the year round, accused of father's crime, and almost never had a good life;
The third son, Li Shouyi, died of a strange disease shortly after being awarded the magistrate of Yongan County. It's hard to say whether it belongs to a happy ending.
Wu Zetian also poisoned his niece, Mrs. Wei Helan, for love and power. I also blame two half-brothers who don't agree with themselves.
Several brothers who disagreed with Wu Zetian were born to die. You can't use Wu's surname after death, you can only change the name of poisonous snake, which means poisonous snake.
For the sake of rights, Wu Zetian can be said to be disloyal and heartless. In today's online slang, women are a little tougher, while men are ok.
China Since Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, men have been inheriting the imperial career, but the appearance of Wu Zetian broke this rule. Judging from the changes in Xuanwu Gate, it seems that the replacement of the throne in the Tang Dynasty has fallen into a strange circle, and there are always profit-seeking events. The road to the summit of a generation of queens is bloody and cruel.
Wu Zetian's choice of affection and power, The Road to the Summit by a ruthless generation of queens.
From Zhao Yi to Empress, the essence of harem struggle is the struggle between imperial power and relative power.
After Li Shimin's death, Wu Zetian went to Ganye Temple to become a monk. But this is not the life she wants. On the day of Li Zhi's pilgrimage to Li Shimin, they met and talked. After this incident was known by the Queen Wang, Wu Zetian was allowed to keep her hair and advised Li Zhi to bring Wu Zetian into the harem. Queen Wang did this because she had no children and wanted to compete with Wu Zetian and Xiao Shufei. What the Queen Wang doesn't know is that the talent she personally selected is her real opponent. Wu Zetian, who entered the palace again, also began her starting point for ascending to the throne.
After entering the palace, Wu Zetian was really favored by Li Zhi. At that time, the queen thought that Wu Zetian could be used to make Xiao Shufei fall out of favor. Wu Zetian is considering how to bring them down and let her enjoy herself in the harem. Wu Zetian, who first entered the palace, was obedient to the queen on the surface, but secretly met someone who had contradictions with the queen to inquire about her fault, but it was not so easy to bring down the queen.
In the fifth year of Yonghui, Wu Zetian gave birth to a little princess for Li Zhi, and Li Zhi loved her very much. As the head of the harem, Queen Wang often visits the little princess to show her generosity. After seeing the little princess once, Li Zhi found that her daughter was dead. All the evidence points to the queen, because there is only the queen besides Wu Zetian. As a biological mother, Wu Zetian would not kill her own daughter, which also made Li Zhi determined to abolish the queen. With regard to the death of the little princess, historical records record that Wu Zetian committed suicide in order to frame the queen. Although there is no definite evidence to prove this, it is still possible to sacrifice her daughter for her own rights according to Wu Zetian's later bloody means.
After Zhao Yi gave birth to her daughter, she ran away, forget it, and then went out. Zhao Yi took it out and covered it. Up to now, Zhao Yiyang smiled, her hair was seen, and the woman died, which was a surprise cry. After asking around, both of them said, "Here comes the queen." I was furious and said, "Kill my daughter in the future!" Zhao Yi cried and recounted his crimes. The reason for being superior is self-evident, and it is a waste of ambition.
Li Zhi is not enough. Now North Korea's power is in the hands of Prime Minister Sun Chang Wuji. If you want to "abolish the king", you must get the support of the infinite. So Li Zhi and Wu Zetian went to the Infinite Palace in Sun Chang. These three sons were worshipped as doctors of the Korean dynasty and gave them a lot of gold, silver and jewels. Such an obvious suggestion didn't get a response from Sun Chang Wuji. At that time, Wu Zetian knew that if she wanted to defeat the Queen, she needed to defeat Sun Chang Wuji first. Li Zhi also needs to regain power from Sun Chang Wuji, so Li Zhi and Wu Zetian started to join hands for the first time.
Wu Zetian started first, and the Queen Mother accused the Queen Mother of conspiring with her mother Liu to "hate victory". Afterwards, the Liu family was not allowed to enter the palace, and the queen's uncle Liu was demoted to Suizhou secretariat. At this time, the king and queen are already alone.
The fall of the Queen and Liu's demotion showed Li Zhi's determination after the abolition. Although Wuji and Chu Suiliang still disagreed with the Empress Dowager, some frustrated officials began to turn to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, such as Xu, Li Yifu and Cui.
Li repeatedly called Wuji, Yu Zhining and Chu Suiliang to talk about "abolishing the king". However, Sun Chang Wuji and others are determined, but they just can't do it. Chu Suiliang not only said that Wu Zetian had served the first emperor, but also hit the steps to show his determination. This incident completely angered Li Zhi, and Chu Suiliang was demoted.
Sun Chang's infinite power is weakening, while Li Zhi's power is increasing. At the critical moment, another orphan care minister, Li Ji, also stood on Li Zhi's side. In October of the 6th year of Yonghui, Li Zhi abandoned Queen Xiao Shufei as Shu Ren on the charge of "conspiracy to poison". 19 June, Wu Zetian was made Queen. After Wu Zetian came to power, she began to deal with Sun Chang Wuji and others. Since then, Han Ai was demoted for plotting against Chu Suiliang, and Sun Chang Wuji and his followers were dismissed for treason. Through this incident, Wu Zetian not only became the master of the harem, but also made her have a foundation in the court.
Facing the double saints of the dynasty: Li Zhi was ill in bed, but he had no choice but to rule the world with Wu Zetian.
When Sun Chang Wuji fell, Li Zhi was finally able to monopolize power. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Only one year later, Li Zhi became ill. Li Zhi was dizzy and had a headache when he was ill, so he was a little overwhelmed in dealing with political affairs. There is no way, Li Zhi can only let Wu Zetian listen to politics and Qi Xin work together. Wu Zetian, who failed to fulfill her promise, showed great talent in politics, and the emperor was extremely satisfied with it. This incident made Wu Zetian's power more and more huge, and she was one step closer to the throne.
After the storm of abolishing government, Wu Zetian won the contest of the emperor.
At first, Wu Zetian obeyed Li Zhi's will when dealing with government affairs, but with the success of Wu Zetian, she became more and more autocratic. This puts Li Zhigang under threat. In the long run, it is bound to be overhead by Wu Zetian, so Li Zhiyou has a plan to abolish Wu Zetian.
One day, eunuch Wang Fusheng told Li Zhi that a Taoist named Deng Xingzhen went in and out of the forbidden area and practiced witchcraft of "disgusting victory". At the beginning, Wu Zetian accused the queen of "aversion to victory". Wu Zetian would not have thought that this crime was also committed against her.
After the incident, Li Zhi used the theory of East-West Taiwan to secretly convene an assistant minister and an official on the west stage to discuss how to deal with the queen. Shangguan Yi said, "The queen is special. There is nothing in the sea. Please abolish it. " This is exactly what Li Zhi wanted to hear, so he was asked to draft the imperial edict.
At this time, people around Li told Wu Zetian about it, and Wu Zetian hurried to tell Li Zhi. What they said was not recorded in the history books, but Li Zhi gave up the plan to abolish Wu Zetian and said, "I didn't have this heart at the beginning, but Shangguan Yi taught me." Perhaps Wu Zetian's words reminded Li Zhi of their friendship. Perhaps Li Zhi felt that his government affairs could not be separated from her, so he gave up the waste.
But it's not as simple as giving up. What Li Zhi gave up was the right in his hand. When Wu Zetian heard what Shangguan Yi meant, she instructed Xu Jingzong to falsely accuse Shangguan Yi and others of betraying the imperial court and was arrested and put to death. From then on, all the power in the world belongs to Wu Zetian, and the rise and fall of officials depends on her words, which are called "two saints" both inside and outside.
Naturally, everything looks at the world and then hangs behind it, while politics has no size. Everyone knows that the power of the world belongs to the Han Palace, and its mouth is doomed to kill people. The son of heaven has just made friends and is known as the second saint at home and abroad.
The choice of family and power, his son became a stumbling block.
Power has always been in its hands, but these are not enough for Wu Zetian. Although there are not many people in power in the harem, there are still people. Wu Zetian wants to be a queen who has not been accepted by the world for thousands of years. No one can do it.
Although it is only one step away, this step is like a huge gap that cannot be crossed. She wants to be a queen, but Li Zhi won't agree, nor will the courtiers, nor will her son.
Like Emperor Gaozong, Li Hongzhang is filial, kind and talented. At the age of ten, he called the court officials in the East Palace to compile a large-scale collection of 500 volumes of Jade in Yaoshan. Li Zhi was very satisfied with the prince and asked him to supervise the country after he went out. Li Hong also failed to live up to his expectations. He was very capable since he was a child and was highly praised by courtiers.
The qualified heir is what Li Zhi wants to see, not what Wu Zetian wants to see, although this heir is her own son. Besides, this son has different political views from himself. First, he asked for the bones of the abandoned Prince Jong Li to be buried, and then asked for Xiao Shufei's daughter to get married. Jong Li died of the abolition of Wu Zetian, and Xiao Shufei's daughter was imprisoned by Wu Zetian. Although Li Hong fulfilled her good name, she also hit Wu Zetian in the face.
Li Zhi's health is getting worse and worse, and the prince has grown up and has the ability to handle state affairs alone. So Li Zhi wanted to give the throne to the prince, let him rest assured for illness, and limit the rights of Wu Zetian. This obviously affected the interests of Wu Zetian. How can we prevent this from happening?
Li Hong followed Wu Zetian and Li Zhi to Luoyang and died suddenly. At that time, it was thought that Wu Zetian had poisoned the prince. It is clearly recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty that Wu Zetian killed Li Hong. From the perspective of future generations, whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the biggest suspect. Wu Zetian did have a motive to kill Li Hong.
Qi Hai, the prince is tied up in the palace. At that time, people thought that Tianhou would win.
Ji Hai, the queen killed the Crown Prince.
Li Hong is dead, but Chu Jun still needs someone to sit down. So two months after Li Hong's death, Li Xian, the second son of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, was made a prince. Li Xian just acceded to the throne, was supervised by Li Zhi, Li Xian didn't let him down. Li Zhi asked all the prime ministers and former court officials to teach Li Xian, just to enable him to become an emperor as soon as possible.
The same Li Xian and Wu Zetian are not in the same heart, so Wu Zetian moved to get rid of Li Xian's mind. Then rumors began to spread in the palace, saying that Li Xian was not the son of Wuhou, but the son of a Korean woman.
Before the rumors subsided, Wu Zetian's other actions began to be implemented. Wu Zetian let a warlock named Chongming Yan spread immoral remarks, which made him very angry.
Next, Wu Zetian ordered people to accuse Li Xian of "debauchery" and sent someone to interrogate Li Xian. After careful interrogation, someone revealed the truth of Li Xian's assassination of Chongming. Later, hundreds of pieces of armor were collected from the East Palace. In the end, the case was solved by the prince's rebellion, and he deserved it. Li Zhi's request for pardon saved Li Xian from being demoted to Shu Ren. Later, Wu Zetian sent Qiu to kill him on the grounds of checking his life experience.
After Li Xian's death, the emperor's illness became more and more serious, but the prince had to be established. Therefore, Li Xian, the third son of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, was made a prince, while Li Xian was not as talented as his two brothers, which was exactly what Wu Zetian needed.
In 683, Li Zhi and Tang Gaozong died in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and ordered Li Xian to succeed him. If there is any unfinished business, it will be decided by Wu Zetian. This also gave Wu Zetian certain rights, but Li Xian's ability was obviously inferior to Wu Zetian's, so the power of North Korea was still in her hands. Li Xian was emperor for 36 days, and was abolished as king of Luling by Wu Zetian.
Later, Wu Zetian made Li Dan emperor, but Li Dan had no right, and everything was decided by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian wantonly selected talents and slaughtered the imperial clan of Li Tang, paving the way for the end. On September 9, 690, Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changing the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou and Yuan Dynasties. A generation of queens was born. There was too much blood along the way, including the little princess, Wu Zetian's younger brother and sister, and her own son. I think Wu Zetian looked back on her life in her later years and didn't know what she had done right, so she left a tablet without words for future generations to say.
