Zhang Changzong came to Wu Zetian. When he met Wan'er, Wan'er told: "General Zhang (Zhang Changzong) is here, but the Queen is not here. Please General Zhang come back tomorrow!" "The Queen is not here, Miss Wan'er." Aren't you here?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Changzong continued to pester, and Wan'er gave in. Even though she knew it was poisonous wine, the mellow aroma of the poisonous wine was so attractive to Wan'er. After the first time, there was a second time. The two met more and more often, and sometimes they openly flirted with each other in front of the Queen. The queen gradually discovered the problem, and when she came back from an outing, she caught them in bed and raped them.
Shangguan Wan'er was born in 664. Her grandfather Shangguan Yi offended Wu Zetian because she drafted the edict to abolish the queen. Wu Zetian killed her on the charge of "conspiracy with the deposed prince Li Zhong". All the female family members in the palace also entered the palace as maids. Among them were Shangguan Wan'er and her mother. But Shangguan Wan'er's mother, Zheng, was a person who understood the general situation and was determined to train her daughter to become a talented person.
Since Wan'er was four years old, Zheng began to teach her reading and literacy. When Wan'er was a little older, Zheng sent her to study in the inner literature hall in the harem (the inner literature hall was specially designed for women in the harem to read). Wan'er is a rare regular visitor here. For such a young girl, spending every day reading in the library is a special sight.
Winter comes and summer comes, and in the blink of an eye, Wan'er is already 14 years old. She is no longer the yellow-haired girl, but has become a young girl. What's even more valuable is that she has read a lot of poetry and books and can already write good articles. Years of hard study in school cultivated her elegant temperament and created a talented female poet. The works she picked up at her fingertips are all full of wit and brilliant literary talent. The Queen also heard that there was such a girl in the harem, who was naturally beautiful and well-spoken. The empress of heaven ordered the civil servants around her to give her a test. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er did not panic and responded calmly, showing the demeanor of a lady. After seeing it, the Queen liked it very much and decided to keep her by her side to help her draft the edict.
From then on, there was a beautiful, well-behaved and smart girl beside a generation of queens, she was Shangguan Wan'er.
html The 114-year-old Shangguan Wan'er was promoted by Wu Zetian to become the imperial female official "Nei Sheren". This was the age when the talented woman first fell in love. Her first love affair happened not long after she arrived with Wu Zetian. Since Wan'er and Wu Zetian were inseparable every day, she naturally got to know Wu Zetian's sons. At that time, the eldest son Li Hong had passed away, the second son Li Xian was the prince, and Li Xian was Shangguan Wan'er's first love boyfriend. . Cinderella fell in love with the prince, and Wan'er was truly invested in her love. She also fantasized about rising to power and living a good life as a concubine.
Unexpectedly, although Li Xian was the prince, he was not favored by Wu Zetian. He was eventually suspected of treason by Wu Zetian, was demoted to an ordinary person, and was exiled to Bazhou . In this way, he not only lost the right to inherit the throne, but also lost his life.
Brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi are Wu Zetian's new male favorites after Xue Huaiyi. They were donated by their daughter Princess Taiping to the Queen to relieve her boredom, so they are naturally familiar with Wan'er. One time Zhang Changzong came to see Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian was out. Wan'er told her: General Zhang (Zhang Changzong) is here, but the Queen is not here. Please ask General Zhang to come back tomorrow! "The Queen is not here, isn't Miss Wan'er here?" "Unexpectedly, Zhang Changzong continued to pester, and Wan'er gave in. Even though she knew it was poisonous wine, the mellow aroma of the poisonous wine was too attractive to Wan'er. After the first time, there was a second time, and the two met more and more times. , and sometimes even openly flirted with each other in front of the Queen. The Queen gradually discovered the problem and caught them in bed after going out.
Such things between men and women were not a big deal to Wu Zetian, considering the role Wan'er played by her side. , she decided to spare Wan'er, but she wanted to destroy her beauty, and she wanted her to understand that she could make her glorious or destroy her. Therefore, although Wan'er escaped death, she suffered the punishment of being tattooed. : Tattoo on denomination.
After the Wuzhou Empire was established, the Queen looked at the achievements of the Zhou Dynasty and came up with an idea: to compile the history of the Zhou Dynasty and record her great achievements. So, who can take on this responsibility? Naturally, it is Wu Sansi who has won the trust of the queen. So Wu Zetian sent his nephew Wu Sansi to take charge of the task of compiling the history of the country. Fearing that he would be too busy, he asked Wan'er, who was knowledgeable and talented in writing, to come and help.
Wu Sansi is Wu Zetian's nephew and has the queen's trust and dependence. This time, the Queen gave him the task of compiling national history, which shows how important his position is in the Queen's mind. Wu Zhou The compilation of the history of the empire began vigorously with the cooperation of Wu Sansi and Shangguan Wan'er. When encountering problems, the two people will discuss them carefully and cooperate with each other, so the work goes smoothly. As time goes by, the two gradually fall in love. One is handsome and suave, the other is beautiful and elegant, and they are both popular in front of the Queen. Heroes cherish heroes, so the two naturally come together. But both people understand that there is no love in this. For Wu Sansi, Wan'er was a beloved general who was deeply appreciated by the Queen. To please her was equivalent to indirectly pleasing the Queen. What's more, Wan'er is so beautiful, and her whole body exudes the charm of women; for Wan'er, Wu Sansi is the queen's nephew and has won the queen's trust. By pleasing Wu Sansi, one's own survival will have more safety and security. What's more, Wu Sansi's suave and masculine personality deeply attracted Wan'er.
In this way, Wan'er and Wu Sansi came together.
On the 22nd of the first month of the first year of the Shenlong year (705), Zhang Jianzhi and others launched the Shenlong coup , killing the brothers of Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yi, and forcing Wu Zetian to pass the throne to the prince Li Xian. Zhongzong came to the throne and granted amnesty to the world. The Wu Zhou Dynasty came to an end.
In the same year, on a bleak autumn night, the 82-year-old Wu Zetian died alone and desolately on her hospital bed. Before her death, she left a last wish to bury herself and Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi together in the Qianling Mausoleum on the banks of the Weishui River. At the same time, she did not allow her son to write an inscription for him. She wanted to leave a wordless monument and let future generations comment on the merits and demerits.
After seeing off a generation of empress, Wan'er returned to Li Xian and was still responsible for helping him draft edicts. And named her "Jieyu". Jieyu is one of the titles of the emperor's many concubines, belonging to the third rank. Although she was favored by Zhongzong, Wan'er was still very uneasy. She knew that Zhongzong and Empress Wei had a special relationship.
There is a different theory here. Shangguan Wan'er participated in the Shenlong Coup and was entrusted by Princess Taiping to control the maid group around Wu Zetian and supervise Wu Zetian's actions in the palace. Therefore, it was not until Zhang Jianzhi and others entered the palace. After arriving at Wu Zetian's side, Wu Zetian knew the truth. In any case, one thing is certain, that is, Shangguan Wan'er has been promoted to a higher position after the coup.
They are both the emperor's women. Shangguan Wan'er was very worried about Empress Wei harming her, so she had to find a way to solve it. At this time, in order to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the power of the hero group, Zhongzong Li Xian deliberately wooed the Wu group. Suddenly, Wan'er had an idea. She remembered that Empress Wei seemed to have feelings for Wu Sansi. I still remember that when the Queen was still alive, she once brought together Li Xian's daughter Princess Anle and Wu Sansi's son Wu Chongxun , and later they became in-laws. I remember that when Queen Wei saw this relative for the first time, her eyes rested on him for a long time. Suffering from no one to connect with her, Empress Wei was never able to get in touch with Wu Sansi. Wan'er decided to be the matchmaker to please Empress Wei. She first went to Wu Sansi, explained the interests, and asked Wu Sansi to make acquaintance with Queen Wei. Then, he personally made an appointment with Wu Sansi and Queen Wei.
Empress Wei loved to gamble on the Shuanglu game in the palace. She often sat opposite Wu Sansi and gambled on Shuanglu. Empress Wei deliberately acted like a coquettish girl to make Wu Sansi laugh. Not only was Zhongzong not angry, but he also held a toothpick in his hand to calculate the chips for them to win or lose. After Wei got Wu Sansi, she was grateful to Wan'er and decided to let go of the past. From then on, she and Wan'er became good friends.
During the reign of Empress Wu, Shangguan Wan'er organized many poetry gatherings. The person who ranked first in the poetry gatherings could receive very valuable rewards and even be promoted to a higher rank. During the Zhongzong period, poetry gatherings continued to be held. At a poetry meeting, among many poetic talents, one person caught Wan'er's attention. He was Cui Shi (there are more than 30 poems included in 300 Tang poems). Wan'er had met him before at Wu Sansi's house. During that meeting, Wan'er was attracted by his appearance. However, Wan'er was still immersed in her endless love with Wu Sansi at that time and had no time to care about him. Now Wu Sansi falls into Empress Wei's arms, leaving Wan'er alone. Seeing Cui Shi again at this time, Wan'er couldn't help but yearn for him.
I didn’t expect that Cui Shi could write good articles again, so he naturally liked Wan’er even more. Faced with the love of Shangguan Wan'er, who was six years older than him, Cui Shi agreed without hesitation. Not only because they both had poem names, but more importantly, Cui Shi knew Shangguan Wan'er's power in the court. He knew that once he attached himself to Shangguan Wan'er, he would immediately become rich and prosperous. Wan'er did not treat him badly and often recommended him to Zhongzong. He was quickly promoted from Zhongshu Sheren to the Minister of War, and then to the Minister of Zhongshu, the Minister of the School of Inspectors, and Ping Zhangshi under Tong Zhongshu (the position of prime minister at the time).
But there is one thing that is not satisfactory. Cui Shi lives outside the palace and Wan'er lives in the palace. It is very inconvenient for the two to meet. In order to facilitate the meeting with Cui Shi, Wan'er came up with another way. She first went to Empress Wei and asked Empress Wei to ask Zhongzong to allow the palace ladies and concubines to build residences outside the palace. She knew that Empress Wei would agree to this request, because it would also facilitate Empress Wei to have a private meeting with her lover. Because it was Empress Wei who made the request, Li Xian had no choice but to agree. So Wan'er bought a mansion outside the palace and became a romantic couple with Cui Shi.
Later, Cui Shi made many mistakes when presiding over the Quanxuan , and Zhongzong demoted him to the rank of Sima from another state.
Ever since Wan'er introduced Wu Sansi to Wei Shi, Wu Sansi only spent the whole day hanging out with Empress Wei, neglecting Wan'er. Li Xian was old and frail, and Cui Shi's appearance soothed Wan'er's lonely heart. Now that something happened to Cui Shi, Wan'er naturally couldn't ignore her. So Wan'er went to Princess Anle and asked her for help. Princess Anle, nicknamed Guo'er, was born when Li Xian was demoted and exiled. When Princess Anle was brought back from the countryside with her father by Wu Zetian, Wan'er took care of her. Now Wan'er asked for something, and she readily agreed. Princess Anle just played coquettishly with Zhongzong, and Cui Shi was reinstated.
On July 6, the third year of Emperor Zhongzong's Shenlong reign, Crown Prince Li Chongjun launched a coup and killed Wu Sansi, his father and his son, and more than a dozen family members, but Princess Anle was not found. Li Chongjun then led his soldiers into the harem to search for Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er was with Zhongzong and Empress Wei at that time. In the face of the crisis, she remained calm and responded flexibly, and finally disintegrated the coup group. Prince Li Chongjun was killed by his soldiers while escaping, and the coup failed. . Wan'er thought to herself, things in the world are ever-changing, so you must know how to cherish them! Fortunately, she still has Cui Shi. Although Cui Shi recently fell into the arms of Princess Anle, he did not neglect himself. Wan'er thought again that Li Chongjun had named her to kill her, and realized that her friendship with the Wu family had offended the Li family. From then on, she deliberately distanced herself from Queen Wei and her group, and began to get closer to Princess Taiping.
Wu Sansi and his son died. Empress Wei was very sad, but her baby daughter Princess Anle was very happy. Because, Princess Anle has been on good terms with Wu Yanxiu ( Wu Chengsi 's son) for a long time. Now that Wu Chongxun is gone, Princess Anle married Wu Yanxiu openly.
Since Empress Wei and Shangguan Wan'er petitioned the concubines in the harem to set up residences outside the palace, many people have gone out to buy their own mansions. The ministers of the court, the three religions and the nine schools all came to their side to please them, either hoping that they would be promoted to a higher position, or hoping to find themselves an official position. Among them, Princess Anle is the worst.
In June of the fourth year of Jinglong (710), Li Xian died suddenly without any warning at the age of fifty-five. His mysterious death has become a historical case. One said it was poisoning, the other said it was a sudden illness. The generally accepted theory is that he was poisoned by Empress Wei and her daughter Princess Anle.
After Li Xian died, Wan'er understood what happened. With a keen sense of politics, she knew the situation was about to change again, and she had to choose a side again. She can't clearly stand on which side now, and she can't offend anyone. Wan'er immediately called Princess Taiping to join forces to stop Empress Wei's conspiracy, but there was nothing she could do now. Just in time, Empress Wei asked Wan'er to draft Zhongzong's edict. Wan'er could only adopt a compromise method: make King Wen Li Chongmao the crown prince, Queen Wei assist the young master, and the Prime Minister Li Dan take part in political affairs. Wan'er originally wanted to use this method to let Li Dan contain Empress Wei and stop Empress Wei's conspiracy, but she failed in the end.
Three days later, Prince Li Chongmao ascended the throne, and Queen Wei took charge of political affairs. In the end, there was only one obstacle left that could prevent Queen Wei from ascending the throne and proclaiming herself emperor, and that was Princess Taiping and Li Dan. As a result, Webster's party conspired to get rid of Li Dan and Princess Taiping.
learned about the conspiracy of Zong Chuke and others. Li Dan's son Li Longji discussed with Princess Taiping and decided to strike preemptively. On June 20th of the fourth year of Jinglong (710), Li Longji and Princess Taiping launched the Tanglong coup. With the help of Ge Fushun, Li Xianfu, Xue Chongjian, Liu Youqiu and others, they killed Princess Anle, among others. There were many Wei clan members, and Queen Wei panicked and fled to the Feiqi Guards Camp, where her head was beheaded by the soldiers and presented to Li Longji.
Wan'er hurriedly went out to check, only to find out that it was Li Longji and Princess Taiping who had launched the coup. Shangguan Wan'er, who has been in a powerful position for many years and once relied on Wu Sansi and Queen Wei, knew that she was doomed. She calmly walked to the palace gate and greeted this moment personally. The ladies of the palace stood beside her holding candles. When Li Longji's army arrived, Wan'er quietly showed him the Zhongzong edict she had drafted. She hoped that Li Longji would understand that her heart was for Li Tang in the last moments of her life. Liu Youqiu took Zhongzong's imperial edict and asked Li Longji to be lenient. Li Longji was reluctant to kill Shangguan Wan'er, after all, she was a talented woman of a generation. However, Shangguan Wan'er's crime was truly unforgivable. She was the one who helped Wu and Wei jointly persecute the Li family. Shangguan Wan'er bears unshirkable responsibility for the chaos between the government and the public. Therefore, Li Longji took a sudden turn and beheaded her under the military flag.
In this way, in the dim light of the red candle, Shangguan Wan'er ended her official life of ups and downs.
Dear readers, among Shangguan Wan'er's many romances, who do you think is the one who gave her true love?
