In 700 AD, the 76-year-old Wu Zetian began to select young handsome men to enter the palace, and named Zhang Changzong as the Minister of the Spring Palace.
The reason why she wanted to select a handsome young man to enter the palace was to collect Yang Yuan to strengthen her spirit.
In response to this, Zhu Jing once gave a frank advice, saying: Your Majesty already has Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong as his inner favorite, which should be said to be useful enough. If more beautiful men are selected into the palace, it will damage the reputation of the court.
But Wu Zetian didn't listen.
At this time, she wants to use Fengchen Mansion as the erotic palace.
She wants to make this home full of spring all day long.
The position of the Minister of the Spring Palace has such profound meaning.
Because of the nourishment of these young handsome men, she once immigrated the world for herself to grow new teeth.
She is a woman who knows how to take care of herself.
And her adopted daughter, daughter Princess and daughter, Princess Taiping , even more like her. The two brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong who were deeply loved by her were recommended by Princess Taiping and were supported by her. Before this, Feng Xiaobao was generously dedicated to her after the trial of the daughter princess.
In fact, from the day Gaozong Li Zhi passed away, she began her life like this.
That year, she was 59 years old.
59 years old, for ordinary women, it is no longer awesome.
But at this age, she has to start everything again in that aspect.
According to historical records, she cried on the day Li Zhi died.
But in essence, she was very happy at that time.
She has long been looking forward to the arrival of this day.
She is a very ambitious woman.
She has longed for power since the first day she entered the palace.
In order to achieve her goal, she did whatever she wanted.
She once cut off the women Gaozong loved deeply and drowned them into the wine jar to clear the obstacles to her progress.
It was precisely because of her reason that Emperor Gaozong was unable to manage the government later.
In 660 AD, Emperor Gaozong began to suffer from wind and dizziness, dizziness, and his eyes could not see clearly. This year, Wu Zetian was 36 years old.
As the saying goes, a woman is like a wolf, and 40 is like a tiger. At this time, she did not allow Emperor Gaozong to favor other women, but she let Emperor Gaozong and her indulge in that kind of thing every night, making them too greedy, and the lamp was gone and the oil was dry, which reached that point.
has medical basis.
Generally speaking, men who have excessive things cannot escape this disaster.
And Emperor Gaozong's departure just made her take charge of the government and let her let herself go. How could she feel happy and excited insincerely?
Before this, the demotion and promotion of officials in the court had been determined by her. At that time, whenever she went to court, she sat upright behind the curtain, and the court was called the Two Saints in the middle, inside and outside.
After Emperor Gaozong returned to heaven, she soon showed her skills. Anyone who is hindered from her autocracy will be killed, including his biological son. Within one year, two heirs of the emperor's throne were abolished and three he changed his reign. When she was 67 years old, she finally ascended the supreme imperial throne.
But after she sat on this high position, she quickly realized that this was a difficult difference that was exhausting and labor-intensive.
She needs to get emotional conditioning at any time and physical nourishment at any time, otherwise she will soon become overwhelmed.
So she made the above decision.
And that wide selection has indeed benefited her a lot. Until she was 80 years old, she could still have skin tone as fat and her energy was super human.
This point was not made up by later generations.
History says that the world's government orders during that period were issued by her, and the handling of good and evil among officials was even more arbitrary.
That is really a matter of life, but she can always be energetic.
And the daughter of the daughter of the princess and the Taiping Princess are also said to be the ones who feel most despised by their mother.
They don’t want to watch their mother work hard all day and cannot get the enjoyment they deserve, so they take the initiative and actively search for a young handsome man for her, so that she can enjoy the happiness of life while being tireless of doing everything she wants.
And the people they recommended were indeed stunning and strong people who were outstanding at that time.
Yes, men also have the national beauty, which is pleasing to the eye.
These young handsome men make Wu Zetian feel like a fish in water. That kind of nourishment also makes her old and not energetic, and is still like flowers blooming.
Of course, Wu Zetian did not just use these young handsome men without asking about it.
While Wu Zetian enjoyed the joy and satisfaction, he did not forget to let the other party be happy.
Her way of reward is to grant these people high officials and generous salaries.
A man named Feng Xiaobao once served as the General of the Right Guard and was named Duke of the Kingdom of Yuan; and Zhang Yizhi was appointed as the Chief Secretary of Lintai, and Zhang Changzong even served as the Duke of Ye.
It was at the grand state banquet that she did not forget to arrange seats for the young handsome men she liked.
, especially the seats of the brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, in this kind of occasion, they are always in front of Prime Minister Song Jing .
This made Song Jing very angry, and once publicly scolded Zheng Gao, the assistant minister of the Heavenly Officer who received the banquet, as a slave to the Zhang family!
But Wu Zetian disagreed with this and pretended not to hear it.
She still does what she wants until she falls down and can never get up again.
