After the death of Queen Changsun, Li Shimin was depressed all day long. Although Queen Changsun passed away, life had to go on as usual! The next year, the ministers suggested that Li Shimin draft a talent show, and Li Shimin agreed. Yang Shufei saw the lonely Li Shimin and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have a niece who is very good-looking." After hearing this, Li Shimin became interested and specially recruited 14-year-old Wu Zetian to enter the palace.
Before leaving, mother Yang cried to say goodbye to her daughter, but Wu Zetian said: "This is a good opportunity to enter the palace to serve the Holy Emperor. Why do you need to look like a crying daughter?"
Wu Zetian soon became Li Shimin's new favorite after entering the palace. When she went to bed with her for the first time, the young Wu Zetian couldn't help but feel nervous. Li Shimin saw that she was charming and charming, so he gave her the title "Mei", so later everyone also called her Mei Niang .
The two of them were just about to go to bed when suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the roof of their palace. The lightning flashed and a large piece of wood fell from the beam. It was about to hit Li Shimin. Wu Zetian pushed Li Shimin away with all his strength and was not hurt. He was very moved by Wu Zetian's actions.
Li Shimin also developed an admiration for this decisive woman, and named Wu Zetian the title of Martial Talent. The little girl received the award not long after she entered the palace.
The title of Talented Person was originally awarded after serving in bed, but it was awarded in advance due to "Tian Lei", and Wu Zetian also thought that she would be doubly favored, but it backfired, and because of this incident, Li Shimin was convinced that the woman in front of him who had saved his life was not my cup. I think Wu Zetian has always been a Talented Person for the following reasons:
.
Li Shimin had a good horse, but it was too naughty and even the trainer could not tame it. Li Shimin sighed: "No one can tame such a good horse." "Conquer!" At this time, Wu Zetian stood up and said, "Give me three things, an iron whip, an iron hammer and a dagger, and I will tame it." But when Wu Zetian tamed the horse, Li Shimin was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and never called Wu Zetian to sleep with him again.
Li Shimin offered a reward of a thousand gold to find Chollima Lion Cong . Soon, Lion Cong was found in Guazhou. Li Shimin heard that Lion Cong was found, so he went out of the palace to greet him in person.
One day, Li Shimin took his concubines to the Royal Stables in the Inner Garden for a stroll. Suddenly, a green, high-headed horse galloped up. Seven or eight horsemen followed, and it took the combined efforts of everyone to control the horse.
Li Shimin, however, was very calm: "You still can't tame the lion?"
The horse attendant looked helpless: "I have tried my best to tame the lion, but I still can't."
Li Shimin's bloody spirit immediately came up and said: "I want to tame it myself."
Li Shimin hugged the horse's neck tightly, and gradually let go as he lost strength. The lion leaped and threw him off the horse's back, and Li Shimin fell on everyone.
Li Shimin looked at the lion helplessly and sighed: "What a bloody horse, I can't do anything about it. Who has the ability to tame it?"
At this time, a voice sounded: "I can cure it!" Li Shimin suddenly turned around and said : "Do you have the ability to subdue it?"
Wu Zetian said: "I do have a way, but I have to ask your Majesty to give me three things." "What?" "First, an iron whip; second, an iron hammer; third, a dagger." Li Shimin asked curiously: "These three things can tame a stubborn horse."
Wu Zetian said: "If the horse is disobedient, use a whip; if it is disobedient, use a hammer to hit its head; finally, if it is disobedient, use a dagger to cut off the skin and gouge out the flesh." After Wu Zetian finished speaking, she waited for Li Shimin's praise.
After hearing this, Li Shimin showed a strange expression, and then laughed loudly and said: "This concubine is too fierce. If horses can be tamed like this, how many good horses can be left in the world?"
Wu Zetian was a little disappointed. She didn't understand what she did wrong. But unfortunately, Li Shimin didn't like this kind of strong character. Li Shimin only liked one kind of woman, and that was someone like his deceased wife, the eldest grandson Queen.
After the Lion Cong incident, Li Shimin had to guard against it, so Wu Zetian completely lost the opportunity to be favored. He stayed in Yeting for 12 years and became a martial arts talent for 12 years.

A rare celestial phenomenon often appeared at that time: Taibai Venus appeared many times during the day, Li Chunfeng divination said: "The heroine will be prosperous." At that time, it was also spread among the people that "after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine King Wu The world belongs to the generation.
Although Li Shimin did not say it, he was worried in his heart. Who would take things that threatened the imperial power completely seriously?
Later, Li Chunfeng said to Li Shimin many times: "I am watching the sky at night, and this person is in the palace. "Zhong, is a relative of His Majesty. He is no more than thirty years old. He will become the king of the world and kill all the descendants of the Li family. This omen has already been formed."
Li Chunfeng's usual ability to observe the sky also made Li Shimin believe it. From then on, he became even more distant and indifferent to Wu Zetian, let alone getting her pregnant and giving birth to a child.
Li Shimin The people immediately expressed their intention to kill all the people with the surname Wu in the palace, but Li Chunfeng told him that if he killed one, a new person would come to the throne, so the best way was to ignore this person at first. During this period, Li Junxian, the general of Wu Hou, who was granted the title of Duke of Wulian County and was stationed at Xuanwu Gate , became the scapegoat. ml3 3 After this incident, Li Shimin's interest in women dropped significantly, and the harem's fertility rate fell off a cliff. Therefore, Wu Zetian's status was stagnant, and Li Shimin devoted more love to his children, so he decided to personally raise Prince Jin Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang Li Mingda. Li Shimin took Li Zhi with him from morning to night, and would not let him leave him. He treated his son like this, and he was even more sympathetic to his daughter. Princess Jinyang, whose name was Li Mingda, and whose childhood name was Sizi, was born in the history. The only record in history of a princess being raised by the emperor himself. It can be said that after the death of Queen Changsun, Li Shimin focused all the energy of the harem on taking care of his children. After the death of Princess Jinyang, Li Shimin took Li Zhi even more seriously. Li Shimin even wrote a letter saying that he was very anxious when he heard that Li Zhi was ill, but he was relieved when it turned out that it was the princess' illness. In short, Li Shimin held Li Zhi in his hands and loved him so much that he was not willing to let go. He would cry no matter who tried to persuade him. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin died on the dragon bed in Cuiwei Palace. Before his death, he ordered people to summon Wu Zetian to him and asked with his last bit of strength: "What will you do after I die?" " No matter how unpopular Wu Zetian was, she stayed in the palace for 12 years. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was a proposition. If the answer was not good, her life would be at risk. At this time, Wu Zetian had secretly communicated with Li Zhi, but now she could only answer humbly and cautiously: "I became a nun, and from then on I will always accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern, and I will live my remaining life. " Li Shimin was obviously very satisfied with this answer. He thought that he had removed all obstacles for his son Li Zhi and could leave with peace of mind. However, what he didn't know was that just because of his temporary softness of heart, Wu Zetian had a chance to turn around. He could only lament that time is also fate. After the death of Empress Changsun, there were two women who were favored the most. One was Yang Shufei who followed the gourd and painted the gourd, and the other was Xu Hui who entered the palace after competing with Wu Zetian. Yang Needless to say about Concubine Shu, because Xu Hui was deeply loved by Li Shimin, in his last days, Chance was the only one who favored him. He was once promoted from Cai Ren to Jieyu and then to Chongrong. Compared with these virtuous women, Wu Zetian was too maverick and overbearing.
