Because the Queen’s family and the Tang Dynasty imperial family are relatives, and Tang Gaozu’s sister, Princess Tong’an, is the Queen’s cousin, and the Queen’s mother is the Queen’s mother, Mrs. Wei’s aunt. Granddaughter of Tang Gaozu. Therefore, Queen Wang was born in a distinguished family. She was not only the descendant of important officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also the in-laws of the Tang Dynasty royal family and belonged to the military aristocratic group of Guanlong.

In addition, the queen has a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality. Therefore, in the arrangement of Emperor Taizong of Tang and the princess of Tongan, the queen married to the king of Jin Lizhi. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian was abolished as the prince, the king of Jin Lizhi was named the prince, and the queen was named the prince. In the twenty-three years of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang died and Prince Li Zhi ascended the throne for Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. The following year, Wang was formally named as queen.

However, Queen Wang had no children in her life, which became the biggest regret in her life and the heart disease that has plagued Gaozong for many years. Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty had a son, Emperor Yong Li, Li Sujie, the son of the Xiao family. Therefore, he was favored by Tang Gaozong and greatly envied by the queen. Therefore, Queen Wang heard that after Tang Gaozong and Tang Taizong talented Wu Zetian met in Ganye Temple, she secretly sent someone to see Wu Zetian and asked her to hide her hair, and persuaded Gaozong to take Wu Zetian back to the harem, hoping to use Wu Zetian to alienate him.

all know that Wu Zetian is a very smart person. When she entered the palace for the first time, she lowered her breath and "humbled her body with hindsight", winning the trust of the king and queen. In front of Tang Gaozong, Queen Wang often praised Wu Zetian for his knowledge of etiquette and generality. Soon, Wu Zetian won the favor of Tang Gaozong and was named Zhaoyi. Since then, she has given birth to four sons for Tang Gaozong, and secretly transformed into a queen, bringing new threats to the king and queen.

So, in order to maintain the status of the queen, Queen Wang asked her uncle Zhongshu Jin Liu Shi to negotiate, and Liu Shi came out to put pressure on Gaozong. At that time, the cowardly Tang Gaozong had no opinion. Therefore, at the request of everyone, Tang Gaozong could only make Yan Wang Li Zhong the crown prince. But this prevented Concubine Xiao Shu and Wu Zhaoyi from using their son to covet the throne of the queen.

However, Wu Zetian will certainly not give up easily. In this complicated court battle, neither the queen nor the concubine Xiao Shu was obviously her opponent. Queen Wang is “simplistic and hard-working,” while Wu Zetian pays for people she doesn’t like. Thus, every move of Queen Wang was mastered by Wu Zetian. After that, Queen Wang watched her fall out of favor day by day, and she was very worried. As a result, Xiao Shu Fei, who had long since fallen out of favor, gave up the past, and joined hands with Wu Zetian, who was gradually in power.

At that time, the way they adopted was to gossip in front of Gaozong and speak ill of Wu Zetian. At this time, Tang Gaozong was very fond of Wu Zetian, and he was very disgusted with their small talk. Seeing this, Queen Wang didn't know what to do, so she went to her mother to discuss countermeasures. Finally, she decided to curse Wu Zetian with witchcraft, that is, she hoped to conquer Wu Zetian by chanting and drawing symbols, or let Wu Zetian die.

However, the conspiracy of the Queen and her mother was discovered, and their disaster came. After that, Tang Gaozong could only abolish the king and queen. However, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others strongly opposed this matter. Therefore, Tang Gaozong temporarily dispelled the idea of ​​abolishing the king and queen. However, the next incident completely shaken the status of the king and queen.

Actually, throughout the life of the Queen and Queen, it is still quite tragic.
