"Ying Wu Zetian" once said: "Dingding emperors are all giant eyes, why do pearls abandon the deep palace?" In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zetian monopolized the power, broke the feudal bondage, and created a new era. In Wu Zetian's life, there were countless legends, which made future generations deeply moved.
When many people mention Wu Zetian, the first thing they think of is her mighty empress image. Looking at the development of feudal society for thousands of years, we will find that Wu Zetian has successfully broken many restrictions on women in the patriarchal society. , And then embarked on the pinnacle of power. For such a historical figure of special significance, in the process of researching her, everything on him has a certain special value.
Through understanding of Wu Zetian's life, we will find that in his later years, he was forced to abdicate and then returned power to the Li Tang family. It stands to reason that after the abdication, Wu Zetian could fully enjoy a stable life in his old age, but he suddenly passed away less than a year after his abdication. After analyzing the real reasons behind this incident, Chinese experts said: Even history books are embarrassed to record the real reason. What is the secret behind Wu Zetian's death? Why does the world have such remarks?
During the Zhenguan period, Wu Zetian was a talented man in the harem of Tang Taizong . Logically speaking, as a harem woman, she should put her energy above how to win the emperor's favor, but during Tang Taizong's reign, Wu Zetian did not get the emperor's attention. In this way, she began to seek some new outlets for herself.
In an accident, Wu Zetian met Li Zhi, the son of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. Although there is a certain gap between the two in seniority, in the process of daily communication, the two have been in love for a long time. For Li Zhi, he had never met a woman who made him so enamored. For this reason, Li Zhi regarded Wu Zetian as one of the most important people in his life.
After the death of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi successfully succeeded to the throne. Li Zhi, who has become the emperor, naturally hopes to welcome Wu Zetian back to the harem. At first, Li Zhi hoped to make Wu Zetian a queen, but under the influence of courtiers, his wish could not be fulfilled. Even so, in Li Zhi's harem, no one can match Wu Zetian's status.
In later days, Li Zhi trusted Wu Zetian more and more, Whenever Li Zhi had some physical problems, he would turn the court to Wu Zetian for handling. Based on the influence of Tang Gaozong , Wu Zetian began to dabble in the political affairs of the previous dynasty , with the passage of time, Wu Zetian's status became higher and higher, in the late Li Zhi reign, Wu Zetian was even able to work with him Go to the court hall and negotiate with the ministers about national government affairs . Over time, Wu Zetian's ambitions grew.
After the death of Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian became the empress dowager, but she still controlled the power of the central government and handled government affairs on behalf of the emperor. In later days, Wu Zetian could not satisfy such a status, and formally seized power from his son when he was 67 years old and became the first female emperor in the feudal history of our country.
after Wu Zetian ascended to the throne,She began to vigorously implement the reform policy. Same as the male emperor, Wu Zetian also hoped to establish her own "harem", which also made her recruit many male pets into the palace to accompany herself to play. In Wu Zetian's view, male pets are just like concubines, but under the protection of Wu Zetian, some male pets brazenly challenge the bottom line of the minister of the DPRK.
In 705, courtiers launched the Shenlong coup , and Wu Zetian’s two favorite male favorites, , Zhang Yizhi, Zhang and Chang were forced to retreat by Zhang and Span. The identity of the queen mother continues to live in the palace. shortly after Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate, she facilitated the death of in Shangyang Palace , ending her legendary life. In the process of studying the death of Wu Zetian by relevant experts, it is believed that the reason why Wu Zetian died shortly after her abdication is closely related to the relationship between her and the male pet.
During Wu Zetian's tenure as emperor, she was able to recruit male pets unscrupulously, but after becoming empress dowager, Wu Zetian had no suitable reason to call male pets into the palace. Long-term depression made Wu Zetian worse and worse. Finally, at the age of 82, Wu Zetian died of depression. After understanding these circumstances, experts said that even the history books are embarrassed to record the real cause of Wu Zetian's death.
Concluding remarks
By analyzing the many situations after Wu Zetian’s abdication, we will find that,Although on the surface, Wu Zetian is a very good female emperor, but a person is not perfect. In the process of analyzing Wu Zetian in later generations, his personal moral defects and his political achievements in life also have research value that cannot be ignored.
From this, we can find that every historical figure has a richer image. If we judge it with a single idea, it will prevent us from exploring the true history. Affected by this concept, in modern society, people can face Wu Zetian with a more objective attitude, and when judging Wu Zetian's merits and failures, everyone can also look at the problem from a rational perspective.
