Wu Zetian is the only orthodox female emperor in Chinese history. According to anecdotes, no matter how ambitious the Wu family was, if it wasn't for the weakness and cowardice of Tang Gaozong, a woman from a poor family, how could it not have jumped from a little palace maid who didn't know the world's affairs to become a big villain in the world generation of queens. But the fact is that Tang Gaozong in history Li Zhi was wise and decisive, and his personal ability was extremely strong. Wu Zetian's later achievements were entirely intentional by Li Zhi.
Kill the eldest brother in a few words and ascend to the crown prince without any effort
Most people's impression of Gaozong is that he is weak but kind, so he is controlled by the powerful Wu clan. But in fact, Li Zhizi inherited his father's business. During his reign, the national power was the peak of the Tang Dynasty, and the territory was the most expansive peak in the past three hundred years. He was a genuine and wise emperor. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Chengqian and Han Wang Li Yuanchang were deposed by Taizong because of the army to force the palace. The fourth son of the emperor Li Tai is complacent. Since his brother has no hope of establishing a reserve, it is naturally his turn. In order to prevent Li Zhi from getting involved, He threatened Li Zhi with the involvement of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, in the rebellion, calling him Li Zhi. Friendship with it will be implicated.
Taizong noticed in the courtroom that his younger son was very worried, and asked more questions. Li Zhicai cowardly told Li Tai's threat to him, and he kept begging for his brother. And 's eldest grandson, Wuji , fanned the flames, believing that it is feasible to make Li Zhi the prince because of his pure, kind and kind personality. In this way, Li Zhi did not spend one soldier or one soldier,He used his strength to push Li Tai away from the close altar , he also maintained his image in Taizong's heart and successfully ascended the position of the prince.
After the confinement of the Wu clan, the curve saved the country, and the rectification of the clansmen was fierce
After ascending the throne, Li Zhi governed the Tang Dynasty according to his father's last wishes, but he was constrained by his eldest grandson Wuji everywhere, and the entire court was monopolized by clansmen and nobles. At that time, Li Zhi wanted to punish but had nowhere to start. It happened that Wu Zetian's Ganye Temple exchanged heartfelt feelings with him, and he took the boat back to the palace. At that time, the queen of came from a noble family, and Zhangsun Wuji was the supporter of the queen. Li Zhi deliberately cut off the arms of Guanlongmen, and the first to strike was Queen Wang.
He has the heart to support the underprivileged children in the imperial court, but the eldest grandson Wuji clan has controlled the imperial court for a long time, and it is difficult to gain the trust of these underprivileged families. political signal. However, the matter of establishing Wu Zetian as the empress was fiercely obstructed by Changsun Wuji at that time. After the matter passed, Li Zhi began to purge the imperial court. Chu Suiliang , who opposed the first three dynasties after Wu's conferring, was demoted Chang'an . He also used the mouth of his officials to report Zhangsun Wuji's rebellion, exiled the clan and his family, cut the mess, and took back the power of the court without any hesitation. died.
Suffering from a chronic illness, he had no choice but to let go of his power. The Empress Wu joined politics and recruited important officials
The good times did not last long. This disease is called "duokufengji", which is a genetic disease of the Li family, Li Yuan , Li Shimin and several later emperors all suffered from this disease.Frequent dizziness, twitching of the limbs, and sudden fainting in severe cases. Li Zhi's physical condition was deteriorating day by day, and his handling of government affairs and court filings was greatly affected.
In order not to delay the country's political affairs, Li Zhisi decided to find an assistant to help him handle political affairs. But with the eldest grandson Wuji in front, there are bound to be relatives behind, and the eunuchs around him don't know a few big characters, there is no reliable person among the brothers, and there is no reliable person in the court. Li Zhi had a headache, and after thinking about it, he could only focus his attention on the harem. Empress Wu had a falling out with her mother's family, her background was low, she had no cronies in the court, and she was by her side every day. Women can't infect the imperial power, they are the best candidates.
After a series of professional trainings by Li Zhi, Empress Wu began to correct the memorials for Li Zhi. She is indeed insightful, and she always hits the spot in the reply, which is highly appreciated by Li Zhi. It didn't take long for Tang Gaozong and Empress Wu to start a drastic reform of the court system, and the children of the poor family were reused. But these two important ministers have already quietly changed their allegiance. As the Wu clan's regime expands step by step, her ambitions also expand.
The wake-up call sounded after he wanted to abolish it for more than ten years
Li Zhi was not a fool. Immediately, he took action against Li Yifu, who had become a close confidant of the Empress Wu. He ordered a series of people headed by Shangguanyi to investigate Li Yifu, punished for several crimes, and directly demoted the new right minister to Shu. In the harem, there were many reprimands against the Wu clan, while Shangguan Yi began the road of impeachment of the Empress Wu in the previous dynasty. Li Zhi intended to suppress this ambitious queen,Even the post-abolition edict was written.
Empress Wu's intelligence network spread throughout the harem, and she soon learned of this. This queen broke into Li Zhi's palace. From the first meeting of the two to the Ganye Temple, Xiaozhi moved her with reason, and Li Zhi was soft-hearted. things were left behind. Since then, Empress Wu has followed Li Zhi to the court together. For more than ten years, rain or shine, Li Zhi sat in front of the dragon chair, and she sat behind the curtain to rule. The power of the world is no longer determined by the emperor alone, but by the husband and wife Make a decision together, and the history book calls it " Two Saints Proceedings".
In 683 AD, Emperor Gaozong died of illness. At the age of 59, Wu Zetian supported his two sons as puppet emperors. . It can be said that Wu Zetian was able to wield such great power without the training and support of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Before his death, there was no smart and courageous prince to be the heir, and the worst result would be Sichen, but Li Tang Jiangshan will continue, but he did not expect Wu clan to be so ambitious and become the first empress of the ages.
