Looking at the life of Wu Zetian , it is full of legend. As the first and only female emperor in history, she climbed step by step by step with her beauty when she was young, firmly grasped her destiny in her own hands, and pursued the peak of power throughout her life, and finally fell into the gentle land of men's beauty.
After the "Shenlong Transformation", Wu Zetian abdicated and died of worry, and she had a good end. She had a pity for her harem, especially her brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, who were beheaded and displayed in public. Her former glory and wealth were all turned into clouds.
Friends all know that Tang Dynasty was a very open and ridiculous era, with ethical and moral chaos: the son married his father and the father took his wife from time to time.
Wu Zetian's upward throne was very disgraceful:
Wu Zetian also had a very disgraceful past during the process of taking over.
Wu Zetian's original name is Wu Meiniang . He was selected as a concubine in the palace during his youth. Because of his extraordinary charm and appearance, he was deeply loved by Li Shimin .
But Li Shimin found that Wu Zetian was cruel and ruthless, so he ignored her and left her aside.
The scheming Wu Zetian tried every means to hook up with Li Shimin's son Li Zhi and started an inappropriate underground relationship.
Later, Li Shimin passed away and Li Zhi became the emperor, but as Li Shimin's widow, Wu Zetian had to cut off his hair and become a nun and become a monk to recite the Buddha's name.
Although Li Zhi was reluctant to leave, he was helpless in Wu Zetian's situation due to his ancestors.
Wu Zetian's life in the temple is very hard, and she especially wants to leave here. So she wrote a love poem for Li Zhi, expressing her helplessness and despair to the fullest, and said that she still loved Li Zhi deeply, but could not meet.
When this love poem was delivered to Li Zhi, Li Zhi looked at the poem written by his lover and could no longer bear it. Under the pressure of civil and military officials in the court, he issued an order to let Wu Zetian come back and named Wu Zetian " Wu Zhaoyi ".
Wu Zetian, who returned to the harem, managed the three palaces and six courtyards in an orderly manner, which also made Li Zhi and all the civil and military officials in the court very satisfied.
Then Li Zhi named Wu Zetian the "Queen", but at this time Wu Zetian was no longer satisfied with managing the harem, so she began to march towards the court to assist Li Zhi in governing the world.
Wu Zetian not only became the queen and took over the harem, but also gradually grasped the government affairs because of Emperor Gaozong of Tang 's health.
After the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Wu Zetian, as the empress dowager, still called the dynasty .
In the first year of days of , Wu Zetian even drove his son off the throne, proclaimed himself emperor, changed the country's name to Zhou, and established his capital Luoyang . After
, Wu Zetian called himself the "Wu Sheng", and the Tang Dynasty had an unprecedented scene of " Two Saints Reigning the Dynasty ".
Wu Zetian’s male favorite:
It is said that men like beautiful colors, but women also like beautiful colors, but they just don’t meet that condition.
It was not until Queen Wu Zetian ascended the throne that she had the conditions to like beauty. Although she did not have a national talent show like the male emperor, she also had several blue-faced confidants who met late at night.
Wu Zetian returned to the harem with exhaustion every day after finishing her country's affairs. At night, it was a time when people were lonely and lonely. Wu Zetian was no exception. She trained her to meet her needs in the harem to solve her needs.
So Wu Zetian set up a special organization called "Crane Control Supervision", with the purpose of finding and collecting handsome men among the people as their male favorites.
Baiwei explains to you what is "face-to-face"? A woman is called a concubine, and a man is called a concubine. In fact, she is the male favorite raised by Wu Zetian in the harem, and she is used to enjoy her day and night.
In fact, if the face is just kept in the harem, it would be harmless for yourself to have fun. However, the face that Wu Zetian raised was not satisfied with the current situation and wanted to interfere in the government.
Wu Zetian has many faces, but only four people left their names in history. Next, Baiwei will introduce them to you one by one.
The first willful face: Xue Huaiyi ;
When Wu Zetian was 61 years old, her favorite baby Xue Huaiyi appeared.
At that time, Xue Huaiyi was called Feng Xiaobao . He was quite handsome and handsome. Not only did he behave well in the art of sex, but he was also very good at speaking and talking sweetly, so he fell in love.
In order to allow Xue Huaiyi to be by his side day and night, without making people suspicious, Wu Zetian came up with a solution to make Xue Huaiyi shaved her head and live in the palace as a monk for a long time.
Xue Huaiyi has been with Wu Zetian for more than ten years and has always been Wu Zetian's heart. Unexpectedly, after Xue Huaiyi clings to Wu Zetian, he began to float away and gradually became willful.
actually dared to publicly oppose court officials, had conflicts with the prime minister, and walked sideways in the palace middle school. In the end, even Wu Zetian didn't take it seriously, and he no longer took the initiative to run into the palace. Even Wu Zetian summoned him into the palace and was tired of dealing with it. He only went four or five times when he was summoned.
even did many extraordinary things such as "burning Mingtang". In desperation, Wu Zetian had to hint that Princess Taiping was executed.
But without Xue Huaiyi, Wu Zetian's world began to be dark again.
The second warm man's face: Shen Nanyan (qiú);
Wu Zetian spent a while sad after losing Xue Huaiyi, but happiness came too suddenly, and another glimmer of dawn suddenly appeared in Wu Zetian's life.
One night, Wu Zetian had unbearable abdominal pain, so he ordered someone to call the imperial physician Shen Nanyu. Shen Nanmu stepped forward and carefully took Wu Zetian's pulse. Wu Zetian grabbed his wrist, looked at him with affection and tenderness and said, "You stay with me tonight."
This Shen Nanmu is over 40 years old and is a few years older than Wu Zetian, but because he is very proficient in health preservation, his skin is white and healthy, and has a handsome appearance, and his whole body exudes the charm of a mature man.
Another important reason is that Shen Nan and Miao Chang were quite similar to Li Shimin, so Wu Zetian had long been coveting him.
Baiwei will analyze it here. If you say it from a psychological perspective, what you can't get is always the best.
Because Wu Zetian was very affectionate to Li Shimin when she first entered the palace, but Li Shimin hates her ruthlessness and is not very fond of her, so Wu Zetian's emotional life for the past 12 years after entering the palace was also dull.
But now it is different. I have become the emperor who holds the power of life and death and is the only one who speaks the same thing. Whoever I like will have to follow me.
can also be put in other words: there seems to be a kind of obsession with Li Shimin deep in her heart that is controlling her.
Speaking of Shen Nanyu, he is really a warm man. Baiwei analyzed that it may be because of his doctoral profession that Wu Zetian is caring for considerate and unique gentleness.
Moreover, according to "Romance of the Tang Dynasty", Shen Nanmiao's art of sex is better than Xue Huaiyi, and he loves Wu Zetian every night, and is even more favored.
Since then, Shen Nanyu has become Wu Zetian's personal male favorite and has been favored by Wu Zetian.
In order to maintain his first position, and to meet Wu Zetian's needs, Shen Nanyu began to continuously take medicines to strengthen his physical fitness.
However, due to the influence of age, Shen Nanyu, who was not weak and unsupported, did not see much strength in the end. Because of excessive indulgence, he died on Wu Zetian's dragon bed.
Having written this, Baiwei didn’t know if it should be said that Wu Zetian was too fierce? Or is Shen Nanyu too weak?
The third and fourth handsome and healthy face-to-face brothers: Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong:
both say "the daughter is the mother's little cotton-padded jacket", and this sentence also applies to Wu Zetian and her daughter Princess Taiping.
Before becoming the leader of a male favorite, he must experience it by Princess Taiping personally. Only when he feels satisfied will he be sent to Wu Zetian.
Princess Taiping knew Wu Zetian's idea well, so she recommended Zhang Changzong, who was extremely satisfied with her trial, to Wu Zetian, which immediately made Wu Zetian, who was obsessed with the loss of Shen Nan's death, smiled.
Zhang Changzong came from a famous family. His father was the prime minister of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xingcheng , known as " Liulang ". He is as beautiful as a lotus and elegant as a person. He is not only proficient in music but also skilled in scheming.
On the same day, Wu Zetian appointed Zhang Changzong as the "General of Yunhui" and exercised the power of "Left Qianniu General", which was equivalent to the position of a "third-rank" military officer.
Zhang Changzong saw that Wu Zetian was too energetic and was afraid that he could not handle her. In order to consolidate the rights in his hands, he decided to ask his brother for help and provide timely help, so he recommended his brother Zhang Yizhi to Wu Zetian.
Under Zhang Changzong's sweet words, Wu Zetian immediately became interested in Zhang Yizhi, and insisted on seeing with his own eyes what the man "beautiful as a fairy" looked like?
and Wu Zetian was immediately overjoyed when she saw Zhang Yi with a nice appearance. After hearing and seeing Zhang Yizhi's talent performance, she couldn't help but feel her turbulent heart. She was lucky that night and brought him into the harem.
Then he was granted the title of "Siwei Shaoqing", and he was awarded a house with five hundred silk and silk, dozens of male servants and maids, camels and cattle and horses for his use.
A few days later, Zhang Changzong was promoted to the "Yinqing Guanglu Dafu" and granted the "Anti-Gao Official" as a guard. Like the ministers, he met Empress Wu on the first and fifteenth day of every month; he recognized his father Zhang Xizang as the governor of Xiangzhou , and his mother Wei and Zang were named the Grand Lady. The female officials in the palace had to visit and pay tribute every day.
The brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong entered the palace for less than half a month, and their official positions were promoted one after another, and their power shocked the government and the public. After these two were favored, they became even more popular than the previous two.
All civil and military officials and brothers from the Wu family rushed to come to the door to please and flatter them, and personally led the horses and kicked them.
Later, people respectfully called Zhang Yizhi " Wulang " and Zhang Changzong "Liulang". The two brothers tried their best to make up when going in and out of the palace every day, applying makeup and dressing gorgeously, which was very pleasing.
In Wu Zetian's later years, the two brothers of the Zhang family were always with each other because they had a healthy body and handsome appearance, which greatly met Wu Zetian's needs. They stayed with Wu Zetian for eight years, and together with Wu Queen, they were singing day and night, and could not do so.
The Zhang brothers began to be arrogant and do whatever they wanted;
In his later years, Wu Zetian became ignoring the government and began to specialize in his hobbies: handsome men and handsome men.
Wu Zetian asked the two brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi to manage the Crane Control Supervisor, and chose a man just like choosing a concubine.
Everyone understands that as long as the empress is attracted to, the future career will be much faster. For this reason, many people began to flatter Zhang Changzong, and many people bribed Zhang Changzong.
After taking power, the Zhang brothers became increasingly arrogant and domineering, not taking anyone seriously, and made the entire court full of chaos.
For example: Prince Li Xian 's son, Shao Wang Li Chongrun and Princess Yongtai , secretly discussing the two Zhangs in power.
After being found out by the Zhang brothers, they complained to Wu Zetian. As a result, Li Xian was not only scolded by Wu Zetian, but also Prince Shao Li Chongrun and Princess Yongtai were forced to hang themselves.
Also like: The Zhang brothers also forced Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Yanji to death.
Another example: Zhang Changzong did not care about Princess Taiping's past recommendation at all. In order to defeat the censor Wei Yuan, who had always been dissatisfied with him.
even used any means to falsely accuse General Wei Yuan and Princess Taiping's male favorite "Sili Cheng" Gao Jian, who had an affair with Prince Li Xian and plotted to rebel. In the end, Gao Jian was thrown into prison.
This made Princess Taiping angry, thinking that Zhang Changzong was too ruthless and did not think about the past relationship at all, and hated Zhang Changzong to the extreme.
Di Renjie advised Wu Zetian to quit sex;
I really couldn't bear it Di Renjie found Wu Zetian and persuaded earnestly: "Your Majesty is a wise master, why did you lose your reputation by the two Zhangs?"
Wu Zetian pondered for a moment, and then asked Di Renjie to come to him. First, let Di Renjie look at her hair: "My dear, look down. Although I am over 70 years old, I actually have a lot of black hair on my head." Then, let Di Renjie look at her new teeth.
When Di Renjie finished reading these two things: Wu Zetian's hair and teeth, he instantly understood what Wu Zetian meant and was speechless.
Because, Wu Zetian was already seventy years old at this time, and people of this age basically had no teeth and their hair had basically turned white or lost.
Di Renjie knew that Wu Zetian was reminding herself: she was not old yet, and she still had the energy to continue to torture, continue to have fun, and continue to manage the government.
Di Renjie is a smart man, and Wu Zetian has the kindness of knowing him, so he can only keep silent. From then on, he never said that Wu Zetian would be exempted from the advice of Zhang's two people.
After Wu Zetian's death, the government returned it to Li Tang again. One emperor and another minister, Wu Zetian buried the queen, and the two Zhang brothers were executed.
Conclusion:
If you have to tell Wu Zetian right or wrong in his life, then Wu Zetian led the Tang Dynasty to prosperity and strength, and her life must be right.
As for her raising a male pet, it is just her personal little habit, and it is understandable that it has not damaged the situation in the court.
Although Wu Zetian enjoys too much, as a female emperor, her male favors are indeed less than the concubines of male emperors of all generations.
But then again, even if Wu Zetian has a male favorite, at the peak of her power, who can resolve it with those endless loneliness?
