"Wu Zetian has been a talented person for 12 years, but he has not been favored by Li Shimin, and his status has never been improved. During Li Shimin's serious illness, Wu Zetian and Prince Li Zhi began to establish a relationship."

"Cough cough cough!" Li Shimin spat out a sip of tea, his eyes widened.

What did he hear just now?His son, and his talents?Forging a relationship in his later years when he was seriously ill?

The group of people who followed Li Shimin lowered their heads like a group of quails.

They knew that they would definitely not hear anything good!What are these things?

Chaos in the palace?The prince and his father's concubine?Is this what they can listen to?

"Continue...cough cough cough! Continue!" Li Shimin blushed, not sure if he was angry or coughing.

"In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, that is, in 649, Li Shimin coughed, you understand?"

Li Shimin:...

Ministers: We dare not understand! ! !

"Wu Zetian went to Chang'an Ganye Temple as a nun together with some concubines without children as usual, but she has always been disconnected from the newly enthroned Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi."

Li Shimin was in a trance right now, silently calculating how long he could live.

"In the first year of Yonghui, that is, in May of 650, Li Zhi met Wu Zetian again when he went to Ganye Temple to commemorate the anniversary of Li Shimin's death."

"Li Zhi and Wu Zetian knew each other. The Queen who fell out of favor because of childlessness saw it, so she took the initiative to ask Li Zhi to bring Wu Zetian into the palace, in an attempt to hit her rival in love, Concubine Xiao Shu. Li Zhi had already intended this , agree immediately."

"In May of the second year of Yonghui, Li Zhi's filial piety period expired, and Wu Zetian entered the palace again. Before entering the palace, Wu Zetian was pregnant. After entering the palace, she gave birth to her son Li Hong."

Li Shimin felt that his head was really hurting, what kind of shit is this!

"There are historical records that Wu Zetian strangled his own daughter to death and blamed the queen on the throne in order to fight for favor."

"But this statement is controversial, because there are also historical records that the princess died suddenly, and there is no reason for it."

"From then on, Li Zhi had a plan to "abolish the king and establish the military", but was blocked by the senior ministers headed by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang."

"In October of the sixth year of Yonghui, Li Zhi finally issued an imperial edict to depose the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu as ordinary people and imprison them in other courtyards on the charge of "conspiracy to poison."

"Seven days later, Li Zhi issued another edict to make Wu Zetian the empress. At the same time, he demoted Chu Suiliang, the prime minister who opposed him the most. On the first day of November, a ceremony was held to enshrine Wu Zetian as empress."

"Stupid! Extremely stupid!" Li Shimin was very puzzled, how could his son be like this.

"In the fourth year of Xianqing, that is, in April 659, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi reached a consensus to dismiss Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining, Han Yuan, Laiji and others from their posts and demote them from the capital."

"So far, Li Zhi has basically realized the monarchy, centralization, and power. Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the situation of imperial power has been changed, and it has had a great impact on the history of Huaguo."

Li Shimin didn't know what to say for a while, the veteran who followed him was demoted, and his talented person became the queen of his son.

But this incident indirectly achieved his desire to firmly control power in his own hands.

"One year later, in October of the fifth year of Xianqing, Li Zhifeng suffered a seizure, dizzy and unable to handle state affairs, so Wu Zetian was asked to handle the government affairs."

"Confused! How can the harem be involved in politics!" Let alone Li Shimin's unwillingness, Wei Zheng was the first to jump out, his face full of indignation.

"In the first year of Shangyuan, that is, in August 674, Li Zhi was called the emperor, and Wu Zetian was called the queen. In December, Wu Zetian made twelve proposals, which were all adopted by Li Zhi, and issued an edict for implementation."

"Twelve things to suggest?" All the ministers were puzzled.

"The Twelve Things of Suggestions refer to Empress Wu Zetian's twelve policies to enrich the country and strengthen the people. This policy is for the sake of ordinary people and middle-level and lower-level officials, and strives for their interests, and has won the support of the vast majority of the people and officials."

"These twelve articles can be summed up to express four meanings. One is to enrich the country and strengthen the people, the other is to make good use of talents, the third is to win over officials, and the fourth is to improve the status of women."

After hearing this, Li Shimin and others had complicated faces. Should I say that Wu Zetian is very good at governing the country.

"If this Wu Zetian was a man, she must be the role of a prince and prime minister!" Li Shimin sighed.

Although other people also thought so in their hearts, no one dared to say this.

"In the second year of the Shangyuan period, Li Zhi suffered from severe wind dizziness. He wanted to give the throne to the empress, so he discussed with the ministers and planned to let Wu Zetian be the regent. The prime minister Hao Chujun advised him to suspend the discussion temporarily."

"Nizi!" Li Shimin felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his forehead, "Nonsense! Nonsense! How can I give the Zen seat to a woman!"

The accompanying ministers were all stunned, they never expected that Li Zhi would have the idea of ​​a Zen seat.

Originally let Wu Zetian be the regent, and even called her the queen, they gritted their teeth and accepted it.

At least this country is still surnamed Li.

"In the second year of Yongchun, 683, Li Zhi passed away in December. His dying edict: Prince Li Xian ascended the throne in front of the coffin. If there are important military and state affairs that cannot be decided, Empress Wu Zetian will decide."

"Four days later, Li Xian ascended the throne as Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, and respected Wu Zetian as the Empress Dowager."

Li Shimin and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was the descendants of the Li family who succeeded.

Unexpectedly, Father Chu's next sentence almost made them so angry that they went straight to heaven.

"Later, in the first year of Tianshou, which was 690, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to Zhou, set the capital in Luoyang, called it "the capital of God", and established Wu Zhou."

"She...she...she became the emperor?!" Li Shimin's face was full of disbelief, "The world recognizes it? How is this possible?!"

"I admit it." Chu's father nodded, "Before and after Wu Zetian's reign, he was discerning and decisive, multi-power strategy, knowing people and doing well, paying attention to the selection of talents, creating the palace examination, military examination and official examination system, and rewarding farming and mulberry, reforming the administration of officials .”

"To be honest, from the perspective of our future generations, Wu Zetian is a very remarkable emperor."

"At the same time, she is also the only female emperor in the history of China."

Li Shimin didn't know what to say for a while, but when it came to politics, achievements and deeds, he really admired Wu Zetian.

But the crux of the problem is that Wu Zetian, the empress of this generation, conspired to seize the land of his Li family!

For a while Li Shimin's mind was turned and turned, and he even wanted to ask which family Wu Zetian was the daughter of, so he just cut it off from the beginning.

But I don't know why, but I feel a little bit reluctant to let go of such a talent.

Li Shimin thought of the women he saw in the supermarket in this later life in the past two days, which one was not full of scriptures.

Moreover, the women of these later generations are not like the women of Tang Dynasty, who can only be trapped in the back house.

They can work with men and do better than many men.

What if, what if, I promoted Wu Zetian, who would have been included in the harem, to the top of the imperial court?
