At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 117 Wu Meiniang

So Li Wu said that he had gotten used to these things in the Tang Dynasty and could accept them very well.

Barrage

Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin: What the immortal said is true. The Tang Dynasty was indeed quite chaotic. There were many relationships like that between Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Gaozong of Tang and the female empress. It was very normal in the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, he just couldn't accept it, but Tang Chao could understand it.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty: Although I like Emperor Taizong of Tang very much, I dare not agree with him.

Others who didn't know were also curious. So what on earth did Tang Chao do? Looking back, was it normal to compete with your own father for a woman?

Anyway, they think this matter is not normal!

Or are they just ignorant?

Can’t keep up with the thoughts of the people behind you?

Wu Zetian stared at Li Wu and asked, "Is it common in the Tang Dynasty?" She was a little confused.

Li Wu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you must have known that Emperor Taizong of Tang robbed his brother's wife, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang robbed his daughter-in-law. So it is very common and it is not surprising to you," and he waved his hand. The first two were not outrageous, but he really couldn't agree with the one about Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

After all, the age difference between them is not that big. But for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the age difference is more than 30 years. You tell her that this is love?

Isn't this just taking advantage of beauty and robbing people?

Wu Zetian was silent. After hearing what the immortal said, her affairs were actually nothing. She had not expected that the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang who came after her was even more outrageous than her.

However, from what the immortal said, we pieced together that she later returned the kingdom to the Li family.

This was something Wu Zetian had not expected. She had just become emperor and had not thought about this matter yet.

Barrage

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: This Tang Dynasty has really opened my eyes.

Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang: This man is more powerful than me. This Emperor Xuanzong of Tang even stole his own daughter-in-law.

After hearing Li Wu's words, it took the others a moment to react and they were a little confused.

The common people can accept the idea of ​​marrying their brother's wife. After all, this happens to them too. After their older brother or younger brother dies, they will marry their sister-in-law or younger brother's wife, so it is normal.

However, marrying a young girl or daughter-in-law is still quite explosive, and it rarely happens.

So people still discussed it.

Li Wu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, let's not discuss this matter. Let's talk about your deeds. From a small military talent, you fought back to become an emperor. You are still very powerful. At least in history, you are an absolute existence that people can't forget!"

Even if you don’t know history, you know that there was once a female emperor in history, right?

It has left a deep mark in history.

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Of course, please go ahead, little immortal." She had no doubts about telling her own deeds.

This is true for everyone who comes to the Sky Curtain.

And she has been through a lot in her life, so there is nothing she can't listen to.

"Your Majesty is named Wu Zhao. You chose this name yourself. The character Zhao was created by you. The sun and the moon in the sky are Zhao. This is your name, but we usually like to call you Wu Zetian."

Wu Zetian nodded. She had quite a lot of names, so there was nothing much to say about this one.

What she likes most is of course the name she gave herself, Wu Zhao!!!

"You are the second daughter of Wu Shigui, a founding hero. When your father was still alive, you and your mother lived a very good life. However, in the ninth year of the Zhenguan reign, your father passed away.

Now, life became difficult for you and your mother. Several of your cousins ​​took advantage of your misfortune and often bullied you and your mother.

Later, you moved to Chang'an with your mother.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, when Emperor Taizong of Tang arrived in Luoyang, he heard that the fourteen-year-old Empress Wu Zetian was very beautiful, so he summoned you into the palace, made you a talented person, and gave you the title of Wu Mei, so we also call you Wu Meiniang. "In the final analysis, you are just a pitiful person.

After my father died, there was no man in the family to rely on. I was looked down upon and bullied by my relatives. I didn’t know what to do.

Come to think of it, he must have suffered a lot.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin's face became increasingly grim. "It turns out that this is Wu Shigui's second daughter. Someone, bring her here!"

Others also never expected that the daughter of Wu Shigui was so powerful and later became an empress. Your Majesty will not let the Wu family go.

As for the Wu family, Wu Shigui’s face turned pale. He knew that he was doomed this time.

"It's over, it's over, our family is finished, His Majesty will not let us go," Wu Shigui looked at the little Wu Meiniang with red eyes.

But then I thought again, Your Majesty would not make things difficult for a four-year-old baby, right?

The little Wu Meiniang blinked her big eyes at her father, obviously not knowing what was going on.

"Wu Meiniang, oh, I haven't heard this name for a long time," Wu Zetian smiled and felt somewhat happy. His Majesty used to love to call her Meiniang, but since His Majesty's death, no one has called her that anymore. Now when she mentions it like that, it feels as if she were in another world.

"Is Her Majesty Wu Zetian missing Emperor Gaozong of Tang?" Li Wu asked.

Wu Zetian did not answer. It was not right to say whether she wanted to or not. She knew that she was sorry to His Majesty, but she did not regret becoming the emperor.

"Then shall I continue?"

Wu Zetian nodded, ate and listened to the "story", well, her own story!

"Your Majesty, you cried so hard that your eyes turned red on the day you entered the palace. It was your mother who said in her farewell speech that it was a blessing to serve the emperor, and sent you into the palace.

However, there is no record of your deeds with Emperor Taizong of Tang in history. Moreover, you have been in the palace for twelve years and your rank has always been that of a talented person. Therefore, it can be inferred that you were not favored by Emperor Taizong of Tang at that time.

However, there was a record in your later years that Emperor Taizong of Tang had a horse named Shizicong. It was very strong and a rare good horse, but it was difficult to tame.

At that time, Your Majesty Zetian was serving beside Emperor Taizong of Tang, and told him that you could tame it with just three things.

The iron whip, the iron rod, and the dagger. Use the iron whip to whip it. If it doesn't obey, hit its head with the iron rod. If it still doesn't obey, use the dagger to cut its throat!

After hearing what you said, Emperor Taizong of Tang praised you for your ambition, but you were still not favored.

Later, when Emperor Taizong of Tang was seriously ill, Your Majesty Wu Zetian took the initiative to serve him and established a relationship with Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi.

Two people with similar age differences were attracted to each other.

After Emperor Taizong of Tang passed away, Your Majesty, you had no children, so like other concubines, you could only go to Ganye Temple in Chang'an to become a nun. If nothing unexpected happened, you might have been a nun in Ganye Temple for the rest of your life," Li Wu shook her head. How old was Wu Zetian at that time? She was only in her twenties. She had wasted half of her life in the palace and later became a nun. Naturally, she was unwilling to accept this.
