Li Zhi: You kid, you have already received the reward once, and you still want it. I am also on the list.

Li Shimin: Zhinu, please stop speaking. If you are on the list, you might as well let this kid be on the list. Let a woman be the emperor. I don’t even know what to say about you.

"I have changed the tenth emperor to a female emperor. I don't need to say who I think it is!"

Zhao Kuangyin: Although the queen had meritorious service, she did not do well in her later years, and she was not good at military matters either.

"But Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, you are the ninth!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: Haha!What a slap in the face!I just said that the Queen is not worthy, look at the dynasties behind you, they are not as good as the Tang Dynasty!
Queen Ma: I think it’s good that the Queen is on the list. Although her achievements are not too high, she hasn’t done anything too outrageous. Compared with Emperor Kangxi, she is much better. She is also the only female emperor. I think this can be tolerated by everyone. It should also be higher.

Qin Liangyu: The changes in the Song Dynasty should not be blamed on Taizu. What happened later also happened after his younger brother ascended the throne. I can be regarded as avenging Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. However, I have no idea about the empress ranking tenth. Even though she is the only female emperor, I think it’s okay to be on the list.

Qin Shihuang: I also want to understand how this female emperor came to power. No matter how mediocre she was in the later period, in my opinion she was better than half of the emperors.

Everyone thought it was okay, but a few people from the Qing Dynasty were stinging to death.

Qianlong felt like crying but had no tears. He thought he could also ascend to the throne. With everyone fighting against the Qing Dynasty, he had no chance of becoming an outstanding emperor.

Kangxi's face was always red, and he was already embarrassed when some things were talked about. From the regret of Li Chu to the silence afterwards, he felt that he was not worthy.

Fortunately, he is only thirty now, and everything comes in time. It seems that the position of the prince must be settled by the fourth son early, and they cannot be allowed to fight randomly, and He Shen and the others...

"Redefining the ten outstanding emperors, the tenth emperor - Empress Wu Zetian."

"Everyone knows how chaotic the Tang Dynasty was. Let's not talk about the achievements. Let's talk about how Wu Zetian became the emperor."

"To talk about Wu Zetian, we should start from the early years of the Tang Dynasty."

"This starts with Wu Zetian's father, the warrior Tong. The ancestor of the warrior Tong was also a wealthy family. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were governors, generals and other high-ranking officials. However, after entering the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they gradually declined. The Wu family not only failed to maintain their class, but It’s a big fall.”

"When the warrior Xun grew up, he had no official position and had to do business to earn a living. It was not until the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty that he exchanged his property for the position of captain of the Yingyang Mansion."

(This is a military position in the Fubing system, the ninth rank, in charge of 100 people.)
"If everything is normal, this kind of people will either spend money to eliminate disasters or die on the battlefield in troubled times. Warrior Xun is unusual because he met Tang Guogong Li Yuan."

"When Li Yuan first arrived in Taiyuan, he often led his troops out of the city to suppress bandits."

"After the war, he liked to have a few drinks at the house of his new friend, Warrior Xun. Warrior Xun liked him and kept spending money on Li Yuan."

"Perhaps it was really to destroy the family to relieve the disaster. When Li Yuan raised the army, he did not forget the warm-hearted warrior Xun. Therefore, he got a position in the army. After entering Chang'an, he was named Guanglu Doctor and Taiyuan County Duke. Since then, he has been He was promoted to Minister of Industry and Duke of Ying."

"Although he is not in the core circle of power, at least he has a ticket to the upper class. This is a dangerous speculation. After the warrior Xun recognized it, he picked up all the chips and pressed it on Li Yuan, sacrificing his life in exchange for a jump in the family class. .”

"The god of luck favored him, and he made the right bet. This is very important. Without the hard work and speculation of the warrior Xun, he would not have been able to marry Yang, the daughter of the Sui Dynasty clan, and Li Shimin would not have had the chance to hear about Wu Zetian's beauty." "635 In [-], the warrior Yu passed away. His ex-wife, Xianglishi, had given birth to two sons by him. The two brothers disliked their stepmother and three younger sisters, and they were always sarcastic and used various tricks to bully them."

"Wu Zetian's girlhood was so miserable."

After she lived in dire straits for two years, Li Shimin's edict arrived. In 637, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin heard that the second daughter of the warrior Xun was beautiful, so he ordered the second daughter of the Wu family to enter the palace and named her "Wu Mei". "

"Whether it was the relatives of the Yang family who blew the wind to Li Shimin, I don't know, but Wu Zetian knew that this was her way out, "Do you know that it is not a blessing to serve the Holy Emperor? ""

"My life at home is not going well anyway, so why not be like my father and give up everything and go to the palace to give it a try. No matter what happens, I can still have a full meal. So, the 14-year-old girl walked into the palace."

"In this way, Wu Zetian, who was only 14 years old, entered the palace. At this time, the warrior Xun had also passed away for two years."

"Entering the palace is the starting point of Wu Zetian's life. Just like her father, this is a bet. If she wins, Wu Zetian will be in a high position and have a glorious life. If she loses, she may become a victim of the concubines in the powerful harem. She won the bet, and she won. Outrageous.”

"In the 11th year of Zhenguan, Wu Zetian had just turned 14 years old but she was already tall and graceful. Although she was still young, she was selected into the palace because of her extraordinary beauty and good conversation, and was named a "talented person"."

"Shortly after entering the palace, Taizong saw her beauty and understanding, so he gave her the nickname "Wu Mei"."

"This emperor is also fond of the new and hates the old. He doesn't cherish the things he gets. Coupled with the fact that there are so many people in the harem, Wu Zetian is gradually being ignored."

"And because the age gap between him and Tang Taizong is too big, he usually can't say a few words, but it was different when he met Li Zhi."

"Wu Zetian fell in love when she met Li Zhi, who was about the same age as herself. The two became familiar with each other and developed feelings for each other. From then on, the two often flirted with each other in private."

"In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty passed away, and all the concubines who had not yet given birth were sent to Chang'an Ganye Temple to have their hair cut off as nuns."

"Wu Zetian was very uncomfortable with the poverty of the temple. She took advantage of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's visit to the temple and secretly bribed the palace officials to pass on love letters."

"After two exchanges, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi rekindled their old relationship. Three years later, Li Zhi recalled Wu Zetian as an official and was given the title of "Zhaoyi" by the Jin Dynasty."

"Wu Zetian was extremely favored by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. She was sure to win the struggle in the harem. She was in the limelight for a while, so she had the idea of ​​​​taking the throne in the middle palace."

"However, deposing and establishing a queen was a major matter for the country, and the queen at that time did nothing wrong. Even though Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty doted on Wu Zetian, he could not make her his queen."

"Empress Wang was childless and loved children very much, but Wu Zetian gave birth to a little princess. She was so cute that she liked her very much and often came to take care of her."

"One day after the queen came to see the little princess, Wu Zetian killed the little princess personally, and then cried to Tang Gaozong and complained that the queen had killed the princess. Tang Gaozong was furious, deposed the queen, and made Wu Zetian his queen."

Hearing this, everyone was in disbelief and killed their own daughter just for the sake of becoming the queen.
