First, never give up hope
This is also a sentence that we must mention when summarizing Wu Zetian’s life. As long as you are alive, nothing is unchangeable. Because most people who fall into her situation may be very pessimistic and lose confidence in life. But Wu Zetian didn't believe it, and her disbelief generated motivation. This is the first sentence we want to summarize.
Second, plan ahead
People should think more about themselves in advance. When did Wu Zetian think of this step for herself? Tang Taizong thought of this step for himself before he died. In the later years of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian had been in the harem for about ten years. Her status had not been improved at all, and it was obvious that she would have no chance in the future. At this time, she began to make plans for her future. She began to work hard to get close to the then crown prince Li Zhi, who later became Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. This relationship can be said to be the key factor for Wu Zetian to return to the Tang harem from Ganye Temple in the future.
Third, a breakthrough that suits you
Although Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong had a relationship before, how can we maintain, deepen, and strengthen this relationship so that the emperor can re-include her? What about the harem? This must be something she needs to consider. How does she solve this problem? Wu Zetian kept writing poems and love letters to Li Zhi in the nunnery. Why do we do this? Because this can attract Tang Gaozong. Tang Gaozong was a man with literary hobbies and literary talents. If you use poetry to impress him, it may be more effective than other means. Therefore, you must see what hobbies the person who can save you from the game has, and where you may have the most similarities with him. Wu Zetian used Tang Gaozong's love of literature to impress and attract him, and maintain his relationship with her. .
Fourth, decisively seize the opportunity
Wu Zetian seized Li Zhi and was moved by her love poems to visit her again in Ganye Temple. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This opportunity A little indulgence will be a loss and it will put a lot of pressure on people. Why? Because Li Zhi was the emperor and went to Ganye Temple to offer incense on the anniversary of the death of the late emperor. As a nun, could Wu Zetian perform well to push things forward? If one move goes wrong, everything will be lost. At this time, it depends on a person's judgment and whether he can handle some things decisively. When Li Zhi arrived at Ganye Temple, Wu Zetian did not hesitate, went up and held his hand and shed tears. In fact, such an act brought their initial relationship and deepened relationship to an end here, and formed a strong stimulus for Li Zhi. It was on the basis of this stimulus that Li Zhi expressed his attitude: "Don't give up." Wu Zetian was re-incorporated into the harem. So based on these actions, she regained the ticket to enter the harem and found a new starting point for her future success. Therefore, Wu Zetian took the right steps.
Eight-character evaluation:
Government opened up the Yuan Dynasty and governed Zhenguan
Measures she took: 1. Attacked the Tang Dynasty royal family and other aristocratic groups, using various methods Recruit talents; 2. Personally organize the compilation of agricultural books and issue them nationwide to guide agricultural production; 3. Encourage people to build water conservancy projects, plant mulberry and raise silkworms; 4. Order exemptions and reductions of taxes and corvees many times; 5. Take land reclamation and grain production as a An important basis for investigating local officials. The meaning is to praise her for developing the Zhenguan rule of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and laying the foundation for the prosperous Kaiyuan era of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
First point, it is undeniable that Wu Zetian is really beautiful. No matter what, in any dynasty, beauty is always a woman's passport. Wu Meiniang entered the palace at the age of 14, was named a "talented person", and was given the title "Meiniang". Although it is not as noble and delicate as Li Bai wrote about Chen Ajiao, who "coughed and fell down for nine days, and the wind gave birth to pearls and jade", but for a little palace maid who was not born in a noble family and had no political foundation, it was already an incredible favor. . In other words, without the beautiful first step to attract Tang Taizong, the story of Wu Zetian would be impossible to tell.
The second point is that as a woman, Wu Zetian was both beautiful and talented. Judging from the poem "Ruyi Niang" she wrote in the nunnery, we can see that Zhu Chengbi was full of thoughts and was haggard and fragmented as she recalled her husband.
Empress Lu never really managed the power of the outer court from beginning to end. She relied on nepotism, which made Lu family hated by others. Therefore, the Lu family was eradicated as soon as Empress Lu died.
To put it bluntly, in fact, people don’t care much about women being emperors, but no one who becomes emperor can only care about his own family. After all, everyone will benefit, right? Can you last longer if you want to eat alone? This has nothing to do with whether you can have children or not. Even if you only have one son, if you run the business well, you will still be the emperor.
It’s very simple. Miss Wu married Taizong first and then Gaozong. She studied first and then practiced. The most important thing is that she lived a long life after being young. For a strong man, living a long life is very important. Zhu Yuanzhang will live for 5 more years, what will happen to Zhu Di?
