At first, she used to be a little girl who didn't understand the world. Then, she upgraded step by step in the workplace in Shen Gong, and came back against the wind to become the ultimate winner.
Wu Zetian's legendary life was written in the book Zetian Wuhou. The author Gui Bao graduated from the Literature Department of Kyoto University and is now a researcher at the Oriental Library.
Then, let's follow this book "Wuhou is in Heaven" into the royal family of the Tang Dynasty and see how she started as a newcomer to the palace and gradually improved herself to become the ultimate winner.
A, have a good resume, also need to seize the opportunity.
Wu Zetian was originally named Wu Zhao, and her father Wu Shihuo was born in a poor peasant family. After he made a fortune in the timber business, he paid off a small military attache with money and got to know Li Yuan. During Li Yuan's military service, he provided a lot of help. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he reciprocated by promoting him to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry with three products, and betrothed his niece, Yang, his biological mother, to him as his wife.
Later, tang gaozu died of illness, and Wu Shihuo died of pain and vomiting blood. Fourteen-year-old Wu Zhao was recruited into the palace by Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin because of her beauty. With a resume with both advantages of birth and appearance, Wu Zhao took the first step in her career.
Wu Zhao, who just entered the palace, was named a talent, but he didn't get the chance to be favored. Later, Li Shimin was ill in bed, and Wu Zhao, who was taking care of his illness, took the opportunity to meet Prince Li Zhi, who left a deep impression on him and successfully occupied the heart of the future boss.
After the death of Emperor Taizong, Prince Li Zhi inherited Tang Gaozong. Under his arrangement, Wu Zhao took her hair into the Weini Moral Temple. This process is not tortuous. Fascinated by her, Gaozong often went to the temple to meet her secretly, so she got pregnant and waited for a proper opportunity to enter the palace.
And this opportunity was quickly seized by Wang Huang, the pig's rival. Jealous with jealousness, Queen Wang took him back to the palace from the moral hall and sealed him as a second product. Wu Zhao jumped directly from a newcomer to an executive position.
Second, if you want to be an elite, you must let your boss appreciate you.
If you want to get along well in the workplace, you must have contacts and the appreciation of your boss. Wu Zhao wanted to establish her position in the harem as soon as possible. She seized the body and mind of Emperor Gaozong and conquered him. On the other hand, she showed weakness to the queen and quietly cultivated her palace power.
When the Queen and Xiao Shufei found out that she was spoiled, the situation could not be changed. But Wu Zhao didn't rest easy. She strangled her newborn daughter and framed the queen, which reminded Li Zhi of the abandoned queen. Thanks to the appreciation and blessing of her boss Li Zhi, 33-year-old Wu Zhao was named the queen and ascended to a high position in Shen Gong.
When she reached the peak, she first wiped out the grass and executed Wang Xiao. Then her eldest son, Li Hong, became a prince and got rid of those who opposed her, such as Han Yuan, Chu Suiliang and his grandson's uncle.
Then, because Li Zhi was ill, there was no way to handle state affairs normally, and Wuhou had to listen to state affairs together and slowly hand them over to her. Li Zhi, who was often ill in bed, began to consider training successors. However, Wu Hou has always been occupied by power, and her sons have become her imaginary enemies and stumbling blocks to the top.
Prince Li Hong was poisoned after violating martial law. Li Xian, the second son, succeeded to the throne, but was rejected by Wuhou. He directly abolished the confinement and changed his third son, Li Zhe, into a prince. After Li Zhi's death, Wuhou demoted Li Zhe to the king of Luling. The last son, Li Dan, became emperor in a daze and stayed in the temple all day. Wuhou began to take charge of state affairs aboveboard.
Third, the rise and fall as the ultimate winner.
Wuhou is very scheming. She found the stones of Buddhist classics "The Great Cloud Sutra" and "The Virgin of Emperor Yongchang" through her confidants, claiming that she was the reincarnation of the Virgin, and should comply with public opinion and ascend to the throne as soon as possible. Zong Rui Li Dan couldn't sit still. He indicated to Wuhou that he was willing to resign as emperor. The marquis of Wu thought that the time had come, and he acceded to the throne and changed his country name to Zhou, which was called Wu Zhou Dynasty.
She is good at employing people, and has selected a large number of talents through the imperial examination and martial arts, such as Lou Deye, Di and so on. It also reserved a large number of talents for the arrival of Kaiyuan Shengshi.
On the issue of the prince, Wu Zetian was a little worried, and she didn't know whether to pass the throne on to her son or nephew. Di Renjie saw her mind and offered to take back the demoted Luling King. Wu Zetian considered for a long time, and finally chose to make King Luling a prince, and changed his name from Li Zhe to Li Xian.
At this time, Wu Zetian's health is getting worse every day. Zhang Jianzhi, the prime minister, established himself as a prince and launched a palace revolution. The marquis of Wu regained power under the leadership of the prince. Li Xian acceded to the throne, known as Tang Zhongzong.
At the end of this year, Wuhou died, and posthumous title was the "Great Sage Queen" of Zhongzong. Later generations set up a wordless monument in Ganling, where she was buried with Tang Gaozong, to commemorate the unprecedented female emperor.
