Wu Zetian's greatest feature is "charm", which is also the reason why Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong "gave Wu Mei". Charm is not synonymous with beauty, but belongs to the category of temperament, focusing on flattery and expression, and flashing wisdom in femininity-this point I mentioned in the last question and answer. These are extremely lethal to the cowardly Prince Li Zhi, but they are not attractive to the political strongman Li Shimin. Fresh for a while, but tired for a long time-this is exactly in line with the life track of Emperor Taizong towards Wu Zetian.
Tang Taizong was a mature and successful politician, whose ideological depth and breadth far exceeded that of Wu Zetian at that time-after all, he was only in his twenties and had no subsequent experience. Wu Zetian's political consideration is immature and boring to the sophisticated Emperor Taizong. Lao Li prefers mature, steady and warm-hearted women, that is, the model grandson queen of the harem.
As the master of the harem, the eldest grandson never went to court online-only when he was dying did he recommend the later pillars of the empire. Instead, he encouraged her husband with appreciation and affirmation, and reminded him to give advice and not to believe slanderers. The two not only had close eye contact, but also knew each other. The eldest grandson is not only a wife or queen in Lao Li's mind, but also an inseparable good friend, good partner and political haven. Besides love, he has more respect. This is the emotional sublimation honed by long-term harmony, which is irreplaceable by ordinary people.
Wu Zetian is good at management, but her culture is not high. Her eldest grandson is at least equivalent to the current undergraduate degree. Not only did she personally compile ten volumes of Women's Rules, but she also wrote a paper criticizing consorts' interference in politics. She did the same. When Emperor Taizong promoted her brother Sun Chang Wuji, she obviously disagreed. Just after Emperor Taizong promoted her, she quietly sent word to her brother to resign. These books and articles were not read by Emperor Taizong until the death of his eldest grandson. They are virtuous and virtuous, and their natural charm is enduring, which also dwarfs Wu Zetian, who has a strong desire to express herself.
The warm politics of the eldest grandson is the great wisdom that Li Shimin likes, and it is also what Wu Zetian, who is "disobedient by nature" and "with ulterior motives" (as King Robin said), lacks. Xiaowu's political rivers and lakes are exposed and his enthusiasm is high. Finally, it was so hot that Emperor Taizong could not open his eyes, and it was so hot that it changed hands in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not as hot as Emperor Taizong. Because he doesn't need it or like it.
It should be noted that Wu Zetian entered the palace in the second year after the death of her eldest grandson, and there was no intersection between them. At that time, Emperor Taizong was obsessed with beauty-presumably related to the loneliness and emptiness after losing his eldest grandson, but no one could be a queen. As for Wu Zetian, who was all-powerful later, even if she replaced her eldest grandson, it was difficult to find a place among many beautiful women until the death of Emperor Taizong.
Li Shimin doesn't like Wu Zetian because of an important factor, that is, Wu Zetian's bloody and abnormal horse training method-Emperor Taizong Li Shimin got a BMW called "Lion Ride", which was tall but wild at heart. No one in Li Shimin can handle it. One day, Emperor Taizong took the concubines of the harem to see Lion Qi and asked who could tame it. The other women didn't speak, and the girl Wu Zetian said, "I can control it." However, three things are needed, one is iron whip, the other is hammer, and the third is dagger. Beat it with iron whip first, then knock it on the head with a hammer if you don't agree, or use daggers at both ends of its throat if you don't agree. Li Shimin was shocked when a teenage girl said such a thing. Although she was disgusted with the blood and cruelty hidden in Wu Zetian's language, she began to alienate her and was probably a little wary of her.
The answer is-Tommy, the special author of the world of teasing fish.
It can't be said that Emperor Taizong didn't like Wu Zetian. After all, it is not easy to be elected to the harem and become a talent.
In the harem system of the Tang Dynasty, the queen's position is the most distinguished, and there are four ladies, namely, the imperial concubine, the Shu princess, the De princess and the Xian princess, which are the best. Under his wife are nine wives, namely: Zhao Yi, Zhao Rong, Zhao Yuan, Yixiu, Xiurong, Xiu Yuan, Yi Fu, Fu Rong, Fu Yuan and Zheng Er. Further down, there are nine Jieyu, and they are three products. Nine dollars, just four. Nine talents and five products. There are 27 people with more than one talent. Lin Bao has twenty-seven people under the talent, and they are six products. Twenty-seven royal women, seven events. Twenty-seven women were selected, and they were eight products.
Wu Zetian was a talented person in the era of Emperor Taizong. Compared with the queen and the imperial concubine, her status is really low and she is easily buried among the people. However, take a look at the back of the talented people. In fact, there are still many people, which is quite far from the bottom.
Xu Hui, the virtuous princess that Emperor Taizong liked very much, was once recognized as a talent, and soon became a master, and then filled her capacity. Xu Huiwen was excellent and witty, which won the appreciation of Emperor Taizong. After the death of Emperor Taizong, Xu Hui was grateful for his gratitude, hoping that he could accompany him to the grave and express his ambition with poetry. As a result, he became ill because of grief and died soon, at the age of 24. Give it to the virtuous princess after death.
Counting down, Xu Hui is only a few years older than Wu Zetian. A person's favorite object is usually concentrated on one person, just like later Tang Xuanzong to Yang Guifei. Old Emperor Taizong had a young and virtuous Xu Hui, and they could have a good exchange and discussion, so naturally they had no time to love others as soon as possible. Even if Wu Zetian has talent and looks, it is estimated that there are few opportunities to show it in front of Emperor Taizong, so it is difficult to by going up one flight of stairs.
Wu Zetian is smart and beautiful, but she can't get the love of Emperor Taizong. It should be the following reasons:
First, Wu Zetian was born in poverty, not the daughter of a noble family.
People in the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to their family status, especially in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. Between celebrities and poor women, the emperor prefers celebrities. Wu Zetian's father was born in the cold clan, and Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, is said to be the heir to the imperial clan of the Sui Dynasty, but this is only a one-sided statement with no definite evidence. If Wu Zetian is the daughter of a noble family, Emperor Taizong will pay special attention to it.
Second, Wu Zetian's character did not please Emperor Taizong.
Emperor Taizong likes women who are well-cultivated, intelligent, introverted, tough and gentle. For example, his wife, the Empress Grandson, always expressed her opinions to Emperor Taizong in a very tactful way. Wu Zetian is smart and beautiful, but sharp-edged and cruel. Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty had a spirited lion, and no one could tame him. Wu Zetian said that as long as I have three things, iron whip, hammer and dagger, I can tame it. If you don't tame, use iron whip; if you don't obey, use iron cymbals; if you don't obey, use daggers to kill. Such a woman is unlikely to be liked by Emperor Taizong.
The third reason is that Wu Zetian was a girl when she first entered the palace. By the time she became a mature woman with a variety of amorous feelings, the physical condition of Emperor Taizong was not as good as before, various schools of thought fought for power and power, and his beloved daughter died young, which made him physically and mentally exhausted and less concerned about women.
If you are any normal man, nine times out of ten you will not love Wu Zetian. Li Shimin is a normal person, so he won't love Wu Zetian. Li Zhi is a "perverted" man, so she will spoil Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian is soft on the outside and hard on the inside. This is not Li Shimin's dish.
Li Shimin likes two kinds of women best in his life. One is the eldest grandson queen, who is mature and dignified and knows the big picture. The other is a natural beauty like Xu Fei and his sister-in-law Yang Fei (the princess of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi), who is gentle and lovely and has lost her innocent heart. Wu Zetian obviously does not meet these two temperament.
Wu Zetian belongs to the type of soft outside and rigid inside. Her personality is flamboyant, sharp-edged and very clever. At that time, the western regions presented a BMW, and her temperament was strong and no one could tame it. Wu Zetian stood up and said, "I only need three things to subdue this horse: a whip, a hammer and a sharp knife." I whip the horse first; If you still don't listen, hit it on the head with a hammer to make it hurt; If you can't subdue it, cut its throat with a knife! "
On the one hand, Wu Zetian's personality is naturally revealed. On the other hand, she also wants to take this opportunity to attract Li Shimin's attention.
But who is Li Shimin? Great talent, how many storms I have experienced in my life, and how many powerful people I have dealt with. A teenage girl stood in front of him, and he knew who she was at a glance. He may be glad for Wu Zetian's whim for a change, but what he doesn't like most is that she is strong-willed and has such a woman who likes to play tricks-in fact, most men don't like it.
According to historical records, Li Shimin worships Wu Zetian very much, but this is only out of praise for her talent, and it is by no means a man's love for women.
Li Zhi's cowardly character is most to Wu Zetian's liking.
Compared with Torre's toughness, Li Zhi is much softer-whenever a strong emperor seems to have a weak son, the more such a man, the more he likes a woman like Wu Zetian-soft outside and just inside, charming and lovely on the surface and strong-willed inside.
When Li Shimin was still ill, Li Zhi, who met Wu Zetian for the first time, was attracted by her. Li Zhi, who has no political experience, is invisible to Wu Zetian (just like she is in front of Li Shimin). Wu Zetian gave full play to her charm and conquered Li Zhi in three or two times. The powerful woman, Yujie, has eaten Li Zhi now, and she is highly dependent on her body and spirit.
Therefore, Emperor Taizong did not love the young Wu Zetian because Wu Zetian was not her type at all. Li Zhi doted on Wu Zetian, who was several years older than himself, because his weakness was completely eaten by Wu Zetian.
First of all, Taizong is a male leader, not a lust maniac obsessed with women. Compared with women, only Jiangshan can make him excited for a long time, and the pleasure is stronger and more lasting. Secondly, Wu Zetian was only fourteen years old when she entered the palace. She was in love, unfamiliar with the bed, and lacked skills and experience. She can't impress Taizong, let alone let Taizong dream about her. Finally, it has something to do with the prediction of the hostess Wu Wang. Taizong is a man who hates Wu from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Guang likes women. As we all know, she is extravagant and dissolute. Li Shimin was restrained in his early years, but he didn't give up much in his later years. Like Yang Di, there were countless women in Emperor Taizong, perhaps because of nomadic descent, who didn't care much about the ethics of the Han people. He accepts all orders, whether it is his sister-in-law (Li Yuanji's wife), his cousin (Xiao, the queen, this "peach blossom" is in doubt) or his cousin (his daughter).
His boldness influenced his descendants invisibly. Neither Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong, nor Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, had much psychological burden on the marriage that violated ethics. It is worth pondering that the courtiers who were deeply influenced by Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty did not have much resistance to this, but turned their heads and praised their emperor's love deeply or shallowly.
Ordinary people have wives and concubines, and emperors have concubines. Women, wealth and power are the rewards of men's success. This is a tacit matter, and there is no need to avoid it. Otherwise, what should we strive for? There are not many saints who only fight for their ideals, but only a handful.
Among the women of Emperor Taizong, one woman won the public's interest and had to mention-Wu Zetian.
In his later years, Emperor Taizong favored the daughter of the Wu family in Shanxi who entered the palace in the draft, and was named as a "gifted scholar" and given the title "Mei Niang". Even so, the later female emperor and the then Mei Niang did not monopolize 3,000 spring scenery. She was insignificant in the harem of Emperor Taizong (different from the popular Mary Su TV series The Legend of Wu Mei Niang). As an old man, all Li Shimin needs is the charm of young girls and the stimulation of youth.
Even later, Emperor Taizong did not really appreciate Wu Meiniang's wisdom and courage in the story of subduing the fierce horse compiled by Wu Zetian himself. Facing this girl's unintentional aggression. He vaguely felt unwell, became wary of this charming girl, and then alienated Wu Meiniang.
If this is not the case, Wu Meiniang may indulge him, have no sense of crisis, and won't divert the target and flirt with Prince Li Zhi.
Li Shimin is the richest country in the world, and I have never seen any beautiful women. Although Wu Zetian is beautiful, Li Shimin is not the kind of person who only looks at appearance!
Mainly is not liked by Li Shimin. Li Shimin likes horses. There is a famous horse named Lion Qi. It has a bad temper and no one can control it. Li Shimin was thrown off his horse several times. Emperor Taizong asked the accompanying princes who could surrender the horse, but no one answered. Wu Zetian replied: I can control it! Li Shimin asked, how did you subdue it? Wu Zetian said: I must have three things, a iron whip, two iron bottles and three daggers. Iron whip refuses to fight, so he slaps his head, and then cuts his throat with a dagger.
They are all in a commotion. Li Shimin, who loves horses, dedicated himself to the six war horses who accompanied him to the north and south. He is called the Six Horses of Zhaoling. Why would he want to kill a horse? So, does Li Can Shimin love her?
Wu Zetian is not Li Shimin's dish. As most men, she certainly won't spoil Wu Zetian.
Let's analyze what kind of girls Tang Taizong and Li Shimin like first.
The first one, of course, likes her eldest grandson. She is gentle, intelligent, talented, knowledgeable and takes care of the overall situation. For Emperor Taizong, she was a perfect wife and a good wife. Because his eldest grandson died young, Emperor Taizong did not set up another queen, which fully explained his feelings for his eldest grandson.
The second possibility is that a woman like Xu Hui is gentle and virtuous. Anyway, in short, Li Shimin is not interested in Wu Zetian who is soft outside and hard inside, and is not interested in girls who compare boys' personalities.
Wu Zetian is the daughter of warrior Zhai and Yang. Isn't samurai Zhai a founding hero? When Emperor Taizong heard that the warrior Zhai had the beauty of a daughter, he became a gifted scholar in the palace. It was relative at first, until the incident of Shigui began. At that time, the Western Regions enshrined a particularly awesome horse, which was not easy to tame. At that time, Li Shimin also showed it to his concubines, and Wu Zetian said he would show it to him.
Since then, Emperor Taizong was not interested in Wu Zetian and knew that Li Shimin was seriously ill and Wu Zetian was serving. At this time, she and Li Zhi began to have feelings. One or two years after Li Shimin's death, she entered the harem, gradually became the second saint, Emperor Gaozong, and finally proclaimed herself emperor.
Why does Li Zhi like her?
Probably because Li Zhi likes her sister-in-law's love. Li Zhi's mother, Grandson Queen, died when he was eight or nine years old. From then on, Li Zhi lacked her mother's care. In addition, Li Zhi's cowardly character from childhood and Wu Zetian's resolute character bring out the best in each other.
Personally, I think young Wu Zetian should worship Emperor Taizong very much, just as today's little girls worship their successful uncles. It is said that Wu Zetian practiced calligraphy hard when she was young, and later made a small achievement and became a calligrapher. This is also the discovery that Emperor Taizong likes Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and wants to take L as an opportunity to become his confidante.
As the ancients said, misfortune is where happiness depends, and happiness is where disaster lies. Wu Zetian's rigidity, boldness and pushiness can not attract Emperor Taizong, but can attract Li Zhi, the son of Emperor Taizong. It was this young prince who dramatically changed her fate. Wu Zetian, with her intelligent, resolute and decisive personality, assisted Emperor Li Zhi in governing the world. After Li Zhi, Wu Zetian began to be unique in politics, and finally reached the peak of power, becoming the only female emperor in the history of China! It adds another gorgeous page of eternal comment.
