The warrior Xun passed away a few days after he left Hongrumen that day.
Wu Zetian's entry into the palace has no further details.
Because of the division of family property, Wu Zetian was persecuted by her cousins and was forced to move from Jingzhou to Chang'an.
Fortunately, Li Tianwei has already been ordered!
In order to secretly allow Wu Zetian to enter the palace smoothly, Wu Zetian's beauty was widely publicized in the capital.
In this way, the news of Wu Zetian's "beautiful appearance" reached the ears of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
Then he summoned her to the palace, named her a fifth-grade talented person, and gave her the title "Wu Mei".
But Wu Zetian was not favored by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. She worked as a talented person for twelve consecutive years, and her status was never improved.
Li Tianwei was only ordered to protect Wu Zetian, so as long as Wu Zetian's life was not in danger, he did not interfere much!
It was also during this period that Leng Wuyan, who had been facing each other day and night, developed a deep relationship!
Time flies!
Until AD 649, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty became seriously ill!
Everyone in the palace is in fear all day long!
Especially Wu Zetian, who had trouble sleeping and eating all day long!
If Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty dies, as long as he is the emperor's concubine and has no children, he will definitely be sent to Ganye Temple to become a nun.
Therefore, she thought hard for a long time and finally found a way out!
It was to strike up a conversation with Empress Wende's son, the current crown prince Li Zhi.
Everything went according to Wu Zetian's wish, and Prince Li Zhi also had a long-standing love for Wu Zetian, a beautiful girl.
The two of them quickly began to develop a relationship.
Not long after, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty passed away. As usual, Wu Zetian entered Ganye Temple in Chang'an as a nun along with some of her childless concubines, waiting for Li Zhi, the newly enthroned Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, to take her back to the palace.
After Li Tianwei learned about this, he disguised himself and entered the palace to meet Empress Wang, the first wife of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
Queen Wang was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, a famous family in the Northern Dynasties. Her grandfather Wang Sizheng was the minister of the Western Wei Dynasty Zuopushe; her father Wang Renyou served as the magistrate of Luoshan County during the Zhenguan period; her great-uncle was Tong'an, the sister of Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Princess.
Therefore, Queen Wang was not only a descendant of an important minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, but also an in-law of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.
But the problem is that Queen Wang has an upright temperament and cannot bend her own will to flatter Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and she does not treat her servants well. Her mother and uncle also rely on others' power, ignore the etiquette in the palace, and never show courtesy when entering the palace. The family is also quite powerful.
huge!
Gradually, Tang Gaozong no longer wanted to see Queen Wang!
Li Tianwei entered the palace, saw Empress Wang, and said to her:
"Empress Wang, you now have no children, and the Emperor's feelings for Concubine Xiao Shu are increasing day by day. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid your position as Queen will not be guaranteed!"
"Then what do you think?"
"We might as well add a new concubine to the emperor in your name. In this way, the concubine can still be at your disposal! We can also suppress Concubine Xiao Shu together!"
"Experts are indeed wise! I just don't know who is suitable!"
"Actually, this person is far away and right in front of you!"
…
After hearing what Li Tianwei said, Queen Wang naturally thought of Wu Zetian of Ganye Temple.
After Wu Zetian entered Ganye Temple, the emperor missed her very much. However, due to the fact that he was still in mourning, it was not convenient for him to go to Ganye Temple in public. However, the emperor and the empress knew all the times he went secretly.
Queen Wang thought for a few days and listened to Li Tianwei's opinion happily. She made a favor and asked Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty to take Wu Zetian back to the palace and join forces to attack Concubine Xiao Shu.
In fact, Queen Wang's mind was still very simple. She didn't know that Li Tianwei was secretly helping Wu Zetian, and thought she had received help from a god.
From then on, Tang Gaozong's love for Wu Zetian was supported by the queen, and he became even more unscrupulous in enjoying flowers and drinking with Wu Zetian.
It was not until AD 651 that Tang Gaozong's period of filial piety had expired, and he could not wait to take Wu Zetian into the palace again.
Before entering the palace, Wu Zetian was also pregnant. Shortly after entering the palace, she gave birth to her son Li Hong.
After Wu Zetian returned to the palace, she gained the special favor of Li Zhi and was worshiped as the second-grade Zhaoyi. Concubine Xiao Shu also gradually lost her favor.
After Empress Wang saw Concubine Xiao Shu falling out of favor, she was naturally extremely happy.
But soon, I couldn’t laugh anymore.
Although Empress Wang knew that she would get no love at all, she couldn't help but be a little scared that Wu Zetian, a powerless woman, could defeat Concubine Xiao Shu so quickly, and she was even more afraid that her position as queen would not be guaranteed!
You must know that Concubine Xiao Shu is not only beautiful and charming, but also from a noble family. Her Xiao family belongs to the Lanling Xiao family, and her ancestor is Xiao He, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. For several generations, she has been the first and second leader of the imperial court.
, to this day, but the power of this family is still extremely terrifying, and it is definitely one of the top wealthy families at that time.
Wu Zetian actually made Tang Gaozong ignore the power of the Xiao family and favor one person, which forced Queen Wang to start paying more attention.
Since then, the harem dispute has also become a three-legged situation.
In AD 653, Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu began to join forces and used witchcraft to frame Wu Zetian. Fortunately, Li Tianwei secretly resolved the case. Tang Gaozong saw that Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu had made things out of thin air, so he became even more reluctant to pay attention to them.
But this incident made Wu Zetian always hold a grudge in her heart.
She knows very well that in a harem battle, you will die or I will die. In this dire harem, she can only be more cruel to herself!
Therefore, in AD 654, Wu Zetian's moment of glory came.
This day was the full moon day when Wu Zetian gave birth to her eldest daughter, Princess Andingsi.
The queen came to visit and teased the princess fondly.
But when Queen Wang left, Wu Zetian heard that Tang Gaozong also came to visit.
Simply, Wu Zetian would suffocate her daughter to death if she didn't do anything else!
When Tang Gaozong entered the house, Wu Zetian pretended to laugh and opened the quilt to look at the child together.
The moment the quilt was lifted, Wu Zetian's acting skills were very rich.
Seeing his daughter dead, he cried endlessly and asked his attendants in shock: "What crime do you deserve?"
The attendant knelt down nervously and begged for mercy:
"I don't know, I hope the emperor and the imperial concubine will forgive me! The queen came just now, it must be..."
Although the attendant never mentioned her by name, Tang Gaozong became furious after hearing this and said, "Did the queen kill my daughter?"
From then on, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty had the plan to "abolish Wang Liwu".
Queen Wang was really wronged in this matter, but she could not explain it clearly.
But Queen Wang knew that Wu Zetian was definitely a ruthless person in order to bring her down!
