(Dream-seeking) 8-1 The dream disappears and I walk away to find it
Since Shangguan Yi and others died against the opposition forces!
The officials no longer had any words to say, and began to choose to cling to Wu Zetian wholeheartedly!
From then on, whenever Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty came to court, Wu Zetian would hang the curtain behind her, and everyone in the government, big or small, would hear about it. All the power in the world would be returned to the central palace, and she would be deposed, and life and death would be decided by her mouth!
This is also the turning point for Wu Zetian to become the emperor in the future!
But at this time, she probably didn't even think that she would become the emperor! Instead, she was just greedy for power. Even without Li Tianwei's help, the journey was smooth sailing.
In terms of improving her influence, Wu Zetian did a lot of things. She demonstrated her virtues by conferring Zen on Mount Tai. She donated 20,000 yuan of powder money to help monks carve the Lucena Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang.
The book "The True Industry of a Thousand People" rewards farming, severely punishes harsh government, etc.!
At the same time, in AD 677, Shangguan Wan'er, a child born to Zheng Qingya who was demoted to Yeting, was fourteen years old and was summoned by Wu Zetian. Due to Shangguan Wan'er's outstanding literary talent, Wu Zetian was very happy.
He immediately issued an order to remove him from his status as a slave and let him take charge of the imperial edicts in the palace.
AD 675, this year was the trigger for Wu Zetian to begin to monopolize power.
As the rheumatoid arthritis suffered by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty became more and more serious, he wanted to give the Zen throne to Wu Zetian and prepared to let Wu Zetian be the regent, but the etiquette system refused to allow it, so he was opposed by the ministers.
After Wu Zetian learned about it, he convened a large number of literati and bachelors and established the "North Gate Scholars", and asked them to participate in the court's resolutions, in the name of revising books, and in reality dividing the power of the prime minister.
One after another, as time went by, another wave of ministers with male rights ideas were divided, and they improved everyone's thoughts on women's rights by revising books.
Until AD 683, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was bedridden and died in December. Prince Li Xian ascended the throne in front of the coffin. However, military and state affairs were still decided by Wu Zetian!
However, this Li Xian was still too young. He stepped down after fifty-five days in power.
As soon as Li Xian came to power, he promoted his wife, Empress Wei's father, Wei Xuanzhen. Wei Xuanzhen went from joining the army in a small Puzhou to serving as the governor of Yuzhou, then to the minister, and then to the prime minister!
This speed is not only amazing! It also makes the world think that Li Xian is nepotistic.
At this time, Prime Minister Pei Yan was also unwilling. If the promotion was successful, wouldn't it be obvious that he was trying to divide his own rights, so he discussed the matter with Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was very angry after hearing this, so she deposed Li Xian as King of Luling and promoted Li Xian's younger brother Li Dan to be the puppet emperor.
In fact, this incident not only shows that Li Xian is too young, but also shows that Li Xian has no political acumen!
Promoting his own royal relative, such an obvious move, everyone knew that he was forming his own team to bring down Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian knew it, and so did Pei Yan, who was threatened!
Also, Pei Yan actually did not support Wu Zetian in power. He supported Li Tang, which was even more insurmountable to the veterans.
This is good. After Li Xian's operation, not only did the two opposing people get tied together, but he also lost his throne!
Li Xian was deposed as King of Luling, moved to Fangzhou, and instead established his fourth son, King of Yu Li Dan, as Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty, but he was just a puppet emperor.
Since then, Wu Zetian's power has been licked by officials to the fullest.
Even though the opposition Xu Jingye and others wanted to make Li Xian emperor again and raised troops to rebel in Yangzhou, they were quickly defeated.
However, through this incident, Wu Zetian began to have the idea of becoming emperor!
In AD 686, she expressed her intention to return power to Tang Ruizong by retreating into advancement!
But Li Dan knew that he was not sincere, so he insisted on giving in.
So Wu Zetian continued to rule the dynasty.
Immediately afterwards, he began to order the production of whistle-blowers and placed them in front of the Luoyang Palace to accept complaints from all over the world at any time. This move opened up the world's public opinion and played a major role in stabilizing his power.
Later, Wu Zetian advocated that anyone can whistle-blow, and provided strong protection and rewards to those who did not whistle-blow, and also used extremely cruel torture on the defendants. If the things reported are in line with the will, they can be promoted. If
It was not true, and there was no question of guilt, so whistleblowers from all over the world sprang up.
Therefore, this "cruel politics" not only put everyone in the court in danger, but also allowed Wu Zetian to further control the power of public opinion.
In 688 AD, Wu Zetian planned to seize the Li Tang State and exterminated the Tang Dynasty clan, which caused uneasiness among the kings and wanted to raise troops to resist.
This raising of troops was also Li's last struggle! It was a thorough understanding for Li and the ministers who still had some objections in their hearts.
The governor of Bozhou, Li Chong, king of Langxie, raised troops in Bozhou in August; the governor of Yuzhou, Li Zhen, king of Yue, raised troops in Yuzhou to echo Li Chong.
Wu Zetian sent Qiu Shenji and Wei Chongyu to attack.
Li Chong was defeated and died within seven days of raising his troops.
In September, Li Zhen was defeated and committed suicide.
Taking this opportunity, Wu Zetian wanted to eliminate all the kings of the Li family and forced Han Wang Li Yuanjia, Lu Wang Li Lingkui, Huang Guogong Li Zhuan, Dongguan County Duke Li Rong, Princess Chang Le, etc. to commit suicide. Immediately, their cronies were also killed.
From then on, there were no obstacles on the road to becoming emperor!
But to be emperor requires the blessing of destiny in order to convince the world!
Therefore, Wu Zetian ordered his nephew Wu Chengsi to chisel white stone in Luoyang and inscribe on the stone "The Holy Mother's visit to people, the emperor's career will always be prosperous".
This stone is regarded as the "treasure map" and is also the stone to which destiny belongs.
Wu Zetian personally paid homage to Luo Shoutu and named herself the "Holy Mother God Emperor". She also built the "Wanxiang Shrine" in Luoyang and allowed people to visit it.
In AD 690, the time was ripe, and he secretly communicated with the monks of the Eastern Wei Dynasty Temple to write the four volumes of the "Dayun Sutra", saying that Wu Zetian was the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha who descended to earth, and should be the master of the world, and promulgated this book to the world.
.
Soon after, a series of officials and citizens, clan relatives, leaders of various barbarians, monks, and Taoist priests requested Wu Zetian to change the name of the country to Zhou and give the emperor a surname of Wu. The officials reported that "the phoenix gathers in Shangyang Palace, and the red bird sees the court."
, Li Dan also asked to be given the surname Wu.
Wu Zetian obeyed the request and climbed up to the Zetian Gate Tower on September 9th to grant amnesty to the world, changed the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Tianshou, made Luoyang the capital of the gods, and made Chang'an the companion capital.
This is also the year!
Three thousand years ago, Fuxi, Su Mengjing and Zizhu came to the capital through the Book of Heaven!
Fuxi and Zizhu were knocked unconscious before they could even settle down!
At this time, Su Mengjing still saw Yong Buli in a state of desolation!
Why do you say that?
It's because after Yong Buli and Su Mengjing let go of Li Zhong and Yang Xiu, history has returned to the right track!
The most important reason why history can get back on track is that Su Mengjing took the note and went back to the past to find Yong Buli.
Now that history is back on track, Su Mengjing from three thousand years ago will no longer be able to see the downtrodden Yong Buli!
