Chapter 119: Strangling His Daughter
Although Emperor Taizong of Tang was naturally angry and furious when he heard that he would be cheated on by his own son in the future.
But now this kind of thing can no longer happen.
Guanyinbi will definitely live longer, and those ridiculous things will never happen again!
The emperor and the empress held hands, and the ministers looked at the sky. They had long been accustomed to their relationship.
There were also many people in the barrage who supported the idea and were deeply moved by the relationship between Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Empress Wu Zetian.
At this moment, everyone forgot that their identities did not allow them to be together, and they only felt sad that they loved each other but could not be together.
After Wu Zetian heard the poem "Ruyi Niang" again, she stiffened for a moment and smiled. "I wrote this poem sincerely. The days in Ganye Temple were too difficult. I was able to get through those years in Ganye Temple by relying on the memories with Zhinu!"
Speaking of this, she was actually a little resentful at the time. She resented Li Zhi for not bringing her back to the palace. It was obvious that they loved each other so much, but he had other favorite concubines and had long forgotten about her.
But she was even more afraid. She was afraid that he would really forget about her. Then she would have to spend her whole life like the previous emperor's concubines, staying in this nunnery which was even more miserable than the harem!
"After your love letter, Your Majesty, Emperor Gaozong of Tang tried every possible means to bring you back to the palace.
The one who took the initiative to ask Your Majesty to return to the palace was the Empress Wang of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
After Wang became the queen, she was never favored by Emperor Gaozong of Tang and had no children. At that time, Concubine Xiao Shufei was in great favor and had several children, which made Queen Wang very jealous.
So she took the initiative to ask Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi to bring you into the palace, hoping to join forces with you to defeat Concubine Xiao Shufei. However, the result was something she never expected. Not only did she defeat Concubine Xiao Shufei, but she also defeated herself! "
Li Wu shrugged. Emperor Gaozong of Tang finally had a reason to bring Wu Zetian into the palace. As his white moonlight, she was naturally doted on.
No one else can surpass her.
Wu Zetian smiled and said nothing.
The comments were all saying that those Queen Wangs were too narrow-minded and jealous as the queens of a country, and they simply did not have the bearing of a queen.
However, there were also people who understood Queen Wang. After all, as the queen of a country, she would be anxious if she didn't even have a child.
It is normal to take an unconventional approach. Women and men think differently. A man can have many women, and as a legal wife, he must be generous and not jealous. If he is jealous, he will not be a qualified legal wife and will be accused of being jealous and scolded.
Anyway, whatever you do is wrong.
"Indeed, she is a little stupid," Wu Zetian smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. It was precisely because of her stupidity and strong jealousy that she was able to return to the palace so quickly. Otherwise, she didn't know when she would be able to return to the palace.
"After Emperor Taizong of Tang finished his mourning, Emperor Gaozong of Tang could not wait to welcome Your Majesty Zetian into the palace. At that time, all the ministers in the court were against it. After all, Your Majesty Zetian was Emperor Taizong of Tang's concubine, and it was against human ethics to do so. However, no matter how much the ministers objected, it was useless as Emperor Gaozong of Tang insisted on doing so.
Before you entered the palace, you were already pregnant, and after entering the palace you gave birth to your eldest son, Li Hong.
Since Empress Wu Zetian entered the palace, she was favored. Queen Wang did defeat Concubine Xiao Shufei, and Concubine Xiao Shufei never received the favor of Emperor Gaozong of Tang again.
Because Emperor Gaozong of Tang has always favored Your Majesty Wu Zetian, and he wishes he could stick with you all the time.
And not long after, Your Majesty Zetian was conferred the title of Second Rank Zhaoyi Empress, competing for favor with Queen Wang and Consort Xiao Shufei. "
When Li Wu said this, he glanced at Wu Zetian furtively. It was not difficult to see that she must have been a rare beauty when she was young.
The means are also very powerful.
"Oh," Li Wu sighed.
"What's wrong with the little immortal? Why are you sighing?" Wu Zetian looked at Li Wu with some confusion.
Li Wu shook her head. "I feel like life was so hard for women in ancient times. Fortunately, I wasn't born in ancient times, or I would have gone crazy sooner or later!"
"It's indeed difficult," Wu Zetian smiled like a kind old lady.
So when she was looking at the sky, she envied the world of the fairies. It was completely different from the world she lived in. The women here were free and could do whatever they wanted.
Many women also popped up in the barrage, telling about their grievances and expressing their envy of the life of the little fairy.
"Let me continue talking about Her Majesty Zetian," Li Wu shook her head and threw away all the comments she had just seen. To be honest, she felt uncomfortable seeing the words of the women in the comments.
For thousands of years, the status of women has always been very low. Even though women had a better life in some dynasties, they were still far inferior to men.
There is a saying that goes, there are no baby boys in the abandoned baby tower and no silk skirts in the school. From this saying, we can see the status of women at that time.
Even now, in this era, there are still many places that are ignorant and favor boys over girls.
Li Wu didn't want to change anything. She knew she couldn't change anything. If possible, she wanted to make women's lives better, at least not be so constrained.
Wu Zetian nodded, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"There are many stories about your Majesty, including one that said you strangled your own daughter to death. This rumor has always been around."
Wu Zetian frowned and looked at Li Wu in confusion, even looking at Li Wu in disbelief. "I strangled my own daughter to death? I?"
Wu Zetian was confused. Why did she strangle her own daughter to death?
Li Wu nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is said that Your Majesty wanted to give birth to her eldest daughter, Princess Andingsi.
When the little princess was just one month old, Queen Wang came to visit her and teased her lovingly.
However, after she left, Your Majesty Zetian took advantage of the fact that no one was around and strangled the little princess to death, trying to put the blame on Queen Wang.
After Emperor Gaozong of Tang arrived, they went to visit the little princess, but found that she was dead.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang was furious and asked who had visited the little princess. He found out it was Queen Wang, but Queen Wang could not explain clearly. Emperor Gaozong then began to think of deposing Wang Liwu.
Of course, Your Majesty, I don’t believe this. I have been misled before, but when I think about it, I think it is unlikely,” Li Wu explained with a grin. When he watched TV dramas before, he was still young and was indeed misled. Many people even believed that Wu Zetian strangled her own daughter.
In fact, it is really unlikely. It is not so easy to kill people in the palace, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang is not a real fool. He is very smart.
Besides, Wu Zetian was so favored at the time that there was no need for her to frame Queen Wang, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang originally wanted to depose Queen Wang.
It was just smeared in history books later.
For example, the Old Book of Tang did not say that Wu Zetian strangled her own daughter to death, but only recorded that the little princess died suddenly.
After hearing this, Wu Zetian found it a little funny and couldn't help laughing, "You descendants are really funny. You are always making associations."
