----------
AD 654.
During the 5th year of Yonghui, Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, came to power.
Inside the Changchun Palace.
The current Wu Zetian is not called Wu Zetian yet, she has no name.
Call his position in the harem.
Wu Zhaoyi.
"Mother, the little princess may not be able to survive!"
The maid came to report. Wu Zhaoyi was sitting on a chair, thinking about something.
Princess Anding.
She was the second child of Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. Of course, Princess An Ding did not have a name at this time.
But as soon as this child was born, he was about to die.
Wu Zetian was heartbroken.
No matter what, these are my own flesh and blood. Although in the palace, giving birth to a boy is more praiseworthy than giving birth to a girl, but if there are more boys, little princesses like girls will also be very favored.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was an extremely open dynasty, and the idea of favoring sons over daughters was not that serious.
"Where are the imperial doctors? If the little princess dies, don't even want their heads!"
Wu Zetian responded to the maid with slightly cold words and asked her to bring a message to the imperial doctors.
But she knew it in her heart.
The little princess will most likely die young.
He was fine at first, but suddenly he got a strange disease, leaving all the doctors at a loss.
She also thought about whether Queen Wang was causing trouble. After all, Li Zhi liked this little princess very much.
But when I think about it, I think it's impossible. If Queen Wang was the one who was obstructing her, why would she come to persecute the little princess instead of persecuting the eldest son Li Hong.
At this point, Wu Zetian's mind was racing rapidly.
She first thought of waking up in the morning and a piece of paper suddenly appearing next to her pillow.
There are "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country" written on it.
Without any warning, this piece of paper seemed to appear out of thin air beside my pillow.
She confirmed for a long time that it was not a prank by the people around her. Fortunately, Li Zhi did not stay here last night.
Wu Zetian thought of a story her mother once told her.
He said that when he was a child, a Taoist priest passed by his door.
Later I found out that this person was Yuan Tiangang.
When Yuan Tiangang was a child, he watched the purple stars falling from the sky of the Wu family, and he would surely be rich and powerful in the future.
First I looked at a few children, and they all shook their heads and said that they would be in the second rank in the future, but it would be difficult for them to get high positions again.
It wasn't until Wu Zetian's parents pulled Wu Zetian over that Yuan Tiangang's expression changed.
But seeing Wu Zetian, Yuan Tiangang also shook his head and said that this son's future achievements will be higher than those of his brothers, but it is a pity that he is a boy. If he is a girl, he will definitely dominate the world in the future.
At that time, Wu Zetian was disguised as a man.
However, after experiencing this incident, the warrior Xun asked everyone to keep this matter as a secret, otherwise if the news reaches the ears of the emperor, their Wu family may face catastrophe.
This incident was also told to Wu Zetian’s mother a long time later.
Under such coincidences, a seed flashed quickly in Wu Zetian's mind.
"Can I really rule the world?"
There has never been a precedent for a woman to rule the world before, but that doesn't mean she can't do it.
Yuan Tiangang calculated that he wanted to rule the world, and the "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country" that appeared out of thin air seemed to be telling him.
A generation of queen is not impossible.
Of course, the road is far away now, and she still has a long way to go.
Wu Zetian read the "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country" carefully several times, and finally locked it in a cabinet that was rarely opened.
"I want to take the first position now!"
She is still Zhaoyi, and the Queen is still Queen Wang.
Initially, in the nunnery, in order to bring down Concubine Xiao Shu, Queen Wang specially suggested to Gaozong that she should be included in the harem. Logically speaking, she should be grateful to her.
Otherwise, because I am the concubine of the late emperor Li Shimin, how can I continue to have a relationship with Li Zhi?
But palace fighting is like this. If you don't move forward, sooner or later you will be killed by the queen.
It's hard, though.
Although Empress Wang had no heirs, she had the support of the Long aristocratic group behind her. As long as she did not make any big mistakes, it would be very difficult for the emperor to depose her.
After all, the emperor's marriage during this period was basically a political marriage.
Whoever you marry as queen will represent the alliance between the royal family and which noble and aristocratic group.
Queen Wang is backed by the Guanlong Group. If she doesn't make any mistakes, Li Zhi won't dare to do anything to her?
"Made a mistake?"
"Make her make mistakes!"
The brain is working rapidly.
She thought of her eldest daughter.
Although I was heartbroken, the pain of losing my daughter was suffocating.
but,
When everything is irreversible, you must maximize your interests.
This is the way to survive in the palace.
"Go tell those imperial doctors. If the little princess is really helpless, then just give up. I don't blame them!"
Explain to the maid and ask her to stabilize the hearts of the imperial doctors.
Then he called his confidant maid:
"Go and spread the rumors. Just say that the queen was behind the little princess's death. Remember, quietly, don't let anyone catch you!"
"yes!"
The confidant maid did not have any doubts, so she accepted the order and left.
Wu Zetian stood up from the chair.
Her slightly tired spirit was completely hidden by her.
In the deep palace, if you take one wrong step, you will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.
From now on, she can't make any mistakes.
Moreover, it is indeed difficult for him to develop his political talents in this deep palace.
She wanted a regency.
Wu Zetian has never been a careerist, she is a true politician.
soon.
The news of the little princess's death reached Wu Zetian's ears.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. Our daughter, she was so good, why did she die suddenly?"
"Someone must be persecuting me. My child, Your Majesty, this is also your favorite little princess. You must make the decision for me!"
There is an imperial physician saying,
The little princess must have been poisoned, but the poison was difficult to detect and extremely rare. It might have come from the Guanzhong area. The doctors at their imperial hospital were also at a loss to find the source of the poison.
Thus, the struggle between Wu Zhaoyi and Queen Wang in the harem began.
Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, was furious when he heard that his beloved little princess had died.
