When did Wu Zetian start thinking about ascending the throne and becoming king?
Some people say that it was the night when Princess Anding's case was revealed.
So did Qin Luo's twelve strategies for governing the country influence Wu Zetian?
But this is the answer Qin Luo is looking for from history,
seem,
A closure is completed in this space-time.
----------
AD 700.
Wu Zetian is 76 years old.
She has been on the throne for 10 years.
The country's name was changed to Wu Zhou.
At this time, Wu Zetian had already felt her end, and she could only hold on for five years at most.
She remembered the "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country" that suddenly appeared on her pillow 46 years ago.
To this day, she still treasures this advice.
And it has long been implemented in governing the country.
Relying on this "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country", Wu Zhou became more prosperous during Wu Zetian's reign, far exceeding the prosperity of Li Shimin and Li Zhi.
[The person who presented "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country" back then needs your feedback now. What is your return gift? 】
She has been having a dream recently.
There was a voice in the dream that kept asking her to give that person a return gift.
I don’t know if I think too much, so this dream lasted for a long time.
"Give me my jade seal to that person!"
Also in a dream.
She answered the question.
She didn't know anything that could repay the gift of "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country".
If it's a jade seal, she can do it too.
But this was in a dream, how could he really return the jade seal to the other party.
But,
Next.
When she reached her podium, her eyes narrowed.
Imperial jade seal,
Missing?
"Somebody come!"
"Did anyone come to my bedroom during the night?"
"Return to Your Majesty, there is no one!"
That's good.
Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought it was Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, two male favorites, who had come in.
As long as no one came in, she would be at ease.
Wu Zetian was very sure that the jade seal from yesterday was placed on the side of the desk.
Gone.
She thought about the dream.
Maybe that's not a dream?
The appearance of the "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country" back then was like a gift from heaven. Is the same with the disappearance of the jade seal now?
There seems to be a god in the dark, guiding him on the way forward.
"Here, Xuan Di Renjie comes to see you!"
Although Wu Zetian realized that the jade seal matter was related to the "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country".
But it still caused slight fluctuations in her heart.
The "Twelve Strategies for Governing the Country" gave her a starting point for becoming a queen. It seemed that she was already destined to become a queen.
And the disappearance of the jade seal,
Have you witnessed that your life and the dynasty you built are coming to an end?
Wu Zetian didn't care how future generations would evaluate her.
Right or wrong, there are always people who are dissatisfied.
The establishment of a country by a female figure is enough for her to leave a mark in the vast history of China.
And now, she began to think about passing on the throne.
Should he pass the throne to his and Li Zhi's son, or to a member of the Wu family?
She wanted to hear Di Renjie's opinion.
----------
There were many capable ministers in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
In the early days, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, etc. were all exterminated or exiled because they opposed Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne.
In the future, Di Renjie will probably be ranked first among capable ministers who can be trusted by Wu Zetian.
For those familiar with history, the name Di Renjie is undoubtedly familiar.
He was an outstanding politician, wise man, and judge during Wu Zetian's period. He made many suggestions for Wu Zetian and stabilized the political situation many times.
Di Renjie's start was no different from that of other scholars. He began his official career with his excellent performance in the imperial examination.
In the position of Dali Si Cheng, he spent one year trying a large number of backlogged cases, involving as many as 17,000 people, but there was not a single unjust, false or wrong case, which is enough to show his shrewdness and fairness in the judicial field.
All of this brought his reputation among the people to its peak.
In 690, when Wu Zhou was first established, the new regime needed a strong positive image to stabilize the situation. The 60-year-old Di Renjie was promoted to prime minister by Wu Zetian because of his popularity among the people and his political wisdom.
He neither openly opposed nor supported Wu Zetian's rule. This neutral attitude made him more stable and indispensable in the chaotic political situation.
Di Renjie helped Wu Zetian establish prestige in the court to a certain extent.
However, even a wise man like Di Renjie cannot avoid the vicissitudes of politics.
A few months later, he fell into a low ebb when he was framed by Lai Junchen for treason. Under the political situation of that period, especially in order to stabilize the regime, Wu Zetian set up numerous informant agencies and torturers in the court to extract confessions.
Di Renjie, a very smart man, surprisingly quickly confessed after being framed by Lai Junchen, thereby avoiding torture, and at the same time used this opportunity to tell Wu Zetian the truth.
Wu Zetian chose to demote him to a local magistrate after a personal trial. Perhaps in her heart, she still had some trust and expectations for Di Renjie.
After several years of ups and downs, Di Renjie was once again reused by Wu Zetian and served as prime minister again. This is enough to show that in Wu Zetian's heart, Di Renjie has always been that rare wise man and ally.
Later generations had a lot of misinformation about the relationship between Wu Zetian and Di Renjie.
Whether it is a film and television drama about Wu Zetian or a film and television drama about Dee Renjie.
The two are acting together as a team. Sometimes they are close friends who cherish each other, but in some works they fall in love with each other and even have a love story.
This is simply an insult to history itself.
It can be said that in real history, Wu Zetian and Di Renjie have always lived in peace and harmony with each other.
Of course, the main reason for this situation to be formed is Di Renjie's own wisdom.
Once, Wu Zetian said to Di Renjie: "Did you know that the imperial censor's memorial to impeach you was higher than yours, don't you want to see it?".
At this time, Di Renjie said that it was wrong whether he wanted to see it or not.
He said this: "I am doing things for His Majesty. If I do something wrong, His Majesty can just tell me directly. As for others impeaching me and I don't do things for them, I don't care."
This shows Di Renjie's tact.
Di Renjie's direct remonstrance contained a lot of content, but he clearly understood the key points of the matter and never involved the private affairs of Wu Zetian's palace. After all, the personal life of a female emperor had nothing to do with government affairs. No matter who brought up this topic, it would only embarrass Wu Zetian.
Therefore, Di Renjie was Wu Zetian's helper in handling many matters. Even when they disagreed, Di Renjie would tactfully express his dissatisfaction. In the court, he left enough room for Wu Zetian and gave Wu Zetian a lot more. buffer space.
