Everyone knows that Empress Wu Zetian was a famous female emperor of the Tang Dynasty. She entered the palace at a very young age. And because she was very charming and charming, Emperor Taizong of Tang initially doted on her, calling her a talented person and giving her the name Wu Mei. Therefore, later people also called her Wu Meiniang, which is how she came to be.
I heard that once, Emperor Taizong of Tang was in a great mood and took a large group of concubines to see his famous horses. Each horse was majestic and full of momentum. The concubines had never seen this scene before and were so scared that they only dared to observe from afar, not up close. Emperor Taizong of Tang had a horse with a very irritable personality that was difficult to tame. He joked with everyone, ‘Who dares to tame it?’. The attendants remained silent, the horse looked too fierce. Just when Emperor Taizong of Tang found it somewhat boring, Wu Zetian walked out and said, ‘Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try.’.
Tang Taizong listened to the voice and thought he was a general, but he was surprised to find out that she was a weak woman and also Wu Zetian. He said, ‘Do you have any good ideas?’.
Wu Zetian said, give me three things: an iron whip, an iron hammer, and a dagger. If it is any more mischievous, I will whip it and teach it a lesson. If it still refuses, use a hammer to strike it. Neither of these works. If it still refuses to obey, kill it directly.
Tang Taizong looked at this weak woman and was secretly surprised. This woman is not simple, her thoughts are meticulous, and she needs to stay away from her. So later on, she gradually became less pampered than before. Don’t be fooled by Wu Zetian’s delicate appearance, she is also as strong willed as a boy in her heart. When she entered the palace, her mother was very sad. She comforted her mother and said, ‘Being able to serve the current emperor may be my fortune. Why cry? I should be happy.’.
How could Wu Zetian, who was so strong, be willing to be ignored like this? So she secretly reconciled with Crown Prince Li Zhi, without being discovered by Emperor Taizong of Tang. Later, after Emperor Taizong’s death, she was sent to the Gan Ye Temple, hoping to keep her away from the court officialdom.
Unexpectedly, Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi still couldn’t forget her. Later, he brought Wu Zetian back from the temple and doted on her in every way possible. He even made Wu Zetian the empress, and Wu Zetian’s ambition gradually manifested. She used her talents to gradually realize her ideals and aspirations, and eventually succeeded in becoming a famous female emperor in history. Does this story seem very inspiring, so if you want to achieve your goals, you still need to find the right talent.
