Wu Zetian abdicated and wept bitterly. Who was this person? Below, the History Encyclopedia editor will bring you a detailed article introduction.
It is said that when Wu Zetian was still in her infancy, she met
title conferred on a master teacher or advisor by an emperor
Yuan Tiangang. When Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian, his heart was filled with emotions
I am very shocked to say that this woman’s future is limitless and she will definitely become one of them in the future
The master of the world.
At that time, Li Chunfeng also discovered anomalies while observing celestial phenomena at night, of course, these were all folk legends. In fact, Empress Wu Zetian also became a figure in the history of our country
The only female emperor
.
Wu Zetian, as a historical figure in China
The only female emperor
He ascended to the throne as emperor in 690 AD. It can be said that many people did not approve at that time
Empress Wu Zetian ruled over the world,
They, however, were afraid to speak out due to their own lives and dared not speak out directly about this matter.
Later in Wu Zetian’s later years, this once very shrewd empress dowager
Gradually becoming a foolish ruler.
She began to favor those male pets, and for the sake of imperial power
Without such severe control, the thoughts of rebellion among the ministers of the Li Tang Dynasty slowly surfaced.
They began to resist the rule of Wu Zetian, and in 705 AD, the ministers of the Li Tang Dynasty launched a coup, forcing Wu Zetian to abdicate. This coup is known in Chinese history as
“
Shenlong Coup
”.
And this coup is based on
Zhang Jianzhi, Heng Yanfan, Yao Chong
After the successful coup led by others, the ministers went to pay tribute to the welcoming emperor
Li Xian conducted
ascend the throne
.
And the minister who stood on Wu Zetian’s side at that time
Very angry, but Wu Zetian’s regime has been overthrown, leaving these ministers powerless.
Thus, Li Xian’s succession officially declared the era of Wu Zetian’s rule
Completely ended, and the world returned to the hands of the Li family.
In the hearts of many ministers
I am also deeply moved, only
Yao Chong
I cried with my sleeves covering my face
However, those around Yao Chong did not understand his actions and asked him, “Now that the world has returned to the hands of the Li family, why are you still crying?
But Yao Chong said, ‘Wu Zetian and I once…’
A battle between ruler and minister
Although she is a woman, during her time in power, every decision she made was
For the people of the world
.
Moreover, she has done many good deeds for the people of the world, and now that she has abdicated, I cannot help but feel that
Very sad, that’s why I shed tears because of it.
But
Zhang Jianzhi
hear
Yao Chong
After this statement, he immediately admonished him, saying: Today is a big day for the world to return to the hands of the Li family, and theoretically, it should be a
A day of universal celebration.
What thoughts will New Jun have if you cry like this today? Your action will definitely bring you other impacts in the end. But Yao Chong did not
Not listening
Zhang Jianzhi
Advice, continue standing there crying.
So this one cried when the new ruler ascended the throne
Yao Chong
Who exactly is it?
Why does he miss Wu Zetian so much? We should talk about Yao Chong.
During the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, there were many ministers in the court
Opposing her rule behind the scenes, Wu Zetian sent two ministers to investigate this rebellion case. These two ministers fabricated charges in pursuit of credit, which led to Wu Zetian
Mistakenly killing many
Zhongliang.
After Yao Chong learned that Wu Zetian had wrongly killed these good people, he stood up for these officials in the court
Provide a guarantee that after this, no one will engage in rebellion.
But we must execute these two ministers who pursue credit. If anyone is plotting rebellion, he is willing to
Take responsibility for these crimes on your own
Upon hearing Yao Chong’s words, Wu Zetian found them very reasonable, so she let go of these ministers and stopped investigating the rebellion case,
And awarded Yao Chong
.
And Wu Zetian was dismissed by the ministers
After being forced to abdicate,
The throne has returned to Li Xian’s hands.
However, during Li Xian’s reign, these ministers were not highly valued,
Zhang Jianzhi
These people did not end up well
.
They were first deprived of their rights, and then sent to very remote places. For Li Xian, although these people helped him regain control of the world, in turn, they also
possibly
Help others
Seize Li Xian’s world
.
But who can guarantee that they didn’t go
What about the psychology of rebellion? So it’s better to kill them all, in order to
Consolidate one’s dominant position.
Leaving them all behind would actually create a threat. These ministers who once helped themselves to suppress the palace may help others rebel in the future,
Force oneself to abdicate
.
So whether it’s in terms of being a good person or becoming a manager, you must do it
Emphasize emotions and righteousness
.
Perhaps it was because at that time, Yao Chong cried in front of Wu Zetian when she abdicated. After Wu Zetian abdicated, the Wu family
No action was taken against Yao Chong. He not only did not encounter any major disasters, but also lived to the generation of Li Longji and began to enjoy his later years.
But one year after Wu Zetian abdicated, the five people led by Zhang Jianzhi were all exiled by Li Xian
Remote places.
There are five of them
Dead, dead
、
Some guarantees
They sacrificed their lives, but they were brutally killed by the cruel officials left over from the Wu Zetian era.
And those old ministers during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian,
Except for Yao Chong, few people have had a very good ending.
