When we watch palace intrigue dramas now, we can see that those who laugh until the end are usually cunning, intelligent, and have ideas. They can go to the end and become the highest ranking one. We all know that there was once an empress in our country, and that was Empress Wu Zetian. At that time, Empress Wu Zetian had great ambitions, which was inseparable from her abilities. Also, there was the social background at that time. When Empress Wu Zetian first entered the palace, she was introduced by Empress Wang to help her regain favor. In fact, later on, we all know that Empress Wu Zetian sent Empress Wang to prison. Queen Wang was Li Zhi’s tied hair wife. She was very beautiful, but due to her own foolishness, her outcome was very tragic.
Queen Wang was born into a wealthy family. Her grandfather was a high-ranking official, but her father was relatively mediocre, just a county magistrate. When Li Zhi was about to reach the age of marriage, Princess Tong’an proposed Wang Shi. The reason why she recommended Wang Shi was because her husband was Wang Yu, from the Wang family in Taiyuan. At that time, Princess Tong’an heard that Wang Shi was a beautiful and virtuous woman, so she recommended Wang Shi to Emperor Taizong of Tang. Because she was a princess, her words were still very influential, and Wang Shi became Li Zhi’s queen.
Wang was originally just the daughter of a county magistrate, but she became a queen, so her luck was very good. Later, Li Zhicheng became the crown prince, and Wang became the crown princess. After Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, Wang should have become the empress. Although she was the empress, she had no son and could not compete for favor with Xiao Shufei in the palace. Therefore, she thought of bringing Wu Zetian into the palace and winning Xiao Shufei’s favor. At that time, due to the uproar caused by the relationship between Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Empress Wu Zetian in the imperial harem, she thought of recalling Wu Zetian back to the palace from the Gan Ye Temple. However, she did not consider that Xiao Shufei only wanted love, while Empress Wu Zetian wanted the position of empress, the ruling power of the imperial harem, and the Li family’s territory. After returning to the palace, Li Zhi’s relationship with Wu Zetian grew stronger and stronger. Therefore, Xiao Shufei, Empress Wang, and Wu Zetian were the three largest in the harem. Xiao Shufei could be said to be relatively easy to defeat, but after all, Empress Wang had a certain degree of power in both the court and the public. Therefore, the struggle between Empress Wang and Wu Zetian remained. Later, Empress Wang was deposed and Wu Zetian became empress. Gradually, Wu Zetian’s power in the court grew stronger, and more power gathered towards Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian cleared all obstacles, and the last stumbling block for Empress Wang was removed.
After Queen Wang was deposed, she was imprisoned in a cold palace like Empress Xiao Shufei. At that time, Li Zhi went to see them, but Wu Zetian found out and took measures. Wu Zetian tortured them in various ways, beat them severely, broke their hands and feet, and then threw them into a wine vat. This is quite cruel. She also killed and exiled members of their family using such cruel means.
