The Tang Dynasty is the most open dynasty in China's history, and it is also the most prosperous dynasty, so it has the title of "Dirty Tang" of the Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of the Tang Dynasty, where is the "dirty" in the end? Let's explore it together.
In the second year of Yonghui (651), when Emperor Gaozong of Tang included Wu Zetian in the harem, Wu Enze was only a talented person, and later in the twenty-fourth year of kaiyuan (736), Tang Xuanzong included his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan in the harem and made him a noble concubine.
Ancient northern nomadic tribes have always had the custom of "father and wife succession", this custom has not been accepted by the Central Plains Dynasty, and Wang Zhaojun, who was with his relatives, could not stand such customs, and repeatedly requested to return to the Han Dynasty, but they were rejected, and finally depressed.
If this was the case, why did Emperor Gaozong of Tang risk controversy and include Wu Zetian in the harem? Finally, she was crowned empress.
It can be seen from this that no matter where the records are, it shows that Wu Zetian is a top beauty, who sees who is moved, even Li Shimin, who has read countless women, is also fascinated by him at first sight.
What is puzzling is that Wu Zetian became a talented person from the eleventh year of Zhenguan until the death of Li Shimin in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, and in the past twelve years, Wu Zetian has always been a talented person, and has not been promoted or favored at all, and thus has not been able to leave a royal heir.
Another woman with a similar experience to Wu Zetian was also in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, and this person was Shangguan Wan'er.
According to historical records, when Shangguan Wan'er was a baby, she was punished for her grandfather's mistakes, and finally became a slave, and after Emperor Zhongzong of Tang succeeded to the throne, she became a concubine and finally died in the Tang Long coup.
During the construction of the Airport New City in Xixian New District, Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty was accidentally discovered, which was destroyed on a large scale, but the epitaph was well preserved.
Among them, the "Tombstone of the Shangguan Clan of the Tang Dynasty" unlocks the identity of the tomb owner, that is, Shangguan Wan'er, which is full of the life of Shangguan Wan'er, and accidentally reveals a history that we have not learned.
Shangguan Wan'er became a talented person of Emperor Gaozong of Tang at the age of 13, what does this mean? It means that in the Tang Dynasty, there was once again a matter of "sons and fathers and concubines".
When Shangguan Wan'er was made a talented person, Tang Gaozong was already more than half a hundred years old, and he suffered from severe dizziness, and he was not in the mood to deal with the affairs of the government at all, and the person who covered the sky with one hand had already become Wu Zetian, and it was not difficult to see that Shangguan Wan'er could change from a slave to a concubine, which must be the meaning of Wu Zetian.
In this case, Shangguan Wan'er's title revealed the misunderstanding of Wu Zetian in later generations, Wu Zetian's father Wu Shiyan can be said to be the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, and Shangguan Wan'er's father was only a subordinate of the Zhou Dynasty, and finally he was killed for guilt, and Shangguan Wan'er became a slave.
Whether the birth is good or not determines the future fate, the ancient people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and there are many phenomena, and Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er were initially named five pin talents.
The title of Shangguan Wan'er was still given by Wu Zetian, indicating that the title of concubine "talented person" did not have any status, so it would make Wu Zetian feel "disdainful".
In fact, after the change of Xuanwumen, the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan was already very tense, and Li Yuan said that he abdicated the throne as emperor, but in fact he had already been under house arrest.
And the founding hero who fought with Li Yuan was finally reduced
Got the pieces
The object of co-optation with Li Shimin, from shangguan Wan'er's experience of being a talented person who had never served a female official, and compared with Wu Zetian's experience of being a talented person who had always been unfavored, in fact, Li Shimin also regarded Wu Zetian as a female official.
Therefore, at the same time overturning the fact that Wu Zetian had served the father and son, this is also the biggest misunderstanding of Li Shimin's father and son, some people say that Li Shimin summoned Wu Zetian into the palace because of lust, which is absolutely unjust.
