Introduction: In the thousands of years of history of the mainland, it has experienced the replacement of many dynasties, and the emperor has naturally undergone many changes. Although the emperors are basically men, there is still a very good female emperor in the history of the mainland, and Presumably everyone is no stranger to this person, and even many people worship her. She is the Empress Wu Zetian who does not let her eyebrows be shaved!
Although there was no precedent for a woman to be an official, let alone an emperor, Wu Zetian opened up her own unique path regardless of the world's vision, and her behavior was supported by many people and opposed by many people at that time. Later, when Wu Zetian abdicated, most of the courtiers were happy, but only one person felt sad about this, and these cheering courtiers died for various reasons, and only this person lived well.
However, there are also many different views on Wu Zetian's reign, because she has become the Bole of many people, so that those whose talents have been buried can have the opportunity to show their skills. However, because Wu Zetian's practices in some aspects were more brutal, and her life was relatively unacceptable to everyone, there were not too many people in the court who truly submitted to her.
However, there was a courtier who was very grateful to Wu Zetian from beginning to end, and it was this talent who openly cried in the court when Wu Zetian abdicated, and this person was Yao Chong. Yao Chong's father was also an official of the Tang Dynasty, and he had many meritorious achievements during his time as an official, and Yao Chong, who was deeply influenced by his father since he was a child, naturally knew how to distinguish between right and wrong, and there must be a future in the future.
However, although his father made great contributions to the people during his tenure as an official in the dynasty, he was helpless in the face of the gangs and factions in the court, and even to the point of deep hatred. After seeing through these court disputes, Yao Chong's father resolutely chose to resign his official post and return to his hometown and lead the family to live an ordinary life, because he did not want to get involved in the partisan disputes between the dprk and the central government, so this was the best way.
Later, Yao Chong's father died not long after, and Yao Chong's was only a teenager at this time. Although his father died, as far as Yao Chong,but as far as Yao Chong,his father has always lived in his heart, and his father's way of acting as an official and what he has done has become the direction of his progress. In order to avoid falling into partisanship like his father, Yao Chong did not choose to become an official in politics, but chose to join the army.
As the saying goes, it is the gold that shines no matter how it is, even if Yao Chong enters the military camp, he has won a lot of praise for his outstanding performance, and finally became a soldier waiter. It was also at this time that Wu Zetian, who had recently ascended the throne, took a fancy to Yao Chong's talent, and under her appreciation and support, Yao Chong's ascension rose step by step, and finally sat in the position of prime minister!
All this is because of Wu Zetian's appreciation and affirmation, and it is precisely in this way that Yao Chong can exert his greatest value as much as possible to benefit the people. However, later, with the passage of time, there was also a partisan dispute in the court, and the things that Yao Chong's father had faced finally fell on his head. Yao Chong, who knew the way of being an official, also hated these things very much, so like his father, he chose to resign from the official and live in seclusion.
However, as Wu Zetian grew older, he was obviously a little overwhelmed with the government affairs that could not be handled every day in the court, so he slowly assigned these government affairs to other trusted ministers. In the long run, Wu Zetian's control over the court naturally became weak, and Wu Zetian had to recall Yao Chong's back to the court to help him when he knew that he was in a difficult situation.
However, before Wu Zetian could regain his lost power, he was forced to abdicate. The position of emperor fell into the hands of the Li Tang royal family again, but it was obvious that some old ministers were unwilling to accept this coup, after all, the new emperor's ascension to the throne meant that the old ministers became the biggest threat. In order to consolidate his position, the emperor would naturally find ways to deal with these old ministers.
However, in the face of Wu Zetian's abdication, most of the courtiers were happy, but only Yao Chong, who showed more obviously, even disregarded the new emperor's prestige and bowed his head above the court to wipe away tears. After all, if there was no Wu Zetian, he wouldn't have everything he had now, for him, Wu Zetian was his own Bole, and it was a great honor to be able to get the unconditional trust of a generation of kings!
However, later these old ministers were exiled to the frontier by the new emperor for various reasons, and these old ministers basically died in the exile land. After all, they were deeply rooted in the dynasty, and if they were not removed every day, they would bring no small threat to the emperor, and only Yao Chong, who was only exiled, saved his life.
Summary: In the end, Yao Chong was still recalled by the emperor to serve as an official, after all, there are not many officials like him who are dedicated to the people and clean, and they should be used well. This also shows that as an official, you should keep the people of the world in mind, rather than always thinking about your own interests, after all, there is no emperor without the people, and without the emperor, there is no official like them, and the people are the real foundation of the country.
