"If you are brave enough, drag it out and kill it!In 685 A.D., the 70-year-old princess found out that her handmaid was having an affair with a handsome man, and in anger, she ordered her to be dragged out and killed. Unexpectedly, she fell in love with this man and dedicated him to Wu Zetian.
The man's name is Feng Xiaobao, a tall and mighty white-faced handsome guy, and his appearance is recorded in the "Old Tang Book": great and powerful.
Feng Xiaobao is a small street vendor who sells plasters in the market for a living.
On this day, the maidservant of Princess Qianjin went shopping, and accidentally saw Feng Xiaobao, and was immediately attracted by his majestic and handsome. (The people of the Tang Dynasty admired the white and tall men, and the later An Lushan also had such an image).
The maid began to talk to Feng Xiaobao, and after some communication, the two got along, and the maidservant took him into the house.
Maybe it was because the movement was too big, and their private affair was discovered by the princess Qianjin, who said angrily: "Dare to do something under my nose, dare to be bold enough, drag it out and kill you!."”
The maid was so frightened that she lay on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, but although Feng Xiaobao knelt, she was not afraid, showing a bold attitude.
Princess Qianjin has seen a lot of submissive people on weekdays, and Feng Xiaobao's fearlessness made her can't help but take a few more looks. No, this look, she actually had a good impression of Feng Xiaobao.
In this way, the young and strong Feng Xiaobao mixed with the 70-year-old princess daughter again.
After getting along for a period of time, Princess Qianjin felt that Feng Xiaobao was really a treasure, and her godmother Wu Zetian had been widowed for many years, so why not give this treasure to her godmother.
Godmother?Yes, you read that right, the 70-year-old princess is the goddaughter of the 61-year-old Wu Zetian.
She is Li Yuan's daughter, originally Wu Zetian's sister-in-law, later, Wu Zetian remarried Li Zhi, she became Wu Zetian's aunt, and later, she saw that the descendants of the Li family were about to be killed, and she gritted her teeth and worshiped Wu Zetian as a godmother.
In the end, Feng Xiaobao was given to Wu Zetian as a gift by Princess Qianjin.
Wu Zetian, who has been in drought for a long time, is naturally happy, and he fights with Feng Xiaobao every day.
In order to give Feng Xiaobao a suitable identity, Wu Zetian deliberately chose the surname of the Xue family and renamed him Xue Huaiyi. He also asked him to shave his hair and become the abbot of the White Horse Temple, giving him the title of national teacher.
Wu Zetian arranged this for two purposes:
1. Use Xue Huaiyi to preach Buddhist scriptures to influence the thoughts of people all over the world and pave the way for her to ascend to the throne;
Second, entering and leaving the palace as a national teacher to have a tryst with her can block the mouth of Youyou.
Since then, the national teacher Xue Huaiyi has been walking freely inside and outside the palace.
As the old saying goes: when the villain has ambition, he is rampant.
Xue Huaiyi is such a villain, he relied on Wu Zetian's favor and began to do nonsense.
He gathered some street thugs, shaved their hair, acted as fake monks, and fought cocks and lackeys with them, bullying men and women, causing the people to complain and suffer.
At this time, a royal historian named Feng Siqiao really couldn't see it, so he exposed Xue Huaiyi in the court. Unexpectedly, Xue Huaiyi held a grudge, made an appointment with his friends who drank and meat, and beat Feng Siqiao to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
Feng Siqiao played Wu Zetian with his injuries, hoping to be treated fairly.
However, Wu Zetian did not punish Xue Huaiyi, but left the excerpt in the middle, obviously protecting him. This move made the Manchu civil and military look at each other, and no one dared to provoke Xue Huaiyi again.
Later, Wu Zetian abolished his son Li Dan's throne and ascended the throne as emperor, and Xue Huaiyi became even more unscrupulous.
You may ask, why doesn't Wu Zetian care?
In fact, all of Xue Huaiyi's actions are under Wu Zetian's control, and the reason why she chose to turn a blind eye is because Xue Huaiyi has a merit in supporting her.
Wu Zetian connived at him, and the ministers feared him, but there was still someone who neither connived nor feared him, and this person was Prime Minister Su Liangsi.
On this day, Su Liangsi and Xue Huaiyi met in an alley. Xue Huaiyi was used to being arrogant, thinking that Su Liangsi would take the initiative to give way.
And Su Liangsi is a high-minded person, he looks down on those who rely on hue to climb high branches, of course, he will not give way, so the two sides are deadlocked.
Just as Xue Huaiyi was about to have a seizure, a few people suddenly rushed over from the opposite side, and "horned" at him was two big slaps, followed by punches and kicks, making him cry and call his mother.
Xue Huaiyi found Wu Zetian in embarrassment, threw himself into Wu Zetian's arms at once, and told him what had happened.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian didn't say anything, as long as he went back and took care of it, he continued to complete the repair of Mingtang.
Xue Huaiyi was depressed for a long time and realized that his position was not unshakable. So he did his best to build the majestic Ming Hall, hoping to regain his glory.
A year later, the 294-foot-high and 300-foot-wide Mingtang was finally completed, and he went to give Wu Zetian the good news with joy, only to find that Wu Zetian had a new favorite.
Suddenly, his heart was pierced by a cold wind, filled with anger, jealousy, and despair. These emotions were like a fire, burning his sanity and making him almost go crazy.
On the sixteenth day of the first month of 695 AD, Xue Huaiyi finally broke out, and a fire ignited the Ming Hall, and the entire Luoyang was illuminated, and Xue Huaiyi's distorted face was also illuminated.
He laughed, he knew that Mingtang was a symbol of imperial power and the building that Wu Zetian cared about the most, but he just couldn't restrain himself, he wanted revenge and destruction.
Wu Zetian watched the Ming Hall, which cost tens of millions, be destroyed like this, and was silent for half a month.
Half a month later, Xue Huaiyi died, and no one knows how he died.
In fact, in addition to being a villain, Xue Huaiyi is also a stupid person with a love brain.
He overestimated himself too much, and he also underestimated Wu Zetian.
He wants Wu Zetian to know what it means to "love you hurt you the most".
And Wu Zetian made him understand: as soon as a person floats, he will be stabbed.
