As the empress, Wu Zetian has always been talked about, and her private life has also attracted the attention of later generations。Before she became the queen mother and became the emperor, she raised a face like most men, so what does the face head mean?
The so-called face head is a beautiful man, and a woman has a few beautiful men around her, just like men often have beautiful wives and concubines around them, called male concubines or male pets. A generation of empress Wu Zetian, how can there not be a male pet. During Wu Zetian's reign, there were four heads recorded in the book, of which the first male favorite Xue Huaiyi occupied a large position.
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, came to Luoyang, and heard that there was a famous little girl here. Since she is famous, she must be very beautiful, and out of curiosity, she was summoned to the palace, and the fourteen-year-old Wu Zetian officially began her legendary life. Maybe it's because of the low status.
It is not worth mentioning, Wu Zetian's life after entering the palace is not recorded in detail.
Because he didn't get the Sacred Heart, Wu Zetian's title in the palace has not been promoted. But she is Wu Zetian, how can she sit still and wait to die! The old emperor was hopeless, so she shifted her gaze to the old emperor's son Li Zhi. When they met for the first time, Li Zhi was moved by his father's concubine at a glance, and since then he has been crooked in his head.
During Li Shimin's serious illness, the relationship between the two grew by leaps and bounds, and after Li Shimin died of illness, Wu Zetian became a nun in accordance with the rules of his ancestors. But with her character, she will not be willing to be a nun for the rest of her life, otherwise there will be no future achievements. In order to be able to leave the Ganye Temple, and for the sake of glory and wealth, her contact with Li Zhi has never been broken, and letters and things have happened from time to time.
On this day, it happened to be Li Shimin's death day, Wu Zetian knew that his opportunity had come, Li Zhi came to incense, and by coincidence, he met Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian knew that if he could seize the opportunity this time, he would be able to return to the palace. On the other side, Li Zhi didn't think about tea since he separated from Wu Zetian, so he thought about how to get Wu Zetian back.
Queen Wang saw it in your eyes, and in order to suppress Concubine Xiao Shu, she proposed to include Wu Zetian in the harem. Li Zhi was almost happy to death after hearing this, and he was still hesitating how to bring Wu Zetian back to the palace. After Wu Zetian returned to the palace, he soon won Li Zhi's love. became the queen as she wished.
Li Zhi died, Li Xian ascended the throne, and Wu Zetian was honored as the empress dowager. But how can she be in power as the queen mother, she, the queen mother, is not as powerful as when she was the queen, Wu Zetian thought about it for a while, and finally moved the idea of being the emperor.
Once the idea of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor is born, it will take root and sprout, and Wu Zetianli will overcome public opinion and finally ascend the throne and become the emperor. As the king of a country, how can there be no one to accompany him. At this time, the most favored is a male pet named Xue Huaiyi. He was born in the market, made a living by selling fish, and was a complete and downright ordinary man, with no money, no status, and no popularity.
is such a person, how did he get Wu Zetian's favor? Since ancient times, physical appearance has been the first criterion for evaluating people. Xue Huaiyi was discovered by Princess Qianjin because of his good looks, and then Princess Qianjin was sent to the palace in order to please Wu Zetian. I have to say that Princess Qianjin's move is really a huge risk, if Wu Zetian doesn't like Xue Huaiyi, the consequences can be imagined.
But this is the case, Wu Zetian liked Xue Huaiyi as soon as he saw it. In order to avoid criticism, Xue Huaiyi cut his hair and became a monk and named Huaiyi, which started his life of "flying yellow and Tengda". And Xue Huaiyi also took advantage of Wu Zetian's favor for him and stepped onto the stage of history step by step.
Since being favored by Wu Zetian, Xue Huaiyi has gradually become presumptuous. is a small person born in the market, and once he soared, he didn't know what the sky was high and the earth was thick. Relying on Wu Zetian's connivance with him, he openly dared to argue with the courtiers in the main hall, and the empty appearance perfectly confirmed what it means to be "pampered and arrogant".
I have to say that Wu Zetian's favor for Xue Huaiyi has no boundaries. In 685 AD, Xue Huaiyi suggested the establishment of the White Horse Temple, and Wu Zetian agreed without thinking about it. After the completion of the White Horse Temple, he presided over the temple, during which he was empty-eyed, did not abide by the law, and was overbearing, which attracted many people's criticism.
Wu Zetian ascended the throne and became the emperor, Xue Huaiyi also made a lot of effort in secret, and after she successfully ascended the throne as the emperor, Xue Huaiyi gradually got tired of serving the emperor, and often lived in the White Horse Temple, and did not go to see the emperor much.
Wu Zetian's favor for Xue Huaiyi has definitely reached the level of resignation, and he will agree to whatever he wants to do. Because of Xue Huaiyi's various evil deeds, he was finally ** by the courtiers. As the courtiers continued to write to express their feelings, Wu Zetian realized the seriousness of the problem, and coupled with Xue Huaiyi's previous actions, Wu Zetian gradually snubbed him.
In order to regain favor, Xue Huaiyi used many means to please Wu Zetian, but he didn't know that Wu Zetian was tired of him at this time. He was ashamed and angry, he couldn't get the emperor's heart, what was he still alive for! On the evening of one day, the Ming Hall was set on fire, and the fire borrowed the wind to help the fire, and the two Ming Halls and Heaven that had spent a lot of money were wiped out overnight. Wu Zetian was furious, and soon after the news of Xue Huaiyi's death came.
Since ancient times, there has never been a good end for people who are pampered and arrogant. Taking Xue Huaiyi's case as an example, not to mention what kind of person he became for the sake of power, just talking about Wu Zetian, as an emperor, her heart and means are all first-class, how could she change herself because of a person, and she still doesn't like it.
In the final analysis, the cause of Xue Huaiyi's death was because of himself. If he wasn't so arrogant and reckless, and relied on Wu Zetian's liking, he might be able to live in peace and clothing until he grew old. Wu Zetian can be the emperor, there must be the means used behind his back, Xue Huaiyi, as the person who helped Wu Zetian ascend the throne, has too many secrets, and it is difficult to guarantee that Wu Zetian will not think otherwise.
