What a familiar place it was to her.
When she was a teenager, she was full of dreams to enter this palace compound, but she was not greeted by Feihuang Tengda, but by a long night of being alone in an empty house, and even finally fell into the temple and became a little nun.
These colorful experiences allowed Wu Zetian to learn important lessons in life. This time, entering the harem again, she deeply understood that she could no longer be as impulsive and reckless as before.
Even though Wu Zetian returned to the familiar palace again, the situation she faced was full of challenges. As a widow of a former dynasty and the concubine of the current emperor, her position is not stable, and she must face greater resistance if she wants to achieve great development.
After going through many hardships, Wu Zetian realized that it is often difficult to achieve the expected results in a hurry, so she chose to operate steadily. So, how did she behave?
To put it simply, she has great respect for her leaders, solidarity and mutual assistance to her colleagues, and gradually accumulates strength. Here"Leadership"Naturally, it refers to Li Zhi and Empress Wang.
Li Zhi is the chairman of the Tang Empire, and Empress Wang is the vice chairman, controlling half of the empire.
If it offends them, it may cause Wu Zetian to be beaten back to his original form again and return to the temple to live a hard life. This time, Wu Zetian will never lose.
At the same time, Wu Zetian also attaches great importance to the relationship with his colleagues, because"Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult", even seemingly insignificant minor characters can give you a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Wu Zetian is in her twenties, much more mature and stable than the palace maids around her, and even some little palace maids call her "auntie" is not too much. Therefore, the depth of her city is naturally beyond all people.
By the emperor's side, she had already figured out Li Zhi's mind and shaped herself into a mixture of mother and wife.
Li Zhi has lacked maternal love since he was a child, and he is particularly dependent, he likes to have an assertive person around him to help him, and when he encounters difficulties, this person must also be able to help him solve problems, and this is what Wu Zetian is good at.
In order to stabilize his position, Wu Zetian almost obeyed Li Zhi's words, and the medicine was right, and Li Zhi was naturally very satisfied with her.
Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were by the side of Empress Wang, Wu Zetian showed extremely high obedience, was willing to be in a low position, always obeyed the command of Empress Wang, no matter what Empress Wang asked her to do, she would not hesitate to do it, this is her organizing principle, she promised to fully meet the requirements of the organization.
Such Wu Zetian was naturally loved by Queen Wang, who ignored the world's eyes and accepted Wu Zetian into the harem, just to find an obedient helper to compete with Concubine Xiao Shu.
Now, Wu Zetian is so obedient, and Queen Wang feels that it is worth it. Therefore, Queen Wang often praised Wu Zetian in front of Li Zhi, saying that she was sensible and sensible, and Li Zhi was of course very happy to hear this, which can be regarded as a disguised praise for his unique vision.
Wu Zetian won the hearts of the people in the court and established a deep friendship with the palace ladies.
She not only called the palace ladies sisters, but also cared about their suffering, whenever the palace ladies were punished by the queen, she would quietly comfort them, so as to gain the support and trust of the palace maids.
When the emperor and queen gave her things, she would not enjoy them alone, but distributed them among the palace ladies so that everyone could thank her for her kindness. This behavior has made her mass base more and more solid.
Some people may say that there is no need to spend too much energy on the palace maid, as long as the leader is served well. But this is not the case, and the role played by the court ladies in it is sometimes even more important than that of the leadership.
Most of the palace maids around the queen later became Wu Zetian's eyeliner, and the queen's recent actions and remarks were under Wu Zetian's control, and these palace maids actually became Wu Zetian's free intelligence officers.
In contrast, the queen was a bit aloof, she came from a prestigious family, but her aristocratic habits alienated her from the ladies. Her arrogance and severity frightened the court ladies, and she often physically punished them.
This behavior made the palace maids begin to lean towards Wu Zetian, believing that she was more trustworthy.
Wu Zetian's influence in the harem gradually expanded, and even the queen couldn't compare to her. In the second year of Yonghui, she was promoted to Zhaoyi in everyone's congratulations, and her status was second only to the concubine.
Her promotion speed is as fast as a rocket, and she is already equivalent to a ministerial-level cadre. Her mature charm made Li Zhi deeply involved in her, and Concubine Xiao Shufei was no longer taken seriously, and the birth record was stopped because of this.
Wu Zetian and Li Zhi have been together, and they soon came to fruition.
In the third year of Yonghui, her first child was born, and it was a son, and this news is undoubtedly a huge good news, because the arrival of this son has stabilized her position, and the mother is expensive by virtue of the son.
Wu Zetian was very happy and named his son Li Hong.
The name sounds quite ordinary, but it has a lot of connotations. According to Taoist proverbs since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the name Li Hong has religious overtones, which means that Taishang Laojun will go down to earth to save suffering and be reincarnated in the world, and Li Hong is the name of Taishang Laojun.
Behind this name, there is an infinite ambition hidden, which seems to tell everyone that this child may inherit the throne in the future.
Empress Li Hongwang is full of talent, and she can understand the deep meaning when she hears this name. She gradually realized Wu Zetian's ambition, did she really take the risk of throwing herself into the net this time in order to defeat Concubine Xiao Shu?
