What unforgivable things did Xue Huaiyi, Wu Zetian's favorite monk, do to her?

In essence, Xue Huaiyi did not do anything unforgivable to Wu Zetian! Whether it is snubbing Wu Zetian or setting fire to Tang Ming and heaven, this is actually a simple competitive behavior, not disloyalty to Wu Zetian.

Although Wu Zetian is a woman, she is also an emperor. As the supreme in the world, she is no different from the male emperors of past dynasties. She has secular desires and her own "three thousand harem beauties". In the harem, there will naturally be a struggle for favor. Because Wu Zetian's "concubines" are all men, this struggle is more intense than other periods!

After all, it's different from women. Once Toy Boy of Wu Zetian is favored by Wu Zetian, it is a Yuelongmen. You can jump from a civilian to a powerful person in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, if Wu Zetian's favor is lost, Toy Boy, who debuted as a woman, can instantly change from a powerful person to a powerless civilian without her own abilities.

In a word, for Toy Boy of Wu Zetian, whether they can be rich or not depends entirely on Wu Zetian's kindness to them. When Wu Zetian dotes on herself, she becomes a Yue Longmen and a master that others are afraid of. If you are tired of yourself, you will fall into hell and become an ordinary person that everyone can bully.

Therefore, seeing through this relationship, we can easily understand why Xue Huaiyi later did something that ordinary people can't understand. Without him, that's because Xue Huaiyi, who fell out of favor, wanted to use these things to get Wu Zetian's attention again and then become a courtier's favorite again!

Xue Huaiyi, formerly known as Feng Xiaobao. It turns out that she is just a small vendor in Luoyang who sells wild medicine for a living. Because she is very strong, handsome and eloquent, she is taken a fancy to by the maid of the daughter of Tang Gaozu Tang Gaozu and becomes her lover. Occasionally, the maid secretly brought Xue Huaiyi into the princess's house and was discovered by the princess's daughter. Then the daughter princess saw him handsome and burly, so she kept him for her own use.

From then on, Xue Huaiyi began his legendary life.

When Xue Huaiyi was attracted by her daughter princess, she was trying to please Wu Zetian. In order to make Wu Zetian take a fancy to herself, she dedicated Xue Huaiyi to Wu Zetian, who had been widowed for many years, hoping to win a chance for herself through him. When Wu Zetian first met Xue Huaiyi, she was impressed by his handsome face and strong physique, and fell in love with this handsome young man deeply. Later, in order to accompany her to the palace often without being noticed by others, she was made a monk, changed her surname to Xue, and was named Huaiyi, and ordered Xue Shao to consider Ji Fu as Xue's.

From then on, under the grace of Wu Zetian, Xue Huaiyi, who changed her name and surname, became a peddler at an early age, a powerful man who could ride a stable horse when she left the palace, and a servant of the official. All Wu's kings and court officials need to give each other courtesy and call her "Shi Xue".

Monk Xue Huaiyi

From then on, Xue Huaiyi, who was deeply loved by Wu Zetian, was originally a peddler and had a smooth career. With the intentional support of Wu Zetian (for example, he lived for two years (693), Turks invaded the border. Wu Zetian appointed Xue Huaiyi as the general manager of the anti-Daoism. She knew that he was incompetent, but in order to ensure his chance of meritorious service, he invited two prime ministers to be his aides and eighteen generals to be his generals. It can be said that Xue Huaiyi led the troops this time. Finally, he became lord protector, Hubei, and General Youwei (you know, the famous Di never got the title of Hubei Duke, but he was posthumously named Liang to protect the Lord protector, and one of them was named lord protector, Hubei without merit, which shows how he soared! )。

At that time, Xue Huaiyi was "good at spoiling the emperor of Wu, and gained a great reputation in the world".

However, as the saying goes, "Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, people don't bloom for a thousand days". As time goes by, there are more and more Toy Boy around Wu Zetian, and Xue Huaiyi gradually falls out of favor, and her status is also declining. Seeing that Wu Zetian no longer belonged to herself, Xue Huaiyi, who was afraid that everything she had now would disappear, carefully planned a huge plan in order to gain Wu Zetian's favor again.

On the 15th day of the first month in the year of Shengyuan (695), due to the coming of Shangyuan Festival, the court cancelled the curfew, and the marquis of Wu issued a decree to celebrate the whole world. At this point, in order to win the favor of Wu Zetian again, Xue Huaiyi ordered people to dig a five-foot-deep pit underground in Tang Ming, buried the Buddha statue and mounted the organ. Then, a palace was built with silk above the pit. After Wu Zetian came to the main hall, Xue Huaiyi had the Buddha slowly pulled out from the bottom of the pit and pulled it into the palace built of colored silk. Seen from the side, it looks like a Buddha jumping out of the ground.

In addition, Xue Huaiyi beheaded a cow, painted a 200-foot-high Buddha statue with cow blood, and then hung the Buddha statue painted with cow blood on the Tianjin Bridge. Later, when Wuhou asked about him, he lied that he had cut his knee and painted it with his own blood.

Wu Zetian stills

The purpose of Xue Huaiyi's painstaking preparation of these two programs is to regain Wu Zetian's favor, make her pamper herself again, and then consolidate her prominent position as a master here today. However, at this time, Wu Zetian has lost interest in Xue Huaiyi from the bottom of her heart, just thinking about her past mutual affection. She didn't completely put him in the cold, but still let him enjoy the supreme prosperity. Therefore, no matter how Xue Huaiyi expresses himself and prepares a beautiful program, Wu Zetian still won't have any interest in him.

At this time, Xue Huaiyi saw her carefully prepared program, but Wu Zetian turned a blind eye and became furious. Xue Huaiyi has suffered such humiliation since she was taken a fancy to by Wu Zetian. When he was so elegant, the Prime Minister allowed himself to beat and scold, and did not dare to have a trace of dissatisfaction. Even the emperor bowed to his legs. What an honor. However, at this time, He Xue Huaiyi tried his best to please Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian turned a blind eye, which was really his great shame!

To this end, Xue Huaiyi, who was carried away by anger, set fire to the Temple of Heaven built by Wu Zetian with huge sum of money and exhausted treasures the next night. With the wind, the fire spread rapidly, and soon heaven was burned out, leaving only a pile of ashes. Then the fire continued to spread, burning another magnificent hall. The fire was blazing, and the whole Luoyang was illuminated as day. The fire burned until dawn.

The Great Hall and the Heaven are both things that Wu Zetian loves, and they were built at great cost. At this time, Xue Huaiyi actually burned what he loved. How does Wu Can tolerate it? This is naked hitting yourself in the face.

Therefore, the outcome of Xue Huaiyi can be imagined. To put it bluntly, it is not far from death! On February 4th, the second year of Yan (695), Xue Huaiyi was killed after burning Tang Ming and heaven for more than half a month.

Xue Huaiyi Steels

Of course, the cause of Xue Huaiyi's death is still controversial.

It is said that Wu Zetian was furious because she burned her beloved things, fearing that Xue Huaiyi would talk big and show the world the complicated relationship between him and her, so she secretly ordered Princess Taiping and Wu Yousi to arrest her in the Eta Ursae Majoris Hall, and then Wu Yousi smashed her to death with a hammer, and Xue Huaiyi died of a split brain.

It is said that Wu Zetian didn't want to kill him at first, but a maid-in-waiting named Yidu remonstrated with Wu Zetian, saying that men were Yang and women were Yin. If Wu Zetian uses Toy Boy, she will plot against Yang and destroy the Great Wall. Therefore, Toy Boy must be eliminated to cultivate her own masculinity. Only in this way can she be in power for a long time. Empress Wu felt very reasonable after hearing this, so she ordered the execution of Xue Huaiyi.

It is said that Wu Zetian secretly ordered Wu Youning to assassinate him. According to Zi Jian, after receiving the imperial edict from Wu Zetian, Wu was beaten to death by a samurai in the Ursa Major Hall in Miyagi, Luoyang. It is also said that Wu Zetian secretly ordered the assassination of Princess Taiping. After receiving the imperial edict, Princess Taiping ordered Mrs. Zhang, the wet nurse, to lead a strong man to ambush in the Hall of the Great Hero in Eta. When Xue Huaiyi arrived, she threw herself on the ground and killed her with a club.

In short, no matter what kind of statement, Xue Huaiyi's final outcome was to offend Wu Zetian, who finally ordered her to be put to death.
