"Can piranha really eat people?" Why did Li Shimin cut off Wu Meiniang's head? It’s a Feng Shui master’s divination

Since ancient times, the dragon and the phoenix have shown auspiciousness, and the dragon is the master of the phoenix. No matter how prominent Phoenix is, it cannot escape the fate of its subsidiary companies. However, in Chinese history, there were many "true dragon emperors" who ruled the world, but one phoenix refused to accept its fate and became one of the emperors. She became the only female emperor she had never seen, and that dazzling phoenix was Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian’s rise to the top is a miracle in Chinese history. In a patriarchal society, if you dare to step on a man, you have supreme power, and she is the only one who rules the world. She created a myth and an era. But the complexity of the court behind her makes her an even more mysterious legend. Most of these mysterious colors are related to the dragon veins that accompany him throughout his life.

China is a country with deep-rooted male chauvinism. In thousands of years of ancient Chinese history, men were the masters of society, and women could only be in a subordinate position. However, Wu Zetian broke this myth. Not only did she step into the land of men, she also transformed from a phoenix into a dragon, taking charge of the world and becoming a "true dragon emperor" that had never been seen in Chinese history. Tracing the history of the Wu family, we can find clues from Wu Fayuan's landscapes.

The earliest birthplace of the Wu surname is in today's Henan Province. Later, as time went by, Wu continued to multiply and soon moved to neighboring Shandong, Jiangsu and other places. During the Warring States Period, a man named Wu was very active in the Central Plains.

Among them, a family named Wu from the north moved to Wenshui County, Shanxi Province. Wu Zetian is the eighth generation of this family. Geographically, Wenshui is like a bright pearl, originating from the Loess Plateau. Binzhou has a long history. As early as the Yao, Shun and Yu periods, this land has become a treasure land for people to thrive. In the Tang Dynasty, the prefecture and county were changed into Taiyuan Prefecture, which added a lot of luster to this land.

Binzhou is bordered by Luliang Mountain to the west and Taihang Mountain to the east, forming a unique geographical landform of "two mountains and one river". In the eyes of ancient scholars, Taihang Mountain and Luliang Mountain were one of the dragons in northern China. Wenshui is located between these two mountains, so it can naturally be protected and nourished by the dragon veins. It is natural for the Wu family to hide in such a treasure land full of dragon souls.

Wu Zetian’s father, Samurai_, was once a businessman. At that time, businessmen were not a class worth boasting about. The so-called "intellectuals, farmers and businessmen", businessmen are listed in the last column. Later, after some thinking, Samurai_ decided to join the army. The samurai_ was rich, which would help him survive in the military in the future.

Samurai_ is a very smart man. When he saw the chaos in the world and attacked in groups, he foresaw that the buildings of the Sui Dynasty would collapse. He found Li Yuan to be a reliable force, so from then on, Li Wu and his family formed an inseparable bond.

When Samurai _ fought against Tang Yuan, his wife and son died one after another, but he was loyal to his duty and did not go home. Later, when Li Yuan learned of this situation, he particularly praised him and planned to marry him again, not only as a gift, but also for friendship. After advocating the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Li introduced the daughter of the Sui Dynasty prime minister. After marrying Yang, they had three daughters, Wu Zetian was their second daughter.

After Li Yuan became emperor, Samurai was listed as a second-class hero and became one of the fourteen founding heroes at that time. Later, the warrior was named Ying Guogong, and was later transferred to Lizhou and Jingzhou as governor. Some people say that Wu Zetian could become a generation of emperors, and the place where she rose to power was Lizhou.

Lizhou is located in the hinterland of southwest China, on the upper reaches of the Jialing River. It is an important throat for entry and exit from Sichuan and is known as the "Gateway to Northern Sichuan" and the "Golden Triangle of Bashu". The terrain of Lizhou is high in the northeast and low in the northwest, forming a special geographical environment of Zhongshan area in the north, shallow hills and flat dams in the central valley, and low mountains in the south. The Jialing River flows with the momentum of the Yangtze River, with gentleness and perseverance, just like a courageous woman.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Lizhou area in northern Sichuan was a major transportation artery and trade distribution center. Lizhou has beautiful scenery and a mild and humid climate. People from the Tang Dynasty liked to live here when they went south. Lijiang is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years and has been the gateway to Sichuan since ancient times.

One day, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty held a banquet for military generals in his palace, and Li Junxian was also at the banquet. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty suddenly came up with a topic and asked the generals to talk about their nicknames. When he arrived at Li Junxian, he said that his nickname was "Fifth Lady", which was a girl's name, and everyone laughed at this female name. However, Tang Taizong suddenly remembered the prophecy of "Wang Wu's mistress". Thinking of this person, he is the guard of Xuanwu Gate, Zuo Wuwei, Wu Lianjun, Gong, Wu An, Wu Nianzi, and he is also a military general. Xuanmen is an important place. He ascended the throne from there, but he always felt that it was unsafe and felt that it was prophesied. Therefore, it didn't take long for him to find an excuse to kill Li Junxian. He thought that this would cancel the prophecy, but Wu Meiniang was beside him.

At this time, Wu Zetian was still a young talent and did not receive any special attention. She stayed in the palace for 12 years before giving birth to a half boy and half girl for Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the title of genius has not changed. In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty passed away. At that time, concubines were regarded as the private property of the emperor. Even if the emperor died, no one else could touch them. According to custom, concubines who have never given birth to children will become a monk, and concubines who have given birth to children will become widows because of the emperor's death. Wu Zetian had no choice but to get her hair cut at Ganye Temple.

In this case, Wu Zetian, who entered Ganye Temple as a nun, seemed to be living a lonely life. But, gold will always shine, but the real dragon will always show up, and a perfect opportunity will present itself.
