How did Xue Huaiyi play Wu Zetian

Xue Huaiyi was able to enter Wu Zetian's harem because he was handsome, otherwise he would not have been attracted by Wu Zetian and then became Wu Zetian's male favorite.

How did Er Zhang serve Wu Zetian

Introduction: In fact, when Wu Zetian’s male doting brother Er Zhang came to serve, Wu Zetian was already seventy-three years old. Even if she lived well and maintained good health, It is difficult to rejuvenate an old woman by taking drugs. So, why did Wu Zetian recruit the second male lead?

Two of Wu Zetian’s male favorites

1. Wu Zetian’s first male favorite was a “flower monk”

After entering the palace at the age of 14, Wu Zetian became Taizong’s “ "Martial Talent", but in fact she was the identical lover of Emperor Taizong and his son.

After the death of Emperor Taizong, Wu Zetian entered the temple as a nun and began a miserable and lonely life as a nun. Just when Wu Zetian encountered the lowest point in his life, Feng Xiaobao, who lived in the nearby White Horse Temple, appeared. The book records that Wu Zetian and Feng Xiaobao met at the well platform. Feng Xiaobao cherished the beauty and often helped Wu Zetian fetch water from the well. They came and went, and the two became familiar with each other. Since both of them were monks halfway, they could not resist the temptation of the secular world. Feng Xiaobao also preferred to eat meat. He often hunted pheasants and gave them to Wu Zetian to eat. Just like what young people say when they fall in love nowadays, "If I want to capture your heart, I must capture your body first." Stomach".

Feng Xiaobao secretly gave delicious food to Wu Zetian every three days. Wu Zetian also often used the name of fetching water from the well to have trysts with Feng Xiaobao. After Wu Zetian returned to the palace, she often secretly interacted with Feng Xiaobao. After Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian began to recruit male favors in the harem, and her confidant Feng Xiaobao was her first male favorite. Wu Zetian appointed him as an attendant and slept with Feng Xiaobao every night.

2. Wu Zetian and her daughter once used a male favorite

After Feng Xiaobao entered the palace, it was very inconvenient for him to have a tryst with Wu Zetian because he was not from a noble family. Wu Zetian tried every means to change Feng Xiaobao's behavior. Due to his identity, he was given the surname Xue and changed his name to Xue Huaiyi. Not only that, Wu Zetian also asked him to join the clan with Xue Shao, the husband of Princess Taiping, and asked Xue Shao to call him uncle, which greatly elevated Xue Huaiyi's status.

However, the favored Xue Huaiyi was not loyal to Wu Zetian. According to the revelations in the book, Xue Huaiyi kept many mistresses outside and gave birth to more than a dozen children, but the biggest lover among them was none other than Wu Zetian. The daughter of Princess Taiping, Xue Huaiyi became the male favorite of Wu Zetian and her daughter. After gaining the trust of Wu Zetian's mother and daughter, Xue Huaiyi was very arrogant and arrogant. He also took the opportunity to suppress Wu Zetian's other male favorites.

Wu Zetian had gradually become disgusted with him at this time, and Princess Taiping also advised Wu Zetian, saying that Xue Huaiyi was just a scoundrel in the market and was not worthy of favor at all, otherwise he would be ridiculed by generations to come. In the end, Xue Huaiyi ended up being "beaten to death with a stick." Not only that, Wu Zetian also ordered people to take Xue Huaiyi's body to the White Horse Temple, burn it to ashes, and build a pagoda in the mud.

3. Princess Taiping introduced a new male favorite to Wu Zetian

After Xue Huaiyi died, the number one male favorite around Wu Zetian officially "stepped down". Princess Taiping saw that Wu Zetian had no special favor for the time being. He took the initiative to recommend his lover Zhang Changzong and brothers Zhang Yizhi to Wu Zetian.

The two Zhang brothers described in the book as Wu Zetian’s male favorites can be described as extremely beautiful men, “nearly young, with fair skin, beautiful features, and picturesque eyebrows. His body is snow-white, without any blemishes, he is thin but not exposed, and he is plump. Not plump." After seeing the two brothers, Wu Zetian was overjoyed and very satisfied, and immediately accepted them as her male favorites.

After being favored by the two Zhang brothers, Wu Zetian also gained official fortune. He was first appointed as Zhonglang Jiang and Shaoqing, and then he was promoted to more positions. Prison. After Wu Zetian's male favorite Zhang brothers gained power, they became powerful. As members of Wu Zetian's "harem", they also intervened in Wu Zetian's government affairs. Even Wu Zetian's nephews Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others were vying to hold the whip for the two. horse. Relying on Wu Zetian's favor and trust, Wu Zetian favored the two Zhang brothers and competed with each other in luxury and cruelty in the palace. It was really arrogant.

4. The new favorite actually had sex with the girl Guan Wan'er

Although the two Zhang brothers were deeply favored by Wu Zetian, Zhang Changzong, like Xue Huaiyi, was not loyal to Wu Zetian. His confidant Shang Guan Wan'er has an affair.

The book records that Shangguan Wan'er was "coquettish and gorgeous, graceful and light, plus she was born smart, her sight could be remembered, her literary talent was outstanding, and she could write thousands of words, especially her calligraphy, which imitated hairpin flowers." Wan'er was Wu Zetian's confidant. When Wu Zetian's male favorite Zhang served Wu Zetian, she always accompanied her. At this time, Shangguan Wan'er was in love, and with Zhang Zongchang's beautiful appearance, Shangguan Wan'er could not resist his temptation.

One day, Shangguan Wan'er was flirting with Zhang Changzong in a private meeting, and she happened to be caught by Wu Zetian. How could Wu Zetian tolerate her male favorite having an affair with her personal maid? She was so angry that she pulled out a golden knife and inserted it into Shangguan Wan'er. She injured Shangguan Wan'er's left forehead with her bun, and said angrily: "You dare to approach my male favorite, you should be punished with death." Fortunately, Zhang Changzong interceded for Wan'er and was pardoned. There is also an interesting allusion left here: Because Wan'er had a scar on her forehead, she tattooed a red plum blossom on the scar to cover it. Who knew that the red plum blossom on her forehead made Wan'er more charming, and the palace ladies Everyone took this as a beauty, and some people secretly used rouge to put red on their foreheads to imitate it. Gradually, this kind of "red plum makeup" appeared in the palace.

How much does Wu Zetian need?

Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in Chinese history. Wu Zetian is somewhat different from others in recruiting male favors. It should be said that Wu Zetian recruited male favors mainly to quench her desire. This is related to the gene that women in the Wu family generally have strong sexual desire. When Wu Zetian's mother, a native of Rongguo Mansion, was eighty-eight years old, she was still full of sexual desire and actually committed incest and adultery with her grandson Helan Minzhi. Regarding this, the "Old Book of Tang Dynasty" said that "Minzhi was young and beautiful, and became the wife of Rongguo." "New Book of Tang" says that "Min Zhixiu was so beautiful that he was in Rongguo". Even Sima Guang, who was rigorous in his studies, also said in "Zizhi Tongjian" that "Min Zhi was beautiful in appearance and was famous in Taiyuan Princess". This shows that this is the case. Not fiction.

Has Wu Zetian ever had a male favorite?

After Wu Zetian became emperor, she was definitely not allowed to remarry due to pressure from all aspects. She was already considered the second generation of the Li family. No, remarriage is not justified logically. However, emperors of each dynasty had their own harems. Can female emperors also have their own harems? Therefore, it is said that Wu Zetian raised male pets. In fact, Wu Zetian did raise male pets in history, and there were many of them. It is said that the scale is as large as the average There is no difference between the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards. It seems that Wu Zetian's harem life in her later years was also very exciting. Wu Zetian reigned for 15 years, but she was already 67 years old when she succeeded to the throne. She was considered an old man in the Tang Dynasty. Can she still bear this kind of physical work?< /p>

Empress Wu Meiniang, Wu Zetian, is a legendary figure, Qin Shihuang is the only emperor throughout the ages, and she is indeed the first empress throughout the ages. She created the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, built mountains and bridges when encountering mountains, and finally achieved eternal legends.

Wu Zetian was already sixty years old when she ascended the throne. Everyone was particularly curious about her raising of male pets. Some of the young boys were carefully selected by her daughters. Wu Zetian, who was in her sixties, had long since lost her fertility. Why raise some men?

Unexpected things will always happen when a woman takes power. Since a woman can be an emperor, then Wu Zetian must be a feminist. When she is at the peak of her life, she will always do whatever she wants. After a while, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. Since I am the boss, what else can't I do? So there are so many little fresh meat.

Another point is that Wu Zetian is already over sixty years old. Living in an imperial family, how many real relatives can she have around her? Who can sit down and chat with her? Her children are looking forward to her death. , the ministers were wary of this queen. Even if Wu Zetian won the world, where did he go? More, more, choosing some male favorites by her side is just to pass the boring time of loneliness. When she is lonely, she can be with these people Say what's in your heart, at least it won't be spread out.

Even if you are superior, she is just a pitiful old woman who no one loves! Standing at the pinnacle of power, enjoying loneliness, is like Deng Chao’s song "Invincible":

How lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible, alone at the top with the cold wind blowing constantly, who can understand my loneliness.

Perhaps this song was Wu Zetian’s mood at that time.

Wu Zetian built a secret room in her residence, and she had people set up mechanisms in the secret room. She would come to this secret room every day to vent her emotions.

Finally, after Wu Zetian stepped down, Zhang Jian discovered this secret room. There were only portraits of Li Shimin and Li Zhi in it, and the others were simple tables and chairs. From here, it can be seen that Wu Zetian was also very fragile inside. , Wu Zetian, who seems to be infinitely beautiful, also has a fragile side that is unknown to everyone. Although she became the empress of the ages and made history, did she spend the rest of her life in fear and self-blame? She is also a woman!
