Chapter 408

"He said a sentence: The Empress is holding back, the world is not given, please abolish her!!"

"Everyone should be able to understand this sentence, it is to persuade Li Zhi to abolish her."

"Then he hurriedly wrote an edict to abolish the empress."

"As a result, before the edict was finished, Wu Zetian ran over angrily to question the crime."

"Who knows that Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi is a pig teammate, seconds cowardly, immediately threw the pot, saying that this matter has nothing to do with him, he doesn't have this idea, it was Shangguan Yi who said it."

"This time, Shangguan Yi was directly BBQed. Later, Wu Zetian imprisoned Shangguan Yi on charges of treason."

"In the end, he was executed together with Shangguan Wan'er's father, Shangguan Tingzhi."

"At the time, Lady Shangguan Wan'er had only just been born. Although she was spared from death, she and her mother, Lady Zheng, were cast into the Ye Court as convict slaves."

"It's just that gold will always shine."

"Shangguan Wan'er, who grew up in Yeting, was intelligent, diligent, and had a great literary talent."

"So much so that it alarmed Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian sent someone to call her, and then the things I said before happened."

"That is to say, although Wu Zetian is her father-killing enemy, she was too young at the time and had no memory at all."

"And the education she received also came from the palace, where it was all brainwashing education of loyalty and etiquette."

"Coupled with Wu Zetian exempting her from the status of a criminal slave, it is like giving a slap and then a candy."

"The most important thing is that she longed for power from the bottom of her heart, so such a person, once she grabs the opportunity, will never think about the hatred of killing her father again."

Everyone sighed after hearing this.

In fact, they can all understand.

In the era when imperial power was heaven.

It was basically impossible to take revenge.

Coupled with the fact that she had no consciousness of hatred at all, and Wu Zetian's reuse.

Not to mention her, most people ask themselves that they can only give up.

And Shangguan Wan'er grew up in Yeting.

The environment there has also been seen on TV.

Being bullied everywhere.

A person with such thoughts as Shangguan Wan'er must want to turn over.

So she would never give up the hard-won power.

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1...

——【After listening to Xiang Fangyang's explanation, I admire her a bit. Originally, I thought she was awesome because of her good background. Now I know that a slave who grew up in Yeting finally turned over to this extent is really amazing. Let's not talk about what kind of person she is, just her politics and literary talent are definitely ranked in the history of women.】

——【The worship of power can smooth out the hatred of killing one's father. Similar ones include Zheng He, and the common people for thousands of years. It is no exaggeration to say that if Shangguan Wan'er and others changed positions, most people would choose to be like her. Revenge itself is of little significance to her.】

——【Shangguan Wan'er is indeed a talent. Before, I only knew what skills Shangguan Wan'er had in the game. I didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding woman in history. It is amazing enough to be a prime minister, and as a result, her literary talent is also first-class. Such a person is definitely an explosive existence even in modern times.】

——【They are all awesome people. Although Wu Zetian's reputation is not very good, her contribution to the history of the Tang Dynasty is certain. If it is just in politics, she is still okay. But she killed her biological son if she didn't agree, I really can't understand, is she so afraid that her son will grab her throne?】

Speaking of this, Xiang Fangyang paused.

Next is to talk about Shangguan Wan'er's second half of her life.

"At that time, Wu Zetian's most beloved daughter, Princess Taiping."

"They were of similar age, about the same age, and often entered and exited the palace."

"The coming and going was very convenient, so the two had a very good private relationship."

"Coupled with the reasons for the political alliance, they combined together."

"So a princess and a prime minister who had been in the core layer for decades accumulated a lot of political resources, which was very terrifying."

"This alliance is also the reason for Shangguan Wan'er's death later."

"Because when Li Longji had a coup, he first killed Princess Anle, and then killed Empress Wei."

"He saw Shangguan Wan'er actually holding a candle to welcome him!"

"At the same time, she was holding an edict in her hand!"

"The content of the edict was not to let Empress Wei come to the court."

"It was written that Li Longji's father, Ruizong Li Dan, should assist in government."

"It means that I am on the same path as you, don't kill the teammates by mistake."

"As a result, Li Longji didn't care at all, he had already thought about the next step."

"He had already killed Princess Anle, killed Empress Wei, and the next one to face... naturally is Princess Taiping."

"Then this Shangguan Wan'er in front of him is Princess Taiping's biggest left and right arm, why not kill her if you don't kill her."

"He absolutely cannot tolerate these two people joining hands, so he made a decisive decision and ordered Shangguan Wan'er to be killed directly, without listening to your explanation at all."

"Many generals came to plead for mercy at the time, but he didn't accept it, he just killed."

"I don't know what her reaction was when this news reached Princess Taiping."

"But I guess she must have been very angry at first."

"The second should be sorrow."

"So let's look at the back of this epitaph."

"Everything written on it is her feelings in it."

"Yuan Dan Xianming, Shi Guang Fengrui, Gongwei Yi De, Ruo He Fu Qi."

"It means that you, Shangguan Wan'er, are wise and talented. Whether it was during the Wu Zetian period or the Zhongzong Li Xian period, you were favored and rewarded, with high power!"

245. A massive bronze bell, its sound echoing across the entire site.

"But... the turning point is coming."

On-site, Fang Yang was still explaining in a continuous flow.

"'The waters of the Xiaoxiang run dry, the Wanwei Mountain collapses. Pearls sink and break, jade shatters in the Liancheng.'"

"It means that your sudden passing is to me like the waters of the Xiaoxiang suddenly ceasing to flow."

"The mountain peaks have collapsed, and the jade has shattered in the Liancheng."

"Finally, it says: 'Gazing upon the pines and catalpas, listening quietly to the tomb. For a thousand years and ten thousand ages, the pepper-flower songs of praise.'"

"I have come before your grave, listening to the sound of the wind passing through the pines and tea trees before the tomb."

"I hope that a thousand years from now, there will still be someone who remembers you as I do, coming to your grave to pay their respects."

"Therefore, for a thousand years and ten thousand ages, the pepper-flower songs of praise."

"From this, we can see that the affection between Princess Taiping and Lady Shangguan Wan'er must have been very deep."

"I believe they had a relationship of political interest, but the affection was indeed genuine; these few lines of the epitaph are quite moving."

"So, Princess Taiping later did one thing."

"She sent people to collect Lady Shangguan Wan'er's poetry collection to pass it down to future generations."

"Today, the poems by Lady Shangguan Wan'er that we read in the 'Complete Tang Poems' were all collected by Princess Taiping."

"However, traditional history books record that these poems were collected by Li Longji."

"Very obviously, that is simply impossible!"

"Li Longji would absolutely never do such a thing; he would only do one thing: he wanted a thorough purge."

"Think about it: back then, Li Longji killed Lady Shangguan Wan'er, but then Princess Taiping rehabilitated her, gave her a grand funeral at state expense, and even used such high-ranking honors to praise her."

"This was equivalent to slapping him in the face, telling him he had killed the wrong person. As an Emperor, could he endure that?"

"So later, after Li Longji killed his aunt, Princess Taiping, the first thing he thought of was to dig up Lady Shangguan Wan'er's grave!"

"This is also why Lady Shangguan Wan'er's tomb was already severely damaged when it was discovered."

"Moreover, this destruction was an official act, a case of 'grinding bones and scattering ashes,' leaving the inside in a complete mess."

"This was also a means of striking at political enemies in ancient times."

"So he directly dug up Lady Shangguan Wan'er's tomb, and even the epitaph was thrown here for some reason."

"Coupled with the records in history books, it led to the error only being realized today."

"This is actually the significance of archaeology; without archaeology, the story of Lady Shangguan Wan'er would never be known to later generations."

"History is written by the victors; whatever Li Longji said back then is how history was recorded."

"A talented and politically outstanding strong woman was smeared for over a thousand years because of a single thought from an Emperor."

"There are many such cases..."

"For example, Qin Shi Huang; when I was young, I always heard he was a tyrant, but only later did I learn he was truly the greatest Emperor through the ages."
