Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 200 The Prime Minister, Shangguan Wan'er

【She really loves and pursues her whole life, but what she gets in return is that she never gets married and is lonely all her life.

In the summer of the sixth year of Yamato (832 A.D.), a generation of talented poetess Xue Tao closed her eyes peacefully.

In the second year, Duan Wenchang, who was a former prime minister, personally wrote an epitaph for her. On the tombstone, it said "the tomb of Xue Tao Hongdu, the secretary of Xichuan girls' school".

Now there is a couplet in Wangjiang Tower:
The ancient well is cold and the sun is setting. I ask how many loquat trees are there. Where is the Xiaoshumen Lane?
The big river crosses the winding threshold, occupying the misty rain on the first floor, and the thatched cottage of the Ministry of Industry must be divided equally.

By comparing her with Du Fu, the general idea is to express: they are both poor people in the world, and it also proves from the side that she has the qualifications to be compared with Du Fu, the poet fairy. 】

[To sum up, Xue Tao ranks fifth among the top ten talented women in history, and he deserves it! 】

"She obviously had so many choices in her life, but she died alone for a man. Is it worth it?"

"Maybe it's because there's nothing more sorrowful than heartbreak, but she still gave up her feelings by mistake after all."

"Man! Hehe!"

Xue Tao's lonely life makes people sigh, but fortunately, she has left her own historical traces. In this regard, she is probably better than most people.

Such a topic is somewhat heavy and depressing.

After a short break, the fourth talented woman is about to make her debut.

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: An inventory of the top ten talented women in history! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

[The fourth place among the top ten talented women in history: Prime Minister, Shangguan Wan'er]

Wu Zetian stared at the light curtain in mid-air, and muttered to himself: "A female prime minister? Can a woman be a prime minister?"

Li Zhi looked at Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful face, and said to Wu Zetian: "Women also have great talents, such as you, my queen!"

"."

[Shangguan Waner, surnamed Shangguan, also known as Shangguan Zhaorong, was born in Shanxian County, Shanzhou Prefecture, and her ancestral home was Shangyu County, Longxi County. She was a female official, poet, and imperial concubine in the Tang Dynasty.During Wu Zetian's period, she was a Neisheren who was known as the "Heroine Prime Minister". 】

[Shangguan Wan'er was born in a famous family, claiming to be a descendant of Shangguan Jie in the Western Han Dynasty, and her grandfather was Shangguanyi, the prime minister of Emperor Gaozong.

Shangguan Wan'er was supposed to be the noble daughter of the Xiangfu, but in the first year of Linde (AD 664), Shangguanyi was convicted of drafting an edict to abolish Empress Wu Zetian for Li Zhi, and she and her son Shangguan Tingzhi were killed by Wu Zetian.

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er, who was still in her infancy, was confiscated into the Ye Court along with her mother, the Zheng family, as slaves. The ups and downs of fate were like a bad joke. 】

[However, even though she has been reduced to Ye Ting, the Zheng family still strictly trains her daughter.

Because of this, Shangguan Wan'er has been reading poetry and books under the guidance of her mother since she was a child. Even the "Old Tang Book" said: "There are literary words, and she understands official affairs." 】

[In 677 AD, Prince Li Xian and ministers Pei Yan and King Luo Bin planned a coup against the military, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was only 14 years old, also actively participated in revenge.

However, things came to light, the crown prince was deposed, Pei Yan was beheaded, and King Luo Bin narrowly escaped death.

Shangguan Wan'er was also going to be executed, but the result was completely opposite.

Not only was she not killed by Wu Zetian, but she also made an exception and accepted her as a confidential secretary.

What is the reason?

In fact, the most important thing is that Shangguan Wan'er was talented, and Wu Zetian loved talent so much, that's why she was spared. 】

[Shangguan Wan'er wrote a poem "Colorful Book Complaint" when she was 14 years old, which was accidentally discovered by Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian didn't believe that such a good poem could be written by a young girl, so she used the theme of indoor ribbon-cutting flowers and asked her to improvise a five-rhythm poem, and at the same time use the same rhyme as "Colourful Book Resentment".

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a while, and quickly wrote:
The dense leaves are cut and vomited, and the new flowers are cut and relaxed.

Although the climbing sticks are not liao, picking the pistils is enough to know the emptiness.

The origin of spring comes, and autumn is not yet willing to sparse.

May I ask peaches and plums, what is the desire for chaos? 】

[After Wu Zetian saw it, she repeatedly claimed that she was good and praised her as a talented woman.

But she pretended to be puzzled about "May I ask Tao Jiang Li, what is the desire for chaos?" and asked Shangguan Wan'er what she meant.

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "It's about fake flowers, so the fake ones confuse the real ones."

After hearing this, Wu Zetian suddenly asked, "Are you making insinuations on purpose?"

Facing Empress Wu Zetian with a strong aura, Wan'er replied very calmly: "Empress, I heard that there is no definite explanation for poetry, it depends on the state of mind of the interpreter. Don’t even dare to quibble.”

"Good answer!" Wu Zetian was not only not angry, but also praised with a smile: "I just like your stubborn character."]

[Then, Wu Zetian told Shangguan Wan'er the story of subduing the fierce horse Shizi Cong when she entered the palace at the age of 14, and asked Wan'er: "I killed your grandfather and also killed your father. You should treat me differently." Dai Tian's revenge?"

Shangguan Wan'er still said calmly: "If Your Majesty thinks it is true, this servant will not dare to say otherwise."

Wu Zetian praised her for her good answer and said that she was looking forward to such an answer.

Wu Zetian praised the literary talent of Wan'er's grandfather, Shangguanyi, and exposed Shangguanyi's crimes in drafting the abolished imperial edict, hoping that Wan'er could understand her and be loyal to her!

However, not only did Wan'er not be loyal to Wu Zetian, but for the purpose of avenging her family, she participated in the coup and became a sinner. 】

[After the coup failed, for Gaozong, Wan'er should be full of sympathy and try to protect her.

But he was afraid of Wu Zetian, so he could only excuse that he was sick and "can't think too much", and let Wu Zetian make his own decision.

As for the Minister of Justice, they can only propose that "should be hanged" according to the law. If they think that they are young, they can also be sentenced to exile, that is, they will be sent to Lingnan to serve as an army.

In the end, Wu Zetian still fell in love with Shangguan Waner's talent, and thought: According to her crime, she should be sentenced to hang, but she is only a teenager, and she can get better with more education, so she should not be executed.

And the dispatch to Lingnan, where the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the environment is harsh, for a young girl, it is tantamount to killing her, which is too serious.Shangguan Wan'er is very talented. If he is cultivated carefully, he will definitely become a very outstanding talent.

In view of this, Wu Zetian decided to impose a tattoo on Wan'er, that is, to tattoo a plum blossom on her forehead and paint it with cinnabar.

And keep Wan'er by her side, using her own power to influence Shangguan Wan'er.

At the same time, Wu Zetian also said to the public: "If I can't even influence a teenage girl, how can I 'moralize the world'?"

As a result, Wu Zetian really influenced Shangguan Wan'er.

She should have been killed instead of killed, but stayed by her side, which made Wan'er very grateful. 】

[Since then, Wu Zetian has been guiding Wan'er carefully, influencing her, cultivating her, and reusing her in many ways.

From Wu Zetian's words and deeds, Shangguan Wan'er also learned about her talent for governing the country, her broad mind and superb art of controlling people, so the grievances in her heart completely disappeared, replaced by admiration, respect and love.

In order to repay Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er used her ingenuity to solve Wu Zetian's worries and problems, and finally became Wu Zetian's most powerful confidant. 】
