Wu Zetian's portrait
There was a time in the TV series when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was seriously ill. Wu Zetian came to the court to listen to politics, and many ministers went to the court. Shangguan Yi was one of the leaders. Later, Wu Zetian personally went to Shangguan Yi's house to find him, hoping that Shangguan Yi could help him. If such a prime minister takes the lead in discussing state affairs in the court, civil and military officials will definitely not go to the court again. Therefore, Shangguan Yi said, if you are not the queen, then everyone will definitely not oppose you, and the two of them will hug to each other and cry bitterly. When God knew that Shangguan Yi was later executed, Wu Zetian also said that she should take good care of her granddaughter and then try her best to train her.
But in fact, the relationship between two people is far less complicated than in history. Even if the harem is in chaos and Li Zhi is seriously ill, how can they say that one is the queen and the other is the prime minister? They are all famous public figures. How can they do anything? Wu Zetian is ambitious and has a strong desire for control. At this point, Shangguan Yi is still the political enemy of Wu Zetian. After all, as a prime minister, she still has some influence on officials. And Shangguan Yi is a loyal supporter of the Lee Dynasty. Later, he suggested that Li Zhi abolish Wu Zetian and make Wu Zetian bear a grudge, so that he was later framed by Wu Zetian's men as Shangguan Yi's intention to rebel and was sentenced to death.
Shangguan Yi in the Tang Dynasty probably didn't know much about Shangguan Yi, but when it comes to Shangguan Waner, probably not many people don't know. Shangguan Yi is Shangguan Waner's grandfather. He was born in Sui and Tang Dynasties and lived in Jiangdu with his father in his early years. But in the 14th year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Di died and his father was killed. Shangguan Yi turned to become a monk to avoid disaster.

Although Shangguan Yi shaved himself, he was not a real monk. In addition to studying Buddhist classics, Shangguan Yi also studied the Three Theories of Confucianism and was very good at writing poems. Later, when the Tang Dynasty was established, during the Zhenguan period, Shangguan Yi gained the esteem of Yangzhou viceroy at that time and was recommended to take the imperial examination. Sure enough, he passed the imperial examination in one fell swoop. Because of his good literary talent, Shangguan Yi often helps Li Shimin to draft letters and can attend banquets in the palace. At the same time, he won the trust of the prime minister Fang and others at that time and participated in the compilation of the Book of Jin. Therefore, he was promoted and awarded as a living lang. After that, he rose steadily and became a.
However, the good times did not last long. Later, with the increasing power of Wu Zetian, the struggle between Tang Gaozong and her became more and more fierce. As a loyal royalist, Shangguan Yi also ate the seedlings. Wu Zetian secretly ordered his men to falsely accuse Shangguan Yi of conspiring with the deposed Prince Jong Li, and was sentenced to death. Interestingly, Jong Li's letters were drafted by Shangguan Yi at that time, but now they have become accomplices in the rebellion. From then on, Li's influence was completely sidelined, and Wu Zetian officially took control of the court. Later, the famous Shangguan Waner was still in infancy, and later she gained the trust of Wu Zetian. It was not until the death of Wu Zetian that Shangguan Yi was named King of Chu.
