Wu Zetian
? The similarities can be seen from the following aspects:
? First, they have some similarities in experience, temperament and talent. They are all very talented, called "talented women", and of course they are "both talented and beautiful", which few people can compare with. Both of them were elected to the palace at the age of 14. It can be said that they were all recognized by discerning people and opened the peak moment in the future. Both of them are called "strong women" in modern times. They are ambitious, with both means and intentions. They want to do what they want, and the people they like pursue it. Of course, due to the inherent traditional thought that men are superior to women, women pursue their sweetheart, and if they have a lover, they will be gossiped and not accepted by the world. However, Wu Zetian dared to do whatever she wanted. Under the influence of Wu Zetian, Shangguan Waner had her own sweetheart, which is why she was regarded as "promiscuous" by some historians and only committed adultery with Wu Sansi.
Shangguan Wan'er
? It can be seen that they all dare to attack secular ideas and break through all kinds of constraints on women. It is precisely because of this that those strong women headed by Wu Zetian are often regarded as "feminists" by modern people. There is no denying that strong women like Wu Zetian and Shangguan Waner did win a lot of applause and attracted a lot of criticism. Their merits and demerits have always been criticized, and it is difficult to unify them.
? Second, both of them are experts and experts in arbitrary power and politics. Needless to say, Wu Zetian has been working until the highest position of the queen, and her power has also expanded to the highest level. As for Shangguan Waner, she is Wu Zetian's personal secretary, and she has accomplished the task assigned by Wu Zetian well, which won Wu Zetian's appreciation. Shangguan Waner is as exquisite as Wu Zetian. She not only followed Wu Zetian's success all the time, but also was reused by Tang Zhongzong and Li Xian after Wu Zetian's death. And after her death, she easily joined hands with Princess Taiping to engage in politics, and then got rid of Queen Wei and her daughter Princess Anle. It's a pity that she capsized in the gutter. After getting rid of Wei, she refused to recognize her defense and killed her directly.
? Of course, judging from the newly discovered epitaph of Shangguan Waner on 20 13, Shangguan Waner was not Wei Hou's accomplice. Li Longji was determined to kill her only because he didn't want her to continue to manipulate power, because this is Li Tang's world after all, and how women make decisions is always a problem! To put it bluntly, the Li Tang family can no longer let Shangguan Waner, a strong woman, monopolize power. After all, Shangguan Waner is a victim of political struggle. Judging from the newly discovered epitaph, Shangguan Waner was quickly rehabilitated and buried again. Li Longji's father, Tang Ruizong, restored her "Zhao Rong" status. After Li Longji proclaimed himself emperor, she specially invited people to collect, sort out and compile her poems, which is of course a gesture.
Hou Wei
? Having said that, I want to say a few more words. Due to the rise of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, "women's rights" really prevailed for a period of time. Under the influence of Wu Zetian, besides Shangguan Waner, others were also called "Little Wu Zetian". For example, Empress Wei, the daughter-in-law of Wu Zetian, is as ambitious as Wu Zetian and wants to follow her example as emperor. She even poisoned Tang Zhongzong herself, but after poisoning, she secretly refused to send out mourning and wrote a letter to herself to determine the candidate for the new emperor. In the end, a coup was launched to get rid of Wei.
? There is also a girl named "Little Wu Zetian", who is the concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and is called "Wu Huifei". She is the granddaughter of Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian is her great-aunt. The reason why she is called "Little Wu Zetian" is mainly based on two reasons: First, Wu Huifei is said to be the granddaughter of Wu Zetian because she is a Wu family; Secondly, Wu Huifei's calculation, skill and style of doing things are quite similar to those of her aunt Wu Zetian. This is not much to say.
Wu Huifei
? Of course, these people are not the only ones who can be called "Little Wu Zetian" in history. All powerful women like Wu Zetian, who are intelligent, powerful and interventionist, seem to call it that. This seems to be synonymous with a certain kind of people.
