Shangguan Waner lives in an era of unpredictable political situation. In the era of Wu Zetian, he was able to participate in approving the memorial and drafting government decrees, which was the political core of Wu Zhou Dynasty. After the restoration of Li Xian, Guan Waner's political ability was badly needed, and he was trusted by him, so he was worshipped as Zhao Rong by Zhongzong.
Zhao Rong is one of nine concubines. At that time, she was second only to the queen in the harem. Since then, Wan'er, the Flash, has been in charge of the decrees and proclamations of the imperial court and the foreign court as an imperial concubine, and her political status is incomparable to that of Wu Zetian.
Although Shangguan Waner, with her intelligence, juggled with the major political forces of Wu, Wei and Li, and took this opportunity to master the state power, she was only a person after all, just a small one. She has no strength of her own, just like a rootless ping, and can only cope in the stormy court.
In May of 7 10, Zhongzong died suddenly, which made Shangguan Waner feel the crisis. Hou Wei wanted to monopolize the power and let Shangguan's sister draft the testament. On the one hand, 16-year-old Li Zhongmao was the emperor, on the other hand, Wei Hou assisted the government, just like Wu Zetian. But because the coup in Li Zhongjun gave her enough warning, she chose to contact Princess Taiping.
Deeply influenced by the royal crisis, Princess Taiping and King Linzi jointly launched the "Tang Long Political Revolution" to destroy Wei and help Li Dan ascend to the throne. However, in this coup, poor Shangguan Waner was beheaded by Li Longji.
Why did Shangguan Waner die? Why did Li Longji kill her?
In fact, the main reason is that Shangguan Waner is vacillating politically. Caught in the whirlpool of political struggle in Tang Ting, she has never supported anyone. It seems that she is speculating, but this kind of speculation is not good, and she is in a more important position. She is involved in government affairs and court secrets. Under the influence of various forces, she tried to make ends meet, but inadvertently, she offended a strongman like Li Longji.
But Shangguan Waner is just a woman. Her talent is in Kyushu, but her strength can't shake the country. There is no powerful family behind her to rely on, and there is no absolute power to rely on politically. Even if she is among the major forces, she will not laugh and laugh.
Life is in a hurry, saying that it is not long, saying that it is not short, and you will know the cloud after it. Some people say that she pursues power, but from the moment Wu Zetian took a fancy to power, her life was inseparable from power. Power is a good thing, but when you want to give up, you may not get away with it.
Is Shangguan Waner tired of juggling among various forces? Maybe she gave up her plan, but the problem is that there is no way out. In this game of power struggle, her position is crucial, but it is also crucial. Not critical, so to speak, not critical. After all, she has no strength to support this position, so Li Longji can easily slay her without any hidden trouble.
But it is for this reason that she retired, so no one wants to liquidate her. So she can't return it, she can only guess. You can only choose again and again, trying to clear the fog and choose which one has the best chance of winning. As a result, she chose the right one. The problem is that she is still dead.
Li Longji killed her because of her vacillating political attitude, but the so-called "vacillation" is deeply rooted in the fact that the relationship between Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping is stronger than that with Li Longji, and "vacillation" has become an uncertain factor in Li Longji's future power struggle. Therefore, it is not surprising to kill a strongman like Li Longji.
After the political reform in the Tang Dynasty, with the restoration of Zong Rui, there is bound to be a political struggle between Princess Taiping and Li Longji. Li Longji is going to win this struggle, and if the influential Shangguan Waner is not dead, he is more likely to choose to support Princess Taiping's camp. This person is quite old, too close, and she is a woman.
For Li Longji, the threat coefficient of Princess Taiping with more Shangguan Waner soared, and he didn't want to see it, so he had to wait for death.
