Born into a noble family
Shangguan Waner is a descendant of Shangguan Jie, Shangguan 'an and Shangguan in the Western Han Dynasty. She is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shangguan Yi, and her great-grandfather Shangguan Hong was the supervisor of Jiangdu Palace in Sui Dynasty. Her great-grandfather Shangguan Xianguan was the magistrate of Youzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
In 664 AD (the first year of Linde), Shangguan Yi was killed by Wu Zetian for drafting the imperial edict to abolish Wu Zetian for Emperor Gaozong. The newborn Shangguan Waner and her mother Zheng Shitong were assigned to the court. During the period when Ye Ting was a slave, under the careful training of her mother, Shangguan Waner was familiar with poetry books, and she was not only able to recite poems and write articles, but also knowledgeable and intelligent.
The queen's favor
In 677 AD (the second year of Yifeng), Wu Zetian summoned Shangguan Waner, who was only fourteen years old, to give an examination on the spot. Shangguan Waner's words were written in an instant, without any points, and they were fluent in meaning, flowery in words and beautiful in language, which really seemed to be formed by rewelding. Wu Zetian saw the great joy and immediately ordered him to be exempted from his handmaiden status and put him in charge of the imperial edict of the palace.
The epitaph lists him as a thirteen-year-old gifted scholar, which may be a title given by Wu Zetian in order to get rid of the handmaiden status.
Later, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor and ordered people with many hands to be called "housekeepers". Soon, Shangguan Waner was sentenced to death for violating her will, but Wu Zetian spared her literary talent and gave her Amnesty, which was just a slap in the face. In the future, Shangguan Waner served meticulously and catered to Qu Yi, which won the favor of Wu Zetian.
Since 696 (the first year of AD) (from Jinglong's "Wenguanji" and "Old Tang Book" as sacred calendar years), it has been given the power to handle the performance of Baihui and participate in government affairs.
Become Zhao Rong.
In 705 AD (the first year of Shenlong), ministers such as Zhang Jian, who supported the imperial clan of Li Tang, staged a Shenlong coup, and Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate. After the Dragon Coup, Tang Zhongzong was restored, and Shangguan Waner was responsible for drafting letters, which won the trust. She was also honored as Mrs. Zheng, her mother.
Shangguan Waner also had many contacts with Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle, and repeatedly persuaded Wei Ruyun to tell the story of Wu Zetian. Therefore, Wei Ruyun asked people all over the country to mourn the mother who was abandoned by her father for three years. He also asked people all over the world to be adults at the age of 23, to be exempted from labor in 59 years, and to adopt a new system to collect people's hearts. Li Xian agreed.
Shangguan Waner recommended Wu Sansi to Wei Ruyun and took Wu Sansi into the palace. Therefore, Li Xian began to discuss politics with Wu Sansi, while Zhang Jianzhi and others were restrained by Wu Sansi. Soon, Wu Sansi relied on the support of Queen Wei and Princess Anle to design and demote five kings, including Zhang Jianzhi, Huan, Jinghui, Yuan and Cui Xuanyong. Shangguan Waner had an affair with her, and she often praised Wu Shi and suppressed the royal family in imperial edicts, which made Prince Li Zhongjun very angry.
In July of 707 (the first year of Jinglong), Li Zhongjun and Li Duozuo, the general of Zuo Yulin, ordered more than 300 people to arise, killed Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun in their mansion, and punished pro-Party 10 people. They also led troops to cut through the Su Zhangmen, knocking on the cabinet door and searching for Shangguan Waner. Shangguan Waner hurriedly fled to Li Xian and Wei Ruyun, and threatened: "The idea of Guanzi is to kill Shangguan Waner first, and then arrest the queen and your majesty in turn." Li Xian and a moment of great anger, took Shangguan Waner and Princess Anle to the Xuanwu Gate to avoid soldiers, and made General Liu of Right Feather Lin fly in front of Taiji Hall with more than 2,000 people, and stayed at home. Li Zhongjun was defeated and killed.
However, according to the epitaph, Shangguan Waner had remonstrated with Zhongzong four times and opposed the establishment of Princess Anle as the imperial concubine. From exposure, to resignation, to a haircut, she didn't get Tang Zhongzong's permission, and finally she remonstrated with her death. After drinking the poison, the doctor got emergency treatment to save his life.
Lead the style of writing
Shangguan Waner won the trust of Wei and devoted herself to internal affairs. Her grandfather's case was also rehabilitated. Shangguan Yi posthumously awarded the secretariat, the governor and the king of Chu, while Shangguan Tingzhi posthumously awarded the assistant minister of Huangmen, the secretariat and the king of Tianshui.
Since then, Shangguan Waner often persuaded Li Xian to set up a large number of bachelor's degrees in Zhaowen Museum, widely known as the minister of Ci studies in the current dynasty, and hosted banquets for entertainment many times, and wrote poems and sang songs. Every time he replaced Li Xian, Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle at the same time, and made several poems, which were beautiful and were sung by people at that time. For poems written by ministers, Li Xian asked her to evaluate them, and the first one was often awarded to Jin Jue, which was priceless. As a result, both inside and outside the imperial court, poetry and fu became a common practice. Shangguan Waner loves books and has collected more than 10,000 volumes, all of which are aromatherapy. A hundred years later, his books are scattered among the people, still fragrant and moth-free.
After his mother Zheng died, she was sworn in by posthumous title. Wan'er was demoted to Jieyu as a sign of mourning and soon recovered.
Li Xian sent someone to chisel stones at the pond where Shangguan Waner lived. The carving was extremely poor, and he often invited ministers to feast. At that time, the palace was forbidden and spacious, allowing palace officials to enter and leave at will. Shangguan Waner bought a mansion with some palace officials, and often made contacts with them, and some people got high positions as a result. Cui Shu, assistant minister of Zhongshu, was admitted as a relative after having an affair with Shangguan Waner. Soon, when Cui Kun presided over the civil service election, he was often violated. He was impeached by Li Shang and deported for his crimes. It was also because of Shangguan Waner and Princess Anle that she was reinstated.
The coup was stifled.
In 7 10 (the fourth year of Jinglong), Princess Taiping became stronger and stronger, and Shangguan Waner was attached to Princess Taiping. In June, she died suddenly. Empress Wei arranged all the political posts, internal and external military forces and the power of the central imperial army for her followers and people, and all the political power fell into Wei's hands. Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping drafted the testamentary edict, and made it crown prince, Li Dan as assistant minister, and Empress Wei as regent, in order to balance the forces of all parties. However, the prime ministers Zong Chuke and Wei Wen changed the imperial edict and advised Wei to follow the example of Wu Zetian.
Li Longji, the king of Linzi, discussed with Princess Taiping and decided to strike first. In July of 2 1 year, Li Longji launched a rebellion in Tang Long, and court officers and soldiers broke into houses, killing Wei Ruyun, Princess Anle and Wei Ruyun, and establishing his father Li Dan. Shangguan Waner greeted the imperial secretary with a candle, and showed Liu Youqiu the testamentary edict drawn up by her and Princess Taiping, proving that she stood with Li Tang's imperial clan. Liu Youqiu begged Li Longji for mercy with a testament, but Li Longji refused to let her kill Shangguan Waner. He was buried in Hongdu Hospital, Maodao Township, Xianyang County, Yongzhou. Princess Taiping was very sad. She sent someone to pay for a memorial service and paid 500 silks.
7 1 1 (Jing Yun two years) In July, it was renamed Zhao Ronghui, posthumous title. However, according to the epitaph unearthed in September of 20 13, it can be confirmed that Shangguan Waner was buried in August of the first year of Tang Jingyun, and the cover of his epitaph has been engraved with the inscription of Shangguan Shi, the deceased of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it can be confirmed that Shangguan Waner recovered her title shortly after her death, that is, when she was buried, not in July of Jing Yun two years after her death as recorded in historical records.
In the early years of Kaiyuan, Li Longji sent someone to collect the poems of Shangguan Waner, and compiled them into 20 volumes as Zhang Shuoxu. However, according to the preface of Zhang Wei's Collected Works of Tang Shangguan Shi and the contents of the epitaph, it should be compiled by Princess Taiping. In this collection of poems, The Whole Tang Poetry only contains 32 poems.
