The broadcast of "The Secret History of Wu Zetian" made this "China's only female emperor" a topical lady again.

In fact, Wu Zetian is a rare virtuous emperor in Chinese history. However, because she was not properly appointed to the throne, her "hen crow" and her promiscuous harem made everyone think that Wu Zetian was "not a good emperor." "Things", so that her governance ability, historical contribution, and integrity have been greatly underestimated.

Some of the scenes in "The Secret History of Wu Zetian" are almost pornographic, and many places are too outrageous. The director's understanding of historical facts is also biased, which has attracted criticism from netizens.

For example, the death of He Lanmin, "the most beautiful man in Chang'an", was understood in "The Secret History of Wu Zetian" as a revenge for his mother, Mrs. Han, who fell into a contest with Wu Zetian, and then indulged himself and suffered the consequences. .

Readers, think about it, what qualifications and abilities does Helan Minzhi have to challenge Wu Zetian? He is looking for death, and it is too late to hide.

He Lanmin's death was indeed directly related to his mother and sister, or it could be said that it was their mother and daughter who laid the foundation.

This mother and daughter both became the mistresses of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's direct love rivals, which was the fundamental reason why He Lan Minzhi "death".

In addition to this reason, there is also a secret that even Wu Zetian cannot reveal.

What exactly is the unspeakable secret? Let’s talk about it later, let’s talk about Helan Minzhi’s mother and sister first.

Helan Minzhi’s mother, Mrs. Korea, and Wu Zetian are biological sisters.

Both Wu Zetian and Mrs. Korea were born to the older "leftover daughter" Yang who was married by the warrior Tong Xu. The Yang family gave birth to three beautiful girls. The "eldest girl" was Mrs. Korea. Scholars have identified her as Wu Yuanying; Wu Zetian was the "Second Girl", some scholars have identified her as Wu Yuanhua; some scholars have identified the "Third Girl" as Wu Yuanfang. She died early after marriage, and there are not many records in history books.

After Wu Zetian rose to prominence and became the favorite concubine and empress of Tang Gaozong from a talented person of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, the whole family of the Wu family benefited. The Yang family was first named "Mrs. Daiguo", and then She was awarded the title of "Mrs. Rongguo"; the "eldest girl" Wu Yuanying was awarded the title of "Mrs. Korea."

Mrs. Korea had a pair of children. In addition to her son Helan Minzhi, she also had a daughter Helan Nazhi, who was later granted the title "Mrs. Korea". As the "Mrs. Wei"

Although she had a pair of children and was beautiful, the married life of the Korean lady was not happy. Her husband, Helan Yueshiyanfu, died prematurely. The Korean lady became a widow at a young age

The Korean lady played in "The Secret History of Wu Zetian"

Wu Zetian was very concerned about her widowed sister and often called the Korean lady into the palace to chat. To relieve the pain of being a widow.

After frequent visits to the harem, something unexpected happened. The lustful Li Zhi fell in love with this charming widow.

Some scholars have speculated that the Korean lady became pregnant after sleeping with Li Zhi and gave birth to a boy. This boy was Wu Zetian's second son Li Xian.

This speculation is quite consistent. Reason: How ugly is this when a widow is pregnant? In order to avoid public scandal, Wu Zetian took the initiative to accept the child born to her sister, pretending that she had given birth prematurely.

For this reason. , Li Xian was later killed by Wu Zetian.

But soon, Mrs. Korea died inexplicably.

According to the analysis of Mrs. Korea’s sleep with Li Zhi, her death was confirmed. It is probably Wu Zetian's murderous hand.

Some people may be confused. Since even the pregnancy can help cover up the ugly, why did Wu Zetian get rid of her sister? It turns out that the existence of the Korean lady affected her in the harem? status.

While Gaozong was doting on the Korean lady, he actually made a fuss about changing the queen. At that time, the "edict to abolish the empress" was drafted.

Although the abolition of the empress was a matter of course. Farce, the matter passed quickly, and the woman Gaozong wanted to marry has not been announced, but Wu Zetian believed that the matter should be related to the Korean lady, and that's why he killed his sister.

Old cows prefer to eat young grass, and old men like little girls.

After the death of the Korean lady, I don’t know whether it was because he could not remember his old love for the Korean lady, or because he was too lustful, and Gaozong fell in love with the Korean lady again. His daughter Helan, who was only a teenager at the time, accepted it.

Some people believe that this was arranged by the Korean lady before she died, intending for her daughter to seduce the current emperor.

Of course, there is no sufficient evidence for this analysis, but whether the Korean lady intended to direct or Li Zhi was too dissolute, after losing his old lover, Li Zhi quickly fell in love with his old lover's daughter - Little Lover Helan Nazhi is a fact.

Li Zhi suddenly gave Helan Nazhi all his "three thousand favors". He made his little lover happy in everything, and planned several times to turn her into an open concubine and seal her as a concubine. "Mrs. Wei".

Just like his mother, Helan Nazhi had an affair with her second aunt's husband, and the "young and old couple" enjoyed a unique taste of sex in their affair.

Women are the most sensitive to this kind of thing. Wu Zetian has long been aware of it, but she did not "catch her aunt and niece on the spot", did not pierce the window paper, and turned a blind eye. Pretending not to know.

This move is what makes Wu Zetian so smart. In fact, even if he catches her, it will be useless. Instead, it may annoy Li Zhi. The emperor has the privilege of having sex with any woman.

There is no sand in her eyes, especially Wu Zetian, who has a strong desire to control.

What should you do if you face the threat of your little love rival? Wu Zetian used the old tricks - get rid of them and then quickly! The method of causing a car accident was unlikely at the time, but Wu Zetian still used a trick commonly used in ancient assassinations - poisoning.

The opportunity finally came. After being enshrined in Mount Tai, his cousins ??Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun presented Wu Zetian with special snacks from their hometown to please Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian sent someone to call her aunt and niece to taste them together.

Helan Nazhi was really too naive in love. She didn't know it was a trick, but she thought her second aunt was really good to her.

As a result, before he could finish eating the poisoned food, he started to bleed from his orifices and died on the spot.

Wu Zetian naturally put the blame on the two cousins ??she had hated for a long time and executed them decisively. Their descendants were also disqualified from being named "Wu" and changed their surname to "议".

After getting rid of his sister, Mrs. Korea, and his aunt and niece, Mrs. Wei Guo, the most dangerous love rival disappeared.

Is Wu Zetian at ease? No.

Why? The weeds have not yet been eradicated, but Helan Minzhi is still there.

Wu Zetian actually liked He Lan Minzhi wholeheartedly and had high hopes for him at first.

According to the "New Book of Tang", Wu Zetian once regarded He Lan Minzhi as the heir of the Wu family, deliberately cultivated him, gave him a surname of "Wu", and allowed him to inherit the title.

But after the deaths of Mrs. Korea and Mrs. Wei, Wu Zetian also became suspicious of Helan Minzhi. She was very worried that Helan Minzhi would resent her. Mother and son are connected, brother and sister.

After Helan Nazhi's violent death, there was one person who was more sad than Helan Minzhi. He was Emperor Li Zhi.

Li Zhi asked Helan Minzhi what was going on, but Helan Minzhi just cried but did not answer.

After hearing the palace officials’ report on He Lan Minzhi’s performance, Wu Zetian thought, “This son doubts me.”

After that, Wu Zetian suddenly changed his attitude towards Helan Minzhi - even if Helan Minzhi did not take revenge now, staying here might be a disaster in the future - letting Helan Minzhi die became a necessity for Wu Zetian Something to consider!

Wu Zetian wanted to kill Helan Minzhi, but there was also a family scandal that she could not tell.

Helan Minzhi, played in "The Secret History of Wu Zetian"

Helan Minzhi's conduct is seriously inappropriate. He is the kind of man with a "simple mind and well-developed genitals". He actually had an affair with himself The 80-90-year-old grandmother, Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, committed adultery.

This is what the "New Book of Tang Dynasty·Biography of Wife's Wife" calls, "Watching the Rongguo".

It can be said that this is a major hidden reason why Wu Zetian wanted to kill He Lan Minzhi.

The grandson and the grandmother had an affair, and there was such a disparity in age. This was not only the first incident in the Tang Dynasty, but also unique in Chinese history. It is disgusting! Some scholars find it difficult to accept this, and even suspect that historians' records are wrong, because in terms of age, this kind of sexual intercourse goes against common sense of human physiology.

Yang died at the age of 92, and Helan Minzhi was killed at the age of 29. Add or subtract the two. When He Lanmin was able to do that kind of thing, Yang was nearly 80 years old. At this time, Yang Can you have this kind of sexual need? However, there are exceptions to everything. How old was the Nobel Prize winner Yang Zhenning when he married the 28-year-old girl Weng Fan? 82 years old.

No matter what the truth about He Lanmin's "***" is, whether it is true or false, Yang's love for this handsome grandson should not be false.

Because of the favor of the Yang family, He Lanmin behaved very hooliganally and was extremely daring. In the end, he even dared to rape the fiancée of the current prince.

At that time, the daughter of Si Wei Shaoqing Yang Sijian had been selected as the crown princess and the wedding date had been set. He Lan Minzhi saw that the daughter was very beautiful, so he arbitrarily forced her to marry him Go to bed.

Also, when Wu Zetian's daughter Princess Taiping came to see her grandmother Yang, He Lanmin saw that the girls accompanying her were attractive, so he also managed to rape her.

It is impossible for these bad things not to reach Wu Zetian's ears.

The public reason for Wu Zetian’s dissatisfaction with Helan Minzhi, or the direct reason for Helan Minzhi’s “seeking death”, was Helan Minzhi’s unfilial piety and greed for money.

After Mrs. Rongguo died, before the mourning period expired, He Lan Minzhi took off his mourning clothes and started "playing music" for entertainment.

Wu Zetian had a deep affection for her mother. After the death of Mrs. Rong Guo, she took out a batch of gold and silver treasures to build a Buddhist temple for her mother. However, after this money came into the hands of Helan Minzhi, He actually took it for himself.

Under this circumstance, Wu Zetian severely punished the "most handsome man in Chang'an" and sent him to Leizhou.

He Lan Minzhi finally died on the road to exile, but there are different accounts of how he died.

"New Book of Tang" states that He Lanmin's family "died on the road", that is, he hanged himself halfway.

This statement is unreasonable. Someone was escorting him at the time. Even if He Lan Minzhi wanted to commit suicide, could he succeed? A credible theory is that Helan Minzhi was strangled to death by people sent by Wu Zetian with a horse rein.

Perhaps Wu Zetian has long wanted to kill this damn aunt and nephew!
