"Liu Ze" Wu Zetian skillfully used cruel officials to integrate courtiers and consolidate centralization.

If Wu Zetian had only terrible evil spirits, she would never set up her own empty career, and she would never continue this career for many years. She may be as short-lived as Qin Ershi and die of natural causes. But this is not the case.

Wu Zetian not only killed people, but also won people's hearts. She obviously grasped the huge rudder of politics rhythmically and made it sail in the established direction.

The use and abandonment of cruel officials is an important chess game played by Wu Zetian.

Since the abolition of the mutiny of Zhongzong and Xu Jingye, Wu Zetian knew that the imperial secretary was not satisfied with herself, so she decided to kill her and establish her majesty. This extreme behavior is beyond the ability of a gentleman in any case and can only be carried out by cruel officials who have lost their humanity. In order to find and promote cruel officials, Wu Zetian launched a bottom-up movement. First of all, she opened the door to informers and ordered courtiers not to ask as long as there were informers. They want to provide the fastest post horse at that time, and feed it as a five-product official, so that they can have a pleasant journey. Wu Zetian also emphasized that in order to break the boundary between the rich and the poor, even if the informant is a farmer or a woodcutter, Wu Zetian will personally summon him and arrange for the informant to stay in a high-end hotel. If what the informant said is in line with Wu Zetian's wishes, this person will be reused immediately. If what the informer said is fictitious, Wu Zetian will not pursue it. Undoubtedly, this is the greatest encouragement for speculative whistleblowers, so whistleblowers emerge from all directions. Among these people, four judges are speculative.

In the semi-final, Suo Yuanli discovered Wu Zetian's intention, became a guerrilla general, and was ordered to investigate the case. Suo Yuanli is cruel. His greatest skill is that he can spread the crime of one person to hundreds of people. Wu Zetian appreciated it very much and personally accepted and rewarded it many times, which expanded Suo Yuanli's authority.

Zhou Xing, a native of Chang 'an, also became an assistant minister of Qiu Guan because of snitching.

Chen is the most famous of the four famous people. He organized hundreds of villains and did nothing but tell stories. They don't discover the facts first, then reveal them, but identify the object first. Whether he committed a crime or not, they scrambled to fabricate the crime and reported it to several relevant court authorities. These major crimes like "counter-revolution" forced the receiving organ to report it. Therefore, when a person is identified as the object of these people, whether they are innocent or not, they are doomed to failure.

Wan, a native of Luoyang, is also a famous official. What? He helped the military attache compile thousands of words of Luo Zhi, and raised the skill of informer to a theoretical level. After weaving, they poisoned it? As a textbook, we trained party member and taught them that "the network is innocent, reverse woven, structured, orderly and branched."

Every time Wu Zetian tried to cheat people, she gave the job to the judge. Suo Yuanli and others quickly interrogated prisoners and made calm laws. There are many names in Cool Law, such as "Dial a hundred pulses", "Suddenly yell at the ground", "Worried about a dead pig", "Looking for a broken home", "Opposing reality" and so on. They also gave flattering names to many tortures in a very abnormal way. For example, "Phoenix Roast Wings" is to tie the defendant's hands and feet to the rafters and then twist his limbs like a rope; The so-called "immortal offering fruit" means that the defendant kneels naked on the gravel head, and his hands must hold the heavy shackles high; The so-called "climbing the ladder by yourself" is to rush the defendant to a very high wood with a cangue, and then let people pull the cangue tail with a rope. If the defendant refuses to confess, he will be dragged to suffocation or dragged to the ground to kill him. There is a lot of this kind of torture, so once an official falls into the hands of a cruel official, no matter whether he is guilty or not, he can't survive.

Wu Zetian used these brutal officials to engage in terrorist politics. Said: "Chinese and foreign people are more afraid of these people than tigers and wolves." And "the queen mother loves loyalty."

The most rampant time for cruel officials was before Wu Zetian became emperor. After Wu Zetian was honored as the "Holy Emperor", in order to win people's hearts and stabilize them, she began to kill cruel officials to protect the world.

Zhou Xing was the first target to be killed. Wu Zetian sent someone to the trial. Lai Junchen knows Zhou Xing very well, but he doesn't intend to intercede for Zhou Xing at all. After receiving the order from Wu Zetian, I had a meal with Zhou Xing casually. During the dinner, Lai Junchen asked Zhou Xing, "If a prisoner is stubborn and refuses to admit rebellion, what methods will you use to deal with him?" Zhou Xing replied with a mouthful of alcohol: "It's not easy? Take a big urn and burn it with charcoal. Then let the prisoner into the urn. In this case, what will he not admit? " Zhou Xing said that he was very proud. Lai Junchen didn't say anything at that time, but arranged a big urn baked with charcoal fire according to Zhou Xing's statement. Then he said, "Someone accused your brother of colluding with Taiwan Province Province. Please ask your brother to enter this urn! " This is the origin of the famous allusion "Please enter the urn" in history. Zhou Xing ran rampant for a long time, but as soon as Lai Junchen said this, he immediately kowtowed and confessed. Lai Junchen immediately declared this a capital crime. Wu Zetian still left a little affection for this "domestic dog" and sent it to Lingnan. Zhou Xing was killed by the enemy on the way because of his evil deeds.

Suo Yuanli was the second victim. Is he? Wu Zetian is a red man, but Wu Zetian only keeps him as a "mad dog". Because Suo Yuanli is the most cruel and has offended countless people. Wu Zetian killed it to comfort people.

Wan was also executed. The reason is that he killed more than 300 Lingnan people and caused others to kill 1000 innocent people, which led to the expansion of the situation. Wu Zetian stepped forward, became an angry good man, sent the families of the exiled deceased back, beheaded thousands of people, in order to alleviate the public's anger.

The last of the "four villains" is Lai Junchen? Be executed. He is full of evil, and even Wu Zetian's family, King Wu and Princess Taiping are afraid of it. Finally, he was sentenced to death. Wu Zetian wanted to forgive him, but his cronies around him said, "Jun Chen didn't marry, framed good deeds, paid bribes like a mountain, was blocked by ghosts, and became a thief for the country. Why pity him! " Wu Zetian finally made up her mind to cut it. On the day Jun Chen was killed, "the enemy fought for Jun Chen's body, and he had to do everything he could. His eyes were peeled off and his stomach turned into mud. " From this, Wu Zetian knew that Lai Junchen hated everyone in the world. Once again, she took this opportunity to win the hearts of the people, personally reprimanded the crimes committed by the incoming officers, and said: "It is best to punish the red race, and the anger of snow can make the French nation homeless." Will come to the home of the monarch and his subjects and be beheaded.

As mentioned above, Wu Zetian adopted a two-sided approach to cruel officials. When necessary, you can fight for it; We can use them flexibly when we don't need them, turn these man-eating wolves into scapegoats, and let them end their sinful lives and work for the Wu regime again.

Four cruel officials all died at the hands of their master, which further shows the cleverness and cruelty of Wu Zetian. She beautified herself and imposed unfair, false and wrong cases she planned on these people.

In September of the first year of Shen Gong, Wu Zetian had such a dialogue with his courtiers:

The queen mother said that the courtiers said, "Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen went to prison and even led many courtiers to show their rebellion; State-owned common law, I dare to violate it! In the middle, I doubt this is true. I can ask the prison and get the hand shape. This is self-reliance. I don't doubt it. I haven't heard of my opponent since the death of Xinghexing, but aren't all old friends evil?

The assistant minister rushed to him and said, "I have been sitting among the dead since the memorial archway was hung up." I'm glad to wait for Luo Zhi. I think I have made great achievements. Your majesty asked me, I don't protect myself. How dare you shake it! If the questioner turns over, if he is afraid of being poisoned, he will not die soon. Lai Tianqi's sacred heart, Xing et al. I guarantee your majesty with a hundred arguments. Up to now, domestic and foreign ministers have not replied; If there is a slight fact, I will know all the crimes I want, but I won't tell you. "

The queen mother said happily, "The Prime Minister came back from the dead and everything went well, but I was caught in bed;" Wen's words are from the heart. "

As a result, Wu Zetian easily got rid of herself, and ministers also blamed all the sins on the dead officials. The mystery of history lies in its vagaries. In our opinion, Wu Zetian is undoubtedly the great devil who robbed the Li family. However, at that time, Wu Zetian became a queen under the aura of "sacredness".

Wu Zetian wants to be a female emperor, which is a once-in-a-lifetime initiative, far beyond the imagination of the world.

How does the world accept it? This must be a question that Wu Zetian must think about.

In the feudal dynasty, the appearance of early women in the secular world was unacceptable, let alone the emergence of a female emperor who ruled all ethnic groups.

In any case, this is an idea that the world simply cannot accept. For everyone, this idea must be as absurd as watching the sun at night. Wu Zetian wants to turn absurdity into reality. In addition to using harsh officials and playing politics, this extraordinary measure must be supported by supernatural theories.

China's feudal culture has the richest "apotheosis" soil. Rulers and people seem to be willing to deify a person and make everyone follow him, so the supreme autocratic emperor appeared. The religious beliefs of ancient people in China were far less than those of western countries, but they had the highest respect and superstition for the deified emperor. In order to achieve their own goals, Wu Zetian and his followers firmly grasped the subconscious mind deposited in the hearts of the masses and brought the theory of "creating God" to the extreme.

In the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian's nephew secretly chose a special white stone and engraved a sentence on it: "Madam is close to the people and Yongchang is the emperor." Then Tang Tongtai, a native of Yongzhou, was ordered to take him to court, claiming that he got it by accident in Luoshui. Wu Zetian was overjoyed and named this stone "Baotu Stone" and promoted Tang Tongtai as a guerrilla general. Then, she made a big fuss about it, wrote a letter to visit Luoshui, and accepted the "treasure map". When she died in the southern suburbs, she called the ministers to the imperial court and ordered the governors, the secretariat, the imperial clan and the consorts of all States to gather 10 days before the date of Baylor. Because "Notre Dame is close to the people, Yongchang is an act of God", ministers all added the title of "Wu Zetian" as "Notre Dame Jade Emperor" and set up three seals of the Jade Emperor.

More than a month later, the Virgin Jade Emperor celebrated with the people, pardoned the world, renamed the "treasure map" as "Tiansheng map", renamed Luoshui as Yongchang Luoshui, made the god of Luoshui a saint, and prohibited the people from fishing and offering sacrifices to the soil in Luoshui. The origin of the famous map is the "Holy Soil Spring" located in Yongchang County. After such a series of propaganda and actions, people all over the world know the "treasure map" and remember the words carved on the stone.

When Wu Zetian paid tribute to the map, the emperor and the Crown Prince followed closely, and civil and military officials and barbarian leaders at home and abroad expressed their opinions. In front of the altar are rare birds and animals and various treasures. Cultural relics are in full bloom and the scene is spectacular, which has never been seen since the rejuvenation of the country in the Tang Dynasty.

Since then, Wu Zetian has been grandly promoted to the altar.

In the same year, Wu Zetian destroyed Gan Yuan Temple, ordered the monk Huaiyi to preside over it, and built a temple in the former site of Gan Yuan Temple. This project cost a lot of money, hired thousands of people and was completed by the end of the year. The hall is 294 feet high and covers an area of 300 square feet. It has three floors. Known as the golden valley of Vientiane.

In the first month of the first year of Yongchang, Wu Zetian's ministers went to Jingu Temple in Vientiane to grant amnesty to the world. 165438+ 10 In October, Wu Zetian promulgated the new word 12 created by Qin Ke. The queen mother changed her name from Shao to imperial edict.

In July of the first year of longevity, Faming monk in the Eastern Wei Dynasty wrote four volumes of Zi Zhi Tong Jian, saying that Wu Zetian was the lower bound of Maitreya and should be the master of Jambu-Di^pa, not the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian ordered the book to be published all over the world.

This series of activities were hosted by Wu Zetian's cronies behind the scenes. While observing the reaction of the ruling and opposition parties, Wu Zetian increased the propaganda of "God's will". After a long period of brewing, the time is finally ripe.

In September of the first year of Tianshou, more than 900 people in Guanzhong lacked entertainment. Please change Zhou to be emperor and Wu to be emperor. Wu Zetian refused hypocrisy and promoted Fu Youyi instead. Of course, this is a hint. As a result, more than 60,000 people, including officials, emperors, people near and far, leaders of the Four Righteousnesses, leaders of Shamian and Taoists, imitated Fu Youyi's behavior and demanded that Wu Zetian be renamed. Even the emperor himself should mention himself? I want to change my mother's surname to Wu.

It is said that when more than 60,000 people asked Wu Zetian to be emperor, an abnormal phenomenon appeared. I saw the Phoenix fly into the Shang Yang Palace from Tang Ming. Before flying southeast, I stood on the buttonwood tree on the left platform for a long time. Then, hundreds of cardinals flew from the east and flew back to Tang, followed by another yellowbird.

These anomalies are very special. Ministers thought it was a signal from heaven. The appearance of the phoenix is the luck of the female emperor. However, Datang belongs to the Land Bureau, and the soil color is still yellow. Now the yellowbird follows the cardinals, which obviously symbolizes that the butcher will follow the fire. The will of God is inviolable, and the Marquis of Wu Can no longer refuses.

In this way, Wu Zetian was very excited, but she pretended to be reluctant. After many refusals, she finally accepted the requests of the emperor and ministers.

She chose the Double Ninth Festival of 1999 as an auspicious day for her accession to the throne. She ruled Tianlu and pardoned the whole world. She changed the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, became the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and was called the Holy Emperor. The original emperor was appointed as the heir to the throne and was named Wu. With what? Dedicated to the Crown Prince as the grandson of the emperor.

In the first month of the second year of longevity, Wu Zetian was sealed in Vientiane Shrine, and the flag was still red. She changed her name to and formally established Wuqi Temple, which is a symbol of the royal family.

After 40 years of hard work and three or four years of intense activities, 67-year-old Wu Zetian finally realized her dream and sat high on the throne of the god admired by all. She also took part in her own movement to create God. After being truly "deified", she must also feel that this is indeed an act of God. She went from deceiving others to deceiving herself and falling into it.

After living for two years, Wu Zetian was given the title of "Golden Wheel Saint Emperor".

After living for three years, Wu Zetian accepted the title of "Ancient Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor" reported by Wang and others.

In the first month of the first year, the title of "Yue Gu Jin Lun Sheng Di" was added; In February, I went to talk about "cishi is more ancient"; In September, the title of "Heavenly Book, Golden Wheel and Holy Spirit Emperor" was added. In the same year, Wu Sansi, another nephew of Wu Zetian, made a Shu Tian made of copper and iron, with a height of 150 feet and a diameter of 12 feet.

In the first year of Ce Tian, also known as the first year of longevity, Wu Zetian went to Songshan to worship Zen and pay homage to heaven and earth; In the same year, Xin Ming Temple was built, with a height of 294 feet, and it was named "Tongtian Palace".

Long live two years, build Jiuding, and seize more than 567,000 Jin of copper.

.

To sum up, Wu Zetian's behavior is extreme and crazy. Such an arrogant person must go through a painful blow to since the enlightenment.
