I rely on talking to brush the copy

【Another year, the second year of Tianshou.

Shaoyao has gradually gotten used to her dog life.

There is nothing wrong with being reborn as a dog. Anyway, Shaoyao was a worthless person when she was a human, but now she is a dog, but she is well-dressed and well-cared for.

Such a beautiful day is like a dream, the only bad thing is that her master is His Majesty the Emperor Wu, who indirectly caused her death.

She does not hate His Majesty.

How could she hate His Majesty?

She did something wrong.

The Queen became His Majesty, who is a god and a natural law. He is definitely not a person that lowly people like them can talk about. She was killed because of her improper words, which is not unfair at all.

But although she does not hate His Majesty, she is afraid and respectful of His Majesty.

Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Now she has been reincarnated as a beast, a beast that is more likely to die than humans. She cherished her dog life again.

So she was particularly clever and sensible. Although she couldn't speak, she tried her best to please His Majesty, and finally won some favor from His Majesty. Her status in the palace also rose. Some eunuchs and palace maids privately called her "Imperial Dog Lord."

Unexpectedly, she became an adult after being reincarnated as a dog, which made her particularly novel and happy.

...

In June, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Shaoyao was so hot that she could only follow her instincts and breathe out with her tongue sticking out.

His Majesty couldn't rest in such hot weather.

She had endless memorials to review and endless state affairs to deal with every day. Although Shangguan Lord, the inner servant, helped to deal with government affairs, she was still too busy to do anything.

Shaoyao saw it and felt amazed. No wonder only the emperor could be the emperor. Such hard work is impossible for ordinary people.

That day, His Majesty dismissed everyone, hugged her, and was in a trance silently, as if thinking about something.

Shaoyao has also gotten used to it.

For His Majesty, this kind of solitude is a rare leisure time for relaxation. All Shaoyao can do is to keep quiet and not disturb His Majesty's peace.

"The whole world is my enemy, they all want to pull me down." His Majesty grabbed her hair. Shaoyao didn't dare to say anything despite the pain, and quietly listened to His Majesty's secret words that he couldn't tell others: "So I want them to know where my destiny is."

"...It seems that we can only make a deal with the Buddhist sect."

Shaoyao blinked in ignorance and didn't understand what His Majesty was saying.

After saying this, His Majesty left in a hurry. That night, the meeting hall was brightly lit, and His Majesty stayed overnight.

Then it was July.

When His Majesty was away, Shaoyao slipped out of the bedroom and went out to relax.

After becoming a dog, her hearing became much more sensitive, and she could hear the private conversations of many palace people.

When she passed by a palace by chance, she vaguely heard the whispers of the palace servants in the house: "Have you heard that a few days ago, a monk presented the "Dayun Sutra", and the sutra said that your majesty is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha!"

"No wonder your majesty can be the emperor, it turns out that Maitreya Buddha came to the world to save the people."

"What does the sutra say?"

"How should I know? But your majesty has set up the Dayun Temple in the two capitals and various states, and ordered monks to explain the sutras. If you are curious, you can go and listen to it another day."

Peony's body suddenly stiffened.

For some reason, the whisper of your majesty that day suddenly appeared in her mind.

"I want to let them know where my destiny is."

"...It seems that I can only make a deal with the Buddhist sect."

Is this a "deal"? 】

Liu Yinxiu said categorically: This is a "deal"!

As a knowledgeable later generation, Liu Yinxiu certainly saw through Wu Zetian's operation at a glance - creating a god.

She packaged herself as a god walking in the world, deified herself, and thus gained the worship and faith of the people and consolidated her position.

Many religions operated in this way in the early stages of development.

Although there is nothing new, it is almost enough to fool the lower-class people.

After all, Wu Zetian was a woman who was an emperor, and her position was unstable. It was understandable that she wanted to use the power of religion to legitimize her rule. This was also the skill that a mature ancient politician should have.

At this point, Liu Yinxiu was completely interested in Wu Zetian. This first empress in the history really had some skills.

[…

His Majesty was angry.

Just now, a palace maid was dragged down and beaten with a board because she walked a little loudly.

Shaoyao hid under the bed and trembled, not daring to come out.

She was afraid that she would become a punching bag.

His Majesty was very happy yesterday.

Because the Tubo leader led the tribe to request to submit, His Majesty was very happy, and specially sent General Zhang to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to welcome him. He was also very pleased with her in private.

"The Tubo people admire the majesty of the emperor and surrendered with their entire tribe. This is an unprecedented achievement and will surely go down in history." His Majesty looked up at the time and said with high spirits: "Although I am a woman, how can I not be as good as the late emperor in terms of civil and military strategies?"

But in just one day, everything changed.

His Majesty was furious, and the palace was silent.

His Majesty walked around in the empty palace and roared in a low voice: "It's them! They regard me as an enemy and even colluded with foreign countries to leak information. They don't want me to accumulate merits!"

Shaoyao was full of doubts, but she could only pray that His Majesty would never think of her. She didn't want to be a punching bag.

...

A few days later, Shaoyao heard from several guards that somehow the news of Tubo's reliance on her had leaked out, and people in Tubo knew about it, so they forced the leader Hesu back to the country, and the surrender naturally failed.

She suddenly realized.

Is Your Majesty suspicious that someone in the country had tipped off the enemy, leading to the failure of the surrender?

The rage that day seemed to be just an illusion. His Majesty soon became the emperor who did not distinguish between joy and anger. In addition, the leader of the Qiang tribe later joined the tribe, and his Majesty's mood improved a lot.

Shaoyao slowly put the matter behind her.

However, she forgot, but His Majesty did not forget.

In September of the first year of Changshou, His Majesty sent troops to the northwest to attack Tibet and recover the four Anxi towns of Qiuci, Shule, Khotan, and Suiye.

When the news of the victory came, Shaoyao was snuggled up against His Majesty's legs and dozing off, when His Majesty suddenly burst into laughter.

"Okay!" His Majesty's eyes were so hot that they seemed to be burning with fire. "Now, let's see who dares to disobey me."

His Majesty quickly summoned the ministers to see him, told them the news of the victory, and announced his decision: to increase the number of 30,000 troops in the four towns of Anxi. This decision caused an uproar. All ministers opposed the decision and advised His Majesty to change his mind and stop wasting money and people.

His Majesty went his own way, firmly rejected the opinions of his ministers, insisted on his own opinion, and ordered more troops.

When there was no one in private, His Majesty held her in his arms and sneered again and again: "They underestimated me, and I will show them that although I am a woman, I am as tough and fierce as a man! I will use this battle to scare the monkeys and set an example." Show your dignity so that they don’t dare to do anything disobedient!”]

Roland's eyes were bright, and he looked at Wu Zetian with admiration.

As a beauty-controller, she used to dislike the Queen's old age, but now she has to admit that her charm has nothing to do with her age! The Queen is so handsome! She was almost bent!

She also understood why the Queen was so tough, because people looked down on women nowadays. If the Queen was not tougher and crueler, not to mention the domestic backlash, even foreign countries might treat the Queen as a soft persimmon and attack her!

Therefore, the Queen beat them hard this time so that they would never dare to offend Long Wei again. At the same time, she also beat some people in the country for their attempts.

[In the first month of the second year of Changshou, the palace maid Tuan'er reported to His Majesty that Prince Li Dan's concubine Liu and his concubine Dou practiced witchcraft and cursed Your Majesty.

Tuan'er is lying.

Shaoyao knew that His Majesty also knew that Tuan'er was lying.

But she decided to believe it.

Recently, Prince Li Dan has been refusing to listen to his little tricks in private. His Majesty has already reached the end of his tolerance and wants to teach him a lesson to make him more docile. Tuan'er's trap was exactly what His Majesty wanted.

...Did His Majesty instruct Tuan'er to frame Tuan'er?

In the past, Shaoyao would never have had such rebellious thoughts. But after she witnessed one conspiracy after another and became more and more aware of His Majesty's character, she couldn't help but make such associations.

Your Majesty killed the two concubines and conferred the title of prince on the prince's sons.

The prince had a night meeting with two ministers. When His Majesty learned about it, he had the two adults beheaded in the city. Then someone informed His Majesty that the Prince was plotting something evil.

When His Majesty heard the news, his face was calm, as if he had expected it.

But when no one was around, there was a flash of sadness in his eyes, "Heavenly family..."

This sorrow comes and goes as quickly as it comes. Soon her eyes returned to their normal calmness. She summoned her confidant Junchen and asked him to interrogate the people around the prince.

Shaoyao knew about Lai Junchen's evil reputation. He had a cruel temperament and was good at extracting confessions. He was very trusted by His Majesty. Now the people around the prince would definitely say that the prince wanted to rebel.

…

A few days later, a seriously injured man was carried into the palace, and his Majesty sent someone to treat him.

The next day, His Majesty ordered Lai Junchen to stop the interrogation, and the prince was safe and sound.

Shaoyao knew what was happening.

The news has already spread throughout the palace.

The seriously injured person was An Jinzang, a worker of Taichang Temple and someone close to the prince. When Junchen came for interrogation this time, he used a knife to cut his chest, exposing his heart and liver to show his innocence.

When word of such a righteous deed spread, ministers and palace officials praised An Jinzang's heroic spirit and sympathized with the prince. Even among the people, there were some rumors.

His Majesty said to An Jinzang: "I don't believe that my son's behavior has caused you to suffer this serious crime." There seemed to be regret in his words.

But privately, His Majesty disliked the prince and began to plan to establish another prince.

Shaoyao knows that His Majesty is the king.

King, suspicious.

Therefore, His Majesty re-appoints ruthless officials, selects officials from the common people, and encourages whistleblowers.

In this world, no one can be trusted, she only believes in herself. 】

In just a few minutes, a party and government conspiracy in the court had twists and turns, and it was so thrilling that Luo Bao was hooked.

It seems that being the first female emperor throughout the ages is not easy. When she does something that no one has done before, she has to face challenges and conspiracies that no one has done before.

The storm seemed to have subsided, but Luo Bao could sense that beneath the calm lake, a bigger storm was brewing.

【……

When she learned that Xue Huaiyi burned down the heaven and the hall because of his disgrace, His Majesty was correcting the memorial. When she heard the report from the palace servants, she nodded casually and said, "He is quite brave."

"Let Wu Youning come to see me."

Xue Huaiyi was the first person to meet His Majesty. Although it was rumored that Your Majesty favored him, only Shaoyao, who was by her side day and night, knew how much Xue Huaiyi was in His Majesty's heart.

That's a thing.

Her Majesty used him to prove her authority as emperor. The male emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and the female emperor has three thousand faces. Isn’t it normal?

The only redeeming feature of Xue Huaiyi is his loyalty.

It was he who found the Great Cloud Sutra and presented it to His Majesty.

But now he is resentful, and it seems that he has lost his loyalty.

So His Majesty said to Lord Wu lightly: "Go and kill him, and then send his ashes to the White Horse Temple to build a pagoda."

In October of the same year, the Turks sent envoys to surrender, and two months later, His Majesty was enthroned in Songshan and changed the reign to Wansui Dengfeng. 】

Liu Yinxiu felt that he seemed to have accompanied the empress through the last glorious life in this short period of more than an hour.

The legendary empress's reign had ups and downs, glory, honor, lows, embarrassment, and desolation.

Liu Yinxiu watched the rebellions in various places, Wu Zetian was exhausted from dealing with them, and the army was defeated again and again; he saw her spending her energy to deal with various forces and trying her best to consolidate her authority; he saw her using cruel officials and gathering party members, but when no one was around, she showed fear and helplessness on her face.

Seeing the end, Liu Yinxiu had long forgotten his dissatisfaction with Wu Zetian at the beginning, and began to admire and sympathize with her sincerely.

She never fought against one or two people.

She was fighting against the whole world.

She was fighting against the rules and traditions of the patriarchal society for thousands of years.

How insignificant is the power of an individual?

Even if she was the emperor, she was rich and powerful, but she was still too weak.

Because although she conquered the world, it would eventually return to the hands of Li Tang.

She was 67 years old when she ascended the throne.

It was impossible for her to have another child. It was impossible for her to have another child of her own.

Her heirs all had the blood of Li Tang and naturally had the support of the people.

Her nephew had ulterior motives and was not worth using.

In the end, she could only choose to surrender and accept her fate.

She made Li Xian the crown prince.

Later, she fell ill.

She was 82 years old and no longer young.

As soon as this powerful lioness showed signs of fatigue, the young lion with full wings immediately took advantage of the opportunity, showed his fangs, and launched a coup.

Crown Prince Li Xian launched a coup, led his army to surround Wu Zetian's bedroom, and forced her to abdicate.

Wu Zetian, who lost the throne, aged rapidly.

Power was the foundation of her life, her blood and her soul.

A man should not live without power for a day, no matter what.

She did not wear makeup, and she had no intention of dressing up. The palace maids around her were all the confidants of the new emperor, and the only confidant was just an old dog.

Shaoyao is now old. She accompanied the first female emperor in history, walked through the last glory of her life, and then calmly welcomed the final ending.

Even if she did not have a good end.

[On November 26, the first year of Shenlong (December 16, 705), the first generation of empress Wu Zhao passed away. Before her death, she left a will, giving up the title of emperor, and asked future generations to call her the Great Saint Empress Zetian.

Shaoyao did not cry when his majesty died, but when she heard the eunuch reading the will, she burst into tears.

Her majesty...

Later, there was another coup, and Shangguan died. It is said that he shouted his majesty before his death.

Later, Shaoyao fell ill and was about to die.

Before she died, she heard from the palace maids that the new emperor and the ministers had not discussed how to engrave the words on the tombstone of Empress Zetian, so there was always a blank tombstone in front of Qianling.

A blank tombstone...

If your majesty were still alive, he would not care.

She had done so many unprecedented and probably unparalleled things in her life. It didn't matter whether the history books criticized, praised or scolded her in the future.

She just wanted to be a good emperor.

She did it.

So, the stone tablet has no words, but history has its name. 】

The movie ended, Liu Yinxiu was silent for a moment, took off his helmet, and heard warm applause echoing in the auditorium.

The brother and sister sitting on the right cried, but still clapped their hands.

Even Liu Yinxiu himself had some tears in his eyes. Director Shi made another good movie.

After watching "The Queen's Dog", he himself seemed to be captured by the charm of the empress and was willing to be her running dog.

How could he not be afraid of such a woman? How could he not love her?
