Luo Binwang’s Promulgation of Wu Zhao


  "Call for Xu Jingye to fight against Wu"
  King Luo Bin
   Those who pretend to be the Wu family in the imperial court are not docile in nature and the land is poor. When Emperor Taizong went to Chen, he changed his clothes and served as his servant. It's almost late in the festival, and the erotic palace is in chaos. Hiding the secrets of the late emperor, plotting against the queen's lover. Jealousy is seen at the beginning, and the eyebrows are not willing to let others; the work of hiding one's sleeves is slander, and the charm can confuse the master. After Jian Yuan was in Huizhai, he trapped my king in Ju. If you have a lizard as your heart, you will become a wolf by nature. If you are close to someone, you will be evil and eccentric, and you will harm your loyal and good people. Killing your sister and killing your brother, regicide and killing your mother. Gods and men are jealous of each other, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. Still hiding evil intentions and stealing divine weapons. The king's beloved son is kept in a quiet palace; the thieves' clan alliance entrusts him with important responsibilities. Whoop! If Huo Zimengzhi does not do anything, Zhu Xuhou will be dead. The swallow pecked the emperor's grandson, knowing that Han Zuo was about to die. Empress Long Li was aware of Xia Ting's sudden decline.
  The dedicated and dedicated old minister of the Tang Dynasty, Gonghou Zhongzi. In honor of the late Emperor's success, I owe this dynasty's kindness. The joys and sorrows of Song Weizi are good; Yuan Junshan's tears are in vain! It is to use the angry wind and cloud to secure the country. Because of the disappointment in the world, Shunyu Nei's encouragement. Love raises the flag of righteousness to purge evildoers.
  It connects Baiyue to the south and three rivers to the north; there are groups of iron cavalry, connected by jade shafts. The red millet in Hailing, the accumulation of storage is exhausted; the yellow flag in Jiangpu, how far can it be restored! The sound of the class sounds and the north wind rises, the sword energy rushes and the south fights for peace. Silence makes the mountains collapse, shouting makes the situation change. If you use this to control the enemy, why not destroy it? If you use this to achieve success, why can't you fail?
  The public class may live in the Han area, or cooperate with Zhou relatives; The words are still in my ears, but my loyalty never forgets my heart. If a handful of soil is not dry, how can you support a six-foot-long solitude? If you can turn misfortune into blessing, send it to your official residence, and jointly establish the honor of being a diligent king, without abolishing the order of the great king, all the nobles will reward you, and they will point to the mountains and rivers together. If he is attached to a poor city, wanders on the wrong road, and is ignorant of the past, it is a sign that he will be punished later. Look at who owns the world in today’s realm!
  [Author’s Biography] King Luo Bin (about 640-? ), a native of Yiwu, Wuzhou (now Yiwu County, Zhejiang Province). Precocious and intelligent, he could compose poems at the age of seven and was known as a "child prodigy". In his early years, he studied with his father in the Qilu area. He was determined and famous for his poetry and prose. He was as famous as Wang Bo, Yang Jiong and Lu Zhaolin, the famous scribes at that time. He once served in the shogunate of Taoist king Li Yuanqing, and later served as the governor of Wugong and Chang'an counties. During this period, he went to the Western Regions with the army and traveled to Sichuan and Yunnan as an official. During the Yonghui period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he served as a censor. He was convicted and imprisoned for writing a letter about political affairs, and was demoted to Linhai County Prime Minister. He abandoned his official position in frustration. In the first year of Guangzhai (684), Wu Zetian claimed power, and Li Jingye launched an army against Wu in Yangzhou (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). He joined Li Jingye's staff and specialized in writing letters to the army. After the failure of the martial arts challenge, his whereabouts are unknown. Some say he drowned and died, while others say he became a monk in Lingyin Temple.
  Wang Luo Bin had no talent and was in a state of poverty, but he was quite successful in his poems. He is good at five-character poems, and is particularly good at seven-character poems. Among them, there are many excellent works that convey interest and directly express his feelings. All these established his status as one of the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty".
  The poems and essays of King Luo Bin were collected and compiled as early as the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, and only more than a hundred poems remain. There are many names for his collection of poems and essays. In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Yinglin named it "Linhai Collection". "Luo Linhai Collection" annotated by Chen Xi of Qing Dynasty and Jin Dynasty is the most complete.
  [Explanation] King Luo Bin was not only famous for his poetry, but also for his majestic articles. This piece, "The Legend of Li Jingye", is his representative work.
   In the first year of Guangzhai (684), Wu Zetian deposed Zhongzong Li Xian who had just ascended the throne, and established Li Dan as emperor. She was planning to further ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor, and established In the Zhou Dynasty, this aroused the anger of some ministers and nobles who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Li Jingye, the heir and grandson of the founding father of the Republic of China, British Duke Li Ji, took the late Prince Li Xian as his call, raised troops in Yangzhou, established Kuangfu Mansion, and appointed himself general of Kuangfu Mansion and governor of Yangzhou. King Luo Bin was recruited into the shogunate as an art and literature order. All the military messages were written by him. This article was written at this time.
  This statement was stern and preemptive, placing Wu Zetian on the dock and listing her crimes. This was used to declare to the world and raise troops together, which played a great role in propaganda and agitation. According to the "New Book of Tang Dynasty", when Wu Zetian first read this article, he was still laughing and laughing. When he read the sentence "A handful of soil is not dry, six feet of it is alone", she was surprised and asked who wrote it, and sighed : "It is the prime minister's fault to have such a talented person fall into ruin!" ” It can be seen that this slogan has strong inciting power.
  This article is also called "Chao Wu Zhao Xi", but Wu Zetian named himself "Zhao" after Empress Wu became emperor in the fifth year of Guangzhai. It can be seen that it was changed by later generations, and this title is still used today.

  [Translation]
  The Wu family who illegally controlled the government was not a gentle and kind person, and he was of humble origin. She was originally the concubine of Emperor Taizong, and she was able to serve him because of the opportunity to change her clothes. Later, regardless of ethics, he had an ambiguous relationship with the prince (Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty). She concealed the late emperor's favor towards her and sought to gain a special favor position in the palace. She was jealous of all the beautiful concubines and concubines she selected into the palace, and she spared no one; she was good at showing off her coquettishness, and charmed the emperor like a vixen. Finally, wearing a gorgeous dress, she ascended the throne of the queen and pushed the king into the ugly state of incest. Coupled with a heart like a poisonous snake, he is cruel by nature, gets close to traitors, harms loyal people, kills brothers and sisters, murders kings, and poisons his mother. Such people are hated by gods and mortals, and are not tolerated by heaven and earth. She also harbored evil intentions and plotted to seize the throne. The emperor's beloved son was imprisoned in the cold palace; but her relatives and members were appointed to important positions. Alas! Loyal ministers like Huo Guang never appeared again; powerful clans like Liu Zhang also disappeared. The appearance of the ballad "Swallows peck at the emperor's grandson" made people know that the Han Dynasty's imperial line was about to be exhausted; the saliva of evil dragons flowing in the emperor's palace marked the imminent decline of the Xiahou dynasty.
  I, Li Jingye, am an old minister of the Tang Dynasty. I am the eldest son of a prince and nobleman. I follow the instructions left by the late emperor and bear the generous grace of this dynasty. Weizi of Song Dynasty had his own reasons for mourning the destruction of his homeland; Huan Tan shed tears for losing his title and honor, was it unreasonable? Therefore, I got up angrily and started a career, with the purpose of stabilizing the country of the Tang Dynasty. Following the disappointment of the world and the wishes of the whole country, he held high the flag of justice and vowed to eliminate the monsters that harmed people. From remote Baiyue in the south to Sanhe in the Central Plains in the north, there are groups of cavalry and chariots connected together. There is so much corn in Hailing that it ferments and turns red, and the storage in the warehouse is endless; with flags flying on the banks of the river, will the great achievement of recovering the Tang Dynasty still be far away? The war horses neighed in the north wind, and the energy of the sword rushed towards the stars in the sky. The roar of the warriors caused the mountains to collapse and the sky to change color. Use this to deal with the enemy, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated; use this to attack the city, there is no city that cannot be captured!
  You may be knighted by the country for generations, or you may be in-laws of the royal family, or you may be generals with important responsibilities, or you may be ministers who accepted the orders of the late emperor. The late Emperor's words seem to still be in my ears. How can you forget your loyalty? The soil on the late emperor's tomb has not yet dried, but our young master has been demoted to who knows where! If we can turn the current disaster into a blessing, properly send off the dead old master and serve the current emperor, and jointly establish meritorious deeds to save the royal family, without abandoning the last emperor's will, then the various titles and rewards will be like Mount Tai. The Yellow River is so strong and long-lasting. If you are obsessed with your current vested interests, hesitate at critical moments, and fail to see the signs in advance, you will definitely be severely punished.
  Please understand who owns the world today. This proclamation was promulgated to all states and counties for everyone to know.

Why did Wu Zetian become emperor?


Why did Wu Zetian become emperor?


Wu Zetian ascended the throne as emperor when she was six or seven years old and was the only orthodox female emperor in Chinese history. So, why did Wu Zetian proclaim himself emperor?

First of all, it is recorded in the "Old Tang Book: The Biography of Emperor Gaozu" that the era before Wu Zetian was an era of liberal women's rights, which provided objective conditions for Wu Zetian to become emperor.


Women at that time did not have the concept of "chastity". Emperor Gaozu's favorite concubines Zhang Jieyu and Yin De had an incestuous relationship with Prince Jiancheng and Prince Yuanji of Qi. After Li Shimin killed his younger brother Li Yuanji, he included Li Yuanji's concubine Yang into his harem. As for Wu Zetian, she was Li Shimin's talent. Before Li Shimin's death, she had already had an affair with the prince Li Zhi. After Li Shimin's death, Wu Zetian was first accepted by Li Zhi as his Zhaoyi, and then became the empress of the Tang Dynasty.


Secondly, when Wu Zetian was still the queen, there was already a "female emperor" among the people - Chen Shuozhen, which hit the arrogant Wu Zetian hard. Chen Shuozhen was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but has been living a life of poverty. When local officials were corrupt and perverted the law, regardless of the lives of the people, and the central government was busy fighting for power and profit, she united with the people to rise up and proclaimed herself emperor. She was deeply loved by the local people. He supported and was called "Emperor Wenjia". However, Chen Shuozhen was not an orthodox female emperor, and therefore was ignored by historians.


In the end, Wu Zetian's claim to emperor was not only related to her own ambition and arrogance, but also forced by reality. At that time, the court was in chaos, and she was the only one who could take charge. She had to stand up and stabilize the court. This is the direct reason why Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor.


Why did Wu Zetian change her country's name when she proclaimed herself emperor?


In the history of China, there are many country names, just like when Wu Zetian was Empress Li Zhi, the country name was Tang, which represented the ownership of the world. After Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, he changed the name of the country to Zhou. But why did Wu Zetian proclaim her emperor and change the name of her country to Zhou instead of using the name of Tang?

The Zhou Dynasty existed as early as the pre-Qin period. In Chinese history, the Shang Dynasty was followed by the Zhou Dynasty. The creator of "Huaxia" was the Zhou Dynasty, which was also the original reference of "Huaxia". The entire Zhou Dynasty experienced a total of thirty generations and thirty-seven emperors. However, the exact year of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty has never been confirmed, and therefore it is impossible to determine how long the Zhou Dynasty existed in history.


The Zhou Dynasty was the third and last hereditary slavery dynasty in Chinese history. It is divided into Western Zhou Dynasty and Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Western Zhou Dynasty was founded by Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was the so-called Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was divided into two periods: the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After that, King Qin Yingzheng ended the situation of division and separatism and established a centralized state, which was the Qin Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty also perished.


After the Qin Dynasty, it went through the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty was founded by Li Yuan. After so many dynasties, Wu Zetian became emperor but changed the name of the country to the Zhou Dynasty. It seems a little unreasonable. However, in fact, this has its roots.


According to historical records, the Wu family was derived from the surname Ji, and the name of the country was changed to Zhou, which meant that Zhou was respected and showed his roots. In addition, for people at that time, the Zhou and Han dynasties could be called the peaceful and prosperous times. Wu Zetian changed the name of the country to Zhou in order to show his statecraft and political ambitions of inheriting Zhou's rule. If Wu Zetian's identity as a woman is coupled with her identity as a descendant of King Zhou, it will create a perfect political background for her, which will reduce many obstacles.


How old was Wu Zetian when she proclaimed herself emperor?


After Li Zhi became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian first became Li Zhi's Zhaoyi and then became Li Zhi's queen. After Li Zhi died, he became emperor. So how old was Wu Zetian when she proclaimed herself emperor?

Wu Zetian was born in 624 AD. When she was fourteen years old, she was recruited into the palace by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and became a fifth-level talent, giving her the title "Wu Mei". But Wu Zetian was not favored by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and remained a talented person for twelve years. When Tang Taizong was seriously ill, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi fell in love. After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian and her childless concubines entered the Ganye Temple in Chang'an to become nuns.


In 650 AD, on the anniversary of the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi went to Ganye Temple to visit his hometown and met Wu Zetian. In 651 AD, Queen Wang, who fell out of favor because she had no children, knew that Li Zhi liked Wu Zetian, so she took the initiative to request Li Zhi to bring Wu Zetian into the palace. Li Zhi, who was interested, immediately agreed. In 652 AD, Wu Zetian entered the palace again and became Li Zhi's Zhaoyi, and later became Li Zhi's queen.


In October 660 AD, Li Zhi suffered from a stroke and could no longer handle state affairs, so he asked Wu Zetian to handle the affairs of the state. After that, the "Two Saints came to the court". In 667 AD, Li Zhi was ill for a long time and ordered Prince Li Hong to supervise the country. In 675 AD, Li Zhi's condition became more serious. Li Hong died of illness and Li Xian was made the crown prince, but he was later deposed for treason. Later Li Xian became the prince. In December 683 AD, Li Zhi died and Li Xian ascended the throne. After that, people began to say that "Wu Zetian was the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha who descended to earth and should be the master of the world."


In 690 AD, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, changed the country's name to Zhou, and established the Zhou Wu Dynasty. This year, Wu Zetian was 67 years old.
