Why did Wu Zetian kill his daughter but let Cheng Yanjin go?

In Cheng Yanjin's eyes, whoever is the emperor is the same, it is all the Li family's own family affairs. Moreover, although Wu Zetian is a woman, he has helped Li Xian govern the country many times, and his political talent can be seen at a glance. It is precisely because of this that Wu Zetian did not deliberately target him.

Cheng Yanjin is a very smart person. Moreover, Cheng Yanjin has fought so many battles, and he has a very high status in the hearts of the people, if Wu Zetian kills Cheng Yanjin, the world will definitely be very dissatisfied with Wu Zetian.

Behind Cheng Biting Jin is the love of the people, Wu Zetian did not dare to kill Cheng Biting Jin, not only that, Wu Zetian also respectfully treated Cheng Biting Jin. Because Wu Zetian knew that she had to have someone to rely on in the court, and Cheng Yanjin was the best candidate.

He is very modest and cautious, does not easily make enemies with anyone, and does not openly disobey Wu Zetian's orders. So even if Wu Zetian wanted to harm him, he couldn't find a sufficient excuse.

Killing one's daughter is definitely a means, in order to obtain some greater benefits, the process of biting gold is also, it is a decision after weighing interests.

Because this is thanks to Cheng Biting Jin himself, he knew what to say and what not to say in this coup, so in Wu Zetian's view, he was not a threat, so he was able to survive this coup.

Because Cheng Yanjin's heart is very low-key, and he will never be publicized, he also has his own opinions, and he will not help anyone, so he will let it go.

Because Cheng Biting Jin would not pose a threat to Wu Zetian's status, and Cheng Biting Jin's military ability was particularly strong, he let Cheng Biting Jin go.

is because Cheng Yanjin is a very low-key person. And Cheng Yanjin's prestige in the army is still very great. Therefore, Wu Zetian was very good to Cheng Biting Jin in the end.

I think it's because of the general trend, Wu Zetian at that time really couldn't move Cheng Biting Jin Cheng Biting Jin had a really high social status at that time, and Wu Zetian still had a lot of things that could use Cheng Biting Jin.

Because Cheng Biting Jin didn't have any big threat or harm to him, he let him go in the end.

He is low-key and unassuming. Don't look at the low range because he is a general. In his early years, Cheng Yanjin had been living in society for a period of time, and his long-term life taught him to learn to do things in a low-key manner, no matter how much credit he had.

Because Wu Zetian felt that Cheng Yanjin had no brains and couldn't pose a big threat, he wanted Cheng Yanjin to be a target for him.

The other party is very aware of current affairs, and when Wu Zetian was about to take office, he chose to retreat bravely, so he was not implicated.

Wu Zetian has nothing to do with Cheng Biting Jin, but Wu Zetian let go of the process Biting Jin because Cheng Biting Jin has high emotional intelligence and no political ambitions. Such a person is not a threat to Wu Zetian at all, and he can help her, so Wu Zetian naturally will not kill Cheng Yanjin.

First, Cheng Biting Gold has high emotional intelligence

Cheng Yanjin's family background was not good since he was a child, and he didn't read much. But he is very sophisticated, and when he followed Li Shimin in his early years, Li Shimin wanted to compete for the crown prince, or Li Shimin wanted the throneCheng Yanjin stood decisively in front of Li Shimin and solved problems for Li Shimin.

Second, Cheng Biting Jin has no political ambitions

A big reason why Wu Zetian will let go of the process of biting gold is that Cheng Biting Jin has no political ambitions, and he has never worked hard to manage such things as fighting for power, and to put it bluntly, he is not interested. As a simple example, take the brothers of Wagangzhai to recommend him as the emperor, and he also sat for a few days and then asked them to choose another person.

There is also Cheng Yanjin who followed Li Shimin to fight the world, his qualifications are very old, if Wu Zetian moves him casually, it is estimated that it will cause civil strife, and seriously cause mutiny, you must know that Cheng Yanjin's reputation in the army is very high. Wu Zetian was unwilling to be the enemy of Cheng Yanjin when he had a choice, after all, it was unacceptable for Wu Zetian to bring a series of consequences.

Because Cheng Biting Jin later pretended to be dead and escaped a catastrophe, and Wu Zetian felt that Cheng Biting Jin was too old to make a big move.

Because Cheng Yanjin has never opposed Wu Zetian, there is no need to kill him.

Cheng Yanjin is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and Cheng Yanjin is already very old.

Because Wu Zetian felt that Cheng was old. There is no power to bring yourself down.

Because Wu Zetian felt that Cheng Biting Jin couldn't threaten her, she didn't clean up Cheng Biting Jin.

**After watching too much, I still dizzy from the TV series, when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Lao Cheng had been dead for decades, playing the piano indiscriminately!
