Yuan Tiangang calculated that Wu Zetian usurped the throne, why didn t Li Shimin kill her directly?

Although Yuan Tiangang is a famous warlock in history and has successfully predicted many things, his prediction is not particularly accurate, but he only said that there is a Wu clan to usurp the throne, and he does not specify that it is Wu Zetian. In addition, Li Chunfeng told Li Shimin,After the Wu clan usurped the throne, it would still protect the Tang Dynasty, and if the Wu clan was killed, then the Tang Dynasty might perish directly. Under the trade-off, Li Shimin did not kill the Wu family.

1. Yuan Tiangang's prediction is not accurate

Although Yuan Tiangang is a famous warlock, and his "Tui Bei Tu" has also been passed down to this day, and he can deduce many things that will be developed, but his deduction results are not necessarily accurateWhen someone misleads, Yuan Tiangang's estimation will be biased.

To use a simple analogy, this is the same as when you do math problems, although you are a top student, you can only calculate the answer from the existing conditions. If the conditions are wrong, then the result will be wrong.

Wu Zetian's mother - Yang).

When Wu Zetian was young, Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian's mother Yang, and asserted that Yang would definitely give birth to a noble son, so Yang took out Wu Zetian who was wearing **, Yuan Tiangang was shocked when he saw it, and said: "Dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, unreachable!" However, Yuan Tiangang was disappointed and said that if this was a girl, it would be the material of the Son of Heaven, but it was a pity that it was a man.

Obviously, under Yang's concealment, Yuan Tiangang did not make an absolutely correct judgment, and Wu Zetian saved his life.

Second, the fifth lady made a substitute for the dead ghost

Later, Yuan Tiangang observed the celestial phenomena and deduced that "Li Tang has three generations, and Wu has replaced Tang", that is to say, after the Tang Dynasty has passed on for three generations, there will be a "Wu family" to replace Li Tang. After this prophecy reached Li Shimin's ears, Li Shimin immediately sent people to find this Wu clan in order to ensure that his country would not be seized by a foreign surname.

"Unjust head" Li Junxian).

It just so happened that Li Junxian, the "wronged boss", appeared in front of Li Shimin's eyeshimThe name carries "Junxian (the emperor is envious)", born in Wu'an County, the title is Wulian County Gong, the place of work is still Xuanwumen, and even the milk name is "Five (Wu) Niangzi".。There were so many coincidences that Li Shimin had to believe it, and immediately charged him with a crime and sent him to see the king of Hades.

3. Li Chunfeng leaked the heavenly secret

After getting rid of Li Junxian, Li Shimin was still not at ease, he asked the Taoist priest Li Chunfeng for advice, can he kill all the people related to the "Wu Clan"? Li Chunfeng said: "The order of heaven cannot be disobeyed by man."

In other words, this is a predestined ending from God, and we can't change it.

Later, Li Chunfeng added that although the Wu clan killed the royal descendants and replaced Li Tang, the Wu clan would still protect the Tang Dynasty's 300-year national ancestor. If the Wu clan is really killed, then the consequences will be even more serious, and the Tang Dynasty may directly lose the country, this is a heavenly opportunity.

After listening to the words of Taoist priest Li Chunfeng, Li Shimin weighed the pros and cons, and reluctantly gave up the idea of killing the Wu family, and Wu Zetian also saved his life, and finally replaced Li Tang and became the first orthodox female emperor in history.

Because Li Shimin didn't know that it was Wu Zetian, who would have thought that a woman could actually be an emperor at that time.

Because Li Shimin felt that Wu Zetian was very beautiful, he was reluctant to kill her.

To be honest, Li Shimin didn't know that she really wanted to usurp the throne at that time, and he also thought that Yuan Tiangang was just a ** in the rivers and lakes.

At that time, Li Shimin thought that Yuan Tiangang might be a Jianghu **, which was not credible.

Because his power became bigger and bigger in the later period, he became more and more rampant, and he used Wu Zetian's trust to create the snake spirit organization to oppose Wu Zetian's cholera dynasty, which made the people frightened, so he wanted to kill him.

After all, Yan Tiangang leaked the heavenly machine. And Wu Zetian disagreed with some of his words because of imperial power. So wanted to kill him.

Yuan Tiangang predicted that she would be the emperor when Wu Zetian was a child, and Wu Zetian would kill him in his later years, and if he didn't kill Wu Zetian, he would be in danger.

Yuan Tiangang, there is indeed a person in history, because there are records of this person in both old and new Tangshan, but the length is not large. It is recorded in the "New Tang Dynasty Book" that the intersection between Yuan Tiangang and Wu Zetian is mainly that Yuan Tiangang showed Wu Zetian his appearance and said that Wu Zetian "regarded him as the Son of Heaven", so as to show that Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy was accurate. Personally, I am deeply skeptical of this account.

First of all, Wu Zetian is the second daughter of the Governor of Jingzhou, that is to say, Wu Zetian is the son of an official eunuch, and his father holds military power, if Yuan Tiangang says in front of everyone that Wu Zetian "is the Son of Heaven", it is equivalent to saying that Wu Zetian's father will definitely rebel, after all, people think about the problem in advance, and it will not be as accurate as afterwards, or based on "logic", only the father who holds military power rebels can make his child become the Son of Heaven, so Yuan Tiangang only needs to say it in front of everyone, Wu Zetian should be the Son of Heaven, That is tantamount to telling the whole world that the samurai tong who holds military power will definitely rebel, and the imperial court will naturally deal with the samurai tong. Let's analyze this logic slowly.

1. "New Tang Dynasty Book" believes that Yuan Tiangang's appearance is extremely accurate, and he was already well-known in the world at that time, and was received by Li Shimin. If this is the truth, it is obvious that Yuan Tiangang's words carry extremely heavy weight, and even if he is false, many people will think that what he said is the truth. 2, any ** has enemies, after all, officialdom is like a battlefield, as long as you are an official, you will inevitably offend people, as the governor of Jingzhou, it is obvious that there will be many enemies, and Yuan Tiangang's words of "as the Son of Heaven" will definitely become the target of the enemy's report, and Li Shimin believes in Yuan Tiangang's remarks, so he does not dare to say that he will kill Wu Shi Tong directly, at least it will make Wu Shi Tong enter a state of idleness, after all, the emperor's attitude towards rebellion is generally to recognize and believe in it, not to believe in it, so it is inevitable that Wu Shi Tong is framed.

3, since Wu Shitong has lost his power, Wu Zetian will not enter the palace at the age of 14 at all, let alone become a talented person of Li Shimin, after all, Li Shimin is also a generation of heroes.

Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that the so-called prophecy of Yuan Tiangang in the "New Tang Book" is actually just a legend, which does not conform to the logic of normal society at all, and is just a record of folklore. Since Yuan Tiangang is a "god operator", he has known for thousands of years in advance and thousands of years in the future, how can he not know whether Wu Zetian has the intention to kill him? Obviously, as a quasi-"national teacher", Yuan Tiangang absolutely knows Wu Zetian's attitude towards him, so it is impossible for him to look at the powerful who "want to kill himself", let alone blurt out words like "as the Son of Heaven", not to mention that Yuan Tiangang has become supernatural, how can the Wu family hide from him?

In short, I think that the story between Wu Zetian and Yuan Tiangang is just a story, without any historical basis, and it is extremely illogical, and it is more inclined to note**, because there is no other historical material to prove that Yuan Tiangang has seen Wu Zetian's appearance, and the process and remarks of seeing the appearance were originally extremely secretive, but they were already known to the world at that time, and it is obvious that there are elements of hype in later generations.

Because Wu Zetian was not trusted by the Manchu Dynasty at all, there were crises everywhere. If she kills Yuan Tiangang, it will make the hundred officials sneer at her even more, which is completely detrimental to her buying people's hearts and maintaining her rule.

I think maybe Wu Zetian felt that this person might bring him a lot of help, so he didn't kill him, I think Wu Zetian is also for his own interests, I think this is a very normal thing.

Because she wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, she felt that her own hands would damage her majesty, so she chose to wait for a while, wait until the prime minister came, and borrow his hand to kill Yuan Tiangang.

Because he won Wu Zetian's appreciation with his divination, but Wu Zetian was afraid that he would pose a threat to his position, and Yuan Tiangang calculated for him that something would happen in ten years, so he wanted to keep him in case of accidents.

Because Wu Zetian suddenly felt that leaving him would be particularly good for his court, he gave up first.

The emperor can't kill people casually, he must have a valid reason for killing people, and Wu Zetian didn't do anything wrong, so he had no way to kill him.

Because the next emperor at that time was Li Zhi, and Li Shimin could feel Wu Zetian's ability at that time, and hoped that the two of them would help each other.

Wu Zetian was just a talented person at that time, and she was not taken seriously, she did not give birth in the palace for twelve years, and the title of talented person did not change, which did not pose a threat to Li Shimin.

At first, rumors about the heroine King Wu spread to the palace, and later Li Shimin discovered the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, but the Wu family has always been loyal and Wu Zetian has always been peaceful, so he did not kill him.

Before Li Shimin kills someone, he must first consider whether this person is valuable to the court, and generally kills people who endanger the court and society; At that time, Li Zhi lacked imperial talent, and it was difficult to develop the Tang Dynasty well, so he could only let Wu Zetian assist; Besides, Wu Zetian did not make any major mistakes, and he has always been cautious.

The reason why Li Shimin wanted to kill Wu Zetian was because of the rumors of King Wu, the heroine of Tang Taizong at the time, he was afraid of the subversion of the Tang Dynasty's regime, but because Wu Zetian's family had always made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian himself was also very timid, did not do anything, and did not show any horses, so Li Shimin did not kill Wu Zetian in the end.
