Wu Zetian built a secret room and went in every night before going to bed, but did not let anyone near. What was the secret?

In fact, there is no shocking secret. Inside the secret room is a Buddhist hall with portraits of Li Shimin and Li Zhi. There are different opinions as to why Wu Zetian set up this Buddhist hall. The specific analysis is as follows: 1. After establishing the secret room. , the guards strictly guarded it, and only Wu Zetian could enter.

There is no clear record in history as to when Wu Zetian's mysterious secret chamber was built. It is generally believed that it was built after Wu Zetian became emperor, and it is located next to the Mingtang of her palace. It is said that Wu Zetian would go in and stay for a while every night, always alone, and no one else was allowed to enter. There was once an uninformed and bold palace maid who followed Wu Zetian quietly into the secret room. After being discovered, Long Yan was furious and beat the palace maid who entered the secret room to death with a stick in front of everyone to warn others. If anyone breaks in without permission again, this is what will happen.

Since then, the secret room has been heavily guarded. As a result, the mystery of the secret room has been spread step by step, causing many speculations. Due to the fact that Wu Zetian adopted a male pet, some people think that this secret room was used to hide the beauty in the golden house. Some people also say that the reason why Wu Zetian's beauty lasts so long is because she practiced the magic of immortality in this secret room. There are also speculations that there are many priceless treasures in it. In short, before the mystery is solved, various rumors are endless, but no one dares to confirm what is in the secret room. After all, accidentally touching Long Yan is a death penalty. 2. After the secret room was opened, it was found that it was only a Buddhist hall with portraits of Li Shimin and Li Zhi hanging and a capacity of a hundred people.

After Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate, everyone finally found the opportunity to open this mysterious secret room. However, after opening the secret room, I didn't find any surprises. Instead, it made people a little more confused, and even gave rise to a new round of speculation. First of all, the setting of the secret room is very simple. There are no valuables. It is a Buddhist hall that can accommodate a hundred people. There are only two portraits hanging in the Buddhist hall, one is Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. It is far from the idea that a golden house hides a beauty or contains rare and valuable jewelry. 3. Regarding the reasons for setting up the secret room, there are two theories.

Secondly, after the mystery of the secret room was solved, people had new arguments about why Wu Zetian built such a secret room. The first theory is that Wu Zetian may feel guilty about Li Shimin and Li Zhi. After all, she is indeed a power grabber. Moreover, most of Li Zhi's eight sons did not survive, including the two sons born to Wu Zetian, who were poisoned and forced to death by Wu Zetian. Only the third son of the emperor Li Xian and the fourth son of the emperor Li Dan remained.

Therefore, everyone speculated that Wu Zetian would go to the Buddhist temple at night and confess in front of the portraits of the two men in an attempt to atone for her sins. But judging from Wu Zetian's actual actions in history, this statement seems somewhat unreasonable. Because everything Wu Zetian did was to reach the pinnacle of power. If she had a heart of repentance, she might not be able to be so ruthless and ruthless.

Another theory is that after Wu Zetian became emperor, she was a noble person and would not reveal her true feelings easily in front of everyone. The Buddhist hall in the secret room became a place for her to meditate and cultivate her nature. She talked to the portraits of two men who had a deep connection with her in order to seek spiritual comfort and peace. In short, these are all subjective conjectures of later generations. Only history can know the specific truth.
