Princess Taiping is a well-known historical celebrity. Although she is a nobleman of the royal family, her life is also very rough. She was not very happy in her two marriages in her life, but her political ability is second only to Wu Zetian .
She helped his two brothers seize power, and also made a lot of credit for restoring Li Tang . So why does Princess Taiping have the ability to govern the government? There are two reasons for this.
1, Wu Zetian's guidance
Under Wu Zetian's guidance and training, Princess Taiping gradually began to participate in the government. So why did Wu Zetian guide Princess Taiping to participate in government affairs?
Because Princess Taiping's appearance and character are very similar to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian also likes Princess Taiping very much, so Wu Zetian often discusses the government with Princess Taiping. After a long time, Princess Taiping will have a certain ability to manage the government.
After Li Xian was established as the crown prince, Wu Zetian put Princess Taiping in power, and Princess Taiping moved from behind the scenes to the front, which is also the direct reason why she wants to become the second queen.
2, Li XianLi Dan's reliance
Li Xian and Li Dan's reliance on Princess Taiping enabled Princess Taiping to hold the political power and made Princess Taiping want to be a queen.
So why is Princess Taiping being relied upon? Princess Taiping is the younger sister of Li Xian and Li Dan, and she also has credit for restoring the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Xian ascended the throne, the Wu family was still there, for example, Wu Sansi was still in the court, so Li Xian had to rely on Princess Taiping if he wanted to secure the throne. After Li Xian, Li Dan was able to sit on the throne thanks to Princess Taiping, so Li Dan also relied on Princess Taiping very much.
After Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping was a smash hit, and she was the only princess in history who could hold the power of the government.
Princess Taiping is indeed a talented person, her talent stems from her mother Wu Zetian's guidance and training to her. But the era she lived in could not let her do as she wished.
Therefore, we can understand that whether a person's talents can be fully utilized is related to the times. Therefore, we usually have to accumulate our own abilities and wait patiently for the opportunity to show our talents.
