In ancient China, the dragon robe was no longer just a kind of clothing. It was a symbol of supreme power. It can be said that it was the symbol of imperial power and the "forbidden robe" that the emperor could enjoy. Others include ministers, the emperor's sons and brothers. Even if the emperor favored him, he could not wear the dragon robe, and he could not even hide it privately.

This is almost a "high voltage line". If a minister touches this high voltage line, he will be executed at worst and exiled at least. Not only that, after the Tang Dynasty, even the bright yellow was used exclusively for the emperor. No matter how rich the ministers were, they could only be "great and purple" and wore red robe and used purple ribbons.

The well-known story of "yellow robe" vividly illustrates this taboo. Later, the generals of Zhou put a yellow robe on Zhao Kuangyin at Chenqiao Post, launched a mutiny, forcing Emperor Gong of Zhou to abdicate, and the Song Dynasty was established since then. It can be seen that the yellow robe was the most important prop in this mutiny, and it was also a silent declaration - announcing that the highest power was transferred to Zhao Kuangyin who was wearing yellow robe.

"Based the Dragon Robe" is a traditional Peking Opera drama, telling the story of Bao Zheng who was ordered to release grain in Chenzhou during the reign of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty and met a blind beggar woman complaining at Tianqi Temple. This woman was the concubine of Zhenzong and the mother of the emperor of the dynasty, and had a yellow silk poem and handkerchief as evidence. Bao Zheng agreed to return to the court to distinguish the injustice on his behalf.

After Bao Zheng returned to Beijing, he took advantage of the Lantern Festival to watch the lanterns and specially set up Lei Qiang Zhang Jibao's lantern show, pointing out that the emperor was unfilial.

Renzong was furious and wanted to kill Bao Zheng. The old eunuch Chen Lin told the story of the replacing the prince of the raccoon, and the emperor pardoned Bao Zheng and welcomed his mother, Empress Li, to return to court. Empress Li blamed Renzong and ordered Bao Zheng to whip the emperor on her behalf.

No matter how straightforward Bao Heizi was, he was still clear about this matter. How dare he fight the emperor's dragon body? So he adapted to it and took off Renzong's dragon robe and whipped the dragon robe to symbolize beating the emperor. It can be seen that the representative of the highest power is more vivid and specific than the imperial seal.

During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Liu Jin was domineering the world and domineering.

Another eunuch Zhang Yong, who was unwilling to be bullied, conspired with minister Yang Yiqing to get rid of Liu Jin. The key point was to inform Emperor Wuzong that Liu Jin was unjust and wanted to rebel. With the emperor's permission, he sent someone to copy Liu Jin's mansion and searched out the dragon robe and jade seal, which confirmed Liu Jin's intention to rebel. What did an eunuch who hid a dragon robe at home? He was still covetous of the highest power? He was as confused as Wuzong, and when he saw such evidence, he could not spare Eunuch Liu.

In August of the fifth year of Zhengde (1510), Liu Jin was sentenced to lingchi.

At this time, Suo Yuanli directly informed that Li You had hidden the dragon robe. The officials in the court heard the whispers again, and Li Zhi looked at Li You with incredible eyes.

"Fifth Brother...what he said is true or false?"

Li Zhi asked Li You in a stern voice for the first time. This voice was what Wu Zetian wanted. In fact, Li You did not hide the dragon robe at all. This was Wu Zetian's frame-up.

If Li You admits it, it is a rebellion. If Li You does not admit it, then Wu Zetian can send someone to Dunhuafang for search. When searching, just put the dragon robe he prepared into Dunhuafang, which further confirms the evidence of Li You's rebellion.

"I don't hide my dragon robe..." Li You looked at Li Zhi and replied.

"good...!"

Li Zhi didn't say anything, and Wu Zetian shouted loudly, and then heard Wu Zetian say, "The King of Qi does not admit that he has hidden the dragon robe. Do you dare to let the people from this palace go to Dunhuafang to search?"

"You dare... want to enter my Dunhuafang, I think you don't want to live anymore." Li You shouted angrily!

"Haha..." Wu Zetian laughed: "If the King of Qi did not hide the dragon robe privately, then what are you afraid of searching? Let's see... King of Qi, you really disappointed His Majesty.

Your Majesty really regards you as a brother of King Qi. As long as you want, you will give it to you, but you want to make Your Majesty rebellious. It is really worse than beasts."

"Wu Meiniang..." Li You looked at Wu Zetian and said angrily: "I said that I did not rebel. I have always been loyal to Your Majesty. This heart can be seen.

The Hu man in front of him was clearly slander. Does Your Majesty believe what such a Hu man said but not this king?"

Li You looked at Li Zhi, and Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian in panic at this time.

"Okay...!" Wu Zetian shouted ok again, and then listened to Wu Zetian's words: "Since the King of Qi wants me to confirm your rebellion, I will be polite. You said this Hu man just now, and what about the confession of the King of Qi's favorite general Su Dingfang?"

After saying that, Wu Zetian shouted loudly: "Xuan Su Dingfang enters the palace."

At this time, Wu Zetian was very sure that she would definitely be able to drive Li You out of the court today, because Li You's performance was like she was completely unprepared. As long as Wu Zetian could directly force Li You to the corner today, then Li You would have no chance to turn over.

And if you can use a little more force, it may make Li Zhi want to kill him. At that time, you can use Li Zhi to slaughter Li You, which will be even more beautiful.

At this moment, Su Dingfang slowly walked into the hall. At this time, Su Dingfang no longer looked like he was in prison, but was cleaned up and walked into the hall. Su Dingfang bowed to Li Zhi: "Greetings to Your Majesty..."

"Prevent your body...! General Su... I'm here to ask you, you have hidden treasures from the Western Turks in the Western Turks. Who instructed you...!" Li Zhi asked immediately when he saw Su Dingfang coming up.

"Your Majesty..." Su Dingfang stood up slightly, then looked at Li Zhi and said, "I dare not say...!"

"I dare not say...!" Wu Zetian hurriedly said: "General Su, you are afraid of someone in the palace. Don't worry, as long as your Majesty is here and as long as I am here, that person will not dare to do anything to you.

As long as you tell who the person behind your back is, then I and Your Majesty can keep you safe...!"

"Your Majesty..." Su Dingfang looked at Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Zhi nodded: "General Su, don't worry, I have a good word. As long as you tell me who instructs you, no matter who he is, I will definitely keep you safe.

Not only that, I will also let you go and restore your position."

As soon as these words were said, Su Dingfang's eyes finally changed. Su Dingfang looked at Li You on the side slightly, and this eyes were all taken in Wu Zetian sitting behind the curtain. At this time, Wu Zetian's heart was filled with joy.

As long as Su Dingfang can identify Li You, he will immediately ask Li Zhi to issue an order to search Dunhuafang. In this way, if the dragon robe is found in Dunhuafang, Li You can be nailed to death. At that time, perhaps Li Zhi will be furious. With a little guidance, Li Zhi may have a desire to kill.

When Wu Zetian thought of this, she was happy.
