凤舞九天：中国唯一女皇武则天的权力之路
第一期：入宫·落发·命运的转折点

大家好！欢迎收听《凤舞九天》，我是子木。
在中国两千多年封建王朝史上，她是唯一一位——是的，唯一一位——被正史承认、登上皇帝宝座并建立自己王朝的女性。
她的名字，是武则天 (Wǔ Zétiān)。
但这条通往权力顶峰的路，起点却充满荆棘。公元624年，武则天出生。14岁，因美貌聪慧被选入唐太宗后宫，成为低等妃嫔——才人 (cáirén)。在雄主李世民身边，她默默汲取着权谋智慧。
然而，太宗驾崩，命运急转直下！按照残酷的宫廷规则，没有生育的她，必须削发为尼，在感业寺 (Gǎnyè Sì) 的青灯古佛前，耗尽余生...
难道，这个才华横溢的少女，就此被历史遗忘？她的野心与光芒，真能永远被寺庙的高墙封锁？
不！ 一道来自皇宫深处的目光，从未离开她... 谁在注视？这束目光，又将如何撕裂她黯淡的命运？
尼姑庵到皇后宝座！惊天逆转背后的男人是谁？我们下期再见
