Li Zhi is not as weak and incompetent as the history books say. On the contrary, he is an outstanding politician, leaving no trace of his work. When he was alive, he firmly grasped the military and political power and did not let anyone get their hands on it. Wuhou represented some political affairs during Li Zhi's illness in his later years, but he did not hold power. Li Zhi didn't delegate power until his death, and Wuhou was always his political partner.

And the cause of death of the queen mother is also very clear. When Li Zhichu ascended the throne, Sun Chang was ambitious and constantly seized power. Li Zhi is basically a puppet emperor with no real power. Li Zhi and Wuhou worked together against Sun Chang Wuji Group. At this time, in the harem, Xiao Wang changed from the initial rivalry with Wuhou to being an insider for Sun Chang Wuji, betraying Li Zhi, which made Li Zhi very angry. This is their real cause of death, not the legendary death after a military strike. After Li Zhi eradicated Sun Chang Wuji Group, he operated on Xiao Shufei and Qi Wang. Li Zhi imperial edict to death, executed by Wuhou. If Li Zhi didn't agree to kill Xiao Shufei and the Queen, and if he didn't issue an imperial edict, how could the marquis of Wu have the right to kill them? Therefore, it was not the marquis of Wu who killed the king and queen, but Li Zhi. Imagine, since ancient times, the emperor rarely killed women who gave birth to their own children, while Xiao Shufei gave birth to three children for Li Zhi. Why did Li Zhi kill Xiao Wang, because they participated in the power struggle of the imperial court and betrayed Li Zhi?

Since the Shenlong coup, Li Tang has put all the responsibility on Wuhou in order to beautify and whitewash Li Zhi, which is really unfair! ! I hope that history will clear the marquis of Wu! !

Wu Zetian's reputation has been polluted. The Book of Old Tang Dynasty was written two years after the Five Dynasties. It criticized Wu Zetian in the spirit of "praising and criticizing with words and taking Tao as a model", which made Wu Zetian's reputation drop sharply. In The Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi attacked Wu Zetian with "Spring and Autumn brushwork", and her image was already unbearable. Then she criticized Wu Zetian in the prosperous Neo-Confucianism of the Southern Song Dynasty.
