Li Zhi, queen of Tang Gaozong, and Zhou Zetian, the later emperor, were the only female emperors in China history. Binzhou Wenshui (now Wenshui East in Shanxi) was born. When Wu Zetian 14 years old, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin called him into the palace as a talent. After the death of Emperor Taizong, he entered Ganye Temple for Nepal. Tang Gaozong acceded to the throne, recalled the palace, worshipped Zhao Yi and entered Chen Fei. In February of the year of Shengyuan (684), the Emperor Zhong of Heaven was abolished as the King of Luling, and Li Dan, the son of Rui, continued to face the imperial system. Then, in the first year (690), God granted him the title of Emperor, with the title of Zhou. Abolish Zong Rui as heir and change Luoyang as the capital of God.
Wu Zetian's life
Wu Zetian, whose real name is Chang, is from Nanxu Village, Wenshui County, Shanxi Province. Born in the seventh year of Tang Wude (623), he died in the first year of Tang Shenlong (705) at the age of 82. At the age of 67, he proclaimed himself emperor and reigned 15 years. Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was honored as "Great Sage Emperor" after his abdication, and was named "Great Sage Queen" by posthumous title after his death. Since then, the word "Zetian" has gradually replaced its name. Today, people call it Wu Zetian.
Born into an official family.
Wu Zetian is the eighth generation descendant of the Wu family in Wenshui County.
From genius to queen
However, Wu Zetian is always looking for opportunities to show her talents and political ambitions. Once, Emperor Taizong got a fierce horse named "Lion Qi", and no one could tame it. Emperor Taizong sighed for it. At that time, Wu Zetian was waiting by. She bravely put forward the request to train a horse, saying, "I can handle it, but I need three things, a iron whip, two hammers and three daggers. If iron whip refuses to accept the blow, hammer his head with a hammer; If he refuses to accept it, he will cut his throat with a dagger. Horses are for people to ride. What's the use of it if it can't be tamed? " Emperor Taizong praised her courage. This is also a way to govern politics after Wu Zetian. Later, they became like-minded and had close ties with Prince Li Zhi. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan (649), Emperor Taizong died. According to the court practice at that time, Wu Zetian became a nun. Two years' life as a nun has made her comprehensively examine the wealth and risks of court life, and become more and more mature politically.
Ascending to the throne of Empress is the key to the success or failure of Wu Zetian's life, from which her political career began.
Governing the DPRK and showing talents
The first problem Wu Zetian faced after she ascended the throne was how to deal with Empress Shu Ren and Xiao Shufei. In Purple Tongzhi Sword, Tang Gaozong happened to visit the place where he lived. When he saw the doors and windows closed, he shouted, "Is Queen Shu Fei safe?" Hearing this, they sobbed and burst into tears, saying that if the emperor misses the old days and lets my concubine see the light of day again, please change this hospital into Huanxin Hospital. They hoped that Tang Gaozong would come to their senses and revoke their punishment. This matter was soon known by Wu Zetian. As a queen, she has the right to die in the harem, but she knows what it means to let the queen and Xiao Shufei see the light of day again. To this end, Wu Zetian took decisive measures against He Xiao to avoid future troubles.
