Empress Wu Zetian was greatly troubled by this way of inheritance: if her son is allowed to inherit the throne, it will be a family, but it is not a surname with himself; If you pass the throne to your nephew, you will have the same surname as yourself, but not a family.
Wu Chengsi, the nephew of Wu Zetian, tried his best to become a prince, and even made a vicious move to toss Li Dan, the heir, to death; Persuaded by De and other ministers, the Khitan and Turkic fought against the Zhou Dynasty successively under the banner of rehabilitation. Wu Zetian saw that the people of Li Tang still turned their hearts to the royal family, and the Wu children were rude.
Wu Zetian finally made up her mind to re-establish Li Xian, the deposed king of Luling, as the Prince. After solving the problem of heirs, Wu Zetian had no thorny problems to solve, so she was full of ambition. As she grew older, Wu Zetian began to indulge in pleasure.
