Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in Chinese history. Although she reigned for only 15 years, her rule of the Tang Dynasty lasted for half a century. During her dictatorship, the society was stable and the Tang Dynasty The economy is also developing rapidly, but in addition to Wu Zetian's superb ruling ability, there are also some bloody methods she used, which also laid the foundation for Datang's peace.
Wu Zetian killed countless people throughout his life. After he became emperor, he killed many officials of the Li Tang faction, which directly led to the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty for a period of time. After Wu Zetian officially proclaimed emperor, in order to consolidate her power and status, she also carried out a massacre against the Li Tang royal family. Even his own flesh and blood cannot be spared. Before that, Wu Zetian promoted many children of the Wu family and gave them marquis, but the fate of these descendants was mostly rough.
Wu Zetian's half-sister, the Korean wife, she also has a daughter of Helan. Wu Zetian at that time, in order to win over Tang Gaozong, he did not hesitate to let Wushun bring his daughter into the palace to seduce Tang Gaozong, thereby consolidating Own status, but after Wu Zetian consolidated his status as a queen, in order to prevent the Dongchuang incident, he ordered the death of both mother and daughter. This shows that Wu Zetian's methods are so vicious that even his relatives will not let it go.
Wu Chengsi is Wu Zetian's nephew, who ruled the court as a queen during Wu Zetian. In order to consolidate his own power, Wu Zetian canonized Wu Chengsi as Shangshu Fengqing, and soon after, he was promoted to secretary supervisor, and then he held a heavy position, and later became the prime minister. This position lasted ten years. Specializing in power struggle for the Wu family, he was highly valued by Wu Zetian, and he was extremely valued, and became the next heir of Wu Zetian.
But under Di Renjie’s persuasion, Wu Zetian finally made Li Xian the crown prince. Therefore, Wu Chengsi's dream of proclaiming emperor was disillusioned, and finally died with melancholy, but the truth of his death, it is also said in the wild history that Wu Zetian did. Wu Sansi, who was also Wu Zetian's nephew, also became a driving force in consolidating Wu Zetian's position, and he secretly framed many members of the Li Tang family. In the three years of Shenlong, he was killed by Li Chongjun when he sought to abolish the prince Li Chongjun. After his death, Tang Ruizong Li Dan opened the coffin to whip his corpse.
and Wu Zetian's only safe descendant is his niece Wu Hui, the daughter of Guan Jiangzhou Governor Wu Youshan, her father died very early, she was born in Imperial Palace, in the 12th year of Kaiyuan, Tang Xuanzong abolished the queen and named the Wu family Hui concubine. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Concubine Wu Hui passed away, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty named him the queen, which can be said to be the best ending among Empress Wu Zetian.
Under the cover of the nest, there are no eggs. After Wu Zetian's death, the descendants of the Wu family were either hunted down or exiled, except for the concubine Wu Hui who was under the shadow of imperial power. After the Wu family flourished for a while, they have since disappeared from the stage of history.
