To find a female representative in ancient China, many people think it should be Wu Zetian who has ascended to the throne. my country has always been a patriarchal society in ancient times, but it has allowed a woman to ascend the highest position. The editor still admires Wu Zetian's courage. In fact, in ancient my country, there were many women who controlled the government, but they did not dare to claim the emperor blatantly. Just like Lu's pheasant, after Liu Bang's death, Lu's pheasant has always been firmly in control of the political affairs, and she has also vigorously supported the Lu family. Anyone who dared to oppose the Lu family was eliminated one by one. Later, the ministers could not bear it. The partnership knocked down the Lu family.
Another example is the Empress Dowager Cixi, she also has a fascinating yearning for power, but although there are examples of Wu Zetian, Empress Dowager Cixi did not dare to claim the emperor herself, so she did the most excessive thing It is to listen to politics. Looking at Wu Zetian, who firmly grasped the power in his hands, they even dared to change the country title. Even the heir wanted to choose from his natal martial arts family. As the orthodox descendants of the Li family, they almost died in her hands. Many people say that they have never seen a cruel woman like her. Wu Zetian's status is not low. His father is a founding hero, and his mother also has the blood of the former royal family.
Because Wu Zetian's father was with Li Yuan to fight the world, Li Yuan gave Wu Zetian a lot of face after establishing the Tang Dynasty. But such a good life did not last long. His father died when Wu Zetian was a teenager. Her cousin bullied their orphans and their widows and drove them out of the Wu family. But because of Wu Zetian's outstanding appearance, her fame was even heard by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, so she wanted to take Wu Zetian into her bag, and the mother Yang, who was dependent on each other, sent her daughter away. Compared with the attitude of the mother, the attitude of the daughter is less. Calm a lot.
Wu Zetian told her mother that I entered the palace to serve the emperor. Maybe I will be lucky in the future. Why should I cry? Wu Zetian herself was very good, so Tang Taizong liked her very much when she entered the palace. Strangely, although Li Shimin liked Wu Zetian very much, he had no intention of promotion. Perhaps Tang Taizong liked Wu Zetian because of her strong personality, and she rarely saw such a woman. But Li Shimin also knew that such a woman would look different after having power, so we all know that Wu Zetian was still the same when Li Shimin died.
Wu Zetian is very dissatisfied with this situation, so she has found a target, that is, Prince Li Zhi. After Tang Taizong's death, Wu Zetian had been in contact with the crown prince who was enthroned. For him, Li Zhi even took her into the harem regardless of everyone's opposition, and even thought of establishing Wu Zetian as the queen. In the end, the minister failed to stop him, and Wu Zetian became the empress of the Tang Dynasty. From then on, the woman began to fight for power. We have all heard of the later events. Wu Zetian succeeded in becoming the emperor and held the power for decades. As a woman, she has status and status, but she has no husband.
So she raises some male pets in the palace, and will change a batch of them at intervals. These male pets are young and good, and their status is very high for a while. Even the ministers must hold them. Later, because Wu Zetian no longer had the vision and courage of his youth, the imperial court was troubled by the two brothers, and Wu Zetian could only retreat to the second line. Wu Zetian, who was promoted from the top, had no power and no male favorite of her own, so she quickly declined, and she died within a short time. However, regarding the cause of Wu Zetian's death, the editor did not find too many records in the books. Experts say that history books are embarrassed to record it because her private life is too messy. The true cause of Wu Zetian's death was revealed, and the decisive female emperor was actually suffering from depression because of the loss of her male favor and power.
