For thousands of years, the world has given her different views. Some people praised her for challenging feudal authority in a society where men are superior to women, knowing how to select talents, making great efforts to make the country rich and the people safe. Some people disapprove of her vicious way of killing dissidents in North Korea in pursuit of power.
However, no matter how we evaluate it, we can't erase the dazzling light of Wu Zetian as the only female emperor in China.
In 690 AD, Wu Zetian changed the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, calling herself the "Emperor of the Holy Spirit" and embarked on the peak of feudal power. Immediately after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he appointed Wu's sons and nephews as prime ministers and generals. Those who made meritorious deeds were often given the name of Wu, and the land tax of the Wu family in the world was removed. Wu Shizu was chased and went to posthumous title to set up a temple.
For a while, Wu's chickens and dogs ascended to heaven and enjoyed all the splendor. Wu Zetian even wanted to spread it to the descendants of Wu Shi a hundred years later.
As the saying goes, see him rise from a tall building, see him entertain guests, and see his building collapse.
On October 2nd, the first year of Shenlong (705), Wu Zetian, who lost her throne after the Shenlong coup, died in Xianju Hall of Shangyang Palace. What was the end of the Wu family after the death of Wu Zetian?
Wu and Wu. Both of them are Wu Zetian's half brothers.
After the death of Wu Zetian's father samurai, the two often bullied Wu Zetian and his mother Yang.
After Wu Zetian came to power, Wu was demoted to the secretariat of Longzhou, and died when he took office, while Wu was demoted to (now northwest Sanya) and died.
Wu Sansi, the son of Wu, sealed. Like Wu, he was promoted to the central government because of his blood relationship with the marquis of Wu, and expanded into the power of the marquis of Wu. Later, he moved the history of the Ministry of Rites and sealed Liang Wang, becoming one of the most important figures among the kings of Wu.
He is a clever chess piece of Wuhou, and he is good at reading aunt's meaning. He once made false accusations against many clansmen in the Tang Dynasty, and succeeded many times. Countless clansmen were granted the death penalty, which cleared the way for Wu Zetian to declare himself emperor. After Tang Zhongzong's younger brother Tang Ruizong ascended the throne, Wu Sansi's coffin was exposed and his grave was destroyed.
