First, Wu Zetian has experience in governing the country that other women in the harem don't have.

Not everyone can be an emperor. Even if you sit on the throne, you can't sit for long without the ability of the emperor. Wu Zetian is different from some other women in the harem. She was sent to the palace early and became a talent of Emperor Taizong. When Emperor Taizong was in power, she began to help him manage affairs, and his ability to govern the country was greatly cultivated.

When I arrived in Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, I often didn't have the energy to review the paper because of my weak body. At this time, Wu Zetian did it for him, which made Wu Zetian get further exercise in governing the country.

This experience made Wu Zetian familiar with all the work of the emperor and laid a good foundation for calling herself emperor in the future.

Second, Wu Zetian's mind and boldness of vision are not comparable to those of ordinary women.

Women's nature is narrow-minded, easy to haggle over every ounce and selfish, which is a common problem of many women in the harem. Empress Dowager Cixi, for example, is a female politician who can't change these problems and is too self-indulgent, leading to the demise of the dynasty.

Wu Zetian is different. She has a broad mind and verve that ordinary women don't have. When I became an emperor, I didn't have myself for a long time, and it was more about national interests.
