A generation of empresses Wu Zetian, in her lifetime, experienced the most humble period of palace women, and finally through her own efforts, step by step, she stepped onto the high position of the emperor.
Along the way, what she experienced was often harder than we thought. As a woman who existed in the feudal system, it was very difficult to survive in herself, and she not only survived, but was eventually able to become the ultimate ruler of the country. From this point of view, Wu Zetian is indeed a rare imperial talent. Wu Zetian worked hard for the throne for so many years, and what he did not expect was that he was defeated by an 80-year-old man in his later years. Who the hell is this person?
This 80-year-old man's name is Zhang Zhizhi, and when he mentions his name, perhaps many people do not know him, after all, under the brilliance of Di Renjie, he seems to be even more indifferent. As a good young man who strives to be self-motivated, Zhang Zhizhi was full of poetry and books in his early years, and he was full of talent, and even his teachers admired him very much. But studying well does not mean that the career will be smooth, he has been in the early years of the local, as a small county order. He has not had the opportunity to turn the tables for decades, but he has been working diligently to do his job well. After Wu Zetian ascended to the throne, she began to widely absorb talents, so Zhang Zhizhi stood out and became the object of Wu Zetian's heavy use.
Logically, the reason why Zhang Kamzhi was able to have the position of the final prime minister was that Wu Zetian had a great impact on his promotion. But why, in the end, Wu Zetian stepped down from the emperor's throne under the persecution of Zhang Zhizhi, and reluctantly returned the throne to Li Tang? In fact, this is related to the twists and turns of Zhang Zhizhi's life after several tosses, several times being degraded and promoted. At that time, Zhang Zhizhi, due to disagreement with Wu Zetian, the two were disgusted. Wu Zetian demoted him from Chang'an City, and later, on di Renjie's recommendation, he was able to regain his position as a high-powered chancellor. However, in Zhang Zhizhi's thinking, he always believed that the dynasty should be returned to Li Tang and should not be controlled by women. It was for this reason that he later staged a coup d'état.
Although Wu Zetian ascended to the throne of the emperor in her later years, at this time she was already old and was already unable to control the affairs of the imperial court, so she could only entrust many things to Zhang Zhizhi. Although Zhang Zhizhi was doing things with a fair attitude, Wu Zetian's favoritism towards the Zhang brothers also caused gossip in the imperial court. In the more absurd life of Wu Zetian in his later years, Zhang Zhizhi gradually lost his expectations for Wu Zetian, and he decided to launch a coup d'état to return the Li Tang Dynasty to the hands of Li's descendants.
With this idea, Zhang Zhizhi arranged for his cronies to start arranging coup-related matters. In order to stabilize the power of the crown prince Li Xian, on the one hand, he arranged for the army to gather outside xuanwu gate, and at the same time sent people to the Eastern Palace to meet the prince. When both were available, it was obvious that they would kill Wu Zetian's palace with everyone else. Although he was a courtier, Zhang Zhizhi saw the Zhang brothers of the Cholera Dynasty and immediately killed the two without mercy. Zhang Zhizhi then ordered the army to surround the Hall of Eternal Life, and at this time, Wu Zetian had long been unable to compete with the army in front of him on his own, so he could only be forced to do so. Passed the throne to Li Xian. Although Wu Zetian was wise, in the end he could not escape the calculations of Zhang Zhizhi, an old man in his 80s.
Although Li Xian was eventually able to regain the throne, the person who had to be thanked was Zhang Zhizhi. However, because Li Xian himself was not a Ming Jun, when others framed Zhang Zhi, he could not distinguish it, but instead sent him to the frontier area, and then Zhang Zhizhi also died because of the resentment in his heart. It can be seen from this that Zhang Zhizhi has been struggling for the Li Tang Dynasty all his life, but the final result is a foreign country, which is indeed sad and lamentable. Although the imperial court later rehabilitated Zhang Zhizhi and others, Zhang Zhizhi was the most stupid person in people's minds.
