In ancient China, it was a feudal society where male power was supreme, at that time, the status of every woman was very humble, but even so, there was a female emperor in history, she was Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian was the only orthodox female emperor in Chinese history, and her life was also full of legends, but Wu Zetian did not idle her in her later years to raise male pets and use cool officials, but even so, Wu Zetian's contribution to history was still very large, at the same time, he invented a system. We still use it today.
When Wu Zetian ascended the throne, because she was a woman herself, the ministers of the court were not very satisfied with Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian did not care very much about it, because at that time she was already the ninth and fifth emperors, and they all enjoyed the rights that the emperor should enjoy, everyone knows that the general emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and Wu Zetian has raised a lot of male pets in order to enrich the harem, but it is because of this behavior that it has also attracted a lot of insults from many people.
Wu Zetian hid a lot of handsome brothers in his harem. At that time, if you want to successfully enter Wu Zetian's harem, handsome is only secondary, more important is to be physically strong, and the most famous in it is Zhang Changzong, not only that Zhang Changzong and his brother serve Wu Zetian together, not only to solve their own physical needs, in the political aspect, Wu Zetian will also use them to suppress the ministers in the imperial court, it can be said that Wu Zetian's heart is still very high.
But Wu Zetian is not like those male emperors in ancient times, obsessed with beauty, she is still very powerful in the government, such as the reforms implemented during the reign of Wu Zetian, which also laid the foundation for the later Kaiyuan prosperous era, the most important thing is that Wu Zetian attaches great importance to the selection of talents, therefore, the imperial examination system is also carried forward in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian is not crediting those relatives in the family or those big families, everyone is very fair and must pass the scientific examination to apply for official positions.
It can be seen that Wu Zetian attaches great importance to the imperial examination system, and she believes that only the talents selected in this way can be useful to the imperial court, so that those corrupt officials and officials will not have the opportunity to appear again, and it has to be said that after Wu Zetian changed this system, the future dynasties have gradually used it until now.
