The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Although Wu Zetian was forced to become a monk after Emperor Taizong's death, the new emperor Emperor Gaozong of Tang recalled her to the harem, and after 6 years, she successfully defeated Empress Wang and became the last empress of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and accompanied Emperor Gaozong for 20 years as an empress. After Emperor Gaozong's death, the empress assisted the new emperor as the "Queen of Heaven" and from then on took over the power.
After that, he used a lot of tricks to kill the only two princes who could inherit the throne, and finally he successfully ascended to the throne, becoming the first female emperor of our Chinese nation for thousands of years. Later, Wu Zetian secretly built a secret room, which no one could enter, including his children. It was not until after Wu Zetian's death that this secret room was made public, and it was very simple, with a chair, a Buddha statue, and two portraits of Li Shimin and Li Zhi. Some people say that Wu Zetian came to this secret room once every night before going to bed, and he should be confessing to the father and son of the Li family.
Why repent? The reason is simple, because Wu Zetian robbed Li Shimin and Li Zhi of the world, turning the former Li family into the current martial family, in other words, Wu Zetian is a political power grabber. Therefore, in the ideological cognition of some historians, Wu Zetian must be difficult to sleep every night, and whenever he closes his eyes, he will think of Li Shimin and Li Zhi, and in order to show his inner repentance and show his inner remorse, he quickly got two albums to seek his psychological comfort. However, I personally doubt this statement.
First: If Wu Zetian really had any guilt toward Li Shimin and Li Zhi, she should have ceded the throne to the descendants of the Li family, or else she would have to make Li Tang's descendants as heirs, but since Wu Zetian changed Tang to Zhou in 690 AD, although he made his son Li Dan the emperor in September of the year of the emperor' reign, even his surname "Li" was changed to "Wu". Then wu chengsi, Wu Sansi and other martial disciples were all summoned to Beijing. The following year, Li Dan was deposed again, and Wu Chengsi was made the imperial heir, which caused a dispute between Li and Wu.
Second: Wu Zetian's surname Buddha is certain, in addition to elevating the status of Buddhism to Taoism, the "heaven" that depletes the treasury is used to worship Buddhism, and the huge Buddha statue in the "heaven" is enough to stand ten people with only a small finger. However, Wu Zetian's killing was no less heavy than that of any emperor in all the dynasties, and although she believed in Buddhism, she did not follow the Buddha's path, and it was even more nonsense to say that she used a Buddha statue in the secret room to repent.
To sum up, there are many opinions about the secrets in the Chamber of Secrets, everyone
In speculation, no one knows what is hidden inside. Usually, Wu Zetian sent heavy troops to guard the entrance and exit of the secret room, and no one dared to step into it. Therefore, the secrets in Wu Zetian's secret room are still unknown to no one, and they have become an unsolved mystery of history.
