Ancient society can say that the status of women is very low, and Wu Zetian can become a female emperor. It's hard to imagine how powerful its ingenuity is. Then in the process of its rule over the world, Wu Zetian's talent was no less than that of most emperors in previous generations, and she made good use of talents, emphasizing agriculture and light endowments, making the world peaceful and stable development, so she was highly praised by posterity.
In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, when Wu Zetian was in power, he did not have a good reputation, and he suffered a lot of insults all day long. One reason is that he is not confident in his own being an emperor, and he uses brutal rule to take people's lives and kill many innocent people. The main reason is that he emulated the other emperor harem beauties sanqian, so he also raised a lot of male pets. In ancient times, it was normal for emperors to have many concubines, but female emperors were a bit too much.
In the later years of Wu Zetian's life, in order to choose more male pets, she used various reasons for endless reasons. For example, she says that this is the trick to its yang health, and this method not only does not do any harm to her body, but on the contrary, it can become healthier and healthier, and maintain eternal youth. After all, he was the emperor, and everyone didn't dare to say anything more. Of course, Wu Zetian's requirements for choosing male pets are also very harsh, and he must be strong, healthy, and handsome. Those who did not meet the requirements Wu Zetian could not see it. Even if many meet the requirements, there are many who cannot be selected, which is enough to see the strict requirements.
Since the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Li Zhi, Wu Zetian has endured daily deception in the palace. At night, there was no one around to talk to, whether it was life or the heart must be lonely, so some people came to flatter and gave Some male concubines to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian's favorite and most spoiled are the two sons of Fengge Shilang, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, who were originally the subordinates of Princess Taiping, and later Princess Taiping saw that her mother was lonely and cold, so she gave the two brothers to her mother.
However, the two brothers had no talent, and they used Wu Zetian as a patron, disrupted the imperial court, did not pay attention to the ministers, and offended many people, and Wu Zetian would protect these two brothers every time. Even because the imperial grandchildren talked about the two brothers behind their backs, they ordered the execution of three imperial grandchildren. The courtiers also hated the two brothers to the bone marrow, and on one occasion, the ministers took advantage of Wu Zetian's serious illness and bedridden to kill the two brothers. Wu Zetian finally grew old alone.
Some people say that Wu Zetian, as an emperor, wanted to find a few men to rely on in his old age, and he had to suffer so many insults all day. Actually quite pathetic, what do you think?
