Speaking of emperors, everyone must be very clear, but there are many male emperors, so we have to mention a female emperor, she is Wu Zetian. Not only was she the only female emperor, but she was also gifted in governing the country and allowing the people to live and work in peace. In addition, she reformed the examination system and made great contributions to the selection of talents for future generations. However, she also made many mistakes in her life, such as using the wrong people and harming many loyal ministers.
Wu Zetian was originally a member of Emperor Taizong of Tang's Li Shimin. After Tang Taizong's death, she was forced to become a nun. At this time, she firmly grasped Li Zhi and successfully turned over. Wu Zetian returned to the palace again, finally knowing what he wanted. She wanted to take power and become queen. In the end, Wu Zetian got his wish and became an empress. She also bore six children to Emperor Lizhi.
Li Zhi was frail and sickly. At this time, Wu Zetian's opportunity finally came. She reigned for many years and cultivated her power in court. At the height of her power, her ambitions slowly grew. She deposed two emperors and eventually ascended to the throne as the first female emperor in history. She was 67 years old.
Wu Zetian's determination to wage war in his lifetime was very bold. She can deprive her family of her rights. After taking over the world of the Li family, did she feel a little uneasy, Wu Zetian issued a will before his death, only ten words: go to the emperor's name, called Zetian Dasheng Empress. It turned out that the 81-year-old Wu Zetian still wanted to become the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Perhaps it was at this moment that she said the greatest regret of her life.
