Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in Chinese history, and her appearance has had a major impact on the development of Chinese history, although she is fierce and fierce, and she is still full of admiration when the world mentions her. In the eyes of the world, Wu Zetian is a strong woman who stands tall in the sky, but privately, Wu Zetian also has her own weaknesses, but her weakness has never been mentioned to anyone.
Wu Zetian had a secret room before his death, and those who entered it would die, and it was rumored that a palace maid accidentally broke in and was secretly given death by Wu Zetian, and no one dared to enter it again, until after Wu Zetian's death, the prime minister Zhang Kamzhi opened the secret room and found an unknown secret.
Looking back on Wu Zetian's life, it can be described as vigorous, and it can be called a history of struggle on the road of life. She was originally the daughter of a rich merchant, but with her own efforts to achieve the position of emperor step by step, so that countless men bowed to her, women can be emperors, which the world does not dare to think, but Wu Zetian did it. When Wu Zetian first entered the palace, he was named a talented person, at this time Li Shimin already had Yang Jieyu, who was a national color and heavenly fragrance, and Xu Chongrong, who was talented, wu Zetian could not enter Li Shimin's eyes at all, so until Li Shimin's death, Wu Zetian was still only a small talent.
After Li Shimin's death, Emperor Gaozong of Tang ascended the throne, and his father's bones were not cold, so Li Zhi included his father's woman Wu Zetian into the harem. Wu Zetian has a strong personality, a strange appearance, and a talent for the world, Li Zhi has a weak personality, laziness and incompetence, and the two just form a complementary pattern and get along very well. Li Zhi did not like to handle the affairs of the dynasty, so he handed over full power to Wu Zetian to handle it, and also specially gave Wu Zetian the title of "Queen of Heaven" and allowed her to go to the court to discuss politics together, which is unique in history. After Li Zhi's death, Wu Zetian abolished several princes one after another, initially only in the imperial title system, and later directly established himself as emperor and changed the name of the country to "Zhou".
During the reign of Wu Zetian, she had many powers and strategies and made good use of people, so that the talents were born, and she also rewarded nongsang, reformed the administration of officials, attached importance to the selection of talents, and made outstanding contributions to the political, economic, and cultural development of the country. In the courtroom, Wu Zetian was a strong woman who said one thing and the same, but after taking off the yellow robe, Wu Zetian was just an ordinary woman, she also needed warmth and care, and she needed a broad shoulder to rely on, but there was none. In order to vent her emotions, she specially ordered someone to make a secret room, and whenever she was depressed, she would come here for a long time to vent her inner sorrows.
According to legend, once a palace maid mistakenly entered the secret room and found Wu Zetian scolding the portrait of Li Tang's royal family, and was immediately executed secretly by Wu Zetian. For this secret room, even if someone knows of its existence, they never dare to enter it, because once they enter it, there is only one way to die, what secrets are hidden in this secret room?
It was not until after Wu Zetian's death that the chamber was able to see the light of day. After Wu Zetian's death, Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian took the throne, and the chancellor Zhang Kamzhi led people to break into the secret chamber built by Wu Zetian that year, which was equipped with many organs, and finally opened the secret room after overcoming all difficulties. I saw that the secret room was covered with portraits of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and inside there was a bodhisattva, and next to the bodhisattva was a series of sutras copied by Wu Zetian himself.
At this point, Zhang Kamzhi suddenly realized that Wu Zetian was not an indestructible strong woman, and she was also very conflicted about her own claim to be emperor, so she tried to make up for her sins by copying the scriptures. Before her death, she had made such a testament, she said that she would be buried with Emperor Gaozong as an empress, and there could not be any words on the inscription, as for the return of the throne to the Li Tang royal family, it can be seen that Wu Zetian still could not get rid of the shackles of female morality until his death.
