Wu Zetian should be the first female emperor in Chinese history to be recognized by the civil and military officials of the imperial court, so her means must not be underestimated. Moreover, during Li Shimin's reign, there were several things that almost took Wu Zetian's life, but in the end they were all resolved by her one by one, the most thrilling of which was when Li Shimin was going to die, Li Shimin asked Wu Zetian before he died: I am gone, why do you do it alone? Wu Zetian returned to 8 characters to save his life. After surviving this great crisis, she practiced at Ganye Temple for five years, and finally waited for a second opportunity, which led to the later ascension to the throne.
Wu Zetian was born from an early age with an ice and snow wit, which was already famous when she was fourteen years old, and later Li Shimin elected her to the palace. However, after entering the palace, the lively Wu Zetian was not liked by Li Shimin. Wu Zetian did not want to be ignored by the emperor for the rest of his life, so he went to the most popular show girl of the emperor to ask for advice. After knowing that Li Shimin liked talented and gentle women, Wu Zetian was favored by Li Shimin for a while and received the title of Wu Meiniang.
As a result, once Li Shimin had a horse with a particularly fierce nature that could not be tamed, and Wu Meiniang excitedly said that she would definitely be able to tame this fierce horse after hearing about it. Li Shimin asked her what she was going to do, and Wu Meiniang said that she would first use an iron whip to whip it, and if she was not tamed, she would use an iron rod, and if she was not tamed, she would kill it with a dagger. Li Shimin looked at her innocent and cute, although he was surprised for a while, he did not take it seriously, and took her to train horses according to Wu Meiniang's will. As a result, in the horse training farm, it was found that what Wu Meiniang said was true, and she naturally did it, at this time Li Shimin knew that Wu Meiniang was a very ambitious and fierce person.
Later, someone found that a stone said that after three generations, the emperor of the Li clan would be replaced by the Wu surname. Li Shimin was furious and killed all the capable martial artists in the country. When it was Wu Meiniang's turn, she thought that she was not afraid of a female stream. Later, when Li Shimin died, he was still a little worried about this woman, so he asked her: If I die, what can you do alone? After a period of silence, Wu Meiniang firmly said 8 characters to save her life: Qinglan Ancient Buddha, for the rest of her life. So Li Shimin did not let her accompany the funeral, in fact, Wu Meiniang had already seen Li Shimin clearly, and after Li Shimin alienated her because of the horse training incident, she knew that Li Shimin might not spoil her anymore, so she hooked up with the prince at that time.
After four years of unclear and white with the prince, Wu Meiniang went to the Ganye Temple, although she also had a deep heart to practice, but she was not willing to die in the temple like this, so she put all her hopes on Li Zhi's body. Later, Li Zhi did take her back, and after returning, Wu Meiniang became a good sister with the empress while pleasing the emperor, and finally the emperor favored her alone and deposed the empress for her. Later, Wu Meiniang stepped into politics step by step, and ascended the throne after Li Zhi's death.
