Wu Zetian must be very clear to friends and friends that she is the only orthodox female emperor in the history of the mainland.
Before Wu Zetian became emperor, she went through two emperors, Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and she called empress and raised many male favorites in the harem. After her death, she only erected a wordless monument for posterity, which can be called a generation of legends.
After the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Wu Zetian first made the crown prince Li Xian obey the edict and ascend the throne, while she became the empress dowager and interfered in imperial politics as the empress dowager.
Soon after, Li Xian was deposed by Wu Zetian, and Li Dan ascended the throne, but Wu Zetian still interfered in imperial politics.
Later, however, Li Dan changed his surname to Wu, while Wu Zetian followed the trend and ascended the throne as emperor and changed the name of the state to Zhou.
Although Wu Zetian is very remarkable, her private life in her later years was also very promiscuous.
In his later years, Wu Zetian believed that since the emperor could have three thousand beautiful harems, he would also raise three thousand "concubines" in the harem, but these "concubines" were men.
This life lasted for more than ten years, but she never became pregnant. This is because when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he was already 67 years old, and he had long passed the best age for childbearing, so it was not easy to get pregnant.
In addition, although it was ancient at that time, there were also some contraceptive measures, and as a female emperor, it was impossible for her to have children with these male pets like playthings, and their only role was to relieve Wu Zetian's loneliness.
