We all know that Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in the true sense of history, and her reign is longer than many emperors, not only that, not only that, but even Li Zhi's throne was also obtained by Wu Zetian with hard work, so today we will explore why Li Zhi abolished Wu Zetian in his later years.
It is recorded in history that Wu Zetian was a concubine of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin did not favor Wu Zetian very much, so that after Wu Zetian married Li Shimin at the age of fourteen, he did not have a high status.
And to get the favor of the emperor and obtain high power and status is the most important goal of every woman who enters the palace in this life. But there is only one emperor, and even the most amorous emperor will not like many women at once.
Therefore, there are so many concubines in the emperor's harem, there will always be many concubines who are left out in the cold, and a person lives his life alone in the harem.
And Wu Zetian's situation is the same as them, she is not a favored woman in Li Shimin's eyes, but Wu Zetian, who wants to achieve a great career, will not be willing to live a lifetime with himself in this situation. Therefore, she united with Li Shimin's son Li Zhi to seek happiness for the rest of her life.
Li Zhi's situation is very similar to Wu Zetian, so they also developed a mentality of mutual pity. Among all Li Shimin's sons, Li Zhi was not the smartest or the most used by Li Shimin. So Li Zhi is like a transparent person in the palace, and his situation makes his life very difficult.
Li Zhi, who is a transparent person, also needs a strong helper to help him gain his own status in the palace, and Wu Zetian is undoubtedly the best helper. Therefore, they teamed up to help Li Zhi establish a foothold in the palace, so that Li Zhi, who was not treated well by Li Shimin, finally became the heir to the throne after Li Shimin's death.
The relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian is more like the feelings of comrades who cherish each other in the same trench center, and this feeling is above the common good. On the surface, this feeling seems to be very solid and indestructible, but in fact, once there is a conflict of interest, this feeling will be self-defeating. After Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi successfully ascended the throne and became emperor.
He immediately brought Wu Zetian back to the palace from the Induction Temple, and included Wu Zetian in the harem as his concubine. Li Zhi is also a cowardly person, and Wu Zetian's strength makes Li Zhi feel very uncomfortable.
However, without Wu Zetian, Li Zhi would not have succeeded in ascending the throne as emperor after Li Shimin's death, so he was more grateful to Wu Zetian. I am also willing to live this life with Wu Zetian with affection and love.
In Li Zhi's later years, he tried to decree the abolition of Wu Zetian, which can't help but make us wonder, how could Li Zhi, who has a cowardly personality, make up his mind to abolish Wu Zetian?
It turned out that in Li Zhi's later years, Wu Zetian installed his own people in the imperial court and also intervened in matters about the imperial court, which made Li Zhi, as the emperor, feel very dangerous. As a concubine of the harem, she frequently intervened in the affairs of the imperial court, which inevitably made Li Zhi suspicious of Wu Zetian.
Although Li Zhi was determined to abolish Wu Zetian in his later years, because Wu Zetian's power in the dynasty was already too large, Li Zhi could no longer shake Wu Zetian's position in the imperial court, so this matter could only be abandoned. At this time, the relationship between them has broken down, and it is no longer as harmonious as before.
In his later years, Li Zhi was no longer able to control Wu Zetian's position in the imperial court, so he gradually became a nominal emperor. After Li Zhi's death, Wu Zetian immediately ascended the throne and became the first female emperor in history, in fact, Wu Zetian's ability and talent are not under Li Zhi, and she is not inferior to any male emperor in history.
