“However, after Your Majesty Zetian took charge of government affairs, many conflicts arose between you and Emperor Gaozong of Tang.

By the first year of Longshuo, Your Majesty Zetian had already reached a very high level of power. From enduring humiliation at the beginning to wanting to be autocratic later.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang was also somewhat impatient with you and even considered deposing you, Your Majesty.

Later, Prime Minister Shangguan Yi entered the palace and asked Emperor Gaozong of Tang to depose Her Majesty Zetian.

At that time, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was moved because he felt that you had changed. You changed after you gained power.

So Shangguan Yi was asked to draft an edict to depose the empress, but this matter was known to Your Majesty Zetian.

She immediately ran to Emperor Gaozong of Tang and cried, so Emperor Gaozong softened his heart again, and Empress Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong of Tang reconciled as before.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang was afraid that Your Majesty Wutian would resent him, so he put the blame on Shangguan Yi.

He said that he had never thought of deposing the queen, and it was Shangguan Yi who asked him to do so.

After that, Your Majesty Zetian began to rule the country from behind the scenes."

Li Wu shook his head. Emperor Gaozong of Tang was putting the blame on Shangguan Yi. It was true that Shangguan Yi wanted Emperor Gaozong to depose the empress, but Emperor Gaozong himself also had the same idea. Now that everything was thrown onto Shangguan, he was the most innocent person!

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Shangguan Yi's face twitched and he made eye contact with Emperor Gaozong. Emperor Gaozong awkwardly looked away and looked at the sky, the earth, and the air, but not at Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi also knew that he would have a hard time in the future!

The comments were all mocking Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Emperor Gaozong himself was extremely embarrassed and didn't want to read any comments. He just held Wu Meiniang's hand and said affectionately, "Meiniang, I will never destroy you!"

Wu Meiniang lowered her head and said, "I know." She knew how Zhinu felt about her now, and she would definitely not abandon her now, but who would know in the future?

Wu Meiniang secretly looked at the Empress of the Sky Curtain. That was her future self, and she also wanted to be an empress!

When Wu Zetian heard Li Wu's words, she almost couldn't remember that time. It had been a long time and she couldn't remember many things clearly.

"When Emperor Gaozong of Tang was in power, the country was strong, so Your Majesty Wu Zetian advised Emperor Gaozong to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods.

In history, those who went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods were all very powerful emperors, such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and the shameless Emperor Zhenzong of Song, who directly lowered the status of Mount Tai, causing the emperors after him not to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods. It was too embarrassing.”

Li Wu covered his face. This Song Zhenzong was really shameless. He didn't even look at who had gone to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth before, and he still had the nerve to go.

Wu Zetian:......

When she heard Li Wu's words, and when she heard Li Wu talk about Song, she had no good feelings towards him at all, and even thought that the emperors of Song were useless.

How could he have the nerve to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?

Who is disgusting?

Barrage

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty: Of course, Song Zhenzong was really confident. Even Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin didn’t go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, so where did he get the face to do that?

Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji: Don’t mention that wimp. It was he who lost money when the Song Dynasty won and lost when the Song Dynasty lost. Even so, he still went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods. It’s ridiculous. Is he worthy of it?

When the emperors who went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth saw the barrage of comments about Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, their faces became extremely ugly.

Is this kind of wimp worthy enough to go to Mount Tai with them to offer sacrifices to the gods?

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: Is this kind of person worthy of being enthroned on Mount Tai like me?

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: Who are you trying to disgust? Emperor Zhenzong of Song, come out here!

Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi: It's quite disgusting. Is this kind of person worthy? Fortunately, I haven't performed the Fengshan ceremony yet. I won't go to Mount Tai to perform the Fengshan ceremony in the future!

Song Zhenzong was criticized from all sides, and he was completely embarrassed. Especially when Emperor Taizu of Song scolded him harshly in the barrage, calling him a shameful thing. Why were there so many shameful things in their Song Dynasty!

Other emperors also secretly thanked their lucky stars that they did not go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, otherwise, they would be embarrassed to be together with emperors like Emperor Zhenzong of Song.

"This Emperor Zhenzong of Song is so shameless! How could the Song Dynasty have such an incompetent emperor?" Wu Zetian did not hide her disgust at all.

"I can only say that he is overconfident and lacks self-awareness. He is thick-skinned," Li Wu shrugged helplessly. He was so confident. Who could compare to him, Emperor Zhenzong of Song? He was really shameless.

Wu Zetian smiled, but still felt very uncomfortable.

Song Zhenzong himself did not dare to show up at all and was stared at by his ministers, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Anyway, in this battle, Emperor Zhenzong of Song was criticized to pieces.

"Let's skip this. In the first year of Shangyuan, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was called the Heavenly Emperor, and Your Majesty Zetian was the Heavenly Empress. The agricultural book "Zhao Ren Ben Ye" compiled by you also had a great influence.

By the second year of Shangyuan, Emperor Gaozong of Tang's illness became more serious, and he wanted to abdicate the throne to Your Majesty Zetian.

So, it was not accidental that Your Majesty Wu Zetian became the emperor. You also had the support of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.

However, the then Prime Minister Hao Chujun advised against this matter, so naturally it did not come to pass.”

Wu Zetian sneered. Those ministers had always disliked her. They disagreed with her being named queen, and they also disagreed with Nie Zhengshi. In short, they were against her.

Barrage

Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin: @Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, why did you abdicate to Wu Zetian? Are you crazy? If not, you can just be the emperor emeritus and give the throne to your son!

Emperor Taizong of Tang did not understand and was even shocked. What was wrong with his son? He actually wanted to give the throne to a woman. He had sons.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi: Father, you don’t understand. Mei Niang is wise and can control those ministers. There must be a reason for me to do this in the future.

Although Emperor Gaozong of Tang did not know why he wanted to pass the throne to Mei Niang in the future, he also knew that he had made some efforts for Mei Niang to become emperor.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was almost pissed off by Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and kept calling him a rebellious and unfilial son.

He was obsessed with Wu Meiniang.

The other emperors didn't say anything, but they didn't understand what Emperor Gaozong of Tang was thinking.

The empresses were extremely envious. Emperor Gaozong of Tang was so good to Wu Zetian that he even let her help handle court affairs. Unlike them, the emperor was on guard against them in various ways and was afraid of Nie Zheng.

Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief.

"After Your Majesty Zetian heard the news, she summoned many scholars and compiled a large number of books, allowing them to participate in government affairs in order to divide the power of the prime minister.

By the second year of Yongchun, Emperor Gaozong of Tang's health deteriorated, and he later died in the Zhenguan Hall in Luoyang.

The will stated that Li Xian would succeed to the throne, and that there should be no one to decide on military and national affairs, and that all decisions should be made by Your Majesty Zetian.

Afterwards, Li Xian succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and Your Majesty Zetian became the Empress Dowager!

How should I put it, the children of Her Majesty Zetian are not very good," Li Wu shook his head.

Wu Zetian sighed, "If not for this, how could I have succeeded to the throne? My sons are not as good as me." Of course, she also wanted to be the emperor.

Who doesn't want to be an emperor?

Who doesn’t want to stand at a higher place and enjoy greater power?

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, many people in front of the sky curtain laughed. What she said sounded very high-sounding. Everyone knew that Wu Zetian had always been thinking about the throne.
