Empress Wang walked to the bed and looked at the baby playing with her, feeling indescribable love.

She is not in good health, and although she has been in the palace for several years, she still has nothing to do.

She lovingly teased the baby for a while before leaving reluctantly.

At this moment, Wu Meiniang got up suddenly and walked quickly into the baby's room.

She was now in front of the bed, staring at her daughter, suddenly a ruthless look flashed in her eyes.

Wu Zetian stretched out his right hand and strangled the baby's neck.

The baby struggled a few times and stopped moving.

Wu Zetian covered her daughter with a quilt again, pretending nothing happened.

. . . .

All the emperors and people in the heavens and the world couldn't help turning their heads to look at Wu Zetian sitting on the dragon chair.

Everyone gasped.

Ying Zheng said in amazement: "Since ancient times, tiger poison has not eaten its children! She is so inhumane!"

Emperor Wu of Han's complexion suddenly changed.

"She can kill her own flesh and blood with her own hands, and her heart is so indifferent! Just now she didn't even hesitate at all! She didn't even shed a tear!"

"It's scary!"

Li Shimin, Liu Xiu and others looked terrified.

Since ancient times, the emperor's family has used all means to fight for the throne, but no one has ever been able to calmly strangle their newborn baby to death.

Although Zhao Kuangyin and other later emperors were familiar with this period of history, at this time, when the scene in the sky was played again, everyone was still shocked.

. . . . . .

The picture in the sky changed.

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to visit his daughter, Wu Zetian pretended to laugh, opened the quilt, looked at the child together, and found that her daughter was dead, Wu Zetian immediately pretended to cry.

She asked the maids what was going on, and all the maids said: "The empress has just been here."

Li Zhi was furious: "The queen actually killed my daughter!"

The video changed again.

Queen Wang knelt on the ground.

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi asked angrily.

Queen Wang shook her head and denied that she was the murderer of the princess.

Li Zhi was so angry that he kicked her to the ground with both feet.

. . . . . .

Wu Zetian leaned on the dragon chair, staring blankly at the infant baby in the video.

Two tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

This was already three or forty years ago, but this incident haunted her like a nightmare.I have been chasing power before, and I have been avoiding this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

But at this time, after Zeng Juxian mentioned it, the tenderness hidden in the deepest part of my heart broke out.

She has always regretted doing it, but had to.

. . . .

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi looked at her angrily.

It turned out that I really wronged Queen Wang at the beginning, and her mother was the real murderer.

"Even a daughter who is just full moon can be killed with her own hands!"

"Cruel, hot, cold, ruthless, cold-blooded, calm, decisive, scheming..."

"It's no surprise that she can become the emperor!"

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu sighed.

The emperors nodded slightly. Although they were not ashamed of Wu Zetian's deeds, she had almost all the elements to become an emperor.

[Because of this matter, Li Zhi has since then planned to "abolish Wang Liwu". 】

[But at that time, the court ministers Tuogu headed by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were powerful, and Li Zhi could not make a promise. 】

[Changsun Wuji and others all opposed Tang Gaozong's abolition of Wang Liwu. This was not only the great trust of the former emperor Tang Taizong Li Shimin, but also because the Queen Wang was the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan. 】

[This matter is no longer a simple matter of abolishing the queen or not, but involves the imperial power and the powerful clans of the five surnames and seven wangs competing for power. 】

[Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi wanted to kill two birds with one stone, with Wu Zetian as the empress, but also able to attack these Guanlong aristocratic groups and take power into his own hands. 】

[Soon, Li Yifu, a member of Zhongshushe, was the first to support "abolishing Wang Liwu", and was rewarded heavily by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. 】

[Other officials saw such a huge reward for supporting "abolishing the king and establishing Wu", so they all supported Wu Zetian as the empress. 】

[For a while, Xu Jingzong and other treacherous officials all surrendered to Wu Zetian. 】

[There are more and more courtiers who support Empress Wu Zetian, and they are even able to compete with Changsun Wuji and others. 】

【To be on the safe side, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi decided to ask Li Ji, another minister left to him by his father Li Shimin.He and Changsun Wuji are both veterans and heroes of Zhenguan, with high positions and great influence. 】

【Li Ji may have seen it through. The obstruction of Changsun Wuji and others is already blocking the car with mantis' arms.It may also be that they simply do not want to get involved in these matters between the DPRK and China. 】

[He only said one sentence lightly: Why do you need to ask outsiders about your Majesty's family affairs? 】

[This gave Li Zhi a reassurance. 】

[A few days later, Li Zhi abolished Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu as ordinary people, and their parents, brothers, etc. were also dismissed from office and exiled to Lingnan. 】

[Almost at the same time, Li Zhi once again issued an edict to make Wu Zetian the empress. 】

[Wu Zetian became a queen, this is a symbolic event.She has completely taken the first step towards power. 】

Later emperors such as Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di couldn't help sighing when they thought of what Wu Zetian had done after becoming a queen.

Especially during the Wu Zhou period, cruel officials ruled, and the entire court was bloody, and everyone was in danger.

Although Wu Zetian made great achievements, she could not cover up the mistakes she made.

However, Wu Zetian promoted common people and poor students, and attacked the interests of nobles such as the Guanlong Group, which seriously disintegrated the social status of the five surnames and Qiwang, and gave the entire common people more channels for advancement.

No one can match this feat.

[Tang Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Meiniang took another four years until the fourth year of Xianqing to demote Changsun Wuji and other veterans and loyal officials from the capital. 】

[Li Zhi basically realized the monarchy. 】

[And as the spokesmen of clans such as Changsun Wuji quit the court, it marked that the power of famous clans since the Eastern Han Dynasty began to sink to the bottom of the valley, and their influence became weaker and weaker. 】

[By the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families who had stood for hundreds of years completely withdrew from the stage of history. 】

【October of the fifth year of Xianqing, Li Zhifeng had a seizure, dizzy and unable to handle government affairs, so he asked Wu Zetian to handle government affairs, and Wu Zetian walked into the center of power unconsciously. 】

[Because Wu Zetian is proficient in history books, she has a lot of speculation about the governance skills of previous dynasties. She handles government affairs in an orderly manner. 】

[This also allowed her to win the support of courtiers and common people. 】

[Tang Gaozong Li Zhi also became dependent on her because of this. 】

[Even if Li Zhi's condition improved a little and he went to court in person, he still let Empress Wu Meiniang listen to the government behind the dragon chair. 】

[The two of them are honored as "two saints". 】

[And it is precisely because of this stage that Wu Zetian handled the government and learned many concepts of governing the country, whether it is influence or power, it further expanded. 】

[This also laid the foundation for her future enthronement as emperor. 】

[In the second year of Yongchun, Li Zhi passed away in the Zhenguan Hall of Ziwei Palace. At the end of his life, the prince Li Xian came to the throne. If there are military and state affairs that cannot be judged, they will be decided by Empress Wu Zetian. 】
