Rebirth and stocking up in the apocalypse, I have tens of thousands of supplies for the world

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to demote his own flesh and blood to the level of a commoner and exile him to a remote place. This approach was undoubtedly equivalent to giving him a chance to be reborn.

To be fair, being able to forgive a son who intended to rebel and usurp the throne is truly a rare and precious act! Looking back at the magnificent life of this emperor.

Apart from that thrilling palace coup, his administration was simply flawless. Whether it was his strategies for governing the country or his achievements in expanding territory, they were all top-notch.

And that palace coup was just an excuse for those who disliked him to attack him.

. . . . . .

"Mother, I have decided to enter the palace. Although the future is uncertain, I will definitely try my best!"

She was only fourteen years old. She looked at her mother with firm eyes, said these words, and then stepped into the palace gate without hesitation.

However, despite her stunning beauty, she failed to win the emperor's heart. It turned out that the emperor already had a bright white moonlight hidden in his heart - the gentle, dignified, virtuous queen.

The emperor did not have much interest in the beautiful woman in front of him. What he was fond of was always the temperament and grace of the queen.

Although she was given the name "Mei Niang", her status always remained that of a talented person and had never been improved at all. Even so, fate did not seem to intend to let her go.

Because, in this deep palace, there is another person who loves her - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When the emperor was ill, the prince took the initiative to assume the responsibility of taking care of his father.

During this period, the feelings between him and Mei Niang grew stronger, and they often exchanged glances and confided their feelings to each other while passing items or asking about each other's health.

With the death of the emperor, Mei Niang was forced to go to a nunnery to practice, as if she was destined to spend the rest of her life in this quiet place.

However, the changes in the palace never stopped. At that time, the Queen was jealous of the Emperor's favor for Concubine Shu, and after much thought, she remembered Mei Niang who was far away in a nunnery.

. . . . . . .

Thus, a carefully planned conspiracy quietly unfolds...

With the Queen's clever arrangement, Mei Niang was able to return to the palace. This time, she was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, radiating eye-catching brilliance.

With her extraordinary wisdom and beauty, Mei Niang quickly won the emperor's heart and became his beloved. The once favored concubine Shu had to be eclipsed and retreat to a corner.

From then on, Mei Niang's status in the palace was at its peak and no one could compete with her. This legendary experience also became a topic of discussion among people inside and outside the palace.

In fact... people in later generations all said that this emperor was stupid and incompetent, but in fact it was because his father and wife were too brilliant that his own brilliance seemed a little dim.

With the cooperation of the scheming couple, the two took the lead in eliminating the current leader of the Guanlong Group, who is also the uncle of the current emperor.

What followed was that a large number of aristocratic families were implicated and put on trial, and this incident allowed Mei Niang to taste the sweetness of power for the first time.

After that, she eliminated those who posed a threat to her in the palace one after another, and finally succeeded in ascending the throne of Queen. At first, Mei Niang did not dare to reveal her ambitions too much, but she had no choice but to do so because the emperor was in poor health and suffered from rheumatism.

Therefore, the court ushered in a situation of "two saints ruling the court". However, not long after, the emperor noticed some strange clues.

Therefore, the emperor secretly tried to win over an important official to plot big things, but unfortunately, his move was already known by the current queen.

Then... something unexpected happened. The emperor betrayed the minister without hesitation, resulting in the minister's entire family being brutally slaughtered.

Minister: Damn it...

. . . . . . .

The queen knew that in order to consolidate her power, she had to take some special measures. So, after careful consideration, she carefully planned and launched a policy guideline called "Twelve Suggestions".

As soon as this plan came out, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, quickly attracting a lot of attention.

The most crucial point is that through this move, the queen successfully recruited a group of young talents from poor backgrounds but with great talent, who later became her most capable right-hand men and women - children from poor families.

Since ancient times, the writings of scholars have been as sharp as swords, and their power has stood the test of time and has been repeatedly confirmed by later generations.

As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and he who wins the sincere submission of scholars can often rule the country. Time flies, and several years passed in a whirlwind. The emperor, who was four years younger than Empress Wu, could not withstand the erosion of time and passed away.

From this, we can see that longevity is indeed the true meaning of life! However, how could Empress Wu, who was full of ambition and aspirations, be content with this? The ordinary life of the empress dowager could not satisfy her restless heart at all.

Fortunately, her son was quite sensible and took the initiative to abdicate the throne to his mother, allowing the 67-year-old empress dowager to successfully ascend the throne and rule the world.

In fact, there was a reason why Empress Wu was able to successfully become emperor. On the one hand, the country had once had a great emperor who was unparalleled in the world and served as a role model.

This former emperor ascended the throne with his extraordinary talents and outstanding achievements, showing the world that as long as one has real talent and knowledge, one can rule the world.

Because of this, his descendants were deeply influenced and formed a unique way of thinking: only those who are both virtuous and talented can rule the world.

On the other hand, thanks to Wu Zetian's firm control over scholars, the imperial examination system she promoted gave those well-read people an excellent opportunity to shine, allowing them to embark on the road to official career and realize their ambitions.

In this way, they naturally and willingly pledged loyalty to Empress Wu, laying a solid foundation for her regime.

At the same time, Wu Zetian's wise decisions broke the traditional aristocracy's monopoly on power, allowing more ordinary people to see the light of hope.

This change not only stimulates social vitality, but also injects a continuous source of power into national development.

She became the only orthodox female emperor in history.

. . . . . .

There are always people who say that she was able to rank high because she was a woman. But if she was really incompetent, and yet she was able to ascend the throne, doesn’t it mean that the court officials and royal children at that time were even more useless?

Because of her identity as a woman, the praises from later generations always carried a strange meaning, and a group of men attacked her mercilessly, as if they could become great by scolding her.

The empire was able to reach such a prosperous level later on, and the contribution of this empress was undoubtedly great.
