As a result, Wu Zetian became the Empress Dowager Wu smoothly. However, her children were not as energetic and capable as her. On the contrary, they were all just like his father and of no use.

Under such circumstances, Wu Zetian had more bold ideas. She knew that everything was under her control. She knew that as long as she wanted to do something, there was nothing she couldn't do, even if it was

As the empress, no one can stop her.

After Li Zhi's death, Wu Zetian symbolically made both of her sons emperors. Then she deposed them both. The reason why she deposed her two sons as emperors was because she felt that they were not very good at being emperors.

The result she wants.

There was no other way, Wu Zetian had no choice but to take the throne herself. Although she also knew that she was only one step away from the throne. As long as she took a casual step, she could sit on the throne. But she also knew that this step was risky.

What is forbidden in the world is something that is not allowed in such a patriarchal society.

Therefore, if Wu Zetian wants to take this very easy step, it is also very difficult. Because the sword of male power hangs over her head. If she wants to take this step, she has to face the world

Men's ridicule.

Therefore, even if she was Wu Zetian, she had to think twice before taking this step. She also thought of a perfect strategy, a very artistic strategy of showing off.

If Lao Zhao acted coquettishly at that time because of the situation, then Wu Zetian's pretentiousness at this time was purely because he wanted to be the first to eat crabs and had to think twice before acting.

Just like this, one day, a very interesting scene occurred in Chang'an City. Countless people in the capital took to the streets to parade and put up slogans asking Wu Zetian to become emperor.

Everyone knows that Wu Zetian is a woman. Women cannot be emperor. This is a rule established by our ancestors. But when Wu Zetian came here, it actually changed. She wanted to be the emperor herself.

But she couldn't directly shout that I want to be the emperor, nor could she directly sit on the throne and say that both children are useless and there is no other way. She has to let me control the world in person. She can only come first and obey the destiny.

After a performance, he could walk coquettishly to the emperor's throne.

Imagine the scene at that time. A woman wore the emperor's clothes, sat on the emperor's throne coquettishly, and then became the only female emperor in history. This scene is also very strange.

In contrast, although Lao Zhao was also showing off, he might have sat on the emperor's throne coquettishly. But when this woman coquetted, she was definitely much prettier than the man.

Therefore, Wu Zetian's pretense is innate and does not require practice or imitation. Zhao Kuangyin's pretense is obviously very artificial. It is not as artistic as Wu Zetian's pretense.

As for Lao Zhao's despicable performance, it was fake at first glance. Two suns suddenly appeared in the sky. I don't believe it.

But Wu Zetian was different. Her performance was obviously very artistic. Many people took to the streets to parade, and then put up slogans asking Wu Zetian to become emperor. What a touching scene it was.

Just think about the world at that time, who didn't know that Wu Zetian had long been a powerful figure. The world had been under her control for a long time. It can be said that since Li Zhi fell ill and ignored the government, Wu Zetian had the final say in all major affairs in the world.

.

This situation is no longer just one or two days, one or two months, one or two years, it has been many years.

Since Wu Zetian has long been a behind-the-scenes emperor, it is only natural for her to come to the stage and meet the big guys.

Under such circumstances, Wu Zetian held a mass demonstration and asked the people to petition for her to be the emperor. Wouldn't that be very in line with the destiny of heaven!

So, Wu Zetian had something to say, and she had a reason to become emperor. This must have been what she said to the emperor and his ministers at that time.

'Everyone, you have all seen it. It's not that I, Wu Zetian, have to be the emperor, it's the people who have to let me be the emperor. Do you think I can't do it? What does it mean that public opinion cannot be violated, and what does it mean that even a boat carrying water can capsize?

I think you are all well-educated and have much more knowledge than a little girl like me. You should have seen the current situation clearly. If I were not the emperor, the common people would be making trouble at the gate of the palace every day! For the sake of peace in the world.

, in order to comply with public opinion, I can only risk the disapproval of the world and become the first female emperor in history.

In fact, I really don’t want to be the female emperor, and I don’t want to be a woman who puts pressure on all men in this man’s world. I am already sixty-seven years old, and I am an old woman. How can I still have sex?

What kind of ambition? I just want to make Datang's country more stable and more prosperous.

There is just no way, public opinion cannot be violated, and we cannot pretend not to hear the voices of the people. Since the people have to force me to be the emperor, I have no way. Although the emperor is a great person, he still has to listen to the people. The emperor

No matter how great you are, it is not as great as the people in my heart. I am not the emperor for anyone, but for the people.'

Just imagine, if Wu Zetian had said such very reasonable words to the emperor and his ministers at that time, what would they have done? Of course they would all kneel down and shout long live the mountain.

In this way, the first female emperor in Chinese history was born. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the result was very good. Compared with the time when Zhao Kuangyin entered the capital with an armed horse and an iron horse, and imprisoned the orphans and widows of the Lao Chai family.

He got up and sat on the emperor's throne in a grand manner. It was really "justifiable" for Wu Zetian to sit on the emperor's throne.

What Li Yi was talking about was spitting and flying, and he was completely immersed in the historical scenes. It was as if he was telling a historical story in front of many people.

Originally, this guy was a braggart. Even if there was only one audience, he was still spitting all over the place and didn't even know where he was.

Suddenly he heard a sound of snoring, and then he woke up and quickly looked to see who was snoring, disturbing his interest in telling stories. It turned out to be no one else, but his only audience, his dear mother.

'Oh my God! I've been talking for a long time, but I'm actually playing the harp to a cow! It's a waste of time to talk to me. I've told so many historical stories, but I'm just talking to the air, which can only be regarded as practicing eloquence!'
