Why is Wu Zetian chaotic at the top and not chaotic at the bottom? How did Wu Zetian step down?

After ascending to the throne of the queen, she was witty and shrewd, and her strengths of "general literature and history, and multiple power schemes" were brought into full play and developed, so that Gaozong loved her and did not look at her. She also took advantage of the status of the queen, the emperor's favor to herself, and actively participated in the government and politics. In the five years from the sixth year of Yonghui (655) to the fourth year of Xianqing (659), she managed to eliminate her political enemies, degraded the right servant of Shangshu and shot Zhu Suiliang, causing her to die of depression; deposed the eldest grandson Wuji of the same Zhongshu sect and forced him to hang himself; dismissed the supporters of Zhu Suiliang and Changsun Yuanji in the DPRK, consolidated and expanded her influence and power, and removed the obstacles on her way to participating in politics.

She once submitted 12 opinions, that is, the "12 things of advice" in history, which included the development of agriculture, the reduction of taxes, and the opening up of opinions, etc., which is basically a relatively complete set of statecraft. Later, it was also implemented by the edict issued by Emperor Gojong. Later, the reason why Gaozong handed over the right to handle government affairs to Wu Zetian was also because he believed that she had the ability to do so.

The reason why Wu Zetian was able to display her talents in the imperial court in the future has a lot to do with her reuse of the ** from the Shu clan. The imperial examination system was established during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in order to break the bad habit of being an official since the Wei and Jin dynasties and the many drawbacks caused by it. In the Wu Zetian period, the imperial examination system was basically finalized, and many of the new ** were from humble backgrounds, and they needed to be reused at the highest level, and Wu Zetian became their general spokesperson.

A large number of scholars became Wu Zetian's great assistants, and Wu Zetian used them to fight against the old aristocratic opposition and consolidate his power and position.

Because the footholds of the people in the court and the common people are different: most of the people in the court are grateful to Li Tang, and they are dissatisfied with Wu Zetian's usurpation of power, and they are bent on restoring Li Tang's country. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor.

And Wu Zetian's reused ** are all virtuous and talented, and can appease the people.

At that time, the people of the world were peaceful, and no one ate too much to support the affairs of the emperor's family.

Those who are in turmoil, the struggle for power; What is the matter with the people?

The people are safe, because of Tang Zhenguan's work.

If it's all messed up, it's all over.

Wu Zetian is much more capable than that Cixi.

No, he developed and perfected the imperial examination system, pioneered martial arts, and was good at selecting talents.

In 705, Prime Minister Zhang Khan took Wu Zetian to be critically ill and supported the restoration of Zhongzong, honoring Wu as the "Emperor of Zetian Great Sage". In the winter of the same year, Wu died at the age of 82, and the edict "Go to the emperor, called the Great Holy Empress of the Heavens."

supported the crown prince Li Xian to ascend the throne, killed the Wu clan, and forced Wu Zetian to abdicate.

The coup d'état of the son and the people around him was successful, and she **.
