Although he has done a lot of things that future generations can't hope for, when wu Zetian is mentioned, there are still many people who don't think so. The example they gave was that there were other empresses in power, both before and after her, but they did not take the last step. In fact, the so-called first empress is just a name, and many of the deeds she has created are the important reasons why she can penetrate the hearts of the people.
First of all, when she reigned, the number of prime ministers was unparalleled in the world. Many people may think that she is just usurping the throne by means of convenience, so she has not won much support. In fact, this is not a fact at all, she is a person who pays special attention to recruiting talents, so she has set up a large number of prime ministers to do things for her. Even for Luo Binwang, who wrote anti-poetry and cursed her, she also believed that it was a dereliction of duty for officials not to do it for their own purposes.
Secondly, the age of her at that time was incomparable to that of other emperors. Influenced by related film and television dramas, many people have the illusion that she was still so young and beautiful when she became emperor, but this is not the case at all. She was already a 67-year-old man at that time, and it was really rare to know that in ancient times, people as old as her were really rare, but she could still become an emperor.
What is even more rare is that after that, she served as emperor for 21 years, and such a long life is also quite admirable, which shows that she is not only super capable, but also has great energy, which is absolutely very accessible. In fact, before she became emperor, she was already in power, and taking this last step was a matter of course, after all, no one could compete with it at that time. Such strength was something that the empress dowagers in the back, including Cixi, could not do.
Third, her mausoleum is also the largest in the world. Because she became emperor, she attached great importance to her own tomb. In fact, when Li Zhi was emperor, he entrusted this matter to her to handle. Maybe it was then that she was planning for her future. Because the project was so vast, it took 23 years to complete. Of course, when she died, she also chose to be buried with her husband, which was a blocking of the world's leisurely mouth.
Finally, she reigned more than any other emperor. Some people may not be convinced of this, is it more than Kangxi and Qianlong, who reigned for 60 years? In fact, these emperors only reigned for a long time, not the year number changed quickly. According to statistics, she shared 17 era names during her reign, and the reason for doing so was nothing more than to seek good luck.
At least in these four aspects, she is completely a record, of course, there are still many aspects that have not been counted. It can be seen that no matter which empress dowager who has controlled real power in the past dynasties and dynasties cannot be compared with her, which also makes her have a status that no one has surpassed so far.
